excess of this minimum benchmark. The Company will enjoy a strong monthly cash position throughout this period and will show further significant growth and profitability during FY 2019.
As per the last company last outlook announcement, the Company is also developing reselling relationships with Synergistic partners who have incumbent customers and an ambition to modernise and build upon those relationships in our target markets. To that end, the Company can announce that Cirralto has signed a reselling agreement with Telstra whereby Cirralto products and services will be resold by Telstra. The terms of this agreement are confidential but the Company is confident it will make further announcements about the revenue impact of this agreement in line with customer successes.
These combined strategies have created strong demand for our collective products and services and the Company can already confirm a longer-‐term sales pipeline in excess of A$20M.
With the expansion of our team over the next year we would expect this sales pipeline figure to further increase.
The board of Motopia would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and now that the acquisition has completed we look forward to more consistent news flow relating to new contracts and revenue upgrades.
