Commenting on the quarter, TYMLEZ CEO Daniel O’Halloran said, “ Our task in Q1 was to continue to shift our commercialisation focus from selling a platform for developers to build their own solutions upon, to developing solutions for clients in key industries, leveraging the TYMLEZ platform. There are some very exciting opportunities in industries that are experiencing legislative change which support proof of origin and tracking and tracing applications, these are primary use cases for blockchain.
“TYMLEZ has been selected together with some of the most prestigious Dutch companies to develop a decentralised energy system. TROEF (Transparent Reduction of CO[2] and Optimisation of Energy in an Ecosystem of Flexibility) consortium is committed and supported by the Dutch government. Established with the ambition of creating CO[2] neutral energy communities to become ‘Paris Proof’, the project will reward users for active participation in the energy community, based on innovative data-driven services. The consortium’s lead partner is Royal BAM Group (€6.8bn revenue in 2020).
“TYMLEZ has also actively reduced costs which are not directly aligned to its strategy of delivering commercial revenue in our targeted sectors.”
TYMLEZ Group Limited (ASX:TYM) (TYMLEZ or the Company), a leader in enterprise software and technology solutions utilizing commercial grade blockchain technology, is pleased to release its Appendix 4C – Quarterly Cashflow report and Update for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 (The Quarter). All financial results are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated and are unaudited. Where results occurred in other currencies such as Euros, they have been converted to Australian dollars at the rate of €1.00 = A$1.55.
TROEF contract won, first deliverables and first cash received
During the period from 1 January to 31 December 2020 the Group focused on refining its strategic approach to market, completing important product development stages, and building pipeline in its focused markets.
This refined strategy has started to pay off. On 30th October 2020 the Group announced that it had
applied for a Government grant with the TROEF (Transparent Reduction of CO2 and Optimisation of Energy in an Ecosystem of Flexibility) consortium comprising leading Dutch enterprises and institutions to develop an “Internet of Energy” solution.
In the consortium TYMLEZ is responsible for the development of a carbon credit trading solution utilising its existing energy marketplace and its blockchain technology.
The grant with the TROEF was successfully awarded in early 2021. The initial project grant for the Group is €675,000 over 4 years to develop and test the carbon credit trading platform in a live environment. The grant covers project costs during development but excludes any license and consulting revenue for follow-on large scale roll outs. Those are envisaged to occur from 2022 and onwards.
Significant Restructuring of the Business in Line with Change in Strategy
Our rejuvenated team with deep, relevant expertise in software and energy sectors has been a key driver in establishing a new focus and clear commercial strategy.
In early 2021 TYMLEZ continued to pivot the business into building commercial grade applications for clients on the enterprise grade TYMLEZ platform. The world is driving green energy and sustainability initiatives in peer-to-peer trading, C0[2] tracking and tracing with proof of origin also being an area that is presenting exciting opportunities and TYMLEZ will provide the blockchain technologies that will deliver the solutions these markets are seeking.
The revenue model has also been shifted from perpetual licensing with ongoing maintenance fees to a subscription model that is both scalable and more aligned with customer success.
During Q1, TYMLEZ unveiled a rebrand and launched its redesigned website to reflect its new green energy and sustainability focus.
Cutting Costs in our European operation
During the Quarter, TYMLEZ continued its shift of global headquarters to Australia to lower cost, improve market focus and investor communication.
On 30 March 2021 the Company agreed with the landlord of the German office to buy off the remaining lease. This has freed the way for the Company to move our developers to a more efficient office in Heidelberg. This means lower monthly costs and more flexibility.
Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct (GCHKP) Investment Attraction Program grant
The GCHKP Investment Attraction Program provides financial assistance to companies that are considering expanding or relocating to the Precinct. The TYMLEZ Digital Cities Ignition Project will roll out an all-encompassing smart city case study to demonstrate at scale how to build the smart, renewable cities of the future using our technology that provides a digitally enabled ecosystem for all of the inhabitants. TYMLEZ has the capacity to catalyse the digital future that is enabled by scalable enterprise blockchain solutions which can provide entirely new models of regional economic development.
TYMLEZ is also moving our university collaboration resources from Europe to Australia to be closer to our leadership, technology and research teams. We have started a non-exclusive engagement process with academics and administrators at University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology and the Sant Fe Institute in the United States. We aim to generate educational content for training programs and to engage with other industry research bodies to provide industry placements and opportunities for students as part of the cores R&D strategy for our Company.
The Gold Coast will become the TYMLEZ Australian and International Office with the c-suite and senior team all living and working at the Gold Coast.
