Summary of expenditure
The Company’s actual expenditure for the quarter ended 31 March 2020 was $209K less than estimated. The variance is attributable to the following key matters:
-
research and development costs were $63K lower than estimated primarily due to some of the Company’s major suppliers having agreed to restructure the Company’s payment terms (see Business Updated included in ASX release of 31 March 2020);
-
expenditure on sales and marketing was $44K lower than estimated due to a general reduction in expenditure across the business (see Business Updated included in ASX release of 31 March 2020);
-
salary and consultancy fees were $96K lower than estimated due to the completion of a strategic headcount reduction (see Business Updated included in ASX release of 31 March 2020).
