The Company's gross operating revenues for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, experienced a 41% year-over-year increase largely attributable to consumer product sales by the Company's subsidiaries, ChineseHempOil.com Inc. and CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ("CBD Biotech").

- A 1,062% increase in other revenue generated by the Company's ancillary cryptocurrency lines, up $206,648 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, compared to $19,453 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

- ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. (Domestic): Launched OptHemp, the Company's first premium, domestic, private-label hemp oil line.
- Company expanded subscription services and educational products to include cryptocurrency products:
http://www.newcoins168.com: In November 2017, the Company launched a free portal providing news and investment education in the Chinese language for the global Chinese community covering cryptocurrency basics, trading guidelines, market commentary and analysis regarding cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and mining, sector-related stock trends and ETFs and strategies and opportunities to capitalize on the cryptocurrency market.
Daily Cryptocurrency Chinese Video Newscast from the NYSE: In Q1 2018, the Company began working with Wall Street Multimedia ("WSM"), an independent news agency located at the NYSE, to produce a daily cryptocurrency video newscast in Chinese providing information and analysis regarding the digital currency world, including specific cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum; industry trends; price movement; blockchain technology; sector-related stocks and ETFs; etc.
Bitcoin Millionaire VIP Livestream: In April 2018, the Company launched a new paid cryptocurrency subscription service modeled after the Company's core business providing one of the world's first live Chinese cryptocurrency broadcasts streaming 6.5 hours/day and featuring analysts providing live trading demonstrations.
Bitcoin Trading Academy LLC: In July 2018, the Company began offering in person and on-line courses on cryptocurrency investment and trading.
"We have seen significant growth in revenue in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, which was largely attributed to our Company's consumer product lines and our strategic focus on CBD hemp sales in China and within the Chinese community," says Mr. Warren Wang, CEO of ChineseInvestors.com. "At the same time, we expanded our subscription services and educational offerings to cover the cryptocurrency market and have plans to establish a cryptocurrency ATM network and a domestic online coin-to-coin exchange for Chinese cryptocurrency investors. While our subscription revenues decreased slightly in FY 2018, we have been developing opportunities around new services and educational products which we have seen gain tremendous traction."
Mr. Wang continues, "Looking forward, with our consumer products segment posting strong revenues and the regulatory climate appearing to lean in favor of legalizing hemp as an agricultural commodity, we intend to continue to expand our consumer division by dedicating more resources to marketing hemp-based CBD products both domestically and in China. At the same time, we will continue to offer our core financial subscription services with a focus on increasing subscription revenues through targeted marketing of the Company's new cryptocurrency subscription services and educational products."
The results of the Company's operations for its May 31, 2018 fiscal year are set forth more fully in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on August 29, 2018. (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1459482/000168316818002557/0001683168-18-002557-index.htm)
