Jaxsta Pro Tiers Launch
-
The company has been focused on its return to paid timeline for Jaxsta Pro. The Company provided Jaxsta Pro during the pandemic to continue working with the industry to identify the needs and improvements to the service without losing any momentum. The strategy helped increase membership to over 99,000 as of today.
-
The Company added key talent to its team in the last few months in order to complete the enhancement to the Jaxsta Pro service for its tiered service launch. The release is now scheduled for the 27th of July 2021. During the quarter there were 6 development releases within Jaxsta Pro in preparation for the relaunch, addressing many additional features and enhancements.
-
Beth Appleton, former General Manager and Senior Vice President Marketing Australasia at Warner Music Australia has recently joined as our Chief Marketing Officer, and she is leading the team and the associated marketing campaign for launch.
-
Our focus in the last quarter has been gathering further insights from our membership. Our focus on profile users and organic results have yielded improved results in the last quarter, evidenced by accelerated membership uptake this quarter, from 5,764 in Q3 to 8,306 in Q4. The increase was driven by improvements to our organic search campaign and the integration of the Songtradr Neighbouring Rights service. Our membership increased by 3,991 during June alone, reflecting the impact

of the marketing campaign optimisation. The increase will feed into the return to paid campaign to keep membership growing at the accelerated pace.
-
The launch of the new Jaxta Pro tiered subscriptions will commence with its two initial tiers, Jaxsta Pro Core and Jaxsta Pro Plus. The Jaxsta Pro Plus paid tier is targeted at the individual creatives and will include new features not previously available. Free members will be able to continue with a Jaxsta Pro Core subscription, which will have a reduced feature set to what is available on the free subscription today. Additional tiers aimed at business and enterprise clients will launch in subsequent releases.
Data Solutions
-
The Company has been focused on promoting and identifying the top user cases for its commercial API. The sales process for the API is long as we work with customers to meet their unique requirements.
-
The Company had commenced the revenue of previously signed deals in May. The Company has recently signed two more deals in July, bringing our signed contracts to five and will be looking to have revenue from all five deals in the coming quarter.
-
The Songtradr API has operated for the quarter and revenues from the use will come as the collections are completed by Songtradr. The entire end to end process can be lengthy depending on the client and complexity of their portfolio.
Summary of cash position and expenditure

The company had operating net cash burn of $1.611 million which was a 20% increase on the previous quarter’s $1.339 million operating net cash burn, mostly due to the increase in personnel costs as we increase the size of the development and marketing teams for the Jaxsta Pro relaunch. During the quarter, the business funded its operating activities from its working capital reserves.
-
When looking at the Company’s cash expenditure for the quarter and comparing it to the quarter ending 31 March 2021, the company focused on ramping up the resources required for the return to paid for Jaxsta Pro. This resulted in a mix of changes that drove the final cash flow level:

-
There was an increase of $84K in Platform Development & Data expenditure as part of contract extensions with our data partners;
-
There was a reduction of $30K in general and administrative costs;
