Receipts from customers

Sale receipts from consumer business increased by 120% from the previous quarter ended 30 September 2017 as our artificial intelligence (AI) powered in-app-marketing tools helped to stoke repeat sales; and increased 412% compared to the quarter ended 31 December 2016 on the back of a larger customer base.

Our Partner 2.0 Program had enabled our corporate business to thrive where receipts from sales of X- Licences (for the right to use X-Microchip) increased by 183% compared to the quarter ended 31 December 2016. To date, we have 187 partners in 41 countries and Flexiroam-X are sold in airport retail stores in 29 airports worldwide.

Overall sales increased by 70% from the quarter ended 30 September 2017 and 376% from the quarter ended 31 December 2016.

Payment for operating expenses

Payment for operating expenses increased by 23% compared to the quarter ended 30 September 2017 due primarily to increase in product manufacturing and operating costs comprising mainly network costs that had increased in tandem with a much enlarged active customer base.

Research & development expenditure increased by 28% with new hiring that focuses on enhancing Flexiroam Tracking System (FTS) with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. New algorithms continued to be developed and tested for in-app-marketing tools, network optimisation, personalised data plans, customer relationship management and security.

Net cash outflow

The increase in payment for operating expenses was offset by an increase in receipts from customers. As a result, net cash outflow improved by 25% and 37% compared to the previous quarters ended 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016 respectively.
