    Holista Colltech Limited (ASX: HCT, “Holista” or “the Company” wishes to provide the following quarterly update and commentary on its Appendix 4C for the three months to 30 September 2020.
    Summary of cash position
    The Company’s cash and cash equivalent holdings at the end of the quarter was $3.15 million as net operating cash outflow improved to $759,000 versus $1.86 million outflow in the previous quarter. Net operating cash outflow is expected to improve further over the coming quarters.

    Based on the current run rate, Holista’s cash holdings is sufficient to last for more than four quarters.
    This means the Company is adequately funded to execute on its immediate global growth plans for its collagen business, its NatShieldTM and ProtecteneTM range of disinfectant products that are using the all-natural and organic Path-Away® technology, its low glycaemic index (GI) food ingredients and the water soluble supplements range.
    As detailed in Item 6.1 of the accompanying Appendix 4C, the Company paid $149,000 in relation to overhead reimbursement costs, consulting fees and directors remuneration to its related parties and associates.
    Operating activities
    The Dietary Supplements business remained Holista’s primary income contributor and Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs of $1.08 million and Staff Costs of $686,000 were the largest expenses during the period.
    The COVID-19 outbreak continued to impact on Holista’s operations, although the Company believes the worst of the fallout from the pandemic has passed.
    In spite of the impact from COVID-19, Holista made significant advances in the September quarter to lay the foundations for is next growth phase.
    This includes appointing a USA-based Agency to secure Government and corporate contracts.
    Additionally, Holista and Global Infection Control Consultants LLC (GICC) have agreed to form a joint venture to pursue opportunities for the M3® system outside of North America.
    The M3® system works by dispensing Path-Away®, through heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC” systems to treat harmful pathogens, including air borne viruses. A feasability study is planned to ensure all risks and opportunities are managed by the Board.
    Subsequent to the end of the September quarter, Holista announced the successful testing of Path-Away® by Global Infection Control Consultants, LLC (“GICC” in a US government accredited facility with the results showing that Path-Away® kills 99.9% of the human COVID-19 virus within the required two minutes.
    GICC believes Path-Away® is the only all-natural and alcohol-free solution in the world that has achieved such a result.
    Path-Away® is the active ingredient used in Holista’s NatShieldTM and ProtecteneTM range of disinfectant products.
    Also subsequent to the end of the September quarter, Holista signed a binding agreement with US bread supplier Costanzo’s to launch the world’s lowest GI white bread, made only using natural ingredients (clean label).
    Investing and financing activities
    The $23,000 expense under cash flows for investing activities relate to deposits paid for raw materials.

    The net cash change in the cash flows for financing activities reflect the refinancing of the Company’s debt to lower interest rate facilities. Holista’s term loan currently attracts a rate of 3.5% compared to 5.77% in 2019, while its credit standby arrangements bear an interest rate of 4% versus 5.23% in 2019.
    The Company confirms compliance with Listing Rule 3.1 and that it is not aware of any other information that has not already been released to the market.
    This announcement have been approved by the Board of Directors. -Ends-
