ACTIVITY REPORT
Elsight Limited (ASX: ELS), a provider of ground-breaking hybrid video and data transmission services (onthe-move or fixed) for large Safe-City projects, sensitive facilities management, and surveillance and protective activities offers this report on its activities for the quarter ended 31 December 2018.
Revenues
This is the second consecutive quarter marked by a material increase in revenues over the previous one as well as over the same quarter in 2017. Unaudited revenue for Q4 2018 was USD $621K, a 98% increase on Q4 2017 and a 57% increase on Q3 2018.
Cash Inflows
Cash collections have been a focus for the Company over the past year. Q4 collections have increased by 88% compared to Q3.
Cash Outflows.
Investments continued in the area of R&D, sales and business development as outlined in the 4C. The Company is focused and heavily invested on its new platform that is going to be officially launched at the world’s largest cellular trade show, the “MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2019” in Barcelona (Feb. 25-29, 2019).
Business operations
Product and Technology
Q4 saw investment by the Company towards the completion of its breakthrough flagship platform with the Use of Funds outlined in the Prospectus (to be deployed during Q2/2019). This development is intended to open up large lucrative addressable market opportunities in a number of verticals including drones, autonomous drones/automotive/agritech/robotics and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)s. This new platform is designed to dramatically lower size, weight and costs (boosting margins) while adding new capabilities, functionalities as well as new business model flexibility. Working capital was also deployed in manufacturing and sourcing to supply customer orders and for use in proof of concept (POC) projects with various strategic customers. The impact on our revenues should become more noticeable toward the end of Q3/2019.
Sales and Customer success
In Q4 the Company continued to increase its sales and business development activities. Highlights included receiving the first significant order from Alrena for the “Smart Medicase” partnership and a substantial repeat order from FMS integrator, Traffilog for a major public security agency in the UK. As indicated in the previous quarter, the Company began to execute its planned sales and marketing activities in the US market and has been working on number of POCs in the field with HLS and defence organisations. Elsight has also been working on multiple POCs in the Unmanned Vehicles Segment.

Strategic focus
The Company’s strategic shift to increase its focus on the US Market in addition to existing opportunities that have become available in the Asia Pacific region and the UK was reported in the previous quarter. This has gathered momentum in Q4.
As a result, of direct business development activities in the US, and despite the longer sale cycle associated with this geography, the Company is working on developing its pipeline with a number of parties in the US to further drive commercial success in H2/2019. These parties include Tier-one defence integrators, manufacturers of ruggedized mobile tablets for Police and Fire departments, crisis managers, airport and transport operators, providers of international unmanned aerial systems and centric security missions, and autonomous tractors for the agriculture market. The Company will inform the market as material contracts are signed.
The Company also believes that delivery of its new products, due for release during Q2/2019 will have positive implications for its future success.
Outlook
As previously indicated, the increased focus on the Americas as well as on bringing the new products to market have resulted in some delays to revenue bookings accepted by the Company in time for the end of Calendar 2018. Nonetheless, the Company believes that the US market has the potential to deliver significant growth in the near future, especially as we have not been able to identify competent or viable alternatives to the Company’s technology available in the market. Furthermore, the planned release of our new Next Generation Platform will coincide with the Company’s planned revenue growth in the second half of 2019, 2020 and beyond.
