“Get Connected”

There are statements in this document that are “forward-looking statements”. As these forward-looking statements are predictive in nature,
they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties relating to Wellington, its operations, the markets in which it competes and other

factors (some of which are beyond the control of Wellington). As a result of the foregoing, actual results and conditions may differ materially

from those expressed or implied by such statements. In particular, Wellington’s operations and results are significantly influenced by the

extent to which energy efficient motor technology is promoted in Wellington’s key markets, competitor product development and demand

and pricing, fluctuations in key commodity prices or costs in the countries of Wellington’s suppliers, availability of key components, relative

exchange rates and profitability of customers, all of which can have a substantial impact on Wellington’s results of operations and financial

condition. Other risks include customer concentration risk and misuse of, and challenge to, Wellington’s intellectual property.

All references in this document to $ or “dollars” are references to New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated.

EBITDA (i.e. Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment) is a non-GAAP earnings figure that equity

analysts tend to focus on for comparable company performance analysis. The Company considers that it is a useful financial indicator

because it avoids the distortions caused by the differences in amortisation and impairment policies. EBITDA is calculated as the loss before

interest and taxation, less depreciation, amortisation and impairment.

Before I beginmy presentation, we have a short video to show you.

Our company was recently named as a finalist in the NZ Hi Tech Awards Innovative

Software category. The awards evening was held last week on 25

th

of May and while

we weren’t awarded as the winners of this category we were showcased alongside

other amazing tech companies like Dexibit (who won the software prize), Vensa

Health, Enatel Motive Power, Banquer, IBM and Invenco (who won the Company of

theYear).

Being a finalist and recognized alongside other premier New Zealand tech companies

is a great acknowledgement for our team and the progress we have made, and a

reward for all the hard work put into transforming the business over the last few

years. Of course, only a handful of years ago the words ‘software’ and ‘Wellington

Drive’ would not have been included in the same sentence.

Today, in addition to our motors, Wellington is a hardware-enabled software

company, developing hardware platforms such as SCS Connect and SCS Click,

complemented by software and digital services–tools that help our customers

improve their businesses.

Asa business,Wellingtonischangingrapidly and injust two years we have built

an IoT (Internet of Things) business within the company, which has contributed

over US$10 million of sales in just two years.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page5of26

After we have discussed our 2017 results, we will share our thinking on a

refreshed strategy, aimed at continued growth of the IoT and motor business.

We are helping our customers move towards a digital future so that they can

achieve greater energy efficiency, higher sales growth and their own digital

transformation goals.

Now let’s review how we performed in 2017.

In 2017 our revenue continued to grow at an impressive rate of 23%, which

equates to a 22% average growth rate since 2015. Our EBITDA performance

continued to improve, with a $234,000 increase compared to 2016.

IoT Data revenues increased by $500,000 to $700,000 demonstrating the

building annuity value in data revenues.

We also announced our new partnership with iProximity, which we will discuss

later in the presentation.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page6of26

The company surpassedUS$30 million of revenue for the first time, with this

continued growth driven by new products, namely the ECR2 motor, SCS

controllers & IoT data.

These new products contributedUS$15 milliondollars of revenue, which already

equates to 48% of total revenue. They had their first year in market only two

years ago and we expect the growth trend to continue in 2018.

Breaking that down further. Our SCS™ Connect volume grew 308% and ECR2

motor volume grew by 282%.TotalECmotorvolumesgrewby6%overall off a

much larger base.

Our revenuegrowthwasachieved with new business wins and with existing

bottle cooler customers. Importantly, we are also winning newsupermarketand

foodserviceOEMcustomers.

Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page7of26

Looking at how our business is now split between IoT and Motors, we can see

that the IoT business is rapidly developing into a larger part of our growth

strategy and, as a business, is growing at a significantly faster rate than motors.

This is consistent with external market growth data for the global IoT market.

Indeed 83% of growth came from the IoT segment.

IoT consists of SCS™Connect, SCS Clickand data services and the developing

proximity-based marketing solution sourced from iProximity. IoT contributed

US$7.9m dollars, up from US$2.4m in 2016, which represents 25% of total

revenues.

One of the cashflow benefits of the IoT data model is that we deliver multi-year

data agreements which are paid for upfront, which translated into US$713,000

of revenue during 2017.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page8of26

Moving to Gross Profit performance.

So how does our growth translate to improvement in margin contribution?

Gross Profit dollars have increased threefold since 2014 and surpassedNZ$10m

for the first time. Thisdemonstrates the increasing contribution from our new

products and services.

Gross Margin percentage was flat compared to 2016 at 24%, slightly lower than

expecteddueto some delays in accessing lower SCS hardware manufacturing

cost from our strategic partner East West inVietnam. This will be resolved by the

end of 2018 as we expect to be building close to 100% of SCS in the Vietnam

factory by the end of this year.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page9of26

On the bottom line, we improved EBITDA profit to $538,000-a $234,000

improvement on 2016.

The loss for the year was $1.98 million after charging $537,000 of financing costs

to preference shares settled in May 2017. This was a $498,000 improvement on

the loss recorded in 2016.

Our profit numbers were lower than our initial forecast due to third quarter

customer demand not meeting expected levels, coupled with late in the year

demand deferrals and a lower margin sales mix throughout the year.

The board also felt it was important to continue to invest in supporting the high

sales growth in the IoTbusiness. This was reflected in an increased spend on

headcount, which is important to enhance our talent base and grow capability.

Our strategy is to support higher growth rates, in the 20% to 30% range, by

investing in new skills, new solutions and new markets. We believe this will

enhance shareholder value versus a more defensive approach that focusses on

stabilising revenues and reducing operating costs to deliver profits.

We believe this investment approach will best expand profits over the medium

term and deliver superior positive operating cash flows.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page10of26

While we are investing in growth, we are taking a responsible productivity-based

approach to investing in our talent base. Our revenue growth of 20-30% delivers

a productivity improvement that can be seen in our revenue-per-employee

metric. This translates to revenue per employee doubling since 2014.

This metric includes the addition of 12 new peopleover that period. Our total

company headcount now stands at 67.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page11of26

We are proud of our growth and new business achievements in 2017. Our

journey into new markets and the acquisition of new customers is informing

how we should best adapt our growth plansgoing forward.

Before I hand over to Greg, I will introduce you to some of the work we are doing to

refresh our long-term growth strategy. This will lead us towards finalizing and

communicating what we are calling Vision 2022.

Over the past seven years the company’s strategy has transformed, from an

initial turnaround plan focused on refrigeration motors, to a focus on new

products beyond the motor. Those products allow us to enter new market

segments, such as supermarket display cases and IoT.

Our 2013‘Beyond the Motor’ vision has now been achieved. We are now selling

at scale to large food and beverage brands with both our ECR2 motor platform

and our IoT solutions.

Wellington is no longer just a commercial refrigeration motorcompany focused

only on bottle coolers. We are entering markets that are growing at close to 30%

with our IoT and digital solutions.

Thenextfiveyearswilllook quite different to the last five. We will continue to

invest in new technologies and enter new markets with even stronger growth

projections.

I will now hand over to Greg to talk more about 2017 performance and to give

you further detail and insights on our developing plans.

Thanks Tony and welcome everyone

Before I continue with Tony’s theme of what is new in thebusiness and our

developing new growth vision, I will talk about lessons learned in 2017.

To highlight what we think are two of the most important lessons learned:

Firstly, within our hardware business we saw component lead-times pushing out well

beyond 12 months. In many cases we have had to place orders with suppliers well into

2019. This is a result of strong macro demand in the global electronics industry, which

caused the loss of some revenue in fourth quarter 2017 and into the first half of 2018.

In cooperation with our main electronics supplier East West, we have invested heavily

in additional raw material stocks and are adding supply chain staff in East West and

New Zealand to support increased workload. We have developed new relationships

with alternate component suppliers and are re-designing our hardware to use more

readily available components.

Secondly, in our IoT business, as well as in our sales regions, we are seeing several

compelling growth opportunities that we cannot readily address due to resource and

skill limitations. This will be addressed over time as we add new people to the team,

especially in software development, electronics design and IoT business development.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page13of26

In 2017 we added eight new people to the team, which helped us deliver on ambitious

growth targets. In 2018 we intend to add a further 14 people distributed across all our

required skill areas.

Our Vision 2022 will address these skill and capability gaps head-on, because if there is

a high return opportunity within our target market we never want to turn it away!

So how is our new vision for growth developing?

Our refreshed growth vision is underpinned by the development of abroad

rangeofbranded solutions,designed to servetheretailfoodandbeverage

markets. A broader range of solutions ultimately increases our ‘share of

revenue’ inside the retail point of sale equipment, whether it's a cooler, a food

display shelf or other equipment that sells or distributes product to the

consumer.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page14of26

We have an ‘APPs Centric’ approach. Our APPs provide the platform to deliver a

range of services to customers. We have developed these in house and they

include solutions like SCS™ Field, SCS™ SalesForce and SCS™ Report and the

newly developed SCS™ Retailer APP.

The new Retailer APP enables the store manager or retailer to measure, control

and improve the performance of in-store systems.

Through APPs, when combined with SCS Connect or other IoTconnectivity

solutions, we are gaining more share of value inside retail point of sale

equipment.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page15of26

An example of Wellington’s retail solution portfolio is our cooler fleet

management platform which we have brandedSmarter Coolers.

This platform delivers data and reporting services built around SCS.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page16of26

How does the new iProximity acquisition complement our existing SCS solution?

The iProximity platform, which is part of our Smarter Coolers solution, is built on

the Cloud, providing customers theability to engage directly with theconsumer,

manage large promotional campaigns, and deliver contentatthe‘pointofsale’in

frontofthecoolerorfooddispenser. The integrated solutionprovides a toolset

that helps food and retail brands deliver increased consumer sales.

During2017 our primary focus was marketing and promoting the new iPX™

platform offering.Early pilotsaleswereplannedtocommencein2018. And I can

tell you that we have received our first order in Q2 2018.

We are alreadyproving that this solution-based strategy works with the

previously mentioned strong growth rates in both SCS and EC motor platforms.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page17of26

Our operating model has been developed to improve cash generation. This gives

us significant growth leverage, and onceat scale will allow us to self-fund

organic growth.

The four main aspects of our operating model are:

Number 1-A digital service model for iPX consumer engagement, with software

and service on multi-year contracts paid for in advance.

Number 2–Apositive working capital structure with back-to-back terms and

high targets on inventory velocity.

Number 3-An outsourced supply chain where suppliers purchase and manage

materials.

Number 4-An IoT data reporting service with multi-year service agreements

paid for in advance.

An example of our increasing capital efficiency can be seen during 2017. Our

strong focus oninventorymanagement resulted in 8.5 inventory turns in 2017

compared to 7.8 in 2016.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page18of26

Overall, operating cash flow was a $1.3 millionimprovement on 2016 and we

expect that this model will continue this improvement trend and deliver positive

cash performance.

I will now turn to how we intend to benefit from IoT markets that will support

higher levels of growth over the next five years.

This slide shows our historical revenue growth.

We have been growing steadily with a 22% CAGR over the last three years. As

Tony mentioned, much of this growth was driven by new products and new

markets beyond our original bottle cooler based motorbusiness.

Our model of strategic partnerships supports these growth levels.

In addition to our existing and growing partnerships with East West USA on

sales, iProximity on digital marketing, and our distribution agreement with Axair

in the UK we are busy continuing to expand the sales channels for our solutions.

As an example, we recently opened three new channels in just the first quarter

of 2018:

Firstly, we signed a sales partnership agreement with a New York based

vision system developer calledCoolR Group.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page19of26

Secondly, we signed a sales agreement with a Toronto and India-based

refrigeration and HVAC technology distributor called Amtrac.

And thirdly, we signed a sales agreement with an Argentinian based

reseller of refrigeration motor and controllerproducts.

This slide shows how we are moving from mature low-growth markets to new

higher-growth markets.

Independent research shows us that our EC Motor and Commercial

Refrigeration markets are growing in a CAGR range of between 4% and 12% and

IoTis growing in the 24% to 30% CAGR range.

As you can see, the more attractive IoT markets on the right-hand side are

where our focus lies for new product and market development, so we expect

our revenue growth to remain strong.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page20of26

This slide shows a combination of our achieved three-year revenue growth rate

of 22%, coupled with projected five-year growth rates for our targeted market

segments.

You can see that with our achieved revenue growth of 22% and new markets

that offer 20%+ growth, there is the potential for a company CAGR of around

15% over coming years.

If this rate is achieved it would translate into a doubling of revenues in the next

five years.

There you have a very high-level view of our growth potential. We are all very

excited about the opportunity that these high growth markets present.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page21of26

I have borrowed this graphic from a recent IBM Smart Retail study.

A large part of our growth vision being achieved is our belief in Retail 4.0, the

transformation of retail from previously ‘dumb’ stores to stores that are already

becoming ‘smart’.

We already do many things for our customers to help them on their journey to

enable the connected store.

For example, with our solutions they can:

Measure door openings on coolers with our SCS Connect.

Improve sales data with our SCS IoT Data service.

And finally, using iProximity’s proximity marketing toolset, they can use

Bluetooth tags for shelf displays, read and manage shelf-based QR codes, and

enable digital signage for promotions

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page22of26

Our technology is designed to connect people, places and things.

This technology works with refrigeration and non-refrigerated applications.

We recently demonstrated our consumer engagement solution at a Brazilian

supermarket technology show. Our global branded customer has given us

permission to use this photo for presentation purposes only.

It shows a consumer scanning a QR code on a point of sale shelf, using our

HolaLocal APP and receiving promotional information.

Our growth vision fully embraces the future of connected retail.

This is the new Wellington,this is our new business, and this is where a large

part of our future lies.

® is a registered Trade Mark of Wellington Drive Technologies Ltd in New Zealand
Wellington Drive Technologies LtdWT9049

Page23of26

The next five years will see us deliver further growth with ourSmarter Coolers

platform.

We also intend to explore new adjacent market opportunities for our solutions,

asyou see on the right-hand side of this slide.

We think interesting new markets are presenting themselves for the company,

including refrigerated transport, food service, food quality and loss, and ambient

groceries and snacks

These are just some of the possible adjacent markets we spend a lot of time

I will finish off my review by giving you a quick update on our 2018 priorities and

how we are projecting outcomes for this year and next.

Our priorities this year are built around developing a refresh of our five-year

growth plan,continuing to deliver impressive salesperformance and enhancing

our management operatingsystemstodealwithhighgrowthrates.

We are also commencingthenext stageofWellington’sproductinnovation

program, across IoT, digital solutions and EC motors.

During 2018 and beyond we will continue to focus on the higher market growth

rates available to us in IoT, combined with stablegrowthforECmotors.

First half 2018isexpectedtomodestly improvewithrevenue up around 10% and

EBITDA of around $1 million, similar to 2017.

There is some risk that first half EBITDA will only be in line with last year. This

risk is coming from continued electronics component shortages and potential

demand volatility at the end of the second quarter.

We are mitigating component shortages with additional inventory and product

re-designs to use alternate components.

However, we continue to expect a higher growth rate for 2H18 and the full year.

Last week we exercised ouroption to acquire iProximity. We are funding this

acquisition out of proceeds from cashflow and the MetaCapital loan.

As I mentioned earlier, we have received our first ever order for iProximity

software. This was an important verification that reinforced our decision to

complete the iProximity transaction.

It is possible, depending on how demand eventuates in the third quarter, and

how large these new iProximity opportunities are, that we will have a funding

requirement later in the year. The board islooking at all options available to

fund growth, including a more optimistic outlook on the company’s ability to

obtain bank financing.

Our full year 2018 EBITDA guidance of between $2 million to $4 million remains

unchanged.If achieved, this should generate positive operating cash and a small

net profit.

Finally, as discussed earlier, Wellington is in the process of developing a new

growth vision.Vision 2022 will take EC Motors into markets beyond bottle

coolers, and establish our market leadership for IoT technology within the food

and beverage market.

Before closing I would liketo talkbrieflyaboutgovernance. It is my intention

thatthiswill be my last year as Chairman and as aDirectorafter 8 years of

challenging but fulfillingyears on theBoard.Over the coming months we will be

reviewing our Board structure and capability matrix,with a view to findingthe

best configuration andindividualsto deliver on our Vision 2022.
