Siddharth Rajeev, B.Tech, MBA, CFA Analyst November 5, 2015 Trxade Group, Inc. (TCQB: TRXD): Record Revenues in Q3 Sector/Industry: E-commerce Market Data (as of November 5, 2015) Current Price $1.15 Fair Value $2.66 Rating* BUY Risk* 4 (Speculative) 52 Week Range $0.50 - $1.85 Shares O/S 31,269,160 Market Cap $35.96 mm Current Yield N/A P/E (forward) N/A P/B 94.6x YoY Return -34.3% YoY TSXV -27.8% *see back of report for rating and risk definitions (All the figures in this report are in US$) Highlights www.trxadegroup.com In Q3-2015 (quarter ended September 30, 2015), Trxade Group, Inc. ( company, TRXD, Trxade ) reported record revenues of $1.64 million, up 40% from Q2 s $1.17 million, and beat our estimate. The company added 675 new independent pharmacies to the Trxade.com platform in Q3. The platform currently has 4,600 pharmacies as members. With approximately 19% of the total independent pharmacies in the U.S. as members, we believe Trxade has a significant first mover advantage. We are raising our 2015 revenue forecast from $4.76 million to $5.22 million. Gross margins dropped in Q3-2015 because of the increase in revenues from the wholesale division, which has lower gross margins. In October 2015, the company announced a $1.50 million financing by issuing convertible promissory notes (term 3 years; conversion price - $2.50 per share). The financing will be completed in three tranches - $0.45 million (completed), $0.55 million (December 2015), and $0.50 million (February 2016). We are maintaining our BUY rating and fair value estimate at $2.66 per share.

Page 2 Q3 Revenues up by 40% QOQ Trxade reported record revenues of $1.64 million in Q3-2015, up from $0.37 million in Q3-2014, reflecting an increase of 339% YOY. Q3-2015 revenues were also up 40% QOQ from Q2 s $1.17 million. Nine month revenues were up by 287% YOY to $3.50 million. The company has not yet started to report segmented revenues, but the company did disclose that revenues from both its Trxade.com platform, and the wholesaling division, increased. The company s platform currently has 4,600 independent pharmacies as members, up from the 4,400 reported at the time of our initiating report on September 24, 2015. In Q3, the company added 675 new pharmacies, up from 620 in Q2. Trxade has already gained a market share of 19%, as there are approximately 24,000 independent pharmacies in the U.S. Management s goal is to reach 5,000 by the year-end, and 7,500 by end of 2016. According to management, of the 4,500 members on the platform, currently about 50% of the members are active buyers. The rest of the members are either new, or under implementation. Currently, the average utilization rate per member is approximately 1%. In Q3-2015, the company generated $1.64 million in revenues. If approximately 75% of the revenues came from transaction fees generated by Trxade.com, we estimate that, in Q3, approximately $20 - $25 million worth of products were purchased through the platform. The table below shows our estimate of the potential revenues based on the number of members and varying utilization rates. Number of Members 2,000 4,000 8,000 16,000 24,000 1% $4,000,000 $8,000,000 $16,000,000 $32,000,000 $48,000,000 3% $12,000,000 $24,000,000 $48,000,000 $96,000,000 $144,000,000 5% $20,000,000 $40,000,000 $80,000,000 $160,000,000 $240,000,000 Utilization Rates 8% $32,000,000 $64,000,000 $128,000,000 $256,000,000 $384,000,000 10% $40,000,000 $80,000,000 $160,000,000 $320,000,000 $480,000,000 15% $60,000,000 $120,000,000 $240,000,000 $480,000,000 $720,000,000 20% $80,000,000 $160,000,000 $320,000,000 $640,000,000 $960,000,000 25% $100,000,000 $200,000,000 $400,000,000 $800,000,000 $1,200,000,000 30% $120,000,000 $240,000,000 $480,000,000 $960,000,000 $1,440,000,000 The following chart shows our revenue estimates. We are raising our 2015 revenue forecast from $4.76 million to $5.06 million, while maintaining our 2016 estimate at $7.20 million.

Page 3 Revenues Margins Drop The following tables show the margins. Gross margins dropped in Q3-2015 (Q2-2015 gross margin was 67%) because of the increase in revenues from the wholesale division, which has lower gross margins. Management indicates that they estimate gross margins of the platform to be approximately 70%, and the wholesale division to be approximately 25%. We are lowering our 2015 gross margin estimate from 69% to 61%. Margins Q3-2014 Q3-2015 2014 (9M) 2015 (9M) Gross 79.30% 57.22% 69.59% 62.50% EBITDA -93.87% -4.67% -109.92% -15.58% Net -94.42% -7.56% -174.10% -17.76% Expenses / Sales Q3-2014 Q3-2015 2014 (9M) 2015 (9M) General and Administrative 173.2% 61.9% 179.5% 78.1% General and Administrative ( G&A ) expenses were up by 57% YOY to $1.01 million in Q3 due to increased staffing. For the nine month period, G&A expenses were up by 68% YOY to $2.73 million. We are raising our G&A expense estimate for 2015 from $3.34 million to $3.77 million. Management estimates G&A expenses to be approximately $3.50 million in the next 12 months. EPS Estimates Trxade reported an operating loss (EBITDA) of $0.08 million in Q3, and $0.55 million in the first nine months of 2015. Net loss was $0.12 million (EPS: -$0.00) in Q3-20215, versus $0.35 million (EPS: -$0.01) in Q3-2014. In the nine month period in 2015, net loss was $0.62 million (EPS: -$0.02) versus $1.57 million (EPS: -$0.05) in the comparable period in 2014. Our net loss forecast for 2015 is $0.79 million (EPS: -$0.02) versus our previous forecast of $0.08 million (EPS: -$0.00). Our forecast for 2016 has been slightly lowered to $0.7 million (EPS: $0.02), from $0.8 million (EPS: $0.03).

Page 4 The following chart shows our projections: The following table shows a summary of the company's cash flows: S ummary of Cash Flows 2014 (9M) 2015 (9M) Cash Flows from Operations (699,330) (785,980) Cash Flows from Investing - - Cash Flows from Financing 885,861 405,000 Net Change 186,531 (380,980) Free Cash Flows (699,330) (785,980) The company reported -$0.79 million in cash flow from operations, with nil CAPEX in the first nine months of 2015. In our discussions, management indicated that they would need to spend approximately $2.5 million in the coming 12 months to build up inventory for its private label products. Convertible Promissory Note Financing At the end of Q3-2015, the company had $0.32 million in cash. Working capital and the current ratio were $0.38 million, and 1.4x, respectively.

One-year promissory notes for $0.25 million issued in May 2015. The note had an original issuance discount of $45k. Subsequent to the quarter end, in October 2015, the company announced a $1.50 million financing by issuing convertible promissory notes (term 3 years; conversion price - $2.50 per share) to a previous investor and a current shareholder. The financing will be completed in three tranches - $0.45 million (completed), $0.55 million (December 2015), and $0.50 million (February 2016). Interest payments on the notes (payable quarterly) are based on a percentage of net profit (7.5% to 25%) from the wholesale division s private label sales. This implies, if the private label business generates $1 million in revenues and a net profit of $0.25 million, a 25% share implies $62.5k. In order to sweeten the deal, the company also granted 150,000 share purchase warrants (exercise price - $0.01; term 5 years) for the first tranche investors. In total, Trxade will issue up to 500,000 share purchase warrants for the entire financing, all of which will have an exercise price of $0.01. Stock options and warrants: At the end of Q3, the company had 1 million stock options (weighted average exercise price of $1.16), and 0.69 million warrants (weighted average exercise price of $0.75) outstanding. Valuation First mover advantage, and the ability to gain traction, and grow the membership base, we believe, will be the key success drivers. With 19% of the market as members, we believe Trxade has a significant first mover advantage. Our forecasts for 2016, and beyond, only accounts for potential revenues from the Trxade platform, as it is too early at this point to quantify the upside potential of the company s wholesale business and other initiatives. The following table shows our assumptions.

Risks The following risks, though not exhaustive, may cause our estimates to differ from actual results: The liquidity of TRXD s shares is low as 85% of the outstanding shares are held by management. The company has yet to achieve profitability. Long-term success depends on the ability to attract members and increase utilization rates. Regulatory risks are high in the pharmaceutical space. The sector is relatively competitive with quite a few direct competitors. However, Trxade clearly seems to have a first mover advantage. Only 50% of the board members are independent. Future equity financings may dilute current shareholders. Too early to determine the success of the company s efforts to sell private label products. Interest rate risk associated with debt. We assign a risk rating of 4 (Speculative).
