Key Financial Results

Results of Operations

The Company has seen sustained revenue growth on a quarter-by-quarter basis as it supports existing key customer relationships while creating new partnerships. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $998,412 compared with $165,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 502%. The increase of $832,583 for three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020 was attributable to revenue recognized from financing income associated with 45 new financing leases between 6 customers from 2020 to 2021. In comparing revenue for Q3/21 to the Company's preceding quarter which ended June 30, 2021, the Company saw an increase from $561,579 to $998,412, an increase of 78%.

Administrative expenses for three months ended September 30, 2021, were $1,089,382 compared with $357,871 for three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $381,000 in non-cash incentive compensation expense related to the grant of stock options in the third quarter of 2021 in accordance with the Company's short and long-term incentive plan, and personnel and contractor costs increasing approximately $209,000 as a result of executive compensation paid for the first time in the third quarter of 2021, increased use of third-party contactors related to increased Company operations and increased professional fees incurred for non-recurring projects and financing activities.

Selling and marketing expenses for three months ended September 30, 2021, were $71,104 compared with $63,399 for three months ended September 30, 2020.

Other Expense

Other expense for three months ended September 30, 2021, was $466,472 compared with $622,390 for three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $271,000 related to fair value changes in the Company's investment in Greenlane and a decrease of approximately $84,000 related to losses recognized in 2020 on the sale of servicing equipment. The above decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $100,000 in financing and accretion expenses associated with new debt in 2021, and a realized loss of approximately $99,000 related to the sale of Greenlane stock.

Net Loss

The Company's loss for three months ended September 30, 2021, was $(628,546) compared to a loss of $(877,831) for three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company anticipates further improvement in net income (loss) throughout 2021 due to the increase in new leasing activity and portfolio growth.
