ASX Media Release

Business Review

Following consolidation of the Thor operations the quarterly results for Q4 FY 2016 demonstrate a continued growth in annual cash receipts, up 94% to $2.56m from $1.32m in 2015, this follows a 60% YOY CAGR growth in customer receipts since 2013. Net operating cash inflow for the quarter was $2.31m, while the cash on hand at the end of the period was up 440% YOY to $2.84m following a private placement for $2.32m. Net operating cash outflow was $1.3m for the year reflecting both nonrecurring costs associated with the Thor acquisition and increased operating costs associated with international auditing and compliance, and increased staff and R&D costs to prepare the two new Uscom product suites, BP+ and SpiroSonic series, for market early in FY 2017.

The development of world leading devices takes time and money. Uscom’s development program has resulted in it now owning three separate cardiovascular pulmonary device series. The increase in sales revenue in 2016 reflects the increase in sales of the Company’s first cardiovascular pulmonary device, USCOM 1A. Sales of USCOM 1A are continuing to grow. Uscom’s two other cardiovascular pulmonary device series, the BP+ and SpiroSonic devices, will be marketed and distributed globally are expected to deliver two totally new revenue streams commencing in the current income year.

The creation of the CIIC Shanghai relationship (announced 16 June 2016) is transformational for Uscom. The relationship targets sales of $65m of Uscom devices into China over the next 5 years. Management are continuing discussions with potential partners of scale across the European and US market for the marketing of USCOM 1A, the BP+ and SpiroSonic devices. The Company maintains its strategy of increasing distribution to drive sales and revenue, and currently manages 44 distributor agreements for Uscom products worldwide.

Executive Chairman of Uscom, Associate Professor Rob Phillips said “ Uscom continues to exceed its financial milestones and is now at an operational inflection point as we target sustainable profitability; reporting a compound average growth rate in sales receipts of approximately 63% for the last three consecutive years. We have cash on hand and are debt free despite having met the non recurring costs associated with the successful acquisition and integration of two international medical device companies over the last 3 years, both of which bring sector leading technologies to Uscom and are poised to generate significant and lasting additional revenue and profit for Uscom in FY 2017.

The growth of our Budapest based manufacturing centre provides us with a solution for the transition to cost effective volume manufacturing to meet the anticipated demand from the Chinese, European and USA markets.

Our next steps are to deliver these new devices to market, grow sales volumes, rationalise global operations and manufacturing, and optimise profitability.

Uscom management is focused on becoming a multi-technology, rapid growth, milestone driven, international medical device company selling a sophisticated and profitable suite of non-invasive, sector leading technologies into world medical markets. Uscom management continues to focus on active growth strategies and optimising shareholder value, with a view to wider global expansion.”
