The video games & mobile gaming sector continues to be an area of fast growth as games are considered low-cost entertainment which even in recessions people will continue to spend money on this sector.

The complete report may be found at www.otcmarkets.com/stock/TAPM/filings. - "Tapinator continued to show significant business expansion in the third quarter of 2015," stated Tapinator CEO, Ilya Nikolayev. "Our quarterly revenues grew 191% year-over-year and 18% quarter-over-quarter, representing our sixth consecutive quarter of at least double-digit sequential revenue growth. Our revenue expansion can be attributed to both the continued broadening of our rapid-launch games portfolio, as well as our continued investment into a small number of full-featured titles that we believe have significant franchise potential. In addition to our very strong revenue growth, Tapinator is also pleased to announce adjusted EBITDA of $73,914 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 65% year-over-year and our sixth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.
