The mobile device market includes mobile phones, smart phones, notebooks, tablets, laptops, drones, wearables and

hearables (such as smart watches, smart headphones and ear buds, etc.), and an array of other devices.

World-wide mobile device annual sales are in the range of 2 billion phones, 400 million tablets/note- books and millions of

additional mobile devices. Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Lenovo, Sony, LG are the market leaders in device sales. There are

approximately 10 billion mobile devices in use or approximately 1.4 per capita, world-wide. World-wide, smart phone users

In summary, there are 4 fundamental truths about the mobile device market that will positively impact the mobile device

repair and parts markets: (1) The addressable market is very large, (2) The number of devices is growing rapidly and that

growth will continue for decades as more of the world’s population gets high-speed internet access, (3) Products are getting

increasingly smaller and lighter, and (4) Peoples’ reliance on technology and need for quick, convenient hardware repairs

Wireless Retail Repair Market:

Wireless retail repair operations in the United States range from one location companies to semi-large franchise

operations. The market is made up of one to two store owner-operated retail locations that act as a local “wireless

mechanic” with the beginning of consolidation happening in the market. Two of the largest companies within the space;

CPR: Cell Phone Repair and UBREAKIFIX are beginning to convert and open locations at a quicker-than-normal rate.

Although the expansion in the market is growing, GadgetFix® maintains dominance in the areas it operates in.

Since GadgetFix® inception in 2004, the wireless repair market has quadrupled to an estimated six billion in retail

sales. Most retail operations focus on several avenues of business with screen repair being the major driver of

revenue. Wireless repair locations also drive revenue through selling accessories, pre-owned devices, and computer/

virus repair.

The Company estimates that there are over 10,000 retail locations with only 15-20% of the market mix being large

repair operations. Over the next two years, the Company estimates an immense amount of consolidation, with the

operationally excellent organizations prevailing in the marketplace. GadgetFix® with its 10 locations stands out as not

only one of the early pioneers but is among the largest corporately operated chains that are growing and thriving.

GadgetFix® Has A Proven Business Model:

GadgetFix® has been operating for over 16 years in the wireless repair retail space, it is among the oldest and largest

repair companies in the industry. Over its tenure, GadgetFix® has seen several companies (national and local) come in

and out of business within the markets they operate. In addition, based on market knowledge, the average GadgetFix®

retail location does 30-50% more revenue than its’ competitors (national or local).

GadgetFix® management team is made up of individuals that have been in the market for as long as the company has

been around. Their experience is unmatched when looking at other management teams within the space. Given the

success of the company, the management team is truly remarkable in what they have been able to accomplish. The

fact that the company went from sub $1mm in sales in 2005 to a run of $3MM alone in retail revenue in 2018, they are

unmatched in corporately owned repair organizations. The company has not only withstood industry consolidation,

increased competition from local and national players, supply-chain problems in 2015, but has grown throughout all of

the market challenges that they faced.

The following paragraphs summarize management’s view of the six major risks (competitive risk,

supply chain disruption risk, technological change risk, mobile device price decline risk , lease

liability risk, and catastrophic risk) confronting the Company and, more generally, the mobile device

repair markets. Management will be glad to provide a more detailed analysis in conjunction with a

prospective buyer’s due diligence.

RISK #1 - COMPETITION

As the mobile device repair market has grown, it has attracted more players. That said, with the exception of a handful of medium-

sized franchise chains, all of the companies are small, privately owned companies which are typically owned by young

entrepreneurs in their 20’s and 30’s.

In summary, the risk from existing competitors is moderate. The degree of market fragmentation is a testament to the lack of

dominant competitors in the industry. The competitive factors are price, the consistency of product quality, product knowledge,

technician ability, warranty,

and customer service. Most of GadgetFix® direct competitors are at a disadvantage within the markets they co-habitate.

GadgetFix® has had over whelming success pushing out local and national players within the markets we occupy.

RISK #2 - SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION

Essentially all of the parts purchased by the Company are sourced from Shenzhen, China. It is a possibility that there could be

some disruption in our ability to source parts from China due to geopolitical events. There is also the potential for foreign currency

fluctuations that could negatively impact the affordability of parts manufactured in China and therefore the entire mobile device

repair industry. While there are some steps the Company can take to manage these risks, they are largely beyond our control.

Additionally, the parts manufacturing and wholesale supply business in China is opaque and rife with inaccurate or incomplete

information. Prices fluctuate sometimes without explanation. In late 2015, prices for iPhone 5, 5S, 6 and 6S displays increased

dramatically. Upon investigation, we learned that Apple’s OEM LCD manufacturers had historically sold their production overruns

into the secondary market, where they were aggregated and eventually sold to repair companies in the US and elsewhere. Although

Apple had long been aware of this practice, it took aggressive steps to stop this “leakage” in 2015 by requiring its subcontractors to

destroy overruns rather than resell them. While there was a temporary shortage in Apple aftermarket parts, secondary

manufacturers of LCD units have responded to the increased demand and prices have normalized. Longer-term, management needs

to continue to enhance our understanding of the Chinese wholesale parts market and develop an international distribution capability

to support the Company’s growth in domestic markets.

RISK #3 - TECHNOLOGICAL AND PRODUCT CHANGES

There are any number of technological enhancements that have been and will be made to mobile devices. Additionally, there are

many after-market products that are designed to protect mobile devices from physical damage including, but not limited to,

of 11 14

TRENDS & RISKS

Page 12: THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN GadgetFix® › shared › listings › 172 › 1724358 › ed259… · The mobile device market includes mobile phones, smart phones, notebooks, tablets,

protective cases, protective glass, and waterproofing substances. In fact, these products have been actively marketed to consumers

and commercial customers for years. That said, there is always the potential that some manufacturer will develop the

“indestructible” phone, notebook and/or PC. For many reasons, we believe that is highly unlikely, but there will undoubtedly be

changes in the design and complexity of mobile devices as the market evolves and to be successful, the Company will need to

continue to adapt to the ever changing needs of the marketplace.

RISK #4 - DECLINING PRICES FOR MOBILE DEVICES

When consumers damage their mobile devices, they need to consider the cost of replacing the device and the cost of repairing the

device. (They also need to consider other important factors such as recovering data stored on the device.) By way of example, if a

consumer could get a brand new replacement device for $120 and cost of repairing to the existing, damaged device was $110,

many consumers would just purchase a new, replacement device. However, if the cost of the new, replacement device was $500 or

more and the repair was less than $100, most consumers will opt for the repair. As a result, the viability of the repair market is in

part dependent upon the price-points for new mobile devices. This is why we have been diversifying our offering to focus

holistically on the device ecosystem.

That said - Apple and Samsung, the market leaders in smart phone sales, are heavily reliant on revenues from mobile device sales.

For 4Q – 2017 and 1Q – 2018, iPhone sales and IPad sales comprised 66% and 9%, respectively, of Apple’s total revenues. Mobile

phone sales comprise approximately 40% of Samsung’s total revenues.

Apple and Samsung are two of the world’s largest companies and presumably, they are going to do everything possible to sustain

the price points for these products. To do so, they will need to continue to innovate advancements in their products and maintain

strong brand recognition in the global consumer market.

RISK #5 - LEASE LIABILITY RISK

All retail companies face the same potential risk in that of their lease liability. GadgetFix® faces the same potential risk with its 10

corporately owned locations. Luckily, through a strong lease negotiation model and longevity within the current locations, the lease

liability is relatively low compared to other corporate-owned retail companies. The Company, from inception, has focused on

flexible short-term leases that provide the opportunity to move locations if necessary and to reduce the liability overall. The

average lease length left over the entire company is less than three years with renewals being even shorter terms.

RISK #6 - CATASTROPHIC EVENTS

Like most businesses, the Company does have to manage the risk of a natural catastrophe disrupting the Company’s operations.

You On the IT front, the Company has implemented appropriate data back-up and disaster recovery processes. These processes are

well documented and will be available for review in conjunction with due diligence.
