MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the quarter ended 30 September 2021
Fab-Form Industries Ltd ("Fab-Form") is a leading eco-friendly concrete forming products manufacturer located in Vancouver, BC Canada. Since its inception in 1986, the Company has invented, developed, and commercialized foundation products that are greener and more sustainable for the building industry. The history of the company shows a continuous effort to develop new products that enable organic growth of the company. Fab-Form focuses on innovative solutions that have the lowest cost. Refer to key milestones shown on the right achieved by Fab-Form since its inception.
Fab-Form had another exceptional quarter with a robust increase in sales and profits. We are confident that the ICF market will continue to grow in the next few years.
There was dramatic growth of 218% for the Monopour in the third quarter over 2021. We have designed and are currently manufacturing new production machinery that will increase output by 300%.
Subsequent to the quarter-end the Company completed an issuance of shares for debt settlement, which completed on 28 October 2021. The Company issued 261,981 shares at $0.55 per share to settle creditors balance of $144,089.55. Insiders have participated in this transaction with 127,111 shares issued to them. Refer to SEDAR for the news release published on 28 October 2021.
On 17 November 2021, Fab-Form achieved a key milestone by entering into a Fabric Development Agreement with Hagihara Industries Inc, a company domiciled in Japan. This Agreement will enable both companies to research, test, and develop a unique fabric optimized for the Fast-Tube fabric column form. Concrete pressures in the fabric form induce tensile force in the weft direction only, not in the warp direction. Refer to SEDAR for the news release published on 24 November 2021.
Provisional designs for the Fast-Slab system have been completed subsequent to the quarter-end, and drawings for the patent application are in progress. We expect to complete the process during the winter.
As always, thank you, board members, shareholders, and progressive dealers and contractors for your continued support and commitment.
