HUMBOLDT, CA--(NewMediaWire - Feb 24, 2015) - Easton
Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTC
PINK: EAPH) discloses existing Medicated Markets Revenues
from medical marijuana operations totaling more than $2,000,000 in
fiscal 2014; provides clarification on other items.
Easton Pharmaceuticals has been provided with revenue numbers
from Medicated Markets from its medical marijuana operations in
California for 2014, revealing revenues that have surpassed
$2,000,000. These sales numbers relate to the past year and are
derived mainly from sales to dispensaries as shown in past invoices
@medimarkets. The invoices exhibited are just a sample, and as such
do not represent all sales made.
Responding to many similar type questions posed, Medicated
Markets does not sell direct to patients and has no retail
locations. Total harvested marijuana is sold on a wholesale level
to licensed dispensaries in the greater Los Angeles region. These
dispensaries are open to marijuana prescription holders only.
Operations are expected to be ramped up following anticipated
investments to infrastructure, which are to be derived from
proceeds from its transaction with Easton pharmaceuticals and other
possible investment options and sources. With infrastructure
upgrades, Medicated Markets can increase the number of plants grown
from the current number of 1200, to 10,000 plants, which are tiered
to harvest on a weekly basis following a 70-100 day variable cycle
based on strain. 2014 yield from plants were approximately 1500
lbs. In 2014 medicated markets donated approximately 10% of its
production to financially strained patients on a compassionate
basis.
As previously disclosed, Medicated Markets projected $32,000,000
in potential sales for fiscal 2015 if many conditions were met
including optimal selling and growing conditions including yields
from additional purchased property. Please note this figure is
based on January 2015 pricing. Prices have ranged from $1350
to $2000 per pound in 2014 and can significantly affect sales and
profits and as such amended revenue range is provided below.
In January of 2015, prices had spiked to $2185 increased for
medicinal marijuana In California, which was the estimate used to
derive sales numbers. Using adjusted conservative numbers of only 1
pound per plant as a yield and $1350 which was the lowest price
sold for in 2014 after upgrades to property, Medicated Markets
would yield $13.5 million for 2015 or $3.37 million quarterly. If a
conservative SG&A of 30% were used, it would result in a profit
of $2.359 Million of which Easton would be allocated 40% ownership
or $943,000 per quarter. This is nearly a 100% Return on equity
paid for in restricted shares in 1 year of operation.
Medicated Markets were provided an initial upfront cash payment
and issued "rule 144 restricted shares" (which are in escrow till
maturity) and not free trading shares. These shares were valued at
.02 giving the transaction a value of $4,000,000.
Many have noted negative trading activity in Easton
pharmaceutical stock in the month of February. We believe it is
Marijuana sector related and highly influenced by certain
happenings with another sector related company ( FITX ).

unfortunately made much later than initially planned due to changes
