BOS GLOBAL Managing Director Michael Travia said, "These are extremely exciting times for BOS GLOBAL and its shareholders. The demand for software and systems which blend business process, intelligence gathering and advanced analytics to drive efficient business practices and workplace engagement is exploding. By executing on our defined strategy to develop our cloud based software product, utilising global marketing and distribution channels, and bringing together proven world class personnel, we can deliver an exceptional product. Additionally, to ensure we maximise our market position we will continue to look for complementary investments, such as Call Design, which we believe will enable us to deliver a truly global business that dominates its market sector."

Managing Director's Report:

This has been a transformational time for BOS GLOBAL following the RTO of Forte Energy NL. We have made excellent progress and continue to implement our strategy of building a software development company centred on optimising productivity in the workspace. To this end, we continue to focus on bringing the revolutionary patented BOS 360 Work Patterns Platform as a Service (PaaS) ('BOS 360') to market, which provides corporates with the ability to digitally capture individual, team and organisational work patterns. The resultant data can then be effectively utilised to increase productivity and drive efficient business practices, leading to significant cost savings, greater profitability, equity and work place harmony.

To augment and accelerate our growth, we are building a structure that involves both partnership agreements in software development and an aggressive M&A strategy to identify and acquire synergistic businesses. There is huge growth in digital transformation projects and we are positioning ourselves at the forefront of an industry providing services to corporates across the world. We live in an era where market sector workforces are under constant pressure to improve yield, productivity and value. BOS 360 is designed to provide its clients with a future-proof solution.

BOS 360 is made up of an integrated portfolio of software programmes, which will be offered both on an individual basis and as part of an all-inclusive package. BOS Automate is focused on the way digital information is managed in the work place and is powered by BOS Document, BOS Records and BOS Progress. BOS Productivity is focused on maximising the efficiency of workers' time and is powered by BOS Meet, BOS Time and BOS Pact, while BOS Integrity is focused on improving access, security and validation of work place information.

We have recruited personnel capable of delivering our business to support this period of growth. We are rapidly putting the blocks in place to leverage our market position, deliver BOS 360 and expand our product range. We have started to implement our Innovation Partnership Model, which is focused on identifying companies that have a foothold within our initial target markets of finance and government in Australia, the United Kingdom and North America, to distribute the software products, as well as building up internal capabilities to attract new clients.

We signed an agreement with Ag-I Solutions Limited ('Ag-I Solutions'), a software development and licensing business headquartered in Hong Kong, which provides the Company with BOS GLOBAL branded market-ready products. They also have a portfolio of successful, enterprise level cloud based solution products covering Records, Document, Workflow and Meeting Management, which will be BOS GLOBAL branded. Ag-I's products are highly synergistic with BOS GLOBAL's BOS 360.

Importantly we have already launched BOS Meet and BOS Automate, with 200 products subscribed for in Australia and the UK since the products were launched in December 2016 and January 2017 respectively. Additionally, to bolster the sales process we have signed re-seller agreements in both the UK and Australia, including with an Australian multinational company.

To strengthen our market position and expand our offering we recently agreed to conditionally acquire (subject to satisfactory due diligence) a 40% stake in Call Design Pty Ltd ('Call Design') for an aggregate cash and scrip consideration of £2.8 million. Call Design is a company specialising in workforce optimisation solutions by providing exceptional support, personalised training, custom software development, and consulting services primarily to the call centre industry. This is a highly synergistic investment, and will provide multiple cross-selling opportunities to both companies in line with our strategy to deliver a comprehensive business optimisation offering globally. Call Design has a significant multi-sector client base, which includes all four of Australia's major banks, leading international telecommunications companies, and blue chip insurers and governmental bodies. It has a current operational reach spanning 26 countries, including our core markets of Australia, the UK / Europe and the USA. Importantly, as a 'Platinum Partner' of Aspect, the world's leading enterprise cloud contact centre provider, Call Design specialises in the deployment, integration, training and support of one of the world's premier Workforce Optimisation platforms.

As investors will realise, this is a period of transition and growth. We are building a company that is capitalising on a rapidly expanding market, and the immense progress we have made since the RTO of the vehicle has not come without considerable effort and expense which is reflected in the interim results. We look forward to updating you as the business continues to grow and strengthen now that we are moving from the establishment to growth phase, as we remain focused on the roll out of the portfolio and identifying and making complementary acquisitions with the continued support of Innovation Corporation Limited, with whom we have a convertible loan note facility in place.

I am excited about the prospects for BOS GLOBAL. This is truly a fast-growing market with digital transformation projects at the top of corporate agendas. The collection and analysis of work patterns can both transform work practices and profitability and importantly, digitisation of knowledge can also allow human capital to be transferred seamlessly from long serving employees to new arrivals. Corporates are rapidly changing and we are ideally positioned to assist in their challenges.

Finally, I'd like to thank shareholders for their support and I look forward to updating you on developments as we rapidly grow the business.
