AGM Presentation - Text 4[th] November 2009

Slide 1:

Slide 2:

My name is Rob Phillips. I am the Chairman and Director of Clinical Science at Uscom and I’d like to welcome you to the AGM of Uscom Ltd.

Slide 3:

On behalf of my fellow directors, Mr Paul Butler, Mr Bruce Rathie and Mr Roman Zwolenski, thank you for your attendance.

Prior to the meeting, we had received Proxies representing 2,513,657 shares, being approximately 6% of the ordinary shares in Uscom Limited. I would also note that the Uscom Auditors, PKF are in attendance.

Slide 4:

Today’s meeting will begin with a Chairman’s update, the CEO review of operations, the presentation of the financial accounts, followed by the presentation of the resolutions and then general discussion.

Slide 5:

Before proceeding with the Chairman’s Report, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the directors, management and staff of Uscom who continue to work with commitment and enthusiasm to drive Uscom toward our goal of being an important global medical device Company.

Slide 6:

For Uscom 2009 has been a year of focussing on goals and achieving them. At the 2008 AGM we articulated a strategic course for our Company and we are pleased to update investors of our results for the 2009 Financial year. Our focus

on profitability resulted in an increase in revenue of 70%, despite the GFC and much of last year being devoted to establishing the new Spacelabs partnership. Our intention to develop a global marketing partnership resulted in the signing of a partnership with Spacelabs Healthcare covering nearly 75% of the world market. Our goal to develop standards of clinical care statements resulted in 6 major academic endorsements. Our pursuit of global adoption has now resulted in approximately 250 installations worldwide. These achievements are a product of a focused and committed approach to strategy and management articulated at our AGM last year. We believe these results and a continuation of this strategy has our Company well positioned for rapid growth coming out of the GFC.

Slide 7:

The execution of our partnership with the US major Spacelabs Healthcare marks a new phase in the evolution of our Company. Essentially 2009 was devoted to the establishment of this partnership. Buiilding this partnership involved develping the structure of the relationship and the terms of the agreement, and then developing the support and training materials for the US, South and Central America, Europe, Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. We then conducted the training for the near 60 sales representatives in these regions. The Spacelabs partnership is now positioned to be the commercial driver for organic growth in the coming years as we collaborate to develop and exploit the in hospital USCOM market. This partnership will shift us from an Australian start up to a significant global device Company with much of our on going resources focused on growing this important relationship and developing new opportunities that may emerge within the partnership.

Slide 8:

As a result of the Spacelabs marketing partnership, and our Pacific Mecial Systems partnership in China and South East Asia, and our LEA Medizintechnik distribution in Germany and

==> picture [114 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Turkey, Uscom now has near total global sales coverage, and access to in excess of 80 specialised USCOM sales people worldwide. These partnerships are providing a salesand revenue platform for organic growth in the important “in hospital” market.

Slide 9:

There are now in the order of 250 USCOM units installed world wide, and this number continues to increase as new centres adopt this technology and established users expand into new applications. This market presence indicates a significant user base and marks the transition of USCOM technology from validation phase to early global adoption, and positions us well for the growth opportunities our new global sales team offers.

Slide 10:

Science remains central to our opportunity, and publications and presentations from around the world continue to endorse USCOM technology. There are now over 135 USCOM publications in total, with 17 papers and 29 articles published this reporting year alone. This evidence builds the academic foundation for adoption, and supports our claims for reimbursement worldwide.

Slide 11:

Importantly we now have standards of care statements in 6 major applications for USCOM including use of fluids, ICU/PAC, Pediatric sepsis, Organ procurement, Liver transplantation and Pacemakers. This evidence suggests that, if fully eploited, USCOM has the opportunity to improve medical practice across a wide range of clinical disciplines.

Slide 12:

One of the most common interventions in critical care medicine is transfusion of fluid, yet management of this procedure remains controversial and often ineffectivel. This publication from the University of Washington found that

Uscom Limited ABN 35 091 028 090 Level 7, 10 Loftus Street Sydney NSW 2000 Australia T +612 9247 4144 F +612 9247 8157 www.uscom.com.au

==> picture [114 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

USCOM was twice as effective for determining appropriate fluid management as the current invasive method, and recommended routine use of USCOM when administering fluid. This study alone has the potential to change ICU and ED care, improving patient outcomes and reducing total fluid transfusions worldwide by a half and saving vital health care dollars.

Slide 13:

USCOM now has publications in nearly 20 separate clinical applications, many of which are discrete markets and it is from these new applications that will emerge the future incremental growth opportunities for our Company.

Slide 14:

Uscom continues to build IP and now holds 24 patent applications, and 18 granted patents in 11 different applications, with 2 new patents last reporting year. IP provides the platform from which new products and devices can be developed and represents shareholder value not accounted for in balance sheets.

Slide 15:

Having established high levels of scientific credibility and put in place global marketing access, the opportunities for the year ahead are considerable. Our priority is to focus on driving the organic growth of the ”in hospital” market by supporting and promoting our global marketing partners. This year we also intend to focus on the opportunities provided by the many undeveloped market sectors in which USCOM has proven application but no representation. These incremental business opportunities will be developed through new multi-sector marketing partnerships and will generate new revenue streams in the years to come as Uscom applications are developed in Electrophysiology, Heart Failure and Hypertension, and Drug and Medical research and a constellation of smaller niche markets.

Slide 16:

The year ahead for Uscom looks bright and characterised by rapid growth, however there are risks in these projections. For this year the US recovery remains unpredictable, and while we are confident of our customer support, the time from order to receipt may be slower than anticipated. Additionally the opportunity for new sector partnerships may be damped as the global majors consolidate their balance sheets as they emerge from the GFC.

On the other hand USCOM is well resourced with a rapidly increasing cash flow, and will benefit from the improving global financial outlook as world economies recover from the GFC. There is also developing an increasing body of proof of the medical usefullness of USCOM combined with a global shift to cost-effectiveness analysis which will result in our technology being recognised as an emerging standard of care. We are well positioned for significant organic growth from our Spacelabs, Pacific Medical Systems and LEA partnerships. Additionally there also exist opportunities for incremental revenue growth with partnerships in market sectors such as Electrophysiology, Heart Failure, Hypertension and drug monitoring and evaluation.

Slide 17:

2009 has been a year in which our committed and focused approach to strategy and management has shifted our business significantly. For 2010 we will continue this disciplined and focused approach as we continue to develop the USCOM science and consolidate the established market opportunities in a challenging global economic environment. We will also explore and develop any incremental growth opportunities in unexploited clinical applications.

This remains an exciting time for our Company. We are well positioned for rapid growth in the near future, with an abundance of strategic opportunity and I look forward to the the year ahead and thank shareholders for their on going support.

Slide 18:

I would now like to introduce my colleague, Mr Paul Butler to present the Chief Executive’s report.

Slide 19:

Thank you Rob. I will now provide you with a Review of Uscom’s Operations. Last Financial Year was a very positive one for Uscom with the achievement of significant goals and objectives.

This was reflected in the growth in revenue up to $1.6M from $0.96M the previous year. Pleasingly we were able to reduce our cost base at the same time, $3.1M down from $3.5M. Key factors that drove these results were, our partnership with Spacelabs Healthcare (SLHC) which contributed significantly to our revenue position and reducing employment expenses in specific areas which helped keep cash consumption to a minimum. Whilst doing this we focussed resources on achieving a partnership agreement and continued our marketing presence at the key conferences. We continued to look at ways that we could improve our product. This included training and education as well as product features that improved the match with customer needs.

Slide 20:

These are strategies that management have been putting in place over the last 3 years and in aggregate have resulted in solid improvement in overall financials.

Slide 21:

At last years AGM we stated that we were committed to achieving a strategic distribution agreement in the North American market that would allow Uscom to proceed towards profitability. We were successful in achieving this relationship and we are now working very closely with SLHC to achieve mutual commercial success from the deal.

SLHC are a developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment and services, the USCOM 1A is a very

good fit into their product offering. Uscom has partnered with SLHC in North and South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, India and Australia for the in hospital market.

In addition to the distribution arrangement with SLHC we also completed a share placement with their parent company, NASDAQ listed OSI Systems. This is indicative of the support for the Uscom opportunity that exists through the entire organisation.

Slide 22:

Through ongoing market activity, cash control and our partnership with SLHC, Uscom is progressing. Revenue is increasing and we are requiring less cash to achieve this growth.

Slide 23:

Some other business milestones last financial year included; a renewed distribution agreement with our partner in Asia, Pacific Medical Systems. Granting of a US patent for our Oxycom and Echoscope products, which will help us leverage into additional markets. The Global launch of the Spacelabs USCOM throughout the SLHC distribution channel.

Slide 24:

We are now growing to support SLHC to ensure that we achieve success in the marketplace through this partnership. Cash as at the end of September 2009 was $1.5M and we have subsequently raised an additional $1.1M through the Share Purchase Plan (SPP). I would like to thank shareholders for their participation in the SPP and their ongoing support.

Slide 25:

As mentioned the SPP raised $1.13M which will be used to advance the marketing of the USCOM 1A through our distribution partners. We will also be able to more actively pursue market opportunities in key growth markets such as Electrophysiology and Hypertension. Work in these areas has

commenced and we are well supported by patented IP in some of these areas.

Slide 26:

The technology group has kept the USCOM 1A current and have investigated and developed improvement pathways to move us towards the next generation of products.

They are working on a connectivity project with SLHC which will allow the USCOM 1A to communicate with their management software. They are also developing the hardware to improve manufacturability, reduce cost and address new market opportunities.

Our clinical marketing team are continuing to work with Key Opinion Leaders (KOL’s) to promote the utility of the USCOM 1A and to improve education and training materials. The breadth of training materials that we have developed was well utilised during the launch of the product through the SLHC sales channels and in bringing on additional clinical support specialists across the USA. We now have a team of 5 per diem clinical specialists who support sales and training activities with SLHC. We are looking to expand this further over the coming months.

Slide 27:

In addition to having a marketing presence at the major conferences we are initiating market research to better define new market opportunities. In conjunction with developing partnership opportunities in these markets, namely electrophysiology and hypertension we work closely with our distribution partners and are able to have KOL’s support our product with potential end users. We are building our resource to drive these relationships in these emerging markets.

Slide 28:

We are now working on multiple strategies to help grow the business; supporting all our distribution channels, with management visits, clinical support and KOL endorsements.

We are building our presence in the USA and researching opportunities in the Electrophysiology and Hypertension Markets.

Our technology group are developing products to meet the identified needs as we develop strategic opportunities for entering these markets.

Slide 29:

As I Stated in our Annual report, our progress last year has positioned us well for growth this year, we will maintain tight control on our cost base whilst providing all necessary support for our partners. As we build revenues through expanded market coverage we will be able to increase our efforts in identifying and developing additional market opportunities.

I will now hand back to Rob.
