• Revenue of $1,512,457 compared to $602,255 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 151%, largely attributed to the Network as a Service ("NaaS") revenue growth including the billing of revenue in Cameroon related to 2023 not yet invoiced;

• Total expenses of $4,005,534 compared to $2,530,023 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 58%, largely attributed to an increase in financial expenses related to short term borrowings and costs incurred in finalising the FEI bridge facility;

• Net Loss of $2,425,6969 compared to $2,823,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 14%.

• Revenue of $2,085,634 compared to $1,270,161 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 64%, directly attributable to the increase in live NaaS sites and CAPEX sales including partial delivery of the 2G/3G core network in the Marshall Islands;

"The results for the quarter are trending in the right direction, extremely encouraging and are starting to reflect the scale of our operations and what should be expected in terms of metrics from the NaaS business model", said Jim Bailey, CFO of NuRAN Wireless. "Looking forward, we expect our SG&A to remain relatively flat while we drive towards positive EBITDA. We finalized two major financings at the start of Q3 representing a turning point for NuRAN as we anxiously add new sites to build scale. We look to replicate the proven site economics in Cameroon by deploying sites in inventory, with low incremental spend required, in Cameroon and DRC. We'll also use these funds to build critical mass in new recently signed countries working with our strategic partners and new investors and lenders to continue to extend communications in hard-to-reach rural locations".

Highlights from the Quarter and Recent Highlights Include:

• On July 16, 2024, the Company announced that the initial US$ 2.5M drawdown from the Facility for Energy Inclusion ("FEI") has been received allowing for the resumption of site construction;

• On August 19, 2024, NuRAN announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement of an unsecured convertible debenture (the "Debenture") for aggregate gross proceeds of US$ 1.6M. The Debenture has a two-year term and accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum until the Maturity Date. The principal amount of Debenture is US$2,194,772 after application of an original issuance discount of 25% and including all applicable fees. The Debenture may be converted into units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a conversion price of CDN$ 0.225 per Unit (the "Conversion Price") with each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable into one common share at a price of CDN$ 0.25. Under the terms of the Debenture, the Company also granted a participation right in future equity financings up to a 9.9% equity interest in the Company.
