Management commentary:Patrick Bertagna, GTX Corp CEO.

As highlighted above, we had a very significant and profitable quarter with $844,000 in revenues and $371,000 in profits. We saw double and triple digit increases in all the metrics we measure – revenues, subscribers, margins, profits, while our cost of operations remained steady, cash received in operations was positive, SG&A and net losses decreased.

Revenues as a whole in Q2 2019 increased by 472% or $694,857 in comparison to Q2 2018. The big catalyst this quarter was the Inpixon transaction and other IP licensing revenues which increased 5,172% or $646,500 and even though we don’t expect mid 6 figure IP income every quarter, the IP licensing part of our business is gaining momentum and we do expect to see continued growth this year. Service income increased by 81% or $43,912 as we continue to grow our subscriber base, and product revenues had a small increase of 6% or $4,444 over Q2 2018. We also saw a reduction in operational expenses and took on no new dilutive financing. Worth noting, even without the Inpixon transaction this quarter our revenues would still have been up approximately 30% over the 2018 comparable period.

 

In addition to a very strong IP licensing quarter, our overall subscribers increased by 42.5%, (38% domestically and 44% internationally). Military sales increased 30% and hardware sales had a slight 6% increase. We also added a new distribution channel through an agreement with Phoniro, a subsidiary of Assa Abloy, a leader in providing digital health care solutions to seniors across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and U.K. We successfully delivered our first order to Hill Air Force Base, continued to support Edwards Air Force Base and continued to work with the Sri Lanka government.

 

In the spirit of exploring new opportunities, we started a new R&D project with our Canadian distributor to embed our tracking technology inside custom handmade orthotic insoles in order to enter a high-end and high price point specialized footwear market across Canada. We also began piloting our new Near Field Communication (NFC) Temperature Trackers. These tags provide real-time temperature sensing and data logging across the supply chain necessary with transportation of perishables such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, live organs and other temperature sensitive products that can be negatively affected by temperature conditions in transit. The data can be read by an NFC-enabled smartphone, which eliminates the use of special costly equipment and with our built-in security measures can be uploaded to our server in order to prevent unauthorized modification of data logs, allowing brands, retailers, and distributors to verify the quality of their perishable goods in transit, by confirming that temperature-sensitive products were shipped properly. This is still a new business silo we are exploring but we see this technology and market as a natural extension into the world of tracking, which takes us beyond humans and high value assets.

 

In summary, the first half of 2019 was a transformative period for GTX Corp and we expect these fundamental building blocks to position the Company for growth, during the second half of 2019. As we pointed out in our previous quarterly summary, management is focused on building high-margin, recurring revenues from service subscriptions, IP licensing and introducing to the market place new innovative technologies that produce a positive impact on society.
