CEO Patrick White: "First of all, 3 board members have resigned from the board.  We wanted to thank them for their support and wish them the best in their future endeavors.  The board is actively seeking new members with a variety of skills including skills in the brand protection industry.  I also wanted to highlight some important 2019 milestones, achievements and objectives which are important to the success of our company and more importantly to keep our shareholders informed as to our progress.  It's important to understand that one year ago we were a "start-up" company that had an important raw technology.  2018 was mainly a year of developing software and hardware to turn our raw technology into a marketable product.  Today (2019) I am proud to say VerifyMe now has a cutting edge, disruptive technology product that meets the vital security and product life-cycle tracking needs of brand owners." 

Please note:  For security and contractual reasons, we are unable to disclose the names of our clients. 

Here are some of our achievements and on-going projects:

1. HP Indigo informed us they are expanding our RainbowSecure™ invisible codes to their largest series of digital presses.  Previously the technology was only made for the Series 6 HP Indigo Presses, HP informed us they will be expanding the use of RainbowSecure™ creating canisters for their largest and fastest line of presses which are the Series 4.
2. HP is installing our VerifyMe RainbowSecure™ invisible technology into all 4 of HP Indigo's Experience   centers, including, Alpharetta, Ga, Singapore, Indonesia, Barcelona, Spain and Tel Aviv, Israel.  HP clients and brand owners from all over the world will be able to see our technology on HP Indigo presses and use our authentication devices to demonstrate our technology attributes.
3. HP has provided significant client leads to VerifyMe in China, Japan, Australia, Africa and Europe.
4. VerifyMe was approached by one of the world's largest ecommerce retailers for a demo.  The meeting took place in January 2019 at the e-commerce companies' headquarters. Early stage synergistic cross selling opportunities were discussed along with combining our collective technologies.  
5. VerifyMe has a working relationship with a very large Ink Jet manufacturer to enable high speed Flexo Presses to print variable invisible RainbowSecure™ codes.  This opens a whole new market beyond HP digital presses for our RainbowSecure™ technology.
6. VerifyMe is in final testing with one of the world's largest consumer health products companies. The first test run was completed in late December and is now being reviewed by the brand owner for deployment in the marketplace.  Successful test results were communicated to us in February.  Brand owner has ordered two additional product tests.  Decision to go live is expected in Q2 2019. 
7. VerifyMe has ordered the manufacturing of its new Smart Phone devices which read the invisible RainbowSecure™ codes into the cloud and are recorded in our serialization, track and trace software platform called, "VeriPAS".  These devices are expected to be leased to brand owners and investigators. The first finished units will be received in March. Additional add on orders will follow if demand exists as expected.  Leasing is a recurring income business model which will build and enhance our gross margins.       
8. In November 2018 the FDA has officially mandated serialization, track and trace for all Pharmaceutical packaging and labeling.  This is a opportunity for VerifyMe's "VeriPAS" cloud-based track and trace software. We have developed several strategies for this segment with our partners.  We will share news on this opportunity as it develops.
9. Our global sales, marketing and support partner, S-One LP has set up multiple presentations with key regional label and packaging suppliers as well as well-known fortune 500 brand owners.  We anticipate their efforts will grow throughout 2019.
10. One of the top 10 global consumer product companies began printing RainbowSecure™ product labels in July 2018.  This brand owner's use is expanding as we were recently informed that over 2 million product labels were printed in December 2018 and another 2.5 million product labels in January 2019. In addition, we are establishing a meeting with the consumer product company at their North American headquarters   to discuss the new leased Smart Phone devices and expansion of the RainbowSecure™ technology to other products and SKUs.
11. We recently performed a successful test in the HP Barcelona, Spain Experience Center for a European Label Printer who is has a large consumer product brand owner client who is seeking our complete RainbowSecure™/VeriPAS Serialization, track and trace solution.  We expect this to turn into a supplier agreement in Q2.
12. We are partnering with a security HP Inkjet converter to create a Desktop version of our RainbowSecure™ technology.

White continued, "2019 looks to be an exciting year for VerifyMe's technologies.  We are significantly expanding our distribution channels and our sales and marketing outreach is globalizing.  It's also important to note that we are also researching and analyzing some impactful business strategic alternatives which will add to shareholder value. Thank you for your continued support.  I look forward to informing you on key events as they transpire."
