Also appointed by Artrya USA Inc. during the quarter were Co-CEOs Jory Tremblay, with 30 years of market assessment and scalability expertise, and Ted Schwab who brings 35 years of health care industry experience.

The lifting of Western Australian COVID-19 travel restrictions allowed international travel for the first time in more than two years and also facilitated previously-restricted interstate travel.

In-person meetings have now been held in the United States with prospective hospital research partners, progressing negotiations to commence clinical research studies. It is anticipated that a contract with the first of these will be signed in Q4FY22.

While in the US, Artrya senior leaders attended the American College of Cardiology ACC22 conference. A major topic at ACC22 was plaque characterisation using CCTA, reinforcing the positioning of Salix as a leading solution assisting in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. In October 2022, the ACC defined

Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography, used by the Artrya Salix product, as the only Class I test with Level A evidence for use as a first-line tool to evaluate patients exhibiting symptoms of coronary artery disease.

Dialogue continued during the quarter with the Food & Drug Administration in progressing Artrya's FDA regulatory application.

Australia

Testing at three Australian pilot sites continued during the quarter. This testing is providing clinical and technical feedback to the Artrya development team and informing ongoing product development.

Further pilots are planned to commence during Q4FY22.

United Kingdom

In March 2022, Artrya successfully completed the second Notified Body BSI audit for the company's UK Conformity Assessment and European CE Mark regulatory processes. This is a further step towards regulatory approvals in these jurisdictions.

Preparations ahead of regulatory approval and subsequent market entry, including economic modelling demonstrating the value of Artrya Salix within the NHS hospital system, were also completed during the quarter.

Product Development

Pilot testing results continued to be incorporated in ongoing product development of Salix Coronary Anatomy.

Calibration and validation of the Salix Coronary Flow (SCF) product, completed in December 2021, will continue in Q4FY22.

Clinical Research & Publication

Research and publication of product performance results provides evidence of the clinical accuracy with which SCA detects and reports coronary artery disease biomarkers.

Research publication abstracts were submitted during Q3FY22 to the US Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, European Society of Cardiology, the Cardiac Society of Australia & New Zealand and The Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Radiologists. Artrya will also be presenting at the Association for Medical Imaging Management conference in Las Vegas in July 2022.

COVID-19

While border closures eased during Q3FY22, enabling travel to re-commence, COVID-19 quarantine and close-contact restrictions hampered sales activity during the quarter.

The evolving COVID environment continues to create uncertainties in the future. However, in the short term we expect the imaging backlog of patients arising from earlier COVID restrictions and potential health complications arising from the coronavirus disease may increase demand for diagnostic support solutions such as Artrya Salix.

Financials

The company's total cash at call and on deposit was $39.9 million as of 31 March 2022. Net operating cash outflow for the quarter was $3.82 million, relating to continued Salix product development, clinical and regulatory expenses, commercialisation, and administration expenses. During the quarter Artrya received cash of $836k from R&D tax credits relating to the 2021 financial year and continued to benefit from the

Federal Government's BMTH 3.0 grant program.

Cash outflows from financing activities include the final transaction costs of the Company's successful capital raising and listing on the ASX in November 2021.
