Q3 2022 Financial Results
For the quarter ended August 31, 2022, sales increased by $1,528,528 to $1,533,893 from $5,365 for the comparative quarter due to the continued development of strategic acquisitions IndieFlix, iGEMS, and DCU.

Gross profit increased by $559,471 to $512,909 for the quarter ended August 31, 2022 from a loss of $46,562 for the comparative quarter. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the Company acquiring IndieFlix and DCU which had, and continue to have, positive gross profit prior to the acquisition and the Company writing off three license agreements during 2021 that no longer needed to be amortized during the current quarter.

Operating expenses increased by $1,088,196 to $2,095,841 for the quarter ended August 31, 2022 from $1,007,645 for the comparative quarter, principally due to the compensation expense related to the significantly increased headcount resulting from the acquisitions of IndieFlix and DCU.
