This marks the end of the financial year 2019 (FY19) for the company and the total invoices raised for the entire FY19 total to around $4.18 million, which is a marked improvement of more than 62% relative to FY18 when the company invoiced $2.574 million.

As of the end of the quarter (as at 30 June 2019), the available cash at hand was approximately $1.06 million with $850k in Aged Receivables, due from the existing clients, many of whom are Tier 1 businesses. In addition, K2fly also has $50k in Work in Progress with the existing clients, and it is scheduled to be invoiced only at the time of delivery.

During this last quarter, K2fly had also received a Research and Development (R&D) Tax refund of $82k from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

According to K2fly, Q4 FY19 has proved to be a record quarter in terms of the total invoices raised. These results for the quarter also reflect that K2fly is on the right path and its current operations are steadily moving towards achieving its key objective of growing revenue and move to net positive cashflow.

The significant uptick in the company’s financial performance can be attributed to the consistent product expansion and collaboration initiatives, that are supporting extensive market penetration and creating awareness about K2fly’s product offerings and services.
