ASX Company Announcement
ACTIVITY REPORT & APPENDIX 4C
31 July 2018
The Company continues its progress in generating revenue streams since listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in June 2018. At this early stage, the Board does not expect revenue to be consistent from quarter to quarter, allowing for an adjustment period as the Company absorbs new people, adds new products and sales channels and adapts to its routine after an IPO but maintains its positive outlook for the upcoming quarters.
Operating expenses in Q2 were high due to once off costs associated with the Company's IPO and an increase in R & D expenditure to escalate the products to market. There is a forecasted increase in expenditure for product manufacturing and associated operating costs in Q3. This increase is associated with the build-up in inventories of the new products in excess of what was anticipated at the time of the IPO.
The company's future growth directions are based on:
• The number of sales channels that are in the process of discussing agreements with the Company;
- Sales orders and the continuous development of new products;
- Investment in partnerships to enhance the Company's offering; and
- Regulation activities to promote safe drone operations.
ParaZero continues to develop relationships with distributors and retailers in the United States and Australia under which the Company provides drone safety systems for commercial users using popular drone models for sale by those distributors and retailers. During the quarter ParaZero has established new partnerships with DJI official resellers. The Company will be aggressively expanding its sales footprint across these markets by continuing to identify further distributors and retailers to sell its products. There is on-going growth of parties looking to stock the Company products for sale to drone operators and enthusiasts.
ParaZero has received first orders from significant retailers and distributors in the United States and Australia for the SafeAir M200 drone safety system. DJI is the dominant global drone manufacturer of commercial drones and its Matrice 200 is one of the leading commercial models available today. ParaZero's SafeAir M200 drone safety system is an end-to-end solution that is designed specifically for DJI's Matrice 200 series.
In addition to ongoing engineering, new products are at the heart of R&D activities. Final product adaptations are on the way as the Company gets ready to launch sales of new products into the market. The Company is particularly excited about the impending launch of its professional consumer (prosumer) products that can open mass adoption of Parazero products and significantly strengthen our brand in this rapidly growing market.
In June 2018, ParaZero announced that Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), part of Allianz Group, is offering discounted insurance products to customers utilising ParaZero drone safety systems. As part of the Company's strategy, ParaZero is seeking for more likewise partnerships that will enable growth. The Company is in negotiation with numerous potential partners to expand its offering.
As reported in June, ParaZero has been selected as UAS Safety Provider for Multiple UASIPP Teams. In the upcoming quarter, the company is moving forward with the teams working together to execute the initial phases of safe integration of UAS in the NAS.
ParaZero is an active member of the ASTM standard. In the last ASTM meeting that took place in June, significant progress was made in pushing forward the ASTM standard.
ParaZero would also like to note that the Company's drone safety system recently saved hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of payload mounted on a commercial drone that had a serious malfunction. The mission happened towards the end of the quarter and was executed by a commercial drone operator in the homeland security domain. ParaZero's drone safety system identified a critical failure in the flight and autonomously deployed a ballistic parachute during the customers' operations, bringing the drone and the payload back to the ground, safely.
