Receipts from customer

The new pricing strategies continued to be well received by customers and provide tailwind to our consumer business. Sale receipts from this business segment grew strongly to register an impressive 89% quarter-on-quarter growth, on the back of increased average customer spend and repeat sales.

Corporate sales receipts had also increased albeit by a small margin of 3%, while total sale receipts increased by 51%.

Payment for operating expenses

Payment for operating expenses increased by 53% due primarily to increase in payment for network costs and advertising and marketing expenditures. Payment for administration and corporate costs increased by 78% due primarily to payment for professional fees that were billed in the last quarter. Payment for research and development, as well as staff costs had generally remained constant.

Net cash outflow

Although receipts from customers had increased in this quarter, this was offset by a relatively higher payment for operating expenses and as a result, there was an increase in net cash used in operating activities of 59%. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by 75% due to decreased procurement of X-Microchips from manufacturer. Net cash used in financing activities had by and large remained constant. In total there was an overall increase in net cash outflow by 15%.
