UPDATE
USCOM 1A sales remain the cornerstone of Uscom growth, and our financials continue to strengthen and approach profitability and cash flow positivity. Continued growth of Uscom sales is anticipated as we expand our distribution and distributor support worldwide, and the fundamental USCOM clinical proposition receives increasing recognition.
We are finalising the preparation of the Uscom BP+ and SpiroSonic devices for market. Our current activities will result in Uscom selling 3 separate product suites in multiple global jurisdictions. This will change the general activities of the company, transforming it from a product development and regulatory organisation to a marketing, distribution and sales driven operation.
Uscom is actively increasing the number and focus of its global distribution team in anticipation of the release of the BP+ and SpiroSonic devices to market.
In China PMS, Uscom’s long standing Chinese partners, will continue to manage and oversee the majority of their current distributors and territories selling USCOM 1A as CIIC come on line. CIIC are signing up new distributors and have ordered their first devices for sale to Chinese distributors. Its envisaged that this collaborative division of territories between PMS and CIIC should provide an expanded coverage of provinces and a more cost effective delivery of education, training and technical support within China, and importantly significantly improve reach and increase sales. All Uscom devices for sale into China will be imported through Uscom’s China office in Shanghai by CIIC. CIIC are exclusive agents for BP+ and SpiroSonic devices in China and will begin sales immediately following CFDA approvals. PMS will also continue their distribution of Uscom devices in S.E. Asia with potential expansion into Japan.
The BP+ and SpiroSonic devices are currently being submitted for CFDA regulatory approval in a process which is of uncertain duration. Both series of devices are also being prepared for FDA approval, a process likely to be completed within 6 months, while the BP+ is being prepared for imminent CE submission.
Uscom is also beginning a shift toward the US market, buoyed by the opportunities that cost effective technologies have to leverage into the US defence and clinical markets where cost constraints are increasingly influencing buying decisions. This will be particularly relevant as the new devices receive FDA approval for sale.
Uscom Europe also received a Euro Grant for development of novel diagnostics for early detection of lung and other forms of cancer using innovative technologies based on its spirometer devices. The grant of A$427k over 3 years ($142k p.a.) will be used to conduct R&D to develop new products which may become part of the future Uscom product pipeline. The first installment of $126k cash was received in H1 but not recognized as revenue within the current accounts. Further R&D grants are in review.
In summary Uscom results for H1 of financial year 2017 have demonstrated strong and continuing growth. Uscom management are preparing the release of two new product suites into global jurisdictions, and it is anticipated that these products will underwrite the continuing growth of the company in the foreseeable future.
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A, the Uscom BP+, and Uscom SpiroSonic digital ultrasonic spirometry technologies. These premium digital devices are changing the way we diagnose and treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, asthma, COPD and sleep disorders. The products

are integral for optimising management of sepsis and guidance of fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies in critical care monitoring, and in clinical and home care delivered asthma and COPD medications.

Selected Explanatory Notes to the Financial Statements For the half year ended 31 December 2016
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies
The half-year consolidated financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 9 February 2017. 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 2016. 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 2016 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.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the consolidated entity’s ability to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorising the financial report for issue.
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.
Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the Consolidated Entity financial report conforms with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Note 8. Business combinations
On 1 September 2015 Uscom Medical Limited, a subsidiary of Uscom Limited, acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Thor Laboratories for the total consideration of $879,106. This is a medical device business based in Hungary. It was acquired to expand and diversify the existing business and leverage the existing distribution channels. For the period from 1 July to 31 December 2016, the acquired business contributed revenues of $325,459 ($255,330 for the period from 1 September to 31 December 2015) and profit after tax of $69,219 ($38,568 for the period from 1 September to 31 December 2015) to the consolidated entity.
An amount of $100,000 was paid on 1 September 2016 as part of the deferred consideration for the acquisition.
The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of deferred consideration for the acquisition, as of its acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquired business. The fair value measurements require, among other things, significant estimation of post-acquisition financial performance of the acquired business. This calculation uses cash flow projections for post-acquisition performance.
Any projected earnout payments are discounted to present value, using a discount rate deemed appropriate by the consolidated entity to account for the time value of money in addition to the inherent risk in the earnout calculation projection. The discount rate used is 10% pre-tax.
Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Uscom Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Uscom Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, 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 2016 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, 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, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
