"This past quarter has seen Slyce continue to perform as the leading presence in the visual search industry," said Mark Elfenbein, President and CEO of Slyce. "We are taking advantage of a highly engaged market of major brands seeking to capitalize on - and monetize - image-based mobile search. Slyce has demonstrated another impressive quarter in terms of contracting additional globally recognized brands, such as the largest global toys and baby products retailer, Toys"R"Us. Increasing revenue in the quarter reflects progress in the process of onboarding initial clients and commencing image-recognition services.

In addition to significant revenue growth, Slyce completed an $8.7 million equity financing, strengthening the company's ability to execute on all business development opportunities and to develop and refine its visual search platform in order to continue delivering a market-leading product. The Company's previously announced contract with a Fortune 50 retail customer has just launched on both iTunes and the Google Play store. Management anticipates a steady pipeline of new customer contracts during the remainder of 2015, generating increasing monthly recurring licensing revenues."

Client Acquisition

Currently announced Slyce customers include Toys"R"Us, Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, Tilly's and a Fortune 50 company with an inventory of over 1.3 million products.

During Q2, Slyce also finalized a contract with Photon, the world's leading digital innovator for corporations. The agreement established Slyce as Photon's provider of mobile visual product search technology enabling Photon to rapidly and seamlessly deploy Slyce's real world, 'snap to purchase', image recognition platform into digital experiences created for Photon's client roster of Fortune 500 brands and retailers.

Platform Growth

During the quarter, with deployments of its technology entering the marketplace through major retailer app launches and escalating user growth of its direct-to-consumer apps SnipSnap & Pounce, Slyce generated a significant increase in user numbers with the company's platform now servicing over 12.7 Million, up 58% quarter on the quarter.

Revenue Generation

A combination of monthly recurring software licensing fees and fees associated with purchase transactions contributed to Slyce's revenue growth to $391,147 during the second quarter.
