ASX Appendix 4C Quarterly Activity Report

DataDot Technology Limited (ASX:DDT) has today released its cash flow report (ASX Appendix 4C) for the quarter ending 31 December 2021.

This cash flow report is unaudited and discloses the inflows and outflows of cash during the quarter ended 31 December 2021.

Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of the quarter was $2,691.1k which is an increase of $158.2k from the $2,532.9k available at the beginning of the quarter.

The quarter’s improved cash position was largely due to the company’s on-going positive trading performance that has continued into the first half of FY 2022.

With its improved trading performance delivering positive cash flows for each of the last 5 quarters, the company’s immediate objectives are to continue:

1. Consolidating the benefits from the company’s restructuring and the revenue streams that have contributed to the improved trading performance.

2. Implementation of the company’s business plan for the PropertyVAULT suite of products and services.

3. Pursuing opportunities for growth of our core product categories in partnership with our Licensees and Distributors in international markets.

To advance these objectives the company is investing in new revenue focused marketing and business development resources.

In most respects the operating result for the quarter was substantially as expected.

Payments to Related Parties include $72.6k of Director Fees and salaries, and $27.9k is reimbursement of expenses and Licence Fees paid in the normal course of business.

This release has been approved by the Board of Directors.
