Advanced Braking Tech putting up some good quarterly numbers and making a case they're not horribly positioned with regard to Trumpian Tariffs.

@Lewisthe headlines were all good and the only real negative for me was that they were cashflow negative for the quarter. It looks like this is mainly from increased receivables but these have been going up now for the last two quarters, need to keep an eye on this to ensure that this does actually turn into cash. They also have to repay the $600k short term debt they drew down in December, so the next quarter might not produce as much cash either.

They also doubled there staff costs this quarter runnings at $1m/quarter now, presumably related to the increased sales and production of the Brakeiq product, but no real commentary about this.

Also good to see them highlight Canada is their main export market and that they will avoid most of the first order trade tariffs effects.

@Slideup Great points. They recently changed up how they recognised Research and Development Tax Incentive Income to only recognise it annually, which has made comparing apples with apples hard (for me anyway) on a quarterly historic basis. It also flagged how much heavy lifting that incentive is doing WRT the profit margin. Another thing to keep an eye on.

@Lewis good points on the R&D rebate, but I think this is valid to include as income as they are doing real product R&D. From memory I think this stops being cash income when they make more than $50m revenue annually, after which it becomes a tax rebate rather than cash back. Still a while away before that happens though.
