During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company generated operating revenues of $9,442,555, an increase of approximately 168%, compared to revenues of $3,529,584 in the year ended December 31, 2017. Revenues for the year ended 2018 included a one-time consideration for an intellectual property license agreement with Abba Medix Corp. (AMC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly-traded Canada House Wellness Group, Inc. (CHV) for $1.15 million in cash. Other income for 2018 increased to $573,875, compared to $145,222 in 2017. The increase in the Company's overall revenue was driven by an increase in new clients, and new states adopting cannabis legislation and initiatives. Other factors driving the Company's overall revenue was due to an increase in new clients, providing additional services to existing clients, and expanding its geographic footprint by entering into strategic licensing agreements to offer services to new markets with established companies in those areas.

The Company reported cost of goods and services totaling $6,865,045 during the year ended December 31, 2018. This is compared to $2,227,303 during the same time period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to an increase in overall product sales volume.

Gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2018, increased 208% to $6,865,045 from $2,227,303 for the year ended December 30, 2017.

Operating expenses during 2018 decreased by 37% to $4,694,704 from $7,463,253 during 2017, due primarily to stock compensation.

The Company reported income from operations of $2,170,341 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $5,235,950 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company's current assets increased significantly, by 149%, for the year ended December 31, 2018, to $3,449,231 from $1,384,687 during the same time period in 2017. The Company expects to continue exploring the deployment of additional capital to accomplish its corporate goals and initiatives.

"This is a pivotal year for the Company as we continue to work towards the next phase of our growth strategy," said Mr. Andy Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of Medicine Man Technologies. "In 2018, we invested in our corporate strategy and expanded from being a first mover in the cannabis industry to becoming a major, vertically integrated cannabis brand servicing domestic and foreign markets. Our appointment of our new COO, Joe Puglise, has allowed us to remain efficient and effective as we expand our footprint further and enter into new verticals. Today we are proud to say that we have been able to successfully utilize our expertise and intellectual property to integrate research, retail, cultivation, formulation and distribution operations with active and past clients in 18 states and seven countries. Our focus now is to leverage the entire management and leadership experience as we continue to further develop our growth strategies with the two pending acquisitions of Medicine Man Denver and MedPharm Holdings, LLC, expected to close in late 2019 or Q1 2020, in which post-acquisition is expected to generate a minimum of a  $40+ million-a-year run rate."
