Additional Information

Additional information relating to the Company is on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com.

Overview

Pool Safe Inc. was a privately held corporation, incorporated on October 27, 2011 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). On April 24, 2017, Pool Safe completed its listing requirements and became a public company trading on the TSX-V.

On August 30, 2022, Pool Safe announced the appointment of Mr. Nils Kravis as Executive Chairman of the Company. His leadership and extensive branding and marketing experience in the hospitality industry is and will be of significant benefit as Pool Safe continues to grow and expand its client base.

Since joining, Mr. Kravis has completed a strategic review and developed, with management, a marketing plan that included rebranding and relaunching the PoolSafe product along with introducing a new CRM (customer relationship management) platform that will allow the Company to develop an ideal sales process map that will lead

to new marketing and sales initiatives. The third key initiative he is introducing is a software upgrade of the Pool Safe operating software that will make it an interactive IOT (internet of things) device.

The Company has hired 7 Communications to develop a fresh suite of marketing tools for a rebranded PoolSafe product including:

  • Development of a new, foundational brand platform that consists of a strategic narrative, a compelling product name and a complete identity package;
  • A redesign of the website that will leverage the new brand platform, feature enhanced content and focus on inbound lead conversion, and;
  • Creation of complimentary, photographic, video and brochure content that can be leveraged in multiple sales channels.

On November 15, 2022, the PoolSafe was rebranded as "LounGenie" and the product was relaunched at the IAPPA Expo (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) in Orlando, Florida.

The Company has also contracted with Tangible Words, who are HubSpot implementation specialists to lead the CRM development and implementation. The Marketing Hub software will help Pool Safe grow traffic, convert more visitors and run complete inbound and outbound marketing campaigns at scale. Sales Hub CRM software will help Pool Safe get deeper insights into prospects and automate repetitive tasks and close more deals, faster.

Pool Safe drives incremental revenues for hotels, resorts, waterparks and cruise lines, while increasing the guest experience and satisfaction. The premium multi-purpose LounGenie product is a functional piece of furniture installed in VIP cabanas and exclusive indoor and outdoor lounge areas and premium seating. The LounGenie features a service call button, a lockable compartment for guest electronics and valuables, a USB solar panel charger as well as an ice bucket and beverage holders. These features fill a need in their guests' out of room experiences and create multiple resort revenue sources from daily rentals and incremental food and beverage sales. LounGenie is a solutions-based approach to driving revenue for their guests while providing a product that fulfils people's security and service needs and wishes.

The Company's primary source of revenue comes from its revenue share partnerships. Under this model Pool Safe and its clients create a partnership through a three or four-year Revenue Share Agreement ("RSA"). There is no upfront capital cost to the Company's client/partners and but rather the revenue earned through VIP seating or cabana rentals is shared. With this, the Company also offers a data broadcast system, which includes a touch screen application installed in the client/partners food and beverage area and the call button on each LounGenie. The touch screen alerts their staff when a guest has pressed the LounGenie call button. Each LounGenie is unique, thus enabling the Company's client/partners to respond directly to their guests needs. The LounGenie also provides for branding and customization opportunities. Each LounGenie can be equipped with a branded lift-lid, a branded safe door and media wrap. In summary, the LounGenie provides its client/partners with additional revenue streams including product rental fees within VIP areas, an increase in food and beverage orders as well as optional media advertising. The Company also sells the LounGenie unit outright.

During 2018 Pool Safe developed new hardware and software technology which enables two-way communication between the LounGenie, its data base gateway and the Cloud. Throughout 2022 and into Q1 2023, Pool Safe actively explored the best path forward for future development of its communications technology. With proceeds from its 2023 debenture financing, the Company is now in the process of upgrading the LounGenie software and firmware to enable two-way data transfers and to make the LounGenie an IoT (internet of things) device. As an IoT enabled appliance, the LounGenie will be able to collect usage information and deposit it into an archive in the Cloud, for later mining and potential monetization. The new software will also be able to monitor and manage battery health of the LounGenie and interior/exterior temperatures, which will allow for suggestive selling push notifications. For

the Company's portfolio of current and future revenue share partnerships, the LounGenie's food and beverage long range, low power, wireless connectivity technology ("LoRa") facilitates a wider service coverage area. Unlike WiFi, which has a 100-foot range, the LoRa technology has a range of up to 1.2 kilometres and is embedded within the LounGenie and does not require the property to add or make changes to their current infrastructure. Pool Safe Inc. will continue to add new services to its already feature-rich design.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators that the Company uses to manage the business and evaluate its financial results and operating performance include new client additions, net investment in equipment, revenues, average yields, operating expenses and net income. The Company evaluates its performance on these metrics by comparing the actual results and normalized results to management budgets, forecasts and prior period performance.

Recent Events

In May 2021, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement for a senior secured loan of $500,000. The Company issued 1,600,000 warrants in conjunction with the Senior Secured Loan. The loan was due December 31, 2022 bearing interest at 12% per annum. The warrants were valued at $24,598 using a Black-Scholesvaluation option model and are considered a cost of issuance. The warrants are being accreted against the loan balance, as interest, over the term of the loan. This loan is subordinate only to the revolving line of credit. On January 9, 2023 the TSX Venture Exchange accepted an amendment with respect to the Company's $500,000 senior secured loan. Pursuant to the amendment, the repayment date of the debenture and the expiry date of the bonus warrants were extended until Dec. 31, 2023.

On July 13, 2022 the Company concluded an agreement with Intrexa Ltd. to amend the parties' Credit Agreement by increasing the line of credit to $3.5 million from the current $1 million. The Amendment is at a decreased interest rate of 8% annually from 10% and includes a multi-year term extension.

On August 31, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the first tranche of a previously announced non- brokered debenture financing, being the issuance of 675 Debenture Units for gross proceeds of $675,000. On November 10, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the final tranche of the financing, being the issuance of 130 Debenture Units for gross proceeds of $130,000. Each Debenture Unit consists of (a) one $1,000 face value debenture ("Debenture"), and (b) 28,500 common share bonus warrants of the Company (the "Financing Warrants"). The Debentures mature thirty-six months from the date of the issuance, and bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Debenture Financing (the "Closing Date"). If at any time the Common Shares trade at higher than $0.15 per Common Share (on a volume weighted average basis) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days (the "Early Expiry Event"), the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Financing Warrants by providing the holder with written notice of an Early Expiry Event (the "Early Expiry Notice"). The period whereby the holder is entitled to exercise any portion of outstanding Financing Warrants shall expire 30 calendar days following the date on which the company provides Early Expiry Notice to holders. Furthermore, if a portion of the Debentures are repaid during the first year following the Closing Date, a proportional number of the Financing Warrants shall have their term reduced to the later of one year from the Closing Date and 30 days from repayment of that portion of the Debenture. The lead investor (the "Lead Investor") of the Debenture Financing has their Financing Warrants expire on the date that is 37 months after the Closing Date. The Lead Investor shall also have an Early Expiry Date of 60 calendar days following the date on which the Company provides Early Expiry Notice.

On June 1, 2023, the Company announced the closing of a $420,000 tranche of the non-brokered debenture financing, being the issuance of 420 Debenture Units. On June 30, 2023, the Company announced the closing of a

Pool Safe Inc. | Management Discussion & Analysis - September 30, 2023

$670,000 second tranche of the non-brokered debenture financing, being the issuance of 670 Debenture Units. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company announced on July 6, 2023, the closing of a third and final tranche of $50,000 of the non-brokered debenture financing, being the issuance of 50 Debenture Units.

In the 2021 year the Company added 262 new LounGenie units into operation with revenue share partners. In addition, the Company and its partners renewed several Revenue Share Agreements ("RSAs") for an additional three years. In the first nine months of 2022 the Company installed a further 330 units into service with revenue share partners as well as upgraded many LounGenie units, at partner sites, with new locks and doors.

The Company renewed an existing RSA for an additional four years with 60 new LounGenie units which were installed at three Caribbean sites in Q1 2023. The Company added 123 new RSA units throughout the United States in H2 and at the beginning of Q3, there was an additional 101 new LounGenie units delivered to a partner site in Colorado. In the first nine months of 2023 and at September 30, 2023, the Company has 847 LounGenie units in service. The Company has been building an order book for new LounGenie units and once its software and hardware development is completed, the Company will start delivering on the backlog of new partnerships.

In Q2 2023, the Company launched the development of new LounGenie software and hardware which it expects to have fully tested and completed in November 2023. Each LounGenie will become an IOT device that will connect to a computer gateway using the Company's existing LORA technology. The LounGenies will now provide the Company with real-time data usage information as well as enable remote deployment of new software upgrades. This plug and play solution will also allow for remote configuration and monitoring. To monitor, the Company simply logs into a private and secure portal from its Canadian head office. In addition, the new software and hardware will enable the Company to scale its deployments and grow without limitations.

The Company continues to have a very strong and favorable response to its LounGenie product and expects it could place into service up to 1,000 new units over the next year.

Three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022

The net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $116,394 (September 30, 2022 -$170,515).

Revenue increased in Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022 as more units were added into service. The Company continues to experience significant interest in its product during the quarter, which is expected to result in significantly more units in service in the near future. Management continues to believe that these assets will deliver future profits as they enter service with its revenue share partners. Revenue sharing opportunities continue to be the driver of greater future sales.

Sales of $487,181 in Q3 2023 increased compared to $331,925 in Q3 2022. The increase was due to a combination of more units in service, more units in seasonally favourable geographics as well as greater travel by consumers.

The Cost of Sales of $190,469 in Q3 2023 was up compared to $220,471 in Q3 2022. Greater RSA units in service created increased depreciation. Also, the ramp up in demand for units has increased labour costs in the COGS as compared to Q3 2022.

Operating expenses were $413,106 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022 - $281,969). Greater corporate activities were the primary drivers for the increase in operating expenses in the 2023 quarter. Significant differences in in the comparable quarters include:

  • Advertising and promotion increased as operations returned to pre-COVID levels.
  • Interest expense increased as debt increased.

Nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022

The net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $507,627 (September 30, 2022 - $619,304).

COVID reduced revenues in the 2022 period. Operating costs have started to return to more normal levels in anticipation of increased revenues and increased opportunities to place additional revenue share assets with our partners. Recent revenue receipts indicate that the business levels of our partners are returning to pre-COVID levels.

  • $221,096) and receivables of $287,934 (December 31, 2022 - $33,343). The working capital at September 30, 2023 was mostly created by the increase in cash through long term debts. Management will need to raise cash through a combination of equity, debenture financings, and financing arrangement for future product sales, to leave the Company with sufficient funds to meet its obligations and short-term working capital requirements, and to accomplish its short-term plans. The Company plans to continue to monitor closely its use of its available cash. The Company will require substantial additional capital to fund the continued growth and expansion of the business.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company's ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise equity or debt financing or through the sale of its products at a profit. Since inception the Company has incurred losses which as of September 30, 2023 totaled $6,168,520. In addition, the Company had working capital in the amount of $8,614 at September 30, 2023. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. These circumstances cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. These adjustments could be material.

Capital lease obligations were reduced as the term of the lease progressed. Debt increased with draws against the revolver credit facility and new loans. The Company makes quarterly payments of 45% of RSA revenue, so much of that facility is expected to be repaid in the next 12 months. Debenture loans of $1,945,000 are included as a long-term liability. Interest expense in 2023 reflects accretion of warrants issued as a cost of debt, which reports as interest expense.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments and that the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

Dependence on Key Employees

The Company's business and operations are dependent on retaining the services of a small number of key employees. The success of the Company is, and will continue to be, to a significant extent, dependent on the expertise and experience of these employees. The loss of one or more of these employees could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not maintain insurance on any of its key employees.

Capital Management

The Company considers its capital to consist of shareholders' equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the manufacture, distribution, and sale of the "PoolSafe". The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for Management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's Management to sustain future development of the business. Management will need to raise additional cash through a combination of equity and debt, to finance current and future operations, as the Company is not yet self-sustaining.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no significant changes in the Company's approach to capital management in the period ended September 30, 2023. The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

To the best of management's knowledge, there are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Risk Management

The Company has risk management processes in place to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks it assumes in conducting its business activities. These risks include credit, liquidity, interest rate, and various sources of operational risk. The Company's approach to the management of risk has not changed.

Outlook and Economic Conditions

The Company's principal objective is a continuation of managed growth, developing quality new business opportunities while maintaining high development standards. The Company is well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities and to meet increased competition through its experienced management and staff, coupled with its substantial capital and borrowing capacity. We continue to look for opportunities to introduce new product development.

The Company's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, as evidenced by the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19.
