Management Commentary

Doug Dyment, President and CEO, commented, "Fiscal Q3 revenue represents the highest third-quarter revenue in Gatekeeper's history. Our strong financial performance in recent quarters has allowed us to increase investment in our people and business infrastructure in alignment with our new product offerings and expected growth. We have ramped up our sales and marketing expenses by approximately 50% and during this calendar year we will be presenting our solution suite at approximately 50 industry trade shows throughout North America. We have launched several new products and established a data center for our AI-based video analytics hosted service offerings.

In the school segment, we announced $3 million in orders for Mobile Data Collectors (MDCs) and video on 1,400 school buses during the quarter. School districts are embracing our video analytics software offerings, and our sales team is focused on the importance of wirelessly connected MDCs and these offerings. We believe that interest by school districts in video analytics is quickly increasing in importance. Many customers have already installed video systems, but they now need help in analyzing that video efficiently. We believe we now have the solutions to help them with that.

In the transit segment, we announced a transit contract in Central Oregon to equip 77 transit vehicles with video and data solutions. Gatekeeper has also attended transit industry trade shows and has received notable interest in our product suite designed to meet the Federal Railroad Administration's new rule which requires the installation of video and crashworthy recording devices on all intercity passenger trains in the U.S. by 2027."
