Dear FLIP Community,

We thank you for your ongoing support and community growth efforts. Below is a summary of our project progress. Moving forward, we will update you through these monthly reports as well as regular press releases to the gaming and crypto public.

Development

We are making good development progress with the FLP wallet and FLP payment within the Gameflip platform. On our internal test environment, testers are actively testing transactions using FLP. Our platform will allow sellers to choose whether he wants to be paid in USD, FLP, or combination of both. When both are selected, buyers can purchase from both FLP and USD wallets, not having to worry about having insufficient balance in each individual wallet. This design choice requires more development effort from our engineering team, but we believe the flexibility is important for users to adopt FLP.

The bulk of the development is now complete. Additional testing and bug fixes are still needed and some work still remains before we can roll it out live to our community. Over the month of March, we expect to polish the web UI to improve usability and to add more support to onboard users who are unfamiliar with the FLP crypto-token and blockchain.

In preparation for the large marketing campaign scheduled for the summer timeframe to promote FLP, we are localizing the Gameflip website and mobile apps to the following languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, Polish, German, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Partnerships

In addition to seeding our FLP token among the 3M+ dedicated users on Gameflip, we’ve been busy lining up some exciting partnerships to bring FLP into the gaming ecosystem. We can’t disclose the names of the companies we’re currently speaking with due to NDAs governing our discussions. However, we believe our community should receive as much information as possible regarding potential partnerships. Over the coming months, we’ll make announcements to keep the FLP community updated on our progress including the following:

• Publishers — Company A: European mobile RTS and MMO game developer, Company B: global European based PC MMO game developer, Company C: global Asian based PC and mobile RPG and MMO game developer, Company D: global European based mobile RPG and RTS game developer

• eSports platforms — Company E: one of the largest competitive gaming platforms in the world, Company F: one of the fasting growing tournament platforms in Europe and Asia

• Gamer communities and services — Company G: major online MMO gaming community, Company H: leading gaming hardware and gamer services company
