The company announced its intention to hire an independent public accountant in the interest of positioning itself to file a S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Since early 2019, our goal has been to upgrade to a more senior exchange. We have taken steps to first improve the balance sheet, increase revenue, cut overhead to produce operating profits and finally file audited financials in order to make us eligible for various benefits of a reporting public company," stated Noah Davis, President of Upstryve. "We have attracted a lot of attention from larger investors, analysts and the press and many have communicated to us that they can be interested in supporting us if we are fully reporting. We have had a roadmap with a path that is anticipated to be beneficial to the company and its shareholders."

The goal of the Upstryve Connect conference is to bring awareness to the multifaceted avenues of monetization that can be gained as a result of pursuing a career in the skilled trades and is the first event of more to come from the Company. By adding conferences as a new way to create interaction with trade professionals, Upstryve aims to become the premier brand for high quality education in the trades. The conference is the first of it's kind for the company and for the vocational education industry in general.

"This event will help put Upstryve on the map as the premier venue for skilled trades education and training. We expect that Upstryve's goal of being compared to other big name ed-tech companies will be greatly enhanced with these regular conferences," continued Mr. Davis. "We believe the need for skilled trades professionals will increase due to the recent passing of the infrastructure bill and will continue to increase as additional government spending projects come to fruition."

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to Revenue, Income (Loss) from Operations and Net Income (Loss) under GAAP, we use: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP

Adjusted EBITDA

We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring and extraordinary items.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as Adjusted EBITDA (see above), excluding (i) benefit from (provision for) income taxes.
