Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and does not have standardized meaning as it relates to performance measures and may not be comparable to other issuer disclosures of similar performance measures. The Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS loss in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other non-recurring gains and losses. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period to period operating comparisons. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered superior to IFRS net income (loss).

Covid-19 Pandemic

Because BeWhere provides remote monitoring and track & trace solutions to the transportation, distribution, security, construction, food and government industries, the company has been designated an essential service by its mobile network operator partners at AT&T and Bell Mobility and therefore continued to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The Covid-19 experience has highlighted the value of BeWhere’s monitoring solutions which provide two significant advantages.  First the ability to remotely and fully monitor key equipment, and second the collection of detailed data which allows the user to make maximum, efficient use of their resources, be it construction equipment or grape vines.  BeWhere’s monitors have proven their worth in the following applications:

• Transportation trailer location, conditions and utilization,
• Municipal clean water supply for rapid detection of pipe bursts and operational performance,
• Construction site conditions (flooding, temperature, air pressure, humidity, and equipment location,
• Atmospheric conditions data for agriculture.

As the application of its monitors becomes better known, BeWhere is well positioned to serve an increasingly broader market.
