Summary Points:
• Q2 revenue was $500k, versus less than $10k in the year-ago period as revenue from the flurry of acquisitions the company is engaged in starts to flow in. With several more acquisitions that have closed or are scheduled to close in Q3, so just with acquisitions, Spartan Capital sees revenue increasing significantly.

• A year ago, SoPa’s only operating business unit was #HOTTAB, and its business serving hotels and restaurants was negatively impacted by the pandemic.

• In 3Q last year, its Leflair business unit, purchased out of bankruptcy, relaunched and is the main driver of revenue. Leflair operates in Vietnam and offers flash sales on luxury fashion, beauty, and home products with several sales daily to keep consumer interest high. With an app relaunch soon, the re-entry into the Philippines market, the entry into the Indonesia market, and the holiday shopping season approaching, Spartan Capital sees significant growth for Leflair.

• The Q2 numbers included a full quarter of revenue from Pushkart, which offers supermarket delivery in Philippines, and Handycart, which offers restaurant delivery, also in Vietnam. Handycart plans to relaunch with a new app and new business model; Spartan Capital looks for its growth to accelerate.

• In Q2 SoPa acquired Gorilla Networks, which is a blockchain-based mobile phone service provider targeting the regional travel market. It is presently generating minimal revenue, but its app is on track to launch in the Fall, so it too should accelerate.

• During Q3, SoPa has already closed on the acquisitions of Mangan, restaurant delivery in the Philippines, and Thoughtful Media Group (TMG), social influencer marketing company covering Southeast Asia, so both should deliver partial quarters of revenue in Q3 and full quarters of revenue in 4Q. TMG generated $5.8 million in revenue in 2021, so it alone should add roughly $1.5 million to quarterly revenue.

• SoPa has also announced the acquisition of online travel provider Nusatrip in Indonesia with closing, adding a partial quarter of revenue to 3Q and a full quarter to 4Q. Regional leisure travel is picking up rapidly, although a few quarters behind the current US boom; Spartan Capital looks for this business to grow rapidly as well.

• The acquisition-driven revenue surge looks like it is only starting. Spartan Capital sees additional acquisitions as the company still had $28 million in cash on June 30, and strong organic growth from each business. Further out, as the Society Pass loyalty program is launched and synergies are realized, Spartan Capital sees even faster growth.
