Backed by Award-Winning Producers, Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX.V: WNDR) (OTCQB: WDRFF) Providing In-Demand Entertainment

  • Soaring content demand from streaming providers is fueling global media and entertainment market that is expected to grow to $2.4 trillion in 2022
  • Wonderfilm produces high-quality feature films and episodic television that offer international appeal
  • Wonderfilm Media is led by CEO Kirk Shaw, producer of 240 movies including Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, starring Jeremy Renner
  • Company partner Shaun Redick, Oscar-winning producer of Get Out ($255M gross revenue) and BlacKkKlansman ($100M gross revenue), leads Wonderfilm’s Executive Production Team

Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX.V: WNDR) (OTCQB: WDRFF), a producer of high-quality feature films and episodic television with international appeal, is working with some of Hollywood’s best talent to create unforgettable entertainment while providing a solid future value for its shareholders. Backed by an award-winning creative team, with more than $1 billion in hit movie revenues to their collective credit, Wonderfilm has developed a business model that generates a return to the company as soon as the cameras start rolling.

Wonderfilm CEO Kirk Shaw shares details of the company’s winning business strategy in an exclusive interview with NetworkNewsWire, which can be heard here: (http://ibn.fm/U3UjK). Shaw is a veteran producer of 240 movies airing on television and the big screen, including the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, starring Jeremy Renner. Among the interview highlights is an overview of Wonderfilm’s operational achievements, such as the launch of Wonderfilm Global – an international film and television sales and distribution joint venture expected to generate significant incremental revenue.

Shaun Redick, who is one of Hollywood’s most successful feature film producers, is on board as a Wonderfilm company partner. Redick and his wife, Yvette Yates, produced two of the most successful and profitable films of 2017 and 2018 – Get Out, with $255 million in gross revenues, and BlacKkKlansman, which grossed $100 million. Both films won Oscars, adding to Redick’s legacy of 175 award wins, 355 nominations and 10 Oscar nominations.

Redick’s ability to constantly identify shifting trends in the content creation and distribution side of the industry provides Wonderfilm with the exciting potential to deliver breakout films and new revenue streams. Redick and Yates are scheduled to produce two to three films per year for Wonderfilm, with the first release slated for October 2020. The pair are also committed to the 4% challenge to give more women and women of color the opportunity to direct.

Soaring demand for content from streaming providers is fueling industry growth. The global media and entertainment market is expected to grow from $1.9 trillion in 2017 to $2.4 trillion in 2022, at a five-year CAGR of 4.4%. Wonderfilm currently has 17 films greenlit with combined budgets totaling $58 million.

Wonderfilm’s most recent theatrical release, slated to premiere December 6 in U.S. theaters, is Beyond the Law, starring Steven Seagal (Under Siege), DMX (Romero Must Die) and Johnny Messner (Silencer, Weaponized) (http://ibn.fm/Nfit5).

Beyond the Law is the fourth North American Wonderfilm theatrical release of 2019. It’s a big milestone for us, but next year we expect to double the number of movies released in theaters,” Shaw stated in a news release. “Professionally, Beyond the Law was exciting since we were finally able to reunite Steven Seagal with DMX in a great action thriller.”

Wonderfilm is also sending a “cease and desist” letter to Archer Entertainment Media Communications, Inc. (“Archer”) after becoming aware of a publication that falsely states that Wonderfilm is in talks to form an alliance with Archer. This is not true and Wonderfilm disclaims any talks or relationship with Archer (http://ibn.fm/oTeV4).

Wonderfilm has developed a low-risk approach to content creation by focusing on producing quality entertainment with top Hollywood talent, working within relatively low budgets, and utilizing a business model that pre-sells the film before shooting starts. Not only does this secure much of the finance needed to make a film happen, it also ensures that the project will reach its audience. That allows the company to confidently produce films on a fast, steady production schedule (http://ibn.fm/X2K4D).

The company’s film library grows with each new production, adding to future sales revenue. Depending on the agreement, exploitation rights for future worldwide sales return to Wonderfilm four or seven years after delivery. As of October 2019, Wonderfilm’s growing film library comprises 18 titles for future exploitation.

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) Creating Quality Transformative Brands, Eyeing International Growth

  • Supreme follows three-pronged strategy to produce high-quality cannabis and achieve deliberate growth
  • Supreme Cannabis nears completion of construction on focused operating assets
  • As production numbers and product lines grow, SPRWF continues international expansion

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1), a global diversified portfolio of cannabis companies, is committed to using its knowledge of the cannabis plant to create transformative brands that deliver positive experiences. As a result, the company has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing, premium-plant-driven lifestyle companies by effectively deploying capital to build a diversified portfolio of successful cannabis brands.

At the core of Supreme Cannabis Company’s success is a layered three-pronged strategy that has carefully guided the company through the often tumultuous waters of the cannabis industry (http://ibn.fm/z18ea). First, establish foundational IP and strong core businesses. Second, create differentiated, consumer-driven products across market segments, and third, expand its consumer-centric approach to international markets.

Following the first component of its plan has allowed Supreme to build a strong foundation as it moves forward in a burgeoning industry. Supreme’s impressive leadership team recognizes the strong potential in Canada’s promising market. The number of new cannabis users in the country has doubled year over year, and by 2023, the legal Canadian cannabis market is forecast to reach $6.7 billion.

Through focus groups conducted across Canada, Supreme has identified a core target audience of avid cannabis users. Aged between 20 and 30 years old, this group spends $120 a week and identifies quality cannabis based on visual inspection and scent. Supreme is dedicated to producing the high-quality product this growing audience — and discerning cannabis users of all ages around the world — are looking for.

Currently the company operates a 440,000-square-foot indoor, hybrid facility, with 25 identical 10,000-square-foot cultivation rooms. With its motto in mind— we simply grow better ­— SPRWF follows a proprietary whole-plant dry and hand-trim finish process that produces the best cannabis possible. Along with its exclusive process, Supreme has established a strong reputation for producing high-quality products through its consumer-facing Canadian brands, which include:

  • 7ACRES, an award-winning dried flower brand serving discerning consumers across Canada
  • Blissco Cannabis Corp, a wellness cannabis brand delivering CBD wellness oils to Canadian consumers
  • Khalifa Kush Enterprises Canada, a premium cannabis brand currently producing THC Oil for the Canadian recreational market

As Supreme Cannabis expands its brand portfolio, the Company is increasing its capacity across its operating assets. The 7ACRES facility is expanding its cultivation and processing with the goal of completing all construction by January 2020. At full production capacity, the company can harvest its high-quality cannabis every four days, with an annual run rate of 50,000 kg. As 7ACRES increases its capacity, it ramps up its packaging capabilities, with plants to install two additional automated flinging and packaging lines in the coming months.

The company also recently completed construction on its Blissco extraction facility, adding ethanol extraction capabilities on top of existing CO2 extraction. With construction completed on the ethanol extraction lab, Supreme Cannabis expects that the Blissco facility will have the capacity to produce over seven million tincture bottles annually

Although the company is Canadian born, Supreme Cannabis is globally focused. As production numbers increase and product lines grow, SPRWF is looking forward to international expansion. Its Medigrow Lesotho subsidiary, located in Southern Africa, is only the beginning of that global vision. Investment platform Supreme Heights is focused on maximizing opportunities in the United Kingdom and Europe’s CBD health and wellness markets. The company is already gaining deep consumer insights through its Netherlands based brand, Truverra. Truverra is a medicinal cannabis company producing CBD oils that are sold direct to consumers in the United Kingdom.

While others set their sights on growing the most product, Supreme’s strategic growth is firmly rooted in craftsmanship. Producing the best cannabis possible remains the company’s obsession and commitment. As the company expands to international market, it maintains its focused and disciplined approach.

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) Again Expands Management Team, Advisory Board to Lead Key Hemp Cultivation Business Strategies

  • New Senior VP of Business Development owned and ran massive North American greenhouse operations of approximately 20 million square feet with annual turnover of over $300 million
  • New Senior VP of Corporate Development specializing in effecting private and public mergers and acquisitions and financings as well as Independent Director with experience in finance and banking
  • Green Hygienics Holdings owns largest indoor and outdoor hemp cultivation spaces in North America after acquiring Potrero Ranch

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN), an innovative, full-scope, premium hemp cultivation and branding enterprise targeting the high-end medical and adult-use recreational market, appointed four professional managers to its board in line with the company’s efforts to advance its leadership on the exponentially growing industrial hemp market (http://ibn.fm/rX4Fg).

Jerry Halamuda, who was appointed new Senior VP of Business Development, Agriculture Division, brings a wealth of management and industry experience, in particular solid expertise at scaling businesses. Halamuda has founded, operated, and managed a large number of prominent and highly successful companies, most notably Color Spot Nurseries, which he founded and served as CEO, president, and COO for almost four decades. Color Spot operated more than 6,000 acres nationwide and its annual turnover exceeded $300 million.

New Senior VP of Corporate Development John Gildea has more than 20 years of experience in the public and private markets, including in negotiating, structuring, and effecting private and public mergers and acquisitions and financings and public and investor relations. His efforts have resulted in a large number of uplistings to higher exchanges and capital raises over the years.

William Creekmur, Independent Director, brings more than two decades of experience in investment and wealth management to Green Hygienics Holdings. He served as vice president and wealth management advisor at Mutual of Omaha Bank, vice president and senior wealth advisor at the Comercia Bank in Greater San Diego, and vice president and financial consultant at Charles Schwab and Co. Inc.

Finally, new advisory board member Edwin Stoughton a long-time principal in Demcon Concrete has four decades of experience in sales, marketing, development, consulting, and construction management. Throughout his career, has built highly successful construction and development companies, and acquired significant direct experience in consensus management, team building and constructive conflict resolution.

According to Green Hygienics Holdings CEO Ron Loudoun, each of the four professionals joining the team adds considerable value to the company’s growth strategy. “The industrial hemp industry is paced for revolutionary progress, and I am pleased to welcome these gentlemen as we compete in this incredible market,” he said.

A Research and Markets report indicates that the global industrial hemp market is projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2019 to $26.6 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 34 percent. The increase will be mainly driven by factors such as widespread legalization of industrial hemp cultivation and the growing use of hemp seed and hemp seed oil in different food and medical applications.

Green Hygienics is positioned as a leader on the global hemp market as it owns the biggest indoor and outdoor cultivation facility in North America at the moment. The company recently completed the acquisition of the 824-acre Potrero Ranch with approximately 400,000 square foot land that will be used for greenhouse cultivation (http://ibn.fm/TBlHk). In comparison, the average-size hemp farm in North America is around nine acres.

Pros of indoor hemp flowers are that they are more resinous with denser buds and smell and taste better. On the other hand, outdoor hemp is grown under the sun, due to which it has better market value and a higher CBD content. It is also highly sustainable as its carbon footprint is less (http://ibn.fm/HrmVR). Green Hygienics offers the best of both outdoor and indoor. Due to its size, it has a secure and safe product source that no other company can currently offer.

With more than 25 years of experience in agricultural science and innovation, Green Hygienics is establishing itself as a leader in the advancement of science-driven hemp cultivation systems. The company will grow by generating revenues from the sales of premium grade hemp products, developing and licensing valuable IP, making strategic acquisitions, and creating trusted global consumer brands.

  • Canada’s cannabis industry will total $3.7 billion by the end of 2020
  • U.S. sales of hemp-based CBD products set to grow at a CAGR of 147 percent, reaching $22 billion by 2022

HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC), a hemp-biomass extraction and formulation company, is well positioned to profit from the fast-growing hemp and CBD, CBG and CBN market, in light of recently announced strategic initiatives ranging from new tolling contracts to the completion of two facilities and the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement with Starling Brands Inc., acquiring Kase Farma Inc., in Ceres, California , a hemp-based extraction, formulation and refining operation.

Kase Farma is authorized to operate in the areas of hemp extraction, refining, formulation and distribution of CBD, CBG and CBN in the State of California. Kase Farma, will receive and commission equipment that is able to process and distill 12,000 lbs. per day of dried biomass at its “IPElite Extraction” operation in California. Kase Farma’s “IPElite Extraction” operations are part of the vendor-owned 22,000 square foot overall facility and will process 12,000 lbs. per day of dried biomass; which at an 8% CBD yield will have the capability of producing, 435,000 grams daily of CBD, delivering highest quality, saleable CBD to the wholesale market with gross revenue potential of approximately $1.4 million USD per day.

In October 2019, the company closed a bought deal private placement with gross proceeds of $10 million to finance 25 million units of the company (http://ibn.fm/fFxwu). According to the company, most of the funds are to be used for the purchase of extraction, purification and refining equipment, and for general working capital purposes.

HTC is currently in late-stage negotiations with a 60,000-acre recognized Canadian farm leader who is a major IPGrow™ hemp biomass producer. HTC intends to enter into a tolling contract with the producer for the 2019, 2020, 2021 and beyond production crop years. The contract is anticipated to represent production from a single producer/biomass processor of approximately 4,300 acres from the 2019 crops, up to 25,000 acres for the 2020 and 2021 and beyond production crop years.

The company has also completed a 19,000-square-foot facility that will house extraction and formulation processing, quality assurance testing, and product development laboratories at its Port Lajord location 17 miles southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan. The facility is going to be on par with the highest performance and quality standards for extraction and refining worldwide. The extraction equipment is scheduled to begin arriving in December 2019, with installation to follow.

HTC Extraction Systems has a highly optimistic outlook when it comes to the CBD, CBG and CBN cannabinoid extraction and formulation market expansion. The company reports major investments in the purchase of extraction, purification, and refining equipment.

These developments, paired with the company’s proprietary hemp biomass extraction technology that reduces operating costs while delivering superior results, will enable HTC Extraction Systems to profit from the buoyant Canadian cannabis industry, which will reach $3.7 billion by the end of 2020, more than double the $1.6 billion in 2019. CBD derivatives such as CBD-infused topicals, edibles, and vapes are expected to generate $900 million next year, largely due to new regulations allowing sales of the increasingly popular products (http://ibn.fm/sCHP2).

U.S. sales of hemp-based CBD products are projected to reach $22 billion by 2022, up from $591 million in 2018. This is equivalent to a CAGR of 147 percent according to Brightfield Group research (http://ibn.fm/VB68K).

HTC Extraction Systems is a hemp biomass extraction and formulation company and a developer of patented proprietary technologies designed for the extraction of biomass, gas and liquids, as well as the distillation and purification of ethanol and ethanol-based solvents used in extraction. Engineered to large-scale, HTC’s extraction and purification systems reduce operating costs and capital expenditures while simultaneously delivering superior performance through lowered energy usage and emissions, as well as improved quality of the final product.

No Borders Naturals: The Only CBD Brand in the USA with Lab Tests on Blockchain

The American CBD industry has seen explosive growth over the past few years. The industry research group Brightfield forecasts more than $23 billion in annual revenue by 2023 (http://ibn.fm/HPBX4). The U.S. is now the world’s leader in hemp cultivation, extraction, and product development.

That means a lot of companies are offering CBD oil, topicals, and edibles. The question consumers have when they search for a reputable supplier is who can they trust to deliver a quality product? In many cases this trust is directly linked to their livelihoods as hardworking Americans who risk failing a workplace drug test or worse, facing prosecution for using a product marketed as “THC Free.”

Taking the Quality Commitment a Step (or Two) Higher

Most companies who sell a product or services proclaim a commitment to quality, but those are pretty meaningless statements. CBD product developers and sellers are no different.

No Borders Naturals was determined to go beyond the usual marketing promises and clearly demonstrate its products’ quality, potency, efficacy and, most importantly, that THC levels fall below the 0.03% limit established by Federal law in the 2018 Farm Bill. The only way to do this is to send each product to reputable, third-party labs, and share test results with whoever is interested.

No Borders Naturals did exactly that, plus a whole lot more.

After sharing the No Borders Naturals premium line of CBD wellness products with tens of thousands of consumers around the USA, the No Borders teams heard time-and-again that Americans want to be sure no one could interfere with lab reports. So CTO Chris Brown worked to create and deploy a transparent, permanent, and unchangeable certification platform designed to record CBD lab test data on blockchain technology. This created www.CBDLabChain.com, the world’s first CBD Lab Test Blockchain Certification.​

Today, consumers can see, for every single No Borders Naturals product, its third-party lab tests results through a blockchain-protected distributed ledger designed, built, and owned by No Borders Labs, a sister company to No Borders Naturals. Both are owned by their parent company, No Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR), a publicly traded strategic investment company based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Third-party testing centers send test results and reports directly to a blockchain that delivers them to a secure network. From there, they can be accessed for viewing via a QR code printed on the label of each product. No one can “modify” or otherwise tamper with them. “Our customers see Lab Test reports that are as unadulterated as our products; they simply cannot be changed. I am proud to bring CBD Lab Chain to market as a real-world deployment of blockchain technology,” Brown says.

No Borders believes blockchain technology should be (and most likely will be) the standard for ensuring product safety and purity claims, particularly with consumables like CBD products.

Putting Blockchain Technology to Work in Industries Other Than Crypto

Blockchains have been primarily used in cryptocurrency and described as a distributed, decentralized public ledger, to borrow Investopedia’s definition. It works by creating blocks that store information about a person or company that can only be identified through a unique code. (That ensures data privacy during transmission to a network.)

Blocks must be verified for accuracy before they are added to a chain that carries their information to a network. Their content is then copied and made available to people with access to that network. Any personally identifiable information remains coded.

Blockchains provide superior security because they are extremely difficult to hack. Every block created is assigned a randomized “hash code” generated by a complicated math problem. Each time a block is edited, it creates a new block and receives a new hash code. The old block with the original information is edited as well and also receives a new hash code. Blocks themselves are never deleted. Any potential hacker quickly finds himself in an infinite chicken and egg problem.

There is no reason this technology can’t be transferred to other settings, says No Borders CEO Joseph Snyder, to provide highly secure transmissions and deliver transparent, unaltered copies about all kinds of products to consumers. American consumers like, No Borders Naturals customers, deserve no less, he says. His company is already walking the walk as the first national CBD line to use blockchain to add a layer of consumer trust.

What About Industry Engagement?

The third-party labs, which No Borders Naturals uses to test product purity, had no problem recognizing the powerful value that the CBDLabChain Certification provides to their other clients, Snyder says. “In fact, many were fascinated by the idea of using blockchain technology to add a revenue line to their existing business models.”

Everyone involved in a supply chain wants their data to arrive unchanged. Blockchain technology can revolutionize those that carry sensitive data, whether it’s about product safety or personal health information (PHI). Anyone who’s worked in a HIPAA setting is well aware that emails can be hacked, faxes can be left out in the open, and so on.

In an era where trust is harder than ever to earn and data protection is on everyone’s mind, it’s time to consider new applications for super-secure technology like blockchain.

  • LiveWire CEO provides progress report for development of first-ever ‘Estate-Grown Weedery’ in California
  • Estrella Weedery will serve as company’s central hub for all Livewire operations

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc.

In its flagship facility in Paso Robles, LiveWire continues to spearhead research, cultivation and commercialization in the cannabis space.

Recently, LiveWire’s CEO Bill Hodson outlined the company’s creative business model in an exclusive interview with NetworkNewsAudio (NNA).

Joined by NNW’s Stuart Smith, Bill Hodson, CEO of LiveWire, explained the reasoning behind LiveWire’s recent acquisition of the scenic 265-acre Estrella Ranch in Paso Robles, California (http://ibn.fm/hXiox). In the interview Mr. Hodson compared the business model for the newly acquired ranch to that of a winery and the buildout of the space as a vertically integrated property that includes a wide variety of cannabis related activities such as cultivation, extraction and testing special events and the development of a high-quality brands and more, all in one location.

More than five years ago, LiveWire began testing the CBD/Cannabis market. Now the company keeps expanding its position in the multibillion-dollar industry and continues to increase its statewide distribution for its subsidiary’s statewide distribution network (http://ibn.fm/STYua) via a permit from the California Bureau for Cannabis Control.

With LiveWire’s purchase of the Estrella Ranch property, the company has taken the next step in establishing itself as one of the leading and legal cannabis firms in the State. The site contains multiple residences along with equestrian facilities, and other structures that will be seamlessly transformed into the world’s first ‘EstateGrown Weedery’. The enormous potential of this exceptional site includes room for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. LVVV is in the advanced stage of forming partnerships with third party operators to begin operation on the Ranch and has made significant progress in the required buildouts. Livewire also plans to eventually transform a portion of the ranch into a cannabis-related wellness and educational retreat.

In the NetworkNewsAudio interview, LiveWire’s CEO explains how the company’s new property has the power, infrastructure, water supply and ideal micro-climate to produce high-end products. The ranch is poised to become LiveWire’s central location, which will eventually house the company’s many operations. By doing their due diligence with legal and environmental research as well as securing all necessary permits, LiveWire team members feel that the wheels are in motion as they continue to take exciting steps forward in the health and wellness industry.

The WaveTech GmbH acquisition marks a new chapter in Spectrum’s remarkable success story (http://ibn.fm/qm0aZ). Since starting operations over three decades ago, the company has successfully executed over 150,000 projects. Spectrum has delivered cost-effective, scalable, robust solutions for communication carriers, utilities, enterprise companies, OEMs and others. As 5G rollout accelerates, the company’s opportunity pipeline has swelled to around $137 million. The WaveTech GmbH add-on is expected to turn many of those opportunities into positive outcomes.

WaveTech GmbH is a global German technology company, currently working with a Fortune 1000 client base, that provides energy management, data analytics and monitoring services extending the useful life of battery systems. The company’s patented Crystal Control Technology (CCT) (registered), the product of over a decade of R&D efforts in Norway and Germany, prevents the buildup of non-soluble lead sulphate crystals in lead-acid batteries. CCT also prevents the degradation of the active materials microstructure, the primary cause of failure for over 80 percent of batteries. The CCT technology is expected to ensure significantly longer lifespans for batteries used in telecommunications networks, data centers and similar applications.

The services offered by WaveTech GmbH complement Spectrum’s core communications network infrastructure and maintenance solutions. The union of the two companies will allow the marketing of WaveTech’s GmbH’s globally patented CCT technology to Spectrum’s existing customer base, thus helping clients reduce the capital expenditures required for power supply systems, as well as improving the reliability of their battery back-up systems. Consequently, the merged entity is expected to benefit from considerable economies of scale.

Spectrum is now operating in Canada. The company has established a subsidiary – ADEX Canada – to address network infrastructure services opportunities with both new and existing tier-1 clients in the Canadian market. ADEX Canada will offer turnkey project staffing solutions that include engineering, furnishing, installation, testing and integration services for wireline, wireless, broadband, VoIP, 4G/5G and public safety communications networks.

Moreover, Spectrum has signed a total of $6.9 million in new contracts, composed of work orders from both new and existing clients. These new contract awards are in addition to any revenue derived from existing master services agreements already in place with tier-1 carriers and infrastructure aggregators. They include a 3-year, nationwide contract renewal with tier-1 U.S. telecommunications company for outside plant labor, construction and maintenance services through the Company’s ADEX subsidiary, as well as a new contract, through the company’s AW Solutions subsidiary, with a tier-1 infrastructure aggregator in support of 5G network deployment in a major U.S. metropolitan area.

SinglePoint Inc. (SING) Reports Record Quarter, Projects Promising Future

  • Company reports revenue growth of 176%, gross profit increase of 30%
  • Acquisition of Direct Solar has exceeded revenue growth targets; subsidiary projected to reach $15 to $25 million in contract origination in 2020
  • Following successful product introduction at NACS 2019, SING launches wholly owned 1606 Original Hemp cigarette

SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), a leading technology and acquisition company, has announced its financial results for third quarter 2019 (http://ibn.fm/pBpnv). Highlights include a revenue increase of 176% over the same period in 2018 and a gross profit increase of 30%. The revenues and gross profit are on an upward swing. This is the first time SING has done over $1 million in a quarter.

CEO Greg Lambrecht announced increased revenues and profits on ‘MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon’ (http://ibn.fm/Xpqzy), noting that SinglePoint’s future looks promising. “Our projection for fourth quarter is closer to $3 million. This isn’t stopping,” stated Lambrecht. “This is going in the right direction, and we couldn’t be happier. Last year in Q3 we did $381,037, which is no small number, but to do a million this quarter of 2019 is just amazing. The revenues I’ve been talking about for the past three to six months are starting to come in.” He went on to share that shareholders are beginning to see profit growth, adding that “the stock will be soon to follow.”

Direct Solar, a leading residential and commercial solar brokerage and SinglePoint’s most recent acquisition, has exceeded revenue growth targets and is a key part of SING’s success. According to Lambrecht, the company’s revenues will continue to grow as Direct Solar continues expansion into new markets. In Q3 Direct Solar (http://ibn.fm/D3icO) achieved in multiple areas:

  • originated $4,965,975 in contracts
  • opened in three new states
  • launched high school partnership programs with 47 Texas high schools
  • signed a memorandum of understanding with SchollyMe, a social-media app with an international footprint, to develop online and mobile solar purchasing ability
  • launched Direct Solar Capital and Direct Solar Commercial

The acquisition has created a solid financial base for SING and is projected to reach $15 to $25 million in contract sales in 2020 (http://ibn.fm/wXDu3).

However, Direct Solar is not the only area where SING is leading the way forward. The company has seen major success selling pre rolled hemp. SinglePoint saw major success at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show in October, shipping multiple orders to both distribution and retail clients. The product’s success at NACS drove the company to create the wholly owned brand 1606 Original Hemp (http://ibn.fm/PV8r0). SING is working to expand the brand quickly through both retail and distribution sites, as well as a new ecommerce site (http://ibn.fm/UJsA9) currently in development. SinglePoint also plans to introduce the innovative hemp cigarette to additional retailers at the MJBIZCON, slated for December 11-13 in Las Vegas.
