Cash flow performance

The Company recorded a net cash inflow of $205K for the period. Net operating cash outflow was $43K compared to a cash inflow from Q4 FY17 of $303K. This was largely due to only receiving the $225K R&D Tax Incentive after 30 June and increased one-off costs associated with the sale of Realtors8. Quarterly and Full Year cash receipts rose by 14% and 5% respectively compared to the same period last year.

The cash position increased from $329K to $534K at the end of June 2018. An additional $225K was received for the R&D Tax Incentive on 4 July 2018. 8common also holds $1.53M worth of Cloudaron shares that are available for sale and if required, can be sold.

Expense8

The process of converting clients from the original product, which had most clients on an Annual Licence and Maintenance revenue model to Expense8 is nearing completion with only a handful of clients left on the old payment model. The new Expense8 revenue model is based on a combination of monthly platform, per account and transaction fees. The increase in Corporate Credit Card spend (i.e. number of transactions) has had a direct positive impact. Expense8 Q4 and FY2018 cash receipts were $908K and $2.82M, up 31% and 16% on a year on year basis.
