Snipp Interactive Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter Revenue Growth and Net Income

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 3, 2013) - Snipp Interactive Inc. ("Snipp"), an international provider of mobile marketing solutions listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX VENTURE:SPN), is pleased to announce its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. A copy of the complete unaudited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The total sales revenues for the 2^nd quarter of 2013 grew 95% from the prior year.

Revenue for the quarter was $207,196 compared to $106,321 from the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue is attributable to a multitude of factors including the creation of new sales channels, additional sales contracts from existing customers, the acquisition of new customers and the launch of innovative new products as part of Snipp's Mobilize Me platform.

Net income for the period was $31,692 compared to a net loss of $169,357 for the same period last year.

The positive net income for the 2^nd quarter of 2013 was mainly due to the decrease in fair value of our derivative liabilities resulting in a non-cash gain. The net loss before other non-operating items was $232,493 in Q2 compared with $330,380 the year prior. The decrease in net loss (before other non-operating items) is mainly due to increased sales revenue as a result of the continued acquisition of new clients and new mobile solutions within Snipp's portfolio (e.g. SnippAR, SnippCheck, SnippWine, SnippShip and other similar products).

At the end of the period, current assets were $432,495 and current liabilities $199,828.

Atul Sabharwal, CEO and Founder of Snipp commented, "We are pleased to announce our sixth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. Snipp has now established and carried out successful campaigns for clients in the US, Canada, Middle East and Mexico. With the recent strategic investment by our partners in Brazil, we will be shortly launching the platform in South America that will further enhance the top and bottom lines for the company. In addition to new markets, we also successfully launched our cloud based QR code creation service for clients to efficiently incorporate highly customized QR codes into their mobile marketing mix. Along with the other cloud based solutions that make up our Mobilize Me platform such as SnippCheck, an industry leading solution for mobile receipt and image processing, companies across the globe and in any industry can work with Snipp to rapidly and cost effectively integrate mobile not only into their marketing mix but into the core operations of their business."

Outlook:

The company has set the foundation to continue to grow the company operationally profitable this year. Several key initiatives are expected to bear fruit for the company, any one of which can drive significant revenue and profitability gains for the company.
