Wednesday 3 May 2017

1. Highlights

   The IOT Group Limited (ASX: IOT) ("IOT Group" or "the Company") is pleased to update its shareholders on its activities.

   The key points are:

   • Trial Purchase Orders being converted into commercial quantities

     • Confirmed Purchase Orders of 2,600 ROVA for immediate delivery

     • Expect further and larger Purchase Orders over next month

   • Positive discussions with other US retailers

     • Expect up to 20,000 stores carrying ROVA and Air-Selfie by end of CY2017

   • ROVA & AirSelfie receiving extremely favourable response

     • Most retail accounts plan to stock both products

2. Background

   IOT was formed and listed in March 2016 by combining a number of entities with various IOT related products. IOT's initial feature product was the ROAM-e.

   By 4Q CY2016 it was clear to the IOT Board that the ROAM-e unique concept of coaxial exposed blades was being impacted by a trend towards "safe drones" with enclosed blades. As such IOT sought to re- orientate its product line with the introduction of ROVA. At this stage ROAM-e is still in development, to be re-positioned and compete with conventional outdoor quadcopters.

   The market opportunity and the distribution network created by the introduction of the ROAM-e is now being exploited by the launch of the ROVA and AirSelfie

   Over the last 6 months as part of its restructure, IOT has undertaken a number of steps including:

   • Discontinuation of non-core products;

   • Cleaning up outstanding legacy issues from previous strategy; as well as

   • Reducing staff numbers by nearly two thirds.

   The recently released March 2017 Quarterly Results includes a number of significant impairments and redundancies but leaves the company "legacy free", with a heavily reduced cash burn going forward.

   The objective is to allow IOT to concentrate on what it believes to be one of the most significant opportunities in the IOT market place.

3. Products

   IOT is currently focussing on two products - ROVA and AirSelfie. In summary, ROVA's features include:

   • Positioned as a selfie drone for lifestyle use vs a technical drone for enthusiasts;

   • Designed with safety in mind. Enclosed propellers and unique obstacle avoidance technology allow consumers to fly with confidence;

   • Easy to fly from the bespoke ROVA app, ROVA provides superb photography with it's 12mp

     camera and 1080 @60fps recording;

   • ROVA is priced at a very accessible price point for new users to enter the drone market. It is almost half the price of the most serious competitor; and

   • ROVA's unique features and benefits are currently being marketed in a way that focuses on the role it can play in people's lives vs the technical specs of a drone

     In summary, AirSelfie's key features are:

   • The only portable flying camera that can be integrated into a mobile phone cover;

   • A portable power bank allows 20 charges. Each charge provides 3 minutes of flying time;

   • Small and lightweight - fits into the palm of your hand;

   • Stable flying and hovering due to it's sophisticated sensors;

   • Easy to fly from the bespoke app; and

   • Stylish Italian design with an anodised aluminium frame

4. IOT USA

   Over the last 6 months IOT has sought to put in place a business model and practices consistent with

   its move from being a "tech innovator" to being a "profit focused" company.

   The previous arrangement with TopTech LLC for US sales and marketing created an unprofitable multi commission structure within the transaction process between the US agents, Top-Tech LLC and IOT.

   During the March 2017 Quarter IOT re-negotiated its agreement with Top Tech LLC to build the distribution channels in the US. This arrangement simultaneously cancels all other agreements with TopTech LLC and Terrapin Ventures.

   The new US distribution arrangements benefit IOT and its shareholders, by focussing the US team on margins and profitability rather than solely upon sales commission. IOT have established the US entity, IOT Group USA LLC ("IOT USA"). The original Top-Tech team are now 30% shareholders of the IOT USA.

   Bryan Corlett has become Chief Executive Officer of the US sales office and now works exclusively for IOT USA. IOT USA's Managing Members are majority controlled by IOT Group Ltd representatives.

5. Distribution Network

   Based on the Accounts that have been opened with a number of large North American retailers, ROVA and the AirSelfie are expected to be ranged up to 20,000 retail outlets plus three major online retailers across North America by the end of 4Q CY2017.
