contingencies, uncertainties and other risks that may cause AirBoss’ actual financial results, performance or achievements to be materially different from its

actual financial results, performance or achievements

to be materially different from its estimated future results, performanceor achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking information. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking information, including without limitation: impact of general economic

potential litigation; ability to obtain financing on

acceptable terms; environmental damage and non- compliance with environmental laws andregulations;

impact of global health situations; potential product liability and warranty claims and equipment

financial position or results of operations in future periods. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of AirBoss’ forward- looking information.

AirBoss Defense Group

Product Opportunity Potential

Timeline

Low Burden

Mask

• Latest generation CBRN mask

• Recently won technical competition for European NATO countries but edged out on pricing

• Working on lowering costs in preparation for upcoming U.S. competition, and potential for supply to other European countries including special forces

• 2024 and onwards

Blast Gauge®

• Exposure to blast over pressure proven to contribute to PTSD, hearing loss, sight loss, brain damage, suicide

• Bi-partisan support of U.S. Congress for military to monitor overpressure

• Currently in full field testing with U.S. Army and in competition for SOCOM

• Systems to be replaced annually

• 2022 and onwards

PAPRs

• N95 masks not ideal in high shedding environments

• COVID-19 anticipated to result in medical equipment being purchased like defense products: centralized purchases, strategic stockpiling and domestic supply chain priority

• Successful on-time, on-budget delivery of sole sourced awards to FEMA and HSS illustrates leading competitive position and scalability to international bodies

• Filters and hoods present ongoing recurring revenue potential following supply of initial systems

• Online portal launched to deliver direct to healthcare, manufacturing, personal care, and waste cleanup fields

• Ongoing, though

potential for major

contracts not anticipated in H1 2021

RDWS

• Rollovers are a leading cause of casualties

• RDWS advises of impending vehicle rollover conditions based on terrain, operation, and vehicle limitations/ parameters

• Recently won award for delivery in 2021 from 2nd Cavalry Regiment, unit of U.S. Army Europe

• Competitive advantage in that we record all data, can load into software, and installation possible within minutes • Ongoing

Bandolier

• Patented multi-purpose lightweight explosive clearing charge to clear obstacles on battlefield

• Bridges capability gap between larger, complicated breaching charges and standard bulk demolitions

• First commercial sale in April 2020: Netherlands Defense Meteriel Organisation (DMO) placed an initial order of 500 systems and training programs as part of a 5-year program to advance their demolitions capabilities

• Contract vehicle provides the ability for all 30 NATO member countries to easily procure Bandolier systems

• Ongoing

Financial Review & Outlook

REVIEW

• Turnaround strategy for AEP began successfully in 2020, though hindered by COVID-19 impact on automotive (-20.5% decline in N.A. production in 2020F1) and related rubber production volumes:

• Moved into supply of anti-vibration components for non-auto; almost 10% of 2020E sales, with target to have balance between auto and non-auto in five years

• Customer retention has been high with no shrink in base; ~80-90% rollover annually

• Undertaking cost containment through:

New robotic work cell installed during year; second robotic work cell scheduled for H2 ‘21

❑ Shifting lower margin production volumes to Malaysia

• Became supplier to AirBoss Defense Group

OUTLOOK

• North American car/light truck production estimated to grow at ~4.8% annually between 2020 and 2025, with large rebound in 20211

• Rebound in volumes following COVID-driven decline in 2020 dependent on continued impact of COVID on U.S. economy

• AEP target of getting close to EBIT breakeven in near term if economy normalizes
