DataDot Technology Limited (ASX:DDT) has today released its cash flow report (ASX Appendix 4C) for the quarter ending 31 March 2020.

This cash flow report is unaudited and discloses the inflows and outflows of cash during the quarter ended 31 March 2020 and for the financial year to date.

Highlights

Cash at the end of the quarter was $600.1k which is down from $625.5k at the beginning of the quarter. This represents a breakeven performance from operating activities and a small investment in essential equipment in the quarter.

The year to date investment in property plant and equipment is less than reported in the December quarter report due to the reclassification to operating expenses of transactions that had previously been included in investment activities.

During the quarter the company continued it costs cutting drive with some of the major achievements being:

  • Closure of the factory and office in USA and relocation of the manufacturing to Sydney;

  • Relocation of the Australian factory and Global Head office in Sydney;

  • Finalisation of the management restructure in UK.

Receipts from Customers incudes further payments for new FY2020 contracts for sale and application of motor vehicle kits in Europe through our South Africa distributor. Subject to Covid19 implications that are currently uncertain, this is expected to develop into a stable source of new profit accretive revenues.

Payments to suppliers reflects a lower overall cost base from the implementation of cost saving measures, a 6% reduction in overall inventories on hand, and efficiency gains achieved. Q4 restructuring costs and factory relocation costs will be further reduced over Q2 and Q3.

The Aggregate amounts paid to related parties includes $41.0k in salaries, wages and management fees. The company continues to enjoy strong cash flow support from the directors through deferral of some payments due to them for salaries, wages and management fees.
