Audited Annual Statements for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2022

Plaintree announced today that it has released its audited consolidated financial statements and related management discussions and analysis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

During fiscal 2022, Plaintree realized revenues of $16,192,530, compared to fiscal 2021 revenues of $12,659,689. Plaintree ended fiscal 2022 year with net loss before income tax expense of $200,856 compared to earnings of $893,941 in fiscal 2021.

On March 30, 2022 Plaintree closed its acquisition of the Elmira Stove Works business by acquiring, through a wholly owned subsidiary, all of the shares of Hendrick Energy Systems Inc. and Elimira Direct Limited. Further details regarding the acquisition were set out in Plaintree's press release issued on March 29, 2022. Following the closing, the Elmira Stove Works business was moved from its Elmira Ontario location to Plaintree's Arnprior, Ontario facilities. This move was successfully completed by mid-April 2022 and the Elmira Stove Works business will now be operated out of the Company's Arnprior Ontario facilities. Due to the end of fiscal 2022 closing, little of the Elmira Stove Works business form part of the financial results disclosed today. Only one (1) day of results are included in the statements and certain acquisition expenses incurred prior to the year-end will be included as part of the Company's finance and administration expenses for fiscal 2022. The Elmira Stove Works business will start being meaningfully reflected in Plaintree's fiscal 2023 results.

'Regarding Elmira Stove Works joining Plaintree,' said David Watson CEO' We are proud that we are now the only truly Canadian Manufacturer of large appliances and are very excited about the potential for this company that is recognised all over North America.'
