ServTech Global Quarterly Update and Appendix 4C
ServTech Global Holdings Ltd (ASX: SVT) (“ ServTech ” or the “ Company ”), a software development and Software as a Service (‘ SaaS ’) solutions provider, presents the following report for the quarter ended on 31 December 2018.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Continued delivery of current software development contracts;
-
Repositioning complete to bring the Company close to a cash flow positive position from software development operations.
The Company is successfully developing and delivering software development solutions for renowned national and international businesses, cementing its industry position and capabilities.
The Company has successfully implemented an organisational structure capable of delivering results to its clients, leveraging the knowledge of its team consisting of 30 software development professionals, with skill sets including, but not limited to, back end and front-end PHP, database, native iOS and Android as well as UI/UX developing, designing and testing.
ServTech is a building pipeline of opportunities and expects to announce further contract awards in due course.
Services Contract with The Agency
On 10 July 2018, the Company advised that the real estate businesses sold to The Agency Group Australia Limited (“ The Agency ”) (ASX: 21 February 2018) had been successfully migrated to The Agency.
As part of the transaction, ServTech continues to deliver services and SaaS support to The Agency.
The Company has continued to provide these services to The Agency's Sell Lease Property brand, The Agency’s Mortgage and Finance Solutions and Property Management divisions. During the quarter, ServTech’s invoiced more than ~$30,000 each month for services to The Agency demonstrating that the offering has expanded beyond the scope of the initial engagement.
ServTech is currently in discussions with several real estate agencies and other corporates to provide these types of services. The Company expects to be able to report on these opportunities in due course.
Revenue from Software Development Contracts
The Company continues to provide services to Emerge Gaming Solutions Pty Ltd (“ Emerge ”) under the 2- year Services Contract Agreement to offer strategic insights and manage the development and maintenance of Emerge’s cutting-edge eSports platform Arcade X (ASX: 7 May 2018).
The agreement with Emerge is the largest development contract the Company has secured since its inception and profitably underpins the operations of the software development division for the long term.
The development team also continues to service the Real Estate Institute of WA (“REIWA”) mobile application (the “REIWA App”). As per last quarter, the REIWA App was developed and launched successfully by the development team and the Company anticipates further work to flow from this engagement.

Corporate
The sale of the real estate businesses to The Agency occurred in exchange for consideration of $950,000 payable to ServTech.
As per last quarter, the outstanding balance of the consideration totalling $550,000 was previously agreed to be received in $50,000 monthly instalments. However, with The Agency currently engaged in a significant corporate transaction, the Company has agreed for these payments to be temporarily delayed.
The Company is working closely with The Agency to agree payment of the outstanding balance in a timely manner, noting that The Agency is a key client and partner for ServTech, both now and into the future.
Company Financial Overview
Cash at the end of the quarter was ~$112,000. Post quarter end, in early January 2019, the Company banked late payments from its customers to the value of $230,000 and received a Commonwealth Government research and development tax incentive credit of $45,000 for FY2017 activities. With these amounts included, the Company's cash balance at 31 December would have been ~$387,000.
Of the ~$303,000 in cash receipts (September 2018 quarter: $282,000) during the period $115,000 related to the contract with The Agency and $182,000 related to other contracts including Emerge, REIWA, JLL and 5P Group. Only $6,000 related to finalisation of transactions for the legacy real estate businesses.
Net cash outflows from operating activities for the December 2018 quarter was ~$115,000 (September 2018 quarter: outflow of $457,000). This result continues the trend of the Company moving closer to a cashflow positive position. If the Company can secure one more long-term contract of the size of Its current contracts, then this target will be met.
Outlook
Over the past 15 months, ServTech's Board and management have been focussed on stabilising the business and concentrating resources on profitable software development and outsourced services for external clients. From a position of quarterly cash outflows from operating activities of $2,146,000 (~$715,000 a month) in September 2017, ServTech is now close to delivering a cash flow positive position with minimal liabilities.
Board and management are now tasked with driving revenue into its software development and outsourced services teams. In this regard, a pipeline of contract opportunities has been assembled, in tandem with the identification and assessment of potential complementary projects and acquisitions.
The Board is working closely with The Agency to expand the services provided to them as well as agreeing payment terms to recoup amounts owed to ServTech over a period of time which does not restrict ServTech's overall strategy.
