**MIAMI,FL – August 09, 2023 – (NASDAQ: SKYX) (d/b/a “Sky Technologies”), a highly disruptive platform technology companywith over 60 pending and issued patents globally with a mission to make homes and buildings become safe and smart as the new standard,**today reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

SecondQuarter 2023 and Subsequent Operational Highlights

Generated<br> $15 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting a partial quarter of sales, including commencement of sales of its<br> smart and standard plug & play products.
Sequentially<br> reducing net cash used in operating activities to $2.5 million in the quarter.
Cash,<br> cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments available for sale totaled $23.7 million as of June 30, 2023, as compared to $16.8<br> million as of December 31, 2022.

--- ---
Successfully<br> acquired Belami E-commerce, a profitable conglomerate with 64 websites for lighting and home décor. The acquisition was primarily<br> funded using the Company’s stock, while the cash portion was funded by two major SKYX investors.
The<br> E-commerce acquisition is expected to enhance Company’s cash-flows, speed up time to market for SkyX ceiling safe plug &<br> play smart and standard products, as well as expand distribution across professional and retail segments while concurrently serving<br> as a marketing and education platform.

SafetyStandardization Highlights

The Company is eligible to apply for a building safety standardization requirement with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for its ceiling outlet receptacle and is expected to file its application within the next few weeks.

Management believes that after over 12 years of its standardization process including its product specification approval voting for by ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturing Association), it has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings. In the past 12 years the company’s product was voted into 10 segments in of the NEC Code Book. Voting decisions are at the discretion of the NEC voting members.

The Company’s code team is led by Mark Earley – former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and former Chief Electrical Engineer of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) – as well as Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of The American Lighting Association (ALA).

SecondQuarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2023 increased to $15.0 million in sales that include E-commerce sales as well as our smart and standard plug and play products, reflecting partial quarter of approximately 60 days of sales.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2023 increased to $4.7 million, or 31.3% of revenue. Gross profit was positively impacted by a partial quarter of gross profit from the aforementioned acquisition of Belami E-commerce.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments available for sale totaled $23.7 million as of June 30, 2023, as compared to $16.8 million as of December 31, 2022.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $2.5 million, as compared to $2.8 million in the same year-ago period.

Company’s current liabilities include a 2024 non-cash payment of $5.6 million payable in shares to the Belami shareholders as part of the acquisition consideration.

Operating expenses in the second quarter 2023 included $8.2 million in non-cash share-based payments and depreciation and amortization, $2.2 million of which were to new employees following the Belami acquisition, in addition to $5.0 million in cash for Belami SG&A and $3.7 million for SKYX SG&A totaling $17.0 million, as compared to SKYX $4.6 million (including $2.4 million of non-cash shared-based payments) in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in operating expenses were primarily driven by the acquisition of Belami, offset by the improved operating expenses of SKYX.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2023 included $8.7 million in non-cash share-based payments and depreciation and amortization, and $3.6 million in cash totaling $12.3 million, or $(0.14) per share, as compared to a loss of $4.6 million (including $2.4 million of non-cash shared-based payments), or $(0.06) per share, in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in operating expenses were primarily driven by the acquisition of Belami, offset by the improved operating expenses of SKYX.

ManagementCommentary

The second quarter of 2023 was highlighted by our first significant revenues that include sales and rollout of our ceiling smart and standard plug and play products that are now on 16 US and Canada leading websites. Despite being a partial quarter, it showed what we believe a promising cadence of sales with a robust gross margin profile, notably reducing the cash burn of SkyX on a sequential basis.

In addition to the acceleration of marketing, distribution channels, and sales to both professional and retail segments, the websites are expected to provide additional cash-flow to the Company, which, when combined with our existing cash, should be sufficient for at least 18 months of operations.

Weare encouraged by our commercial journey’s momentum, paving the way for our standardization efforts.

The 16 leading websites that include Company’s ceiling smart and standard plug and play products are 1stoplighting.com, Lightingdesignexperts.com, Canadalightingexperts.com, Americanlightingstore.com, Homeclick.com, and Lunawarehouse.com among others. The websites include banners, videos and educational materials regarding the simplicity, cost savings, time saving and lifesaving aspects of the of the Company’s patented technologies.
