"The handful of late-stage deals could bring over $10 million in new potential bookings near term with the long term total pipeline now north of $100 million.

Q3 F2023 Operational Highlights

• Green Proving Ground program for the United States General Services Administration, which operates approximately 1,800 federally owned buildings is proceeding well.

• In Q3, strategic direct sales efforts continued to grow with system bookings and new sales opportunities in the pipeline.

Q3 F2023 Financial Highlights

Financial summary for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

¹ Gross margin is based on a blend of both equipment and installation revenue.
² Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. See EBDITA Reconciliation for details.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $470,310 compared with $1,026,412 in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The lower revenue during Q3 of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to a timing issue. Supply chain challenges, resulted in delayed product deliveries to customers, which has pushed some deliveries.

Gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 22%, compared with 5% in same quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in gross margin experienced during Q3 of fiscal 2023 was due to an increase in average selling price of SmartGATE units. The Company continues to drive toward 40%+ gross margins as revenue scales.

The Company's operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1,128,015, down from $1,542,575 in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The primary cause for the decrease was lower salaries and consulting costs as a result of internal cost-cutting measures.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was negative $883,821, compared with negative $1,237,352 in same quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1,018,568, compared with a net loss of $1,492,181 in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. A decreased operating expense in Q3 of fiscal 2023 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2022 resulted in a lower net loss.
