Notes:
- These two KPIs represent the number of times the Peeks Social app was accessed by users and the average duration of use, respectively. Data was provided through Google Analytics. For additional information on Google Analytics’ definition of “session” and the methods of calculating “sessions”, please refer to https://support.google.com/analytics.
- This KPI represents the total amount of external deposits into user wallets in the Peeks Social platform. Wallets may contain USD or a digital currency inside the Peeks Social platform referred to as “coins”. Deposits to wallets may be made via credit card or in-app purchase. “Coins” are sold at a premium to their value in order to cover app store transaction fees and as an additional revenue source for the platform. These premiums are not included in this KPI. Deposits denominated in USD are translated to CAD using the monthly average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada. While the “gross deposits” is an important KPI for the Peeks Social platform, it is not a direct indicator of the Company’s financial performance.
