The Company's SME-Edge is its comprehensive cyber-security solution that includes a fully managed network and internet traffic gateway, featuring zero-trust capabilities (see picture below). The self-contained cabinet can be easily configured to work with a Client's existing IT infrastructure and includes patented cyber-security protection that prevents information-leaking incidents caused by data breaches.

Business Expansion to the US

NERD has been expanding its business operation to the US, where the market size of the managed IT industry is multiple-times that of the Canadian side, through pursuing Merger and Acquisition (M&A) opportunities. The Company has identified potential M&A targets this past fiscal year and is working through required due diligence processes. Potential targets must share cultural and Client treatment synergies with NERD. NERD is focused on targets that will increase its customer base and provide cyber-security upgrading opportunities, relatively improving its revenue.

Insiders' Equity Holdings

Since the Company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2018, management and members of the Board of Directors have been consistently acquiring shares through the open market or private placements. The total holding of insiders is approximately 55% of the Company's total outstanding shares.

Charlie Regan, Co-Founder and CEO of NERD, comments: "According to the Cost of a Data Breach Report in 2021 by IBM, there was a $1.76M cost difference in breaches where a zero-trust approach was deployed versus undeployed. That alarming number is concrete evidence NERD is on the right track to provide unique and advanced solutions to combat cyber-criminals. We are confident that 2022 will be a breakthrough year for the Company with a number of achievements expected."
