ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE THIRD QUARTER
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
The financial information relating to the third
quarter ended December 31, 2017 should be read in conjunction with
the Corporation's unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements and the Management Discussion and Analysis
dated February 12, 2018. These documents are available at

OUTLOOK
D-BOX operates in two major areas: the
entertainment market and the simulation and training market which
have their respective sub-markets. In light of the business
development activities in each of these two markets, D-BOX
anticipates the long-term upward trend in revenue to continue.
The Corporation pursues the expansion of footprint to
increase recurring revenues. In combination with this expected
growth of revenue, D-BOX is increasing the level of its operating
expenses aiming, amongst others, to support the sales and marketing
of technological innovations. This strategy will help solidify
D‑BOX’s position in existing sub-markets and will facilitate
entering new ones.
D-BOX expertise in immersive motion and
true-to-life simulation positions the company to be an active
participant in the growing virtual reality market. The
company is actively developing new applications for VR and other
related market. D-BOX proprietary technology may also enhance
the expansion of VR by potentially reducing the motion dizziness
sometimes associated with VR experiences. D‑BOX is
particularly focused on this new trend as the size of the virtual
and augmented reality markets which may soon reach billions of
dollars according to many industry sources.
