Commercialisation & Development Activities

Mobile DR Business Unit - Successful RSNA exhibition and building network to deliver sales

During the Quarter, Micro-X was pleased to make its debut as an exhibitor under its own branding at the Radiological Society of North America's 107th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting in Chicago, and to be selected to give formal presentations on its technology. This leading radiology industry conference was an important global launch of Micro-X's brand as an innovative supplier of game-changing radiology products. It was apposite that the theme for RSNA 2021 was 'Redefining Radiology' and Micro-X's showcasing of its innovative technology and its current and future products quickly became known as a booth which all delegates to the conference wished to visit.

Apart from the brand launch, Micro-X's key objective at RSNA was to meet and recruit a large number of new distributors to drive sales volumes of the Mobile DR product range. To this end the team of nine Micro-X sales and management executives held productive meetings with every major multi-nationalx-ray and detector company, a dozen large x-ray systems integrators and over 60 independent distributors from the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. Additionally, the team also gave a large number of product demonstrations with clinicians and potential customers to raise awareness of the practical benefits of such lightweight imaging solutions in day-to-day radiography. In an unprecedented move in the industry, Micro-X unveiled a lifetime warranty on its medical imaging x-ray tubes to emphasise its confidence in the

technical maturity of the new cold-cathode technology, further differentiating the quality, simplicity, reliability and reduced cost-of-ownership of Micro-X's products compared with many conventional mobile x-ray solutions.

The reception at all meetings and from delegates who visited the booth exceeded expectations with many repeat visitors and overwhelmingly positive feedback from radiology and industry experts. Following the conference, the sales team is currently progressing over 20 new distributor arrangements with some contracts already executed and others in negotiation. The RSNA meeting was an important success in positioning Micro-X to build a deeper and more effective international sales network for the Mobile DR range. To ensure minimal delays in meeting anticipated sales orders generated and to reduce freight costs, Micro-X has shipped a substantial number of Mobile DR units to its Seattle distribution centre.

The Micro-X Mobile DR range will soon be enhanced by the launch of the second generation Rover. This is planned to be available for customers during the March quarter pending completion of internal testing and self-certification processes. The next generation mobile DR products will deliver significant extensions of imaging capability with a four-fold increase in x-ray output making it highly suitable for the specialised imaging needs in Emergency Departments, Operating Theatres, and other trauma imaging. The introduction of the in-house designed and manufactured high voltage generator, currently the most expensive component in the Rover, will also deliver strong margin improvement.

Micro-X is also progressing its CE Marking for Rover with its application for accreditation under the new Medical Device Regulations in Europe. This is taking longer than expected due to the high workload with Notified Bodies as medical device manufacturers all over the world are seeking the new accreditation simultaneously. The CE Marking is expected to complete in the March 2022 quarter and this will open up further sales and distribution opportunities in Europe, currently unavailable to us.

X-Ray Camera Business Unit - Pre-commercialisation activities and growing pipeline for 2022 sales

A major focus for the Company is this year's commercial launch of Micro-X's second product line, Argus, the IED X-ray camera, with its much higher selling price and margins. Development of the Argus product is in its final stages with market entry and product launch activities in planning to support customer demonstrations in the June quarter followed by scale up of production and sales.

The technical development work on the IED X-ray camera continued during the Quarter and, despite some supply-chain challenges, is on track for system integration and first imaging this quarter. Concept Demonstration Prototypes are planned to be available for customer demonstrations during the June Quarter with pre-production unit builds commencing in mid-2022. As part of Argus' commercialisation strategy, the Company has begun to pre-emptively build up inventory to support production scale-up so that its sales expectations can be protected from any future supply chain issues.

During the Quarter, Micro-X successfully showcased Argus at the US Bomb Technicians Association's (USBTA) Annual Critical Skills Challenge and Outdoor Technology Trade Show in Florida on 30th November and 1st December 2021. The USBTA is a key industry organisation for training active bomb technicians and for evaluation of emerging and cutting- edge technologies in bomb disposal. The event was well attended by military and police counter IED organisations with the Argus attracting enormous interest from the US Federal Government and State Police bomb squad technicians. A Senior Federal Agency Bomb Technician said to the Micro-X sales team that "This product is what we have been looking for, and waiting for, for years".

This is the third major international security conference at which Micro-X has showcased this game-changing new technology to build product awareness in the industry and amongst potential customers ahead of the product launch. The USBTA conference alone has generated seven formal requests by Federal Law Enforcement agencies, Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams and State Police forces for product demonstrations as soon as the first units are available.

Micro-X has also been invited to provide responses to Requests for Information issued by Australian DoD and UK MoD procurement agencies to inform their respective planned acquisitions of future technology for EOD and counter-IED operations.

Checkpoints Business Unit - 'Missing link' in aviation security and strong interest received

This Quarter the Checkpoints development team, based in Seattle, achieved a number of project milestones in their two contracts with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which delivered $0.4M in receipts.

Commercially, a key highlight for the Checkpoints Business Unit was the successful attendance at the Future Travel Experience (FTE) Conference in Las Vegas between 7th and 9th December 2021. The conference is a major draw for airline and airport managers world-wide and involved over 100 speakers and 55 exhibitors. The Micro-X Miniature CT baggage scanner was on display at the conference and many delegates referred to it as the 'missing link' in passenger- friendly security in airports as it provides an optimal solution to the most challenging and invasive point in the passenger's journey. The DHS contracts with Micro-X Inc. were of great interest to attendees with representatives from a number of airlines and other airports indicating a desire to introduce this technology to transform their passenger experience as soon as possible.

CT Business Unit - Space model of Brain CT Scanner displayed to high acclaim

Development activities on the scanner proceeded as planned during the Quarter. The TV news images of the Micro-X Brain CT in a RFDS aircraft at September's signing of the development funding Project Agreement with the Australian Stroke Alliance have created extraordinary global interest. The Micro-X team showcased the videos and the space model of the future Brain CT Scanner at its RSNA booth. The concept of a CT scanner so small it could fly captured the imagination of many and the exhibit drew crowds of interested delegates each day, impressed by the miniaturisation capability of Micro-X's carbon nanotube technology.

Corporate Activities

The Company's Annual General Meeting was held on 19 November 2021 where Managing Director and CEO, Peter Rowland provided an overview of the Company with its newly implemented organisational structure in business units for each product line.

Micro-X was honoured to receive a request from the Prime Minister, The Hon Scott Morrison, to visit its Tonsley facility in South Australia to view first-hand its globally successful technology and products as an example of the Australian Government's Modern Manufacturing Strategy. The Prime Minister's speech following the tour of the company recognised the Federal Government's funding of the Brain CT scanner and its potential to save lives by revolutionising the way stroke is diagnosed and treated in the future.

Financial Summary & Cashflows

During the Quarter, the Company:

  • built, shipped, and invoiced $0.7 million of Mobile DR units and associated parts;
  • received $0.5 million in customer receipts from sales, $0.4 million from its contracts with DHS and a further $2.1 million from the Federal Government R&D tax rebate;
  • had cash outflows from Operations of $8.18 million, resulting in net operating cash outflows of $5.26 million. These outflows included a major $2 million investment to ramp up inventory of completed Mobile DR units and also long lead time items to overcome supply chain challenges as a result of COVID related issues currently impacting global logistics
  • payments to Directors were $0.14 million, relating to the salary of the Managing Director and fees for Non- Executive Directors;
  • had cash outflows of $0.29 million from Investing Activities, for buying additional equipment;

  • had cash outflows of $0.17 million from Financing Activities, representing the principal component of operating lease repayments as calculated under AASB 1016;
  • had overall net cash outflows of $5.71 million and a cash balance of $19.94 million as at 31 December 2021.

The ramp up in inventory this Quarter will see reduced expenditure on Mobile DR inventory in the coming quarters, especially if supply chain issues stabilise.

Future Outlook

The positive feedback received from attending several highly regarded industry conferences in the US this Quarter was another strong customer endorsement for the Company's innovative technology and product range. Looking forward, the Company's focus will be completing agreements with a number of the new distributors and dealerships engaged from the RSNA meeting and commencing their training and initial stocking for their territories. Completion of the certification for the Rover Mark II in the March 2022 quarter along with European approval for the Rover will also play a vital role in the ramp up of sales volumes throughout 2022.

The second key objective for the first half of 2022 is to complete the technical development of the Argus IED X-ray camera and build pre-launch sales activities to support a successful commercial launch in the second half of the year. The key technical milestones will be the first testing of the new 160kV x-ray tubes in the coming months, ahead of a full systems integration and imaging tests of Concept Demonstration Prototypes in early second quarter 2022. From there a number of these prototypes will be built to enable multiple customers to commence their own trials and for a third party independent validation of the product performance and features.

The third key objective will be to progress the technical development of the Miniature Baggage CT Scanner, which is just over one year away from achievement of a prototype for the DHS.

Micro-X's Managing Director, Peter Rowland, commented:

"We were overwhelmed by the level of interest and positive feedback our products received from the marketplace across two short weeks in December in the US, as it seems many more people have come to recognise the impact our technology and products are making and will make across the healthcare, defence and security industries. At the RSNA Annual Meeting Micro-X made a huge impact and I was proud to hear firsthand the acclaim from so many clinical and radiology industry leaders for what the Micro-X team has achieved. We are all excited for what is to come in 2022, particularly the commercial launch of the world's first IED X-ray camera, Argus, with its much higher selling price and margins. But our immediate priority in 2022 is on converting the strong level of interest we have received into sales momentum and sales revenues."
