Company Update

Further to the announcement of 9 November 2017, the Board of BOS GLOBAL Holdings Limited ("BOS GLOBAL" or the "Company") advises that the Company is pursuing urgent discussions with the Company's primary funding provider, Innovation Corporation Limited ("Innovation"), and the Company's broker regarding the Company's financial position and the options available for securing the required funding in excess of the minimum GBP125,000 monthly instalments due under the Innovation Convertible Note agreement to meet its liabilities and fund the ongoing business so as to retain value for shareholders and creditors. Innovation is a party to the s249D notice received by the Company (see announcement of 10 November 2017).

The Company continues to actively manage its creditor position although it would have insufficient funds to meet these liabilities should they need to be settled in full in the short-term. A summary of the Company's estimated working capital position is set out below. The Company stresses that this estimate is based on unaudited management accounts which bring with them a much lower level of reliability than an audited set of accounts(1, 2) . Consequently, the figures below should be considered indicative only.

Aged Creditors

   Invoices expected but not yet received(3)          AUD325,000 
   1-30 days since invoice                                  AUD225,000 
   31-60 days since invoice                                AUD  70,000 
   61+ days since invoice                                   AUD  60,000 
   Employee and contractor entitlements                       AUD135,000 
   Other (eg tax liabilities)                                               AUD  85,000 
   Total                                                                AUD900,000 
   Cash at bank                                                   AUD185,000

1. Values have been rounded to the nearest AUD5,000 to take account of potential fluctuations in exchange rates as BOS holds cash and pays expenses in a variety of currencies including GBP, AUD and USD

2. Please note that the figures in the working capital position estimate are prima facie based on a reference date of 27 October 2017 and as such so they have aged further since this time, however adjustments have been made to account for invoices paid since this date

   3.     This figure is an estimate only

The Company also advises that, as part of its cost cutting initiatives and more focused strategy, Bill Brooks, formerly the Global PMO Director for BOS GLOBAL, is no longer with the Company. The Company thanks Bill for his service and wishes him well in his future endeavours.

The Company cautions that the discussions with its broker and Innovation are incomplete and there can be no guarantee that there will be a successful outcome which provides the Company with the funding required. The Company also cautions that there may not be alternative sources of timely funding available outside of the groups above. Should sufficient funding not be available in the short term to meet the Company's requirements, placing the Company into administration may be a possible outcome. The Board remains committed to seeking a viable solution and will make further announcements as appropriate.
