Dear Shareholders,

During the quarter the Company made significant progress toward a 2023 launch of the Abaxx Exchange in Singapore. Member engagement accelerated with key industry events in Q3 and the increased focus on solutions for problematic market structures across the European and Asian gas industries in addition to global metals. We continue to work with our core Futures Commission Merchants (“FCMs”) and Clearing Members alongside the Monetary Authority of Singapore to ensure a successful launch. The number of technological and regulatory interdependencies are such that a precise date cannot be publicly announced until systems are hardened and all conditions are satisfied. The Company made significant strides toward the final delivery of its platform ahead of our next regulatory review.

Development efforts in Q2 and Q3 have delivered an advanced cloud trading platform with expanded functionality including enhanced service layers, a proprietary database infrastructure to facilitate additional risk analysis, and market data tools for continuous product development.

Singapore, as a leading global financial center, is supportive of innovative technologies which add security and efficiency to markets. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) exercises rigorous examination and testing of risk management frameworks and technology infrastructure to instill confidence among market participants.

Abaxx Exchange Infrastructure

In Q3 we achieved our minimum viable targets for upgrades to the technology infrastructure supporting Exchange and Clearing. Velocity has increased in terms of collaboration with vendors and internal teams supporting continuous development and integration of additional improvements, including a refreshed user interface. We have made further investments into efforts around documentation and a user knowledge center. This makes us well positioned to continue onboarding key ISVs and FCMs as we work to harden systems prior to launch.

Milestones achieved in Q3 include and are not limited to:

• Full Trade and Order submission pipeline tested successfully
• Commencement of integration and testing of Trading Firm ISVs
• Commencement of integration and testing of Clearing Firm ISVs
• Completion of internal development work required for SWIFT Integration.

We have established a working prototype of our knowledge center and have commenced preparations to support customers of the Exchange. Clearing Firm onboarding and application process has commenced.

Abaxx Exchange Product Developments

Product development is typically managed in 3 stages: Stage 1. Problem identification and industry consultation 2. Scoping, design and drafting comprehensive delivery contracts. 3. Industry comments, risk modeling, regulatory document submission and filing. Pursuant to our press release of October 17, 2022, our Carbon futures contract has been submitted to MAS, while the LNG contracts are in final stage 3; the submission is on schedule.

Metals market development has progressed to Stage 2 for our first precious and battery metal contracts. These efforts are spearheaded by experienced industry veterans and leverages previous work to date on emerging market standards in LNG and Carbon. Our approach is to strike a balance between derivative market mechanics and underlying commercial supply chain practices in the markets we serve.

Q3 was particularly busy with commercial events including APPEC returning to Singapore after a two-year absence and the commitment and attendance by the commercials in global energy markets. Abaxx held its first ever APPEC event and had representation across commercial firms, FCMs, and brokers, especially those that are relevant and will be potential partners with Abaxx with our initial suite of LNG and Carbon futures products.

Abaxx Tech Suite and Corporate Development Plan

As part of our ongoing expansion of development efforts, we have continued to make improvements to the ID++ protocol in advance of a release to the wider development community in 1H23. Work on the ID++ protocol continued and will result in launch in H123. Improvements include: a redesigned and hardened service layer, changes to the latest versions of solidity and typescript, introduction of both verifiable credential issuance flows and KYC/AML scoring as additional services. This will be the first version made available to the developer community and will be released with an accompanying whitepaper and developer resources.

We’ll be expanding use cases for ID++ beyond Abaxx Exchange while we work toward launch. Console applications serving the Abaxx Exchange have been similarly redesigned to take full advantage of the enhanced service layers and improved security features.

SmarterMarkets™ Podcast Series: Financing the Energy Transition

In September SmarterMarketsTM traveled to Singapore for the APPEC conference. This created the opportunity to expand our media activity from the podcast to two live events, recordings of which are now available on our website.

The first event, “Carbon Markets and a Net Zero Future,” was presented by Women in Mining and Resources (WIMAR) Singapore. In association with the Singapore Exchange, and moderated by SmarterMarkets™ Host, David Greely, leading carbon market practitioners from governmental organizations and natural resource industries were invited to share their expertise on the opportunities and challenges present in policy, technology, finance and market structure to power the voluntary carbon markets’ impact on global emissions reduction.

In the second event, “A Conversation with HFW: The Energy Transition and the Role of Carbon Pricing and ESG Tools,” former guest and HFW Partner, Peter Zaman, hosted David Greely, Singapore Exchange’s Herry Cho, and Anthony Hobley of the World Economic Forum, to expand on a theme David has brought to the recent series: “Winter is Coming.” The panel discussed whether the world has the metals, investing tools, and political will required for the widespread electrification powered by low-carbon renewables envisioned in current net-zero plans, or if we need to develop a ‘Plan B’ for the energy transition.

Back in the studio, our Winter is Coming series pushed SmarterMarketsTM past the 1 millionth download milestone and set a new monthly record of 79,000 downloads in September. Having wrapped up that podcast series in October, we introduced our latest series Financing the Energy Transition in November.

The world has committed to transitioning to a low-carbon energy system, and the IEA estimates that US$120 trillion in investment will be needed to reach net-zero by 2050. Our energy system, which has been dominated by fossil fuels, will transition to one that is increasingly electrified and powered by renewables — and where carbon emissions and climate impact are internalized and priced to guide investment decisions.

In our series Financing the Energy Transition we are talking with the investors, financiers, and project developers who are working to finance the energy transition and using carbon financing to fund carbon reduction projects. We’ll be discussing the current state of the energy transition, ESG, and carbon finance and what is needed to invest in the energy transition and carbon reduction at scale.

Series guests include Nathaniel Bullard of BloombergNEF, Nikita Singhal of Lazard Asset Management, Don Casturo & Matt Schwab of Quantix Commodities, John Goldstein of Goldman Sachs, Adam Bornstein of the Danish Red Cross, and Leah Wieczorek of Macquarie.
