(OTCQB: RBIZ), announced today its financial results for its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2016, ended October 31, 2016 and provided guidance for Fiscal 2017.

"We are excited to reach that point in this business transition where we can begin to give investors a glimpse into the future of this ongoing company," said Anshu Bhatnagar, CEO of RealBiz.

We shipped our first container of beef to the United Arab Emirates in February and our goal is to ramp up business steadily throughout the remainder of 2017."
