Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc., a California
corporation (“Grapefruit”), as of May 31, 2019, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Imaging3 Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG), a Delaware corporation whose shares of $.001 par
value common stock are publicly traded on the OTCMarkets OTCQB Market under the
symbol “IGNG.” IGNG is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and files annual and quarterly reports pursuant thereto.
Grapefruit holds licenses originally issued by the State of California in
January 2018 to both manufacture and distribute cannabis products. Grapefruit’s
management now owns a controlling interest in IGNG which now owns 100% of
Grapefruit’s outstanding shares. As a result, IGNG’s financial reports will
consolidate both IGNG’s and Grapefruit’s balance sheet, statement of operation
and statement of cash flows and IGNG and Grapefruit will be operated as a single
company. IGNG intends to change its name to Grapefruit and to obtain a more
appropriate trading symbol as soon as possible. Hereinafter the combined
companies will be referred to as “Grapefruit” or the “Company.”
Grapefruit’s corporate headquarters is in Westwood, Los
Angeles, California. Grapefruit holds licenses to both manufacture and
distribute cannabis products which were originally issued in January 2018 and
is fully compliant with all applicable laws and regulations to operate its
cannabis manufacturing and distribution businesses.
The company is well-focused on sourcing only the “best of
the best” raw cannabis materials to create the highest quality, most-trusted
and consistent recreational and medical cannabis products for its customers.
Grapefruit is committed to ensuring class-leading quality by rigorously testing
the purity and potency of its raw materials throughout the manufacturing
process and distribution chain.
Grapefruit owns and operates its fully licensed and
compliant ethanol extraction laboratory located in the Coachillin’ Industrial
Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park in Desert Hot Springs,
California. The company’s extraction lab produces high quality,
cannabis-derived distillate, also known as “honey oil,” from cannabis flower
and “trim.” THC honey oil is one of base cannabis commodities which serves as
the active ingredient in everything from infused edibles and tinctures/creams
to the cartridges used in vapes and e-cigarettes. Honey oil often sells on the
wholesale marketplace for thousands of dollars per liter, with pricing being
dependent on quantity purchased, as well as other market factors such as the
availability and cost of the underlying flowers and/or trim.
Grapefruit began its extraction operations in May 2019.
Plans are in place to expand its honey oil production through the purchase of
additional distillation equipment, which is expected to significantly increase
the company’s production capacity by the fourth quarter of 2019. Grapefruit’s
extraction lab is fully scalable and expansion will be built-out on a two-acre
lot owned by Grapefruit at the Coachillin’ site adjacent to its current
manufacturing and distribution operation.
Grapefruit selected the City of Desert Hot Springs for its
cannabis extraction laboratory, because the city has created a friendly
business environment for cannabis-based manufacturers, including incentives
like the absence of taxes on cannabis oil production revenues. This affords
Grapefruit a fundamental competitive market advantage over other Honey Oil
producers.
The California cannabis regulatory scheme is unique in that
it requires all cultivators (cannabis farms) and manufacturers (whether
producing oils/distillates, infused edibles, tinctures creams or other cannabis
products) to sell their products into the legal cannabis wholesale and retail
markets exclusively through licensed distributors such as Grapefruit.
Grapefruit initially obtained its California recreational and medicinal
cannabis distribution license Jan. 4, 2018. In May 2019, Grapefruit was granted
its provisional distribution license which is renewable annually, thereby
cementing the regulatory foundation necessary to rapidly expand its
distribution business.
Grapefruit’s distribution license affords it a twofold
strategic advantage: first, to market and sell its own cannabis product lines
to retailers throughout California; and second, to buy and resell bulk cannabis
flowers and trim as well as all other legal cannabis products to properly
licensed distributors and/or retailers throughout California.
The Coachillin’ Canna-Business Park, home to Grapefruit’s
current operating facilities and adjacent two-acre parcel of land, is a
160-acre, self-contained legally mapped compound providing the Company with a
fully permitted and serviced physical plant from which Grapefruit intends to
establish a leading position in the booming California cannabis sector. The
parcel was purchased by the Company prior to the Park’s full development, and
the value of the land the Company owns has conservatively since doubled in
value to over $2 million. Additional long-term benefits of the Coachillin’
compound include agricultural rates for power, which are currently $0.09 per
kilowatt hour; the Park’s deep-water well that fully satisfies its need for
water; and security expenses shared by all resident businesses. The Coachillin’
Park’s promoters also plan to position the Park, located only 10 miles north of
rapidly growing uptown Palm Springs and less than 15 miles from the site of the
Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals as a must-see canna-tourism
destination.
Grapefruit’s ultimate goal is to become a vertically
integrated, seed-to-sale cannabis and CBD product company serving the
California market. Moreover, it plans to roll-out its product lines in other
states, such as Nevada, Illinois, Oregon, Colorado and Washington. Grapefruit
has plans to build a large, all-inclusive facility that will house a
50,000-square-foot-plus indoor grow canopy, a large extraction laboratory
designed to extract both THC and CBD cannabinoids via non-volatile (ethanol)
and volatile (butane) processes, a manufacturing space to produce Grapefruit’s
vape lines and CBD products, an FDA-certified kitchen for the production of
Grapefruit edibles and a distribution facility to sell all products into the
entire cannabis market. The indoor grow canopy operation will be outfitted and
operated to produce ultra-high-quality flowers and buds, some of which, along
with the high-quality trim resulting from cleaning and maintaining the grow,
will provide biomass necessary to feed the company’s extraction laboratory.
Fueled by this hand cultivated biomass, Grapefruit’s lab will continuously
produce pesticide and heavy metal-free world class honey oil to both serve as
the active ingredient in all of Grapefruit’s branded and unbranded products and
meet the projected ever-growing demand for high quality honey oil in the
California market.
Grapefruit’s motto – A High You Can Trust –
embodies its philosophy and ethos, reminding consumers of the company’s
commitment to manufacturing, procuring and distributing only the highest
quality all-natural cannabis flower, concentrates and related products that are
free from pesticides, heavy metals and bacteria. Grapefruit will target its
products to all recreational cannabis enthusiasts’ as continuous, consistent
cannabis products. By relentlessly adhering to these policies Grapefruit
intends to become the Titleist of the Cannabis industry, known for unwavering
quality and consistency.
Grapefruit is managed by a team of experts possessing the
experience, skill and resources required to succeed in the competitive cannabis
marketplace. Founded by brothers Bradley Yourist, CEO, and Daniel Yourist, COO,
Grapefruit has expanded to become a group of industry professionals sharing a
passion for all things cannabis. Both the CEO & COO are attorneys licensed
to practice law the State of California who possess expert cannabis licensing
and regulatory expertise and experience, which will allow Grapefruit to deftly
navigate the ever changing California regulatory landscape and apply for new
cannabis licenses at reduced costs when necessary, rather than having to
acquire licenses that are often overvalued and/or pay outside counsel to handle
such matters.
Grapefruit also has its own line of cannabis-infused
concentrates and edibles. Among the brands now in stores or soon to be launched
are:
- Rainbow
Dreams is a new lifestyle brand designed specifically for the
recreational cannabis marketplace. The Rainbow Dreams brand captures the
anything goes party vibe of the 1970s by offering an array of cannabis
products, such as a line of vape carts with unique cannabis strains
combined with all-natural flavors for a superior no-burn experience.
Rainbow Dreams fills an important niche in the marketplace as a top shelf
quality product line that is competitively priced.
- Sugar
Stoned, which Grapefruit acquired in the winter of 2018, has always
been a popular cannabis edibles brand which terminated operations when
recreational cannabis became legal and required a license in California.
Grapefruit purchased the Sugar Stoned brand in 2019 and it is now a
Grapefruit portfolio brand consisting of a premium quality
cannabis-infused gummy line with eight different flavors: blue raspberry, cherry,
grape, peach, pineapple, sour apple, strawberry and watermelon. Grapefruit
intends to expand the brand in the near future through the release of a
variety of infused cookies.
