PotNetwork

PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:POTN)  filed its 2019 Annual Report and reported that its revenues fell 41% to $15 million versus $25.5 million in 2018. The company attributed the drop in revenue to “distribution contraction as a result of the FDA Warning Letter, along with the paring and streamlining of the product lines in mid-2019.”

The company received an FDA warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on March 28, 2019, related to the marketing of CBD products by Diamond CBD, a subsidiary of the company. Diamond CBD removed all claims from the website that were referenced in the Warning Letter. Specifically, claims that included references to clinical studies on CBD demonstrating health benefits for patients with certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Based on those claims, the FDA considered the products to be unapproved new drugs in violation of the FDCA.

The net loss for 2019 was $(3,367,831) versus 2018’s net profit of $242,634 and was attributable to the decrease in gross profit. The gross profit from the sale of all products in 2019 was $4,816,604, a drop of 46% from 2018’s $8,959,433.
