“During the most recent quarter, we faced significant challenges and are proud of the progress made so far. Real estate market conditions have remained particularly difficult and we also had to manage the loss of clientele in some of our photography agencies due to breach of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements in place by some of our former managers. However, the financial measures taken recently, such as the optimization of our operations in connection with the integration of our recently acquired businesses, including a significant reduction in our workforce, the $750k financing completed last June and the remodeling of our long-term debts should together enable the Company to free up nearly $4.0m in cash over the next 12 months and thus rebalance our working capital and strengthen our financial position while remaining resolutely focused on the growth of our business. At the same time, we continued to develop several growth projects that we expect to launch in the upcoming months”, said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.

The Company has issued 507,115 shares at a price of $0.065 to Management and employees as part of their compensation.
