– The increase in the net comprehensive income is mostly derived from the Company’s unrealized gains from its holdings in AXIM Biotechnologies. Portfolio company Kannaway showed increased revenue from $305,670 in Q1 2016 to $1,741,553 in Q1 2017, an increase of 469%.
“We are pleased to see certain management re-structuring efforts rewarded after the company made changes in 2016,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus. “We believe that our revenue and sales velocities have the ability to maintain their current momentum. We have had significant investment portfolio appreciation in terms of unrealized gains in the past year and expect ‘market-average’ performance in the future. We are satisfied with where operations currently sit and believe that in the coming years we will see other investments and company divisions adding nice value for the company and its shareholders.”
Titus added, “Further, we continue to be encouraged by the growing international acceptance of cannabis and the progress our team has made in educating the world on its many therapeutic uses. I am quite excited about international expansion opportunities. We are thankful for our dedicated team and the continued support of our shareholders.”
