For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company’s gross profit increased from $8 million to $19.3 million or 124% increase over prior period while the gross profit margin improved from 72.5% to 79% when compared to the similar period last year.

The company made an Operating Profit of $5.06 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2020, a 153% increase when compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

We are pleased to report a Net Profit of $1.25m for the quarter ending March 31, 2020. This is our first profitable quarter since being listed on the Jamaica Stock Exchange. This represents a 184% turnaround when compared to the Net Loss of $1.48m made in 2019. This was attributable to the number of strategic initiatives that were set in motion after being listed in 2019. Some of these strategic initiatives included the raising of the bond issue which was closed in February 2020 and the completion of the expansion and construction of iCreate’s training and operational infrastructures which was completed in 2019.

COVID-19 Strategy: Preserving Profits and Pivoting for GrowthGoing forward we will be delivering the majority of our courses in a format using a hybrid of online & face-to-face delivery mechanisms. This change to a more blended strategy will allow us to expand our offerings to a wider audience than was previously achievable with a face-to-face only training delivery strategy. As we review all of our operations and marketing strategies, in response to the Covid-19 crisis, we recognize that several other opportunities will arise. The opportunities will make pivots to our business model, training delivery strategies and revenue streams; each of which will provide both short-term and long-term benefits to the bottom line.

With an aim to maximize profit, in spite of the current COVID-19 crisis, we have undertaken several operational changes which will enable us to reduce costs. Firstly, we have decided to temporarily close our Montego Bay location, effective May 1, 2020. Overall, we have embarked on a cost reduction strategy that will see us reducing expenses by approximately 30% over the coming months as we aim to stay on this path of profitability in this new environment brought on to us by COVID-19.

We thank our shareholders, directors and team members for their continued support as we chart the way forward.

DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

The Board of Directors of iCreate Limited is pleased to present the unaudited financial statements of the company for the three-months ended March 31, 2020.

Revenue Increase of 106%The company recorded revenue of $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This represented an increase of 106% when compared to the comparable period last year and 53% of the total revenue recorded for the 2019 financial year. Our growth in revenue is attributable to a number of initiatives that the company took to ensure we deliver on our commitment to our shareholders. They are as follows:

• Diversification of our customer segments which now include: Business-to-Consumer(B2C) Training, Business-to-Business (B2B) Training and Business-to-Business (B2B)Training Content Design and Production.

• Revenue growth in the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Training customer segment, as aresult of the addition of two new courses for our Kingston location which were widelyaccepted in Event & Entertainment Production and Interior Design.

• Revenue growth in the Business-to-Business (B2B) Training customer segment, as aresult of the earnings from our partnership with HEART (The Human Employment andResource Training Trust/National Training Agency). Specifically, we have startedtraining individuals from HEART in the areas of digital photography and digital videoproduction, in both Kingston and Montego Bay.

• Revenue growth through the addition of a new customer segment: Business-to-Business (B2B) Training Content Design and Production. We began serving thiscustomer segment in order to tap into the growing demand of e-Learning ContentDesign & Production. Serving this new customer segment will allow us to furtherleverage our investment in production facilities and equipment to bring new revenueopportunities for the company.
