Comments regarding operations and outlook<\/b><\/p>\n
“The first quarter of 2012 brought into clear focus all that we have been working towards since Cannabank’s initial investment into Medical Marijuana, Inc. about a year ago,” said Michael Llamas, President of Medical Marijuana, Inc. “We have spent this last year essentially getting our house in order by clarifying the growth strategy and systematically identifying, acquiring and growing early stage companies across the spectrum of the MMJ industry from product development to retail sales.\u00a0 As witnessed by our strong quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth, there is tremendous opportunity in this industry.\u00a0 We have the capital and the systems in place to buy, incubate and grow the best companies across multiple categories within the industry. At the same time, there is aggressive natural attrition of other companies and whole categories as the industry right sizes itself-which creates further opportunities and differentiation for Medical Marijuana, Inc. this truly is the perfect storm for acquiring income producing businesses.<\/p>\n
“However, we also know that a 12,000 percent year-over-year growth is decidedly a factor of where we are in our growth cycle. We won’t always have such favorable comparables moving forward past our second year. We do expect the comparable growth to normalize, but more importantly, we expect continued healthy growth in our core businesses as they begin to mature and the industry stabilizes. I’m equally proud that we have been able to maintain this rapid growth with a small core of dedicated and truly innovative employees and as a result, our operating costs have begun to stabilize since the close of the fourth quarter. We anticipate continued cost efficiency in line with future growth.”<\/p>\n
Additional operational updates for 2012<\/b><\/p>\n “With 16 states and Washington, D.C. allowing for legal use of medical marijuana and twelve more states with legalization initiatives on the ballot, we are confident that the opportunity for continued growth in the US, regardless of state boundaries, is exceptional,” added Llamas. “Equally as important is the growing movement towards decriminalization outside the US and across Europe, which will allow us to leverage what we have learned in mature legalized states like Colorado and California, and apply it to international markets. We see opportunity for significant national and international expansion by the end of 2012 and we are currently putting in place the necessary supply chain and infrastructure elements to best position Medical Marijuana, Inc. and our shareholders to benefit from this growth.”<\/p>\n Financial Tables<\/b><\/p>\n Three months ended<\/b><\/p>\n Mar. 31, 2011<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three months ended<\/b><\/p>\n Jun. 30, 2011<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three months ended<\/b><\/p>\n Sept. 30, 2011<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three months ended<\/b><\/p>\n Dec. 31, 2011<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three months ended<\/b><\/p>\n Mar. 31, 2012<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Revenue<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n $20,426<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $196,748<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $198,813<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $430,140<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $1,788,445<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Assets<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n $74,376<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $568,116<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $1,443,251<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $1,948,165<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $6,356,301<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Debt<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n $73,403<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $103,464<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $14,879<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $26,785<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $101,778<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Net Income<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n ($42,613)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n ($1,292,722)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n ($1,067,473)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n ($62,711)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n $1,208,136<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n FORWARD-LOOKING DISCLAIMER<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements and information, as defined within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the Safe Harbor created by those sections.\u00a0 This material contains statements about expected future events and\/or financial results that are forward-looking in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties.
