During the second quarter of 2022, amongst other achievements, the Company announced the execution of a carbon reduction project involving the distribution of 850,000 cookstoves and 364,000 water purifiers in Vietnam. Base Carbon facilitated a contractual project offtake agreement for initial carbon credit production which is anticipated to result in a payback period of 2.75 years on aggregate capital deployed. The distribution of the devices in Vietnam is expected to be completed by mid 2023, ahead of schedule, with approximately 285,000 devices having been distributed to date. The distribution of cookstoves as part of the Company’s initial carbon reduction project in Rwanda is also outperforming initial project timelines with full deployment of cookstoves currently expected by the end of 2022.
Second-Quarter Corporate and Financial Highlights as of June 30, 2022
Base Carbon, through its subsidiary, executed project documentation related to the development of a cookstove and water purifier carbon reduction project in Vietnam with Citigroup Global Markets Limited contracting as carbon credit off-taker to the project.
Distribution of Vietnam household devices is ahead of initial schedule with approximately 285,000 devices distributed to date, with full distribution expected by mid 2023.

$0.2 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, comprising total liabilities.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net comprehensive loss of $2.9 million, of which $1.3 million was attributable to an unrealized foreign exchange loss resulting from the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Canadian Dollar by approximately 3% quarter-over-quarter.
