Isodiol Eyes Germany Via Laguna Blends’ Expansion Plans with Hemp CBD-Infused Cannabis Water and Skin Care Products

CARLSBAD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2016 / Isodiol, the Southern California-based hemp cannabinoid innovator, is setting its sights on Germany as the first European market to retail Carlsbad Naturals LLC, dba CBD Naturals‘ revolutionary bottled water, and CannaCeuticals luxury skin care products via a branding and distribution agreement with Laguna Blends (Laguna). CBD Naturals and CannaCeuticals cannabis product lines are infused with non-psychotropic nano-amplified, microencapsulated hemp cannabinoids; this unique raw ingredient is manufactured and supplied exclusively by Isodiol.

Jared Berry, CEO of Isodiol, states, “Expansion of CBD Naturals and CannaCeuticals into Germany’s retail market presents an extraordinary opportunity to educate more than 80 million people about hemp and the botanical’s all-natural components called cannabinoids. We believe that nano-amplified
cannabinoids are the future of consumer products. With nano-amplified cannabinoids exclusively supplied by Isodiol, consumers will realize the benefits of these advances in science.”

Laguna’s expansion plans into Germany follows news of the Company’s intent to acquire CBD Naturals. The acquisition by Laguna is for 60% equity interest and marketing rights for CBD Naturals and VitaDots brands. The transaction is valued at $1.8 MM USD.

Mr. Ray Grimm, Laguna’s President stated, “This partnership along with our German contacts, will give us an extremely strong foothold into Europe. Obviously when you receive a 100% improvement with a skin care product you have a home run product with the proven science and clinical data to back that up.” Mr. Ray Grimm went on to say, “The team of Doctors that formulated CBD Naturals water did so with the sole purpose of creating a high alkaline water offering the benefits of CBD. Many believe this to be the next evolution in the water industry, providing unique health benefits due to the proprietary nanotechnology.

SeeThruEquity Issues Update on Yangtze River Development Ltd. (OTC: YERR) Raising Price Target to $11.00

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2016 / SeeThruEquity, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on smallcap and microcap public companies, today announced it has issued an update on Yangtze River Development Ltd. (OTC: YERR) and raised the 12-month price target to $11.00 per share.

The report is available here: YERR October 2016 Update.

Highlights from the update are as follows:

Strategic financing agreement offers significant potential

On October 6, 2016, YERR announced a significant new partnership with Armada Enterprises GP, LLC (“Armada”), a Delaware LLC. The announcement states that YERR has received commitments for up to $1 billion in project financing for its large-scale port project in Wuhan, China. As we stated in our initiation of the company in June 2016, we have seen capital raising as a key need for the company to advance development of the projects and put YERR in a position to realize / demonstrate value from its significant real estate assets located in a strategic industrial area of China.

In the announcement, YERR indicated that it will also engage Wight International Construction (“Wight”), and Armada subsidiary, to lead the construction and development of the port. As consideration YERR will issue $500mn in convertible debt to Wight (converting into 50mn shares at $10 per share), and will issue 60mn shares to Armada valued at 8.33 per share. If the debt is fully converted, and YERR issues the maximum number of shares to Armada, the company would issue up to 110mn shares at an average price of $9.09 per share. For its part, Armada will be responsible for raising $1 billion in project financing, and will be subject to a breakup fee of $2mn in the event that it is unable to raise a minimum of $50mn in project capital. YERR will also receive 100mn membership units of Wight International Construction, valued at $10 per unit, which would convert to limited partnership units in Armada Enterprise LP, upon Armada’s contribution of Wight to Armada LP. Of note, YERR management noted that the company could receive an increase of $1 billion in assets on their balance sheet from the the 100mn units at $10, and the company will have approximately a 33% ownership in Wight International Construction following the deal.

Price target to $11.00 for YERR

Considering the company’s recent financing announcement, which management believes should provide the opportunity to realize value from its asset, we are raising our price target to $11.00 at this time. We would look to revisit this as funding commitments are realized, or real estate assets are monetized at transaction prices that highlight the potential upside for the project.

The power rental market was dominated by Aggreko plc. (U.K.), Caterpillar Inc. (U.S.), APR Energy plc. (U.S.), Ashtead Group Plc. (U.K.), and Cummins Inc. (U.S.) from 2011 to 2015. These players are trying to penetrate into developing economies and are adopting various methods to grab market share in these regions.

Majority of power rental players adopted contracts and agreements as their key strategy from 2011 to 2015

On the basis of developments, Aggreko Plc. (U.K.) held the largest share of contracts, followed by APR Energy Plc. (U.S.) and Caterpillar Inc. (U.S.). More than half of the contracts were demanded for power packages less than 50 MW, and the utility sector held the largest share of the global power rental contracts count from 2011 to 2015. This was due to the rising demand for large temporary power projects in the African countries where there is lack of power infrastructure. Majority of the contracts were made to create brand awareness among the local end-use sectors of the region to gain more power rental deals in the market. This strategy was followed by contracts made for geographic expansion in power deficit countries, which would render more opportunities for contract extensions and capacity additions.

Africa accounted for the highest number of deals in the power rental market from 2011 to 2015

On the basis of region, the market has been segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, South America Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The electrification rate in Africa was only 43% in 2015 and the region is prone to frequent blackouts due to lack of power infrastructure; these factors increase the demand for temporary power. Furthermore, large industrial infrastructure programs are being carried out in the region since 2010, particularly in the power industry. However, implementation of these projects takes time and delay in the power projects creates an opportunity for the power rental industry to grow in the region.

Major players in the power rental market, based on their developments, include Aggreko plc. (U.K.), Caterpillar Inc. (U.S.), APR Energy plc. (U.S.), Ashtead Group Plc. (U.K.), Cummins Inc. (U.S.) Atlas Copco (Sweden), Hertz Corporation(U.S.), Speedy Hire Plc.(U.K.), United Rentals Inc.(U.K.), Kohler Co. Inc. (U.S.), Smart Energy Solutions (UAE), and Generac Power Systems (U.S.) among others.

These players are trying to penetrate into emerging economies through various strategies such as contracts and agreements, investments and expansions, and mergers & acquisitions to increase market shares in these regions.
