Management Commentary
“We are excited to have completed our first project for the Clark County School District in Nevada, the fifth largest school district in the U.S., which has opened the door to additional opportunities, not only with Clark County but with other educational institutions, law enforcement agencies and other government agencies throughout the U.S.,” said Kai-Shing Tao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Remark Holdings. “We continue to work diligently to convert those opportunities to revenue by delivering what we believe are world-class computer vision solutions and customer service that provides large cost savings and improved security processes for our target markets,” concluded Mr. Tao.

Second Quarter 2024 Business Highlights
•Remark AI announced the Clark County School District Board of Trustees, which represents the fifth largest school district in the US including the city of Las Vegas, unanimously approved and awarded a one-year, $5 million weapons detection contract to Remark Holdings and two others. This win showcases our ability to scale and work closely with the largest school districts of comparable size in providing dependable AI-powered safety solutions. The contract includes nine one-year extension options, valued at $5 million annually.

•Remark AI showcased its Fire and Smoke, Smart City, and Smart Agent solutions at the NYC Smart City Expo (May 22-23) in conjunction with Oracle and NVIDIA. The success and uniqueness of our AI Products has led to additional POCs to help the top 100 US cities turn into a modern 21st century smart city.

•Remark AI completed its migration to the Microsoft Azure Platform, preparing Remark’s Smart Safety Platform (SSP) to be Marketplace ready, allowing Microsoft’s global salesforce to begin selling Remark’s SSP across multiple industry verticals and through established systems integrators.

•Completed POC at the headquarters train station for a large European railway system with over 600 stations, deploying our AI-powered passenger counting, fare evasion, fire and smoke detection, and unattended baggage detection analytics. The success of this POC has led to current contract negotiations to close a deal in the second half of 2024.

•Completed successful POC for Migrant Center in one of the largest Sanctuary Cities, where we deployed our AI powered facial recognition, fight warnings, fire and smoke detection, as well as weapons detection


analytics. The success of this POC has led to preparations to deploy our technology across multiple city agencies as we negotiate to close a contract for the second half of 2024.
