optimizing sales through innovative marketing that increases
consumer brand awareness and loyalty;

Developing international
expansion through licenses, partnerships and other arrangements
with leading retailers and wholesalers outside the United States;
and
-
Acquiring consumer brands (or
the rights to such brands) with high consumer awareness, broad
appeal and applicability to a wide range of product
categories.
The Company’s business is designed to
continually build upon and add to the value of its brands through
license agreements and partners that are responsible for
manufacturing and distributing its licensed products. Its brands
are licensed for the Cannabis space and it seeks to select
licensees who have demonstrated the ability to cultivate,
manufacture, produce and sell quality products in their respective
licensed categories.
