Gilbert + Tobin trial commenced

During the quarter, Veriluma commenced a trial with leading Australian corporate and commercial law firm Gilbert + Tobin, to improve client outcomes by predicting risks and offering greater insight earlier. The software can be applied across a range of legalapplications.

The trial is progressing well with the software being tested for a complex advice scenario that typically involves a team of solicitors. The goal is to produce advice earlier in the cycle to their clients. The company expects to know within the current quarter how this potentially leads to an ongoing revenue stream.

Partnership focused on US Federal Government opportunities

Veriluma announced its expansion into the United States through a partnership with John Cassara and Diamond Capture Associates, LLC. John Cassara is an expert in anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. John, together with Diamond Capture, will focus on building sales opportunities within primarily the US Federal Government agencies

Business Development

The Company's business development strategy continues to be focused on three core sector areas where Veriluma sees the greatest opportunity: Defence/National Security, Legal Services and Financial Services.

Defence/National Security

Government: Veriluma signed a contract in December with the Department of Defence to build a prototype "Indicators and Warnings" model for Australia's climate and disaster preparedness effort. The contract value for the pilot project amounted to $124,525 with this prototype nearing completion with the final report to be delivered in the June quarter.

At the successful completion of the pilot program, there is an opportunity to secure a larger project in regards to the "implications of climate change", thus adding further revenue.

The company is also in various stages of development with key law enforcement and counter terrorism government agencies and departments with progress to be reported when tangible and when prudent to disclose.

Legal Services

Veriluma's partnership with Legal Logix Holdings Pty Ltd (Legal Logix) combines technology and legal expertise to provide consumer-facing applications to drive early dispute resolution. The first application focuses on family law to provide an assessment of a property settlement. Legal Logix has engaged an Australian development team to complete the application build. The development of the application is currently on track for a July launch, which opens the product for consumers to

use creating a new revenue stream for the company. Other areas of focus include will (estate) disputes, personal injury, immigration, employment and beyond Australia.

Pipeline: The company is in various stages of development in providing a prescriptive solution to 2 notable legal firms in Australia and 1 overseas. Two solutions relate to the assessment of personal injury cases.

Financial Services

During the quarter, further progress has been made on the development and marketing of SAMI, Veriluma's prototype designed to monitor the advice of Australia's 23,000 financial planners and advisors to ensure their advice is in the best interests of their clients. This in turn will deliver greater consumer trust and confidence in the financial advice sector. SAMI was a finalist in the FinTech Awards in February.

Pipeline: The company is engaged with a leading global bank and 3 Australian financial institutions to assess the potential of its software for various scenarios including the mitigation of risk and assisting with compliance.

The company looks forward to communicating the results of partnerships negotiations with local and international software and consulting companies.

CORPORATE

Sale of Western Australian Mineral Tenements

Veriluma held several legacy exploration tenements in Western Australia. The sale of these mineral tenements was finalised subsequent to the end of the quarter for an initial payment of $500,000 with a further $500,000 due should the Jaurdi Hills project delineate a JORC Inferred Resource equating to or exceeding 300,000oz Gold. The transaction included a payment of $50,000 on signing of the initial term sheet with the balance $450,000 to be transferred on signing of the long form contract which the company fully expects to be achieved by the end of May.

Quarterly Expenditure

Net operating cashflow was $585,000 during the quarter. The Net (decrease) for the quarter in expenditure as opposed to previously estimated ($970k) was due to the decision not to incur budgeted expenditure on the recruitment of additional business development and IT personnel. Additionally, a reduction in the budgeted Exploration and Evaluation expenditure occurred during the quarter, as all required committed expenditure had been met.

Estimated cash outflow for the next quarter is $651,000. Having received an amount of $52,048 relating to the Department of Defence (DoD) project in early April, expected funds from the sale of the legacy mineral tenements ($500,000) and invoiced progress payments from the DoD and current trials ($97,477), cash inflows totaling $649,500 are expected in the next quarter.

Cash

The Company's cash position at 31 March 2017 (unaudited) was $810,000. The Company anticipates it will receive a further $500,000 in total from the sale of the Jaurdi Hills mining tenements, as well as payments from DoD and current trials equating to $149,525. On this basis, the total cash available to the company for the Quarter is expected to be $1.459 million.
