TRUSCREEN SIGNIFICANT SALES INCREASE, REDUCED LOSS IN HALF YEAR


Cervical cancer technology company, TruScreen Limited (NZAX:TRU), announced its preliminary

unaudited financial results for the six months to 30 September 2018.

The Company reported a 519% increase in sales compared to the corresponding period last year and

a significantly reduced loss from the corresponding period in the prior year and the previous six

months. TruScreen is benefitting from increasing demand in China, new distribution agreements

leading to an expanded global presence and growing adoption by public and private healthcare

providers.

Total revenue was $2.2m, comprising sales of $1.4m and other income of $0.8m, being grants for

research & development $0.5m and an unrealised foreign exchange gain of $0.3m.

Net operating cashflow outflow was $0.8m, a significant improvement over prior periods attributable

to receipts from sales and research & development grants.

TruScreen reports a net loss of $1.15m for the six months, a significant improvement on the

corresponding period in 2018 (1H18:$1.8m) and the previous six month period (2H18: $2.4m).

Unrealised foreign exchange gain was $0.3m compared with a foreign exchange loss of ($.09m) in the

corresponding period.

Gross margins improved to 42% (2H18:22%) following a focus on reducing manufacturing costs. A

review is currently underway to reduce overheads.

As at 30 September 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.48m. A well supported

Share Purchase Plan raised $1.56m in October 2018, increasing available cash to approximately $2.3m

as at 31 October 2018.

Half Year Commentary

TruScreen has continued to make significant commercial progress in the six months to 30 September

2018.

China remains the Company’s focus with a number of important initiatives commenced during the

half year. These have seen TruScreen selected for major screening programmes and for installation in

both public and private hospitals and clinics. Hospitals in the public sector are expected to use an

average of 150 Single Use Sensors (SUS) per month. This compares with some of TruScreen’s

customers who are now using over 1,000 SUS per month.

The company is also making good progress in other markets. Africa and India, in particular, have been

identified as offering major opportunities for TruScreen, with a large addressable market of women

of screening age and limited healthcare resources and infrastructure relative to population size.

In Africa TruScreen was selected by the National Aids Council of Zimbabwe for a pilot program to

screen HIV affected women, who are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer than other women.



In East and Southern Africa there are an estimated 10.8 million women (UNAIDS data, 2017) suffering

from HIV, all of whom have an increased need to be screened for cervical cancer.

The drafting of the interim report from the All India Institute of Medical Science has commenced, and

its release in the first quarter of 2019 is expected to provide sales opportunity of TruScreen to the

public sector in India.

The Company’s global presence continues to grow with a new distribution agreement signed for the

Middle East. TruScreen currently has distributors appointed in over 24 countries, which together have

a screening addressable market size exceeding 1 billion women.

TruScreen’s newly commissioned in-house manufacturing facility in Australia, is providing greater

control over the supply and cost of the key optical electrical front end of the TruScreen device. Gross

margin has improved as unit costs decreased. TruScreen is currently working to move additional key

manufacturing processes in-house.

Regulatory and clinical evaluation of TruScreen is an important part of the adoption process. Ongoing

results from the clinical trial at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney indicate that TruScreen is an

important addition to screening capabilities in developing countries. TruScreen also continues to

receive regulatory approval for import and sale in a growing number of countries.

Outlook

The company is making good progress to achieve a number of commercial goals for the 2019 financial

year. Market awareness of the benefits of TruScreen is growing and would lead to increasing adoption

and commercial sales around the world.

Sales growth is expected to continue in the 2H2019, and further improvement in margins as

manufacturing efficiencies are realised.

Highlights for HY19:

• Sales of devices and Single Use Sensors (SUS) tracking well ahead of prior year, with 519%

period on period growth in sales.

• Commissioned new optical electrical front-end manufacturing facility in Sydney.

• Strong demand continues from China and other markets.

• Commenced large scale evaluations in China with The Women’s and Children’s Division of the

Centre for Disease Control; selection as the primary screening tool for up to 50 planned

women’s health clinics; and selected for major programme in Xinjiang Province, which will see

TruScreen installed in 190 hospitals.

• Completed first stage of evaluation with the Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Association, with approval to progress to second stage of the project.

• Gained approval for pilot screening programme in Zimbabwe, with initial $450,000 sale to the

National Aids Council which is running the programme.

• Signed new distribution agreement for the Middle East.

• Supplied devices and SUS for the conduct of a pilot study for the use of TruScreen in regional

and remote locations by the Papua New Guinea government.

• Successful $3.55m capital raise completed in September/October 2018.



Post Period End

Officer for TruScreen

• Began transition to NZX Main Board, with the Company to be relisted on NZX on 17 December

About TruScreen:

Watch the video on TruScreen

TruScreen’s real time cervical cancer technology utilises a digital wand which

is placed on the surface of the cervix to measure electrical and optical signals

from the surrounding tissue. A sophisticated proprietary algorithm

framework distinguishes between normal and abnormal (cancerous and

precancerous) tissue to identify precancerous change, or cervical

intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). A Single Use Sensor (SUS) is used for each

patient to protect against cross-infection.

The consolidated unaudited interim financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except

where otherwise identified.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

When preparing the interim financial statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates

and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other

sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates, judgements

and assumptions made by management. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going

basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and

in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical

judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised

in the financial statements can be found in the previous annual report.

4. ADMINSTRATIVE AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Administrative expenses increased in the six months ended 30 September 2018 compared to the six months

ended 30 September 2017 largely due to costs of introducing new enterprise resource planning systems and

regulatory compliance including identifying and documenting processes to claim all the research and

development tax grant to which the Group is entitled.

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group operates in one operating segment. It owns the rights to the Truscreen Cervical Cancer Screening

System. The system comprises a medical device and process designed to detect the presence in real time of

precancerous and cancerous tissue on the cervix.

The Group is in the process of obtaining further regulatory approvals. On the granting of these approvals

the Group anticipates an increase in distribution and revenue. It is anticipated revenues will be obtained

largely from Asia, Europe, Central and South America. The limited revenues to date have been obtained in

anticipation of these approvals. These revenues were from sales to the Company’s distributors (indirect

channel of distribution).

Two major customers each contributed more than 10% of the Group’s revenue in the six months to 30

September 2018 (2017: three customers):

• One customer provided revenue of $679,034 (52%); and

• One customer provided revenue of $418,507 (32%).

No additional disclosure is required in the interim financial statements as the Group has one reportable

segment.
