By Financial Press -- According to New York based Transparency
Market Research the global nutraceuticals market will reach $204
billion by 2017 - fueled by health obsessed baby-boomers - who
still ski and play competitive sports into their 60s and 70s.
Abattis Bioceuticals (CSE:ATT) (OTCQX:ATTBF) is a vertically
integrated nutraceuticals company focused on monetizing natural
health products from 'seed-to-sale'. An investor, aggregator and
incubator, ATT addresses the entire commercial lifecycle of a
variety of medicinal plants.
The company owns a portfolio of intellectual property including
15 proprietary formulas, seven registered US trademarks, two patent
applications, over 500 Internet domains, and global rights to a
Vertical Automated Growing System.
Abattis is active in the Canadian medicinal market place through
its involvement with two Medical Marijuana Production applications
and one Controlled Substance Dealer license (CSL) application with
Health Canada.
"We have deeper technical knowledge and more ambitious financial
goals than your average bio-tech company," stated ATT CEO William
(Bill) Fleming in an exclusive interview with Financial Press,
"Through ownership and partnerships we maintain control over the
complete product development process - including botanical
research, extraction technology and drug delivery
technologies."
ATT's diverse product pipe-line includes an innovative vertical
growing system called 'BioCube' which provides a controlled
cannabis cultivation environment for high yield marijuana
growing.
Made with lightweight fireproof anti-microbial materials the 308
ft2 BioCube can grow up to 960 cannabis plants - compared to only
100 under conventional conditions. Recommended for indoor and
outdoor use, BioCube's low cost smaller housing promotes strain
separation and provides insurance against mass crop failures.
"BioCube is a compact efficient method of growing plants in
urban environments," stated Fleming, "Since there are no
restrictions on the equipment, we plan to sell it to companies in
both Canada and the USA."
The fully automated system is ideal for boutique-packaged,
pesticide-free organic herbs, fruits and vegetables. It features a
touch screen, software-based air-flow, irrigation and lighting
system.
"Early estimates show that a single BioCube could yield the same
amount of produce as an acre of dirt in the Midwest," states
Fleming, "It uses about 20% of the normal amount of water and
because the environment is controlled there is no need for
pesticides. The BioCube product is and will always be a
work-in-progress whereby new technologies and customer demands will
continuously define the product specifications for varying industry
verticals."
ATT's vertical integration could induce a nose bleed. The
tentacles of the company reach every link on the nutraceuticals
value chain. As an example, its retail distribution arm owns Flash
Freeze Extraction technology targeted to develop THC and CBD
oils.
Part of Abattis' future product roadmap is to use 'waste
streams' such as stems and leaves to create natural health products
and pharmaceuticals.
On February 10, 2015 Biocell launched a marketing initiative to
deliver Hemp-based nutraceutical supplements to the licensed health
care provider marketplace.
"There are four major pathways for nutraceutical distribution,"
explains Biocell's Brazos Minshew, "The top tier is always the
professional marketplace targeting licensed healthcare providers.
The physician or other licensed provider then makes the
determination as to whether or not the nutraceutical will benefit
the patient." Minshew explains that other distribution channels
include Direct Response advertising (including Internet sales),
Direct Sales associations and the Retail marketplace, including
brick-and-mortar vitamin stores, pharmacies or dispensaries. "Our
nutraceutical products are potent, powerful extracts of classic
herbal medicines," states Minshew, "For example, Actaea racemosa is
known to reduce nerve pain and pain associated with arthritis, as
well as anxiety."
Biocell's marketing announcement follows an agreement reached
with Empirical Labs for the exclusive use of patented liposome
technology. Liposomes are related to transport molecules that
dramatically improve nutrient absorption into the cells of humans
and animals, making herbal remedies even more powerful and
effective.
"Our next step is to license these nutraceuticals with Health
Canada," states Fleming, "And then to craft training literature for
the doctors. We are anticipating product launches in Q2, 2015."
Abattis is gaining traction in the mainstream media. A 2014
Forbes article titled, '8 Hottest Publicly Traded Marijuana
Companies' stated that, "Abattis provides cultivation systems,
extraction equipment, and consulting services to growers. The
company raised $3 million in private placements this year, and went
on an acquisition spree."
Savvy institutional investors are also placing their bets on the
ability of Abattis' ability to generate profits in this burgeoning
multi-billion dollar market.
February 04, 2015 Abattis announced that it had entered into a
US $25 million equity line facility agreement with Dutchess
Opportunity Fund which provides capital to start-up, pre-IPO and
publicly-traded companies. Since 1996, Dutchess has made over 400
investments globally, with a total transaction value exceeding $2
billion.
"As one of the most active institutional investors in
cannabis-related enterprises, we are excited to add another to our
portfolio," stated Dutchess principal Douglas Leighton, "We remain
very optimistic regarding Abattis' current business, its
significant growth opportunities and the ability of Bill Fleming
and their team to deliver."
Fleming says that is he going to use the proceeds from the
Dutchess financing arrangement to fund the continued development of
the Company's strategy spanning the entire industry supply chain
from seed to sale. "The additional funding will allow us to push
forward with our acquisition and growth strategies of our services
and products," confirmed Fleming.
"Our goals for 2015 are for Abattis to become the largest
vertically integrated Plant Based Medicine Company in North
America," states Fleming.
The ArcView Research Group predicts that the North American
cannabinoid market will surge from $1.53-billion in 2013
$10.2-billion in 2018.
Abattis is currently trading at .16 with a market cap of $11
million.
