New scalable customer support had outstanding success, delivering a superior experience for travellers, with increased operational efficiency, improved response times, resolution times, and review scores; through the release of complete 24/7 support, staffed internationally from travel-timezone-aligned regions, all enabled by new optimisations in the support team as a result of the new customer support technology platform deployed last quarter.

Cash position
The attached Appendix 4C covers cashflow for Q3 FY18.
The Company is pleased to report that at 31st March 2018 the Company held AUD$4,511,000 in total cash.
Cash receipts from customers during Q3 FY18 totalled AUD$542,000.
Cash payments towards operating activities during Q3 FY18 totalled AUD$1,973,000.
Cash receipts further detail
Cash receipts from customers is the net amount as follows:
Cash received from retail fares booked, usually received at the booking date;
Less cash refunded for retail fares refunded, usually paid at the refund date;
Less cash payments to transport companies, usually paid after the travel date.
Cash receipts from customers therefore differ from revenue due to the timing of the cash movements. Whereas revenue is recognised at the booking date, Jayride carries the cash held on behalf of the transport company, and cash payments to transport companies do not occur until after the booking has travelled.
Cash receipt timing has seasonal effects, for example, during December holiday season a relatively smaller volume of advanced-booking coincides with a relatively larger volume of passenger travel, leading to understated cash receipts for the period.
Cash payments and operating budgets further detail
Cash payments increased during Q3 FY18 as compared to Q2 FY18 in the areas of research and development, advertising and marketing, and staff costs.
The company forecast that cash payments would increase more strongly than they did, thereby beating the forecast in Section 9 of the Q2 FY18 Appendix 4C by AUD$318,000.
Furthermore, overall cash performance improved compared to the previous quarter, with net cash outflows for Q3 FY18 of AUD$1,381,000, a reduction of 4%.

Call deposits and term deposits further detail
The Company has made a change to the way it recognises the term deposit related to its bank guarantee for office space. In addition, the company set up call deposits.
Additional detail regarding these movements and deposits is annotated inline in the Appendix 4C attached.
Comparison of Q3 FY18 and Q2 FY18
Comparing the cash position of Q3 FY18 with Q2FY18, with alike adjustments for term deposits, the cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter for Q3 FY18 is AUD$4,511,000, as compared to the same measure in Q2 FY18 of AUD$4,543,000, a cash movement of just AUD$32,000.
Advanced bookings further detail
Of the AUD$4,511,000 cash held at 31st March 2018, AUD$429,000 is cash held on behalf of transport companies for bookings that have yet to travel at 31st March 2018.

Forward outlook
The Company remains focussed on growth in commissions booked and passengers travelled whilst optimising its unit economics. The Company is well positioned to achieve this growth by deploying the funds raised in the Pre-IPO and IPO investment rounds.
During Q4 FY18, in line with the Company’s strategic focus, the Company intends to deploy funds in the following areas:
-
Traveller acquisition channels through optimising the Company’s B2C websites, especially in favour of improved session values, conversion rates, and organic traffic. These continuous improvements are expected to contribute to quarter over quarter growth in revenues from Q4 FY18 and beyond.
-
International transport technology platform launch to enable rapid scaling of transport into new international regions, so that travellers can compare and book transport companies in new destinations around the world. Internal launches have been completed, and the platform is nearly ready for initial release.
-
New international regional rollouts allowing bookings of passengers with transport companies in new regions beyond the Company’s current regions, as powered by the new technology platform, is expected to contribute to quarter over quarter growth from Q4 FY18 and beyond.
During Q3 FY18 cash payments for research and development and other operational costs will increase to support these objectives.
The Company continues to recognise a AUD$356,000 Research and Development Tax Incentive claim for the FY17 period on its balance sheet.
The Company has also been approved for an Export Market Development Grant, having submitted the maximum claim of AUD$150,000. The Company has received the first tranche of AUD$40,000. Payment of the second tranche is at the discretion of AusIndustry, up to the maximum of AUD$110,000.
