Brontech Pty Ltd

During the period, the Company received shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 11.1.2, to complete the strategic investment into Sydney based company, Brontech Pty Ltd ( Brontech ). Brontech is a blockchain backed platform for data exchange and identity management. In addition to the existing platform, Brontech is developing proprietary applications to extract data and pack it into anonymised data products that are sold to corporations and SMEs as insights and research tools.

Following completion of the investment, the Company has an 18.23% strategic equity interest in Brontech. In accordance with the terms of the investment, Brontech founder and CEO, Ms Emma Poposka was appointed a Director of the Company on 5 February 2018.

Further details on Ms Poposka’s qualifications and experience can be found on the Company’s website.

National Currency eXchange

During the quarter ended 31 March 2018, the Company entered into a strategic investment, collaboration and development agreement with digital asset exchange, National Currency eXchange ( NCX ) ( Agreement ).

NCX was identified as a logical partner for digital asset management as it embraces similar regulatory compliance focused foundations that both the Akela platform and Brontech are built on.

The key deliverables of the Agreement are:

  • Payment Gateway : NCX will assist the Company to develop a software architecture and business analysis scope for the Payment Gateway, to be done within 3 months; and

  • Development Services : separate to the Payment Gateway, NCX will provide development services to OOK for the further development of its intellectual property, including the Akela Platform and related project management services, for a period of 12 months.

As noted in the announcements on 13 February 2018 and 26 March 2018, the Company and NCX are exploring the development of an investment platform which, if successful will allow verified clients to access a ‘digital wallet’ allowing Akela to be the first securities investment platform to integrate digital asset payment solutions for use in traditional equity offerings.

Under the Agreement, NCX will assist the Company to develop a software architecture and business analysis scope for the Payment Gateway via a blockchain methodology, after which time the parties intend to collaborate on a jointly funded project to develop the Payment Gateway.

Further terms of the Agreement and details on the Company’s investment in NCX, can be found in the ASX announcement on 12 March 2018 and 9 April 2018.

Akela Platform

During the quarter, the Company’s wholly owned Akela Platform continued to generate revenue and secure quality offerings for its retail and sophisticated (s708) investors. During March 2018, Akela offered its clients the opportunity to participate in Rafaella Resources Ltd’s Initial Public Offering (IPO), with Akela closing its allocation heavily oversubscribed.

Akela has also secured an allocation in the prospectus capital raising for Metals 479 Limited (proposed ASX code: ML7), with the offer now open to both its retail and s708 clients.

Akela looks forward to continuing to advance its revenue opportunities with further quality offerings for its subscribers, with a strong pipeline of offers under evaluation.

Corporate

During the period and as announced on 12 March 2018, the Company undertook a capital raising to raise a total of $500,000 (before costs). The raising was completed through the issue of 11,111,111 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.045 per share (“ Placement ”), to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors.

The Placement was conducted without shareholder approval utilising the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Funds raised from the Placement have and will be used towards payment of development costs and investment into NCX’s Seed B capital raising, and for general working capital purposes.

7,515,789 fully paid ordinary shares and 2,500,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.02 each on or before 3 September 2019, were issued to consultants during the quarter, for services provided to the Company. A further 38,547,059 fully paid ordinary shares were released from escrow, 4,520,270 fully paid shares were issued on conversion of unlisted options exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 22 January 2019 and 36,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares on conversion of Performance Rights.

As announced on 16 February 2018, Mr Peter Wall resigned as Non-executive Director of the Company.

Outlook

As per the Company’s diversified investment and acquisition growth strategy outlined in its listing prospectus released on ASX in November 2015, the Directors of Ookami continue to consider technologies and solutions deemed complementary to the Ookami ecosystem, and are continuing to explore such opportunities brought about via their deep industry connections and are currently evaluating a number of additional complementary business acquisitions that may have the potential to create additional shareholder value. The Board considers the strengthening of the strategic relationship with Brontech and NCX as an important step in the development of its strategy.
