2021 Annual Financial Highlights

Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the key metric of subscription revenue increased 22.8% from $301,213 to $369,863. Overall revenue was lower by $381,498 or 32.8% due primarily to delays in some product orders, which won't be recognized until 2022. Professional and other revenue was lower by $32,585 or 21.3% due primarily to COVID waves in Q3 and Q4 which paused some contracts (please see Audited Consolidated Financial Statements). Government grant funding was $1,205,085 in 2021, a 13.6% reduction from 2020 due primarily to the completion of an Ontario Centre for Innovation (OCI)-funded project.

Expenses

Operating expenses increased $3,730,325 or 53.4% in the year ended December 31, 2021, mainly due to the Company focusing on implementing infrastructure to support scaling of the business. Due to hiring additional employees in 2021, salaries and wages increased by $2,165,288 or 60.6%. One-time costs include an increase of $672,122 in share-based compensation at the QT, and a $289,160 impairment to Inventory. Research and development expenses fell by $76,643 or 13.9% between 2020 and 2021 due to completion of the initial phases of the NGEN Project in 2020. Please see Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
