Financial Results for the three month period ended January 31, 2024
Consolidated revenue was $2.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $0.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2023.

Revenue for the Xtract operating segment was $0.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2023.
Loss and comprehensive loss was $3.3 million for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2023.
