OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Mt Buller Update

Since the start of the snow season, the Company has transported more than 90,000 passenger movements, with revenues from Mt Buller adding significantly to the Company’s revenues for the Quarter with next quarter already performing very well. Passenger numbers have been steadily increasing, driven by visitors from Victoria when not in lockdown. Subject to COVID-19 restrictions being lifted this snow season the outlook is very positive.

Transport Division

The Company’s Transport division is still affected by COVID-19, however existing customers are remaining loyal with a positive outlook to substantially grow revenue from new customers and the Company’s relationships with Savills and SGS logistics. The division is currently in negotiations on two very large contracts that once contracted will add significantly to the division’s revenues.

Healthcare Division

Orcoda’s Healthcare division involves the sales of a SaaS platform to not-for-profits and commercial entities who provide transport to the Aged Care and Disabled communities and provides vehicles and drivers for a daily rate. The Company recently entered a 3-year contract with Transitcare to provide vehicles and drivers to complement their fleet, with the intention to grow the services jointly with them and is in the process of negotiating extra contracts that will add substantially to revenue if contracted.

Resource Division

As mentioned, the Resource division is now well entrenched into the Mt Buller snow season with revenues growing. The division has also already announced the $1.3 million project with a major mining company and is bidding on several large infrastructure projects at present, which will be announced to the market if contracted. The ability for Betta Group and Orcoda to bid jointly on major projects will significantly increase the Company’s chances of winning these projects.

The Company’s vision of growing by way of strategic acquisition is now paying off, with Betta Group proving highly beneficial to Orcoda. The acquisition has added significantly to receipts from customers for the half, with increasing revenues and continued profitability.

Betta Group, which is part of the Resource division is integral to Orcoda’s smart pole installation strategy. The smart poles pertain to smart cities and smart highways of the future, with the smart pole platform to connect into Orcoda’s people transport platform, asset management transport platform, new Dynamic Optimiser (DO), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Augmented Reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IOT), to deliver a total integrated platform for Government and commercial enterprises to manage a fully integrated transport solution.

The Company also continues to research and develop other new products within the Transport Logistics, Healthcare Logistics and Resource Logistics businesses to stay ahead of the curve. These projects and programs reflect Orcoda’s support for Australian-based R&D, which helps the Company to continue to improve and innovate its software and solutions.

MOU signed to develop and deliver on Orcoda’s ‘Smart Poles’

In June 2021, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with several parties to organise and drive the design, development, manufacture and delivery of Smart Poles into the national market.

Orcoda entered the MOU with the following parties:

  • Wagners CFT Manufacturing - composite smart pole manufacture and hardware integration.

==> picture [264 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

  • Future Meridian - Government liaison, overseeing grant process, assisting with sales and infrastructure funding needs.

  • RC Birili - digital systems delivery, hardware sourcing and indigenous engagement.

  • Betta Power Services – management of a state with potential for national installation roll-out.

  • Orcoda - contract management, management of digital platforms and connectivity into Orcoda existing transport technology platforms.

The Smart Pole is an integrated road-aligned eco-system for enhancing technology across data transportation grids and to support special purpose access by multiple parties and licencees, including government transport departments, municipalities, private entities, telcos, law enforcement groups.

Orcoda’s strategic goal is for the Smart Pole to leverage real-time system reporting, data, and for special purpose sensors to be built into the Smart Pole, based on the relevant needs and product demand. The Smart Pole is intended to facilitate roads and highways with intelligent management, vehicle flow detection, vehicle monitoring, road maintenance, road safety, emergency rescue, and support intelligent messaging and intelligent payment systems.

Importantly, the Smart Poles are intended to leverage 5G base stations for enhancing signal strength and interconnectivity across urban and regional areas.

Orcoda’s Smart Poles Project represents a significant opportunity to grow the Company’s recurring revenues, coupled with substantial benefits that the technology can deliver to transport services and infrastructure both nationally and internationally.
