• Green Hygienics completes acquisition of the 824-acre Potrero Ranch property which includes 400,000 square feet of greenhouse space near San Diego, California, allowing for multiple industrial hemp harvests
• Green Hygienics farming methodology addresses the challenge of scalability. The Company’s cultivation capability far exceeds that of the average-size hemp farm in North America, which stalls at around nine acres
• The company’s pending acquisition, a head office and warehouse property, will serve as its head office for corporate administration and potentially manufacturing; supporting cultivation and processing will take place at the Potrero Ranch strategically located just 45 minutes away

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN), a full-scope, premium hemp cultivation and branding enterprise focused on the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp for the purpose of extracting cannabidiol (CBD), is well-positioned to take advantage of this booming sector of the economy. Fresh off a news release detailing the company’s acquisition of the 824-acre Potrero Ranch Property (http://ibn.fm/xvjDO), GRYN announced it has opened escrow for the acquisition of its head office and warehouse building in the prestigious Poway Business Park, both located near San Diego, California.

Green Hygienics’ holds a major competitive advantage over industry peers in cultivating premium products through its scientific methodology combined with sustainable farm practices. Producing higher yields on a consistent basis, while remaining compliant through diligent testing, is the hallmark of Green Hygienics’ business model.

Hemp cultivation dramatically increased once federal restrictions on hemp farming were lifted through passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, according to advocacy group Vote Hemp in its 2019 U.S. Hemp License Report (http://ibn.fm/d98EB). Finding success with this versatile crop, however, has been elusive for some farmers, the report states, with up to a 60 percent failure rate of harvests. Currently, the average-size hemp farm in North America is nine acres, which means every inch of that land must be productive in order for farmers to reap a profit.

With 25 years of experience in agricultural science and innovation, Green Hygienics has solved the challenge of scalability through its farming methodology. In today’s market, inefficient companies and those that produce an inferior product will become vulnerable or disappear, adding considerable value to companies like Green Hygienics that efficiently innovate and operate. Securing the 824-acre Potrero Ranch property, which includes abundant water and over 400,000 square feet of outbuildings, will allow GRYN to achieve multiple harvests of high-quality industrial hemp and accelerate its market position.

“We have been working at the property under a lease agreement for the last three months purchasing equipment and preparing to begin cultivation immediately,” Loudoun stated in a news release. “The combination of the greenhouse space and acreage will create the capability to produce significant revenues for Green Hygienics.”

By controlling its own supply chain, Green Hygienics can also leverage strategic advantages in the marketplace, such as the ability to deliver a “best in class” product on a consistent basis. The company strives to constantly develop innovations in industrial hemp for CBD cultivation and to create solutions that lower costs, deliver higher yields and address the challenges of large-scale production.

• New subsidiary inks contracts totaling millions for record 60-day performance
• Direct Solar adds alternative-energy financing solution to reach wider markets
• Company joins forces with country’s second-fastest real-estate brokerage

A diversified holding company, SinglePoint Inc.’s (OTCQB: SING) largest acquisition to date has definitely paid off. Acquired by SING in May, Direct Solar posted record sales in its first 60 days with the company, added a new division to reach untapped markets, and signed a partnership with one of the fastest-growing real-estate brokerages in the nation. Based on the subsidiary’s performance thus far, SinglePoint is forecasting record sales for this year, with even higher numbers projected for 2020.

During its first 30 days with SING, Direct Solar brought in $1.7 million in contracts and then repeated the performance during the next 30 days for a total of more than $3.4 million in signed contracts (http://ibn.fm/9AuCZ) in a two-month period. Those contracts have since moved into planning and installation phases, with the bulk of the revenue recognized upon contract completion, slated for third and fourth quarters in most cases. The company anticipates Direct Solar’s sales numbers to continue along the same trajectory, reaching a projected $5 million in contract sales by the end of 2019.

The subsidiary hit other milestones this year as well. Within weeks of joining SinglePoint, Direct Solar added an alternative-energy financing solution – Direct Solar Capital – in an effort to expand its reach and offer services to wider markets. Direct Solar originally only serviced resident contracts, but its addition of Direct Solar Capital allowed the company to serve medium commercial enterprises (http://ibn.fm/K7uC1). Businesses that have an alternative-energy project ready to go now have access to anywhere from $50,000 to $3 million in funding.

In addition, Direct Solar joined forces with My Home Group, the fastest-growing real estate brokers in Arizona and the second-fastest brokerage in the country. The new partnership allows My Home Group’s nationwide network of more than 2,300 agents to provide alternative-energy options for homeowners who want to reduce their reliance on the grid, lower their utility bills or utilize cleaner, alternative-fuel systems.

The success of Direct Solar is creating a solid financial base for SING as it continues to expand and seek out additional acquisitions. “The traction we have experienced so far has been amazing,” Direct Solar Founder Pablo Diaz said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/qeKue). “We are thrilled for the achievements we have accomplished and are looking forward to continually improving. We are now exploring ways to generate additional sales through innovative marketing strategies. I’m confident we will hit $15 million in 2020.”

SinglePoint acquires small to mid-sized businesses. The company’s focus is on new technologies. Investments in renewable energy, legal ancillary cannabis, and hemp are only a few examples of the multiple industries and verticals included in SinglePoint’s diversified portfolio. By investing in undervalued subsidiaries, the company has grown from a full-service mobile technology provider to a recognizable brand with multiple revenue streams.

(OTCQB: SGSI) that are involved in 5G development. Spectrum is a leading provider of comprehensive outsourced services and solutions for the deployment and maintenance of next-generation and legacy wireless and wireline telecommunication networks and infrastructure.

“Infrastructure REITs play an integral role in shaping our communities by providing the backbone for new technology to take hold and connect us in ways barely imagined just a few years ago,” reports a recent NAREIT article (http://ibn.fm/BO5aH). “Like the rest of the REIT industry, infrastructure REITs encompass a range of specialties, but the primary purpose of those supporting the digital economy lie in cell towers, small cell technology, fiber connectivity and data center platforms. By developing essential infrastructure, these REITs are helping to provide benefits as diverse as improved digital literacy in remote areas, access to telehealth and other online health services, and remote energy usage monitoring — to highlight just a few examples.”

Spectrum will be an eager partner as infrastructure REITs work to build digitally connected communities. The company provides end-to-end, next-generation wireless and wireline network infrastructure services and staffing solutions to service-provider (carrier) and corporate-enterprise markets across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Caribbean. The company offers these vital services through the following subsidiaries:

Spectrum Global Solutions has completed more than 150,000 project activities on wireless, DAS, wireline and fiber networks across the United States utilizing licensed professional engineers, project managers, technicians and general contractors.

The arrival of 5G network systems is expected to immediately improve the performance of current wireless services by providing higher access speeds, lower latency (less delay in processing data messages) and more system capacity. In addition, a recent Accenture report projected 5G wireless technology will also provide significant economic and community benefits, including the anticipated creation of three million new jobs and a $500 billion boost to annual GDP (http://ibn.fm/2rSys). Spectrum looks forward to being an integral part of this next-generation technology boon.

• In MoneyTV interview, CEO Warren Wang notes company’s focus on increasing core investor relations and public relations businesses
• Investor relations, public relations segment a significant revenue driver for CIIX
• CIIX 10-K SEC filing reports revenue surge for the three months ended August 31

ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), a provider of financial information and services to a global Chinese speaking community, has made a concerted effort to expand its core investor relations (IR) and public relations (PR) service offerings while also constructing a presence in the expanding CBD industry. CEO Warren Wang told MoneyTV host Donald Baillargeon that the company’s core business of investor relations and public relations has attracted more than 100 clients over the past six years. Additionally, in a separate filing, CIIX noted its focus on attracting new IR clients, receiving more cash compensation, and decreasing equity compensation (http://ibn.fm/gKVpA).

That investor relations and public relations segment was a key driver of CIIX’s revenue for the period of three months ended August, when it generated $821,361, a 202.8 percent jump in sales compared to the $271,248 for the same period in 2018, the company reported in its 10-K SEC filing.

Wang discussed the importance of this core business as it offers clients multi-channel exposure to the market, including roadshows, email campaigns, social media efforts, and TV shows in conjunction with Phoenix TV.

In the MoneyTV segment, Wang also described the future benefits of its educational programs. He noted that CIIX utilizes four professors to teach an audience of new investors how to trade in the stock market. The result, he said, is that CIIX is able to compile a valuable database of future clients, and customers appreciate the interactive methodology of the class.

The SEC report also highlighted the company’s focus on achieving more cash compensation for its IR efforts, noting that the company “is attempting to decrease the amount of equity compensation for services performed, preferring to enter into more cash compensation arrangements.” In its 10-K annual report for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, CIIX reported an IR/PR increase for the year to $1,323,506, up 36.6 percent from $968,282: this signifies an increase of $355,224. To continue growing this segment, the company said it was also focused on obtaining new IR clients.

Aside from its emphasis on investor relations, CIIX has also positioned itself to take advantage of the burgeoning CBD industry. Its wholly owned subsidiary CBD Biotech Inc. has expanded into six new countries and a new region of China (http://ibn.fm/G3zYk). This expansion represents seven new strong Asian markets. While CIIX is still focused on its original mission of providing financial information in the Chinese language character sets, its subsidiary is establishing a presence in the emerging global CBD market.

These endeavors give positive indications for CIIX’s continued growth. In a Redchip Money Report interview with host Dave Gentry, Wang projected CIIX’s sales to reach $11-12 million in FY2020, the 12 months ending in May 2020.

CIIX is a diverse company which offers its audience of Chinese-speaking investors real time market commentary, analysis, and educational-related services in Chinese character language sets.

• InsuraGuest uses a proprietary InsurTech software platform to deliver insurance products to guests while they are on the premises of a vacation rental property or at a hotel from time of check-in to check-out
• InsuraGuest is a SaaS software company that provides a useful tool protecting hotel guests and vacation property renters in cases of accidents while the guest is on the property; the insurance products covers property damage, property theft, accidental medical, as well as and death and dismemberment, up to policy limits
• InsuraGuest has recently entered the vacation rental property market sector and is very excited about the substantial projected growth to that sector in the coming years

InsuraGuest Inc. delivers insurance using its proprietary InsurTech software platform. This enables both hotels and vacation rental properties to provide protection for their guests. Vacation rentals and hotels can buy the InsuraGuest protection policy, which the property extends the insurance coverage to their guests while on the property.

People who plan to travel overseas or go on vacation are often encouraged to buy travel insurance to provide some protection from illness or accidents that may occur while traveling or visiting another country, but these policies may exclude or may be limited for accidents that happen at a vacation rental property or hotel. Even when traveling within a country, a person may find that their travelers’ policy does not cover what they thought it did, which puts them at risk for additional expenses.

InsuraGuest recognized that there is a gap in traditional insurance policies, and thus the company created a system to provide coverage that could be missing. It provides protection, up to policy limits, against accidents that can happen to guests while on the premises of a hotel or vacation rental property. Accidents can include damage to property as well as medical mishaps that could put the guest in the position of needing to seek urgent medical attention – which may include having to go to a hospital. The property owner themselves may have insurance, the guest may have their own medical insurance or umbrella policy, but often these policies do not cover fault of the guest or a third-party claim.

InsuraGuest can provide that additional coverage which is so often needed. For instance, it provides coverage for accidental damage to rooms, goods that become lost or property that is stolen, medical expenses and even dismemberment or death. The insurance covers the guest from the time of check-in up until the time the guest checks out while on the property. The InsuraGuest policy, which is sold to the property and extended to the guest, will be automatically charged to all the guests of the participating properties at the time of check-in.

InsuraGuest’s Guest Protection Policy becomes the first line of defense for the property, and the first line of defense for the guest. As everyone knows, accidents can and do happen and can be very costly, especially when one considers the very high cost of medical care in countries such as the United States.

For example, InsuraGuest has signed contracts with Cal-Vegas, Ltd. for the Red Lion Inn & Suites® in South Carolina (http://ibn.fm/5jdpM). The InsurTech software will be integrated with the hotel software and will be extended to all its Red Lion guests when they check in to the hotel. The fee will be charged to each guest as a separate line item for the InsuraGuest Protection Policy.

InsuraGuest is a SaaS (Software as a Service) company that provides software in both the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) markets. The software platform can integrate with 70 plus property management systems, meaning it can be used in several properties around the world.

Many people looking for accommodation while on holiday prefer to stay in vacation rental properties rather than stay in traditional hotels. This growth represents a great opportunity for InsuraGuest since it is likely that a growing market of customers will be looking to supplement their travel insurance options.

As many as 20 percent of these vacation rental properties are found in the United States and the market growth rate is 6.9 percent, with projected vacation rental property revenue for 2019 projected to be about $57.669 billion (http://ibn.fm/7Ia0i).

InsuraGuest is currently focused on the U.S. market but has begun plans to expand into the UK and other European countries. The company also intends to expand into Asia in 2020. Expansion into the European market will be a smart move since it is double the market size of the United States. The U.S. vacation rental market sector is valued at about $100 billion, while Europe is valued at about $218 billion (http://ibn.fm/q6CEv). The added growth and popularity of vacation rental properties, such as found through Airbnb or VRBO, provides tremendous opportunities for the InsuraGuest as it expands (http://ibn.fm/oXpzH).

• TGOD is defining industry standard in organic sustainability practices, follows a regenerative farming method
• Sustainability lends both ethical, business edge to companies, says TGOD leadership
• The company is dedicated to organic practices, sustainable principles

The only certified-organic scaled producer in the industry, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) is committed to more than just cultivating premium organic cannabis. TGOD works to cultivate a way of life, ensuring that from seed, soil and beyond, every step of the company’s cultivating process is designed to make a difference. As part of that commitment, TGOD is defining the industry standard in organic sustainability practices.

The Green Organic Dutchman follows a regenerative farming method, carefully considering the entire product life cycle in order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint in every way possible. Because of this deliberate approach, the TGOD organic cultivation process is exceptionally clean with a focus on the natural growth of the plan, ultimately resulting in the best cannabis Mother Nature can produce.

“Sustainability means my future and the future of our communities,” TGOD facilities engineer Richard Aranha stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/MPSMH). “Our culture is designed around sustainable practices because sustainability gives an ethical edge to your company, but it also provides a business edge.”

With the future in mind, TGOD is dedicated to organic practices and sustainable principles, including the following:

• Recyclable packaging – The company packages its flower and oil products in recyclable glass; TGOD shipping containers use only recyclable paper;
• LED lighting – TGOD relies on LED lighting as the most efficient and impactful manmade light source to fuel growth of its plants;
• Hybrid facilities – The careful design of TGOD’s hybrid facilities allows for maximum absorption of natural sunlight. In addition, multiple filtration processes allow the company to recycle 90 percent of rainwater, which is then used to feed the plants;
• Energy efficiency – The company uses water-heat transfer, which provides heat for its hybrid facilities in the most energy-efficient, cost-effective manner; and
• Environmental advocacy. TGOD has partnered with several local groups, including Grand River Authority Conservation, to work on specific environmental priorities to ensure the land is protected and honored.

In addition to its commitment to sustainability, The Green Organic Dutchman prides itself on following a higher standard of organic growing, which includes creating a living soil rich in beneficial organisms with no synthetic chemicals used at any stage of cultivation. TGOD recognizes that growing certified organic cannabis is better for the community, the soil, the environment and – most importantly – the consumer.

• Doing business right, taking cues from the prohibition era to optimize its unique business model for the cannabis industry
• Transferring the Paso Robles ranch property into a vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facility and wellness retreat
• Over half of all Americans support the legalization of marijuana, which bodes well for the industry

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a forward-thinking company involved in the acquisition, licensing and management of fully compliant turnkey facilities for the production of cannabis-based products and services in California, recognizes the importance of – and is committed to – doing business right in an industry rife with legal complexities. As the country’s attitude toward cannabis warms, LiveWire looks to lessons learned during the prohibition era to ensure company growth and success.

A growing number – more than 60 percent – of Americans now support the legalization of marijuana, double what it was at the turn of the century (http://ibn.fm/7eWDL). That increasing support bodes well for companies such as LiveWire. Even so, the company is making its way carefully forward, following an entrepreneurial roadmap influenced by the nation’s journey through and especially the period after the end of prohibition (http://ibn.fm/wMf0a). That roadmap includes several points worth noting, including:

• Making education of the public about cannabis a priority;
• Embracing public opinion and support;
• Creating a unique and legal business model;
• Using nontraditional marketing strategies;
• Targeting new audiences;
• Establishing advantageous strategic alliances; and
• The creation of the high-quality ‘Estrella Weedery’ brand.

Part of LiveWire’s strategy, which includes these elements as well as others the company has identified as important, consists of the purchase made earlier this year of an historic Paso Robles ranch property (http://ibn.fm/E6Lso). Located in the heart of California wine country, the 265-acre property was once owned by George R. Hearst, the eldest grandson of the late William Randolph Hearst. In addition to eventually hosting LVVV’s essential cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facilities, plans for the property include transforming it into the world’s first Estate-grown Weedery. When complete, the ranch will be one of the largest, vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facilities and wellness retreats in California.

“This is by far the most significant milestone in our company’s development and possibly the most significant real-estate acquisition in the entire California cannabis industry,” said LiveWire CEO Bill Hodson. “We are developing it into the center piece of our business model with the goal to establish a shining example for the entire cannabis industry and Estrella Ranch-branded products soon to be recognized as one of the finest in California.”

This milestone project has been done right from inception, Hodson continued. “During the last twelve months, our management team, legal, environmental and architectural consulting firms have concluded the extensive due diligence process and confirmed the suitability of the property for the operation of our fully legal, ‘closed-loop’ cannabis production facility.”

That commitment to sound business practices will continue as the company considers partnerships, joint ventures and creates strategic alliances with the best legal operators in the cannabis industry. The Estrella Ranch Weedery operations will eventually include cultivation, extraction, lab and research facilities and luxury recreational opportunities. As a central hub for Livewire’s operation, the site provides unique ways to implement different operational and marketing strategies and ideas as well as the ability to target diverse audiences, both takeaways from the prohibition era and important means to set the company apart from the competition.

LiveWire Ergogenics specializes in identifying and monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The company is focused on acquiring, managing and licensing specialized, closed-loop, turnkey, cannabis, real-estate locations of fully compliant and permitted turnkey facilities to produce cannabis-based products and services in California and the statewide distribution of these products.

• The company is aiming to expand its presence domestically and internationally with its recent launch on the Canadian market
• Wildflower Brands’ online CBD store recorded 300 percent growth year over year, with 39 percent of monthly sales coming from repeat customers
• The lucrative U.S. CBD market is estimated to reach $22 billion by 2022

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF), a public cannabis company developing brands that focus on plant-based wellness and health products, is quickly expanding its market presence and looks intent to dominate the CBD space by providing premium branded products through a distribution network comprising of more than 800 locations, as well as a successful online store, according to an October 2019 investor presentation (http://ibn.fm/7LAUv).

Operating out of Washington State, the company markets its CBD products to retailers in the health and wellness space under the slogan “Plants Heal.” Its distribution network in the U.S. includes 200+ retailers in Washington State and 20+ retailers in New York City. In partnership with Retail Worx, the company has established shop-in-shop retail locations in the center of New York City, which complement the introduction of their products at Bridges General’s stores in New York City and San Francisco. Apart from the full range of CBD products marketed under the Wildflower Wellness brand, Wildflower by Bridges General stores will have several exclusive product offerings.

Wildflower products are available in over 260 Dillard’s department stores (http://ibn.fm/5Sox3), as well as at 100 Earthbound Trading locations nationwide, 20 premium health and wellness stores throughout Manhattan, and wellness guru Joel Warren’s Saks Fifth Avenue salon (http://ibn.fm/CMB5p). The company recently completed the strategic acquisition of Canadian-based City Cannabis Corp, which gives it access to four retail stores in Vancouver, British Columbia. Two of these stores were opened in August 2019 (http://ibn.fm/6Wwqe).

Overseas, Wildflower has already completed its first commercial export to the U.K and has started selling its products at high-end retailer Selfridges. Additionally, the company has signed a distribution agreement to begin selling in Poland and is undergoing a packaging compliance processing in Italy. Wildflower also expects to send its first shipment of products to South Africa in early November 2019.

In terms of online sales, the company receives an average of 900 orders per month and achieved a 3.44 percent conversion rate in October 2019. Its online store boasts 39 percent of monthly sales from repeat customers and a growth rate of 300 percent year over year.

These developments, paired with the company’s commitment to delivering only high-quality wellness-focused CBD infused products to the discerning consumer, have had a positive impact on Wildflower’s sales figure. According to the October 2019 investor presentation, the company’s retail sales went up 156 percent year over year. In 2019, Wildflower issued shares worth $136.9 million, options of $10.9 million ($0.20-$1.55), and warrants of $15.2 million ($0.75-$2.25).

Wildflower remains focused on its strategy to expand into large retail chains and launch new products both in the U.S. and internationally. As part of the company’s domestic expansion plans, a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to be completed in November is expected to significantly boost production.

These moves position Wildflower Brands for sustained growth and market prominence in the ever-growing cannabis and CBD space. Analysts anticipate the U.S. CBD market to reach $22 billion by 2022 (http://ibn.fm/hhlfP), while the cannabis market as a whole to top $75 billion by 2030 (http://ibn.fm/ldiK9).

• Wildflower Brands is a West Coast-based plant wellness company that is building a host of cannabis product offerings for the CBD and THC markets
• Wildflower’s products are spreading from their Washington state production facility to hundreds of stores in the United States, with additional agreements in Europe, the United Kingdom and South Africa in the works
• The company’s success is leading to the construction of a second manufacturing facility that’s expected to increase Wildflower’s output capacity tenfold, once it opens next month

Cannabis and health care product developer Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) is watching its brands grow throughout the North American continent this year and across the ocean during a period of heady advances for the overarching industry.

The health and wellness company’s mission is to connect people with the healing power of plants, nourishing its CBD and THC products with an infrastructure that helps them flourish even in the wan sunlight that bathes the northern hemisphere late in the year.

Wildflower’s Bellingham, Washington, production facility has added a second shift to keep pace with demand for the company’s Wildflower offerings in a variety of capsules, tinctures, topicals, vaporizers and soaps. A second, 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is expected to be completed within a month.

The new facility will fully automate production of the company’s SKUs and increase output capacity more than tenfold.

“We receive inbound contact daily by new retailers and distributors reaching out to us to carry our products and with production at near capacity we need the expanded manufacturing,” CEO William MacLean stated in a news release about the changes (http://ibn.fm/DZCNn).

In the United States, the company’s products are distributed in over 800 stores, including some 260 Dillard’s clothing retail outlets and 100 Earthbound Trading clothing and accessories stores.

Wildflower has expanded into Canada with four premier cannabis stores in British Columbia’s cultured West Coast cannabis market under Wildflower’s subsidiary City Cannabis Corp. — the only cannabis company to gain four licenses in the British Columbia province.

Although cannabis vaporizers such as those produced by Wildflower have come under increased public scrutiny during recent months amid reports of some vape users’ lung-related illnesses and deaths, Wildflower’s products are all made in the United States and are tested by a third-party lab for quality assurance and accurate labeling.

The mysterious vaping-related disease has been branded EVALI, short for e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The federal health agency acknowledged it has not been able to determine the precise cause(s) of EVALI, but suspicion has generally turned toward black market products manufactured without proper regulatory oversight and their recent trend of using a vitamin e acetate emulsifier (http://ibn.fm/387fi).
