Nine-month revenue up 170.7% or $3,275,481 to $5,193,957 year over year

Net quarterly loss down 94.1% or $5,944,463 to $370,655 year over year

Geographic footprint increased to eight US Rideshare Rentals locations through Q3

$10.5M IPO proceeds used to reduce corporate debt and accelerate both vehicle deployment and geographic footprint growth to 12 cities as of December, 2019

BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2019 / YayYo, Inc. ("YayYo" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:YAYO), a leading provider of vehicles to the rideshare industry, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rideshare Car Rentals, LLC, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

"Our November IPO and subsequent public announcements represent the most recent data; however, the September quarter-end has important highlights including increased gross margins and year-over-year growth." Commented Jon Rosen, CEO. "We're pleased with the acceleration of auto inventory enabled by our Initial Public Offering in November. The IPO significantly reduced our debt and allowed us to generate valuable operating capital to rapidly acquire and deploy vehicles. We have a simple, strategic business model serving a massive and growing gig-economy. We operate with strong unit economics supporting robust demand among rideshare and delivery drivers." He added, "We expect the optimization of our balance sheet from the IPO to fuel near-term US footprint expansion, increase vehicle inventories, approach profitability and lead the market in 2020."

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

Increase in revenue due to additional cars in fleet
Gross margin improved to 38% compared to 28% for the third quarter of 2018 due to fleet mix optimization and demand-driven pricing
Additional revenues and higher gross margin led to lower net quarterly loss
Deployment of vehicles into 8 key US geographical markets
Pre-IPO 350 vehicle rental fleet size with an approximate 40% gross margins per transaction

Additional

YayYo recently opened offices in Miami, Dallas, Hoboken, Seattle, Chicago and San Diego

The company diversified its lease partners to include United MileFleet and LMP Automotive Holdings. The partnership with LMP also included fleet sourcing, adding to the company's vehicle diversity and faster, regional availability of cars for our rental fleet.

Our operations are organized into rideshare operations and fleet management.

Sacramento PD and El Segundo PD join LAPD, Santa Cruz Sheriff's Office and others in BolaWrap Deployment

TEMPE, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2019 / Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Wrap") (NASDAQ:WRTC), an innovator of modern policing solutions, reported that more than 15 police departments in California have received BolaWrap training as of December 22, 2019, and many are moving towards field deployment in early 2020.

Sacramento Police Department sent trainers to the Company's headquarters in Tempe, Arizona last week to receive BolaWrap training, and plan to deploy the BolaWrap in the field next month.

According to ABC10 in a recently published story, "In 2018, mental health-related calls in the Capital City [Sacramento] reached their highest level in three years with close to 11,000 calls for service. Officials said they hope the BolaWrap could be another tool in the officers belt."

"Sacramento is one of thousands of cities across the United States facing a rising number of mental health-related calls, causing police officers to essentially become the de-facto social services," said Mike Rothans, Chief Operating Officer at Wrap Technologies. "We created the BolaWrap to help solve precisely this issue. When someone calls the police on their potentially violent, mentally ill family member or friend, officers equipped with the BolaWrap can now secure the individual in crisis without causing harm."

El Segundo Police Department Chief Bill Whalen recently ordered several BolaWrap devices for his department to be deployed in the field.

Chief Whalen told Fox News in a nationally published story last Monday, "If this does what we think it's going to do and we're able to safely take people into custody… I really do think that you'll see this across law enforcement agencies nationwide and worldwide for that matter."

"It's exciting to see departments moving forward with field deployment," said Tom Smith, President of Wrap Technologies. "At the same time, we are continuing to see an increase in requests for BolaWrap demonstrations, training, and quotes, especially following Los Angeles Police Department's recent decision to deploy the BolaWrap in the field."

The Company held multiple demonstrations and Train the Trainers for police departments across the United States this month – links to some of the events covered by the media can be found below:

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2019 / BTU METALS CORP. ("BTU" or the "Company") (TSX:V:BTU) announces the following update on exploration activities and progress on a number of initiatives at its Dixie Halo Property adjacent to the Great Bear Resources Ltd. ("Great Bear") Dixie Project near Red Lake Ontario.

TNT TARGET

The current extent of the VTEM data only partially covers the TNT target, up to the boundary of the property prior to the acquisition of the East Extension claims announced on October 28, 2019. These data show the strength of the conductive portion of the TNT target to be increasing to the south. Historic data collected by Noranda Exploration in the area provides evidence that the TNT target continues southerly as a conductive electromagnetic target for at least an additional 500 metres on to the newly acquired East Extension property. The Company has applied for additional work permits for this area and expects to be in a position to drill test this part of the TNT target in Q1 2020. Other untested conductive airborne electromagnetic features will also be detailed and drill tested in Q1 2020.

Drilling has proceeded well, with holes 19-24 in the TNT target area now complete and core logging and sampling in progress. The first BTU drill hole of 2020 will commence January 6, 2020 on the TNT target.

Drill holes 12,13,19 and 20 were drilled on Line 12+00 North. Each of those holes intersected copper mineralization and drill hole 20, the most easterly drill hole (approximately 350 m east of hole 13) intersected copper mineralization near the collar of the hole. The Induced Polarization ("IP") anomaly on Line 12+00 North continues approximately 200m further east of drill hole 20, and this area will be drilled in the new year to test the extent of near surface mineralization. To date, drilling has spanned 500 metres east-west and each hole has intersected copper mineralization. Visual evaluation of the geological units intersected in the recent drilling points to the TNT target being a broad extensive zone of pyritic and sericitic alteration with intervals that contain intermittent chalcopyrite (copper) mineralization as well as minor, sphalerite (zinc), galena (lead), and molybdenite (molybdenum).

IP surveying will recommence the first week of January to trace the continuation of the very broad TNT IP anomaly identified between Line 4+00N and Line 14+00N. Interpretation of the recent VTEM data suggests a significant northerly extension of the broad chargeable zone that has been shown by drilling to result from accumulations of pyrite and chalcopyrite. The Company will also complete electromagnetic and IP surveying to the south on the East Extension property.

DIXIE CREEK

The Company is expecting the results of the Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbons ("SGH") sampling program in early January. Great Bear has reported that the SGH survey method successfully identified known areas of gold mineralization on their Dixie property just to the north of the north boundary of the Company's Dixie Halo main property. The Company collected sample material throughout the northeast portion of the Dixie Halo property in the area of the Dixie Creek target on the Company's property which covers part of the general trend of the significant gold discoveries made by Great Bear in the past six months. The upcoming report based on the results will help guide future drilling on this target area.

WARRANT EXERCISES

BTU has received in excess of $450,000 as a result of warrant exercises to date.

Figure 1: Overview of BTU Metals Dixie Halo Property

BTU CEO Paul Wood stated, "We want to thank our shareholders for their continued support. We are entering into 2020 in the advantageous position of being fully funded for both the next stage of our exploration program and our corporate G&A. The past couple of months have been very exciting with our team uncovering compelling evidence of a significant copper, silver and gold system. Looking forward to the New Year, we will continue our strategy of systematically exploring our two favorite targets: the polymetallic TNT target, and the Dixie Creek gold target. Come the Spring, we will also continue to prospect for new targets across our 20,000-hectare property. I'd like to wish our followers a very happy holiday on behalf of the whole BTU team, we are looking forward to continuing to grow our story with your support in the year ahead."

ABOUT A2Z TECHNOLOGIES CANADA CORP.

A2Z's principal activities have been the application of advanced engineering capabilities to the military/security markets as well as the adaptation of certain military products for the civilian market.
