Brace168VIT CS

The growth in receipts from customers reflects the delivery performance of the business. However, operating expenses reflect investment in growth with higher staff costs due to new hires, and further consolidation of VITCS operating costs.

During the quarter, the Company made payments to related parties of $190K which were comprised of usual executive and non-executive director fees, salaries, and consultancy payments.

Cipherpoint Executive chairman Mr Ted Pretty said "Pleasingly the March quarter saw record customer receipts. Whilst revenues reflected the usual seasonal variation there is recognition by the Board that the Company needs to deliver more. The Board will use the June quarter to insist on better sales performance and will aggressively pursue a project to review all costs (including Board overhead) in the business with the view to accelerate the move to cash flow breakeven."

Activities Report and Business Update

The demand for cyber security and data protection solutions and services remained strong. During the March quarter:

• • Both Brace168 and VITCS continued to consolidate their relationships with existing customers and commit resources to building their sales pipeline.

• • Brace continued to directly build on existing relationships securing 5 contract extensions and uplifts with existing customers covering project work, end point protection and extensions to managed detection and response services. It also secured 2 new pen tests through its partner channels.

• • VITCS secured 8 new contracts, 5 with Tasmanian Business Enterprises and Agencies and 3 with local business customers comprising both project work as well as manages secures bubbles.

Outlook

The Company continues to see positive tailwinds in the growing market for cyber security services as the Federal Government and the private sector ramp up their investment in cyber protection. The Company intends to continue to build out its managed security services business with specific focus on driving organic revenue growth in the SMB segment. The Company will also make progress in deploying an additional SOC in Tasmania where we have seen demand for cyber services increase.

The Board has observed that asset prices for potential targets remain high so it will only entertain acquisitions that are accretive when and if they arise.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board.
