Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2017) - Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (CSE: PKK) ("Peak" or the "Company") today announced its financial results and reviewed highlights for the year ended December 31, 2016. All amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars.

Review of 2016:

2016 was a pivotal year for Peak in which the Company achieved several key milestones, all made possible by the closing of its $3.98M strategic investment partnership with ZHWY Chairman, Mr. Jiang Wang. That transaction ushered in a new era of financial stability for the Company and provided the resources to allow Peak to set the foundations of its operations in China. Always mindful for the need to eventually repatriate profits from its Chinese operations to Canada, the Company adopted a corporate ownership structure according to guidelines prescribed by the Chinese government to allow foreign owned parent companies of operating Chinese subsidiaries to repatriate profits made by their subsidiaries outside of China. The Company therefore created subsidiary holding companies in both Hong Kong and Shanghai prior to establishing its first operating subsidiary, Asia Synergy Technologies ("AST"), in Shanghai to manage its Gold River raw materials product procurement and financial services platform. Once created, AST was able to quickly secure a series of purchase order commitments for transactions to be processed through December 2017 approximately worth a combined $600M. Gold River was officially launched in Q3 2016 and went on to process $26M worth of orders that same quarter, which validated the demand for the services offered by the platform.

Following the launch of Gold River and after carefully studying the commercial lending space in China, the Company saw an opportunity to not only help buyers of raw materials with the financial assistance they needed through the Gold River platform, but to also potentially impact the commercial lending industry as a whole. After discussions with a handful of solution providers with products that could potentially make lending easier in China, the Company settled on a commercial lending solution developed by Canadian fintech company Cubeler Inc. ("Cubeler"). Discussion with Cubeler accelerated quickly, to the point where the Company was confident enough of an eventual agreement with Cubeler to begin formulating a model for commercializing the platform in China. While working the business model for the commercialization of Cubeler, the Company was presented with an opportunity to have its very own financial institution subsidiary, which would be able to assume the primary financial roles on both the Gold River and the Cubeler platforms and add a completely different dimension to the Company's revenue potential. Having an affiliated financial partner as part of Gold River's operations, meant that the Company would have to make a slight adjustment to AST's business model. The adjustment implied that AST would now earn a slightly lower financing referral fee on Gold River and would have to postpone Gold River's financing transactions until those financing opportunities could be referred the affiliated financial institution. This in turn meant that AST's revenues for Q4 2016 would be less than originally projected.

Outlook for 2017:

Ever since the idea of having its own financial institution subsidiary began to circulate in Q4 2016, the Company began the process to find the right financial partners for a potential joint venture that would lead to the creation of that subsidiary, named Asia Synergy Financial Capital ("ASFC"). Considering the impact that ASFC is expected to have on the Company's Chinese operations and its bottom line, a great deal of attention will be allocated by the Company's management in 2017 to sign agreements with one or more financial partners to get ASFC established as quickly as possible. As of the date of this news release the Company was in discussions with a number of potential financial partners who had expressed an interest in making a direct investment in a joint venture transaction with the Company for the creation of ASFC.

Once it's up and running, ASFC will be the only financial institution on Gold River, and as such will earn interest only on the credit it extends on the platform. However, things will be different on Cubeler as the platform is intended to have many other lenders who will be extending loans and credit on the platform along with ASFC. Under the Cubeler business model, Asia Synergy Data Solutions ("ASDS"), Peak's newly created subsidiary and the platform operator, will charge and collect a 2% fee on all credit products offered on the platform. That fee will be shared between ASDS, ASFC and the insurance company providing insurance of the platform's credit products. So in addition to earning interest on its own loans, ASFC will also earn a percentage of the value of every loan and credit product extended on the platform by all platform lenders. The more lenders on the platform, the more credit transactions facilitated by the platform, the more revenues ASFC will earn.

"We couldn't be more excited about the prospect of owning our very own financial institution", commented Johnson Joseph, President and CEO of Peak. "From the discussions that I've had with some investors since the release of our revised executive summary presentation, it would unfortunately appear that many of them are so focussed on our lower revised target revenues for AST that they fail to realize that the financial impact that ASFC is expected to have on the Company will more than offset AST's reduced revenue targets. Hopefully, that will be clear once we publish our revenue targets for ASFC in a few weeks" concluded Mr. Joseph.

Fiscal 2016 financial results summary:

The Company generated $58,091,907 in the sale of raw material products in Fiscal 2016 ($36,400 in consulting revenues in Fiscal 2015). The transactions that contributed to the Company's revenues and gross profit were limited to a specific category of transactions. Some purchase order transactions that would have required financing were postponed until such a time that ASFC would be in a position to provide the financing needed to complete the purchase orders. So the lower than expected gross margins realised by AST on the reported revenues can be attributed to the fact that transactions on which AST was expected to make higher profit margins did not happen in Fiscal 2016. On a cumulative basis, revenues generated were at $58,091,907 with a gross profit of $289,669 of compared to $36,400 for the same period last year.

Expenses (excluding the cost of sales) for fiscal 2016 amounted to $2,938,773, compared to $1,864,494 in 2015. If we exclude the non-recurring items such as impairment of loss of investments of $350,000 compared to $0 in 2015, $0 in impairment in goodwill in 2016 compared to $698,750 in 2015; $0 impairment of technology in 2016 compared to $491,084 in 2015, forgiveness of debt and extinguishment of debt of $196,452 in 2016 compared to ($524,801) in 2015 and gain in 2015 on contingent compensation payable of $230,000, the difference can be explained by an increase in salaries given the start of Chinese operations, consulting fees, public relations, rental expenses and travel. Finance costs went down in 2016 since some debentures were converted reducing de facto the interests costs.

The net loss for the year was $2,649,104 compared to $1,828,399 in 2015.
