an award of common stock to independent directors Pol Sikar, Renzo Bernardi, Paul Lee, and Jason Scher in the amount of $30,000

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">At the Natural Products Expo West event in March 2018, Lifeway
showcased several new products and <I>The Kefir Cookbook</I> by CEO Julie Smolyansky. The new products included Plantiful, the
first plant-based probiotic beverage made from organic and non-GMO pea protein with 10 vegan kefir cultures; Lifeway Elixir, our
organic, non-dairy, sparkling probiotic tonics available in four flavors; and our Organic Icelandic Skyr, which boasts 14 probiotic
cultures and 18 grams of protein per serving. <I>The Kefir Cookbook</I> is available in stores and major online booksellers now.
Both Lifeway Elixir and Skyr are also available in stores nationwide. Product development for Plantiful remains on track to produce
samples for retail in approximately two months. We expect that retailers&rsquo; responses will give us additional insights as we
prepare to launch the Plantiful line nationwide.</P>

actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include,
