Outlook

With additional dealers for Tinkerine's Ditto Pro and filament being added, we are experiencing increased orders for each quarter in 2015 underpinned by strong acceptance of our focus into the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) educational field. Tinkerine continues to generate additional sales through the introduction of the Tinkerine product line, which includes its Ditto Pro 3D Printer, filament and its TinkerineU online store.

Board Member Change

Tinkerine also announces John Veltheer has resigned from its board of directors.  Mr. Veltheer was a director of the Company since prior to the RTO transaction pursuant to which the Company acquired its operating subsidiary, and now wishes to transition out to focus on his other business endeavours.  The Company is grateful for the counsel and input Mr. Veltheer has provided over the past two years.

With Mr. Veltheer's resignation, the remaining board members intend to embark on a transition to a board composed of a majority of independent directors.  The board, in consultation with other stakeholders of the Company, is currently working to identify appropriate potential candidates to serve as directors.
