ACHIEVEMENTS

Early in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, Urbanimmersive Technologies Inc., the parent corporation, amalgamated with its subsidiary Urbanimmersive Inc. The name of the entity resulting from the merger is "Urbanimmersive Inc." and its common shares will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "UI" on the TSX Venture Exchange. This merger will allow the Corporation to streamline its operations and reduce costs.

It was also during this quarter that the limited deployment (soft launch) was started of phase 2 of the new content marketing platform. This phase 2 consists of getting contractors and realtors to use this platform by offering them a free news website. The establishment of the free newsrooms as well as the programming interface (API) for web integrators aims to position our monetization platforms.

The monetization platforms are the marketplace of visual content providers, online stores (e-commerce) of exclusive texts about the realtor industry from freelance writers and the platform of discovery and content sharing (Content Discovery).
This limited launch has enabled the Corporation to test the platform of content marketing, to observe the behavior and reactions of users and evolve the platform based on the results. This deployment has also helped generate $32,408 in transactional revenues, representing 17.6% of first-quarter revenues. This increase is significant and demonstrates that this technological solution gradually is taking its place in the market.

In addition, during the first quarter, the Corporation closed a private placement of a total of $364,000. The proceeds of the offering are allowing the Corporation to maintain its marketing and technology development activities of its new platform for content marketing in the real estate market in Quebec. In addition, the internal restructuring carried out in recent months has allowed the Corporation to reduce its operating expenses by 18.3%.

Regarding the international business development, Urbanimmersive began talks with an organization in the real estate market for the deployment of the solution through a very large real estate broker network. There is no guarantee an agreement will be concluded within the next months but talks are progressing and allow the Corporation to be optimistic about a first agreement during fiscal year 2016.
