Quarter Highlights from the CEO

Dear Shareholders,

Please find highlights from the quarter below:

  • Revenues grew $545K to a record $2.759M or 25% QoQ

  • Company completed the acquisition of Mediaweek and Serenade Sound

  • Company announced a further acquisition of Funkified Events to be completed in the current quarter

  • Our team has worked on back end changes to reduce the cost of our Jaxsta infrastructure moving forward from the December quarter onwards

We have since completed various critical transactions in October to keep building on our growth strategy including:

  • The launch of Vinyl.com into the UK

  • Signed a two year agreement to represent Songtradr's digital advertising assets across its portfolio of brands

  • Conversion of convertible note has reduced debt by close to $1.6M and aided the acceleration of the exercise of options that has brought in $1.8M to cover the up front costs of the acquisitions

  • We are also looking forward to our AGM to further show the continued progress in our strategy

of our revenues during the quarter. We generated 81.2% of the
quarter’s revenues in the last two months of the quarter, with 50%

  • Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?

  • Answer: No, first there was a timing issue on our revenues that came late in the quarter pushing out collections to the December quarter. Our quarterly revenues were $2.7M compared to collections of $1.9M. the Company enacted cost saving measures in the previous quarters that are taking effect through this quarter and the next, in addition to the additional margins to generate from our Mediaweek acquisition.

  • Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

ASX Listing Rules Appendix 4C (17/07/20) + See chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules for defined terms.

Appendix 4C Quarterly cash flow report for entities subject to Listing Rule 4.7B

Answer: We have taken three action:

  • 1 - We have enacted cost savings in prior quarters that will continue to materialise in the coming quarter

  • 2 - We have added our Mediaweek acquisition and will complete the Funkified acquisition to improve our operating cash flows.

  • 3 - We have received $1.8M in funding from the exercise of options in October to add to our reserves.

  • Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?

  • Answer: We do. The additional funding and improved margins through our acquisitions and improved business volumes of our established business lines will improve our ongoing operations. The Company will also use its positive working capital position of $1.061M to further improve reserves.

Note: where item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.6.1, 8.6.2 and 8.6.3 above must be answered.
