Additional Highlights for the FY2018 included:

Changed corporate name to Life On Earth, Inc. to better reflect our business and where we are heading;

Expanded the product portfolio with the acquisitions of Victoria's Kitchen™ and expanded distribution capabilities with the acquisition of the Giant Beverage Company, adding over $3.2 Million in Annual Revenues in the new 2019 fiscal year (started June 1, 2018);

Appointed former American Airlines and AOL executive, Roy DiBenerdini to the Board as an independent director;

Began distributing its Gran Nevada™ line of drinks into 7-Eleven franchisee stores in Maryland and Northern Virginia;

Gained additional authorization from the Kroger's Michigan Division for an initial rollout in 117 of the retailer's stores in the Upper Midwest. The Company expects its Victoria Kitchen™'s products to be available in those Kroger Supermarkets during the current quarter;

Repaid Convertible Debt to two of the institutional investors; and
Signed exclusive distribution agreements on multiple products.

"We continue to execute on our plan towards our path to profitability. We remain committed to improving our top and bottom lines and hope to exit the year cash flow positive. We now have a proven business model allowing us to continuously add new products and distributors. As a subsequent event we closed on the Just Chill™ brand acquisition. The full impact of that acquisition, as well as the Giant Beverage Company acquisition will not be fully realized until Q2 (September to November). We are now in the latter stages of developments to foster revenue growth and better margins to propel us to the next level. While benefiting from the scale of efficiencies and cross marketing opportunities we look forward to continued improvement in future quarters. Our objective is to grow revenues towards $8-$10 million during the current fiscal year, assuming we are able to continue to execute our plans of growth from our brands," stated Mr. Fernando Oswaldo Leonzo, Life On Earth's Chief Executive Officer.
