M A R K E T A N N O U N C E M E N T
Commentary: Cash receipts from customers continued to grow strongly during the period, resulting in a 133% increase compared to the corresponding quarter in FY 2015 and up 105% on the previous quarter. This growth almost exclusively stems from increased USCOM 1A sales.
Cash outflow was reduced from $412k to $345k, despite one off costs preparing the Uscom BP+ and
Thor products for market and an increase in personnel.
Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was up 35% to $1.57m following the $700k payment to purchase
Thor Laboratories and a capital raising totalling $2.14m.
International manufacturing strategies are being implemented to ensure uninterrupted supply of product to meet the anticipated global demand for the Uscom range of devices. The new suites of Uscom BP+ and Uscom BP+Reporter and Thor, now rebranded as Uscom SpiroSonic pulmonary devices, will be brought to market early in 2016.
The reported Appendix 4C for the current period was complicated by extraordinary items;
-
The acquisition of Thor Laboratories and the one off payments of $700k to purchase the business on 1[st] September 2015, and the costs associated with the acquisition
-
Thor operations were integrated in the Uscom accounts and reported as part of the 4C results following purchase on 1[st] September 2015, but only for the single month of September
-
The results of the recent capital raising are also included in the 4C
About Uscom
Uscom Limited (UCM) is an ASX listed innovative medical technology company specialising in development and marketing of premium cardiovascular and pulmonary medical devices. Uscom has three practice leading suites of devices in the field of cardiac, vascular and pulmonary monitoring; the USCOM 1A, Uscom BP+ and the Uscom Thor Spirometers. All Uscom devices are premium quality, and deploy innovative and practice leading technologies with FDA, CE and TGA regulatory approval, and which are currently being marketed into global distribution networks.
The USCOM 1A is a simple to use, cost-effective and non-invasive advanced haemodynamic monitor that measures cardiovascular function, detects irregularities and is used to guide treatment. The USCOM 1A device has major applications in Paediatrics, Emergency, Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia, and is the device of choice for management of adult and paediatric sepsis, hypertension, heart failure and for the guidance of fluid, inotrope and vasoactive cardiovascular therapy.
The Uscom BP+ is a supra systolic oscillometric Central Blood Pressure monitor which measures blood pressure and blood pressure waveforms only previously available using cardiac catheterisation. The Uscom BP+ replaces conventional and more widespread sub systolic blood pressure monitors, and is the emerging standard of care measurement in hypertension, heart failure and vascular health. The Uscom BP+ provides a highly accurate and repeatable measurement of central and brachial blood pressure and pulse pressure waveforms using a familiar upper arm cuff. The BP+ is simple to use and requires no complex training with applications in hypertension, heart failure, intensive care, general practice and home care.
Uscom SpiroSonic pulmonary function monitors are high fidelity, digital, pulmonary function testing devices based on multi-path ultrasound technology. They are simple and accurate to use and provide advanced pulmonary function testing in small hand held devices that can be used in research, clinical and home care environments. The devices are specialised for assessment of COPD and asthma and monitoring pulmonary therapeutic compliance.
