ASX Media Release

Appendix 4D Results and Update

Half Year ended 31 December 2017

SYDNEY, Australia, Wednesday 14[th] February 2018: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) (the Company or Uscom ) today released its Appendix 4D interim financial report and financial results for the half year ended 31 December 2017 (the Half ). The results disclosed in the attached Appendix 4D are in Australian dollars.

Financial Highlights

  • H1 Cash inflows $4.50M

  • H1 Revenue and other income $1.42M (down 25%)

  • H1 Loss $1.08M (up 28%)

  • Q2 Sales up 102% to $0.73M

  • Operating cash consumption of $0.75M (down 8%)

  • Cash on hand $3.49M

Operational Highlights

  • Release of new BP+ and SpiroSonic products

  • CE Mark received for BP+

  • Further progress on CFDA and FDA for BP+ and SpiroSonic

  • Distribution expanded for global sales of BP+ and SpiroSonic devices

  • Beijing-based international bioscience executive and investor takes cornerstone stake in Uscom

H1 sales revenue was impacted by Q1 sales (down 61% on the prior corresponding period (PCP)), secondary to restrained China economic activity prior to the China People’s Congress in late November. However Q2 sales revenue rebounded by 102% from Q1 to $0.73M, with record USCOM 1A orders for 68 units (up 24% on the prior quarterly record of 55). The result was a Net loss for H1 of $1.08M, up 28% from the PCP. This loss was contributed to by one off costs of relocation and fit out of the Uscom Sydney head office in November.

The record Q2 orders were only partially filled during H1, with 31 units remaining undelivered at the end of the period. These units will be delivery and recognised during Q3.

Operating cash consumption for H1 was reduced to $0.75M, down from $0.78M on PCP, while Q2 delivered Uscom’s first cash flow positive quarter.

Management expect revenues, though lumpy, to remain on a continued upward trend as Uscom bridges to consistent cash flow positivity and profitability. This trend should be enhanced as our CFDA and FDA approvals for the BP+ and SpiroSonic devices are received, and China and US revenues are generated.

ASX Media Release

Uscom conducted a placement of new shares during the half, raising $3.02M.

Importantly Mr Stephen Meng, a Beijing-based health care executive and international investor, participated in the capital raising, purchasing new shares amounting to a 9.2% stake in the Company. Mr Meng is the VP and head of Government Relationships and Sales, Marketing and Distribution for Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holding Ltd, a HKD 26 billion listed entity. Mr Meng has since visited Uscom’s new head offices in Sydney and subsequently increased his holding to 16.9%.

At the end of the period the Company held $3.49m in cash, with total equity up 51% to $5.70M.

Executive Chairman of Uscom, Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “Our results were impaired by the Q1 sales in China, but rebounded to record levels again in Q2. Our costs were also increased due to one off expenses associated with relocation and fit-out of Uscom’s new Sydney offices in November. However we now have $3.5M in the bank and had an operating cash flow positive Q2, while being firmly focused on the commercial opportunities in China.

Health is an important developmental metric in China, and they plan to grow GDP spend on health from 5.5% to 12%. However the market is complex and requires a strong and accomplished Chinese partner. Mr Meng brings to Uscom 20years of experience in health regulatory, IP and sales and distribution, he understands the legal, social and political environment of China. Uscom devices are world leaders in cardiac, vascular and pulmonary monitoring, and it is cardiac, vascular and pulmonary diseases which are increasing most rapidly in China. The Uscom strategy is to deliver our sector leading technologies into China and become a leading medical device provider for China for the next decade.

Mr Meng brings capital strength and outstanding corporate management experience to Uscom. He developed and managed a network of more than 3,000 distributors serving more than 10,000 Chinese hospitals for Sihuan, and was an executive Director of the Company for 10 years during its listing in Singapore and HK. We look forward to Mr Meng’s experience and insights contributing positively and substantially to the Company’s future.”

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your directors present the financial report of Uscom Ltd and its controlled entities for the half-year ended 31 December 2017.

Directors

The names of directors who held office during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report are:

Dr Rob Phillips Ms Sheena Jack Mr Christian Bernecker Mr Chao Xiao He

UPDATE

Uscom reported an operating cash flow positive quarter in Q2 of FY 2018. This cash flow positive result was despite a production overhang of 31 units following a record order of USCOM 1A units in Q2. These outstanding orders will be manufactured and delivered in Q3.

Operationally Uscom has been busy during the quarter with a number of important ASX announcements as follows:

-The Uscom BP+ was CE marked approval for sale into European and multiple global jurisdictions.

-Uscom successfully raised $3.03M in capital in the period.

-Uscom limited received GSA listing to sell into the US Government organisations including Federal Government, Veterans Affairs, and some State and Local Government organisations.

-Uscom released the Uscom BP+.

-Uscom developed and released a module providing digital connectivity of the USCOM 1A to remote electronic medical records systems.

-SpiroSonic devices received TGA approval for sale into Australia.

The science of Uscom devices continues to confirm the outstanding clinical utility of the Uscom products, and in the half we released to market a list of more than 30 research publications which support the adoption of Uscom technologies. For medical device company’s sales are ultimately driven by clinical effectiveness and our evidence is the message clinicians send to their peers. Uscom’s mission includes developing, manufacturing and distributing sector leading medical devices that improve global clinical care of hearts, vessels and lungs, and current evidence is proof of this success.

Uscom is actively focusing on increasing the number of worldwide distributors across multiple jurisdictions in anticipation of the release of the BP+ and SpiroSonic devices to market. The BP+ and SpiroSonic devices are currently being reviewed for CFDA and FDA regulatory approval in a process which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Importantly and excitingly for Uscom, Beijing based International Investor and China Biotechnology Executive, Mr Stephen Meng, personally joined the Uscom share register. Mr Meng originally acquired 9.2% of the Company in the December capital raising. Mr Meng has since acquire an additional 10M shares taking him to 16.88%.

Mr Meng brings capital strength and outstanding corporate management experience to Uscom. Mr Meng developed and managed a network of over 3,000 distributors serving over 10,000 Chinese hospitals for Sihuan, and was an

Interim Financial Report

executive Director of the Company for nearly fifteen years during its listing in Singapore and HK, where it currently has a capitalised value of approximately 26B HK. Mr Meng remains Vice President in charge of Government relationships and sales, marketing and distribution, and has specific experience in health regulatory, IP and sales and distribution, and he understands the legal, social and political environment of China. We look forward to Mr Meng’s experience and insights contributing positively and substantially to Uscom’s future.

In summary Uscom continues to drive regulatory approvals into the USA and China. Both markets are potentially transformational for the company and will be the realisation of the strategy of product diversification initiated by the Board and management with the acquisition of PulseCor from New Zealand in 2012, and Thor Laboratories in Budapest in 2015. These new product streams are now being proven in clinical studies to be practice leading supporting their position as potential revenue drivers for Uscom for the next decade. Uscom Board and Management are proud to be in the cusp of releasing all three product streams into the three major global jurisdictions of China, Europe and the USA. It is anticipated that these products will underwrite the continuing growth of the company into 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 2017

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies

The half-year consolidated financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 14 February 2018. 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 2017. This half-year consolidated financial report 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 2017 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 following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.

The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and the impact of its adoption is likely to be minor.

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2016-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15).

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principlesbased model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.

The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and the impact of its adoption is likely to be minor.

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.

The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. Management anticipate that the groups operating lease contracts currently in effect will be impacted in AASB 16, and are currently in the process of determining the effects of the implementation of AASB 16 on the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Uscom Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Uscom Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, 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 then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial 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 the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

Interim Financial Report

==> picture [79 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

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 the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
