ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (CIIX) to Seek Acquisition Target after CBD Biotech Spin-off

• Growth by acquisition will be a priority following IPO spin-off, according to CIIX CEO Warren Wang
• CIIX reported significant revenue growth, with hemp and CBD sales increasing by eight times year-over-year
• Industry trend may indicate more hemp or marijuana being sourced from Columbia, or Thailand and other Asian locations, moving forward

ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is currently planning an IPO of wholly owned foreign enterprise CBD Biotech, according to CEO Warren Wang. Wang said in a news release that the company hopes for a Nasdaq IPO of CBD Biotech late in FY2019 or early the following year. CIIX would then focus on identifying an acquisition target for further growth (http://ibn.fm/cL3A8).

Wang emphasized that the CBD IPO would be a priority, followed by the acquisition search. CIIX sees CBD Biotech delivering higher CBD product distribution in FY2019, both domestically and in China. Wang added that the performance of the company’s financial services division in Q2 2019 was strong, recording a 40 percent increase in revenues over the same period of the prior year.

“As we leverage the momentum already in place, we look forward to having an even stronger second half for FY 2019,” Wang said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/O9Tv2).

Wang also discussed a possible future trend regarding production and sourcing of hemp and marijuana from Asian nations such as Thailand, as well as Columbia, due to cost savings as compared to relying on U.S. and Canadian facilities. This trend impacts CIIX, because the company sells hemp-based health products in China and the United States. CIIX also owns and operates ChineseHempOil.com Inc.

Based in San Gabriel, California, CIIX is a diversified company that offers its Chinese-speaking audience investment education through real-time market commentary, video reports, podcasts and an online site. Financial consulting services are provided to client companies as well.

MissionIRNewsBreaks – The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Releases Construction Update, Increases Capacity, Confirms On-Schedule Launch of Growers Circle

Cannabis-focused research and development company The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) today released a detailed construction update on its domestic Valleyfield and Hamilton operations that reflects significant progress toward the completion of both facilities. According to the update, as a result of a recently-identified need for design modifications in the construction process, the engineering improvements enable optimized facility throughput that, combined with organic specific modifications, provide an increased domestic productive capacity forecast from 156,000 kg to 202,500 kgs. The updated construction plan requires increased capital expenditures of approximately $30 million for the completion of the structures and an additional three months for start-up in Valleyfield. The added expenditures and improvements for the larger processing facility and operating enhancements to increase capacity will be incrementally phased in and are expected to be funded from operational cashflow. In addition to the construction update, TGOD announced that the Growers Circle launch remains on schedule, with medical patients across the country to receive first shipments of premium, certified organic cannabis this month. “Not only have we addressed the important redesign requirements, we have also made significant improvements to the operating capacity and capital timing of our facilities, resulting in an additional 46,500 kgs of productive capacity,” TGOD CEO Brian Athaide stated in the news release. “This allows us to bring additional product to both Canadian consumers and global markets. We are also excited to supply our first patients in the Growers Circle with premium organic cannabis this month, generating our first domestic revenues.”
