“As social engagement increasingly defines both video game interaction and digital marketing innovation, our collection of assets continues to bring increasing focus of that attribute to the fore,” said Tom Rogers, Executive Chairman of Engine Gaming & Media Inc. “Winview, UMG, Eden, Stream Hatchet, and Sideqik all continue to differentiate their offerings relative to social gaming and marketing. With our continued, significant revenue growth, and investment in product enhancements to sustain that growth, in the course of one-year we have begun to show what the Engine assets are capable of representing in terms of substantially enhanced asset value. We believe with our plans for sustainable cash infusion, as the businesses begin to move toward profitability, the market will recognize the substantial opportunity for appreciation as the Engine ‘revs.’”
