Management Commentary:

"LOOPShare pursued the public listing domain in order to secure the funding necessary for the execution of our plans," said Anwar Sukkarie, LOOPShare President and CEO. "The year end results demonstrate our ability to accomplish much with limited resources, a testimonial to our team's professionalism and ability to build a technology designed for scalable, sustainable, worldwide growth."

Mr. Sukkarie continued: "Our primary objectives in 2016 were to secure the funding, continue with our technical development, establish a foothold in at least three cities, and lay the foundations for commercial field trials, official launch, and a verification of our business model and approach in 2017. LOOPShare has achieved the difficult task of structuring such foundations with truly limited resources, evident by our presence in several cities, our public listing, our continued technology and business model development, and our Zone Operator Loop SAL. We look forward to a strong 2017 where we expect to launch our solution, and thereof to grow the business and realize our vision."
