('VR Education' or the 'Group')

Trading Update

VR Education (AIM: VRE; ESM: 6VR), a leading virtual reality ('VR') technology company focused on the education space, provides the following trading update.

While Titanic VR has already launched on PC, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality, it is yet to launch on PlayStation, where a significant percentage of sales are expected to be generated. As set out in the interim results announced on 18 September 2018, the PlayStation launch was expected soon thereafter.

The process of on-boarding Titanic VR with PlayStation has taken longer than anticipated and significantly longer than the equivalent on-boarding for Apollo 11, however, the Board remains confident that the Group will be able to sell Titanic VR on PlayStation this financial year.

The Group has reviewed its sales forecasts and believes that, as a result of the above delays, there will an impact on FY-2018 revenues resulting in a significant portion deferred until FY-2019 and, as such, revenues to 31 December 2018 will be materially below expectations. The amount of the shortfall will be determined by the launch date of Titanic VR on PlayStation and how its sales perform. The Group will update the market once there is further clarity regarding timing of the PlayStation release and the resulting impact on revenue.

The Group's main focus remains the development and commercialisation of ENGAGE, its online virtual learning and corporate training platform. The commercial release of ENGAGE with full payment capabilities is progressing to plan and is scheduled to occur before the end of Q4-2018.

The Group has enhanced its sales capability by engaging Mike Boyce, Non-Executive Director, and a highly experienced sales executive in the education space, in a part-time consultancy capacity on business development. Should this appointment turn out to be permanent, then the Group will consider appointing another Independent Non-Executive Director to ensure it remains compliant with the QCA Corporate Governance Code.

Richard Cooper, Non-Executive Chairman of VR Education, said: "We are naturally disappointed that the on-boarding process with PlayStation has taken both longer than expected and longer than we have previously experienced. We understand that large corporates often are very formulaic in the on-boarding process and we are learning from this experience. We remain confident however that Titanic VR will be available on PlayStation by the end of this financial year."
