CHICAGO — October 16, 2018 — Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ), a leading provider of blockchain mobile apps and cloud-based business software solutions, has reported its unaudited second quarter results for 2018. The company reported revenue of $386,961 compared with $385,163 for the second quarter of 2017. The company reported an operating income of $35,963. This is a substantial turnaround in the company’s financial position. Additionally, the company’s interest expense has substantially decreased, dropping from $50,973 for the second quarter of 2017 to just $20,062 for the second quarter of 2018.

The company is focusing on acquiring new customers for its cloud business software and developing new blockchain technologies for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, health care providers and legal services. Our blockchain technology will reduce fraud in business transactional contracts. The technology allows for a transactional contract to become a living contract that is tracked and traced; it also verifies that a section of terms within a contract is followed and that all parties of an agreement obey the terms of the contract. The company believes this will become a new source of revenue once it is marketed.

Epazz, Inc.’s CEO, Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “Our valuation in the marketplace is not reflecting our true value. We expected our new versions of our cloud business software and new blockchain products to assist in growing our revenues and increasing our profits.”
