Management Commentary. The Smallbrooks business model is based on long-term relationships and a subscription structure that provides stable, recurring revenue instead of large upfront payments. The increased expenses for Smallbrooks and the natural delay in recurring revenue combined with the end of the grant from Innovation Fund Denmark means that Smallbrooks, overall, contributes negatively to this year’s result, and even more so compared to last year. However, Smallbrooks is part of a long-term strategy and continues to contribute very positively to our expectations for the future. Results The gross profit for the year is 0.8 million DKK compared to 1.5 million DKK last year. The result from ordinary activities after tax is -2.4 million DKK compared to -0.9 million DKK last year. The management considers the results satisfactory. This document has esignatur Agreement-ID: cc037d6250dc52dcYTzYTpps5526727301824393 The fall in gross profit is due to the grant from Innovation Fund Denmark, which benefited the 2018 accounts but ended in 2019 The further fall in the ordinary result is caused by an increase in salary expenses due to the increased investments in Smallbrooks.
Management Commentary. The most important milestones for 2020 are: • The lending business is and remains cash-flow positive. • Six new Smallbrooks customer contracts are signed. This document has esignatur Agreement-ID: cc037d6250dc52dcYTYzTpps5526727301824393 • Break-even for the entire company is reached by the end of the year unless we decide to accelerate growth by investing further in Smallbrooks (and unless the current COVID-19 situation negatively impacts the business, although we do not expect this)
Management Commentary. We landed two new customers in Q1 prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, and a thirdy customer in Q4. This is half of the six customers we budgeted for, but nonetheless a satisfactory result considering the unusual situation. The existing customers have done a great job in ordering new IT features, and regardless of the Covid-19 situation we have therefore been able to increase the revenue from Smallbrooks substantially compared to last year. Indeed, in terms of revenue, Q4 was the best quarter in the history of Smallbrooks. This document has esignatur Agreement-ID: 7fa09fdb6e4a6e4cqwgngt224422103605069021 Two new projects were undertaken in 2020: First, we received funding from the Danish Business Authority for the project “Simple Crowdfunding” in which we will create a very simple setup for getting a crowdfunding platforms using a CMS version of the Smallbrooks solution and based on Xxxxxxx'x existing legal setup and license with the Danish FSA. The project will lower the barrier of entry for getting into crowdfunding, and we believe that this will eventually be a way to onboard new Smallbrooks customers. Second, we landed a contract for a crowdsourcing platform, which we will create for a Danish research institution. The concept of crowdsourcing plays very well together with crowdfunding, so we believe that this project will add some important new features to the Smallbrooks solution that can be offered to many other customers. Overall, we continue to see Smallbrooks as a very scalable part of the business with a very large potential. The business model is based on long-term relationships and a subscription structure that provides stable, recurring revenue instead of large upfront payments. Thus, Smallbrooks is part of a long-term strategy and continues to contribute very positively to our expectations for the future. Results The gross profit for the year is 1,9 million DKK compared to 0,6 million DKK last year. The result from ordinary activities after tax is -2.0 million DKK compared to -2.4 million DKK last year. The management considers the results to be as expected and satisfactory, considering the increased salary expenses due to the investments in Smallbrooks. Capital resources In Q4, 2020 the company received a loan from the Danish Growth Fund. The loan was offered as part of a Covid-19 package and is on very favourable terms. During 2021 a further capital increase has been planned, both from a VC and from a new campaign on the equity crowdfunding plat...
Management Commentary. Targets and expectations for the year ahead The lending part of the business has been growing recently as a consequence of the introduction of covered bonds and a secondary market to the platform. It is currently close to break-even and is expected to start generating cash within the foreseeable future. The Smallbrooks part of the business is getting back on track after some delay during the Covid-19 crisis, but it will remain cash absorbing for some time. When more capital is raised it will be invested in the growth and internationalisation of Smallbrooks. The most important milestones for 2020 are: • Recurring revenue for the company will increase significantly. • Two new Smallbrooks products/features are introduced. This document has esignatur Agreement-ID: 7fa09fdb6e4a6e4cqwgngt224422103605069021 • Additional capital is raised and invested in the international expansion of Smallbrooks
Management Commentary. “This is a major transition point for the Company, as we continue to execute our plans, allowing us to significantly reduce our debt while right-sizing our operations in Quebec without disruption,” commented Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, TGOD’s CEO and Interim CFO. “Furthermore, we are pleased to be in position to provide for potential future growth in cultivation in Quebec through the leaseback of an appropriate portion of the Quebec Facility.

This sets the foundation for the Company to take advantage of other growth opportunities in Canada and the United States,” added Bovingdon.
