Based on purchase orders already received for delivery in the next few months we expect a little over $1.0 million in revenue for Green Market Europe S. A. during our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. Green Market Europe S. A. is the target company as stated in our press release announcing the signed Letter of Intent. It is anticipated that the Acquisition Contract will be signed in November 2017 after our Auditor has completed the audit.

Freedom Leaf and Green Market Europe signed a letter of intent for Freedom Leaf to acquire 100% of GME's IP, projects and assets. The acquisition is expected to close within the next 30 days. Freedom Leaf has agreed to expand two additional growing operations internationally before the end of 2019 to maximize skills and potential of staff.

"This operation will make an interesting addition to our business model, through the Intellectual Property generated, as well as products and services offered to International market increasing our network of clients," noted Clifford J Perry, Co-founder and CEO of Freedom Leaf Inc.

Luis Miguel Santos, Founder of GME comments, "We are thrilled to be a part of the Freedom Leaf group and expect to benefit from our mutual collaboration in the near term and into the future. We are confident Green Market Europe is already the most technically advanced hemp producer in Spain, but being a part of Freedom Leaf will help us become a company with global reach, expand operations overseas and maximize our know how and expertise required in this very versatile plant."

GME facilities include a 21,000-sq. ft. light deprivation greenhouse that allows increasing the number of crops per year, a 43,000-sq. ft. greenhouse and indoor growing facility for Genetic research. GME is strategically located in Elche, Alicante, an important Spanish business hub, with great year-round weather conditions for agricultural growing and it is also a traditional Hemp growing region.

Notice on filing Annual Report (10K)

The Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report") of Freedom Leaf Inc. (OTCQB: FRLF) (the "Company") is being filed pursuant to the Order under Section 15B, Section 17A and Section 36 of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder (the "Order"), dated September 28, 2017, of the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at https://www.sec.gov/rules/other/2017/34-81760.pdf), which extends the Company's deadline to file this Annual Report. Pursuant to the Order, for companies affected by Hurricane Irma, all reports, schedules or forms must be filed on or before October 19, 2017.

The Company's independent certifying accountant's office is located in Tampa, Florida, and as a result of Hurricane Irma and its aftermath, was closed for about a week because it lost power and Internet access, which closure delayed the completion of the audit of the Company's financial statements. As a result, the Company was not able to file this Annual Report by October 13, 2017, and the Company is therefore relying on the SEC Order.
