Executive Commentary on FY2023 Performance and Outlook

We are very pleased with the continued growth in revenue for the third consecutive year. Our retail products including our retail innovation solutions continue to receive strong recognition and demand from global clients. Shekel's holistic approach of providing a suite of solutions, positions us in an excellent place to answer the growing demand for automation in retail. Shekel also made significant efforts to streamline manufacturing and operations globally. Following the sale of the Healthweigh line to Rice Lake, we commenced the major activity of closing our facility in China and moving manufacturing to the Philippines. This effort was successfully completed in December 2023, and I congratulate our team for this major effort. Going forward we expect improvement of COGS and margins on our products. Shekel has funded these growing activities through 2 loan tranches provided during 2023, predominantly from major shareholders of the Company. We are pleased to receive their continued support and confidence in the Company's operations and direction. Looking forward into 2024, we expect continued strong demand, and even further growth in opportunities for our retail business segment solutions. Our current clients for Smart Coolers, as well as trials in Smart Carts points in a direction of significant interest in these products, and we look forward to capitalizing on these opportunities.
