CapitalCube now attracts over 2 million unique visitors per month.

Finance and The Wall Street Journal.

Access from mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) continues to be strong and remains a fast growing segment.
CapitalCube continues to publish its unique earnings analysis on approximately 25,000 publicly listed companies in 14 countries, including analysis on publicly listed equities in North America. Due to strong demand, the Company is expanding the countries and companies covered, and expects to begin publishing earnings analysis on Japanese stocks shortly.
CapitalCube has started publishing unique earnings analysis of micro-cap and pre-revenue companies publicly listed in North America. In addition, CapitalCube now also publishes analysis of ETFs based on the performance of all of the underlying constituents of each ETF - enabling users to uniquely compare ETFs within a particular asset class and even across asset classes. The Company expects the unique nature of this content to further drive traffic and users to its portal. The Company also expects to start publishing high quality content in other languages shortly to help further increase traffic and user engagement.
In addition, the Company's platform is now mature and applicable to other verticals - including non-financial applications such as healthcare, as well as in related financial applications like the robotic advisory space. The Company anticipates new business opportunities with robotic advisory services as well leading hedge funds and stock exchanges in 2016.
The Company also closed a non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD$1,090,000 during the first quarter.
