e-Commerce and digital marketing company RooLife Group Ltd (ASX: RLG) ("RLG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide shareholders with the Company's Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C for the Quarter ended 31 December 2021 (the "Quarter").
RLG's technology platform manages the sale of food, beverages and health and wellbeing products, matching consumer demand with businesses and producers seeking to enter and sell into growth markets connecting global producers and brands directly to consumers.
RLG's marketplace platform links consumers with brands and facilitates transaction control via its cloudbased operational dashboard with real-time visibility of inventory, consumer purchases and preferences with sales data and other business intelligence, managing sales from order to buyer through direct-toconsumer online store integration.
The Company represents and sells a growing number of quality products and international brands from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Europe, UK and South America, selling online and directly to consumers with the technology and sales infrastructure necessary for products and brands to sell at scale.

In addition to ongoing business operations, RLG expanded the development and roll out of its technology platform marketplace and launched its new direct-to-consumer food store in October 2021 for which it experienced strong customer demand and growth in sales through the Quarter, however operations were impacted by supply chain delays, which have been resolved. Additional product sales have now been pushed into the March Quarter (Q3 FY2022) as demand remains strong and product availability limitations have been overcome.
RLG's new Pinduoduo1 fresh produce store, achieved good sales growth and customer acquisition, reaching Top 10 Store status by the end of the Quarter with strong sales performance expected to contribute to revenue growth in Q3 FY2022 and beyond.
Pinduoduo1 is China's largest online shopping platform in terms of the number of active users, totalling over 850 million1, with RLG's store and marketplace platform connecting farmers and distributors with consumers directly through an interactive shopping experience in a combination of group buying and social shopping where users can share their purchases on social media and can form a team to achieve a lower purchase price for shoppers and drive sales volume for RLG.
Revenue for the Quarter was $3.75m, which was slightly lower than the previous Quarter primarily due to supply chain delays in product being delivered which has been resolved and as such, the Company is expecting to achieve an increase in revenue in the coming quarter.
The Company received its first sales order for products from new investor and sales channel, CCTG, in December 2021, which is expected to convert to revenue and cash receipts in Q3 FY2022.
On 30 December 2021, shareholder approval was provided for the placement of shares in the Company to new China-based sales channel, the China Cross Border Trading Group consortium (collectively

"CCTG") at $0.026, representing a 24% premium to the closing share price that day, raising $1,000,000 before costs.
The strategic placement to China-focussed sales channel, China Cross Border Trading Group ("CCTG"), was done in conjunction with the appointment of CCTG to market, sell and introduce RLG's portfolio of products to new sales and retail channels in China. CCTG's role is also to identify and advise of products requested by channels and in high demand, which RLG will seek to supply.

Quarter on Quarter FY21 to FY22. Q2 FY22 saw a slight decline from prior Quarter due to supply chain delays, with this revenue moving into Q3 FY22
Growing Revenue, Increasing Efficiency, Ongoing Cost Management to Drive towards Profitability
The Company recorded $3.85m unaudited revenue for the Quarter with cash receipts of $3.75m.
RLG received net proceeds from the issue of securities to newly established sales channel, CCTG, of $989k.
The Company had a net positive operating cashflow for the Quarter of $765k.
RLG closed the Quarter with cash of $3.9m plus receivables (net of liabilities), prepayments to deliver future revenue totalling $1.5m plus inventory, providing RLG a strong working capital position totalling $5.8m, which is up 26% from the prior Quarter.
Additional sales channels added in co-operation with CCTG places the Company well for sales growth in the coming Quarter.
