Management Commentary
Owen Moore CEO and Founder stated “the third quarter ended with record revenue and a strong balance sheet allowing the team to continue to grow revenue and backlog. We are on the cusp of rolling out our disruptive LPWA cellular solution because of strong interest from our partners. The successful pilot of this solution at Henry of Pelham Family Estate Winery in a real-world application further solidifies the disruptive nature of the technology we have created. Our distribution network of value added resellers is starting to convert pilots into revenue and the launch of our LPWAN cellular Beacon will complement our current product offering nicely and deepen our penetration into the rapidly expanding environmental monitoring and asset tracking space”.

*Additional funds of $2,149,500 were added to this cash balance based on the successful close of the equity financing after quarter end on October 11th, by way of a private placement.
