DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors present the financial report of Uscom Ltd and its controlled entities (referred to hereafter as the ‘Company’ or ‘Consolidated Entity’) for the half-year ended 31 December 2024.
Directors
The names of directors who held office during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report are:
Prof Rob Phillips
Mr Christian Bernecker
Mr Brett Crowley
Mr Xianhui Meng
Results
H1 FY25 results are in-line with those of last year and reflect persistent global market uncertainty. Total revenue was decreased 5% to $1,859,295, while loss for the half was up 32% to $1,188,595.
-
1) China: The signing of a collaborative partnership with Sinopharm in November was an important highlight for Uscom in H1. Sinopharm is China’s biggest distribution platform for health products with an annual revenue of >$120B AUD. However, China remained a market in reform with interruptions to hospital purchasing and distribution pathways limiting normal health related sales activities. The outcome was a reduction in USCOM 1A sales which substantially contributed to the shortfall in our forecast growth for the half. There are early signs that the Chinese market is stabilising as we consolidate the Sinopharm partnership. The reported China H1 revenues are from USCOM 1A sales alone, while the NMPA approval for our BP+ hypertension and vascular health product and the SpiroSonic pulmonary testing devices were received at the end of H1. These newly approved products combined with the Sinopharm partnership is anticipated to begin boosting revenue in H2. China remains Uscom’s number one revenue source and management remain firmly committed to this market. Concurrently we are developing new and updated products and diversifying and expanding into other global markets.
-
2) SE Asia: SE Asia is the world’s fastest growing region and characterised by stable and rapidly growing economies with the Medical Device market alone predicted to grow at 7.5% CAGR over the next 4 years to $16.3B. Uscom SE Asia sales have grown strongly in the last 12 months since we established Uscom SNG as a regional HQ in Singapore and appointed a local sales organisation to manage regional distribution. Our established distributors have been revitalised and new regional distributors appointed. We continue to develop Singapore as our regional distribution hub and strategic centre for growing regional sales.
-
3) Europe: The anticipated upswing in European activities has been hampered by the on-going Russian war and has resulted in less than expected general economic activities and in particular restrained health spending. While European growth is damped it remains a large and sophisticated market and with convenient access via our Budapest manufacturing and sales centre and remains an important commercial focus for Uscom.
-
4) US: US medical sales were down in the half as politics consumed the market. The new US Government is committed to significantly cut healthcare services, making predicting future sales exceedingly difficult. Additionally, US regulatory is becoming more trade defensive contributing to further market uncertainty. We remain committed to the world’s largest medical device market but with a less ambitious target as we await the outcome of implementation of recent policies. Uscom

Interim Financial Report
products are world leaders in cardiovascular and pulmonary monitoring while the US has the world leading incidences of many diseases in these categories.
Risks
An aggressive new Government in the US poses the threat of significant local and global trade instability, making long term prediction of markets and investment difficult. Trade in particular is a target of the new US Government with a particular focus on China, but including Europe, Mexico and Canada, while the impacts of tariffs may significantly impact the domestic US economy. The momentum for decoupling is increasing and poses a significant risk for global economic growth which could impact Uscom.
The Russian war and multiple emerging regional conflicts may also potentially impact global economies which may impact Uscom’s markets and growth trend.
Global instability is likely to increase, impacting markets worldwide with the potential to induce a global recession effecting all businesses including Uscom.
Summary
Uscom’s results for H1 FY25 are in line with results from last year, and while not as robust as predicted did reflect major disruptions in all major markets – US, Europe and China. While China’s growth has now stabilised and warming for recovery, the US and Europe both remain anaemic and uncertain. Uscom continues its global expansion developing new products and technologies and refining their already sector leading cardiovascular and pulmonary monitoring devices. This product expansion has also been accompanied by significant international partnerships as the market recognises the technologic innovations Uscom has created in cardiovascular and pulmonary monitoring devices. These partners, combined with new and improved products will drive sales and support the operational targets for Uscom.
While Uscom management is aware of the soft predictions for global growth we remain bullish on the growth prospects of Uscom products that we have created; we are world leaders in the specialised sector of cardiovascular and pulmonary medical technology. During the recent 4 years of market disturbance Uscom has invested in a strategy for short, mid and long-term growth based on an expanding international footprint and a target of achieving global scale and strong profitability.
While global uncertainty is the certainty for the coming year, Uscom has established a business with multiple regional HQs, an expanded product range, earnings in different currencies and an expanding list of influential partners, all of which will act to mitigate against the threats of volatile global markets inhibiting Uscom’s success.
While fundamentals drive daily activities, Uscom management continue developing discussions and strategies which will transform the company and capture the shareholder value of our world leading medical technologies; technologies which are continuing to shape improved clinical care worldwide.

Interim Financial Report
Uscom Limited and its controlled entities Selected Explanatory Notes to the Financial Statements For the half year ended 31 December 2024
Note 1 – Material accounting policy information
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. The financial report covers the Consolidated Entity of Uscom Ltd and its Controlled Entities. Uscom Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 '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'. This report was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2025.
This half-year financial report does not include all the notes 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 cash flows of the Consolidated Entity as the annual financial report.
Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public announcements made by the Company in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under ASX listing rules.
Going concern
The Company incurred an operating cash outflow of $1,193,959 during the half year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: outflow $848,231). The total comprehensive loss for the half year ended 31 December 2024 was $1,238,155 (2023: $951,858) and the cash on hand as at 31 December 2024 was $2,164,736 (2023: $3,181,556). A short-term loan of $1,019,038 (2023: $2,004,868) from Director is also due by June 2025.
The Company’s forecasts and projections for the next twelve months take into account the current status, operational changes and projected future trading performance, and indicate that, in the directors’ opinion, the Company will be able to operate as going concern. The timing and sales volumes may vary from those forecasts by management, however, this forecast of cash flow is reliant upon the successful securement of various large customer contracts which have not been secured by the time of this report. This condition indicates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such the timing of operating cash flows may differ to those forecasts by management. Should the timing of operating cash flow be significantly different to those forecast, the Company may need to seek director’s continuing support of operational cash needs beyond the next 12 months by extending the loan payment terms or alternative financing to enable it to settle its liabilities as they fall due.
Notwithstanding the above, the Directors have historically been providing loans to support possible unforeseen operational variations and also have been successful in obtaining financing through equity raises and are actively managing the expenditure of the company to ensure that cash is maintained whilst executing the strategy and are confident that should the need arise further funding can be raised through either debt or equity.
Should the company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amount or the amount of liabilities that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

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 2024, 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 ended on that date, material accounting policy information 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 accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
i. Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
ii. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s
BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of A.C.N. 050 110 275 Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and A.C.N. 050 110 275 Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibility of the directors for the 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 true and fair and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 2024 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
