Customer and Market Developments

During fiscal 2016, the Company solidified its market and financial position. Early in 2016, the Company signed a 5-year partnership agreement with Centris^®, the organization that operates the centris.ca^® real estate portals and offers technological tools to more than 13,000 real estate agents in Québec. This agreement confirms the interest from leading real estate organizations towards Urbanimmersive's visual content marketplace. The agreement will enable the Company to rapidly deploy its visual content solution throughout Québec's network of real estate agents. Urbanimmersive's visual content marketplace enables real estate agents and home builders to work with trusted content providers and third-party certified technologies. The official launch of the platform with Centris^® is scheduled for early 2017.

During fiscal 2016, the Company established business relationships with relevant industry organizations and agencies, such as TC Media and RESAAS^®, for its content platform. These strategic partnerships are expected to expand its content marketplace platform and accelerate market penetration. The Company also signed reseller agreements with marketing and web development firms such as Voyou Communication and NIVII. The Company hopes to provide further updates on all fronts in the near future.

Financing Developments

During fiscal 2016 the Company improved its balance sheet and is an excellent position to support growth of its content platform in Québec and begin expanding its commercialization outside the Province. In November 2015, the Company completed a private placement in the amount of $364,000 and in July 2016 closed a private placement for $1.4 million. During the fiscal year, the Company issued shares following the exercise of warrants for a total amount of $280,500. Unlike prior years, demand for the private placement equity financing came from across Canada and from a number of participants involved in the real estate sector. The Company has improved its assets by 116%, placing it in an excellent position to support the growth of its place in the business in Québec and the beginning of its marketing outside Québec.

Subsequent to the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016

One of the Company's key strategic objectives for fiscal 2017 is commercializing its platform in the United States. To provide greater visibility and easy access for Urbanimmersive's shares in the large U.S. market, the Company applied for listing on the OTC Pink Markets. In January 2017, the application was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and, as such, the common shares of Urbanimmersive now trade under the new U.S. symbol "UBMRF".
