30 JUNE 2020 QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT

Drone Safety Systems company ParaZero Limited (ASX: PRZ) (ParaZero or the Company) is pleased the following report and attached Appendix 4C to its shareholders for the quarter ending 30 June 2020.

Summary of cash flows and related activity

As at 30 June 2020, ParaZero had cash at bank of US$123,000 whilst it was previously operating under a bank overdraft facility at 31 March 2020. This increase was directly related to the Company raising US$331,000 via the issuance of Convertible Notes.

Net cash of US$226,000 was used in operating activities compared with US$344,000 for the quarter ending 31 March 2020, mainly due to a reduction in staff, administration and corporate costs from US$477,000 for the quarter ending 31 March 2020 to US$301,000 at 30 June 2020.

The drop in receipts from customers was mainly due to decreasing activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the post COVID-19 context, as foreshadowed in the March 2020 quarterly, the Company expects that demand for drone services globally will experience growth across a range of sectors including logistics, mining, oil & gas, agriculture, civil services and health.

During the quarter ended 30 June 2020, ParaZero raised US$331,000 via Convertible Notes and has continued raising capital subsequent to the end of the June 2020 quarter, issuing further Convertible Notes for approximately US$142,000.

Cashflow on activities in the quarter were as follows:

  • Receipts down from US$207k in the March quarter to US$152k;
  • Manufacturing and operating costs of US$65k compared to US$39k In March quarter;
  • Advertising and marketing costs were constant at US$8k;
  • Staff costs down from US$255k in the March quarter to US$129k; and
  • Administration and corporate costs down from US$222k in the March quarter to US$172k.

There were no other substantive business activities during the quarter.

  • 8.6 If item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
    • 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 net operating cash outflows are expected to be higher due to planned steps to revive the operating activity following steps taken by the Company to reduce expenses during the COVID-19 crisis.

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: Yes. The Company raised an additional A$200,000 worth of convertible notes subsequent to the June 2020 quarter end and will raise an additional A$100,000 which is already secured and will be received in August 2020. The Company is in incomplete and confidential negotiations for a transaction, that, if successful, will improve the Company's overall financial position.

8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its businessobjectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: The ability of the Company to continue its operations and meet its businessobjectives is dependent on securing additional funds through equity or debt or acombination of both and receipts through the sale products and services. TheCompany expects to return to normal and consistent operations during Q3 2020,but this will be dependent on the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of anyeconomic consequences that flow, particularly in the regions in which theCompany's business operates.
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.
