Bryan Carson, VP of Operations von Naturally Splendid, sagte: Der Erwerb dieser Verpackungslinie bietet dem Unternehmen zahlreiche potenzielle Vorteile. Wir sind in der Lage, den Bestand und die Kalkulation viel effizienter zu kontrollieren, was zu höheren Margen führen kann. Die Lieferzeiten können nun besser verwaltet werden, wodurch es dem Unternehmen möglich ist, intensiv nach weiteren Einzelhandelskunden zu suchen. Ebenso wichtig ist es, dass wir in der Lage sind, zusätzliche Produktlinien wesentlich effizienter auf den Markt zu bringen und neue Produkte einfacher zu testen, wenn wir unsere eigene Verpackung kontrollieren. Es gibt auch umfassende Möglichkeiten, die Verpackungsdienstleistungen nicht nur ERSF, sondern auch vielen anderen Unternehmen anzubieten, die Naturally Splendid zusätzliche Aufträge bescheren können.

Für das Verpackungs-Equipment wird Naturally Splendid 1. den Leasingvertrag von ERSF hinsichtlich des Leasings des Verpackungs-Equipments (der Leasingvertrag) übernehmen. Gemäß dem Leasingvertrag muss Naturally Splendid bis Mai 2022 monatliche Leasingzahlungen in Höhe von 9.765 Dollar leisten.

Die Parteien haben vereinbart, dass sich der angenommene Wert der Leasingzahlungen auf 600.000 Dollar beläuft. Falls sich die gesamten Leasingzahlungen auf weniger als 600.000 Dollar belaufen, wird Naturally Splendid an ERSF die Differenz zwischen den 600.000 Dollar und den restlichen Leasingzahlungen in bar oder in Form von Aktien bezahlen.

Scheint ja voran zu gehen. Hoffe der Trend hält an, und es wird größer als ne Nische auf was wir da setzen. Schönen Abend allseits!

Ein schöner Bericht von der NS FB Seite

" Canadian producers working to meet growing overseas demand for 'superfood' hemp seeds Infomercials in South Korea bring hemp to store shelves in various forms CBC News 7 Hours Ago Garry Meier Meier, president of Hemp Production Services, says hemp has tremendous benefits when it comes to nutrition. (CBC) 200 shares Saskatchewan hemp growers and processors have been working to meet the exporting demand for the multi-use crop. Hemp is used in all kinds of products from paper to clothing but has found its calling for its use in nutrition and supplements. The market has been expanding in Europe and Asia and thanks to some hemp infomercials in South Korea, the product has made its way to the store shelves in various forms. With the product being on shelves, it opens up a new range of consumers who don't have time to sit around and watch infomercials on TV, Garry Meier, president of Hemp Productions Services, said of the growth overseas. Brad Wall to promote Sask. agriculture in China and South Korea Nutritional uses Meier says there are "tremendous benefits" when it comes to nutrition. The crop's biggest demand is seen in the sale of hemp hearts, which are just shelled hemp seeds. They can be added to food for an added source of protein, omega-3 and omega-6. Hemp is also used to make protein powders and as a replacement supplement for fish oil tablets. The amino acid and fatty acid composition in hemp has been identified as similar to fish by nutritionists, Meier said. "The demand quickly outstrips that supply," Meier said of fish market limitations. "Hemp is a very, very palatable, tasty way to substitute that, what they view is going to be a missing food group in their diet," Meier said of the expanding demand for hemp in Asian markets. The perception of North American food as "pristine" has helped stabilize the flow of hemp products, Meier said. "We anticipate that demand is going to continue to grow and we are making movements within the company on our processing side and also on our grower base side to try and grow to meet that demand." Brent Kennedy and Garry Meier Hemp hearts, shelled hemp seeds, are high in protein and omega-3 and omega-6 acids which make it a suitable substitute for fish oil supplements. (CBC) Hemp demand Dr. André Magnan, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Regina, is more cautious when it comes to the demand for hemp products. Magnan also attributes hemp's Asian popularity to greater global food fads. "At the moment, in places like South Korea, people are really looking to the health benefits of hemp seed and this is why there was quite an important sale of hemp products from Saskatchewan to South Korea," he said. Magnan classifies the hemp seeds as belonging to a group of "superfoods"— foods that become trendy in different markets such as kale, goji berries and chia seeds. "Any time there's a big sale or new market opportunity, it's always a positive signal to Saskatchewan farmers," Magnan said. The challenges of agriculture mean farmers often have to predict a season ahead of time which crop will be in demand, Magnan said. hemp seeds farmer growing ottawa Hemp hearts, shelled hemp seed, is largely responsible for the bulk of the demand due to its simplicity and diversity. (Hallie Cotnam/CBC) "They might do that on the hunch this market is going continue to grow but there's no guarantee demand will be as high as one predicts," he said of new products or newer form of production. Despite the risk, Magnan said he thinks it's still a positive signal. Despite being a very tiny part of Saskatchewan's agricultural production, hemp can act as a new tool in the repertoire of farmers. "I see it continuing to be a small niche but as the market becomes larger and demand increase, I think you'll see that form of niche production growing." The numbers According to Agriculture Canada, hemp exports have been increasing in the west for several years. Hemp exports from Saskatchewan grew by $1.2 million from 2014 to 2015. Manitoba has been the biggest exporter of hemp. There was more than $67 million worth of hemp exported from Manitoba in 2015. Saskatchewan exported more than $6 million and Alberta exported more than $2 million. Together, the western provinces made 89 per cent of Canada's hemp exports in 2015. Saskatchewan exports of hemp have been up for the second consecutive year, after some down years in 2012 and 2013. The province's hemp exports in 2011 were worth more than $5 million before dipping to $2 million and $1.5 million in those years. They jumped back up to $4.8 million in 2014 and increased again in 2015. Magnan says it's not uncommon for niche crops such as hemp to fluctuate in demand. "Demand is quite unpredictable, even though there are some signals it is increasing," he said. With a niche crop, which only accounts for a small fraction of Saskatchewan's production compared with big crops like canola, will see large swings in production over a short period of time, Magnan said.

Dann können wir ja nur hoffen, dass der kurs mal langfristig über die 0,20 geht und nicht immer direkt nach einem anstieg noch weiter zurückgeht - spaß macht saß nicht :)

Soso...Auf der Facebook Seite von Naturally Splendid also ein Bericht über Asien zu finden...Dann lassen wohl die nächsten Verkäufe in Südkorea nicht lange auf sich warten!

Schöner Bericht über die Hanf Aussichten!

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global hemp-based foods market is expected to post a CAGR of more than 20% during the period 2016-2020, according to Technavio’s latest report. Global hemp-based foods market is expected to post a CAGR of more than 20% during the period 2016-2020. In this report, Technavio covers the market outlook and growth prospects of the global hemp-based foods market for 2016-2020. The report also presents the market segmentation based on the type of ingredient used for manufacturing hemp-based food and beverages into three main categories which are hemp seed, hemp protein, and hemp oil. “The demand for hemp-based foods is rising, primarily due to the emergence of hemp as a superfood owing to high content of the two essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-3 and omega-6. These fatty acids are essential for tissue growth and metabolism. These essential EFAs cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet,” says Manjunath Reddy, a lead food research expert from Technavio. Nowadays, doctors and dieticians are recommending hemp-based food and beverages to their protein-deficient patients. Asia-Pacific (APAC) is anticipated to emerge as a lucrative market for hemp-based foods during the forecast period owing to the growing consumer preference for non-meat sources of protein. Specialists are also recommending hemp oil as it aids in curing terminal cancer, depression, and anxiety. Technavio’s food and beverage research analysts segment the global hemp-based foods market into the following regions: · North America · Europe · ROW North America: high gluten sensitivity in the region to boost growth The market in North America is expected to post a CAGR of over 18% during the forecast period. The market is driven by growing consumer preference for better-for-you food products due to the rise in the number of people suffering from food allergies, including gluten and lactose intolerances. According to Technavio analysis, North America dominated the global gluten-free food market accounting for a market share of approximately 55% in 2014. The demand for hemp-based foods will rise consistently in North America as hemp-based foods are gluten-free and the number of people switching to gluten-free diet owing to gluten sensitivity in this region is comparatively higher than in other regions. Switching to a gluten-free diet is challenging as it leads to higher risk of having deficiency of a number of nutrients such as zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and fiber. Foods containing hemp seeds and oil aid in countering such deficiencies and are gluten-free. Hemp is a good source of a number of vitamins and minerals, including zinc, magnesium, vitamin E, and iron. In addition, it is high in fiber, and thus supports the digestive system. In North America, hemp seeds are now used in a wide array of food products. Hemp seeds can be mixed into smoothies and sprinkled on salads and yogurt and hemp oil can be utilized to prepare gluten-free sauces and dressings. Europe: customer preference for healthier and nutritious food to promote growth The market in Europe is expected to post a CAGR of over 23% during the forecast period. Owing to increasing customer preference for healthier and nutritious food, food manufacturers in Europe are expanding their product lines with hemp-based foods. Hemp based foods are believed to have allergen-free and gluten-free qualities along with a high nutritional profile. During 2010-2015, Europe saw approximately 8% growth in the naturally healthy food and beverages market. Manufacturers such as JKT Foods supply hulled hemp seeds as a baking ingredient. In addition, hulled hemp seeds are used in large quantity in Germany by bakeries for specialty breads and pastries. As hemp is gluten-free, the demand for hemp-based foods is anticipated to rise during the forecast period. In 2015, about 12% of the new food and drink products launched in Europe were with gluten-free claim. In Europe, the number of people choosing to include more vegetarian items in their diet is rising. This is leading to an increase in the demand for hemp-based foods as hemp gets easily digested and absorbed by the body and contains EFAs in the ratio that best meets the body's requirements. In Europe, there is significant demand for drinks that act as substitutes for dairy-based drinks. In the UK, Braham and Murray's Good Hemp Milk Original and Good Hemp Milk Unsweetened are popular as they are made from 100% natural ingredients and are suitable for use in tea, coffee, shakes, and with cereals. ROW: APAC to emerge as the leading market for hemp-based foods The market in ROW is expected to post a CAGR of over 23% during the forecast period. In ROW, APAC is expected to emerge as the leading market for hemp-based foods during the forecast period. South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia are expected to emerge as the target markets in this region. Consumers in South Korea and most Asian nations are looking for alternative sources of protein and healthy oils as now they have become wary of fish after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan. Therefore, hemp-based foods are becoming popular. China, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia are a few countries in Asia where hemp cultivation is legalized. “Rise in per capita household income levels along with the rising number of health-conscious consumers will fuel market growth. Urbanization, with its influence on consumer lifestyles, has brought about changes in diet patterns,” says Manjunath. Consumers now prefer more protein and EFAs-based products of hemp. Canada Hemp Foods, Hempco, and Naturally Splendid are a few manufacturers supplying hemp-based foods to Japan, China, South Korea, and other Asian nations. The top vendors in the global hemp-based foods market highlighted in the report are: · Hempco · Manitoba Harvest · Mettrum Originals · Naturally Splendid ***** “Living in the sunshine” Always DYODD DKM Reply Quote Add Post To Favorites Follow Post Report abuse

Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. (FRANKFURT:50N) (TSX-V:NSP) (OTC:NSPDF) has achieved net income in the second quarter of 2016. The company announced that their unaudited Q2 revenue was $3,657,852 bringing their year to date 2016 revenue to almost $5.1 million, and should top $10 million in gross revenue by the end of Q3 if they continue at this pace. Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd is a multifaceted bio-tech company. The Company provides food supplements packaged for distribution through grocery stores, health and nutrition stores, and other outlets where consumers purchase health-related products. In the press release CEO Mark Goodwin stated, “This represents a new and impressive milestone for us, which we plan to build on through 2016 and into the future.” Speaking of the future, the company has a great head start on Q3 as well. According to their website, they already have two separate purchase orders for $1.42 million and $2.1 million that are to be filled in the third quarter. These two orders alone almost equal Q2 revenue so they should be able to continue to increase revenues next quarter as they export product to the South Korean market and also penetrate new Asian markets as a result of their efforts and inclusion in the BC Governments trade mission. The company was invited by the B.C. Ministry of International Trade to participate in an international trade mission to South Korea, the Philippines and Japan. The trade mission focused on trade and investment in key sectors and developing opportunities in emerging markets within the region and took place earlier this year. Goodwin also stated, “With exports, processing and our retail lines performing well, we now plan to focus more attention and resources to pursue the HempOmega® and cannabinoid markets.” According to the Naturally Splendid website, “HempOmega is a scientific breakthrough of Naturally Splendid Enterprises. HempOmega is a homogenous powder created from microencapsulated, 100% Canadian hemp seed oil. It is a high-quality and sustainable omega fatty acid alternative ingredient. Due to its unique powder format, it solves the formulation challenge manufacturers face when trying to add oil to existing products and has proven to increase the bioavailability of omega fatty acids. HempOmega is the first born in a generation of plant-based bioactive ingredients that Naturally Splendid is expanding upon.” Anyone who takes the usual fish oil based omega supplements will tell you that big downside in that product is the the taste, even if it’s in capsule form. It has a tendency of reminding you that you just took in a fish oil based product. HempOmega’s formulation eliminates that problem. HempOmega was also shown in a University of Manitoba study to increase the omega content in eggs laid by chickens who were supplemented with HempOmega by 637%. Also, the omega content of the chicken’s thigh meat showed an increase of 372% along with a decrease in saturated fats. The company lists some comparables in their investor presentation and one can’t help but be optimistic when you read through them. Burton NutraScience (TSX:BU) – has virtually no revenue and a market cap of $98 million CDN. Neptune Technologies (TSX:NTB) – has a market cap of about $100 million CDN. Vega – supplement company purchased for $550 million USD on June 10, 2015. Manitoba Harvest – hemp company purchased for $132 million USD on June 8, 2015. Naturally Splendid is on pace to do well over $10 million CDN in revenue this year, has just achieved positive net income, has less than 60 million shares outstanding, and is sitting with a market cap of under $18 million CDN. I think an argument could be made that they are a bit undervalued, don’t you?

Jep..Ist auf der Watchlist. Glückwunsch zum Anstieg dort. Ist mir aber zu heiss...bleibe bei NS und true leaf!
