OpenDNA Limited (ASX: OPN) (“ OpenDNA ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide shareholders with the Company’s quarterly activities report and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2017.
During the Quarter, OpenDNA’s activities were focused on a number of key strategic areas which the Board and management believe are important drivers for the Company’s future success. These areas included:
-
broadening the Company’s monetisation capability;
-
signing new Customer Agreements and delivering into existing agreements;
-
advancing relationships with potential customers and channel partners; and
-
promoting awareness of OpenDNA’s highly innovative proprietary personalisation technology.
OpenDNA’s technology has the capacity to revolutionise the way in which brands and organisations interact with targeted individuals on a global scale. Data analytics and consumer profiling technology have historically driven the categorization of end-users, however OpenDNA dives much deeper as it enables the real-time tracking of individual end-users to gauge their interests, opinions and propensity to engage, creating a range of benefits for businesses and users alike.

Key developments in relation to the March Quarter were as follows:
AdTech agreements signed with leading companies Facebook and Fyber
An important component of OpenDNA’s near-term monetisation strategy is the ability to integrate market-leading advertising capabilities into the OpenDNA-powered Apps and other digital platforms developed by the Company for customers. Not only does the ability to offer integrated advertising capability increase the attractiveness of the Company’s offering for potential new customers, it also has the potential to increase revenue for existing customers (with OpenDNA participating in revenue share arrangements so that it also directly benefits in that regard).
Following the signature of an MOU with US-based MediaFuse in December 2016 to provide the Company with access to MediaFuse’s advertising technology, during the Quarter OpenDNA further bolstered its suite of available ad-tech platforms by signing agreements with leading companies Facebook and Fyber. Access to the Facebook and Fyber platforms increases the Company’s ability to offer customers extensive advertising inventory, access to cutting-edge advertising technology and market-leading revenue generation capabilities, delivered in a seamlessly integrated manner in conjunction with OpenDNA’s personalisation technology. In addition, as a leading proponent of native ads, which can be integrated into the broader digital content of Apps and websites without “breaks” or “inserts” which can disrupt the user experience, the Facebook platform provides OpenDNA with an additional benefit which is highly attractive to customers in the digital publishing sector in particular.
Development and launch of customer Apps
During the Quarter, OpenDNA-powered iOS and Android Apps were developed for leading UK travel brand Family Traveller and for US-based sporting community SportsBlog LLC, with Sportsblog’s Apps also launched through the iTunes and Google Play stores.
The highly-personalised OpenDNA Apps allow the Company’s customers to tailor content to individual users via the Company’s innovative personalisation technology. Further (and consistent with OpenDNA’s near-term monetisation strategy), they also feature targeted advertising capability, enabling in-App advertisements also to be tailored to those specific individual users.
Under its relevant Customer Agreements OpenDNA is entitled to a monthly licence fee (based on the number of active users of the Apps), as well as a share of ad revenue from ads served via the OpenDNA ad-tech partnerships.
SDKs finalised for iOS, Android and web
Since listing on the ASX, OpenDNA has been working on various development projects designed to enable potential customers to easily access and integrate the Company’s technology. One important such project, which was finalised during the Quarter, was the creation of SDKs for each of iOS, Android and web-based platforms. The OpenDNA SDKs serve as a “toolkit” enabling software developers to connect existing digital platforms to OpenDNA’s technology, or to design new Apps and websites so as to be “ powered by OpenDNA ”. Accordingly, the Company sees the availability of the SDKs as being a key development in making its technology accessible to a broad range of potential customers globally.

Increased recognition and awareness
During the Quarter, OpenDNA was invited to present at the TechKnow Invest Roadshows held in Sydney and Melbourne on 21 and 23 March, respectively. The TechKnow Roadshow event, one of Australasia’s premier technology-focussed investor conferences, provided the Company with the opportunity to present to potential investors and participants in the technology sector to promote awareness both of OpenDNA’s technology and the Company’s progress and direction.
Post-Quarter, OpenDNA was pleased to be invited as one of Westpac’s 200 “Businesses of Tomorrow” to attend at the Businesses of Tomorrow Summit held in Sydney on 7 April 2017. The Company was one of only 7 listed companies to be recognised by Westpac amongst the list of 200 businesses featured in the Businesses of Tomorrow program, which confers various benefits on the successful participants including local and national media recognition, access to the Businesses of Tomorrow Online Network established by Westpac and rights to use the “Businesses of Tomorrow” logo. Further information can be viewed at OpenDNA’s website at: http://bit.ly/OPN_Business_of_Tomorrow.
Appointment of Mr Peter Torre as Company Secretary
On 31 March 2017, the Company announced that it had appointed Mr Peter Torre as its Company Secretary, replacing Kevin Hart in that role. Mr Torre, the principal of specialist corporate advisory firm Torre Corporate, has a wealth of industry experience, including having worked extensively as Company Secretary for former ASX listed and award-winning IT company ASG Group Limited. Concurrently, the Company’s registered office address was moved to Unit B9, 1st Floor, 431 Roberts Rd, Subiaco.
OpenDNA’s Chief Executive Officer, Jay Shah, commented:
“ In the March Quarter we continued to focus our efforts on driving awareness of our exciting personalisation technology, maximising the attractiveness of our offering to current and potential customers alike and forging new relationships with prospective customers and channel partners. The Company has developed an extensive pipeline of active discussions with customers and channel partners both locally and internationally and we are excited about the prospect of translating those discussions into new opportunities for revenue generation. We look forward in this current Quarter to updating the market as to further developments in that regard. ”
