Business Review
Quarterly cash results demonstrate continuing trend growth in total cash receipts with 20% YOY growth , and a 36% per year compound growth rate over the prior 4 year ( CAGR ). Total cash receipts totalled $3.52M , up from $2.94M in the prior corresponding period. Net operating cash flows for the year were -$0.96M , and at the end of the period cash on hand was $1.66M .
Monthly and quarterly cash flows for the year were intermittently positive while total cash consumption for the year was slightly increased to $0.96M, despite transitioning our China distribution to a dual path model, and meeting one off cash payments associated with the Thor acquisition ($100k), and the refund of device prepayments to Pioneer to transfer our distribution to CIIC ($136k). This accounted for $236k in non-recurring cash costs.
There were also one off costs to finalise the BP+ and BP+ Reporter devices, as well as rebranding the Thor Spirometers to Uscom SpiroSonic products, with both suites prepared for regulatory submissions for CFDA (China), CE (Europe), and FDA (US). The cost of a CFDA application is in the order of $100k, CE $100k, and FDA $100k for each device.
In addition we received $0.5M tax incentive for R&D developing new concepts, IP and devices, and optimising current devices.
Sales growth was almost entirely from USCOM 1A reflecting an improved China distribution as PMS and Sense Medical settle into the new dual path distribution network, a strategy that is planned to more than double our China reach and establish a national China distribution channel ready to start BP+, BP+ Reporter, and SpiroSonic distribution immediately upon regulatory approval. Some early sales of BP+ were also made to international research institutions.
Uscom Europe (Budapest) grew total cash receipts 13% for the year ($0.62M to $0.70M).
In the last quarter the Company appointed Mr Damien Linnett as Global Sales and Marketing Manager. Damien has a Bachelor of Economics from UQ, and an MBA, and has over 20 years experience selling medical devices with global corporations Datex-Ohmeda, Spacelabs Healthcare and Kinetic Concepts Inc. Damien joins Denise Pater, our Distribution and Sales Manager, as the nucleus of the new Uscom Sales and Marketing Division and they are currently reviewing distribution and sales channels for the USCOM 1A and developing new channels for the BP+ and BP+ Reporter and Spirosonic devices. The establishment of this new division coincides with the transition of Uscom from a product developer to a manufacturer, distributor and seller of practice leading noninvasive cardiovascular and pulmonary medical devices.
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Associate Professor Rob Phillips said “ The Company continues to grow strongly despite the unpredictable global markets with various months and Q3 being cash flow positive. For the year we consumed less than $1M in cash, despite R&D and non-recurring costs in excess of $1M. In a non growth global market, Uscom continued its total cash receipts growth of 36% per annum

ASX MEDIA RELEASE
since 2013, and is continuing to invest in new products and distribution strategies that will ensure future revenue growth. Uscom has acquired and integrated two international medical device companies in the last 4 years, both of which bring sector leading products to Uscom with significant distribution synergies and sales opportunities but which have had attendant integration and product development costs. This has been our investment in the future. The BP+, BP+ Reporter and the SpiroSonic suite of devices are now being released to multiple markets around the globe. Given the high margins of these devices and that Uscom is currently intermittently cash flow positive, the path to profitability is clear. Uscom is now a diversified, multi-technology, fast growth, international medical device company selling sophisticated and profitable suites of noninvasive, sector leading technologies into world medical markets. Uscom management continues to focus on pro-active growth strategies and optimising shareholder value, with a view to wider global expansion.”
