REC*IT App Users & Engagement Update
Sydney, March 09 2016 – MOKO Social Media (NASDAQ: MOKO and ASX: MKB) (the “Company”) today announces a substantial increase in users acquired during the 2015-16 Academic Year and the achievement of significant milestones in the spring 2016 semester. Currently over 607,000 unique users have launched REC*IT and the app had more unique visitors in the first three weeks of the Spring 2016 semester than the entire Spring 2015 semester combined. In-app engagement has also improved as users are averaging 3 more page views per visit (12) than fall semester and 5 more than spring semester 2015.
These improvements in acquisition and engagement can be attributed to MOKO’s focus on improving the app experience for both students and recreation center administrators. MOKO launched a completely redesigned app last August, which allows students to create and join intramural teams directly through the app. REC*IT also has improved features for intramural administrators, now giving them the ability to check players into games and update scores from the app.
The combination of an improved design and added features have contributed to the increase in the number of REC*IT administrator and student users during the 2015-16 academic year, and are primary reason for REC*IT’s designation as a Gold Winner in the Best Sports App category of the 2015 USA App Design Awards.

SYDNEY, December 17 2015
REC*IT PASSES HALF A MILLION (500,000) MILESTONE
ALMOST 400% INCREASE IN ORGANIC GROWTH ACROSS U.S. COLLEGES
SINCE 2014 SOFT LAUNCH
MOKO Social Media Limited (NASDAQ: MOKO - ASX: MKB) is pleased to
announce that it has reached a significant milestone, with more than half a million
(500,000) students downloading and installing the REC*IT App.
Reaching this important growth point is made even more remarkable with the
fact that every user is acquired via the relationships with the colleges and their
REC teams. This has been achieved through marketing and information collateral
made available to the REC departments and their teams so that the colleges
themselves and our partners at IMLeagues (IML) can make students aware of
REC*IT. Whilst this organic strategy means that our growth may be slower than
other viral Apps, it is real and authentic.
REC*IT is deeply embedded in each member college’s existing ecosystem and
university staff around the country now count on our leading mobile
management software, available through our exclusive partnership with IML, to
effectively administer their intramural and recreational sports programming.
MOKO’s unprecedented access to more than 1,100 colleges and growing, and
protected by exclusive rights, in perpetuity, to the IML management software
(SaaS) and its corresponding data stream, means that REC*IT is the only mobile
product that has such a significant footprint across the U.S. collegiate market
place, creating a huge barrier to entry.
Paired with our ongoing commitment to relationship support across the
previously underserved campus rec community, we expect to continue our
growth and enhance our dominant position going forward.
Our aim is to make REC*IT so invaluable and indispensable that it ultimately
becomes the only tool through which schools can administer and students will
access recreational and intramural sports.

MOKO Launches Its Exclusive High School App “Bigteams Powered by REC*IT” To Over 4,000 U.S. High Schools - Allows MOKO to Capture The Highly Valuable Youth Demographic Cultivating A Student Audience From The Moment They Enter High School Until They Graduate College
Highlights
• Exclusive agreement with BigTeams grants MOKO access to provide its app, BigTeams powered by REC*IT, to over 4,000 U.S. high schools, targeting the highly valuable ‘youth’ demographic
• Extending audience reach from colleges into high schools, MOKO will engage and capture teen students, a highly desired demographic to brands and advertisers as they create more “word-of-mouth” content than any other age group
• MOKO will be able to capture and engage with a student user over an extended period of time, through transitioning a high school user to a REC*IT college user
MOKO Social Media (NASDAQ: MOKO and ASX: MKB) today announces the release its new app, BigTeams powered by REC*IT, made available to students at over 4,000 U.S. high schools, under an exclusive agreement with BigTeams, the largest high school sports software platform in the U.S.
MOKO’s app, BigTeams powered by REC*IT, uses BigTeams data to provide scheduling information, team rosters, player stats, up-to-date sports announcements and social media integration in an easy to use mobile app for both students and parents at high schools across the U.S.
The new app provides MOKO with a huge opportunity, extending its audience reach from an already valuable college market, into the highly sought after high school market. According to the U.S. Department of Education, there are approximately 15 million students enrolled in U.S. high schools this fall and BigTeams is the high school sports market leader with approximately 15% market share. This provides MOKO with a market opportunity of over 2 million high school students, and their parents. High school students are one of the most desired demographics by brands and advertisers, as teens aged 13 - 17 create more “word-of-mouth” content than any other age group. With 68.4% of students attending college after high school graduation, as reported by the Bureau of Labor, MOKO will also be able to transition users from BigTeams powered by REC*IT to its flagship college app, REC*IT, allowing MOKO to capture and engage with student users over multiple years, making those users even more valuable to advertisers.
MOKO’s suite of bespoke college apps include:
• REC*IT - the leading mobile app for college intramural and sport activities, made available exclusively to around 1,100 U.S. colleges;
• REC*IT FITNESS - MOKO’s recently launched app for college fitness activities; and,
• Speakiesy - a closed-campus social network that can only be accessed with a “.edu” email from a specific college.
The BigTeams powered by REC*IT app will roll-out with the assistance of BigTeams, who will market and promote the app to schools, faculty members and coaches through their pre-existing network and relationships. BigTeams and MOKO also plan to feature the new BigTeams powered by REC*IT app at the 2015 National Athletic Directors Conference and the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Annual Meeting in December, hosted in Orlando. This is one of the largest industry conferences for high school athletic directors, allowing MOKO to engage and inform thousands of high school administrators across the country about the benefits of the new BigTeams powered by REC*IT app.

SYDNEY, November 23 2015
MOKO Launches its New "REC*IT FITNESS" App - One of the Best Ways to Capture the Active Female College Student Demographic
• Launched in response to the immense growth and popularity of high-quality
fitness programming at top tier U.S. partner colleges
• Leveraging the success of REC*IT while specifically targeting active users of
campus recreation centers for group fitness activities
• Enables MOKO to capture the female demographic and diversify the gender
base of its college student user base
MOKO Social Media (NASDAQ: MOKO and ASX: MKB) today announces the release its new app, REC*IT FITNESS, in a soft launch to 25 U.S. colleges, with a wider rollout planned for the spring semester in January 2016. REC*IT FITNESS extends the utility and features of MOKO’s flagship app, REC*IT, from intramural and sport activities to non-sport and group fitness activities such as Yoga, Spin-Cycle, Pilates, etc. providing a tool for U.S. college students to discover, sign up for, and stay on top of the latest fitness programming available only on their campus through the mobile app.
REC*IT FITNESS is expected to skew towards female users as many on-campus fitness activities are female targeted. For example, the 2014 U.S. Yoga Journal Conference reported that approximately 82% of Yoga participants are female. These types of activities will allow REC*IT FITNESS to capture female students alongside MOKO’s flagship REC*IT app, which is skewed towards male users, and ultimately enable MOKO to diversify its existing student user gender base. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are expected to be 20.2 million students attending U.S. colleges and universities in fall 2015, of which 56.9% are expected to be female. Adding the REC*IT FITNESS app gives MOKO an on-campus app that skews towards the female demographic. This coupled with MOKO’s core REC*IT app, which captures the intramural participants which skew 74% male,1 provides MOKO with apps that cover virtually 100% of the potential student population. The college fitness market also presents MOKO with a huge opportunity, with 75% of students regularly using campus recreation centers, and 42.1% of those students participating in instructor-led group fitness classes, according to a NIRSA report. This represents an addressable market of approximately 6.4 million U.S. college students.2

REC*IT FITNESS has been launched in response to the immense growth and popularity of high-quality fitness programming at partner colleges, and there are no major competitors with a similar mobile app designed specifically for managing and scheduling group fitness activities on college campuses.
MOKO’s flagship app, REC*IT, that is now available to more than 1,100 U.S. colleges through an exclusive agreement with IMLeagues, has allowed MOKO to develop relationships with on-campus rec directors and rec departments at colleges across the U.S. Utilizing these relationships, REC*IT FITNESS will adopt a similar marketing strategy to that of REC*IT, leveraging on-campus Rec Director relationships to promote brand and product awareness. MOKO aims to garner insight from key strategic fitness administrators during the soft launch of REC*IT FITNESS and aims to apply the insights and lessons learned, prior to the full official launch in early 2016.
The release of REC*IT FITNESS has significantly extended MOKO’s college student reach into the wider college activity scene, to now encompass intramural sports, recreation and general fitness and social activities.

Sale Of Blue Nation Review Gives Hillary Clinton Camp Its Very Own Media Outlet
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Ryan Grim
Washington Bureau Chief, The Huffington Post
Posted: 11/20/2015 08:23 AM EST | Edited: 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton ally David Brock is acquiring a media outlet, sources involved in the negotiation and sale of the site tell The Huffington Post.
True Blue Media, a newly formed company incorporated by Brock, has acquired progressive news website Blue Nation Review. BNR's previous owner, MOKO Social Media Limited, will retain a 20 percent stake in the new entity while Brock will hold the remaining 80 percent equity balance.
Peter Daou, digital media strategist for Clinton's 2008 campaign, will serve as the new CEO of True Blue Media.
BNR is best known for exposing the lavish spending habits of former Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.), ultimately leading to his resignation. The outlet is run by Jimmy Williams, a longtime regular on MSNBC and a veteran political operative, who will remain at BNR.
“The need for alternative sources of information and independent reporting has never been greater,” Brock said in a statement provided to HuffPost. “With the 2016 campaign now fully underway, the time is right for the rise of a new liberal standard-bearer and Blue Nation Review is poised to assume that role.”
Brock said the publication would be “a focal point in liberal journalism,” producing daily content, investigative journalism and video.
Brock runs Media Matters for America, a nonprofit that has targeted conservative media outlets, particularly Fox News. He also runs the pro-Clinton Super PAC Correct The Record, which claims the legal right to coordinate with the Clinton campaign.
Under Brock, the Democratic-leaning outlet will likely be a reliable defender of and advocate for Clinton. Williams himself has long advocated on Clinton's behalf, though he has also gone after Democrats.
Fans of writer Goldie Taylor regularly visited BNR, but Taylor has since departed and filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against MOKO Social Media. Insiders say that much of BNR's readership was purchased through Facebook at the cost of many millions of dollars -- a sugar high that has since faded, though the site does have a reader base.
Sources said that Brock's organization will actually be paid to take over BNR, rather than the other way around, given the site's operating losses.
“We are very happy with this deal as the new company will be better able to grow BNR’s influence and our retained equity holding will provide MOKO with a valuable upside opportunity,” Ian Rowell, MOKO Social Media founder and CEO, said in a statement.

REC*IT Changing Sports one Schedule at a Time Noah Thomas | Assistant Sports Editor theseahawk.org | 0 comments
College life is full of distractions. Balancing schoolwork, a social life, and even having a job can take up a majority of a student’s free time. However, free time does have its way of sometimes becoming more abundant than usual.
Some students choose to take up intramural or club sports to help themselves become more involved in on-campus life, while others enjoying playing a sport without the strict time commitment.
But with all distractions, time management becomes a challenge. That is where REC*IT comes in.
REC*IT, a new app developed by MOKO Social Media, compiles all the logistics of playing intramural sports and streamlines them into a simple, efficient way of keeping track of schedules, dates, and times. These are all important factors that are imperative to being an active member of a competitive sports team.
“With the exception of hangovers, miscommunication is the number one cause of absence when it comes to intramural sports,” said Cameron Brody, a representative for REC*IT in an email interview. “With the shifting schedules and general forgetfulness of an entire league’s worth of people, keeping everyone up to date on practices and games can be a nightmare.”
At the helm of REC*IT’s development and marketing is Dereck Faulkner. Faulkner is the University Relations Director of REC*IT and acts as the overseer of development, marketing, and customer service as well as other areas. As a former wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, he knows a thing or two about teamwork.
“I’m in charge of a team of almost 20 people,” said Faulkner in a phone interview. “It’s a bit different from catching footballs from [Donovan] McNabb. It’s all about setting certain goals, just like you would in the professionals.”
Development of the app began around two years ago when an Australian-based media company merged with MOKO Social Media. The basic idea of REC*IT was tested with a small number of schools to test effectiveness.
“We were able to see where we could find our traction and build relationships with schools and see if this mobile tool could be viable for recreation professionals and students,” said Faulkner.
Now, REC*IT’s practical use has made it essential for recreation departments across the country. Its widespread popularity has boomed since its official launch in June of 2014.
“Schools are being added literally once a week,” Faulkner said. “Over 1,100 schools [currently use the app], now we’re almost at 1,200. It shows a huge growth for us. We were at 750-800 campuses when we launched.”
Indeed, students at the University of North Carolina Wilmington have benefited from the app’s use. Jordan Short, a member of UNCW’s club baseball team, uses the app regularly to manage his time with the team.
“It's helpful because it organizes our schedule and stats into one place that's user friendly and easily accessible,” said Short.
Faulkner drew from personal experience when discussing just how helpful the app can be for college students. He played college football for Hampton University from 2003-2007.
“In college, you have a strict, rigid schedule that goes throughout the day [and] college students are so busy,” said Faulkner. “Most are maximizing their time in school, involved in two or three different organizations, but need something to help them organize their lifestyle activities.”
Faulkner also explains the great benefits the app provides.
“I think this is what this app helps just because it gives students an opportunity to check their schedules and gives them accountability to their team,” said Faulkner. “So now you’re not the guy who ruins it for someone else. It gives the team the best chance to play effectively and manage their rosters and their schedules

Dear Shareholders,
As announced in the Chairman’s Annual Review on September 30th 2015, we have made a strategic decision to focus our resources on our core student division assets and reduce cash burn from other business categories. This decision was made following feedback from U.S. investors and advisors and the positive and promising early results from REC*IT 2.0 and SPEAKIESY. The rationale for the strategic focus on students is that historically, the U.S. college student user base has been one of the most difficult demographics to access in any significant numbers due to its fragmented nature, and our exclusive agreements with IMLeagues and BigTeams grant us unprecedented and unparalleled access to students at over 1,000 U.S. colleges and 4,000 high schools. We believe that our student products, being REC*IT 2.0, SPEAKIESY, REC*IT FITNESS and BigTeams powered by REC*IT, have the potential to deeply penetrate the student market and result in MOKO being highly attractive to advertisers and future potential strategic partners. By concentrating our resources on the student market, we believe we will better optimize our already dominant market share.
The September quarter has seen users to our flagship app, REC*IT 2.0, rapidly accelerate and I am delighted to report that at time of writing this review, REC*IT has exceeded over 410,000 total app installs. We anticipate that with this continued trajectory, we will attain our 500,000 target by calendar year end in December 2015, laying the foundations for strong growth in the 2016 calendar year.
SPEAKIESY’s initial launch has been well received and student feedback has been exceptional. We have now adopted a more focused launch approach, where we are actively engaging and activating campuses one at a time with our on-campus Brand Ambassadors, to build brand and equity value at targeted colleges prior to a wider activation program. BigTeams powered by REC*IT and REC*IT FITNESS app developments are near completion, with launch expected in late November 2015.

Speakiesy: A Yik Yak alternative that trades gossip for news
By Jee Young Lee
7:05 p.m. Nov. 2 2015
After Yik Yak swept Northwestern last year, Speakiesy, a social media app with functions similar to Yik Yak save for the anonymity, has set foot on campus. The app is strictly limited to NU students, allowing them to share text, photos and videos with their peers without worrying about the eyes of family members or future employers.
Speakiesy was launched by MOKO Social Media in September 2014, offering services to more than 100 universities since then. The app's title promotes the message that students should be able to speak freely. It also alludes to the speakeasies that existed during prohibition in the 1920s, said Anthony Casazza, a marketing operations coordinator of Speakiesy.

“You should be able to speak freely and not have to worry about what people are saying,” Casazza said. “At the end of the day, we want to provide a safe environment for students to enjoy themselves with it.”
“Unlock your campus,” Speakiesy’s tag line, highlights its main purpose of publicizing news, events and everyday stories on campus. After users activate their accounts through their NU emails, they can see and put out whatever they wish. They can delete their own posts, but the app also deletes them voluntarily 90 days after they’re posted.
Unlike Facebook, where users can view content from a broad spectrum of acquaintances, friends and families, and Instagram, on which it is challenging to find campus-specific content, Speakiesy helps narrow in on the kinds of people and content that users want to see on their social media platforms, Casazza said.
Having garnered an increasing number of users on campus since its launch on Sept. 26, Speakiesy aims to partner with Greek organizations and help them raise money. Recently, it sponsored Delta Gamma sorority’s anchor bowl, with MOKO Social Media. The company donated money to Delta Gamma’s philanthropy, Service for Sight, for every user posting on Speakiesy.
“The majority of the work now is to spread the word through different organizations,” said Olivia Rangaswami, a Weinberg sophomore and one of the campus founders.

Although Speakiesy stands to compete with Yik Yak, it will have its own place as more of a news source for official announcements of campus events, Rangaswami said.
“I think they’ll leave Yik Yak for gossipy, rumor-y kinds of things,” she said.
Some potential uses of the app on campus include advertising events, voting for homecoming king and queen, and spreading the news that there is a celebrity on campus, Rangaswami said (#tbt Ariana Grande).
Rangaswami says the biggest challenge Speakiesy currently faces is spreading the word and increasing the number of users, so that when new users download the app, there are posts they can view. Absence of anonymity, which can be a distinguishing feature that might win users over Yik Yak, also raises concerns for those who are not comfortable with having their names out in the public, she said.
She also said the process of uploading videos can be improved. Right now, users can’t upload videos directly from their phones, but rather have to record the videos through the Speakiesy app.
The Speakiesy team at MOKO Social Media is working to improve the app with updates, Casazza said, including a recent animation feature that adds a smooth touch while users refresh their newsfeed.
“We want Speakiesy to be the app that, when you wake up in the morning, rather than reading Yik Yak and checking Snapchat, we want Speakiesy to be that app you go to,” Casazza said. “That’s our goal.”

New app connects campus
Posted: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 11:52 pm
By Elena Castello, Avenue Writer | 0 comments
A new app has hit the market. It’s a traditional social media network app with a hint of exclusivity. Why should you download it? David Jumper, the head of the Speakiesy app, said it’s your connection to campus.
Ariel Halle, a UF industrial and systems engineering senior, has been involved in the movement of Speakiesy. The 22-year-old said the app is a personal UF network that connects people to campus.
"I’ve seen people use it to post pictures from game day to advertisements for their clubs," he said. "We had this one kid who was making beef jerky and he was trying to sell it on campus. So different things like that."
According to Jumper, 29, all posts disappear after 90 days, which means parents and potential employers won’t get a chance to see the activity after three months. The new app officially launched on Sept. 5.
When creating an account, a full name, username and ".edu" email address are needed. This ensures that each user is a student and there are no "fake" profiles or outside users. From there, text, pictures and videos can be posted. Users can also bookmark their own hashtags to save and follow. Speakiesy is exclusive to the "@ufl.edu" email.
"It’s relatable," Jumper said. "No matter if you’re the frattiest of bros or you’re an international student and you’ve come to find your way. You can relate as a Gator to what is on Speakiesy."
He respectfully declined to answer the number of users currently on Speakiesy.
One of the issues he said he wanted to avoid was the clutter found on Yik Yak and the negativity that can come with anonymity. When people are just cruel, he said, they aren’t held accountable. Speakiesy fixes that and gives the campus an exclusive network.
Speakiesy has reached more than 100 total campuses.
Sameer Saboungi, a UF international studies and political science senior, thinks there are already way too many apps.
"There’s Facebook, Yik Yak, Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit, everything," he said.
Saboungi uses what he considers the three main apps: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — in that order. When companies bring out a new app, he said, it’s difficult for people to make the transition to the new app.
For Saboungi, there’s already a set status quo in social media. He believes people wouldn’t be motivated to switch unless the appeal to switch was strong.
The layout of the app is similar to other social media networks, but Jumper knows that.
"We’re not saying ‘stop using Instagram, use Speakiesy,’" he said. "We’re saying ‘use Speakiesy because it is your outlet to campus.’"
Hmmm...the rubbish posters are very busy now, I guess the $hare Price $P) will start going up again..............The Marketing Kit pdf (Below) is very professional and with over 1000 colleges on the train already, REC*IT will take off like a rocket. If you build a successful app, the money will follow for sure. REC*IT is the 300 lb. gorilla in the school sports arena with its captive audience business plan. For those of you on the sidelines, keep this stock in your WATCH LIST. This is just the start of a wonderful ride..................

Greetings Rec Professional! I hope you are as excited for the upcoming school and intramural season as we are at REC*IT.
We’ve worked hard this summer to turn your REC*IT feedback into a better-designed and functioning product. We’re excited to announce that by September 1, REC*IT version 2.0 will be available for download on iOS and Android.
REC*IT 2.0 comes with some really great improvements. We’ve re-designed the app from the ground up making it simpler and easier to use. Additionally, we’ve added some of the most used and important IMLeagues features directly into the app. Now students can create an IMLeagues account, create and join teams, and invite players in the app. Now with the new added functions in REC*IT 2.0. REC*IT is truly “intramurals goes mobile.”
We hope you’ll take advantage of the materials included in this document, and please let me know if you have any suggestions for additional materials that are not featured. We truly believe that as more students in your program adopt REC*IT, your job will get a little easier, and hopefully more students will engage in your rec activities. If there is anything additional we can do to fulfill on this promise, please do not hesitate to contact a University Relations teammate or me directly.
All the best,

ASX/NASDAQ Release
SYDNEY, October 7 2015
MARKET UPDATE – REC*IT 2.0 AND SPEAKIESY EARLY RESULTS
Highlights
• Total REC*IT app installs now over 340,000
• Industry leading user metrics on REC*IT engagement
• Students using REC*IT with an average daily usage of 2.65 times
• Over 12,000 SPEAKIESY users - official SPEAKIESY launch mid-October
• Highly engaged SPEAKIESY audience with an average session duration of
+4 minutes
MOKO Social Media Limited (NASDAQ: MOKO and ASX: MKB) is pleased to report that REC*IT 2.0 continues to roll-out with very promising early results. REC*IT 2.0 is the mobile app that enables students to participate in, and manage, college intramural sports and recreational activities on their campus, with new features that allow students to register in-app, create teams, and send player and team invitations.
REC*IT has now exceeded 340,000 total app installs,:mad::mad::mad: with user engagement metrics that are significantly greater than REC*IT 1.0’s initial launch in September last year. REC*IT users are spending an average time of 5.38 minutes on the app and the average daily usage is now 2.65 times per user, indicating that students are using the app multiple times per day. These metrics are substantially above industry averages. Engagement with existing features that have been enhanced in REC*IT 2.0, such as in-app team chat, have also increased significantly, with September 2015 chat room notifications up 1,805%:p:p:p over September 2014. Importantly, the recent app installs have occurred organically and MOKO will be commencing on-campus marketing campaigns this week to promote brand and product awareness. This will include (but will not be limited to) sweepstake competitions, sponsoring on-campus Rec centers and campus activities including student registration and orientation events.
Over the past three weeks during the early (pre-launch) release of SPEAKIESY, the app has attracted more than 12,000 users. SPEAKIESY is the mobile social network that connects U.S. college students by allowing them to communicate and share information via a closed social network that can only be accessed with a university specific “.edu” email address. These users are highly engaged, spending an average time of more than 4 minutes on the app per session. In addition, over the pre-launch period SPEAKIESY has generated 19,355 follows, 17,842 ‘likes’, 29,265 profile views, 4,642 hashtags clicked, and 4,637 searches.
These metrics indicate that even during the pre-launch period, students are using the app, seeding content and building utility value through topical hashtags. Below are some actual screenshots from SPEAKIESY that illustrate some of the recent activity, including social, charitable and on-campus event promotion feeds. The official launch of SPEAKIESY will be this month where on-campus marketing campaigns will begin to be executed.
“The early results that we are seeing are tremendous and validate that our apps truly are utilities” said MOKO Social Media Founder and CEO, Ian Rodwell. “These students aren’t just using REC*IT once a week to check forward activities, but they’re using it multiple times per day – and this is even before we have started on-campus marketing. Likewise, SPEAKIESY is already building a user base even though it hasn’t officially launched via the commencement of marketing and campus activations yet.”

“Speakiesy is the void that every student has been looking for,” Stewart said. “We’ve all been looking for an answer on how to bring up the attendance to our sporting events, student organization interest meetings, and events on campus. Being able to connect everyone in one simple place has never been easier. Student events, campus life, and student-to-student communication is now in a simple-to-use, mobile-based app.”
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW
HIGHLIGHTS:
• REC*IT’s exclusive reach now over 1,000 U.S. colleges
• More than 100,000 new REC*IT 2.0 downloads since its release for the new college
semester, bringing the total app installs to approx. 325,000 to date with user engagement
up over 160%
• SPEAKIESY to be officially launched October 3rd to an initial 80 U.S. colleges
• Exclusive agreement with BigTeams to develop and provide a new app -- “BigTeams
powered by REC*IT” -- to be made available to more than 4,400 high schools
• 10% equity stake in BigTeams with an option to increase to 23%
• REC*IT FITNESS currently under development and scheduled for launch late October 2015
Good reading but you need to read all of the report. And this also................
Other Platforms
MOKO‘s business includes three other platforms: Blue Nation Review, RunHaven and Tagroom. While these
platforms show great promise, the ability to pursue these requires significant funding by way of new capital. The state
of the securities markets has posed some challenges to this capital raising process, as the market has experienced
extreme volatility and MOKO’s U.S. share price and liquidity have suffered. The consequence of this is that MOKO is
seeking to raise capital at a difficult time. Following feedback from U.S. investors and advisors, and with the positive
and promising early results from REC*IT 2.0 and SPEAKIESY, the company has made a strategic decision to focus
its resources on its student products and reduce its cash burn from those other platforms.
The rationale for this decision is as follows: historically, the U.S. college student user base has been one of the most
difficult demographics to access in any significant numbers due to its fragmented nature. We believe that REC*IT 2.0,
SPEAKIESY and REC*IT FITNESS have the potential to solve this problem and that the deeper we can penetrate the
student market, the more attractive MOKO will be to advertisers.
MOKO SOCIAL MEDIA LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 7
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Outlook for 2016
During the past 12 months MOKO has expanded its student audience reach by securing exclusive access to students
at over 1,000 U.S. colleges and 4,400 high schools and through the development of new mobile platforms for their
students. In this market we hold the best competitive position as a result of the exclusive agreements with IML and
BigTeams. As a result, we believe it feasible to target in 2016 a student user base of around 1 million from
approximately 325,000 currently. MOKO’s decision to focus on student products has been made on the basis that the
U.S. student audience is among the most valuable to brands and advertisers and provides huge potential for future
monetization.
Shorts starting to get squeezed? Short numbers dropped from over 33,000 to 10,000. Who knows...............

REC*IT creates a one-stop shop for college intramural sports leagues to engage with others who share the same passion. With its intuitive interface and built-in social network, users can keep track of game schedules, view stats, and communicate with team members to coordinate practices with ease.
REC*IT helps its users get the most out of staying active in college! Organisation MOKO Social Media Team MOKO Social Media is at the forefront of the next generation in social media and publishing, providing innovative products and content to enable communities to engage and interact. MOKO is a platform publishing company that provides tailored content for high value, niche user groups. Mobile devices, including cell phones and tablets, account for 90 percent of user engagement. Project Brief For many students, college is a hectic time. Between part-time jobs, classwork, and extracurricular activities, students’ schedules are packed to the brim. Despite this, many go the extra mile for the sports they are passionate about and join an intramural league. While this might seem easy enough on the surface, it can be difficult to figure out the logistics behind simply getting to the right field at the right time. Then there’s the social aspect to navigate. Many students join a team to meet other people, but it can be intimidating to introduce yourself post-game. Enter REC*IT, an app that aims to simplify the process of scheduling, coordination, and communication so athletes can focus on what’s important to them: the games. The app lets students easily manage games among multiple leagues, as well as chat with team members without having to balance multiple group chats and email chains.
REC*IT also connects students to the university at large, offering a first look at news from campus sources, as well as the college recreation center. REC*IT allows students to stay on top of what’s going on, so nothing can get in the way of the big game. With millennials constantly relying on their smartphones to stay connected, REC*IT saw the perfect opportunity to help them fuel their existing passion for intermural sports on a platform they were comfortable with. Project Need What separates REC*IT from the rest of the pack is its ability to connect users of a niche community in one convenient mobile location. No other app brings together users with the same interests, with the same level of technical coordination, and an intuitive social component like REC*IT.
REC*IT is also in the unique position to provide valuable data (albeit not personal data) to advertisers who wish to market their products to a highly-engaged niche group. For example, sports brands get much more value out of advertising on REC*IT than they would elsewhere, because the users of REC*IT are likely already making purchases of sports gear and athletic wear. User Experience Once the app is downloaded, users can search for their universities and instantly become connected to all sports happening on campus.
REC*IT is the official app of IMLeagues - a web-based tool students use to manage their intramural and rec sports lives - so all the great functions and features they're accustomed to using are available and easy to find and use within REC*IT. Project Marketing REC*IT targets the directors of rec facilities and programming on college campuses. These influencers act as gatekeepers to their student participants and are extremely receptive to a tool that makes their jobs easier and more productive. One of the biggest pain points for rec directors is ensuring that the amount of play validates the money spent on equipment, fields, etc. – so they are always looking for ways to increase intramural play and decrease the amount of costly forfeits. This is exactly the benefit that REC*IT provides.
REC*IT has expanded to more than 950 U.S. campuses and 230,000 active users in less than a year without significant marketing investment – meaning that rec directors and students that use it spread the word on campus. In fact, REC*IT understands this and invests in building mutually-beneficial relationships with rec directors and key influencers by explaining the value of having their audience on the app and providing app training and ongoing customer service.
Project Privacy
REC*IT pulls data from its official partner, IMLeagues, which is a web-based tool students use to manage their intramural and rec sports lives. Students need only to log into the app with their existing IMLeagues account to access their rec and intramural schedules.
REC*IT never stores any customer data on our servers or within the app. We take privacy very seriously and require minimum information from the user. - See more at:

REC*IT is the business plan of MOKO/MKB. All the rest will only add on to the whole picture and enhance revenue streams when they start.
Ok, thanks. I don't see a business plan. I see confusion on their site. Politics? running for women? Cupcakes and recipes on another site...no relevancy to the REC*IT app which seems a great opportunity. To me I don't see focus rather spread thin. Then, to love 20M AUD in 12 months and even forgetting revenue, where the hell did the money go? Jeez...seems like its all been to acquire users but they can't monetize them. Seems like a broken model.
It's Not Hard, It's Speakiesy
The newest and coolest social media app to hit your campus.
Sydney Sek in Scene on Sep 14, 2015
I don’t know about you, but social media is my biggest guilty pleasure. I don’t even want to know the amount of time I spend scrolling through content every day. Have you ever fantasized about an app that combined all of your favorite social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Yik Yak all in one? Now there is one. It’s called Speakiesy and it is exclusive to your specific campus.
This new social media app from Moko Social Media is about to be the coolest thing since sliced bread, because now you can always be in the loop with everything happening on your campus. With Speakiesy, you’ll never miss a moment at your college. It is a place for you to share your college experience by following your favorite topics on campus. Whether that be a philanthropy event or a concert on campus, you’ll be in the loop.
David Jumper, Director of Consumer Acquisition for Speakiesy says that there is a desire to be connected on your campus. "In a place where you are for four years, your campus consumes you. Speakiesy aims to create that hyper focus and connectivity on your campus that has not existed before this."
The way it works is you register using your .edu email address so that only students at your university can see their respective news feed. This part is great because it keeps those that are not attending your university off the content feed. That means no parents and no weird, creepy people who you’re friends with on Facebook—the ones you don’t even know how you ended up being friends with. Everything on the feed will relate to your campus, and you won’t have to worry about outside information that is irrelevant to you.
Have you been haunted by your Facebook past from your friends who have liked that old picture of you with side bangs and a duck face, bringing your past back up on your current news feed? I know I have. With Speakiesy, posts delete after 90 days, so your sneaky friends can’t blackmail you anymore!
Speakiesy is different from other social media apps because it is moderated on all levels. Their in-house moderation team keeps an eye on all anonymous posts prior to them reaching the news feed, and all non-anonymous posts within 30 minutes of them being posted. No more offensive posts!
In an era when cyber-bullying has become an issue, Speakiesy creates a safe environment and a positive community atmosphere. They want you to feel safe posting content, which is why they have created a network for students.
If you want to know about sporting events, nightlife, concerts, Greek life, house parties, or outdoor activities, then you should download Speakiesy to stay in the loop! You won’t want to miss out.
"It is exclusive only to your specific campus and you don't have to focus on proximity. Even if you are still apart from your campus, you can still see the value in the relatable content. It really drives assimilation and creates a more unified institution," says Jumper.
I am so excited for this app to be on college campuses because I think it will create a place that will have all of the information about the fun things happening on campus. You should download it ASAP—you won’t want to miss any posts!
Just when you thought social media was consuming your life, here it comes again, but even better than ever. So just remember, speaking your mind doesn’t have to be hard, it should be Speakiesy!
Check it out on the Speakiesy website, download it in the App Store or on Google Play!
Speak On!

Sure, whatever. I was the only one posting on the SCRH board for years and now it is taking off.
In MOKO, you would be investing in the business plan, not in the revenue right now. I post information about MOKO to help new investors become informed as to what is going on with this Social Media company.
MOKO is working on a captive audience. Students and sport fanatics. The students will have access to a safe and secure captive audience group for their school sport (EDU.COM) years and then with this good experience, they will go on to keeping up with sports and politics after they graduate. With MOKO of course.
Just the facts, and the fact is that I pick undervalued stocks with a great business plan and follow them. Take a look at SCRH, Scores Holding, and you can see my methods of investing. I do not like to buy high and sell low, I like to buy low, sell high, and then buy again when the opportunity strikes.
finally looking at all this stuff from you...you must work for the company...because you do not say anything "realistic" just selling the company as an amazing stock. Jeez...and no one says anything back...so I had to...sorry

Western's Newest Social Media App
Speakiesy is the next big thing.
Gianna Petan in Scene on Sep 9, 2015
http://speakiesy.com/
Released this past week, MOKO Social Media Limited came out with Speakiesy. Speakiesy is a social media app that is exclusive by campus. That’s right, there is an app that is exclusive to Western Michigan. According to www.prnnewswire.com, “MOKO identified college students' desire for a dedicated and closed network social app available only to students on their specific campus and is separate from Facebook”. The use of this app is similar to Twitter, highly reliant upon discussion and social life. That means the Greek community can promote their philanthropy events to a wider audience. Other RSO’s on campus can promote their organizations to gain popularity. At the same time, individual users can post statuses, pictures, videos, follow friends, and join in on popular conversations.
Need to sell a textbook? Find a lost dog? Hosting a party? Speakiesy is the best way to get the word out fast, free, safe, and to a large audience. This app is also innovative in that all posts are time-disappearing, vanishing within 90 days of being posted. While the app isn’t anonymous, you are still safe from future employers checking what you have to say.
Western Michigan is one of the first campuses to have this app, and the potential is endless. It is free to download on the app store, for both Apple and Android products. All you need is your campus-specific .edu email. This app is brand new, and the best way to get it going is to use it! Download Speakiesy and make a post! Invite friends, and gain followers. Before we know it, this app is going to explode. Download the app and check out the website here.
