ASX MEDIA RELEASE
Uscom CEO Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “Cash receipts and sales revenue continue at strong levels for Q3, despite including the Chinese and western New Year holidays. Costs were increased for Q3 as we met one-off costs of approximately $280K for inventory growth and support of a new USCOM 1A European research project. Further one-off costs include establishment of our new Uscom China and development of a new business unit in China selling consumable medical devices. The revenue from this new unit is expected to impact results over the coming 12 months. We now have an entirely autonomous Uscom China with premises in Beijing which is a registered business in China with certification to sell all type II medical devices, import medical devices directly, employ staff, and transfer funds into and out of China. We now also have an entirely new business unit selling consumables for our devices and that of other manufacturers.
Q3 sales were also impacted by reduced Uscom Kft operations as Budapest manufacturing was relocated to larger premises. This invalidated manufacturing approvals while regulatory records were updated and re-approved, with normal sales expected to resume and growth trends continue during Q4.
Uscom continues to focus on expanding China as receipts and revenues continue to grow, and BP+ and SpiroSonic devices approach NMPA approvals for sale in China. Once NMPA is received we anticipate a upswing in revenue and a reduction in one-off costs. The opportunities remain significant and our growth strategy remains on target.”
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, including hypertension, heart failure, asthma, COPD and sleep disorders. The devices and technologies 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 diagnosis of asthma and COPD, and monitoring the effects of treatment.
