* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, acquisition related expenses, and listing expense.
Working Capital
The Company’s rapid growth in the first 6 months of 2022 has led to our largest Account Receivable position which has increased overall working capital. The growth in Accounts Receivable has been funded by the Company’s operating lines.
Debentures
The Company has unsecured debentures of approximately $5.7 Million due in October, 2022. The Company’s intention is to payoff maturing debentures through any combination of internal cash generation and debt refinancing. We have an established track record of refinancing debt obligations.
Gross Margins
Gross margins have been impacted by rising material costs and impacts to the supply chain including shortages and delays for the procurement of equipment, semi-conductors, HVAC systems and continuous emission monitoring components. These impacts are anticipated to continue into the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, and acquisition related expenses. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company and its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, as well as future growth. Adjusted EBITDA may also be used by investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing the Company. Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS definitions are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of performance, liquidity, or cash flows.
