We set three key goals for our operation and we delivered on them. We grew our same location service system sales (not including paper revenue) by 13% to $31.1 million USD; when we include paper revenue we were $40 million in system sales. We attained $3.5 million CAD in EBITDA with $3.0 million in EBITDA from existing locations. Finally, we expanded our foot print into two new markets, including Northern New Jersey, via $7.8M CAD in accretive acquisitions. Our corporate locations continued to provide a strong return on invested capital of 30.0% in 2018. The strong returns in 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 provided Redishred with the opportunity to raise $11M CAD in new equity at $0.60 per share. The new equity was issued to five new institutional investors and to a broadened retail investor base, creating increased liquidity for our shareholders. Redishred’s share price from December 30, 2017 to December 31, 2018 increased by 20.0%. The PROSHRED® system continued to perform, with system sales increasing by 17% in 2018 over 2017. Scheduled recurring system sales continued its steady climb, reaching $18.6M USD, representing 47% of our total system sales. These results reflect the dedication and hard work of our franchisees and the employees who support them to provide our clients with easy and exceptional client service using our on-site information destruction services. Redishred’s balance sheet improved materially in 2018. As noted, we raised $11 million of new equity in July. In the fall of 2018, Redishred’s truck financing line of credit was increased from $1M USD to $1.7M USD. With these transactions, we reduced debt as a percentage of total assets to 29%, which is a reduction of 31% from December 31, 2017. As at December 31, 2018, Redishred had $10M in existing banking facilities and cash on hand to react quickly to acquisition opportunities. Redishred invested just under $8 million in acquisitions in 2018. These acquisitions included the purchase of Shred Con in Up-State New York, On Guard Shredding in New York City and Safe Shred in Northern New Jersey. All the acquisitions have been cash flow positive since they were acquired, including transition costs. 6 Redishred Capital Corp. | Annual Report 2018 The Safe Shred acquisition in particular provided Redishred with the opportunity to enter the North New Jersey market, increasing the PROSHRED® location footprint. I am very pleased with the results of the acquisitions conducted in 2018, and we are looking forward to conducting further acquisitions in 2019 and beyond. As we enter 2019, we continue to be optimistic and poised for growth as we continue to focus on driving footprint growth by way of franchising and select acquisitions. We also continue to focus on recurring revenue growth by way of investment into sales and marketing resources, and operational efficiency by way of the deployment of enabling technology. to ensure we create automated yet We took the initial steps of investing in and developing an integrated technology platform. The technology goals included reducing the time it takes for sales calls to be transacted; ensuring data from the initial point of contact is replicated in our Client Relationship Management system, and individualized communication with our clients. The investment made in 2017 and early 2018 has allowed for enhanced and easy client interactions with PROSHRED® on the phone, email and other communication channels, as well as created a more efficient work flow for our franchisees and employees. It is our view that easier communication and easier workflow will allow us to spend more time educating our clients on the value of using PROSHRED®’s scheduled and recurring destruction services. This platform is being delivered by Redishred to our franchisees as part of their standard operating program. We believe that 2019 will be a strong year for Redishred, we expect stronger system sales (particularly scheduled recurring sales), better earnings from our franchised and corporate locations, and continued franchising and acquisition activity. Thank you for your interest in Redishred. I would like to personally invite you to attend our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 28, 2019 at 1:00 PM Atlantic Time at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, Halifax. I am looking forward to providing updates on our 2019 progress at that time.

AICR interprets the scientific literature and educates the public about the results. They have contributed more than $96 million for innovative research on the prevention of cancer. Cancer can be prevented. As a Company and a Franchise System, we have raised over $150,000 USD for AICR since 2014. This year marks the 6th anniversary of our annual, national Shred Cancer event that is held in early June. It is at this moment that many of us at PROSHRED® take more than a moment to remember David Wright, our former franchisee in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was a wonderful father and husband, a collaborative and bright business leader and, unfortunately, did not survive his battle with brain cancer. It is in his honour that we hold this event every year. Please join us in early June at your nearest PROSHRED® location to not only Shred your private information, but more importantly help join us in our endeavor to SHRED CANCER. Yours Truly, Jeffrey Hasham 10 Redishred Capital Corp. | Annual Report 2018 Securing Information at Your Door Redishred and its brand PROSHRED® is the innovator of the on-site destruction process.
