Snakes & Lattes Tempe
The Snakes & Lattes Tempe location is scheduled for official opening on Friday October 12, 2018. We encourage anyone in the area to come and join in on opening day and enjoy what the Tempe location has to offer!
The opening of Snakes & Lattes Tempe is pivotal for the company as it marks the brand’s official penetration into the US market with a brick and mortar location on US soil. The company was fortunate to have secured prime real estate for the venue in the Mill Avenue District which is considered to be the hottest entertainment center in the entire state of Arizona. Tempe’s Mill Avenue is pedestrian friendly and has ample parking. The location is minutes away from Sky Harbor International Airport as well as Arizona State University, which has over 72,000 annual enrollees. In our estimation, there are well over 250,000 college students annually at campuses anywhere from walking distance to a 20-minute drive from the Snakes & Lattes Tempe location.
Upgrades and renovation are nearing completion as the crews are putting on the ‘finishing touches’ which includes signage and other aesthetics. The new venue is fully staffed and is preparing the team for a smooth launch ensuring that everyone is prepared to deliver the quality of service, entertainment, and knowledge which Snakes & Lattes is known for.

The company is very excited for the launch of its first US based retail location and looks forward to the additional locations which have been committed to and are moving forward as planned. The team continues ongoing discussions with interested parties, investors, real estate agents, and landlords for further locations, which are at various stages of negotiation. Updates regarding the additional locations can be expected appropriately as they develop.
Snakes & Lattes has also elected to extend their partnership with Propeller Coffee into the US locations. Propeller Coffee is a fan-favorite and has supplied our happy customers throughout the Toronto locations with high quality drip coffee, cold brew, and espresso-based drinks. We are confident that our US customers will be just as enthusiastic about their coffee products as we are! For more info about Propeller Coffee visit www.propellercoffee.com/public/

Snakes & Lattes Inc Overview
The Snakes & Lattes Inc subsidiary continues to deliver value through all of its business divisions. The number of retail locations has now doubled since the acquisition. Now that Snakes & Lattes has overcome the obstacles required to break ground in the US, it paves the way for the multiple further locations which are currently in planning stages. The growth rate of the retail locations in the US is expected to increase significantly as the brand feeds off the momentum gained through the recent push by the US Expansion Team. The company projects that it will have many additional locations fully operational by the end of 2019 and expects this number to grow exponentially moving forward.
The Fulfilment and Distribution division has been a huge contributor to the company’s revenues and continues to expand the scope and scale of its operations. As previously announced, it has obtained new exclusive distribution rights to a wide array of game titles since the acquisition, and continues to forge new partnerships, and grow its client base which includes numerous major name-brand retailers.
The Publishing Division, which is the newest initiative undertaken by the company, has made incredible progress in a very short time span. Following the strategic all-cash acquisition of Morning, a game publisher and distributor based out of France, the company formed Snakes & Lattes Publishing SAS. This division is in the process of finalizing the production of multiple new, and highly anticipated game-titles such as Kill The Unicorns, BUURN, Red Panda, and has many more in the works at various stages of progression. Snakes & Lattes Publishing SAS and Morning are expected to be a major contributor to revenue, profitability, and expansion capability moving forward as well as deliver maximum value back to our shareholders.
Further updates regarding the growth of the Snakes & Lattes subsidiary, and the company as a whole can be expected over the coming weeks.

About Us:
Amfil Technologies Inc. is the parent company to four wholly owned subsidiaries.

2). The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. The system is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System recently passed product review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states. The subsidiary has developed a strategic partnership with Roto Gro, the creator of proprietary rotary hydroponic technology. More information on this product line can be found on the www.gro3systems.com website or on twitter @GRO3Systems.
