As quoted in the press release:

The Company finished the third quarter with:

  • Consolidated overhead costs were $1,626K for Q3 of 2018 (2018 Q2 – $1,364K, 2017 Q3 – $588K). The increase in costs was associated with increased travel costs, an increase in staff to support increasing revenue and for payroll costs associated with termination of staff after integrating new acquisitions.
  • Q3 2018, EBITDA loss of $105K CAD, vs Q2 2018 loss of $644K CAD, this loss was primarily due to the increase in salary and operational costs.

  • New Director of Sales and Channels hired and has started to build out the sales, product management team and account management team to support new combined client class.

  • The indirect sales channels progressed well with a consolidation of the previous partners into two groups, the larger and more tech savvy being offered storage and security solutions.

  • The company continues to win cryptocurrency opportunities from around the world, with a clear strategy of co-locating these servers (rigs) in third party facilities, keeping the Vancouver data center primarily for Enterprise clients.

  • Uniserve’s social media and general marketing efforts are now far more quantifiable, helping make lead generation increases directly reflect returns on investment.

  • Overall sales pipelines appear buoyant and churn in Residential and Enterprise segments is significantly below industry accepted norms.

  • New coax cable connectivity offering is now complete throughout Alberta with significant increases in new clients.
