    MD&A Highlights

    Company Overview
    Armada Data Corporation (“Armada” or the “Company”) is an Information Services Company providing accurate and real‐time data, to institutional and retail customers, through developing, owning and operating automotive pricing related web sites and providing information technology and marketing services to its clients. The Company’s operations consist of five main segments: Insurance Services, Retail Services, Dealer Services, Information Technology (IT) Services, and Advertising/Marketing Services.

    The Insurance Services division derives its revenue from the sale of total‐loss replacement vehicle reports to major Canadian insurance companies.

    The Retail Services division derives its revenue from the sale of new car pricing data to consumers primarily through the Company’s flagship website www.CarCostCanada.com as well as the reselling of new car pricing data to qualified third party vendors, such as Consumers Union/Consumer Reports.

    The Dealer Services division generates revenue through the sale of new vehicle customer leads derived from membership sales from Car Cost Canada.

    The Information Technology division comprises web and email hosting, online marketing, search engine optimization, technical support and network support services (for both internal purposes resulting in saving the company from the costs associated with high price IT services and external sales/services purposes).

    The Advertising/Marketing Services division is made up of the sale of online third party website advertising, consulting fees and other new car or car business related marketing activities.

    Operations
    The Company’s total sales decreased by 7% in the quarter ended August 31, 2015, from $570,012in 2014 to $528,853. Comprehensive income increased from a loss of $(11,563) in the period ended August 31, 2014 to $70,175 in the period ended August 31, 2015.

    Liquidity
    Based on a cash position of $115,573 and accounts receivable of $275,514, management feels that the Company is in a good position to meet all current and foreseeable financial obligations. With the closing of the Mister Beer production facility, expenses have been reduced. The other divisions of Armada are poised for revenue gains this fiscal year as a result of new project and feature launches as well as more than one significant partnership that the Insurance and Retail Service teams are working on. Management believes that the data divisions will not only remain very stable and profitable but begin to make significant inroads in new verticals that will result from our partnerships, project releases and new revenue streams.

    Outlook
    The Company’s outlook is to continue to increase sales, update and improve our data services products and services, and deliver significantly better results to our shareholders by way of the following:
    1. Build on the historical success of the Company’s ongoing sales and marketing efforts focused on increasing sales at Retail Services, Dealer Services and Insurance Services.
    2. Exploit market awareness and demand for new vehicle pricing information and dealer referrals that result from the additional competition within that market space; by putting more emphasis on outside partners, data outsourcing and our underutilized online magazine TheCarMagazine.com
    3. Continue to improve our relationships with some of the largest insurance companies in Canada and partner with some of these organizations to produce new products and services for their vast client base.
    4. Maintain operating expenses and achieve the economies of scales of an Internet based business.
    5. Expand third‐party fee‐based online advertising, by developing improved and more secure advertising methods.
    6. Sale of the Mister Beer business line, or other forms of disposition.

    The CarCostCanada.com divisions (Retail and Dealer services) are not be void of the competition that has made significant advancements over the past three years; however, the divisions have now learned how to deal with our competition and overcome many of their tactics. The Retail and Dealer services division were competition-free for many years and had to re-group and re-strategize in order to prevent further erosion caused by an overly aggressive new competitor. Management expects CarCostCanada.com to start realizing market gains this fiscal year and with the overall new car market remaining poised for more growth nationally (and more specifically in the web-rich Canadian urban centres), the division plans to earn more members to enhance the new car buying process for the Canadian new car buying marketplace.

    Operations
    The Company’s total sales decreased by 6% in the quarter ended November 30, 2015, from $580,517 in 2014, to $545,409. Comprehensive income increased from a loss of $(71,214) in the period ended November 30, 2014 to $34,364 in the period ended November 30, 2015.

    The Insurance Services division experienced an 11% increase in revenue, from $252,525 in 2014 to $280,719 in 2015.

    The Retail Services division revenue was down 22% to $64,727 in 2015 from $82,826 in 2014. The updated CarCostCanada.com website, as well as the new Partners and Discounts program clearly helped the CarCostCanada.com membership program maintain a strong presence in the marketplace, despite increasing competition.

    The Dealer Services division revenue remained much the same, at $161,981 in 2014, and $162,013 in 2015. This division’s dealer development team has a plan to service the customers who find themselves without a dealer referral, although full implementation of this program has not been completed at the end of this period.

    The Advertising/Marketing Services division, which derives its revenue from the sale of online third party advertising on CarCostCanada.com and TheCarMagazine.com increased from $100 to $7,298.

    The Information Technology division revenue increased 11% to $30,652 in 2015, up from $27,550 in 2014. IT continues to offer technical support and web site hosting to hundreds of customers, and to develop new customer relationships on a regular basis.

    The Mister Beer division’s revenues are down from $55,535 to nil. Direct product costs and labour decreased from $53,633 to nil. The net income for Mister Beer Inc. went from $1,902 in 2014 to nil in 2015. Management made the decision to close the production facility on December 31, 2014, in order to explore options with respect to a sale or other disposition of the Bottle Brew business line. This division’s assets were disposed of during the period ended November 30, 2015.

    Total expenses before amortization decreased to $500,984 compared to $561,314, a 11% decrease over last year. This is attributed to ceasing production at Mister Beer Inc. and continued cost-cutting measures implemented by management during the previous quarter.

    Common Shares: 17.7 million, 50% held by directors
    Note: In 2011, ARD purchased Mister Beer and wrote it off in 2015
    Note: In 2012, a director and one of the largest shareholders passed away
    Note: CEO and 20% shareholder Jim Matthews loans company $200,000 Feb.2015
    Note: 2016 Sales only based on first three quarters. Year end will be out end of September

    2016 – Sales: $1.6M – Net Income: $186K – Assets: $854K – Liabilities - $597K – Dividends paid yearly

    After 10 years of sales, it’s clear to see how ARD.V had grown as a company from 2006 to 2011, even through the financial crisis of 2008. However, after the asset purchase of Mister Beer in 2011 and passing of director Paul Timoteo, the combination hurt the company from 2012 to 2015 and almost made it go bankrupt. With the directors now focused on the original five revenue producing assets, along with some cost reductions, ARD will be able to recover back to a profitable position and possibly pay dividends once again. So far after 9 months without Mister Beer, ARD has earned over 1 cent in net income and this should continue to carry forward.

    MD&A Highlights

    The Company’s total revenue increased by 12% in 2016 from $2,008,772 to $2,258,188. The Company reported comprehensive income of $283,547, due to the following factors: Management’s decision to close the brewing facility of Mister Beer on January 1, 2015 – the combination of no expenses for this division and disposal of its remaining assets meant that Mister Beer no longer had a negative financial impact on the Company. A sub-tenant was found for the brewing facility on November 1, 2015, to offset the rent expense of the lease obligation for these premises, and the Company is no longer responsible for utility, insurance and maintenance expenses for the same premises. Insurance claims increased drastically in May 2016 due to the Fort McMurray fires, and as a result, the insurance division revenue increased, which has carried over into June 2016 for fiscal 2017.

    The quarter ending May 31, 2016 finished with the Company recording revenue of $661,263 versus $463,056 last year, an increase of 43%. Income before taxes for the 4th quarter of 2016 is $97,589, compared to $(505,629) in 2015.

    Based on a year-end cash position of $231,242, accounts receivable of $417,171, accounts payable of $250,001, and current notes payable of $281,000, management believes that the company will remain in a debt position utilizing private financing to assist in ongoing operations of the Company. By closing the Mister Beer division, management has reduced overall expenses and commitments. The other divisions of Armada are poised for revenue gains this fiscal year as a result of new project and feature launches as well as more than one significant partnership that the Insurance and Retail Service teams are working on. Management believes that the data divisions will not only remain very stable and profitable but begin to make significant inroads in new verticals that will result from our partnerships, project releases and new revenue streams.

    The Retail and Dealer services division were competition-free for many years and had to re-group and restrategize in order to prevent further erosion caused by an aggressive competitor. Management expects CarCostCanada.com to start realizing market gains this fiscal year and with the overall new car market remaining poised for more growth nationally (and more specifically in the web-rich Canadian urban centres), the division plans to earn more members to enhance the new car buying process for the Canadian new car buying marketplace.

    The Company’s outlook is to continue to increase sales, update and improve our data services products and services, and deliver significantly better results to our shareholders by way of the following:
    Build on the historical success of the Company’s ongoing sales and marketing efforts focused on increasing sales at Retail Services, Dealer Services and Insurance Services.
    Exploit market awareness and demand for new vehicle pricing information and dealer referrals that result from the additional competition within that market space; by putting more emphasis on outside partners, data outsourcing and our underutilized online magazine TheCarMagazine.com
    Continue to improve our relationships with some of the largest insurance companies in Canada and partner with some of these organizations to produce new products and services for their vast client base.
    Maintain operating expenses and achieve the economies of scales of an Internet based business.
    Expand third-party fee-based online advertising, by developing improved and more secure advertising methods.

    Operations

    The insurance services division experienced an increase in revenue, from $909,656 in 2015 to $1,108,745 in 2016, or by 22 per cent. The increase in revenue was the result of fires in Fort McMurray in May, 2016, which resulted in an unusually high number of claims processed.

    The retail services division revenue was down 30 per cent to $227,038 from $323,012. The new CarCostCanada website and a new French language site devoted to the Quebec market were not effective enough to stop the steady decline of membership revenues due to a competitor providing a similar service. Membership over all remained steady as a result of regular promotions, and management decided to uphold a discounted membership fee to not lose further market share.

    The dealer services division revenue decreased from $695,017 in 2015 to $660,540 in 2016. Despite the larger decrease in membership sales, which drive the dealer lead-generation program, and some manufacturer intervention on the part of an automaker that discourages its dealer body from participating in any type of third party lead-generation program, this division managed to keep the reduction in revenue to 5 per cent.

    The advertising/marketing services division, which derives its revenue from the sale of on-line third party advertising on CarCostCanada and TheCarMagazine, increased from $12,251 to $74,624. Management was successful in its efforts to search out additional sources of revenue in this division.

    The information technology division revenue decreased by 5 per cent to $121,289 in 2016 from $127,649 in 2015. IT continues to offer technical support and website hosting to hundreds of customers, and is developing new customer relationships on a regular basis, as well as offering new services for sale.

    The Mister Beer division's revenues were down from $107,790 to $17,578, or 84 per cent. Direct product costs and labour decreased by 129 per cent, from $166,603 to $(48,374). The net revenue for Mister Beer Inc. went from $(58,813) in 2015 to $65,952 in 2016. Management made the decision to close this division and production facility, effective Jan. 1, 2015. On Aug. 31, 2015, the plant equipment was sold for $45,000, and on Nov. 1, 2015, a new subtenant took over the premises originally leased for the brewery.

    Armada's consolidated statement reflects income this year, before corporation income taxes of $359,015, compared with a loss before corporation income taxes of $(640,434) in 2015. Corporation income tax expense is $75,468 in 2016, compared with zero in 2015.

    Total expenses before amortization decreased to $1,857,802 compared with $2,137,421, a 13-per-cent decrease over last year. Management engaged in many cost-cutting measures to reduce expenses in 2016, including reductions in advertising, management salaries, computer consulting and rent.

    Accounts receivable increased to $417,171 as at May 31, 2016, from $267,182 last year, a result of the increase in insurance services revenue. Related-party accounts receivable increased from $3,493 to $3,780.

    Accounts payable decreased 2 per cent to $250,001 as at May 31, 2016, from $254,762 a year earlier. Related-party accounts payable decreased to $537 as at May 31, 2016, from $1,469 last year. Corporation income taxes payables are $42,955 as at May 31, 2016, compared with $110,623 as at May 31, 2015. For related-party notes payable, the current portion increased from $212,000 at May 31, 2015, to $281,000 at May 31, 2016, and the long-term portion went from $81,000 at May 31, 2015, to zero at May 31, 2016.

    As a result of the income reported by the company in 2016, the company's deficit decreased to $(1,551,269) as at May 31, 2016, compared with $(1,834,816) the prior year. Earnings per share at May 31, 2016, are two cents, versus (four cents) per share at May 31, 2015.

    No dividends were paid out to shareholders in fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015. Management does not plan on issuing any dividends until further notice.

    Liquidity

    Based on a year-end cash position of $231,242, accounts receivable of $417,171, accounts payable of $250,001 and current notes payable of $281,000, management believes that the company will remain in a debt position using private financing to assist in continuing operations of the company. By closing the Mister Beer division, management has reduced overall expenses and commitments. The other divisions of Armada are poised for revenue gains this fiscal year as a result of new project and feature launches, as well as more than one significant partnership that the insurance and retail service teams are working on. Management believes that the data divisions will not only remain very stable and profitable, but begin to make significant inroads in new verticals that will result from the company's partnerships, project releases and new revenue streams.

    Outlook

    The company's outlook is to continue to increase sales, update and improve its data services products and services, and deliver significantly better results to its shareholders by way of the following:

    Build on the historical success of the company's continuing sales and marketing efforts focused on increasing sales at retail services, dealer services and insurance services;
    Exploit market awareness and demand for new vehicle pricing information and dealer referrals that result from the additional competition within that market space by putting more emphasis on outside partners, data outsourcing and the company's underused on-line magazine TheCarMagazine;

    Some new CarCostCanada promo videos were released over the summer. This is a good sign since the last batch was made over 4 years ago when the old CEO was still running the company and ARD was trading around the $0.20 mark. Q1 results will be out either this Friday or next Monday.

    The videos were taken down at that link. However, they exist on another Vimeo channel and the marketing company's website.

    The company helps its customers buy a brand new vehicle for a lower price, but the struggle they faced was that many did not undersand their services. We were appraoched by CarCostCanada to come up with an idea to illustrate their product in a coherent and creative fashion, so we did it through humour. We produced a 5-part series that explains their list of services in a light-hearted and quirky approach; join Max and Bob to tell you all about it!

    MD&A Highlights

    The Company’s total sales increased by 11% in the quarter ended August 31, 2016, from $528,853 in 2015, to $587,134. Comprehensive income increased from $70,175 in the period ended August 31, 2015 to $144,853 in the period ended August 31, 2016.
    The Insurance Services division experienced a 32% increase in revenue, from $239,927 in 2015 to $316,500 in 2016. This is a continuing result of the fires in Fort McMurray and expanding upon existing customer relationships, mergers and acquisitions within the Canadian insurance company landscape and policy driven mandates within insurance companies to use the Armada Insurance Services replacement value settlement protocol.
    The Retail Services division revenue was down 17% to $52,275 in 2016 from $62,875 in 2015.
    The Dealer Services division revenue decreased 12%, from $179,571 in 2015, to $157,770 in 2016.
    The Advertising/Marketing Services division, which derives its revenue from the sale of online third party advertising on CarCostCanada.com and TheCarMagazine.com, increased from $27,088 to $28,580, or 6%.

    The Information Technology division revenue increased 65% to $32,009 in 2016, up from $19,392 in 2015. IT continues to offer technical support and web site hosting to hundreds of customers, and to develop new customer relationships on a regular basis.
    Total expenses before amortization decreased to $432,503, compared to $447,913, a 3% decrease over last year. This is attributed to ceasing production at Mister Beer Inc. and continued cost-cutting measures implemented by management.
    Cash on hand increased from $115,573 as at August 31, 2015 to $256,580 as at August 31, 2016. Accounts receivable increased by 81%, $498,019 as at August 31, 2016, compared to $275,514 last year. Related party accounts receivable decreased from $8,484 to $6,340. Accounts payable decreased to $205,680 as at August 31, 2016 from $225,605 a year earlier. Related party accounts payable decreased to $nil as at August 31, 2016, from $1,017 last year.
    Based on a cash position of $256,580, accounts receivable of $498,019, accounts payable of $205,680, and current notes payable of $278,000, management feels that the Company is in a good position to meet all current and foreseeable financial obligations. With the closing of the Mister Beer production facility, expenses have been reduced. The other divisions of Armada are poised for revenue gains this fiscal year as a result of new project and feature launches as well as more than one significant partnership that the Insurance and Retail Service teams are working on. Management believes that the data divisions will not only remain very stable and profitable but begin to make significant inroads in new verticals that will result from our partnerships, project releases and new revenue streams.
    The Company’s outlook is to continue to increase sales, update and improve our data services products and services, and deliver significantly better results to our shareholders by way of the following:
    1. Build on the historical success of the Company’s ongoing sales and marketing efforts focused on increasing sales at Retail Services, Dealer Services and Insurance Services.
    2. Exploit market awareness and demand for new vehicle pricing information and dealer referrals that result from the additional competition within that market space; by putting more emphasis on outside partners, data outsourcing and our underutilized online magazine TheCarMagazine.com

    The retail services division revenue was down 17 per cent to $52,275 in 2016, from $62,875 in 2015.

    The dealer services division revenue decreased 12 per cent, from $179,571 in 2015 to $157,770 in 2016.

    The advertising/marketing services division, which derives its revenue from the sale of on-line third party advertising on the Car Cost Canada and The Car Magazine websites, increased from $27,088 to $28,580, or 6 per cent.

    The information technology division revenue increased 65 per cent to $32,009 in 2016, up from $19,392 in 2015. IT continues to offer technical support and website hosting to hundreds of customers, and to develop new customer relationships on a regular basis.

    Total expenses before amortization decreased to $432,503, compared with $447,913, a 3-per-cent decrease over last year. This is attributed to ceasing production at Mister Beer Inc. and continued cost-cutting measures implemented by management.

    Cash on hand increased from $115,573 as at Aug. 31, 2015, to $256,580 as at Aug. 31, 2016.

    Accounts receivable increased by 81 per cent, or $498,019, as at Aug. 31, 2016, compared with $275,514 last year. Related party accounts receivable decreased from $8,484 to $6,340.

    Accounts payable decreased to $205,680 as at Aug. 31, 2016, from $225,605 a year earlier. Related party accounts payable decreased to zero as at Aug. 31, 2016, from $1,017 last year.

    The company's deficit decreased to $1,406,416 as at Aug. 31, 2016, compared with a deficit of $1,764,641 last year.

    Management does not plan on issuing any dividends until further notice.

    MD&A Highlights

    The Company’s total sales increased by 14% in the quarter ended November 30, 2016, from $545,409 in 2015, to $624,214. Comprehensive income increased from $34,364 in the period ended November 30, 2015 to $117,740 in the period ended November 30, 2016.

    The Insurance Services division experienced a 25% increase in revenue, from $280,719 in 2015 to $352,176 in 2016. This is a continuing result of expanding upon existing customer relationships, mergers and acquisitions within the Canadian insurance company landscape and policy-driven mandates within insurance companies to use the Armada Insurance Services replacement value settlement protocol.

    The Retail Services division revenue was down 15% to $55,260 in 2016 from $64,727 in 2015.

    The Dealer Services division revenue decreased 4%, from $162,013 in 2015, to $155,775 in 2016.

    The Advertising/Marketing Services division, which derives its revenue from the sale of online third party advertising on CarCostCanada.com and TheCarMagazine.com, increased from $7,298 to $26,700.

    The Information Technology division revenue increased 12% to $34,303 in 2016, up from $30,652 in 2015. IT continues to offer technical support and web site hosting to hundreds of customers, and to develop new customer relationships on a regular basis.

    Total expenses before amortization decreased to $496,696, compared to $500,984, a 1% decrease over last year. Cash on hand increased from $196,813 as at November 30, 2015 to $457,723 as at November 30, 2016. Accounts receivable increased by 46%, $334,324 as at November 30, 2016, compared to $229,594 last year. Related party accounts receivable increased from $4,037 to $4,166. Accounts payable decreased to $160,951 as at November 30, 2016 from $293,011 a year earlier. Related party accounts payable decreased to $1,894 as at November 30, 2016, from $4,538 last year.

    Salaries and expenses are paid to an officer of the Company, who is also 50% shareholder of Lease Busters Inc. Office space is rented from Lease Busters Inc. Legal fees are paid to a law firm, of which a partner is a (non-remunerated) director of the Company. Financing was acquired from a company owned by a director of Armada Data Corporation, and interest is paid to this company on a monthly basis. All of the actual costs noted in this section are paid at fair market value in the normal course of business.

    Based on a cash position of $457,723, accounts receivable of $334,324, accounts payable of $160,951, and current notes payable of $275,000, management feels that the Company is in a good position to meet all current and foreseeable financial obligations. With the closing of the Mister
    Beer production facility, expenses have been reduced. The other divisions of Armada are poised for revenue gains this fiscal year as a result of new project and feature launches as well as more than one significant partnership that the Insurance and Retail Service teams are working on.

    Management believes that the data divisions will not only remain very stable and profitable but begin to make significant inroads in new verticals that will result from our partnerships, project releases and new revenue streams.

    The Retail and Dealer services division were competition-free for many years and had to re-group and re-strategize in order to prevent further erosion caused by an overly aggressive new competitor. Management expects CarCostCanada.com to start realizing market gains this fiscal year and with the overall new car market remaining poised for more growth nationally (and more specifically in the web-rich Canadian urban centres), the division plans to earn more members to enhance the new car buying process for the Canadian new car buying marketplace.

    Outlook
    The Company’s outlook is to continue to increase sales, update and improve our data services products and services, and deliver significantly better results to our shareholders by way of the following:
    1. Build on the historical success of the Company’s ongoing sales and marketing efforts focused on increasing sales at Retail Services, Dealer Services and Insurance Services.
    2. Exploit market awareness and demand for new vehicle pricing information and dealer referrals that result from the additional competition within that market space; by putting more emphasis on outside partners, data outsourcing and our underutilized online magazine TheCarMagazine.com
    3. Continue to improve our relationships with some of the largest insurance companies in Canada and partner with some of these organizations to produce new products and services for their vast client base.
    4. Maintain operating expenses and achieve the economies of scales of an Internet based business.
    5. Expand third-party fee-based online advertising, by developing improved and more secure advertising methods.

    Operations

    The company's total revenue increased by 20 per cent in the period ended Nov. 30, 2017, to $758,242 from $633,385 in the same period a year earlier. Comprehensive income increased to $166,941 in this quarter, up 42 per cent from $117,741 at Nov. 30, 2016.

    The insurance services division experienced an increase in revenue from $352,177 in the three months ended Nov. 30, 2016, to $382,744 in 2017, or by 9 per cent. The increase in revenue was the result of the concerted effort by the insurance division to process more claims faster.

    The company has combined the retail, dealer and advertising/marketing divisions into one segment, known as CarCostCanada, due to the fact that the revenues earned by these divisions come directly or indirectly from the CarCostCanada website and as the company has moved into free trial memberships, the business model for the former retail services division has changed. CarCostCanada revenue was up 31 per cent to $311,960 from $237,735 in 2016. An increase in dealer sales, along with the expansion into Quebec, accounts for this increase in revenue.

    The information technology (IT) division revenue increased by 46 per cent to $63,538 in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 ended Nov. 30, 2017, from $43,473 in the same quarter in fiscal 2017. The IT division continues to offer technical support and website hosting to hundreds of customers and is developing new customer relationships on a regular basis, as well as offering new services for sale.

    Expenses in this second quarter of fiscal 2018 before amortization increased to $581,435, compared with $505,866, a 15-per-cent increase over the same period last year.

    As a result of the income reported by the company in this quarter ended Nov. 30, 2017, the company's deficit decreased to $839,709 compared with $1,142,417 at the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2016. Earnings per share at Nov. 30, 2017, are one cent, unchanged from one cent per share at Nov. 30, 2016.

    Management does not plan on issuing any dividends until further notice.

The following is a short list of initiatives that Armada is building upon to add shareholder value:

    Continue to enhance the CarCostCanada new car data, display quality, and membership features and benefits;
    Build upon the existing CarCostCanada national on-line and traditional marketing and awareness programs as well as enhance the membership registration process;
    Forge new and sophisticated partnerships with its insurance company clients, car business suppliers and new car marketing agencies to grow the CarCostCanada membership base;
    Develop new first-to-the-market tools and features that will provide new car buyers with additional tools to improve their new car buying experience and relationships with their new car dealerships;
    Continue the company's growth pattern in the insurance services division by adding additional Canadian insurance companies to its client list.
