Sugarmade, Inc.
(OTC: SGMD)

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) is a product and brand marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. The company is focused on collaborating with real people in real-time to identify the emerging desires and behaviors poised to unlock new opportunities and pathways for growth. Sugarmade seeks to redefine the marketplace by nurturing an innovative and compelling relationship between brand, botany and business – resulting in both undeniable consumer value and an intriguing cross-pollination of revenue sources.

The company’s core strategic plan is centered on expanding its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space. Through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Sugarmade intends to develop a full farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business.

Brand Portfolio

Sugarmade has investments in a number of subsidiaries with active operations in the California cannabis sector. These include:

• NUG Avenue – Sugarmade owns a 70% stake in NUG Avenue, a cannabis delivery service based in Southern California providing hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay and more.
• BudCars – Sugarmade is an investor in cannabis delivery service of BudCars’ first operating location in Sacramento, California. BudCars is an online-shopping experience designed to provide new customers with an easy way to discover and order cannabis products within minutes.

Acquisition of Lemon Glow Company

On May 17, 2021, Sugarmade took a major step toward closing the loop on what its management team believes to be one of the most promising vertically integrated cannabis models in the thriving California market when it announced the signing of a definitive agreement for its acquisition of Lemon Glow Company Inc.

The Lemon Glow acquisition includes 640 acres of property, 32 of which have already been designated for outdoor cannabis cultivation. Per the company’s news release, the annual potential cultivation yield at the property is estimated to be approximately 4,000 pounds of dry trimmed cannabis flower per acre per year, which represents approximately 128,000 pounds, or 64 tons, of dry trimmed cannabis flower per year in total.

Notably, Sugarmade also benefits from the acquisition in terms of team capital, as Lemon Glow executive team members will stay on and become the core management team at the cannabis cultivation site, granting the operation over 30 years of cannabis cultivation experience.

“The Lemon Glow team are tremendous additions to the Sugarmade team,” Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade, commented in announcing the definitive agreement. “They have vast experience and established skills, as well as intricate knowledge of the property and its local grow context. That’s an enormous added value proposition in this deal. We look forward to bringing them on board, ramping up operations at the property, and taking key steps toward delivering on the promise of Sugarmade’s farm-to-door vision.”

• More than a dozen California cities are opening new recreational cannabis licensing opportunities this year, article reports
• SGMD has established a pattern of growth through the years, investing in a number of subsidiaries with active operations in the California cannabis sector
• Company also completed the acquisition of Lemon Glow and its assets, interests, property and rights

Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), an emerging leader in the licensed cannabis sector, last year completed the acquisition of Lemon Glow. The move, according to Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan, was part of the company’s efforts to set the stage to improve margins, expand end-market access, and grow, refine, produce, and distribute in the largest and fastest-growing cannabis market on the planet. “The acquisition was designed to position the company to achieve that objective with a significant capacity to scale as demand for California-grown cannabis is expected to increase when federal legalization takes place,” a recent article reads. For the 2022 cannabis cultivation season, Sugarmade is embarking on a new and bold strategy to enter contract arrangements with local Lake County cultivators that have decided not to engage in their own cultivation. This strategy is aimed at offering the company immediate access to the marketplace based on an advantageous cost model. “Invoking this dynamic short-term strategy, while continuing to develop the company’s longer-term strategy to develop the large Lemon Glow property for cultivation, will allow Sugarmade to significantly advance the timeframe for gaining market share in this industry based on a cost model that will allow the company to produce strong margins this cultivation season.”
