ADOMANI(R) and San Diego Energy District to Promote Clean Electricity Future

CORONA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / ADOMANI, Inc. (OTCQB:ADOM) a provider of new zero-emission, purpose-built electric vehicles and drivetrain solutions, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic alliance with the San Diego Energy District (SDED) in order to accelerate the realization of a clean energy economy. SDED's mission is to move toward a clean energy economy through achieving 100% renewable, locally-generated electricity throughout California, initially focusing on the San Diego and Southern California areas. SDED and ADOMANI also intend to evaluate sponsorships, zero-emission vehicle demonstrations, pilot deployments and other collaborative opportunities. A goal of the alliance is for SDED to provide direct introductions to forward-thinking, environmentally conscious businesses that utilize commercial fleet vehicles in their operations that could be replaced with ADOMANI zero-emission electric alternatives, and build brand awareness in the global green community SDED serves and advises. ADOMANI will provide vehicles in person or via video conferencing for events and demonstrations in California communities where SDED identifies opportunities.

"This is an exciting development for ADOMANI, as we believe we can help SDED meet their goals by getting our cutting-edge, technologically-advanced zero-emission all-electric products in service through their introductions and branding assistance, while benefiting our stockholders as well" said Jim Reynolds, President and CEO of ADOMANI. "In addition, we will help fleets that want to lower their TCO (total costs of ownership) and related operating costs."

"The decision of the California Air Resources Board to accelerate the adoption of electric commercial vehicles implies that commercial vehicle operators should become knowledgeable of the choices available to them like ADOMANI" stated Lane Sharman, Executive Director of the San Diego Energy District. "We intend through our webinars, conferences and pilots to demonstrate that ADOMANI is an electric vehicle supply choice that every buyer should consider in order to make an informed decision."

About ADOMANI®

ADOMANI, Inc. is a provider of new zero-emission electric vehicles and is a provider of zero-emission electric drivetrain systems for integration in medium to heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles, as well as re-power conversion kits for the replacement of drivetrain systems in combustion-powered vehicles. ADOMANI's zero-emission electric vehicles are focused on reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership and help fleet operators unlock the benefits of green technology and address the challenges of traditional fuel price cost instability and local, state and federal environmental regulatory compliance.

About San Diego Energy District

The San Diego Energy District exists to speed the 100% clean electricity future, primarily through creation of Community Choice energy programs, which they believe to be the quickest to implement and the most affordable means of achieving their goals. SDED believes that the current system of regulated monopoly utilities is outdated and is slow to respond to smart energy use and decentralized generation. They believe the optimal partnership is one between Community Choice, where people select the generation provider or source, and the utility, who still gets paid to operate the wires efficiently.

BioLargo Resilient Through COVID-19 Pandemic, Clyraguard Sales Ramping Up

Including Highlights from BioLargo's Second Quarterly Report of 2020

WESTMINSTER, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, provided an overview today on recent highlights for its business units. This overview coincides with the filing of BioLargo's 10-Q Quarterly Report with the SEC for the period ended June 30, 2020 (www.biolargo.com/sec-filings).

Highlights include:

Clyra Medical Technologies launched Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray, a safe, effective, FDA-registered disinfectant designed to decontaminate medical devices such as face masks and other personal protection equipment (PPE). The product has been met with great enthusiasm, and sales are ramping up.
As part of a multi-phase product roll-out plan, Clyra secured a $1 million inventory line of credit and formed relationships with three contract-manufacturers that are actively producing Clyraguard. Distribution partners for Clyraguard are just beginning sales activities, having recently received their initial inventory. Given the sales achieved in recent weeks and volume of orders in process, the company expects to report substantial revenue increases from product sales in the third quarter of 2020. Company management reports that its current manufacturing resources are capable of producing up to one million Clyraguard units per month before it would need to expand with additional contract manufacturers.
BioLargo Water will soon start the first commercial project for its AOS water treatment system, which will be funded by government grants and its client and is expected to generate more than $500,000 USD in revenue over the life of the project.
BioLargo Engineering manufactured a medium-scale demonstration pilot prototype of the BioLargo AEC, the company's per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) water treatment technology. The company will start two field demonstration pilots of the AEC in the coming months.
ONM Environmental (formerly Odor-No-More, Inc.) is restarting multiple capital projects that were on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was recently notified of an award for a project valued at approximately $130,000.
BioLargo's company-wide revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $418,000 and $856,000, which is a 2% decrease and 8% increase over the same periods in 2019. Sales at the company's operating divisions decreased at the start of the pandemic, but are now rebounding.
BioLargo continues to strengthen its balance sheet as it converts approximately $3,500,000 of debt to equity since December 31, 2019 through August 2020.

BioLargo President & CEO Dennis P. Calvert commented, "In the COVID-19 pandemic, we demonstrated our resiliency as we managed to maintain stable operations, cleaned up our balance sheet, developed and launched a brand new product (Clyraguard) to help frontline workers battling the pandemic, and made multiple adaptations to be a strong solutions provider in a global pandemic. We're now seeing our hard work translate to increasing sales. We have a number of new relationships with distribution partners that we plan to share more information about as they begin selling Clyraguard. While the commercial opportunity for Clyraguard is immediate and has the potential for significant commercial success, the rest of our technology portfolio continues to advance, and we remain confident about their future."

California Gold Announces Realization of Revenue from Sale of CBD Isolate

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / California Gold Mining Inc. ("California Gold" or "CGM" or the "Company") (CSE:CGM)(OTCQX:CFGMF) is pleased to announce the realization of revenue from the sale of the first tranche of CBD Isolate produced from its wholly-owned hemp biomass, as per the sale agreement announced on January 29, 2020.

Details of the sale are as follows:

Total quantity of CBD Isolate sold in this first tranche is 71 kilograms;

Total revenue generated is US$248,500;

Sale price is US$3,500 per kilogram of CBD Isolate;

Cost of Goods Sold associated with the production and sale of CBD Isolate is approximately US$2,450 per kilogram; and

Gross Margin from the sale of this first tranche is 30%.

CGM's current inventory of bulk hemp-CBD products equates to over 1,250 kilograms of CBD Isolate. Following the sale of this initial tranche, the Company's management expects to complete sales of successive tranches on a regular basis until the entire inventory of CBD Isolate is sold.

California Gold's President and CEO, Mr. Vishal Gupta stated, "For a junior company that has never realized any meaningful revenue in its entire history, the completion of this first sale is a truly extraordinary feat. What makes today's announcement an even more impressive achievement is that the Company was able to generate a Gross Margin of 30% on this first sale despite the devastating price compression that the US hemp-CBD industry has been reeling from since last December."

Mr. Gupta goes on to say, "We have had a significant delay in achieving our sales objectives, primarily due to the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic in March. Our toll-processing partners in North Carolina suffered crippling restrictions to their extraction and isolation operations as a result of the continually high COVID-19 infection rates in the state. Some of those restrictions were eased recently, which allowed the CBD Isolate production to re-start at their facility, culminating in the completion of our first sale. We plan to complete sales of additional tranches of CBD Isolate on a regular basis going forward."

Management expects to complete the sale of a second tranche of CBD Isolate in the next 15 days. The Company's Board of Directors continues to investigate the economics of purchasing additional batches of hemp biomass in order to produce and eventually sell additional refined products once the sale of the current inventory of refined products is complete.

Tetra Bio-Pharma and Mondias Enter Into Final Agreement For The Purchase Of Lumiera Health Innovation Inc.

MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Mondias Natural Products Inc. (TSXV:NHP) (the "Company" or "Mondias") specializing in evidence-based natural products for the healthcare and bio-agriculture markets and Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. ("Tetra"), (TSX-V:TBP) (OTCQB:TBPMF), a biopharmaceutical leader in the discovery and development of cannabinoid-derived therapeutics are pleased to announce they are entering into Definitive Agreement for the purchase of Lumiera Health Innovation Inc. ("Lumiera") as previously announced on July 23, 2020. The agreement will be submitted to Mondias Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held September 14, 2020. If approved, the expected closing date for the transaction will be on or around September 30, 2020.

In connection with the Definitive Agreement , the Company will, among other:

Redeem or convert all of its outstanding convertible notes issued in February 2020 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount owing pursuant to such notes plus all applicable and unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the date of the transaction; and
issue new common shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lumiera Health Innovations Inc.; and
amalgamate its wholly owned subsidiary Laboratoire Holizen Inc. and Lumiera (following the share exchange),
The Company will undertake to change its name from "Mondias Natural Products Inc./Produits Naturel Mondias Inc." to "Lumiera Health Innovations Inc." because the new name better reflects and describes the business of the Corporation following the proposed transaction.

The Definitive Agreement is subject to the completion of an equity financing of a minimum of $1,000,000 by means of private placement by Mondias, of which $500,000 has to be completed concurrently with the closing of the transaction, as well as a $2,000,000 convertible debenture by Lumiera, which will be assumed by Mondias on closing of the transaction.

The proposed transaction was unanimously approved by the Mondias' and Tetra's board of directors (with Mr. Guy Chamberland abstaining, as he is a director and officer of Tetra as well as one of the shareholders of Mondias). In doing so, the Board of directors of the Company determined that the transaction is fair to the shareholders other than the interested parties, is in the best interest of the Company, and it authorized the submission of the Definitive Agreement and related transactions to the security holders for approval. The Board also unanimously agreed to recommend to the Company shareholders that they vote in favour of the proposed transaction.

Full details of the transaction and related transactions will be included in the Company's Management Information Circular which is expected to be mailed to security holders in August 2020.

Purpose and Business Reasons for the Transaction

The Board considered the historical and current information concerning Lumiera's business, financial condition, including Lumiera's operations, management and competitive position, the prospects of Lumiera and its product candidates, the nature of the industry generally, including financial projections of Lumiera under various scenarios and its short- and long-term strategic objectives and the related risks, and believe that the acquisition of Lumiera would create more value for Shareholders in the long-term.

The proposed transaction is highly complementary and further positions the Company for success, by adding new clinically proven solutions in natural health products and pain relief solution in larger addressable market (North America and worldwide). Lumiera also comes with an experienced team in pharmaceutical and natural products commercialization (manufacturing, sales & marketing, commercial operations) with products in commercialization phases assorted with an attractive products pipeline.

The proposed transaction will allow the Company to acquire the intellectual property rights owned by Lumiera in the fields of chronic pain and inflammation markets. The Board's belief, based in part on the judgment, advice and analysis of the Company's management with respect to the potential strategic, financial and operational benefits of the proposed transaction (which judgment, advice and analysis was informed in part by the business, technical, financial, accounting and legal due diligence investigation performed by the Company and the Company's legal advisors with respect to Lumiera), that Lumiera's product candidates represent a sizeable market opportunity, and may provide new health benefits for the population and returns for investors.

The Board also considered the experience of Lumiera's management, marketing and scientific teams. The proposed transaction would also allow the Company to gain complementary competencies by gaining new employees with core expertise in the natural product industry.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Lumiera for a purchase price of $1,280,000 million (the "Transaction Price").

Item 9 Labs Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2020 Results

Record Revenues and Quarterly Growth of 43% Alongside Reduced Operating Expenses Leads to 70% Improvement in Operating Loss to $0.2 Million and Continued Margin Expansion

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQB:INLB) ("Item 9 Labs" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated cannabis operator that produces premium products, announced today the Company's operating and financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Key Financial Highlights for Q3 FY 2020

Revenue increased 43% to $2.2 million over Q3 FY 2019
Operating loss decreased 70% to $0.2 million
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue declined from 108% to 57%
Adjusted EBITDA loss declined 91% to $0.04 million

Management Commentary

"It has been an eventful past several months, as our production and demand for our products grew in Arizona," commented, Andrew Bowden, Item 9 Labs's Chief Executive Officer. "While most companies have been negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have been more fortunate than most due to the fact that our cannabis products remain in high demand in Arizona."

Bowden, continued, "We expect revenues to continue to grow as the trends are positive month over month. At the same time, we have been able to lower costs since March 2020 and expect to see margins increase over the next several months. As we focus on increasing revenue, reducing expenses and performing more efficiently, our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 108% to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We believe this ratio will continue to decrease going forward as our expectation is that revenues will continue to grow at a higher rate than operating expenses as we have our sights on turning EBITDA profitable."

Bowden concluded, "In addition to continued growth in Arizona, we are extremely excited about our expansion to Nevada and our pending acquisition of ONE Cannabis Group and its global dispensary franchise strategy. Our team is poised to execute on this expansion and believes it will add significant value to our shareholders. I couldn't be more personally excited about our future and believe we are well-positioned for future success."

Growth Initiatives

Arizona

Item 9 Labs currently offers more than 300 products that are grouped in the following categories: flower, concentrates, distillates, and hardware. The Company's product offerings will continue to grow as it develops new products to meet the needs of the end-users. Its products are available to consumers through more than 60 licensed dispensaries in Arizona.

The Company has expanded its Arizona facility and increased its production in the nine months ended June 30, 2020 to meet increased demand for its products.

Nevada

Item 9 Labs acquired cultivation, processing and production licenses in Nevada in early 2020, to go along with its Pahrump, Nevada land acquisition in 2018 to establish its expansion into Nevada. As of June 30, 2020, the licenses have not been transferred to the Company as the transfer is awaiting Nevada regulatory approval.

ONE Cannabis Group

Items 9 Labs expects to close its acquisition of OCG, Inc. ("ONE Cannabis Group") near the Company's fiscal year end of September 30, 2020. ONE Cannabis Group is the parent company to the cannabis dispensary franchise Unity Rd. The merger was previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange on March 2, 2020. The parties are currently in negotiations to finalize certain necessary amendments to the merger agreement and completing the condition precedents and compliance-related matters. The merger with ONE Cannabis Group greatly enhances the Company's business capabilities with its retail distribution.

The Company has been able to lower costs since March 2020 and expects to see gross margins increase over the next several months.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $1.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or 24%, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to the Company's focus on increasing revenue, reducing expenses and performing more efficiently. Management believes this ratio will continue to decrease going forward as the expectation is that revenues will continue to grow at a higher rate than operating expenses.

Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 70%, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

GoooGreen, Inc. Enters the Sports Gaming Advice Industry With the Acquisition of VegasWINNERS, Inc.

Company Secures Financing From Clickstream Corporation to Expand Operations

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / GoooGreen, Inc. (OTC PINK:GOOO) announces it has acquired VegasWINNERS Inc., a Nevada corporation which provides sports fans, sports betting enthusiasts, the highest quality analysis, research, data, guidance and professional advice, from celebrity Las Vegas sports gaming consultant, oddsmaker and businessman Wayne Allyn Root, and a team of some of the world's leading sports handicapping experts. The VegasWINNERS Inc. business model capitalizes on two hot business trends – the explosion of online gaming and the legalization of sports gambling.

According to Grandview Research, the global online gambling market size was valued at USD 53.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% from 2020 to 2027. The high internet penetration and increasing use of mobile phones among individuals for playing online games from their homes and public places are driving the market. In addition, factors such as easy access to online gambling, legalization and cultural approval, corporate sponsorships, and celebrity endorsements are also contributing to market growth. The growing availability of cost-effective mobile applications across the globe is further expected to fuel market growth.

The Covid-19 pandemic has also added to the attractiveness of online gambling – introducing bettors to a new way of gambling from the safety of their home, office or mobile device, without entering a casino or sports stadium, or having to touch paper money.

Wagering on sports, including but not limited to the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, UFC, PGA, Soccer and NASCAR, as well as college sports (primarily football and basketball) are national pastimes for millions of sports enthusiasts. Historically, betting on sports was only legal in the State of Nevada and/or bets between friends, and those willing to bet illegally. In 2018, the United States Supreme Court decision allowing States to legalize sports betting has changed everything, creating tremendous opportunity. Twenty-two states plus Washington DC. have already legalized wagering on sports and, all but five states have legislation pending to allow it.

Terms of the deal included Clickstream Corp. (OTC Pink:CLIS) providing a $350,000 Secured Loan to GOOO for GOOO to acquire 96.5% of VegasWINNERS, Inc. and in return, CLIS purchased an option to acquire 14,901,200 of the current outstanding 17,842,925 shares of GOOO common stock for $175,000.

Frank Magliochetti, CEO of Clickstream, stated, "We've known of Wayne for years and believe VegasWINNERS will dramatically and positively impact the sports gaming industry. We are incredibly pleased to be able to help GoooGreen take VegasWINNERS to the next level and see this as a tremendous opportunity for Clickstream."

Tom Terwilliger, CEO of GoooGreen, Inc. stated "I believe this acquisition is strategic, especially during these times when life has gone online – viral. VegasWINNERS provides a needed portal for sports fans and bettors to stay connected and to invest in the games they're watching and the teams they love."

Wayne Allyn Root, CEO of VegasWINNERS stated, "What VegasWINNERS does is simple. Now that sports gaming has been legalized in over twenty states, there are millions of new sports gamblers. We supply the winning picks and research that these sports gamblers need. We intend to build a world-class database of sports gamblers, a database that should quickly prove valuable to casinos, sportsbooks and public gaming companies."

ABOUT GOOOGREEN, INC.

GoooGreen, Inc. (OTC Pink:GOOO) through its operating subsidiary VegasWINNERS, Inc. is engaged in the business of sports gambling research, data, advice, analysis and predictions utilizing all available media, advertising formats and its database of users. Revenues are expected to accelerate due to the explosion of sports handicapping arising from the 2018 Supreme Court decision that States have the right to approve sports gambling and the resulting State by State rapid approval of sports gambling.

Charlie’s Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

PMTA Initial Submission Is On Schedule and On Budget for the End of August

COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in both the premium, nicotine-only, e-cigarette space and the hemp-derived, CBD wellness space, announced today the Company's financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Key Highlights for Q2 2020

Increased sales mix to distributors
Increased participation from distributors and retailers in volume incentive programs
Added margin from direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of CBD products
Stabilized manufacturing costs

Premarket Tobacco Application ("PMTA")

Initial submission is on schedule and on budget for the end of August
Nearly $5 million spent over two years to prepare submission
Partnership with Blackbriar Regulatory Services utilizing numerous contract research organizations to analyze, compile, and publish necessary data
Submission to include scientific data and analysis along with clinical studies
Initial data finds no red flags to report

Management adopted a 15% reduction in pay for May and June 2020 and reduced personnel across several departments which resulted in approximately $170,000 of savings during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Management Commentary

"While we continue to experience industry headwinds from the nationwide vaping concerns and the uncertainty brought on from the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken the necessary steps to stabilize our manufacturing costs and reduce our operating expenses," stated Brandon Stump, Chief Executive Officer of Charlie's.

Stump, continued, "we remain focused on differentiating ourselves by being an early mover with our preparation for the submission of our PMTA. While the deadline to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has been pushed back to September 9, 2020, we continue to compile more data and remain on track for our submission by the end of August, thanks to our partnership with Blackbriar Regulatory Services. In fact, we recently received minimal comments on our early data submission. We strongly believe our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance, is a huge differentiating factor for our Company."

Stump, concluded, "we feel that the nicotine based flavored vaping products will continue to be a significant growth opportunity, once all the rightful regulatory changes have been made. We will continue with our plan to obtain marketing authorization for certain of our products through the submission of a PMTA. We expect the total cost associated with our preparation and submission of these PMTAs will total nearly $5.0 million spent over the past two years. In addition, we are evaluating the potential returns associated with obtaining marketing authorization for our other nicotine based vaping products after the September 2020 deadline. We feel that a significant amount of our competitors will not have the resources and/or expertise to complete the extensive and costly PMTA process and that once complete, we will be able to benefit from being one of only a select group of companies operating in the flavored nicotine product space. Finally, we believe the strength of our initial PMTA submission will create opportunity for additional SKUs to be taken through FDA approval. Whether it is through yet another robust PMTA submission or proving substantial equivalence, we look forward to taking additional products through FDA approval."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
