Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), one of the largest publicly
traded hydroponics supply companies moving into the industrial hemp space, is a
product and brand marketing company investing in products and brands with
disruptive potential. Sugarmade’s brands include: ZenHydro.com; CarryOutSupplies.com;
and BudLife. Headquartered in Monrovia, California, a city within Los Angeles
county, Sugarmade has various business operations in diverse marketplaces
including packaging and paper goods for various industries, agricultural
supplies.
Sugarmade has expanded into the European hydroponics supply
market with a growing base of orders taken through Amazon UK. Over the past few
financial quarters, Sugarmade has seen revenue growth patterns expand
geographically. As recently as mid-2017, the majority of hydroponic-related
revenue growth was seen from California and other West Coast marketplaces,
however growth is becoming more geographically dispersed among U.S. states
where legalization has eased restriction. This movement into the United Kingdom
further expands the base of geographic growth areas for Sugarmade.
Sugarmade recently launched a new corporate initiative in
the booming industrial hemp and CBD, committing up to $1 million in capital
over the next 12 months to invest in Hempistry, Inc., a privately held Nevada
corporation. Hempistry has begun planting an ultra-high cannabidiol (CBD)
industrial hemp strain on a land option it holds on 23,000 acres of prime
Kentucky farmland. The strain of industrial hemp being grown by Hempistry is
ultra-rich in CBD but contains less than 0.3 percent of THC, the psychoactive
ingredient found in cannabis. The U.S. hemp industry is expected to produce
well over $1 billion in revenues in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of
14 percent through 2022, according to the Hemp Business Journal.
Demand for industrial hemp and products derived from hemp is
soaring, with no let-up in sight, which the company sees as a “tremendous
opportunity to become a supplier to this fast-growing sector,” said Chairman
and CEO Jimmy Chan, who is also an advisor and minority shareholder of Hempistry.
Sugarmade’s investment into the market for high-CBD hemp is
expected to be highly accretive for common shareholders in two ways. First,
Sugarmade’s investment will be in the form of common shares in Hempistry
allowing Sugarmade common shareholders to possibly benefit from any future
initial public offering of Hempistry. Second, Sugarmade is expected to sign a
supply agreement with Hempistry for cultivation supplies, which would be
additive to corporate revenues.
Sugarmade has also completed a master market agreement with
industry leader BizRight Hydroponics, Inc., a leading marketer and manufacturer
of cannabis and hydroponic growth supplies, which offers a range of
hydroponics-related products including: HPS grow lights, electronic ballasts,
HPS bulbs, nutrient mixes, environmental control products, pH measurement and
calibration solutions and storage products. BizRight operates the ZenHydro.com
website and other e-commerce properties and sells various products to
distributors and retailers. BizRight is expected to produce in excess of $30
million in revenues during 2017, with substantial growth expected for 2018.

by offering a wide array of high quality products that are cost-efficient,

introduction of new product offerings.
