OUTLOOK

D-BOX focuses on two major development areas: the entertainment market and the industrial market which have their respective sub-markets. In light of the business development activities in each of these two markets, D-BOX anticipates that the upward trend in revenues should be maintained.

In combination with this expected growth of revenues, D-BOX also expects to gradually increase the level of its operating expenses including fees related to sales, marketing, research and development that will support the commercialization of new applications. Generally speaking, the Corporation aims, however, to maintain a positive adjusted EBITDA and intends to manage its operations based on attaining this objective.
