The backlog of $78 million at the end of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 is up substantially from FY2023, and represents a historical high for the Company. This steady growth in backlog is indicative of the strong business environment for our technology as well as our reinvigorated customer focused strategy combined with our commitment to bring faster, better solutions to market. We anticipate continued growth in new business during the current fiscal year ending April 30, 2025. Our efforts have put us on a positive trajectory. The Company remains committed to achieving sustained profitability and strong cash generation going forward.
