Management Commentary
The company’s ability to navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19 and take necessary definitive actions to protect and preserve business operations assisted in the positive performance for Q3 of fiscal 2021. This included the discontinuation of the APEX program on June 30th, 2020 which had created a total debt obligation in excess of $65 million, of which $23 million had been recorded on our balance sheet with another $42 million of interest expense to be recorded in the subsequent five years. Management was able to successfully buy back our obligations under the APEX program during the three months ended December 31st, 2020 in exchange for promissory notes totaling $19.5 million, resulting in a $45.56 million reduction in our total debt obligations, of which $3.9 million was recorded as a gain on settlement of debt during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and the remaining $42 million will be eliminated from our future interest expense. While this restructure of our debt obligations contributed to the decrease of only $864k in total liabilities, from $24.6 million as of March 31, 2020 to $23.8 million as of December 31, 2020, the savings of $42 million in interest expense over the next 5 years is worthwhile.
“We are extremely pleased with our performance for the three quarters of fiscal 2021 which were delivered in a highly challenging operation environment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We are executing our multi-year plan and we are pleased to see it generating revenue and profitability,” added Joe Cammarata, CEO.

The growth of individual self-directed investors due to social media and other information forums turns our focus to the planned ownership of an on-line broker dealer dedicated to meeting the needs of this trader profile.
