During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company has continued to focus on the transition to its next phase of growth (ASX: 31 October 2022). Management has implemented critical strategic initiatives aimed at building a unique technology offering into the broader cloud microservices IT sector.

In particular, the Company continued the strategic review of its operations and existing core assets, to enable an effective transition to its next phase of growth via its stated four-step strategy (ASX: 2 May 2022, 31 October 2022, and 14 December 2022):

This overarching strategy has delivered a strong quarter, with:

  • Cash receipts growing by ~40% compared to Q3 FY22.
  • Operating expenses down by ~44% compared to Q3FY22.
  • Total revenue for the quarter was ~$1.1 million, up by ~21% compared to Q3 FY22.

M&A Overview:

  • Attained:

Following the quarter end, the Company announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Attained Group Pty Ltd (“Attained”) and its expansion beyond data centres and infrastructure. (ASX: 4 April 2023)

Attained is a profitable Australian leading managed IT and cloud services provider, deploying and managing technology solutions across a variety of enterprises to improve performance and efficiency. The acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company’s strategic move into the broader cloud microservices IT sector, leveraging the IT infrastructure foundations built over the last three years.

The acquisition of Attained is deemed an initial, strategic steppingstone for the Company, covering several technology layers, deemed critical to build an end-to-end market offering. These include, among others:

    • Cyber Security.
    • Managed IT services.
    • Cloud services.
    • Network and Voice solutions.

During the last three years, Attained has demonstrated its ability to generate profit while achieving an average of ~$3 million in unaudited revenue. Via this transaction, the Company expects to drive further growth by leveraging its IT infrastructure foundations built over the last three years.

  • Disposal of non-core assets for $3M in cash:

On 27 February 2023, the Company announced the proposed divestment of the DC Modular business assets to D Comm Infrastructure Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of D Comm Ventures Pty Ltd, a leading Web 3.0 technology company, to generate $3 million in cash (before costs).

The DC Modular business assets have been identified as non-strategic towards the Company’s tech- focussed growth objectives. The completion of this transaction is subject to conditions precedent.

The Company expects to settle this transaction by the end of the fiscal year.

Outlook:

Aligned with its transition to the next phase of growth (ASX: 31 October 2022), the Company will continue to assess several M&A growth opportunities aimed at building a unique technology offering, within the cloud microservices sector.

The Company intends to focus on critical technologies and services towards this goal, including a continuous assessment on non-critical divisions.
