Alex Cunningham, Cardiff Lexington CEO, stated, "Results from our most recent third quarter reflect the culmination of efforts over the past several years to successfully position the Company within a growing healthcare sector, implement efficiencies, and streamline operations. We have taken the actions necessary to achieve and report sustainable, profitable results over consecutive quarters. Net income has reached $2.8 million thus far in 2023 which represents significant, quantifiable advancement for the Company. We expect this number to continue to grow moving forward as we begin to see the impact of the additional working capital being deployed from our new revolving financing.

Mr. Cunningham continued, "In conjunction with our significantly improving results from operations, we continue to prepare for a targeted early 2024 uplisting to a major exchange. To that end have filed with FINRA for the required share consolidation and also anticipate updating and amending our S1 registration filing to include 2023 Q3 results. In conjunction with this uplisting, it is also our intention to simplify our capital structure to best support our long term growth for shareholders."
