Nobel Prize for Medicine

Greg Semenza, Peter Ratcliffe and William Kaelin Jr

  • Professors Greg Semenza, John Ratcliffe and William Kaelin Jr, received the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine

  • How cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. Every cell is an oxygen sensor feeding back to the brain to regulate the supply of oxygen. This effects the body in health and disease, particularly in cancer.

  • The Uscom OxyCOM device was developed specifically for non-invasive measurement of the delivery of oxygen and is leading in this field.

  • A recent paper from Kings College in London and the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, found that Uscom OxyCOM measures of oxygenation predicted paediatric mortality in fluid resistant septic shock. Current studies are determining how to use these measures to direct management to save the lives of sick children.

2020: RISKS

==> picture [100 x 99] intentionally omitted <==

  • ✓ Unpredictable global markets – Trade wars, US recession and health contraction, Brexit, China slow down, Mid-East instability, North Korea etc. potentially create revenue and capital volatility

  • ✓ Scale up stress – Rapid global growth may challenge cash flow management and capital adequacy

  • ✓ Operational changes – Change in sales, operations and manufacturing regulations impact us as we adjust our distribution channels

  • ✓ Distribution – Uscom has revised our global sales strategy as we move to take a more direct role in all our territories using a direct dealer access which may delay revenue during adoption

  • ✓ Regulatory – Regulatory certification is becoming increasingly complex, expensive and time consuming in all jurisdictions

  • ✓ Key personnel – Uscom is dependent on a small and vital team working to ensure and manage ongoing rapid growth

  • ✓ Other risks – Competitor risks and patent breaches are also potential threats

SUMMARY

==> picture [138 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

  • Established 6 year sales growth 29% pa CAGR (358%)

  • Investment - Two corporate acquisitions and global operations

  • Multiple products – USCOM 1A, BP+ and SpiroSonic (8 devices)

  • Multiple jurisdictions – China, Europe, US and Australia

  • Multiple currencies – USD, Eu, AUD, RMB

  • Record Q4, slower Q1, but rapidly increasing pipeline

  • Approaching profitability with growth strategy in difficult global conditions

CONCLUSION

==> picture [116 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

“Uscom has an established growth history, and our rapidly transforming fundamentals provide us with the opportunity to leverage strategic opportunities to prepare Uscom for global growth. Management is committed to developing strategies to optimise capital and shareholder value, and this involves an open minded review of all aspects of partnership, manufacturing, distribution and capital and corporate structure. These strategies will create exciting opportunities for Uscom and its investors.”
