Fundamental
Research Corp. (FRC), a company in the business of providing quality equity
research coverage since 2003, recently released its second report on Laguna
Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F), a rapidly growing multi-level
marketing (MLM) company focused on the sale of functional, hemp-based
beverages. FRC released its first report on May 5, 2016, giving Laguna a BUY
rating and fair value estimate of $0.45 per share. According to the original
report, the company’s shares were expected to range from $0.30 to $1.06,
depending on the number of affiliates LAGBF generates by 2020.
Since
this initial coverage, Laguna’s share price is up by 83% and its market
capitalization is up by 155% to $6.22 million. Not only this, reported revenues
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (quarter ended March 31, 2016) were
approximately $17K, a number that rose to approximately $47K in the company’s
first quarter of fiscal 2016 (quarter ended June 30, 2016). Laguna Blends has
raised approximately $0.7 million through two private placements, leaving FRC
to nearly double the company’s fair value estimate from its initial $0.45 per
share to $0.80 per share.
The
company has also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with
Cannaceuticals (“Canna”). LAGBF will be distributing Canna’s seven Swiss-made
cannabidiol skincare products by the end of this month in the U.S. and in
Canada by the end of the year. The agreement was signed after the results of
the clinical trials on these products showed that all 21 female test subjects
noticed an overall improvement of their skin’s appearance.
Personal
care products were shown to be the number one category in direct sales in 2015.
Therefore, it is only fitting that Laguna positions itself within the skin care
industry. Niche products such as cannabidiol skin care products normally do
well in direct sales, and although these only equate to less than 1% of retail
sales in the U.S., wellness product sales and personal care products make up
46.7% of these.
LAGBF
has bought all of the current inventory of the seven Cannaceuticals products
for $0.23 million, to be paid over the next six months. In addition to this,
LAGBF paid a licensing fee in common shares worth $0.10 million. Laguna will
place a minimum order of $1.5 million giving the company the rights to sell all
seven products in the U.S. and Canada. Once regulatory approvals are received,
Laguna will have the rights to sell Canna’s products in Asia, Europe, and
Mexico. The agreement fits in with Laguna’s strategy to build a diversified
portfolio of products, similar to other MLM companies. Laguna announced the VIP
launch of Cannaceuticals CBD skin care products on September 13, 2016, making
them available for sale on September 15, 2016.
