Puration Announces $1.2 Million Sales Contract Adding to Existing Cannabis Extraction Business With Expansion Potential to $16 Million Annually

DALLAS, July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Puration, Inc. (USOTC: PURA) today announced a $1.2 million sales contract. The sales contract comes in conjunction with PURA's recently announced letter of intent (LOI) agreement to acquire a twenty-five greenhouse grow operation. The sales contract calls for a wholesale purchase of all PURA's production from the 25-greenhouse operation up to $100,000 per month. The acquisition under LOI is expected to close before the end of this month and include expansion terms that could lead to the addition of another 400 irrigated greenhouse pads ready for buildout.  

Potential for expansion to $16 million in annual sales and beyond 

The $1.2 million sales contract will be fulfilled from the production coming from the operation of the 25 greenhouses currently under LOI. The operations under LOI have historically grown and sold traditional greenhouse flowers for use in residential landscaping. The original nursery operation had a long history that includes contracts with Lowes (NYSE: LOW) and Home Depot (NYSE: HD). Puration plans to use proceeds from the traditional nursery operation to expand the operation into its full 400 greenhouse potential. The operation is located in regions of East Texas well known for nursery operations. Texas has recently legalized medical marijuana and is pending the issuance of its first licenses. Puration intends to transition to marijuana growing overtime in conjunction with the legalization process. In the meantime, Puration anticipates the traditional nursery operations have the potential to expand to as high as $16 million in annual sales. Medical Marijuana sales can be substantially higher. Puration plans to develop its own proprietary strains of Hemp and Marijuana within the acquired greenhouse operation in order to enhance the Company's existing extraction business.
