Management Commentary
Mr. Chris Rebentisch remarked, “Our guidance report for the fourth quarter outlines steady growth across our subsidiaries. We expect $18 million in total revenues for our fiscal year, our largest reported revenue to date. We have taken several measures to prepare and position the Company for continued revenue growth throughout 2020. We have a robust cash position, which will be utilized to complete our large infrastructure projects, ramp up cultivation and manufacturing production in California and open new markets with an immediate focus in Arizona . We have established a strong core foundation, re-focused on building valuable brands of consumer packaged goods that are delivering unique consumer experiences and attracted top brands as partners in Nevada . We have set a disciplined growth path to scale up our assets and production capacity in both Nevada and California where we see increased consumer demand for our AMA and Canna Hemp™ premium products.”
Q4 Operational Highlights
Infrastructure Update
During the quarter, the Company completed the construction and permitting process of its new state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Las Vegas , which, when fully operational will enable the company to produce a consistent supply of raw materials that is expected to have a positive effect on margins and future revenues. The Company expects the facility to have its first harvest by December 2019 , and to harvest every two weeks on a continuing basis thereafter.
The Company reported that its original cultivation facility is being renovated so that it may be utilized as an expanded extraction facility in order to increase raw material production for its AMA branded concentrates such as shatter, crumble, sugar, wax, budder, and distillate. The Company has submitted layout plans to Clark County for permitting and for tenant improvements on the existing building. The Company reports that this project is on track to become operational by end of 2019.
The Company also reports that it is on track to open a customized hemp extraction facility for the isolation of higher yield of CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC, and several other cannabinoids, including the ability to produce full spectrum and broad-spectrum oils, as well as isolates, that meet required GMP standards. A one-of-a kind facility, the hemp lab is expected to lower operating and manufacturing costs, increase cannabinoid extraction efficiency with a higher recapture rate, and deliver higher margins for the Company’s branded goods.
State Expansion
California represents the largest cannabis market in the world and establishing a local operation was a key priority for the Company. The Company recently reported the execution of a management agreement with California -based Green Spectrum, where the company will utilize its expertise in manufacturing and building distribution networks to undertake all initiatives relating to the establishment of a new cannabis manufacturing and extraction facility. In turn, the Company granted Green Spectrum a non-exclusive right and license to produce, manufacture, market and sell the Company’s licensed products within California .
Green Spectrum operates as a licensed cannabis cultivator, manufacturer and distributor, and holds a pending home delivery business license. By partnering with Green Spectrum, the Company will have the advantage of working with an established cultivator to build manufacturing and expand its distribution channels for its brands with the goal of becoming a statewide leader in the industry and launches the Company as a multi-state operator with a turnkey model that can be exported to other states.
Brand Partners
The Company executed a licensing agreement for the launch of Blonde™, a high-end California brand making its debut in Nevada . AMA received exclusive rights to cultivate flower, manufacture pre-rolls, live resin vape pens and cartridges under the Blonde™ brand for distribution to licensed dispensaries throughout Nevada .
