FINANCIAL

Revenue and Customer Receipts

The Company recorded its fifth consecutive cash flow positive quarter from operations, with receipts from customers increasing by 37% to $4.582 million in the September 2021 quarter, from $3.347 million in the previous quarter.

Consolidated revenue has continued to grow Quarter on Quarter with $4.66 million achieved in the September quarter FY21 with EBITDA (unconsolidated) from the three divisions continued to grow Quarter on Quarter with $1.26 million (unaudited) recorded for first quarter FY22. The Company’s a retains a positive outlook to substantially grow revenue.

OPERATIONAL

Resource Division

The Resource division is our standout division currently. This division has generated strong revenue growth during the Quarter, with Betta winning significant new work. It has a current order book of more than $7 million. It entered into a subcontract with Laing O Rourke on a significant works contract with the Department of Defence. The Mt Buller project was substantially impacted by COVID again however was profitable while open, and we look forward to a good snow season next year as the contract has seven years to run. The division has a strong pipeline of potential contracts. Currently, it has bids out on approximately $20 million worth of contracts the Company have a strong chance to win. The market will be notified of all significant wins as they occur. The ability of the Betta Group and Orcoda to jointly on substantial projects, which significantly increases the Group's ability to win projects.

Transport Division

The Company’s Transport division is still affected by COVID-19. However, existing customers remain loyal, and we have a positive outlook to substantially grow revenue from new customers, mainly through the Company’s relationships with Savills and SGS logistics. The Transport Division invested a significant amount of time enhancing our OLMS platform to meet the requirements of the Mt Buller contract. Innovative improvements will benefit future customers and should generate additional income streams in two creative and unique inventions. We added a Dynamic Solver to the OLMS platform to facilitate on-demand transport and scheduled transport in one platform. The other is a notify app that enables notifications to our customers in real-time, which is critical to transport operators. The division is currently in negotiations for two large contracts that, if won, would add significantly to its revenues.

Healthcare Division

Orcoda’s Healthcare division continues to grow revenues and has entered into two small contracts that we anticipate to grow into substantial revenue generators for the division. The Healthcare Division 3- year contract with Transitcare is increasing in revenue, and both parties are working together in the community transport field to grow revenues jointly. The Healthcare division has some exciting opportunities that it is currently working on. We expect to make announcements to the market as them as these evolve.
