Financial Highlights of the Full Year of 2020:

The Company's business performance is improving after business transformation initiatives over the past year. During 2020 we saw organic growth in the revenue from its core businesses which was further improved by increased revenue corresponding to the sale of towers.

The Company recorded total revenue of CAD$9,126,082 in 2020, a year over year increase of 68.6%. Gross Profit for the year 2020 was CAD$4,175,069 representing a year over year increase of 64.8%.

The improvement in our net loss is mainly due to the increase of the company´s revenues and a decrease in interest expenses.

As we now transition to local currency financings, we will also limit the cash flow´s impact of the currency devaluation that may happen on the countries that we operate.

Subsequent events:

On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a commercial bank for up to $11 million CAD (Colombian Peso $31,632,000,000).

On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a 7-year term for a series of BTS construction projects the first one being the construction of 220 towers. Third party is committed to spend 25% of the construction cost. This group previously had acquired a portion of the US Business “TCTS” Tower Construction and Technical Services Inc.

Outlook:

Mr. Alejandro Ochoa, CEO of Tower One, said, "To enhance Tower One's profitability we initiated a number of actions oriented to focus on our core business.

• We secured a 10 Year Credit Facility with local banks that will support or construction rollout. This Facility will allow for our portfolio to mature and seek additional colocation clients. In addition, this will also enhance our tax strategy as we look to build and hold, rather than sell our towers on a short-term basis.
• Currently we are underway to have the largest tower construction year (2021) in our company’s history estimated to be in the range of 120-200 additional towers.

Looking ahead to 2021 and although the COVID-19 outbreak has yet to be sustained we continue to enjoy the resilience of our core business, servicing investment grade customers under long-term contracts that provide a predictable stream of recurring revenue.”
