Company Highlights for the Fiscal Quarter Ended October 31, 2021

The following is a summary of the key business highlights for the Company for the quarter ended October 31, 2021: 

• Finalized an agreement with Raytheon Intelligence and Space (“RIS”) wherein RIS will provide $2 million USD in non-dilutive cash funding under the Government of Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits (“ITB”) program for continued development of our threat detection solutions;
• Continued to build the Company’s sales funnel and backlog of customer commitments with a total backlog of over $3 million as of October 31, 2021 that we expect will result in revenue that will be recognized in future periods;
• Commercially released the next phase of its threat detection multi-sensor gateway with technology enhancements that make it increasingly accurate, flexible, deployable and practical for sports and entertainment venues;
• Introduced facility insights, a new solution built on its artificial intelligence-powered Platform, which will give security venue operators a new way to make data-driven, intelligent decisions about overall security requirements and vulnerabilities; and
• Completed a number of third-party evaluations and certifications of our Platform including certification by Semper Vigilo Security, a third party organization founded by former U.S. Federal Marshals, for four national standards in multiple industries including large stadiums and venues.
