Utilities. Delivery of the new, innovative Quick Load pole engineering tool has further extended Pointerra3D’s power distribution analytics capability into the strategically important grid resilience and hardening programs being undertaken by a growing number of US energy utilities. These programs are large, multi-year undertakings and the use of Pointerra3D is delivering material savings in both time and cost, allowing utilities and their EPC contractors to meet program timetables in a time of limited people and materials resources.
Defense & Intelligence. The Company continues to pursue a targeted approach to the Defense sector in the US by developing direct opportunities and partnering with Defense contractors who hold valuable contract vehicles. Recent focus has been on C6ISR where Pointerra3D can provide valuable feedback concerning potential changes in geopolitical scenarios. Additionally, areas of battlefield preparedness, situational awareness and disaster response are being pursued.

Survey & Mapping. Enhancements to Pointerra3D’s digital delivery workflows have accelerated delivery and acceptance processes for Pointerra customers with their QA/QC workflows now performed in the Pointerra3D platform. As adoption and use cases for this enhanced capability further evolve, they are expected to deliver incremental and material ACV growth from existing and new customers in this important sector.
AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations). Pointerra3D analytics that underpin digital engineering and construction workflows are continuing to deliver growth in this sector. The buying journey commences with adoption of Pointerra3D Core as the Common Data Environment (CDE) to unify 3D data assets across a given project. Once consolidated and available across all project stakeholders the CDE is leveraged to report on project progress, conformance to design and produce asconstructed Digital Twins for full cycle asset management.

Mining, Oil & Gas. Pointerra3D continues to grow its footprint in the resources sector as Digital Transformation programs build momentum and organisations are seeking end-to-end solutions that are open, scalable and easy to use. Pointerra3D has now been adopted by a number of global Tier-1 resources companies and is being relied on to operationalise the use of 3D capture hardware solutions that were previously challenged by time delays in data processing and analysis. Pointerra3D has solved these problems and is now building Digital Twins for resources companies across the world.
Transport. The transport sector continues to be a high growth area for the Company both within Government and for EPC firms tasked with the delivery of major linear infrastructure programs. The delivery capability described under Survey & Mapping (above) is viewed as a high value by this sector and is being widely adopted in Australia, with existing transport agency customers renewing and new government agencies selecting Pointerra via competitive tender processes.

Q4 FY23 Quarterly Cashflow Commentary
==> picture [11 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
Cash Receipts. During the quarter ended 30 June 2023 the Company received A$0.78 million in customer receipts, compared to the 31 March 2023 quarter figure of A$3.25 million, which contributed to a net cash outflow from operating activities of A$1.79 million for the quarter. Short-term program and invoicing delays by some US customers were experienced during Q4 and further improvement is expected in Q4 and into FY24. Cash receipts for the month of July 2023 amounted to A$1.8 million. The core business operation continues to self-fund organic growth across the business in Australia and the US.
Cash Outflows (Summary of Expenditure) . During the quarter, payments for Research and Development represented salary allocations of Pointerra team members who are 100% focused on R&D activities. Payments for Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs represent the portion of Pointerra’s AWS cloud platform expenditure allocated to supporting paying customers as well as 3rd party data procurement costs made on behalf of customers. Ongoing AWS costs as a percentage of revenue are expected to trend down in coming quarters as further cost optimisation strategies are adopted in conjunction with AWS engineers.
Payments for Staff Costs represent salaries for administration, sales, and general management activities by Pointerra team members. Payments for Administration and Corporate Costs represent general costs associated with running the Company, including conference travel and attendance costs, ASX fees, legal fees, adviser fees and premises rent.
Cash Outflows for the quarter were in line with management expectations and the cash balance as of 30 June 2023 amounted to A$1.49 million. Please refer to the attached Appendix 4C for further details on cash flows for the quarter. The aggregate amount of payments to related parties and their associates included in the current quarter cash flows from operating activities were A$0.10 million comprising Directors fees, salaries, and superannuation.

| 8.6.1 Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current |
level of net operating | |
| cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not? |
Answer:
No, the Company does not expect this level of operating cash outflows to continue in Q1 FY24 or into future quarters.
The Q4 FY23 result is primarily attributed to program and invoicing delays with US customers in addition to large accounts receivables balances at quarter end, most of which were originally expected to be collected during Q4 FY23. Delays in payments by customers experienced during Q4 FY23 are expected to be resolved during Q1 FY24, with A$1.8 million collected during the month of July.
Short-term program delays by some US customers experienced during Q4 FY23 are expected to resolve during Q1 FY24, with further improvement is expected in Q2 FY24 and beyond into FY24.
Consistent with previous quarters, the Company highlights that quarter-on-quarter cash receipts may continue to be variable as new customers are on-boarded following contract award with a variety of different payment cycles including monthly, quarterly, annually, and even multi-year in advance agreements.

- 8.6.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?
Answer:
The Company has not taken any steps to raise further cash (refer 8.6.1 above) and has a track record of successfully raising cash as and when required.
8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer:
Cash collections in Q1 and Q2 FY24 and beyond are expected to generate positive cashflows from operations.
Note: where item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.6.1, 8.6.2 and 8.6.3 above must be answered.
