"We achieved strong results in the third quarter due in large part to successfully delivering on our 2017 execution priorities, including successfully divesting non profitable line of business, improving our competitive positioning across online B2B pharmaceuticals trading and commercializing key technologies and new product lines," said Suren Ajjarapu, CEO. "Additionally, we completed a strategic review and initiated a business pivot to move more of our resources behind our most sizable growth opportunities."

Net income from continuing operations improved to $149,077, compared to a loss of $(1,111,633) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
