Comments
Commenting
on the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2023, Brian Haugli, President and Chief Executive Officer of SideChannel said, “In
May 2023, we announced that our primary focus was to pursue positive cash flow from operations, and I am pleased to see our continued
progress toward that goal. If the current trends continue, we expect to achieve this objective during this fiscal year. When we transition
from burning cash to generating cash on a quarterly basis, I anticipate that we will renew our investments in marketing and selling activities.”
“We
still consider Enclave to be in a beta phase with managed, incremental adoption by select customers. Our beta program is providing valuable
feedback and insight that we intend to use in our go-to-market strategy for Enclave, which combines critical risk management tools supported
by a simple, efficient management console.” said Haugli.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
press release may contain forward-looking statements, including information about management’s view of SideChannel’s future
expectations, plans and prospects, subject to the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
“Act”). In particular, when used in the preceding discussion, the words “believes”, “hopes”, “expects”,
“intends”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “potential”, “could”, “should”
or “may”, and similar conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Act and are subject to the safe harbor created by the Act and otherwise. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flows, results of operations, uses of cash and other measures of financial performance.
Because
forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause SDCH’s
actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These
risk factors include, but are not limited to: that we have incurred net losses since inception, our need for additional funding, the
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and the terms of any future funding we raise; our dependence on current
management and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; competition for our products; our ability to develop and successfully
introduce new products, improve current products and innovate; unpredictability in our operating results; our ability to retain existing
licensees and add new licensees; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to protect our intellectual property (IP), enforce our
IP rights and defend against claims that we infringed on the IP of others; the risk associated with the concentration of our cash in
one financial institution at levels above the amount protected by FDIC insurance; and other risk factors included from time to time in
documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These reports
are available at www.sec.gov.
Other
unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected or represented in the forward-looking statements. Further, factors that we do not presently deem material as of the date of
this release may become material in the future. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the
date hereof. SideChannel cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Accordingly, you should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Finally, SideChannel undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements after the date of this release, except as required by law, nor any obligation to update or correct information prepared by
third parties.
