"The company continues to develop and enhance its software defined object storage solution. In August, we sold our first Leonovus 3.0 solution to global marketing company that will use L3.0 to optimize its global storage requirements and facilitate an accelerated process to onboard customers that have data security and compliance requirements.  We expect more sales to large corporate customers by the end of Q3. The recruitment and development of channel partners is ongoing and anticipate the signing of an additional sales partner in Q3. Additional resources were invested in Q3 to continue the validation our media script acceleration patents and intellectual property ('IP'). While this is a longer-term source of funds for the company, we remain focused on trying to find the key monetization triggers in the IP.

In addition, the Company is exploring the integration of its decentralized technology for new applications in the Blockchain market. We believe that our distributed storage and distributed compute solutions, when combined with Blockchain technology, could become a powerful new product offering," said Michael Gaffney, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.
