Technology Division – BQT – YG80 Locking Update

  • Sales of our award winning YG80 lock continue to increase, particularly in the US market through the distribution agreement with DormaKaba.

==> picture [266 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

  • A major opportunity for Ava’s BQT Solutions to potentially supply

  • ~100,000 units of our YG80 lock over a five-year period is ongoing.

  • Latest advice to AVA from the conglomerate, is that the End User is still finalising selection of some of the other technologies included in the project. Consequently, finalisation of any agreement is still dependant upon successful quality, performance and integration tests being achieved, and then successful commercial negotiations being completed in due course.

  • The conglomerate continues to strongly affirm that the YG-80 lock is the one and only locking solution being considered for this project.

Technology Division – FFT – India MoD Tranche 1 Update

The total contract value to Ava for this project is estimated at US$11.9m (A$18.0m). More than 400 of the first 600 units (~25% of project) have now been built by Ava’s in-country partner SFO:

  • The first 200 units passed FAT and shipped in late Dec 2019.

  • The second 200 units passed FAT in late Jan 2020 and are awaiting delivery to the End User.

  • The last 200 units of this batch are being built now for completion in March 2020, with FAT and dispatch expected in the same month.

In H1 FY2020, Ava recognised ~ US$1.0m (~A$1.5m) of the order, being ~ US$0.9m (~A$1.3m) as top line sales revenue, and ~ US$0.1m (~A$0.2m) as an income tax credit.

Ava expects that more than half of this project will be recognised as revenue in FY2020.

SFO’s Bank Guarantee to Ava for ~ US$2.1m (~A$3.2m), to cover the 120 days payment terms remains in place. Ava expects additional revenue after the initial 3-year warranty period from a subsequent 7-year spares and maintenance contract, estimated value of US$3.4m (A$5.1m) .
