Commentary on activities during the quarter ending 31 December 2013
**Operational
Update**
-
On
22
October
2013, Adslot
Marketplace was
launched,
allowing
large
media
buyers
to
purchase premium
advertising
inventory
directly
from
a
selection
of
Adslot’s
premium
publisher
clients. -
Although
significant
trades
have
already
been
captured
via
the Adslot
Marketplace ,
the
Company maintains
previous
guidance
that
it
expects
it
will
take
two
quarters
to
drive
meaningful
agency adoption.
The Adslot
Marketplace is
now
being
actively
marketed
to
media
agencies
throughout the
world. -
The
company
continues
to
sign
large,
premium
publishers
in
the
United
States,
Europe
and
the Asia
Pacific
region,
including
multi-‐market
contracts
with
some
of
the
world’s
largest
publishing groups
such
as
Mail
Online
(Daily
Mail),
BBC,
ESPN
and
IDG. -
The
depth
and
diversity
of
premium
inventory
available
via
Adslot
continues
to
grow,
with
the signing
of
additional
premium
publishers.
New
publishers
signed
in
the
December
quarter represent
over
2
billion
page
impressions
per
month,
and
include
the
likes
of
MorningStar,
Metro (UK),
BBC
(UK),
news.net,
Al
Jazeera
USA,
Zoopla,
Property
Pal
and
Diversity
Advertising.
**Facilitate
Acquisition**
-
On
23
December
2013,
the
acquisition
of
Facilitate
Digital
Holdings
Ltd
via
scheme
of
arrangement was
completed.
Facilitate
Digital
is
now
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
Adslot
Limited. -
Integration
of
the
two
organisations
has
commenced,
including:othe
merging
of
teams
under
a
single
organisational
structureointegration
of
the Adslot and Symphony products -
Integration
of
the Symphony and Adslot products
throughout
2014
will
allow
large
agency
buyers who
are
collectively
spending
over
$1
Billion
per
annum
via
the Symphony platform,
to
access Adslot publisher
inventory
via
the
same
product. -
Through
calendar
year
2014,
online
advertising
spend
executed
via Symphony is
expected
to increase
to
nearly
$2
Billion
per
annum.
This
is
due
to: -
the
recent
signing
of Omnicom -‐
world’s
second
largest
media
agency
group
-‐
to
a
multi-‐ market Symphony contract
(as
announced
on
19
December
2013);
and -
scheduled
new
market
deployments
under
existing Symphony contracts.
- See
chapter
19
for
defined
terms.

**Cash
Position**
-
Cash
for
the
quarter
increased
by
$795k
to
$8.33million. -
Receipts
from
customers
for
the
quarter
were
$912k
up
from
$865k
from
the
prior
quarter. -
Costs
were
at
the
low-‐end
of
guidance,
and
included
staff
costs
of
a
one-‐off
non-‐recurring payment
of
$719k
to
the
Adslot
Employee
Share
Trust,
with
funds
used
to
procure
new
shares
in the
Company.
It
was
therefore
cash
neutral
to
the
Company
(see
Note
3,
and
refer
to
items
1.2 and
1.15). -
The
result
for
the
quarter
was
driven
by
a
number
of
one-‐off
inflows
and
outflows
being:oCash
at
bank
of
$496k
acquired
as
a
result
of
the
Facilitate
Scheme
of
Arrangement;oReceipt
of
Adslot
Research
&
Development
incentives
of
$1,060k
relating
to
FY2013;oReceipt
of
Facilitate
Research
&
Development
incentives
of
$1,105k
relating
to
FY2013;
andoPayment
of
$405k
in
costs
relating
to
the
acquisition
of
Facilitate. -
The
normalised
operating
result
for
the
quarter
(excluding
the
four
one-‐offs
listed
above)
was
a cash
outflow
of
$1,461k
(including
8
days
contribution
from
Facilitate),
which
was
beneath
the
low end
of
our
guidance
range
of
an
outflow
of
between
$1.6M
and
$1.8M. -
$532k
in
annualised
cost
synergies
have
already
been
realised
from
the
Facilitate
acquisition. -
We
anticipate
underlying
net
cash
outflows
to
continue
for
the
next
few
quarters.
Significant positive
change
in
cashflows
will
largely
be
determined
by
the
speed,
extent
and
magnitude
of agency
adoption
of
the Adslot
Marketplace in
2014
and
beyond. -
