Management Commentary

“We are extremely pleased with our solid performance during FY2022, and we are even more proud that we delivered these financial results while successfully navigating through the various supply chain challenges and chip shortage issues that have hampered the technology industry at large. We continue to make solid progress building our foundation as a data company and now have over 45,000 mobile data collectors installed on passenger buses collecting several different video and data streams. In FY2022 we announced some of the largest contracts in our history. In the school vertical, our new contract with National Express positions us as a services provider to an operator of 20,000 school buses and we are witnessing many of our existing school district customers returning to Gatekeeper for full-fleet upgrades and embracing our compelling suite of video and data offerings for school buses. In the transit vertical we announced $13 million in aggregate video upgrade contracts this year and extended the service contract with our largest customer. These contracts are continuing examples of how Gatekeeper is strategically positioned to serve major customers,” commented Doug Dyment, President and CEO. “We are very grateful for the continuing support of our loyal customers and confidence of our valued employees.”
