Notable points to assist in reading the Appendix 4C
Cash receipts for the quarter were up 53% on the previous quarter, that as flagged in the September quarterly report primarily reflected the balancing of timing differences of payments received from project services contracts.
Aged payables accrued in previous quarters totalling $154k were cleared and subtracting that figure from the gross payments produces an underlying operational spend for the quarter of $417k and net of cash receipted during the quarter is $250k.
The Company raised $3.459m from the rights issue completed in November 2019 as reported in the Appendix 4C. Further and pursuant to the strategic placement announced on 11 December 2019 the Company has received an amount of $840k (Tranche 1) and is contracted to receive a further $866k (Tranche 2) that the Company anticipates to receive in early March 2020 subject to shareholder approval.

Similarly, the Company continues to increase sales of the temperature monitoring both from staged rollouts with existing customers as well as new customers in the medical sector.
The Company is looking to hire and invest in its operational capabilities on a ‘just-intime’ basis in regard to preparing for the anticipated growth contemplated by the revenue targets set out in the partnership agreements announced 11 December 2019 as well as new contract wins as the existing pipeline prospects move through the sales process.
