For 2018, DPW sees growth for the following subsidiaries:
- Super Crypto Mining, Inc will begin reporting sales as of the first quarter of 2018;
- Digital Power Lending is now a California lending company operating under a California finance lender’s license (#60DBO-77905) and is building a lending platform to be rolled out the second quarter of 2018;
- DPW will begin to recognize revenue in 2018 for fulfillment of the March 15, 2017 purchase order from MTIX, Ltd. which will increase our gross sales significantly.
"The lending business will be a large driver of growth for DPW shareholders in 2018 and beyond. In 2017, we were successful in increasing our asset base and adding value while raising capital," said Milton "Todd" Ault, III, the Company’s CEO & Chairman. Ault continued, “For 2018, our mission remains the same; to achieve meaningful topline growth while building the total value of the Company.” The Company reiterated that driving growth and increasing top-line revenues are critical goals and the Company’s core focus in 2018 while starting in the fourth quarter, cash-flow and profitability will become critical as DPW lays the foundation for fiscal year 2019.
The Company stated it is adhering to its 2018 revenue guidance that was previously issued estimating that gross revenues on a consolidated basis will range from $44,000,000 (USD) to $49,000.000 (USD) based on the assumption the acquisition of Enertec is completed in the second quarter of 2018 and that the market price for Bitcoin will stabilize between $6,500 - $8,500.
