    0 Dear ShareholderSpacetalk Limited (ASX:SPA) is pleased to present you with our highlights for the 2023 calendar year.It has been a period of significant change for your company, At the start of the year, Spacetalk was predominantly a child’s wearables business.

These stronger numbers have your Company on the path towards cash flow breakeven.Operational highlightsSpacetalk significantly revamped its leadership team – both at the board and senior management levels - over the course of calendar 2023.

The period saw a 35% uplift in annual recurring revenues, headed by Spacetalk Mobile subscriptions. Revenue from continuing operations surged by 100% to $3.6m.Some of the other key strategic and operational highlights of the year include:

      • An increased emphasis on value-add features and promotions

    • The successful restructuring of Spacetalk’s loan facilities with Pure Asset Management, with covenants favourably amended.
    • Commitments secured for a single tranche Placement of $0.76 million to professional and sophisticated investors in August 2023; Spacetalk also set in motion a partially underwritten non-renounceable Rights Issue to provide extra funding for its growth initiatives.
    • The launch of a mobile first family safety and tracking Family App, targeting the older tween and teens market segments. The app represented another milestone in Spacetalk’s plans to create an ecosystem of products that provide safety and peace of mind to their users.
