Management Commentary

“The introduction of Aspire’s caffeine-based “Buzz Bomb™” Sublingual Pre-Workout energy supplement has the ideal unique characteristics to disrupt the fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar Sports Nutrition and Fitness market,” said Kraig Higginson, Chief Executive Officer of Aspire. “We are excited about the early feedback from fitness trainers and athletes-who love how clean and simple our product is–and we look forward to the implementation of our phased marketing plan as we prepare for our market launch in the early third quarter. Initial production, performed by Desert Stream, a leading private label manufacturer in the health and wellness industry, has proceeded as planned and we expect to have ample product available for consumer testing and launch.

While we are initially focused on the fitness pre-workout market, we believe the product also has tremendous broad market appeal in the Cognitive Focus and Energy Boost markets for professionals seeking a safe, healthy way to meet energy demands at work. We believe it may also appeal to a growing Health and Nutrition market as a weight loss enhancement, and as a coffee alternative, providing the taste, energy, and cognitive boost of coffee, while on the go, without the adverse effects of disrupting the gut micro biome and the liver, that is associated with long term coffee consumption.”

Higginson added, “As part of our commercial and revenue strategy, BUZZ BOMB™, is expected to provide Aspire with the opportunity for rapid, cost-effective market entry, and early revenue and cash flow while we complete our FDA clinical trials and application process for our high-dose aspirin product.”

BUZZ BOMB™: Disruptive Characteristics

The Pre-Workout supplement market segment is flooded with many options for energy boosting and hydration products. Many, if not most, of these products today are based on a powdered “mix + water” combination that take 20-30 minutes to digest and begin to provide performance benefits. This disadvantage complicates use, response management, caffeine control, and effectiveness. In contrast, Buzz Bomb™ provides nearly instant energy, in easy-to-use small sublingual packets, which can be taken right before and during work out as needed.

Market research shows that immediacy, ease of use and time management (take as needed, when needed) ranks highest in consumer preferences. Buzz Bomb™ offers potentially disruptive benefits and product characteristics that is expected to drive market penetration with significant differentiation, leading to rapid customer conversion, acquisition, and brand identity in this market.

Aspire’s sublingual nano technology is designed to deliver caffeine directly to the blood stream, bringing its unique disruptive benefits to the Pre-Workout market. These unique benefits provide significant product differentiation from powder mix beverage products that currently dominate the market segment.

BUZZ BOMB™ Disruptive Features:

• Speed – works nearly immediately vs. 20-30 minutes

• Convenience – easy to use small packets vs. mix beverages

• Energy management – use as needed, when needed to manage energy

• Single Safe Ingredients – well known benefits and use of caffeine

• Low manufacturing & packaging costs – competitive pricing with high margin potential

• Easy powerful product demonstration – enabling low-cost sample kits

The news: Nvidia reported revenue of US$44.1 billion ($68.6 billion) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up 12% from the previous quarter and up 69% from a year ago, with data centre revenue of US$39.1 billion.

The forecast was in line with analysts’ estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The numbers:
The company incurred a US$4.5 billion charge in the quarter due to new US export licensing requirements for H20 products to China, resulting in US$2.5 billion in H20 revenue that could not be shipped, it said.

Nvidia’s outlook for fiscal Q2 reflects a loss in H20 revenue of approximately US$8 billion due to the recent export control limitations, it said. It expects total revenue to be US$45 billion, plus or minus 2%.

Gross margin for the first quarter was 60.5%, or 71.3% excluding the H20 charge, and diluted earnings per share were 76 US cents per share, or 96 US cents per share excluding the H20 charge.

Nvidia shares rose more than 2.5% in after-hours trading after the result.

The company announced full-scale production of its Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer and said it will pay a US$0.01 dividend per share on 3 July.

What they said: “Global demand for NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure is incredibly strong,” Huang said in a statement released ahead of an investor briefing.

“AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year, and as AI agents become mainstream, the demand for AI computing will accelerate,” he added.

“Countries around the world are recognizing AI as essential infrastructure — just like electricity and the internet — and NVIDIA stands at the center of this profound transformation.”

“Our breakthrough Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer — a ‘thinking machine’ designed for reasoning— is now in full-scale production across system makers and cloud service providers,”
