A Communication from our CEO
On behalf of our entire team and the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to take a few moments of your time to review 2018 accomplishments as well as our 2019 trajectory. Since our founding we have made significant progress, and the tremendous acceleration of the rate of accomplishments and exciting developments I noted in my October 2018 letter has positively impacted our Q4 2018 results, and the momentum is continuing into 2019.
Significant Accomplishments of 2018
After joining the company mid-2018 and getting a solid Leadership Team in place, our trajectory and rate of accomplishments have significantly accelerated. In the last half of 2018, we were proud to have accomplished the following:

As can be seen, we are making rapid progress towards our stated goal of becoming a leading supplier of Edge Computing, Machine Learning, and Algorithmic Insights.
Sharpening the 2019 Focus
In addition to the work we continue to do for structural health monitoring and industrial applications, we are committed to expanding our offerings and customer base in Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma. Our goal is to help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies' operations leaders realize the next wave of productivity & quality assurance gains for their organizations, and become Industry 4.0 compliant. IIOT-OXYS, Inc. edge computing open-source hardware and proprietary ML algorithms employ our Minimally-Invasive Load Monitoring (MILM) technology to simply gather data and gain insights to monitor, scope, move from preventive to predictive maintenance, and even optimize development and manufacturing processes. IIOT-OXYS, Inc. has a unique value proposition in a fast growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and has positioned itself with strategic partners for accelerated growth. Again, it is useful to review our strengths in these specific market segments:
- Our leadership team has significant depth and breadth in these markets spanning decades;
- Our Cambridge, MA location affords us access to virtually every major multinational firm in these markets with a low cost of sales (in our “backyard”)
- We have already proven our ability to add value by signing agreements with major firms in this space, with the next three expected soon, and targeting our first ten by the end of 2019
Therefore, we have begun our next great phase of growth as a company to serve these needs at the intersection of AI, Machine Learning, and Healthcare Operations and Production.
Gaining Momentum on the Financial Front
I am pleased to announce we expect 2018 revenues will represent a 3.5 times increase over 2017. This is due to our new Leadership Team focusing on delivery, results, and gaining momentum. We expect the first half of 2019 to be better in terms of revenue growth than the last half of 2018, and significant new contract wins are expected in 2019 within our target market segments of Biotech, Pharma, and Medtech. We continue to expand our efforts in Industrial and structural health monitoring applications as well, thereby providing a diverse and well-balanced customer base but with significant focus areas as well. Overall, we expect 2019 year on year revenue to increase by a greater factor than 2018 year on year revenue, and we are committed to continuing this geometric progression of revenue growth into the future as we rapidly expand.
We are also pleased to announce that we have secured an interim funding in the amount of $55,000 from me and two other founders, through Cambridge MedSpace LLC, a medical industry focused incubator located in Cambridge MA with deep connections to the Biotech, Pharma, and Medtech markets and investor networks. We will continue fundraising activities in 2019 that will enable additional technical and sales staff for expanded revenue growth and to increase our customer base.
Towards a Successful 2019 and Beyond
We are poised for strong growth and performance in 2019. We are setting our sights on adding our next three customers, on our way to our first 10 Biotech, Pharma & MedTech customers by year end, accelerating our business development efforts, starting and sustaining operations in Asia, and of course additional future fund raising activities to fuel and propel this significant growth. We are taking an aggressive approach of nurturing strong organic growth, identifying opportunities for growth through acquisition, and other joint ventures or mergers that could make sense for our business and the value to our shareholders. In closing I would like to thank our investors, customers, and employees for continuing to believe in this vision. We are committed to this course of strong focus on execution, delivery, and growth.
Sincerely,
Cliff Emmons, CEO
