It is excellent for high volume routes, but is big and unwieldy in residential neighbourhoods and presents a wasteful image when operating with few passengers. More and more systems are also realizing that service frequency builds ridership better than spatial coverage. In other words, more frequent service with smaller buses is far more attractive than less frequent service with larger ones. Smaller buses are perfect for this type of strategy and more and more systems are looking seriously at “Right-Sizing” their fleet by introducing smaller buses for portions of their route network that do not warrant 40-foot buses.” - Michael Roschlau, Grande West Strategic Advisor, former CEO of Canadian Urban Transit Association “We are committed to creating more efficient transportation options for our customers. That means building a more highly layered, customized service model. These new Vicinity vehicles allow our bus operators to travel safely into neighbourhoods where our standard fleet could not easily navigate while offering more space than our current Mobility bus options.” - Keith Parker, Former GM and CEO of Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) TSX-V:BUS OTC:GWTNF | www.grandewest.com 10 Historical Results – Revenue, Backlog & Gross Margin + 933% + 750% $70M Revenue $54M Revenue $53M Backlog $7.5M Revenue $6M Revenue $100M Backlog 180 Deliveries $61 Backlog $1M Revenue $18M Backlog 36 Deliveries 153 Deliveries Backlog - 160+ $6M Backlog 18 Deliveries Backlog - 175 6 Deliveries Backlog - 300 Backlog - 60 GM 12.5% GM 17% Backlog - 21 GM 0% GM 12% GM 0% 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 TSX-V:BUS OTC:GWTNF | www.grandewest.com !115 Selected Quarterly Information Q1 (March 31, 2019) 3 months ended, March 31, 2019 3 months ended, March 31, 2018 $ $ Revenue 5,733,034 22,440,211 Gross margin 1,340,084 3,020,971 Net (loss) income (680,400) 420,209 Basic and diluted loss per share (0.01) 0.01 March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 $ $ Cash and cash equivalents 247,880 2,732,437 Working capital 16,432,294 16,921,864 Total assets 39,171,081 40,445,904 Non-current financial liabilities 2,684,733 2,404,022 TSX-V:BUS OTC:GWTNF | www.grandewest.com 12 Balance Sheet Q1 (March 31, 2019) ASSETS Cash + Restricted Cash $600,222 Trade and other receivables
