  • Flexiroam Partner Program 2.0 had secured 33 new distributors in 14 countries.

  • The new digital marketing strategy continued to show positive results with 98% reduction in marketing expenditure from the previous corresponding quarter.

  • Research and development activities were streamlined resulting in further costs reduction compared to the previous quarters.

  • There were 3 times as many active users in this quarter compared to the previous corresponding quarter but product manufacturing and operating costs increased by only 29%, clearly reflecting the positive effects of economies of scale.

  • Payment for staff costs remained constant while administration and corporate costs increased by 54% from corresponding quarter due to higher freight, talent recruitment, software subscription and consultancy costs.
