CEO Comments
"While our quarterly results can be lumpy given the timing of new orders, we believe we have set the stage for a breakout next 12 months," stated Karl Kenny, CEO of Kraken. "We are proud of our ability to attract world-class sonar industry talent along with a growing list of Tier 1 customers and partners. This quarter saw the signing of our first distribution partnership with an established global marine technology company, and we are working diligently towards other key partnerships which we hope to execute in the near term." Mr. Kenny added: "Our pipeline of opportunities has expanded significantly as we have moved from an R&D company to a leading provider of SAS technology."

Business Highlights
Notable business developments and achievements during the quarter and up to the reporting date included the following:

• Deepened base of world-class talent with the addition of Dr. Tom Tureaud and Gina Millar.
• Appointed Sophic Capital as new investor relations and capital markets consultants.
• Announced our new KATFISH (Kraken Active Tow FISH) product, an innovative sonar platform for military and commercial applications. Budgetary pricing for a complete turn-key system is expected to be in the range of US$1.5 million.
• Execution of a multi-year, global distribution agreement in August with Tritech, a MOOG subsidiary, for our AquaTrak Correlation Velocity Log (CVL) product. In addition, we recently received our first purchase order under this partnership.
• In August, announced US$325,000 contract with ECA Robotics to embed Kraken SAS technology into ECA's newest A18D autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
• In August, for the third year in a row, Kraken was named to the MTR100 by Marine Technology Reporter. The MTR100 is a list of the 100 most influential companies in the international marine technology marketplace.
• During the quarter Kraken shipped its MINSAS 120 system to a leading US Defense supplier. Subsequent to the quarter end, we received a follow on order with this customer. This is the 3^rd order with this customer in the last two years and is indicative of the nature of our business. That is, while sales cycles are often long, once our industry leading technology wins approval from leading companies, we expect to win repeat business over multiple years.
