Quarterly Report at 30[th] September 2019
Customer Receipts up 128%, Cash Receipts up 86%, with Cash on Hand
SYDNEY, Australia, Wednesday 23rd October 2019: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) (the Company or Uscom ) today released its Appendix 4C – Quarterly cash flow report for the period ended 30[th] September 2019 ( The Quarter ). All results in the attached 4C are in Australian dollars and compared with prior corresponding period (pcp).
Highlights
For The Quarter, we note the following:
-
Receipts from customers $0.73m - up 128% on pcp ($0.32m)
-
Total cash receipts $0.82m - up 86% on pcp ($0.44m)
-
Net operating cash outflow of $0.47m - reduced 33% from pcp ($0.70m)
-
Cash on hand $1.83m
-
Results prior to receipt of new regulatory approvals.
-
New Uscom China dealer, sales and revenue models to boost margin and volume.
-
Imminent regulatory approvals.
-
New sales initiatives in Europe and US.
The Uscom 4C for Q1 FY 2019 reports customer receipts of $0.73m, up 128% on pcp, total cash receipts of $0.82m, up 86% on pcp, with net operating cash outflows of $0.47m, reduced 33% from pcp, with $1.83m cash on hand. The total quarterly spend for Q2 is projected to be $1.32m, and to be offset by Q2 cash receipts, which were $1.31m in 2018, suggesting a neutral cash position at mid year if last year’s results are equalled.
Business Review
Customer and cash receipts were up 128% and 86% respectively on the pcp’s as a result of payments received from record Q4 sales of current product offerings, and prior to new revenue from devices with delayed regulatory approvals in China and the US. Cash outflow for the Quarter was reduced 33% to $0.47m despite investment in new staff and operations in preparation for receipt of the new regulatory approvals. Sales for the current quarter were lumpy, possibly related to the record Q4 sales. However the sales pipeline is very healthy with new dealers of scale being inducted and transitioning to active sales. It continues to be a busy time for Uscom as management remain focused on identifying and signing new dealers to expand our regional sales reach in China, Europe and the US. Uscom also continues

ASX MEDIA RELEASE
expanding global systems and operations, and developing new sales and pricing strategies in advance of the impending approvals for our seven new products.
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Professor Rob Phillips said “In a world where growth is at a premium, Uscom continues its growth trajectory. Record Q1 cash and customer receipts continue the global momentum of the Company as our product and operational investments are being prepared to generate a new wave of sales and revenue. This strategy is conceived to accelerate our vision and transform Uscom into a diversified global medical device company of impact. Despite Q1 historically being our most quiet quarter and the global economic environment remaining unpredictable and sales lumpy, our trend growth remains strong, while our new devices, new strategies and new structures, which have been developed over the last five years, are yet to impact results.”
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A, the Uscom BP+, and the Uscom SpiroSonic digital ultrasonic spirometry technologies. These premium digital devices are changing the way we diagnose and treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. The USCOM 1A provides vital guidance for optimising management of sepsis and the administration of fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies in critical care monitoring. The BP+ and SpiroSonic devices improve diagnosis and management of hypertension, heart failure, asthma, COPD and sleep disorders in the clinical and home care environments.
