The Company also announced that, based upon information currently available to management, it anticipates reporting revenue of between $22.5 million and $23 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to approximately $14.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Cash on hand on March 31, 2018 was in excess of $320 million.

The average selling price per gram sold was up sequentially over the quarter ended December 31, 2017 based on the Company's mix of products, including oil‐based Softgel capsules and medical cannabis sold in Germany, which has a higher selling price, by the Company's wholly‐owned subsidiary Spektrum Cannabis GmbH. The number of registered patients with Canopy Growth has grown from approximately 55,000 on March 31, 2017 to over 74,000 on March 31, 2018 and is currently over 80,000 registered patients. In connection with the settlement agreement with Bedrocan International BV, the Company expects to impair non-cash intangible product rights related to the 2015 acquisition of Bedrocan Canada Inc. in the amount of approximately $28 million.
