NEW YORK, Jan. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- HempAmericana, Inc. (OTC:HMPQ) (“HempAmericana” or
the “Company”) CEO issues the following letter to Shareholders:
Dear Valued Shareholder,
First off, we wish to applaud members of the US House of Representatives and US Senate, as well as the President,
for signing the 2018 Farm Bill into law last month.
The removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA) will, according to all analysis
we have received, indeed mean a broad expansion in the scale and scope of the total U.S. hemp industry. And experts expect this to
have a disproportionately positive impact on growth in the hemp-derived CBD products market segment (see new New Frontier Data’s
Hemp Business Journal estimates, for example).
That brings us to our next major point today: HempAmericana will be at full production before the end of this month (January
2019) at our state-of-the-art CBD extraction and production facility in Augusta, Maine.
We will be accepting delivery and coordinating installation on both of our new pieces of critical equipment this month: the
Pilot 15 distillation machine and the Kannamill 4 grinding machine. The grinding machine is already out for delivery and will
double our overall production capacity once installed.
These deliveries were originally expected in December, but factors out of the Company’s control, including holiday scheduling,
have pushed back the timeline into this month. But everything is now on track for delivery, installation, and the start of
full-scale production of 99% pure CBD during January.
Shareholders should also be aware of our recent upgrade to our security system at our Augusta facility. We are going to be
processing a commodity that has an extremely high value per unit weight. The technology we now have in place at our facility has a
very high value in itself. But it will be put to use to churn out some of the finest CBD produced anywhere. As such, we have
invested in ramping up our security infrastructure to eliminate the potential for serious adverse events in the production process
due to criminal incursion.
Finally, we have been clear in our “Big Picture” plans along the way. But for new shareholders, we will circle back around: Our
operations in Maine have always been conceived of as a pilot program to establish the viability of our unique approach to the
production of industry-leading CBD quality in a highly organized and streamlined operation.
The establishment of full-scale production in Maine is our springboard for moving to Phase 2 of that Big Picture plan: the
establishment of our second major production site.
Management has poured over the numbers directly related to our Maine operations. Our conclusion is that the data justify
continued expansion given that our success in Maine came in under budget and brought us to the brink of full-scale production of
top quality CBD with no increase in debt.
HempAmericana leadership is now working closely with advisors and our legal team in selecting the site for our next operational
hub. At this stage, we are avidly pursuing properties in Oregon, Indiana, and New York.
We will update you as events progress. But exciting news is on the way!
Best Regards,
Salvador Rosillo
