Full Year Financial Highlights (Year ended 5/31/23, unaudited):

• Revenue increased to $45.4 million for the Full-Year FY2023 up from $0.2 million in comparable period of 2022. This was driven by organic growth of existing operations, growth in number of customers, and acquisitions made during the year.
• Gross Profits increased to $20.9 million in FY2023 up from $173,651 during FY2022. During the year the company completed a lower margin data alignment and engineering deal that projects to substantially reduce future expenses. A return to gross margins in the 80% range for FY2024 is anticipated.
• Operating expenses, including $13.1 million in Research and Development, increased to $24.4 million compared to $1.1 million for FY2022. This was the result of the expansion of staff for sales, marketing, engineering and support. Expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased nine-fold during FY 2023, suggesting profitability in FY 2024.
