Q1 2018 Financial Highlights:
(all figures are rounded to the nearest thousand)

• Revenue of $1,174,000, compared to $17,000 in Q1 2017. The current period includes a royalty fee ($1,000,000) and marketing revenue ($44,000), in addition to application and service fees ($130,000). It should be noted that the fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018 revenues may be higher than can be expected in future near-term quarters due to timing of licensing related revenue;

• Another notable increase was a $1,199,000 increase in sales and marketing expense. A significant part of this was related to the increase in the number of employees in sales and marketing, commencing work in the Blockchain sector and preparing the Company’s rebrand. The Company expects this expense category to reduce in future near term quarters;
• Net loss was $4,869,000 or $(0.04) per share, compared to $964,000 or $(0.02) per share in Q1 2017;
