Corporate Initiatives

Placement to Cornerstone Investor

  • In February 2014 the Company welcomed a strategic new cornerstone investor through an issue of shares to Ample Skill Limited, a Hong Kong based private investment fund, which subscribed for a placement of 2,920,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.15 per share to raise $438,000 for working capital purposes.

Renounceable Rights Issue

  • On 1 July 2014 the company embarked upon an extensive capital restructuring initiative through a renounceable rights offer which allowed existing shareholders the right to purchase one new share per eligible share owned, at an issue price of $0.15 per share. The rights offer was partially underwritten to the value of $2,400,000 by existing WRR investors.

  • On 28 July 2014, following the rights issue, 16,000,000 new Ordinary Shares were issued raising $2,400,000 in capital funds (before costs).

  • The funds raised from the rights issue were sufficient to repay the majority of the Group's interest bearing debt, which has consequently provided a substantial improvement to the Group's balance sheet.

  • The debt repayments included the redemption of the remaining convertible notes not converted of $500,000, the repayment of a shareholder loan of $300,000, repayment of the bank term loan of $275,000 and of US$600,000 of extended supplier credit.

Corporate Update

Repayment / Conversion – Convertible Notes

  • The Company had long standing convertible notes that were high interest. Following the Rights Issue, note holders were invited to either convert to shares or have their notes redeemed by cash.

  • On 25 August 2014 the Company received conversion notices seeking to convert certain convertible notes into ordinary fully paid shares. The Company issued 5,916,658 ordinary fully paid shares, to satisfy the conversion of 29 convertible notes with a total face value of $725,000.

  • On 26 August 2014 the Company redeemed by cash payment, 20 convertible notes on issue for total consideration of $500,000. The Company now has no convertible notes on issue.

Improved Balance sheet

  • Following the Rights Issue and the repayment of convertible notes and other loan facilities the net effect on the balance sheet was an improvement of just over $3.7M.

R & D Grant

  • The Company received $471,395 on 13 June 2014 from the ATO under the Federal Government’s R&D Tax Incentive Scheme. The refund relates to the costs of research and development conducted by the Company in the twelve months to 30 June 2013 (FY13) and profit-wise is amortized against the useful life of the developed product.

  • The company plans to apply for an additional grant for FY’14

Retiring Chairman – Trevor Moyle

  • The Company would like to recognize the support of Trevor Moyle as Chairman over the past two and a half years, transitioning the Company through the major debt restructuring process to the position the Company is in today. Trevor retires from the Board following the AGM and will be replaced by David Dawson who brings a great deal of experience from a private equity background. WRR – Corporate Presentation

Financial Performance – Outlook FY’15

  • The new financial year will provide a new set of challenges for the Company to ensure the continuance of consistently profitable trading performances, however, as at the end of Q1, the year is looking to be in line with the Company’s budget expectations.

  • The increase in the value of the USD will continue to have a positive effect on Revenues and Profit as the majority of Revenues and Cost of Goods expenses are in USD.

  • The Company will still continue to invest heavily in Research and Development as it looks to new product initiatives in the satellite broadband terminal market.

  • A detailed Budget for FY’15 has been prepared and the Group is confident of strong growth in revenues over FY’14. The expected results are particularly supported by:

  • Major savings from the removal of high interest debt facilities

  • The new OEM product developed has committed orders that will be delivered during the FY’15 year in excess of USD4M

  • The emerging performances of SatPhone Shop and Short Burst Data airtime services in Australia are forecast to contribute in excess of $1.8M in revenues in FY’14 with continued growth.

  • Opportunities for growth in key strategic markets in conjunction with Inmarsat & Iridium

  • Growth in Japan, Russia & China following the improvement in regulatory environment

  • Introduction of Pre-paid satellite services into the SatPhoneShop business.

Company Well Positioned For Growth

  • The Core business has stabilized and continues to demonstrate consistent performance from core distributors through the world.

  • Profitability continues to increase through higher margin sales to core distributors in place of higher volume very lower margin deals, particularly in China & Australia.

  • Lowering of the AUD against the USD increases profitability as revenues and product costs are fixed, predominately in USD.

  • Opportunity for exponential growth in revenues from the OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ) product developed by Beam and now selling commercially.

  • The initial OEM product order of US$3M will be fulfilled by end of 2H FY14.

  • Additional US$3M order for the OEM product received and will commence delivery also 2H FY’14.

  • New IsatDock for the new Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 will commence shipping in December.

  • The Introduction of M2M and Prepaid Services into the SatPhoneShop business will provide new recurring revenues for the Company

  • Following the release of the first OEM product there is an increased awareness of the Company’s capabilities as an OEM presenting solid opportunities for growth.

  • Negotiations are currently underway on further OEM development opportunities.
