The annualised monthly recurring revenue (AMRR) of FirstWave continued to increase during 3Q FY2017 to $6.91 million, an increase of 33% relative to the same period a year ago, and up 23% on the equivalent measure in 2Q FY2017.[1][2]

Estimated cash flows for Q4 FY 2017

The Company expects customer receipts in Q4 FY 17 to be $2.3 million and after allowing for net finance and capital movements will result in a cash balance at year end of $1.8 million.
