MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
Uscom Released Appendix 4C
Monday, 20 April 2009: Uscom (ASX Code: UCM) today released its Appendix 4C, Quarterly report for entities admitted on the basis of commitments for the quarter ending 31[st] March 2009.
This quarter saw a cash outflow of just over $800k. The ramp up in inventory and support required for our partnership with Spacelabs Healthcare contributed to this higher than normal outflow. With over $600k in receivables and $1.4M in cash, we are expecting this next quarter to be cash flow neutral and we believe that we are in a strong position going forward.
