Hi guys, we have on of the best stocks run by one the best CEO’s and we have no one chatting about it! Spread the word, when big money rolls in the shareprice will erupt to the upside! My investment club believes a big contract like New York, Toronto or possibly a southern city are next on the GSI hit list. By that time, hopefully in the Spring the shareprice will skyrocket to blue sky. Anything under a dollar is incredible value and looking like a 10 bagger from here((12 month), conservative in a relatively short time frame. Once we blow into dollar land, institutions will pile in, Nasdaq listing will create a buzz and earnings will soar. $20 is my sell target, within 3 years. Incredible buying opportunity. Remember this post and don’t say “ damn, missed the GSI train” do your research and buy and hold this gem!, Schools, sports venues, transit, trains, malls, city parking etc... watch the master Doug Dyment work and make you wealthy. Have a hard look and don’t miss out.. $$$$$$$$$$$

Management Commentary
Doug Dyment, President and CEO commented: “I’m extremely pleased with the fantastic results that our team delivered during a fiscal year which was overshadowed by a global pandemic and economic uncertainty. We adjusted our operations quickly and efficiently to protect our employees, allowing our business to operate as an essential service. We continued to develop our new AI-based platform for Smart Cities and developed new solutions to improve passenger safety and transit efficiency as cities reopen following COVID-19 lockdowns."
"Our new passenger health monitoring panel became part of our PaaS platform and its facial recognition feature paves the road for future applications like contact tracing, passenger counting or payment verification, and strengthens our transformation to a video and data solutions provider for Smart Cities.”
Several new initiatives were established during the 2020 fiscal year which the Company expects will contribute strongly to future growth.
They include:
Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) Business Model – during the year, Gatekeeper introduced the PaaS business model as an enabling transformation to a video and data solutions provider for intelligent transit and Smart Cities. Over the past seven years the Company has installed over 28,000 intelligent mobile data collectors and 97,000 video devices on school buses, transit buses and trains for over 3,500 public transportation customers.
These intelligent devices form the foundation of the Company’s PaaS business model by collecting vehicle data such as video, audio, GPS, time, door open/close and serve as the “black box” to aid in transit accident investigations. The PaaS units are WiFi enabled, mobile connected, or mobile enabled, allowing public transport assets to become part of an intelligent transportation solution in a Smart City ecosystem. The PaaS platform also serves as the AI-based intelligence platform for future applications such as thermal camera sensors, passenger counting, contact tracing, intelligent routing, license plate capture, video evidence and more.
Artificial Intelligence and Video Analytics Software – during the year, Gatekeeper continued development of video-based artificial intelligence offerings. AI offers the potential to evolve conventional video into machine-vision intelligence to automatically record, alarm, enforce, or take action without human interaction in applications such as abnormal driver behavior, abnormal passenger behavior, passenger counting, or license plate capture and ticketing of vehicles illegally driving in the bus lane or passing streetcars or school buses while passengers are loading or unloading.
Many customers choose Gatekeeper because of its video analytics software which allows easy zooming, facial blurring and enables quick and easy assembly of video evidence needed to deal with problems such as bullying, grazing or verbal abuse on school buses.
Passenger Health Check Initiative – during the year, Gatekeeper launched Intelligent Temperature Sensing System (ITSS) as its first health check offering. ITSS is a contactless infrared body temperature sensor system that incorporates a smart panel, thermal imaging, and artificial intelligence to measure body temperature within 20 milliseconds. The panel is equipped with facial recognition capabilities to improve accuracy and allows authorities to prepare future applications such as intelligent passenger routing, contact tracing, passenger counting, or payment verification.
The Company believes passenger health monitoring in public transportation is an emerging growth trend that will continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. An estimated 25 million schoolchildren and 18 million transit passengers board buses daily in the US alone, mostly at locations that are not stations which necessitates on-bus installations for passenger health screening devices. The Company is integrating ITSS into its PaaS platform business model as a new additional data layer.
NTSB Compliant Digital Video Recorders – during the year, Gatekeeper completed the design and supply of digital video recorders (DVRs) and crash hardened memory modules (CHMMs) that record and protect operating evidence in rail transit applications. The DVRs and CHMMs have continuous-recording capabilities that can be used to verify crew actions and train operating conditions, which greatly aids accident investigations in the same way black boxes are used in the airline industry.
They are compliant with the recommendation made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which calls upon the Federal Transit Administration to install crash-resistant inward and outward-facing cameras and continuous recorders in all rail transit vehicles. The Company completed its first installation, equipping the trains of the sixth largest transit authority in the US through a $6.3 million contract.
Annually Recurring Video Services – during the year, Gatekeeper was awarded a contract to provide annually recurring vehicle video system maintenance services to Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), the sixth largest transit authority in the US. The contract is valued at approximately $2.36 million per year and SEPTA has approved an initial three-year service term plus two one-year extension options for a total potential contract value of up to $11.8 million over five years. SEPTA is actively using video evidence as protection against fraudulent claims and has installed more than 27,000 video cameras on vehicles and in stations. Gatekeeper was deemed an essential business during the COVID-19 emergency order which temporarily prohibited operations of non-essential businesses in Pennsylvania.

“One of the cornerstones of the Vancouver Golf Tour from day one has been to ensure our player’s safety. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, VGT was quick to adopt an extensive list of COVID-19 safety protocols at our events so our players could continue to aspire to greatness, safely through our tour."
"With the introduction of Gatekeeper’s ITTS solution at our events for 2021, VGT is adding yet another layer of safety for our players and our operations team so we can continue to provide players in our region with the professional tournament experience they need to move onto the next level,” added Mulholland.
Doug Dyment, President and CEO of Gatekeeper commented: “For the past few months all of our employees have been conducting ITSS temperature checks before entering our manufacturing facility, and we have learned how ITSS can be effectively utilized in multiple market applications for both fixed and portable locations, especially where automated rapid temperature testing is required – such as sports venues. We are pleased to be working with the VGT as our first customer in this new application.”
ITSS is a contactless infrared body temperature sensor system that incorporates a smart panel, thermal imaging, and artificial intelligence to measure body temperature within 20 milliseconds. The panel is equipped with facial recognition capabilities to improve accuracy and allows customers to accommodate future applications such as automated contact tracing and membership verification.
The Company believes that public health monitoring is an emerging growth trend that will continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. It recently commenced a national marketing campaign designed to reach over 50,000 influencers and decision-makers to raise awareness of how ITSS can help organizations with health monitoring and contact tracing.
