Tapinator, Inc. (TAPM) is a leading developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms. The Company's portfolio includes over 300 mobile gaming titles that have received more than 450 million player downloads. Tapinator generates revenue through the sale of branded advertisements and consumer app store transactions within its games. Tapinator, based in New York and with product development teams located globally, was founded in 2013 by a visionary team that has been building mobile games and applications since 2007 and has achieved multiple successful exits for investors.   
Tapinator's business strategy includes the creation of a select number of best-in-class Full-Featured Games, such as ROCKY™ and Solitaire Dash, which provide game players with more in-depth, unique content that supports long-term retention and monetization and which can generate significant investment returns. The Full-Featured Games model creates the potential for sustainable $100+ million franchise-type games that have product lifespans of five to ten years. Tapinator uses a proprietary set of dynamic development and marketing processes factored upon gaming category, estimated player retention and projected player profitability. Recent successful launches of two new Full-Featured titles – Big Sport Fishing 2017 and Dice Mage 2 – were both recognized as "New Games We Love" on Apple's iOS platform. During its first seven days after global release, BSF2017 received over 520,000 player downloads and Dice Mage 2 has generated over 600,000 player installs to date. On iOS, Dice Mage 2 reached #52 in Top Grossing for the Adventure Games category in the United States and generated over $135,000 in gross bookings during the first 30 days after global launch. Three new titles, ColorFill, Fusion Heroes and Divide & Conquer are in the pipeline for release in Q4 2017 and early 2018 as well. The formula for these game combines proven gameplay elements with best-in-class monetization systems, supplemented by Tapinator's strong creative team of developers, strategists and product specialists. The company's Rapid-Launch Games division also saw increasing player interest recently with the launch of games such as Scary Shark Evolution 3D. Tapinator's revenue sources are diversified and include 54 percent derived from advertising placed within its mobile games and 46 percent from consumer app store purchases. The company limits advertising placements to between game levels and also runs rewarded video ad units that are tied directly into the game's virtual currency. Tapinator's portfolio includes more than 300 active titles, with no single game accounting for more than 25 percent of total revenues during the first half of 2017. As Tapinator looks toward the future, opportunities in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) show great promise. The company has released several prototype VR games to gather data before pursuing a more significant VR product. Recent market reports suggest that the VR industry will hit $30 billion by 2020 and the AR industry will surpass that with a projected $120 billion. Tapinator also plans to pursue publishing transactions that leverage its network, platform relationships and operational excellence. Significant opportunities for expanding Tapinator's IP library to new gaming platforms are also on the horizon. The company is targeting 30%+ annual bookings growth for 2017-2019.
