DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2018 / United Cannabis Corporation (CNAB) (the "Company" or "United Cannabis") today provided an update on its operations.

The Company experienced a 60-day delay in the delivery of industrial hemp processing equipment to its facility in Mead, Colorado, causing a delay in the scheduled expansion of its capacity at that facility as well as related revenue.

Presently, revenues for the 4th Quarter of 2018 are estimated to be approximately $2,000,000 to $2,500,000, as compared to $259,340 of revenues for the same period for 2017; and, revenues for the year are estimated to be approximately $6,500,000 to $7,000,000 for 2018, as compared to revenues of $362,323 for 2017.

The Company also announced that it has achieved the following milestones during the quarter:

  • The academic laboratory of Dr. Brent Reynolds, cofounder of Prana Therapeutics, Inc., the Company's 95% owned subsidiary, has been issued a Schedule 1 drug license from the DEA. This License will allow the laboratory to purchase and study the ability of cannabinoids to treat diseases and dysfunctions in laboratory animals.
  • The first delivery of its patented Prana Hemp products is onsite in Jamaica; distribution throughout the Caribbean will begin this month.

Earnest Blackmon, Chief Executive Officer of United Cannabis, commented on the announcement, "While I am certainly disappointed that we had to postpone the expansion of our hemp operation, 2018 was still a substantial growth year for United Cannabis; revenues are up 2,000 percent over 2017. Looking to 2019, I expect we will see continued growth in our existing business, as well as significant contributions from our hemp facility and Jamaica operation."
