Q2 2024 PERFORMANCE

ADDITIONAL Q2 AND RECENT EVENTS

Technology Development

OMNIQ has been reinvesting in our technology, as well as creating strategic partnerships to create more value for our customers and to stay ahead in the competitive areas in which we operate. We have upgraded our AI engine to be applicable to new use cases for existing and new customers. In this way, we can expand our market share, increase the size of purchase orders, and create ongoing revenue streams where in the past it would have been a one-time purchase.

One notable new use case since the last quarter is restricted area access. Instead of just allowing or disallowing access to a whole campus, we can set specific areas to only allow authorized personnel and to either alert security or create citations for unauthorized vehicles. One simple example of this is a student parking in a staff lot, or someone without a tag parking in a handicap space. These are practical applications that we can add onto existing and future AI deployments for additional customer satisfaction and additional revenue for OMNIQ.

Strategic Expansion in Security Operations: Some notable recent deployments that are taking advantage of the new features are two major medical centers: in Ohio and Texas.

Strong IoT Business: We are still utilizing our IoT business to retain long-lasting customers relationships, as well as bring in new business. In addition, we are able to offer our SaaS product lines to existing IoT customers that would benefit from these products.

Strategic Business Moves:

OMNIQ stock began trading on OTCQB on August 1st. This is an uplisting from OTCPK and underscores the Company's sustained financial stability and adherence to high standards of corporate governance and disclosure.

The transition to OTCQB is expected to provide current and potential investors with better trading conditions, including improved market depth and reduced spreads. Additionally, it highlights the Company's ongoing efforts to meet rigorous financial and operational standards.

Investors can find real-time Level 2 quotes and market information for OMNIQ at www.otcmarkets.com under the ticker symbol "OMQS."

OMNIQ has also entered into an agreement with Ingenico, a - global leader in payments acceptance solutions. OMNIQ Corp. will leverage its innovative fintech software alongside Ingenico's state-of-the-art payment solutions. This strategic alliance aims to enhance and streamline payment across various industries, marrying OMNIQ's AI-driven technology solutions with Ingenico's global expertise in payment.

SHAREHOLDER UPDATE
Management has been and will continue to enact its plan to regain profitability as quickly as possible. To do this, we have been reducing expenditures wherever it doesn't reduce the ability to operate effectively. Management has also placed a strategic focus on growing business with prime customers and on the most profitable product lines.

By offering SaaS and revenue share products to existing customers, we are able to increase our revenue without incurring additional material costs of goods. R&D has been dedicated to completing these products and we were proud to launch seeQ last quarter.

We have also continued to leverage our IoT, Fintech, and AI business so that we can provide value for and maintain relationships with our Fortune 100 customers.
