“Second quarter was another strong quarter for INEO as we experienced substantial year-over-year revenue growth, expanded the footprint of the INEO Welcoming Network and signed several advertisers through our partnerships with Consumer Media Solutions and Hivestack,” said Greg Watkin, Chairman and Founder of INEO. “We are even more excited with our recent developments.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

INEO generated $187,239 of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 90% as compared revenue of $98,536 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in the Company’s online sales of loss prevention products and the inclusion of initial revenue from advertising on the INEO Welcoming Network.

INEO generated gross profit for the three months ended December 30, 2020 of $79,287, as compared to gross profit of $67,639 for the year ended December 30, 2019, representing an increase of 17%. The Company attributes this growth to an increase in revenue and the addition of high margin advertising revenue.

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $525,252 or $0.01 per share compared to net loss of $168,825 or $0.01 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The Company had a greater loss due to higher operating expenses as a result of increased salary costs in the sales, development and deployment of its products and systems.

INEO had $507,787 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, compared to $1,252,638 of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020.

Kyle Hall, CEO of INEO commented, “It’s been a busy start to the new year. We are focused on the business fundamentals to make sure we are ready to scale and rapidly grow. The success of INEO’s Welcoming Network in independent liquor stores has been a validation of our technology and business opportunity. INEO is now entering the next stage of the Company’s planned expansion into large national and international retailers. We are building a great company which we believe will meet the needs of retailers, brands and advertisers around the world.”

Outlook:

The Company currently has seventy-five locations operating on the INEO Welcoming Network and is well positioned to significantly expand its footprint into some of the world’s largest retailers as a result of its distribution partnership with Prosegur. INEO and Prosegur are expected to enter into a Definitive Agreement in fiscal third quarter 2020. Both parties are currently actively working on securing and installing INEO’s Welcoming Pedestals in several pilot locations within two large North American retailers.

In addition, INEO has a healthy pipeline of independent liquor store retail locations ready for installations in the coming months and the Company is also witnessing increasing advertising fill rates on the INEO Welcoming Network. The partnerships with Consumer Media Solutions, as the Company’s advertising sales representatives, and with Hivestack’s programmatic advertising platform are allowing INEO to scale without having to add payroll headcount in this area.

INEO plans on continuing to innovate in the areas of integrated digital screen and loss prevention technology, improving data analytics with machine learning algorithms and optimizing its cloud based digital advertising network.
