VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XR Immersive Tech Inc. (“XRi” or “Immersive Tech” or the “Company”) (CSE:VRAR) (FWB:79W) (OTCQB: FNTTF) , a leading location-based virtual reality (“LBVR”) platform for content distribution and facilities management, today reported results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year 2022 ended June 30, 2022, and reported half-year results before update.
“We had a great second quarter and first half of 2022 with strong revenue growth, including a number of important strategic milestones that I’d like to share,” said Tim Bieber, XRi CEO.
XRi delivered the following results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2022:
For the Company’s second quarter, revenue was $348,328 with an associated cost of goods sold of $71,375, representing a 752% increase in revenue sequentially. Revenue for the first half of 2022 was $525,004 with related cost of goods sold of $154,124, a revenue increase of 1,184% for the period ended June 30, 2022.
The company achieved several key corporate, M&A and operational milestones during the first half of 2022, laying a strong foundation for future growth and innovation. Some of these important milestones are reflected in the following corporate update:
The Company has completed the acquisition of Synthesis VR Inc. (“SVR”) announced on February 22, 2022, successfully transitioning SVR’s management, development and support teams into the full Immersive Tech team. The acquisition adds revenue and experienced team members to the company, but most importantly, a software SaaS platform powering over 400 VR arcades worldwide and a marketplace of nearly 375 VR games and content licensed to this network of operators. Since the beginning of 2022, the company has seen a record 33% increase in the number of VR operators subscribing to and joining the SVR Network, and a 15% increase in third-party game developers adding their games to the SVR Marketplace. SVR is fast becoming the largest VR out-of-home entertainment marketplace for gaming, education and training experiences worldwide. Read the full acquisition announcement here.
SVR announced that an industry-first Android platform has been officially launched and is available to the company’s network of operators worldwide. This is the market’s first wireless streaming solution for Android-based VR headsets, giving operators access to commercially licensed games on the SVR Marketplace, as well as educational and corporate content for the Meta Quest 2 VR headset. The platform offers six free roam arena and room scale Android-based games for the popular Quest 2 device out of the box. In addition, operators are now able to launch content, control and track bookings and sessions on all Android-based VR headsets such as Vive Focus 3, Pico Neo 3 Pro and Quest 2 from a central location to ensure operations simple, effective and reliable. Read the full press release here.
The SVR Android platform is a great addition to the VR operating arsenal the company now offers, including its recently announced partnership with QuarkXR, another industry-first Android VR streaming solution for all PC-based VR content. QuarkXR, a pioneering company focused on VR streaming and a trusted solution provider for companies like Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone and Ericsson, among others. Read more details here.
The SVR division has seen incredible month-to-month growth that we believe will continue through the end of 2022, including additional product releases for the SVR operator network and the continued expansion of its content marketplace library into many new categories of VR content , including education (see partnership announcement with VictoryXR here) and training in the health and safety category (see the partnership with Gold Finch Works here).
The company was thrilled to announce the installation of its UNCONTAINED attraction for its first client; the Pacific National Exhibition (“PNE”) in Vancouver, BC, which went live to the public on July 18, 2022 (read the press release here). The attraction was successfully delivered, set up and PNE employees trained in its operation within 24 hours of the tickets being sold to the public. On August 20, 2022, PNE entered its exhibition season and we are pleased to report an average throughput of over 68% of capacity in its first exhibition week, with the busy weekend hours registering an overall throughput of over 80%. These throughputs and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the guests exceeded the expectations of the PNE customer.

The Company also announced on January 19, 2022 that it had filed two complete patent applications for its patent-pending technology with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. These filings add to the company’s growing patent portfolio, as the company has previously filed US provisional patent applications for its technology. The Company chose to file these Canadian patent applications in priority to filings with the U.S. Patent Office to further protect its valuable Intellectual Property (“IP”) while continuing to innovate and drive the development of cutting-edge VR/AR technology to deliver To support revenue growth and opportunities for both customers looking to deliver hyper-immersive experiences and creators of the Metaverse.
I’m looking forward to; With the outstanding revenue growth we are seeing from the SynthesisVR operator network, including subscriptions and its marketplace game licensing, the company will focus on growing SVR SaaS and licensing revenue, global operator reach and partnership opportunities through the end of 2022. This overall strategy of revenue and network growth includes a focus on continuing to secure strong partnerships and the release of additional cutting-edge technology products that will explode SVR’s growth.
