The investment program also led to a decrease in the groupâs net assets to $1,634,601. Reduction in deferred revenue of $50,482 as well as a reduction in trade receivables of $504,676 led to a decrease in equity of $454,194.

KNeoMediaâs net tangible asset backing per ordinary share was reported at 0.17 cps. The Board of Directors did not propose any dividend/distribution for the period.
During the period, the company did not acquire any subsidiary entities, and there was no disposal of subsidiary entities. It broadened sales channels across the global key markets by appointing new and experienced staff, strengthening sales channels and localizing product for specific markets globally.
The company believes that despite revenue attainment being protracted due to education sales cycles, its Software as a Service (SaaS) based content built will deliver sustainable and predictable revenue streams over the long term compared to the company pursuing sales through the highly competitive consumer market. KNM is confident that its steps to establish a âtop-downâ sales model quickly will lead to a steady stream of recurring sales along with the outstanding sales receivables being paid, despite the disappointment about lack of new seat license sales as compared to the prior period.
The company has its focus to secure seat license sales in all the major international markets in H2 FY19 with priority being the U.S market.
