Commentary on the Results for the Period
Financial Performance Review
Flexiroam Limited ( Flexiroam or the Company ) continued its stellar growth momentum, with revenue increasing by 35% to $8.01 million (FY2019: $5.93 million). This is attributed to global sales expansion which enhanced distribution channels and strategic partnerships. Gross profit increased by 36% to $3.57 million (FY2019: $2.63 million), with a rise from 44% to 45% year-on-year due to effective network cost optimisation and pricing strategies. The improvements were also brought about by the introduction of new pricing for the majority of data plans in line with the Company’s strategy of sustainable growth.
The Company was able to deliver more competitive products in the market resulting in higher acquisition of users. Due to a push in sales and marketing, Flexiroam grew its subscriber base by 81% to 472,000 subscribers (FY2019: 260,000). The number of paying users increased by 104% to 75,083 (FY2019: 36,815). The cumulative subscribers compounded annual growth rate is at 86%, a decrease of 8% from previous year’s (FY2019) compounded annual growth rate of 94%. The decline in growth rate, though insignificant, is the result of lower demand for data and roaming services brought about by restrictions in international travel due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The loss for the year net of tax reduced significantly by 41% to $1.68 million (FY2019: $2.88 million).
Despite the challenging final quarter of this year brought about by the pandemic, Flexiroam’s annual cash receipts increased by 31%, at $9.13m compared to previous year (FY2019: $6.95m). At the inception of the COVID-19 outbreak, the decline in data usage was gradual and concentrated mainly in Asia. Sales and marketing efforts were promptly directed to other continents to cushion some of the initial impact.
While the seasonal decline in sales every Q4 of each financial year was anticipated, the unprecedented travel restrictions during Q4 of this year saw a significant drop in sales of 54% (Q4FY2019: decrease of 22%). Despite the decline, cash receipts recorded a slight increase of 1% from the previous corresponding quarter at $1.54m, (Q4 FY2019: $1.53m).
Successful Capital Raising to Fund Future Growth Strategies
During FY2020, the Company successfully completed a private placement of 19,368,950 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.04 per share to raise approximately $775,000 before costs, followed by a Renounceable Entitlement Offer by the issue of a total of 63,120,842 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.02 each with one attaching new option for each share issued, raising a total of $1,26 million before costs. An additional 2,500,000 listed options were also issued as consideration for lead manager services.

Successful Capital Raising to Fund Future Growth Strategies (con’t)
Total funds raised from the private placement and entitlement issue amounted to approximately $2 million which has been and will be applied to product sales and marketing, research and development and other working capital needs of the Company.
The Impact of COVID 19 on the Company’s operations
COVID-19 has brought the world to a standstill. As much as the Company has tried to mitigate the initial impact in the early stages of the spread by shifting our sales and marketing efforts away from Asia to the rest of the world, it was inevitable that the virus would spread and lead to the widespread suspension of air links and global travel bans. The effect of the pandemic has halted Flexiroam’s upward trajectory over the last four years, amounting to a CAGR of 41%. Prior to COVID-19, the Company had established a strong momentum of sales, marketing, network expansion and cost optimisation which saw growing margins each year.

| Revenue (A$) | $ 2,037,336 | $ 2,969,873 | $ 5,929,017 | $ 8,010,443 |
During the slowdown, the Company was nimble enough to reassess operational capacity and rationalise ongoing network coverage. Flexiroam has implemented various cost-saving measures and currently maintains a strong core team to service existing partners and subscribers, while ensuring that the Company stands prepared to catch the first wave of travellers when countries around the world open their borders again.
At the same time, Flexiroam has accelerated efforts in commercialising existing enterprise solutions to leverage on the Company’s core strengths of connectivity and Big Data analytics. With every crisis, comes opportunity. The Company anticipates that businesses will be streamlining their operations in the post-COVID 19 world and will be looking for ways to optimise their resources and keep costs down. With Flexiroam’s soon-to-be launched enterprise solutions, the Company expects that it will be ready to pivot to a growth business in the direction of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Internet of Things (IoT)
The Internet of Things ( IoT ) encompasses a connectivity network on which sits smart devices, sensors and meters, and software to enable the exchange of information between devices and repositories. IoT technology holds significant potential in the overall IT and communication industry. The IoT technology market is growing rapidly due to the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and connected devices based on machine learning.
Flexiroam’s established expertise and technology in connectivity, consumer apps, Big Data and AI have placed it in good stead to take advantage of the trend. The Company started pivoting to IoT in the early part of FY2020, targeting enterprises. The development team is presently in the final phase of launching the platform, specifically for use in mobile point of sales, smart transportation, logistics and healthcare. The solution is currently undergoing beta trials with several enterprises and is expected to be commercialized in Q1 to Q2 FY2021.
Audit
This Preliminary Final Report is based on accounts which are in the process of being audited. It is likely the audit report will be subject to an emphasis of matter in relation to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 SEGMENT REPORTING
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The Group’s operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions regarding the Company’s operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Group, the Board as a whole has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
During the year, the Group changed the geographical segment presentation in order to provide a more meaningful and useful information to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
As at 31 March 2020, the Group operated in one business segment being the telecommunication business segment and 7 geographical market segments, namely the telecommunications market in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, and Antarctica.
During the current year, the Chief Decision Maker has been reviewing operations and making decisions based on the supply and provision of telecommunications as a single operating unit. Internal management accounts are consequently prepared on this basis.
