KALY Confirms Acquisition, Assets, Contracts, Products and Partnerships


DALLAS, Dec. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE --  Kali, Inc. (Kali, Inc. dba/Kali-Extracts, Inc.) (USOTC: KALY) (“KALY”) today announced a letter to shareholders to further confirm recent announcements from the company and to outline measures underway to update its public disclosures.  On November 15th, the company announced the acquisition of NCM Biotech in a transaction that changed the business direction of the company.  Prior to that acquisition, the company’s previous business focus on marina management had languished.  In addition to the marina management business not advancing as originally planned, the company had fallen behind in the timely filing of the disclosures required by OTCMarkets. Accordingly, OTCMarkets had posted a “stop-sign” icon on the KALY OTCMarkets page to warn investors that the company was not current in its required filings and to take appropriate precautions in investment decisions associated with KALY.  Yesterday, December 13, 2018, OTCMarkets updated its precautionary notice regarding KALY to a Caveat Emptor icon to further raise investor precaution in regard to investment decisions associated with KALY.  The letter today is intended to confirm the recent announcements made in conjunction with the November 15th acquisition and the company’s corresponding new business direction, in addition to addressing efforts underway to bring all KALY’s required disclosures current with OTCMarkets standards.  The letter is included in its entirety below.

From Current CEO Charles Yawn With Introduction Of Incoming CEO Frederick Ferri

Dear Shareholders and Interested Investors:

I am encouraged by the caliber of KALY’s recent acquisition and enthusiastic about the new business direction.  I love boating and marinas and I’m disappointed that our marina management business did not flourish as anticipated.  However, I believe the rapidly evolving legal cannabis sector is a marketplace rich with opportunity and that KALY’s recent acquisition will be much more than a mere consolation prize for shareholders.  I am pleased to introduce the incoming CEO, Frederick Ferri, the founder of NCM Biotech and the individual behind the patented cannabis extraction technology that is now a KALY asset as a result of the acquisition of NCM Biotech announced on November 15th, just less than one month ago:

Kali Inc Acquires Patented Cannabis Extraction Operation Entering $50 Billion Pharmaceutical Market and $8 Billion Concentrates Market

I am staying with KALY as the Chairman while Mr. Ferri assumes the CEO position to lead the new cannabis extraction business operations.  My ongoing role is to support Mr. Ferri with my public company management experience permitting Mr. Ferri to concentrate on the operational development of his cannabis extraction business plan.

Mr. Ferri is moving fast in the execution of his business plan.  He has fostered a business relationship that he brought with his company NCM Biotech, that KALY acquired.  NCM Biotech had licensed its patented extraction process to Puration, Inc. for the production of a CBD infused beverage called EVERx.  Now KALY is working with PURA to produce new CBD infused beverages.  PURA has engaged KALY to make custom hemp-derived CBD extracts for a private label CBD infused water that PURA will produce for a client pharmaceutical company:

Kali-Extracts Inc. Announces $300,000 Contract to Produce Hemp-Derived CBD Extract for Puration Inc.
 
KALY has also entered a joint venture (JV) agreement with Puration and two additional partners to develop partnerships with pharmaceutical companies for the ultimate purpose of developing cannabis based pharmaceutical products:

The JV has already entered into its first agreement with a pharmaceutical client company.  The client company is the same company for which PURA and KALY are producing a private label CBD infused water.  KALY is already preparing to file for additional patents in conjunction with existing research it has conducted with its current patented extraction process.  The additional patent filings are intended to support the JV’s objectives:

In an effort to develop sustainable near-term revenue, KALY has initiated an effort to produce its own line of CBD candies and vapes targeting the wellness market:

KALY has come a long way in the last month since the acquisition of NCM Biotech. We were already behind on our disclosures with OTCMarkets with the languishing of our marina management business.  All the progress in the last month without rectifying previous delinquencies, can only exacerbate OTCMarkets concerns on behalf of investors. 

We plan to have the past-due filings updated promptly.  The filings are already prepared to be filed.  I confess that part of the current delinquency was due to being behind on our OTCMarkets bills.  I am happy to say we are now current on payments to OTCMarkets and expect to begin updating filings today.

To supplement the precautionary warnings issued by OTCMarkets, I want to conclude by pointing out that even when KALY finishes updating all its past-due filings, which we expect to do by no later than close of business on Monday, all those filings will only include information on the languishing marina business. The updated filings will include very little information on the new cannabis extraction business.  The new business information will be a topic of future filings with OTCMarkets.  In the meantime, it will be important for investors to look for supplemental sources of information.  For instance, from KALY press releases and from the new KALY website – www.kali-extracts.com

In an effort to provide further information on KALY’s new business, we have engaged an independent analyst to compose a research report on the company.  Yes, we are paying for the research and the conclusions of the analyst are subject to the scrutiny that KALY management may have influenced the analyst’s conclusions.  I will tell you that is not the case.  We will not interfere with the analyst’s independent analysis.  You can decide whether or not to believe me.  In any case, the analyst’s report will include a detailed description of the company’s assets, contracts and developments that will provide investors consolidated information on the company that is likely not available in a single source anywhere else.  We will post the analyst report on the company’s website.  We expect to have it by the end of next week.

Thank you for your time, interest and attention.

Sincerely,
Charles Yawn
CEO and Chairman
Kali, Inc.
