BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Management is pleased with having built a strong foundation for OneSoft's business and increasing our competitive moat, both of which we believe enables continued progress and revenue growth into the foreseeable future. The Company's objective to modernize pipeline asset and integrity management processes by leveraging advanced data science, machine learning and cloud computing was revolutionary when the OneBridge CIM project commenced in 2016 and was embraced by only a small number of visionary pipeline operators. OneSoft has now successfully completed extensive validation efforts with fourteen industry leading pipeline operators who have adopted our CIM platform as their next generation solutions for pipeline asset and integrity management. Additionally, we have forged relationships with three partners to date who we believe will assist us to market our solutions world-wide.

We believe that our first-mover advantage, large financial investment and strongly validated user support collectively result in strong value creation for all stakeholders, including Company shareholders. Although some potential competitors may emerge, it is our view that they will be significantly disadvantaged to compete with our CIM platform, which we believe is becoming the new standard to which potential competing products will be compared.

Since the outset of the CIM project, management has elected to accelerate research and development efforts by maximizing reinvestment of Company resources (and incurring operational losses) to gain first mover technology advantage and a strong competitive moat. We estimate that potential competitors will need at least 5 years and a high financial investment to develop solutions providing CIM's current functionality, particularly when considering that more than a decade of software development by Phillips 66 has been incorporated into the Company's cloud solutions, which is a unique advantage exclusive to OneSoft. We believe that software companies that want to develop competitive products face elevated challenges and risks, including finding and engaging early adopter customers who are willing to conduct the product validations necessary to generate market acceptance over the long term as well as vast amounts of pipeline data required to validate the solution. We believe that OneSoft's first mover advantages regarding technology development and market acceptance, evidenced by the hallmark customers who have entered into multi-year CIM use agreements, is paramount to future success. We are also confident that our customers are unlikely to disengage use of our CIM solutions after they experience the benefits of them.

Management believes that CIM adoption and momentum to replace legacy systems and processes, particularly during the past year, has steadily increased, creating a new standard in the process. OneSoft signed the largest U.S. pipeline operator (based on miles of pipeline operated) in Q3 2021 and several other premier customers in Fiscal 2022, including our first Australian customer and our second super-major customer who decided to adopt CIM following an intensive vetting of several major international vendors as well as an extensive year-long validation of CIM.

The CIM platform continues to garner attention from numerous attendees at major industry trade show events including PPIM and IPC conferences, which both draw international audiences of potential customers and competitors. Based on feedback from these events and other market research, we believe that there is general industry acceptance that the CIM platform is the new industry leader for digital transformation that leverages data science, machine learning and cloud computing technologies. Some industry vendors who previously considered CIM to be a competitor are now exploring collaborative initiatives to potentially deliver CIM capabilities as part of their service offerings to their customers.

As more CIM customers and their differing operating scenarios are on-boarded and better understood, revenue forecasting from existing customers is becoming more predictable and accurate. The Company plans, subject to regulatory compliance, to disclose factors to assist readers to forecast revenue projections in Fiscal 2023.

Management strongly believes in adherence to two key strategies to build value for all stakeholders, including shareholders: (1) to focus on signing of new customers, which we believe will be instrumental in growing revenues, solidifying our first-mover advantage and thwarting potential competitors; and (2) to maximize reinvestment of Company resources into R&D to protect and increase our competitive moat. Management intends to continue to maximize company growth efforts in accordance with current business plans and resources, which does not contemplate raising additional capital in current capital market conditions. Key considerations to meet this objective include monitoring and managing cash (including cash equivalents and accounts receivable) and deferred revenue (prepaid fees committed by customers), which collectively reflect CIM use growth and associated future revenue generation. These factors bode well at this point and Management believes the Company can continue its business and growth plans as currently envisioned without requirement to raise additional capital.
