Before p roceedin g with the Chairman’s Re p ort , I would like to ex p ress m y 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 becoming an influential and profitable global medical device Company. Commitment and persistence remain critical characteristics of our Company, whether it be at a shareholder level, a Board level or staff level.

For Uscom 2010 was disappointing and reflected the effects of the GFC and US healthcare reforms causing a revenue decrease of 47%, while our costs were reduced by 9%. Throughout the year we continued to receive extraordinary scientific endorsement of the USCOM device as we pursued more widespread global adoption. We now have approximately 450 USCOM installations worldwide. In response to the difficult post GFC commercial environment, the Board is now focused on implementing the changes required to transition Uscom from the R&D validation phase to the sales and marketing phase, and today we will define the changes to the Board and management, the Company operations and capital to achieve that outcome.

Uscom is a Com p an y founded on science and this y ear saw the p ublication of 10 p eer review p a p ers and 12 articles and abstracts at international level taking to 173 the total number of USCOM publications.

7

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

USCOM now has 35 validation p ublications describin g results from 69 , 703 measures on 1141 p atients , and demonstrating substantially positive reliability, reproducibility, feasibility, validity and ease of use.

8

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

These studies have also p roven USCOM to be overwhelmin g l y useful and accurate across man y a pp lications. This is the scientific validation we have all funded and which will be the springboard that will propel our renewed marketing drive and the push us towards re-imbursement and profitability.

9

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

As p art of this validation p hase we now have a pp roximatel y 450 USCOM units distributed worldwide ; a solid user base off which to drive global adoption.

10

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

Because of this science Uscom is also g ettin g noticed b y health care bu y in g g rou p s in the US. USCOM was recently voted 3[rd] most likely product to improve patient care and add efficiency to the healthcare delivery process and fulfill a need in the delivery of healthcare by US MedAssets Corporation. MedAssets is a huge buying grouping acting to source new and cost-effective technologies for multiple healthcare institutions. Their size makes them influential and critical to effective marketing in the US, and we are actively pursuing partnerships with this group and others of similar size and reach.

11

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

Uscom continues to build IP and now holds 21 g ranted p atents and 15 applications in the field of cardiovascular physiology and monitoring. Protected IP provides the platform from which new products and devices can be developed and represents shareholder value not accounted for in balance sheets.

12

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

In December 2008 Uscom signed a near global, exclusive distribution deal with Spacelabs USA. The Dow Jones bottomed three months later in March 2009 after falling 54% from its peak.

13

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

The GFC and the subsequent US Healthcare reforms almost froze new capital spending in the US, dramatically impacting our US based global partner Spacelabs, and the global device market. This severely limited the opportunity for the full exploitation of the partnership and resulted in decreased Uscom annual revenues, with the fallout taking until 2010 to reach the Uscom balance sheet.

14

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

This decreased revenue further impacted our net loss after income tax and cash consumption. However it is clear from all graphs the 2010 results are in contrast to historical trend data and we look forward to resuming the trend increases in revenue and the trend decrease of loss and cash consumption.

15

==> picture [792 x 302] intentionally omitted <==

In response to this new global environment the Uscom Board have adopted a revised strategy focusing on sales and business development with negotiations proceeding to appoint a globally experienced executive to the Company. In addition to this appointment we have planned a new distribution strategy to become effective 12[th] December 2010 on expiration of the current Spacelabs agreement. We have elected for a global network of distributor representatives as a more efficient and more certain path to market for the Company. In concert with this changed distribution, we have revised our business model reducing retail pricing, and increasing our transfer price and margins. This will allow, a return to upward revenue trends and anticipated profitability by end 2012. We are continuing our conversations with strategic partners to develop incremental business opportunities in new markets. As part of the new business plan we are currently finalising a $3m capital raising. The Board is confident of a successful outcome from these discussions and shareholders will be notified as soon as they are completed.

16

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

As part of our revised business plan and in preparation for the expiry of the Spacelabs distribution agreement our new approach to distribution involves establishing a global network of distributor representatives. We currently have commitments from or discussions with distributors covering 74% of the USA, 25% of Latin America, 30% of Europe and 50% of Asia Pacific. Consolidating these distributors and developing new distributors which can feasibly be supported is an immediate and on going objective.

17

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

Cash at September 30th 2010 was $0.88m, and we are currently finalising a $3m capital raising to support the roll out of the new distributor network and cover the revenue hiatus the change of distributor models will cause in Q2 and Q3 of FY 2011. With the anticipated uptake in distributor orders in Q4 of FY 2011 there should come an increase in revenue and a decrease in cash consumption, leading to profitability towards the end of FY2012 and more generally in FY 2013.

18

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

We are now working on establishing, developing, and supporting our new network of distributors, with management and training visits, clinical support and are firmly focused on the USA market. We will continue to support a KOL network and develop online education and sales monitoring tools.

19

==> picture [327 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

The Board believe the y have o p timised the commercial tra j ector y of the Com p an y in res p onse to chan g ed global conditions and the year ahead for Uscom looks bright, however there are risks. 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 focusing on rapidly generating cash flow, and will benefit from the improving global financial outlook as world economies recover from the GFC. There is also a developing body of proof of the clinical usefulness 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 global distributor network. Incremental growth opportunities with partnerships in market sectors such as Electrophysiology, Heart Failure, Hypertension and drug monitoring are also currently being evaluated.

==> picture [792 x 302] intentionally omitted <==

Although 2010 was a disappointing year for Uscom, we have achieved a lot. Since listing we have spent approximately $16m solving the risks associated with developing the Uscom technology; we built the device, we attained global regulatory approval, validated the device, achieved global luminary support, achieved standards of care publications in fluid and sepsis management in adults and children, achieved global seed adoption, developed an IP portfolio to support the existing USCOM device and protect a number of new device concepts which represent a new product pathway, and we survived the GFC. We have effectively eliminated the technology risks of new product development. Throughout this process we have been frugal with the companies’ funds. However while this process has been successful, it has been neither trivial nor as rapid as we had hoped and has not yet taken us to sustained profitability. As a company we are now firmly focused on crossing the final hurdle; converting the technology to profitability, and off the back of our revised business model this is anticipated for the end of FY2012.

21

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

FY 2011 will be an exciting year for Uscom as we change the focus of the company to address the challenges of the recovering global economy, and the Board is confident that planned changes to the Uscom management, and to the company operations combined with a capital raising will drive our business towards profitability in FY2012.

22

==> picture [328 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

Uscom remains an important global medical device Company with an emerging gold standard product. Uscom is an excellent company with a debt free balance sheet and significant global opportunity. Our momentum was impeded by the GFC, however we have responded with proposed changes to management, operations and capital to generate a business model with an anticipated profitability towards the end of FY2012.

We thank shareholders for their patience and commitment through what has been an historically unequalled period of market uncertainty and contraction.
