Mission Ready Announces Resignations of Board of Directors and Leadership Team Members

Transfer of Listing to NEX

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – JULY 19, 2023 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MRS) (OTC: MSNVF) (FSE: 2R4), announces that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and leadership team members have resigned, effective June 30, 2023.

The current circumstances created by prolonged delays in government awarding associated with pending solicitations, along with the recent exclusion from the Ballistic Combat Shirt (BCS) competitive range and the lack of visibility into additional long-term revenues and contracts, have made it impossible to continue with the status quo. As a result, members of the Board believe they can no longer satisfy their fiduciary duties to the Company and the shareholders. The Board has therefore resigned, as has the President and CEO, the CFO, the Director of Corporate Communication of Mission Ready, along with the President and the CFO of Unifire and other leadership team members.

Consequently, the Company does not meet the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV” or the “Exchange”) Tier 2 continued listing requirements. Therefore, The TSXV has advised the Company that trading will be suspended, and its listing will be transferred to the NEX Board. NEX is a separate trading board of the TSXV which provides a trading forum for companies that have fallen below the TSXV’s ongoing listing standards. The Company will remain on the NEX until such time it can fulfill the conditions to graduate to TSXV or defaults on the NEX policies or listing requirements.

The Company’s trading symbol will change from MRS to MRS.H on the effective date as a result of the transfer to the NEX. The .H symbol extension differentiates NEX symbols from other symbols on the main stock list of the Exchange.

The Company’s shares under its US listing (OTC: MSNVF) have also been transferred to OTC Pink – Current Information status due to the halt.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

GORUCK's MACV-2

Mission Ready and GORUCK Form Strategic Partnership to Supply US Patriot Stores

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – JUNE 20, 2023 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MRS) (OTCQB: MSNVF) (FSE: 2R4), announces its strategic partnership with GORUCK, the renowned gear and training company, to supply US Patriot, the nation’s largest off-post tactical and military retailer. Under this continued relationship and exciting new collaboration, Mission Ready and Unifire, Inc. (“Unifire”) will act as GORUCK’s dedicated sales agents and primary point of contact for US Patriot.

Jason McCarthy, Founder of GORUCK, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “US Patriot holds a prominent position as one of the largest retailers of military boots in the US market. This strategic partnership with Mission Ready and Unifire will allow GORUCK to significantly enhance its reach and exposure within the tactical and military audience, while simultaneously introducing our everyday carries, footwear and functional fitness products.”

GORUCK's MACV-2

“The alignment between GORUCK’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) model and this opportunity was a perfect match,” said Buck Marshall, President and CEO of Mission Ready. “With the recent launch of GORUCK’s highly anticipated MACV-2, the AR 670-1 Compliant boots, GORUCK now offers a state-of-the-art alternative that perfectly complements US Patriot’s mission. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the tactical and military community.”

By joining forces, Mission Ready and GORUCK are poised to revolutionize the supply chain dynamics within the industry, leveraging each other’s strengths to provide unparalleled value to US Patriot and its customers. Through this strategic alliance, the companies aim to drive innovation, expand market presence, and solidify their position as providers of mission-critical products.

About GORUCK

Founded in 2008 by former Green Beret, Jason McCarthy, GORUCK is headquartered in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Jason’s commitment to the Special Forces way of life, coupled with what he had learned in war, inspired him to build a “go-bag”, or “go-ruck” for his wife and co-founder, Emily, who was a Case Officer in the CIA working in French-speaking West Africa. The bag was meant for her to keep in her vehicle and at home, ready to go at all times.

This “go-bag” would serve as the catalyst for what eventually became GORUCK’s original piece of gear, the GR1. It took over two years to design and manufacture the rucksacks and ensure they would thrive in both Baghdad and NYC — Green Berets were judge and jury of quality and functionality. GORUCK prides itself on building the toughest rucking & workout gear on the planet backed by our SCARS Lifetime Guarantee. Rucksacks, footwear, apparel, ruck plates, training gear and more.

Mission Ready Reports 2022 Financial Results

CEO Provides Insight into Gowns and BCS Solicitations

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – MAY 2, 2023 – Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MRS) (OTCQB: MSNVF) (FSE: 2R4), a provider of comprehensive government contracting solutions, recently released its 2022 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“FY 2022”).

The following are highlights for FY 2022 (all dollar figures are quoted in Canadian currency unless otherwise specified):

  • Gross Revenues: $5.52MM
  • Gross Margin: 17%
  • Net Income (loss): (22.5MM) 1
  • Decrease in Operating Expenses: 29% 2
  • Decrease in Total Liabilities: 42% 2

(1) Primarily consists of impairment loss on Unifire goodwill recognized in Q4 2022.
(2) As compared to previous year.

A copy of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the associated Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) are available on SEDAR.com under the Company’s profile.

The Company previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets related to the Unifire, Inc. (“Unifire”) acquisition. The Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets annually and records any necessary impairments. The timing of contracts has resulted in significant year-over-year fluctuations in Unifire’s revenues, making it difficult to project future revenues reliably. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment on goodwill and intangible assets totaling $17,809,224. This impairment does not affect the Company’s cash position, cash flow from operating activities, or future operations.

“Management’s decision to recognize a write-down (impairment) on the goodwill (and other intangible assets) associated with the Unifire acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2022 was made to mitigate the potential impairment of income during future reporting periods,” said Buck Marshall, President and CEO of Mission Ready. “Given the many open solicitations and sales opportunities before the Company – many of which are significantly past the original award dates – we are hopeful that these delayed opportunities will begin to come to fruition in the very near term. It is our belief that the strategic decisions we make now will have a great and lasting impact on the Company’s success down the road.”

The Company also provides further insight into the recent Ballistic Combat Shirt (BCS) solicitation. The Company had previously received a request to maintain pricing through April from the US Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Company subsequently received another amendment signed by Company officials on April 18, 2023, effectively moving the solicitation’s expected response to October 2023.

“The latest amendment to the solicitation reaffirms the ongoing requirement and aligns with the US. Government’s new fiscal year that could see appropriations for the ballistic combat shirt,” said Francisco Martinez, Chief Technology Officer. “Soldier’s protection remains at the forefront of the US Army priorities for troop enhancements, ensuring that they augment soldier’s mobility while optimizing protection.”

The Company also provides additional insight following its attendance at the Make PPE in America Industry Day. The event, hosted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), also included senior members from the Defense and Logistics Agency (DLA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). During the event, the agencies provided additional visibility into their current procurement structure, past performance, and goals. Notably:

  • VA and DLA currently have active inventories and share a similar structure in procurement, using Prime Vendor programs, Distribution and Pricing Agreements, and Blanket Purchase Agreements to ensure long-term procurement and readiness.
  • VA and the Secretary of Defense are working on readiness and resilience, ensuring they can respond to the 4th mission, acting as a backstop for the US healthcare system in the case of catastrophic events.
  • All agencies are unanimously committed not to holding expired PPE.
  • The lack of adequate supply of domestically produced PPE was an enormous challenge for the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they are committed to never face that challenge again.
  • Jointly, their goal is to continue fostering industry growth, favoring 2+ years contract domestically sourced, reinforcing compliance of PPE products, and ensuring that the industry is promoted, namely through innovation, helping its products stand out internationally.

Buck Marshall added, “The need for Made in America PPE and the desire to support an industry that jointly stepped up to the challenge when the government called for help is at the forefront of the discussions, and we look forward to continuing to provide US-made solutions to respond to the demand.”

MISSION READY NEWSLETTER | MARCH 2023 | SHAREHOLDER UPDATE AND SNAPSHOT OF COMPANY’S RECENT ACTIVITIES

Fellow Shareholders,

It’s no secret that this past year has been challenging on the sales front for Mission Ready, punctuated by delays and a curious lack of meaningful contract awards that could otherwise have been reasonably anticipated. As frustrating as this unforeseen period of contracting inactivity continues to be for Company personnel and stakeholders alike, it is essential to note that it is common to our industry and not by any means a phenomenon unique to Mission Ready. Thankfully, over the past few years, we’ve put significant resources into building a solid foundation, an effort that has proven invaluable during tumultuous times, allowing us to weather the storm and emerge stronger, bolder, and more prepared than ever before. In this newsletter, I’d like to take a few moments to reinforce our messaging and provide you with a snapshot of the Company’s recent activities and ongoing efforts.

First, I would like to provide additional insight into our contracting pipeline. The common denominator for the Company’s outstanding solicitations remains a continued and sustained need for the government to procure and/or replenish the items and solutions it continues to seek through solicitations. As a result, we continue to await awards for some of the contracts discussed over the past year, including, among others, the BCS and Isolation gowns. I can share with you that the Company has received requests to hold its pricing through March/April of 2023 on both the BCS and Isolation Gowns, as we have for some of our other outstanding proposals. This recent notification from the United States Government reinforces one of our core beliefs; that our relevance remains unmitigated, and the need for the products and solutions our Company can supply simply doesn’t disappear. Consequently, our confidence in our ability to capture these solicitations remains unwavering.

With our extensive industry experience and a deep understanding of the requirements of each governmental agency and department, our team capitalizes on its combined expertise, resources, and relationships to develop and present high-quality proposals that accurately demonstrate our capabilities and values. As we await additional communications on previously submitted solicitation responses, we continue to proactively identify new solicitation opportunities while bolstering our product offerings in respect of our current contracts. We are steadfast in our approach and ability to respond competitively to solicitations and bid accurately.

The continued delays in the solicitation process have reinforced our initial strategy to seek additional revenue streams. We have been working diligently over the last year to expand our revenue streams and create recurring revenues. Our focus has been developing relationships that will allow us to reduce our reliance on US Government contracting and foster future growth, which in turn will help promote additional innovation and potential acquisitions. We have made significant progress in this area, and with several opportunities currently at various stages, we are optimistic about the potential for new business opportunities in these sectors. Shareholders have seen a glimpse of some of these initiatives, namely Task Force Antal, Blueforce, GORUCK, and other valuable partnerships. We are confident that we will be able to further discuss the impact of these catalysts soon.

With the Russia-Ukraine war having been actively fought for more than a year, our work with Task Force Antal and Support Hospitals in Ukraine remains instrumental in supporting our allies. We are exceedingly honored to have recently been presented with the “Unbreakable Heroes of the Russia-Ukraine War” award in recognition of these efforts. With this commendation, Mission Ready continues actively showcasing its capabilities while reinforcing its position with Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense (“MOD”), Ministry of Health (“MOH”), and allied countries as a valuable partner and provider of needed products and solutions.

Our work with Blueforce Development has also provided opportunities to showcase our Command and Control Solution to Foreign Military partners as well as Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies. As you understand, given the nature of our business and with non-disclosure agreements in place, we must be mindful of the details we share about these engagements.

GORUCK, one of the Company’s flagship vendors, has also provided additional opportunities on both the retail front and at the “agency” level. We are working with a Nationally recognized retailer with over 105 brick-and-mortar stores and access to approximately 70% of the Law Enforcement market. This provides several opportunities not only to offer incredible footwear and functional fitness equipment but also to discuss other readily available solutions that our Company can supply in the body armor, uniform, equipment, and training spaces.

We take pride in our dedication to excellence and our commitment to identifying and providing top-of-the-line gear to our customers. To further highlight our partnership with GORUCK and the undeniable quality of their products, and as a token of our appreciation for your continued support, we would like to offer a 10% discount on any purchase from GORUCK by using the code: UNIFIRE10 at GORUCK.com. We hope you will take advantage of this offer and the opportunity to explore GORUCK’s product offering and learn how they stand out in the market.

These are just a few examples of our commitment to putting ourselves at the forefront and showcasing our capabilities within our industry. Our attendance at key industry events has also been instrumental in advancing these opportunities. We successfully leveraged our presence to nurture current relationships, build new connections, and identify products and solutions to meet emerging needs. Our team also had the chance to present some of our solutions to industry members, and we continue actively pursuing these opportunities as we speak.

I’m also pleased to report that our innovation division, PTFI, continues diligently working on the ULEDU and HARPY projects, effectively meeting established milestones. PTFI is committed to using these awards to push the boundaries of current personal protective equipment to create truly pioneering products that will help ensure end-user safety while allowing them to complete their unique missions. By effectively meeting all the milestones outlined in the awards, our innovation division continues positioning the Company for success while demonstrating our commitment to protecting those who protect us.

Lastly, I wanted to touch on the recent private placement offering (the “Offering”) which was finalized in January of 2023. The purpose of the Offering was to fund operations and extend the Company’s runway in advance of anticipated contract awards and the associated purchase orders. Notably, the significant insider participation in the Offering is a testament to our team’s continued commitment to the Company’s long-term success and our unwavering confidence in our ability to execute the current strategic plan, reinforcing our motto of “One Company, One Team, One Direction.”

Shareholders will be able to get more visibility with the upcoming filing of our financials for the period ended December 31, 2022 (Q4-22/FY-22) – due to be filed by May 1, 2023, and for which the audit process is underway. Our Q1-23 financials will follow shortly after, due to be filed by May 30, 2023.

I look forward to updating you on our progress as we execute our 2023 strategic objectives.
