Q2 2020 highlights include:

• Net operating loss in the quarter was $(458) compared to $(356) in Q2 2019 due to decreased revenue as a result of COVID19.
• On June 12, 2020 Real commenced trading on the TSX-V following a June 5, 2020 completion of a qualifying transaction with ADL Ventures Inc. ("ADL"), a capital pool company.
• With the qualifying transaction, Real raised $1,588 by way of a private placement.
• On June 24, Real welcomed Peter Nobel and Erinn Nobel to the company's leadership team as Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Culture Officer, respectively, with the goal of accelerating long term growth.

CEO Comments

"The past few months have brought uncertainty, anxiety, and grief to people across the world. COVID-19 is facing the global economy with unprecedented challenges. The overall US market for home buying looks favorable with the consensus among economists that interest rates will remain under 4% in 2020 and the National Association of Realtors reports a June 2020 increase of 16.6% in pending home sales. We believe that our technology-driven model is now more relevant and appealing than ever, and we are upbeat by the encouraging signs of resilience of the real estate market in the US," said Tamir Poleg, co-founder and CEO of Real.
