Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) Posts 2Q Financial Results

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) today announced that sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, were up significantly over the first quarter, and provided insight regarding details of the company’s manufacturing facility and applications of products.

“Although sales were up significantly, this is now an insignificant part of our business model at this time. Pending completion of our multipurpose industrial hemp processing plant that vertically integrates growing, decortification, milling and more, millions of dollars in revenue can potentially be generated per year. Thus, the direction of the company has now shifted,” Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin stated in the news release.

While the direction of the company has shifted toward more advanced processing in the milling line, Perlowin says the company will continue to market its hemp-based cosmeceutical and nutriceutical product line.

“In terms of generating profit, our multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, by far, outweighs any sales revenue generated from our product line which is why we feel it best to shift focus,” Perlowin said, also noting that all of the equipment, including the new milling line, was purchased by Hemp, Inc. at a deep discount.

Completion of the plant provides Hemp, Inc. the vertical integration of hemp from field to end user solutions. The decortication line separates the bast from the core for use in plastic, paper, fiberboard, etc. The core will then be further processed at the plant’s advanced milling component generating Lost Circulation Material (LCM) making drilling safer for the environment and also making spill absorption material for soil and water remediation. U.S. Naval studies have shown that Kenaf and Hemp are the most absorbent natural materials on earth.

Committed to “the American farmers and to spearheading a new clean, green American agricultural and industrial revolution,” Hemp, Inc. said it hopes to generate revenue from processing Kenaf and, later, hemp for the oil drilling pipes, textile, building automotive and other industries.

According to David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.’s Industrial Hemp Manufacturing LLC subsidiary, once the company begins to manufacture DrillWallTM LCM, revenues can potentially range from $392,000 to $980,000 per month based on an output of just 1 ton per hour, one crew shift per day. With three crew shifts per day, revenues can potentially range from $1,176,000 to $2,940,000 per month. Potential buyers of LCMs typically seek three to five-year contracts from suppliers which would create a substantial and steady revenue stream for Hemp.

Industrial Hemp Manufacturing will also produce and sell SpillSorbent™, an absorbent made from the core fiber of Kenaf and Hemp plants. This biodegradable, core material is found to be the most absorbent natural material on earth and can absorb oil in minutes.

Hemp also has a green technology to make plant fibers fire retardant, water repellent, absorptive, and super soft. Natural fiber can be provided as cut fiber, treated fiber, thread, string, textiles, non-woven or needle punched products.

The company has over 4 million pounds of Kenaf on-hand and also planted a Kenaf crop this year which should be harvested by the end of this year. The crop will be the first crop processed by Hemp, Inc.’s decortication facility.

On 9 acres, multipurpose industrial hemp processing plant is almost 70% complete and has a 6-inch cement foundation and a refrigerated section. A skilled crew conducting internal assessments of the equipment has been ensuring every aspect of the Temafa decortication line is prepped for maximum operational efficiency. The plant is expected to be fully operational in the next 90 – 120 days.
