Appendix 4C - Quarterly report

Commentary for the quarter ending 30 September 2017

Cash receipts from customers for the September 2017 quarter were $1.79m, down on the previous quarter’s receipts of $2.6m. An underlying driver of the reduction in cash receipts over recent months is attributable to a decrease in media transactions where Adslot bill the cost of the media to the media buyer. As referenced in previous quarters, this trend is expected to continue as the Company focuses sales efforts on larger agencies, the majority of which prefer to retain direct billing relationships with publishers. Publishers direct billing media buyers for media transacted via Adslot does not negatively impact the Company’s revenue.

A further $0.14k not included in the quarterly receipts was received on the first working day of October.

Payments during the quarter of $5.26m were down on last quarter of $5.80m, largely also due to a corresponding reduction in outgoing payments to publishers where Adslot acts as a clearing house for payment. All other cash outflows were at similar levels to previous quarters except for research & development expenditure, which increased by $0.24m and remains within budget levels as per the operating plan.

The net cash used in operating activities for the quarter was $3.44m.

The company notes that increased cash outflows in recent quarters relate to significantly increased investment in product development, sales and marketing as identified in the operating plan associated with the October 2016 capital raising. The company has seen material benefits arising from this increased investment and believes it is now in a position to moderate costs going forward. A cost reduction plan has been identified and is being activated which will realise a 2% reduction in outgoing payments for the current (December) quarter and larger reductions in subsequent periods.

Cash at the end of the September 2017 quarter was $10.8m. Based on R&D expenditure incurred between July 2016 and June 2017, an additional cash inflow of approximately $2.7m is anticipated within the next two to three months.

More information on the Company’s performance is available via the Company’s Trading Update issued earlier today.
