MICS Singing Machine Company Inc

The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“Singing Machine”) (NASDAQ: MICS) – the worldwide leader in consumer karaoke products, recently announced it has successfully completed the acquisition of SemiCab, Inc. (“SemiCab”), a leading artificial intelligence technology company in the global logistics space. Today, the Company provided an update on the integration process for the newly created operations under SemiCab Holdings, LLC.

The Company currently has key executives in India, completing the final prerequisites for the acquisition of SMCB Solutions Private Limited (“SMCB”), the wholly owned Indian subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc. SMCB has recently completed its annual audit as a small and medium enterprise (“SME”) under the Indian national regulatory regime. Concluding SMCB’s audit, the Company is now currently underway to complete the acquisition of this subsidiary in the next 45 days.

The Indian operations for SemiCab are expected to be the primary driver for near term revenue growth and new client acquisition. This subsidiary is expected to add approximately $1.35 million in last twelve months sales as of March 31, 2024 (unaudited). This subsidiary currently has in excess of $9 million in contracted services in the pipeline from existing client commitments. This sales backlog does not include incremental sales from two of SemiCab’s largest customers, who are currently finalizing their increased renewal commitments, which are expected to add meaningfully to the $9 million backlog.

“The acquisition of SemiCab’s Indian operates will be the final step in our integration of their AI logistics business into our new holding company structure,” commented Gary Atkinson, CEO of The Singing Machine. “For our team, this has always been the primary rationale for the SemiCab acquisition from the onset. The immediate impact over the next 12 months from our Indian operations is expected to be our largest source of overall revenue growth.”

“SemiCab has benefitted from some world-class early adopters of our leading AI solutions for global logistics. We are aggressively pursuing growth in that geography through both the expansion of our existing customer relationships, as well as adding new clients through the National Digital Freight Exchange. This is our single most important growth opportunity for the foreseeable future,” concluded Mr. Atkinson.
