PowerBand CEO Kelly Jennings provided the following commentary: “What the last quarter has shown us is that there is a
continuous need and want for the PowerBand platform as shown by our increased presence is the U.S. and our growing list of
partnerships, including Carpages.ca, DealerSocket, PBS Financial Systems, Quantech Software, and Trader. We will continue our
integration with these partners and expect to develop more commercial relationships to further increase the monetization of our
platform. PowerBand is making significant progress in advancing its software solutions broadly across the marketplace, both
domestically and internationally. The foundation is being built, operationally, to convert ongoing discussions and opportunities

New U.S. Office
-
To capitalize on new business opportunities in the United States, the Company has recently incorporated a U.S.-based,
wholly-owned subsidiary and is in the process of opening an office in northwest Arkansas, home of many global consumer goods
companies, and several multi-national logistics companies with large fleets. The U.S. represents a possible source of rapid
growth and the Company expects a major expansion.
New Personnel
-
Capital has been deployed to strengthen the sales force as the Company enters new territories. To support the new growth,
additions to the technical development team have been made to streamline product integration with our key strategic
partners.
-
The Company is actively seeking to bring on new members to senior management who can expand M&A opportunities.
International Expansion
-
The Company is in discussions with several potential partners that would broaden PowerBand's breadth and scope outside of
North America. The automotive sector is fragmented worldwide and provides exceptional opportunities.
-
To attract an international investor base PowerBand has listed its shares in the U.S. ("PWWBF") and the Frankfurt Exchange
("1ZV").
