About Second Quarter Financial Results Summary:

The transition phase from low-frequency, high-dollar-value and low-profit-margin raw materials trading transactions to higher-frequency, lower-dollar-value and higher-profit-margin financing transactions, which started in the first quarter of 2017, continued in the second quarter of 2017. As one subsidiary, Asia Synergy Data Solutions ("ASDS"), was preparing for the first financing transactions on the Cubeler platform, another subsidiary, Asia Synergy Technologies ("AST"), was processing the last of the remaining orders on the Gold River platform which did not require financial assistance. The Company's revenues for the quarter were therefore limited to just a couple of Gold River transactions. With those transactions expected to give way to PO financing transactions on Gold River, and the start of transactions on Cubeler, the Company looks forward to ushering in a new era of greater profitability for its group of companies in the coming quarters through both AST and ASDS.

In summary, the Company generated revenues of $144,823 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to no revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. On a cumulative basis, after six months of operations ending June 30, 2017, the Company generated revenues of $7,469,822, compared to no revenues for the same period last year.

Expenses for the second quarter amounted to $1,046,147 compared to $509,028 for the same period of 2016. The variation is mainly due to expenses generated by the Company's Chinese operations, such as the cost of materials, salaries, travel and the amortization of the technology platform. There were no such expenses for the same period last year since there were no Chinese operations. The variation can also be explained by an increase in consulting fees which was partially offset by a decrease in the loss on extinguishment of convertible debentures and in finance costs. On a cumulative basis the expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled $9,056,964 compared to $818,170 for the same period of 2016. The 2017 expenses include a total of $7,469,822 of cost of materials compared to none for the same period last year.

The net loss for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2017 was $984,270 (June 30, 2016: $506,392) and $1,693,421 (June 30, 2016: $815,534) respectively.
