respond faster than ever, delivering the online experience that players really
want from social gaming," said Phil Shenk, co-founder and CEO of Gravity Bear.
"It`s a rapidly growing market that we only see expanding further. The casual
games industry is constantly evolving and it is very exciting to be in a
position to offer players something new that we believe could change the face of
entertainment on community sites."

"Our work with Gravity Bear is leading to an exciting new business opportunity
in the social games market," said Damian Black, President and CEO of SQLstream,
"The technologies we will be integrating with Gravity Bear`s unique game design
philosophy will help customize game content for the masses, increasing loyalty
and resulting in a new kind of relationship between the player and content
providers."

social games market is experiencing unprecedented growth. Social platforms such
as Facebook have become the birthplace of a new gaming movement with a proven
audience of tens of millions. Gravity Bear will use the latest in cutting edge
technology, such as SQLstream, to establish new entertainment products that
evolve and develop with each player's input and participation.

Gravity Bear is currently developing an original IP built to satisfy the
company's core mission of providing new entertainment products for an all-new
era of social gaming.
