SYDNEY, Australia, Tuesday 31[st] January 2017: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) (the Company or Uscom ) today released its Appendix 4C – Quarterly cash flow report for the period ended 31 December 2016 (the Quarter ). The results disclosed in the attached Appendix 4C are in Australian dollars.
Highlights
For the Quarter, we note the following:
-
Record receipts from customers $0.7M, up 29% on prior quarter ($0.70M from $0.54M)
-
Net operating cash -$0.11M, reduced 84% on prior quarter (-$0.11M from -$0.67M)
-
Cash on hand $1.92M from $2.08M in prior quarter
The Uscom 4C results for the quarter demonstrate record cash receipts of $0.7M, up 29% on the prior quarter. Net operating cash consumption for the period was $0.11M, down 84% from the prior quarter ($0.67M). Cash on hand was $1.92M down from $2.08M, with an additional $1.2M in options outstanding at an exercise price of 25c expiring on 31[st] July, and an R&D grant of $0.49M due in Q3.
Business Review
Business activity for the quarter has been centred on completing the Uscom BP+ and BP+Reporter devices and the Uscom SpiroSonic devices – Flo, Smart, Mobile and Pro, and the SpiroReporter proprietary pulmonary function monitoring software platform. The SpiroSonic devices received CE Mark late in the quarter, and are currently being prepared for sale into our recently expanded European distribution network. The SpiroSonic devices are also being prepared for FDA (USA) and CFDA (China) application. The BP+ devices are following close behind. Marketing collateral for all devices has been developed to support our new distributors and our established distributors expanding to cover the new Uscom devices. We are anticipating all devices to be approved in Europe and USA in the next 6-12 months while for China CFDA the pathway may be slower.
New USCOM 1A distribution arrangements are coming into effect in China as PMS, our long time China distribution partners, and CIIC collaborate to ensure more effective coverage of the China market in preparation for the release of the new BP+ and SpiroSonic product lines.
Uscom CEO Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “Uscom continues to grow and is achieving intermittent cash flow positivity and operational profitability despite spending on development of the new devices. These results allude to the potential scale of the commercial opportunity of the diversified global medical device model we have established. Our global strategy is gaining traction, and our future revenue growth will be underwritten as our new devices are rolled out into global markets over the coming 12 months. While our results remain lumpy, the trend is toward profitability and operating cash surplus, and we anticipate these trends will be enhanced as revenue from our new product suites hit the accounts.”

The Uscom BP+ is a supra-systolic oscillometric central blood pressure monitor which measures blood pressure and blood pressure waveforms at the heart, as well as in the arm, information only previously available using invasive 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. The Uscom BP+ is supported by the proprietary BP+Reporter, an innovative stand alone software solution that provides a digital platform to archive patient examinations, trend measure progress over time, analyse pulse pressure waves and generate a summary report.
Uscom SpiroSonic digital ultrasonic spirometers are high fidelity, digital, pulmonary function testing devices based on multi path ultrasound technology. They are simple and accurate to use and provide research quality pulmonary function testing in small hand held devices that can be used in research, clinical and home care environments.
