Spirit is pleased to provide its first Quarterly activity report to our shareholders.

  • After re-listing on ASX on 26th June 2016 the Board and Managements focus has been to grow Spirit's core operation, whilst also seeking new acquisition opportunities. And, we continued to build out our corporate structure with the recruitment of Matthew Hobbs as Chief Operations Office and Catherine Bolch as Chief Marketing Officer.

  • Spirit finished the quarter with a cash balance of $2.1 million and a total debt of $2.19 million, meaning a net debt position of $90,000

  • The Cash from operations finished the quarter up $108,000. Capital expenditure of $239,000 for the period was shared mainly across the 24 new commercial and residential buildings added for the period, as well as the commencement of fit outs for Q2 buildings. To that end significant progress has been made toward the expected launch of a number of major residential building sites expected to go live with Spirit across Quarter 2/ 3 this financial period. Such buildings will include Southport Central, in Coolangatta and Vogue apartments in South Yarra - both represent a large potential customer base.

  • Spirit conducted a benchmark study for Net Promoter Score and received an encouraging rating of 21. This benchmark now forms part of every staff members Key Performance Indicator, from the Managing Director, down.

Throughout the quarter a significant level of industry, media and government discussion was held surrounding the margin impact experienced by Telco's pertaining reselling of the NBN. The following forms a summary of the key difference between Spirit's business model and that of re-selling NBN:

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) pay a monthly 'Connectivity Virtual Circuit' (CVC) fee to connect their network to the NBN. Note CVC (sometimes known as AGVC) is usually payable when ISPs connect their networks to third party networks (such as the NBN) on a wholesale basis. The more subscribers an ISP has and the more data those subscribers consume; the more CVC capacity an ISP would need to buy.

NBN-based ISPs are left in a 'catch 22' situation, as too much oversubscription causes poor network performance and hence customer complaints. Too little oversubscription and the ISP's margin is severely eroded.

Spirits' main product offering is UFi (which stands for 'Ultra-Fast internet'). Spirit does not incur a CVC cost when offering UFi services, because the network is managed by Spirit end-to-end (as opposed by being

managed by NBN and reseller). This allows for much higher margins than currently possible on the NBN.

It also means Spirit can offer a much faster service!
