2 Small-cap Stocks – YOJ and BOT

Yojee Limited

Quarterly Activity Update (30 June 2018): Yojee Limited (ASX: YOJ) released its Quarterly activity for the quarter ended 30 June 2018 wherein the group had total cash of $2.039 Mn and delivered multiple releases of its new 2.0 software which became live with customers from the middle of the quarter and we expect that it will provide new sales opportunities for the group in the upcoming period. During the quarter, the company entered into two foundational agreements with global logistics and supply chain leaders i.e., DB Schenker and UPS. Both agreements will help to increase the topline growth of the company in the forthcoming period at the back of identifying further opportunity in Asia market and Australia via collaborations and increasing technology network in the logistics sector. However, the company continues to expand its partnerships in the Asia Pacific region, the world’s largest logistics market with the objective of increasing its market share around the world. Based on aforesaid facts, the annual run-rate has improved across the quarter against the prior corresponding period (pcp) with software clients of about 25 in June 2018 from 4 in June 2017; and Yojee software of about A$129,866 in Q4FY18 from A$26,000 in Q4FY17.
