Accelerating Customer Activity

Accelerating customer activity is increasing cumulative gross merchandise value ("GMV") transacted on the MineHub platform. MineHub achieved GMV of US$11.5 billion of commodities transacted on its platform in the nine months ended October 31, 2024, compared to US$9.6 billion of commodities transacted on its platform in the nine months ended October 31, 2023.

MineHub is pleased to report progress toward expansion in Asia:

• On September 26, 2024, the Company announced that it signed an agreement with its first Chinese smelting company (the "Smelter") as a user of MineHub's Trade Management Platform. This marks an important milestone in the Company's expansion into the Chinese copper market. With the largest smelting capacity in the world and a robust domestic manufacturing supply chain, China is a critical market for the global copper ecosystem.
• On October 16, 2024, the Company announced the expansion of its commercial agreement with Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo"), to include all of Sumitomo's non-ferrous metals business. This milestone solidifies the successful relationship between the companies and unlocks new opportunities for growth beyond copper markets, where MineHub has been focused to date. Expansion into additional metals markets is expected to be a key driver in potential future revenue growth for the Company.
• On November 26, 2024, the Company announced that it signed an agreement with Elane Technology Co. Limited ("Elane"), a prominent logistics technology provider based in Beijing, China, and owner of CargoGo, a major visibility platform serving 57 China based Fortune Global 500 companies. This strategic partnership will leverage the strengths of both companies to unlock enhanced shipment tracking and visibility capabilities across commodity markets in Asia. MineHub has partnered with one of Elane's premier visibility platforms, CargoGo, to enable its ability to serve its increasing customer base in Asia. The integration of MineHub's cloud-based platform with CargoGo's advanced logistics solutions will enable seamless, secure sharing of data between the two platforms.

Corporate Updates

On August 1, 2024, the Company announced a strategic partnership and share exchange with Abaxx Technologies Inc. ("Abaxx"). The companies are partnering to explore a wide range of commercial and product collaboration opportunities to drive digitization more broadly within the commodities markets. The share exchange closed in two tranches on August 23, 2024 and September 9, 2024, with Abaxx now holding approximately 10.83% of MineHub on an outstanding basis.

On November 18, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a letter of intent with Abaxx, wherein Abaxx will increase its strategic ownership of MineHub to a 19.99% interest in the capital of the Company. Abaxx will acquire 8,810,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.35 per share, in exchange for $3,083,500 in cash or the issuance of 237,192 Abaxx common shares at Abaxx's sole election prior to closing. The transaction is expected to close on or before December 31, 2024, and is subject to the approval of the TSXV. MineHub subsequently entered into the definitive purchase agreement in respect of the sale of its common shares to Abaxx, as announced on December 5, 2024.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

MineHub's third quarter fiscal 2025 revenue was $402,211. This represents a decrease of $248,766 compared to the prior year, as the Company has successfully transitioned to a recurring SaaS subscription revenue model rather than pursuing one-off professional services fee arrangements that occurred in fiscal 2024.

MineHub recorded a net loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the same period last year. This increase of $412,615 was primarily due to changes in other income and expenses as net loss from operations improved by $33,353.

Year to Date Financial Highlights

MineHub recorded revenue of $1.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, an increase of 19% as compared to revenue of $1.4 million generated in the prior year. SaaS revenue increased by $310,877 as a result of both increasing revenue from existing customers and new customer growth. Growth in SaaS revenue was able to more than compensate for a decrease in professional services revenue.

Net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 was $4.7 million, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to improved costs and increased revenue, partially offset by non-recurring other income in the prior year.
