_______________ 2018 Annual General Meeting Address by Chair & Chief Executive Officer Presentation
_______________
Before turning our attention to the first item of business I would like to briefly talk about the effort and activities that your Directors and the Management of DataDot are pursuing to restore shareholder value.
It is important that you understand that we have been very active in our determined efforts.
Yes, I am disappointed that in FY2018 we were not able to grow our revenue and I am also disappointed that we have not yet been able to finalise the proposed transaction with Beston Group.
That said, our efforts are continuing.
In relation to growing our revenues, our sales pipeline continues to grow and show some great promise. I know we have said that before. In my review, included at the front of the Annual Report, we talked of a number of initiatives that show great promise. Additionally, the legislation in India for compulsory vehicle marking has developed in the last twelve months and Temogen has made three submissions to the India Standards Board that if adopted would see our product well placed to be the adopted vehicle marking solution.
Temogen will tell you some more about these developments in his presentation.
Management and the Board over the past 12 months have actively investigated and pursued a number of potential corporate transactions which would have been complementary to the DataDot business model as well as enhancing shareholder value.
While none of these have proven appropriate to bring to completion at this stage, we will continue to pursue suitable opportunities at a corporate level.
Two other matters that I want to mention because they have been very time consuming, resource hungry and disruptive to our efforts, are the EGM called in April 2018 by a very small number of shareholders and the potential spill motion included in our notice of meeting for this morning arising from our Remuneration Report first strike at this meeting last year.
We are grateful for the significant support shown by shareholders at the EGM and in relation to the Remuneration Report for FY 2018. I thank you for your support for us as Directors so that we can continue our efforts to restore value without unnecessary distraction.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
