Hemp Oil Business Highlights:

          and E-commerce for ChineseInvestors.com, Inc., ChineseHempOil.com and CBD
          Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

"I am very pleased about the Company's significant increase in revenue in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017," says Wang. "Although the blueprint of our Company's business strategy has expanded through its entrance into the Hemp Industry, our core subscription and investors relations services remain strong with significant growth rates. I am thankful for the investors who have supported our ongoing development plans and look forward to a prosperous year ahead."

Looking forward, Wang states, "although the business of our Consumer Division is still in the early stages, the recently launched 'OptHemp' product line is gaining popularity among Chinese consumers in the US, and the Company's first hemp-infused skin care product line will launch in China in the coming months. We believe that through the efforts of our business strategists such as Buyopsy, LLC and its principal Chris Snook, our E-commerce partners such as Elevated.com and Quiverr.com, and our talented management team, we will generate substantial revenues in FY 2018 via sales of our hemp-based products in the United States and China. Our overall goal in 2018 is for the Company is to achieve annual revenue growth of more than 100%, while cutting costs and achieving profitability."

The Company recently announced that its Financial Services/Media Division will also be providing ancillary services in the popular Digital Currency Industry.  Digital Currency has attracted a lot of attention in recent years from the creation of Bitcoin, the world's first decentralized digital currency, to blockchain technology, which allows digital currency to transfer value across the globe without resorting to traditional intermediaries such as banks.  This industry has also created new phenomena such as currency mining, trading, tender, and storage related businesses and has paved the way for companies such as ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. to provide its educational subscription services to the many market investors that see the unique opportunity that digital currency poses and that desire to capitalize on this market opportunity. These interested investors may not have a full understanding of the concept of digital currency or access to the latest market news; therefore the Company sees this as an opportunity to provide fundamental knowledge to Chinese speaking newcomers to digital currency, including straightforward explanations of the basics of digital currency, how to buy it and straightforward trading guidelines.  For those with digital currency experience, the Company will provide more detailed information regarding currency mining, blockchain technology, stock trends and ETFs. As part of its plan to enter the Digital Currency Industry, the Company also recently announced its plans to launch a Chinese Daily Video News Broadcast from the NYSE floor covering the Digital Currency Market.  

"The Company is excited about the opportunity to enter the Digital Currency Market as an ancillary service provider," says Wang. "Although the Company's stock price may have recently been affected short term due to recent news in the Digital Currency Industry, as an ancillary service provider the Company does not anticipate that it will be affected long term by the ban prohibiting Chinese exchanges from providing digital currency trading services, Chinese regulators' efforts to limit the use of digital currencies, the recent release by Chinese authorities declaring initial coin offerings ("ICOs") illegal in China, or the US SEC's warnings that securities laws apply to ICOs.  While these regulatory measures and the recent global news surrounding digital currency exchanges may slow the interest surrounding digital currency and ICOs, they may also make the terrain more reliable and safer for investors. Moreover, with large investors becoming more involved in the Digital Currency Market, we believe that the need to overcome the limitations of digital currency exchanges has become imperative. Although CIIX does not currently have plans for an ICO, we are excited about the opportunity to expand our subscription services and media services division on the opportunities that we expect to emerge from the Digital Currency Market."

"However, CIIX has neither set up a cryptocurrency exchange in China, nor raised capital through an ICO. Some investors have a misunderstanding of our business," clarifies Wang.
