Acquisition of Occupational Health Business

Ultrasis announces Acquisition of Occupational Health Business.

Ultrasis the provider of healthcare and wellness services is pleased to announce that it has acquired the business and assets of an Occupational Health and Travel Clinic located in Waterloo, London for a nominal consideration. The Clinic, which was previously owned by Abermed Limited, comes with an annual income of £700,000 from contracts with self-pay clients and is currently generating a small profit. The assets transferred to Ultrasis have a nominal value attached to them.

The Clinic, which will now be known as 'Waterloo Health Clinic', provides a range of Occupational Health, Travel Advice and Vaccination Service and Employment Related Medicals.

"In line with our stated strategy, this acquisition presents an ideal opportunity to further increase the range of services that Ultrasis provides and creates a footprint within Occupational Health, a new but complementary market for the company. It also offers us the opportunity to look at new ways to promote our range of products and services directly to consumers through a 'High Street' presence" says Ultrasis Chief Executive John Smith.

He added "Abermed were looking for a suitable healthcare company to take on the management and delivery of the services and have given a four year commitment to maintain contracts at the current levels; this gives us a very solid basis on which to grow the business further and look at synergies with our recently acquired Wellness business, Screenetics. The Board are delighted to welcome the Medical, Nursing, Management and Administrative Staff to the Ultrasis Group."

Public Sector contract win and additional funding

Ultrasis the provider of healthcare and wellness services is pleased to announce that it has secured a major three year public sector contract (the "New Contract") through its recently acquired Screenetics business. The detailed terms of the New Contract are deemed confidential due to the nature of the contract but the following material details can be released:

Outline terms of the New Contract:

· The contract term is for a minimum of 3 years
· The Board expects the New Contract to involve the assessment of over 80,000 people over the 3 year period
· There is no minimum contract value although the Board believes the potential value to Ultrasis to be in excess of £8,000,000 over the term of the New Contract
· The Board expect the New Contract to generate income to the Ultrasis group from July 2014
· The services to be provided by Ultrasis under the New Contract will be delivered initially from 10 locations in England
· Subject to certain conditions, the New Contract has the potential for volume to be increased during the term and extended by a further year
· The New Contract requires Ultrasis to deliver its services to a very specific timescale, quality standards and outcomes

Additional Funding

This substantial New Contract also requires additional working capital to fund the establishment of significant infrastructure during the set-up period and to ensure that employees are delivering to an established quality framework. The Company's largest shareholder, Paul Bell, who holds 22.2% of the issued ordinary share capital, has today signed a non-transferable £450,000 convertible debt facility (the "Convertible Debt Facility" or "CDF"), the terms of which are:

· the CDF (to the extent drawn down) together with a premium of 100% of the amount drawn down, will be convertible into Ordinary Shares (either in full or in tranches), at any time at Mr Bell's request at a price per ordinary share in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Share") equal to 1.03 pence, being the mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on the business day immediately preceding the entering into of the CDF
· the CDF has a 0% coupon
· the CDF is unsecured
· the CDF is for a fixed terms of two years
· any amount drawn down under the CDF which remains unconverted at the end of the term is repayable at a 10% premium
· any conversion of the CDF will be subject to Mr Bell not being able to increase his percentage holding in the Company (on a fully diluted basis) beyond 29.9% if such conversion would trigger a mandatory offer under the provisions of the Takeover Code.

In addition, Mr Bell has agreed that all amounts of interest owing to him (or which become owed to him) under existing other loan facilities he has with the Company will be rolled up into the principal amount of those loans in order to reduce the short term cash working capital requirements of the Company during the periods whilst those loans remain outstanding.

Board Changes and Financing Update

The Company announces that Gerald Malone and Michael Mills, who have been non-executive directors for 14 and 11 years respectively, have resigned with immediate effect. The Board thanks them for their years of service and valuable input.

John Smith, CEO, will become interim Executive Chairman following Gerald Malone's departure and the Company will now seek an alternative Chairman and non-executive director to provide an appropriate board structure.

As initially announced on 29 January 2013, the Company has loan facilities in place with Paul Bell, a substantial shareholder in the Company, of which approximately £700,000 was undrawn at the end of September 2014. Under the terms of the loan facilities, the Company is entitled to draw down funds to a maximum amount of £1 million in any rolling 12 month period, a limit the Company has already reached, However, Mr. Bell has recently written to the Company stating that he is prepared to continue to consider on-going requests for draw-downs under the loan facilities which are in excess of the rolling limit, subject to, inter alia, a review of the Company's short and medium term working capital requirements and the Board seeking cancellation of the Company's shares to trading on AIM.

Consequently, the Board intends shortly to send a circular to shareholders seeking the cancellation of the Company's shares to trading on AIM. Further announcements will be made in due course.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that Gerald Malone have something to do with that fiasco of a company we all came to love as Meldex ?

My Million shares all gone after a couple of extra trades yesterday morning - bought @0.07p and sold @0.177p - still ended up @50% down on total holding.

Hiram Abif - 08 Oct 2014 11:22 - 1484 of 1525

Even if ULT is delisted from AIM, viablity of the business is paramount to maintain asset value of the company and the key shareholder seems to want the company to continue, or be sold off to clawback his investment - allegedly!

Recent RNS from ULT say they are heading to profitability possibly next year, especially with the continuance of the rolling loan facility, so should be corporately viable considering the international 'ramp-up' of mental health treatment services.

Also looks like vast amounts of shares are being 'mopped-up' at give-away low prices by someone!!

I'm sure that the FSA will monitor how ULT is transcending this difficult situation, especially from the point of the ULT 60 employees.

I have decided to hold / average up my holding for the same £-stake, and would not be surprised if it works out OK for all shareholders in the end.

DYOR, as this is not advice or meant as defamatory to any party.

Good luck Hiram - as you can see from the thread, I've been a long term holder - in fact I still have a few in certificate form from the 1990's from the mid 30ps from memory - it may well all turn out well in then end, but I finally lost patience.
