Management Commentary

“This quarter marked the acceleration point where we ramped up our effort to move from the design phase to the roll-out phase for our mPower EV charging platform,” explained CEO Anshu Bhatnagar. “It is important to remember that we are building our revenue streams from scratch, so there is quite a bit of software, infrastructure development, and (now) equipment purchases behind that process. If you back out some large one-time charges this quarter, you will see that we are able to successfully maintain a robust R&D program funded primarily by our current cash flow. We will obviously need additional funds when we scale up our installation schedule, but we are really pleased at our prudent approach to entering a business segment that has typically been characterized by large loss-producing business models. Our model is fundamentally different than any other company in our space because it seeks to monetize more points of contact between retailers and consumers, which will enhance and maintain our competitive position. When we get our sets of mPower charging stations in the ground in the next quarter, we will be the first EV charging company to offer a true EV+ charging ecosystem – one that includes proprietary engagement and travel software representing years of development. We see continued momentum in the business and as we move into fiscal year 2022, we are focused on growth, scale, innovation and execution.”
