This Week at XYO #9: Orange Shoes, And… Much, Much More…
Dear XYO HODL’ers and Community Members!
I’ve got some big news.
First, Mike Stenger, our resident comedian and copywriter, had a busy week. He ordered a pair of even more annoying orange shoes (than usual) on Amazon Prime.
Here’s a pic:
What can top that?
Oh, yes, how about this? We also released our XY Semi-Annual Financial Report with the SEC.
And the news… is… phenomenal!
Here are the highlights:
- Sales for the six-month period ending June 30, 2018 were $15.0 million, up $14.6 million, on a year-over-year basis
- The first half of 2018 was defined by high sales growth and continued development of the XYO Network blockchain platform
- Approximately $13 million in sales were attributable to the pre-sale and main sale of XYO tokens
- Net Income increased $7.6 million year-over-year, up from a loss of $2 million over the same period in 2017
- Generated positive cash flows despite significant investment in infrastructure and human capital, with a net increase of $1.2 million in cash and equivalents
