Recent Sales Contract and Backlog Information; Production and Vendor Delays

During the second quarter of 2021 we had net bookings totaling approximately $1 million. Our backlog reduced to $8 million. Despite strong revenue in the second quarter, we continue to be affected by production and shipping delays from certain suppliers. COVID-19 is disrupting shipping around the U.S. and globally. Shipping companies are operating with reduced personnel, and there are strict screening actions in U.S. ports causing a backup of imported parts deliveries.

Organic Growth Strategy Update

As we noted in our press release of May 4, 2021, we have updated our organic growth strategy to include addressing new markets, adding new products and services, and adopting a new trade name, Surna Cultivation Technologies. In the second quarter, we continued executing against this strategy with the addition of our EnviroPro air handler line and the introduction of our architectural design services in early Q3. We encourage readers to see the MD&A section of our Form 10-Q dated and filed today, for further explanation of this and our corporate strategy.

Tony McDonald, Chairman & CEO, commented: “In the second quarter we saw the second-best quarter in our history for revenue and adjusted net income. Unfortunately, our backlog reduced with lower than anticipated bookings due to several projects’ projected closing dates pushing into the second half of 2021. However, our future project pipeline is robust with our increased product offerings and we believe that the sales momentum that has been building over the last four quarters will accelerate as we continue to execute our growth strategy.”

Pandemic Impact and Recovery

In our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the government and business pandemic measures, the Company took and continues to take measures to adjust its operations as necessary. In early 2020 the Company reduced expenses in light of decreased orders and preserved cash, many of which actions were reversed by the end of the year when orders picked up and the overall business climate improved. Because the pandemic continues in different parts of the world, and it and its effects are still affecting business in different ways in the United States, the Company continues to actively monitor its operations and sales efforts and will make adjustments to its operations as necessary.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
