Growth Activities during the Quarter:

agency Kwan Entertainment Talent Management Agency.
- In August 2017, the Company closed a brokered private placement offering of subscription receipts of the Company (the
"August Financing") led by Cormark Securities Inc. and including Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. The August Financing included the
sale of 16,445,000 subscription receipts at a price of Cdn$1.05 per subscription receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds of

to the exercise of the said subscription receipts for no additional consideration.
- In August 2017, Kuuhubb, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kuuhubb Oy, completed the acquisition (the "Sumoing
Acquisition") of all of the outstanding shares of Sumoing Oy ("Sumoing"), a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of
Finland and creator of the world's leading digital coloring book application called Recolor (the "Recolor App"). The Recolor
App is a high-quality digital coloring book on mobile, including 1,500+ beautiful art illustrations and unique 3D content.
Sumoing is a Helsinki-based game development studio that specializes in lifestyle genre apps targeted to the female audience.

price.
Subsequent Events:
- On October 25, 2017, Sumoing Oy changed its name to Recolor Oy.
- Following the acquisition of Sumoing Oy, Kuuhubb's management team engaged in a focused 90-day integration plan, designed
to capitalize on synergies, evaluate costs, identify growth opportunities, re-deploy resources and human capital to capture
value, and mitigate financial and operational risks. Kuuhubb management reported that all significant integration efforts had
been successfully achieved.
- On November 20, 2017, the Company announced that it had signed a term sheet to acquire Neybers, an interior design game
where users can play with photo quality items from real brands. Neybers fits well with Kuuhubb's strategy of building a
portfolio of female oriented niche lifestyle community and design applications. Neybers has a strong focus on esthetics and
female user base with a 22 minute play session average - attributes that dovetail well with Kuuhubb's flagship app
Recolor.
