ASX MEDIA RELEASE

Appendix 4C

Cash receipts - $0.71M Net operating cash flow - -$0.40M Cash on hand - $3.08M

SYDNEY, Australia, Monday 23[rd] April 2018: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) (the Company or Uscom ) today released its Quarterly cash flow report for the consolidated entity for the period ended 31 March 2018 (the Quarter ) in the attached Appendix 4C in Australian dollars.

Summary

  • Cash receipts from customers $0.71M up 52% on Q2 ($0.47M), down 22% on PCP ($0.91M)

  • Net operating cash outflow -$0.40M increased from +$0.22M in PCP

  • Cash on hand $3.08M decreased 12% on prior , up 45% from $2.13M in PCP

Commentary

The Uscom 4C results for the quarter demonstrate total cash receipts from customer of $0.71M, up 52% from the prior quarter ($0.47M) and down 22% from the PCP ($0.91M). Net operating cash flow for the period was -$0.40M, decreased from the 2017 Q3 of +$0.22M. Cash on hand at the end of the period was $3.08M, up 45% from $2.13M in the prior corresponding period (PCP).

Uscom CEO Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “Sales revenue continues at strong levels despite Q3 including the Chinese and western New Year periods, and we have more than $3M cash in hand. We are continuing to expand our China operations and await CFDA for our 7 new products, and are completing the US FDA regulatory applications. Reported Q3 cash receipts were decreased relative to the PCP as the annual R&D reimbursement of $0.49M was received and accounted for in Q2, while for FY 2017 it was accounted in Q3, making interquartile comparisons difficult. Cash outflow for the period was also impacted by continuing one off regulatory costs. For the quarter ahead spend is estimated to be $1.1M, and this will be offset by Q4 cash receipts ($730k in 2017).

Revenue and costs continue to be lumpy as we complete the regulatory processes and focus on developing our China operations to capitalize on new opportunities associated with the impending BP+ and SpiroSonic CFDA approvals. Once CFDA is received we anticipate a significant boost to revenue and a reduction in one off costs.

As a matter of prudent diversification we have also appointed an additional US salesman, Mr Curt Grosse, who is an experienced cardiovascular device salesperson with a strong and successful US sales history. While the US remains an expensive and complex market we have a large and growing body of US buyer interest and this appointment should unlock some of our USCOM 1A sales and set a foundation for BP+ and SpiroSonic sales once FDA is received.

We have invested wisely in corporate acquisitions and new product developments, and we are now poised for accelerated revenue growth as our new devices come to market, with cash on hand.”
