VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 31, 2020 /CNW/ - LEAF Mobile Inc. (TSX.V: LEAF), a leading creator and publisher of counter culture mobile games, today released financial results for the second quarter of 2020. The Company will be hosting a conference call to discuss the second quarter and first-half results, September 1^st at 6AM PT/9AM ET. See below for dial-in details.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, LEAF completed its qualifying transaction, which included its acquisition of LDRLY (Technologies) Inc.

As such, though the interim financial statements reflect the financial performance of LEAF alone for the period leading up to April 17, and the combined financial performance of LEAF and LDRLY thereafter, the financial statements and corresponding MD&A both include disclosure and analysis of LEAF and LDRLY's combined operations for the entire six month period ended June 30, 2020, as does this news release.
