The registrant’s net loss increased to approximately $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, representing an increase of approximately $21.6 million compared to approximately $10,895,049 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The increase in revenue was primarily due to acquisitions that were completed during 2017 and 2018, cryptocurrency mining operations and on revenue from a related party for the manufacture of the Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement plasma-laser system. A significant component of the increase in our net loss was due to interest charges, amortization of debt discount and stock-based compensation.
