Appendix 4C Commentary Quarter ended 31 December 2013

Wednesday 29th of January 2014: Uscom ( ASX code: UCM ).

Operations

During the period, the Company signed a AUD$7m, 5 year sales contract into China, scheduled to commence in 2014 and anticipated to more than double current global annual revenue.

Uscom has also recently finalised a three year non-exclusive distribution agreement with Deltex Medical Group plc. This agreement is the subject of a separate announcement released today.

The Company continues to develop the distribution and licensing network for BP+, and expand USCOM distribution to advance the company to profitability.

Quarterly Financials

During the quarter there was a net cash outflow from operating activities of $440,182. The majority of these increased costs were related to one-off capital raising costs, fees associated with the acquisition and integration of Pulsecor, and consultants’ fees to activate the BP+ marketing and manufacturing cycle. Receipts from customers more than doubled from $98.6K in Q1, to $228.5K in Q2.

The Company had approximately $762K at the end of the quarter.
