Interim Financial Report
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors present the financial report of Uscom Ltd and its controlled entity for the half-year ended 31 December 2014.
Directors
The names of directors who held office during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report are:
Dr Rob Phillips Ms Sheena Jack Mr Christian Bernecker
Review of operations
Uscom Ltd results for the first half of financial year 2015 demonstrate:
-
revenue from ordinary activities increased from $387k to $957k, up 147%
-
sales revenue increased from $372k to $835k, up 125%
-
operating expenses from ordinary activities of $1,308k
-
net operating losses were reduced 40% from $649k in 2014 to $391k
-
cash held at the end of December 2014 by the consolidated entity was $1.002m
The operational results reported in the Appendix 4D reflect the consolidated entity’s strategic focus on distribution, sales and revenue and confirm our approaching profitability. Uscom has focused on growing the number of feet on the ground selling Uscom products and improving their training, and this has been rewarded with revenue. At the other end of operations Uscom has focused on complying with the increasingly complex regulatory processes in multiple global jurisdictions to ensure a reliable stream of high quality technologies into global markets, both now and in the future. This combined strategy has resulted in more regions in which to sell and more distributors willing to sell, and in triple digit growth of sales and revenues.
The consolidated entity’s principal objectives are now to continue with this “distribution, sales and revenue” strategy and to prepare alternative volume manufacturing opportunities to ensure uninterrupted stream of product to our rapidly growing distribution channels.
In conjunction with this strategy we intend to continue discussions with distributors of scale and reach so that we can incrementally expand our product penetration in current and new markets.
Uscom is also focused on incremental growth opportunities and is constantly reviewing and discussing potential acquisition targets which hold new products which are scientifically innovative and complementary to our current technologies, and which will provide revenue growth and operational synergies.
In summary, the first half of financial year 2015 saw the manufacture and preliminary marketing of the Uscom BP+ and the expansion of the USCOM 1A distribution. Our distributors are growing both in number and in effectiveness as the excellent science of our technologies receives additional endorsement from practice leaders worldwide and we are approaching profitability with triple digit sales and revenue growth. Our ongoing focus is the expansion of distribution, sales and revenue, the consolidation and exploitation of current products, and the development of new product and growth opportunities to ensure this rapid growth continues.
Uscom owns two world leading devices in the field of cardiovascular monitoring, the USCOM 1A and the Uscom BP+. The consolidated entity is in transition as we begin to capitalise on these technologies and establish Uscom as a successful and profitable global entity.
Uscom is continuing to execute its strategy as developed by Management and the Board. The Directors believe this strategy will continue to grow the consolidated entity and allow us to achieve profit projections and grow shareholder value off the back of increasing global clinical endorsement.
The Board and Management are confident that should the currently reported triple digit growth of sales and revenue continue the company will rapidly achieve profitability.

Selected Explanatory Notes to the Financial Statements For the half year ended 31 December 2014
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies
The half-year consolidated financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2015. This half-year consolidated financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 and is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. This is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
Accordingly, it is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Uscom Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these accounting standards and interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going Concern
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $391,307 (2013: $649,072) and incurred operating cash outflows of $552,190 (2013: $803,465) during the period ended 31 December 2014, and had $1,002,196 cash on hand as at 31 December 2014.
The consolidated entity's forecasts and projections for the next twelve months take account of the current operational status and future trading performance and indicate that in the directors' opinion the consolidated entity will be able to operate as a going concern.
The first half of financial year 2015 saw the appointment of a global distribution and sales manager, and the signing of additional distribution deals and the appointment of the additional distributors. The revenue benefits from these additional distribution agreements should become evident in the next 6 months.
Management is confident of success with the current strategy of expanding and growing distribution. However, the timing of revenue and sales volumes expected from current and new operations may vary from those forecast by management, and this may generate uncertainty as to the timing of operating cash flows. Should the timing of cash flows be significantly different to those forecasts the consolidated entity may need to seek alternative financing options to enable it to settle its liabilities as they fall due.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors are satisfied that adequate plans and strategies have been formulated and will be adopted as required to allow the consolidated entity to have sufficient cash to meet its obligations through to February 2016 (12 months from date on review report). On this basis the financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis.
Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Uscom Limited and its controlled entity
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Uscom Limited and its controlled entity, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Uscom Limited and its controlled entity, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Uscom Limited and its controlled entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Uscom Limited and its controlled entity is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and CorporationsRegulations 2001
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax of $391,307 and incurred net operating cash outflows of $522,190 for the half year ended 31 December 2014.
These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
