TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jul 31, 2017) - Amfil Technologies Inc. ( OTC PINK : AMFE ) is pleased to provide our shareholders with an in-depth summary of our FYE 2017 and provide guidance on Fiscal Year 2018 including an update on Q1 2018 progress thus far.

Amfil Technologies Inc. posted revenues of $6,630,973 for our FYE 2017 up 2376% from Fiscal Year 2016 which posted $279,045 in total revenue. The company saw a gross profit of $3,678,780 and a net income of $248,679. The company as at year end of June 30th 2017 had $267,257 in cash, $4,691,097 in inventory and $6,599,844 in total assets.

Snakes & Lagers Inc. / Snakes & Lattes Inc. Acquisition & Impact on the Financial Statements

Subsequent to the announced L.O.I. on April 4th 2016, the company closed the acquisition and announced the definitive agreement on September 28th 2016.

This subsidiary has had a tremendous impact on the financial statements since Fiscal Q2 2017. While the net income of $248,679 may not appear significant, the sales of $6,630,973 allowed the company to execute its expansion plan for each subsidiary and continue to run at a profit. Snakes & Lattes Inc. has been operating with an increased staffing cost since Q4 due to the training of staff members for the new location. All of the new managers and some new staff members have been hired and have been training in the existing locations for the past few weeks, working towards the approximately 70 additional employees which will be required to staff the 3rd and largest location opening first week of September, dubbed 'Midtown'. Staff totals for the Snakes & Lagers Inc. / Snakes & Lattes Inc. subsidiary are now at 126 members. These costs, as well as costs for professional fees and construction, have been injected into the location to ensure that the opening of 'Midtown' proceeds as planned and immediately begins generating revenue. In addition, the subsidiary has been adding strength to the distribution and fulfillment division in preparation for further expansion into Fiscal 2018, with large revenue increases projected as a result.

Fiscal 2017 has been by far, the largest grossing, and most growth driven fiscal year in company history. During this year, the company has made substantial investments into the future revenues, including the funding of the new Snakes & Lattes 'Midtown' location plus the additional staffing requirements, the investments into the distribution arm of the subsidiary and the funding of the GRO3 subsidiary's expansion of operations. These investments in the future have positioned the company for an even larger grossing Fiscal 2018, continuing the company's pattern of quarter over quarter, and year over year revenue growth.

Thus far into Q1 of Fiscal 2018, we are already hitting revenue figures that exceed the revenues of entire quarters of Fiscal 2017. Our management team is very pleased to say the least with the results thus far and the trajectory that the company remains on into Fiscal 2018. As we look into Fiscal 2018 with eager anticipation and excitement, we would like to once again thank our loyal shareholders for their support throughout this overwhelmingly successful year.

2). The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. The system is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System recently passed product review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states.
