[b]$MJNA[/b] has a strategic unparalleled advantage to capitalize on this market in the form of its partnership with CannaBANK ("CB"), a global hemp investment firm specializing in the capitalization, development and acquisition of hemp based businesses. These companies have a broad, diverse and significant shareholder base. CB's parent company is Hemp Deposit and Distribution Corporation which is a major shareholder of MJNA.
Strategically this is advantageous to the company because CB locates, capitalizes and covers the majority of the expense in sourcing and developing these companies from due diligence through acquisition. Once developed, the asset is then transferred to the MJNA portfolio. To date CB has one of the most extensive databases of national and international marijuana and hemp laws, bands, moratoriums, approval processes, licensing requirements and the history within each country, state, county and city. The company actively tracks more than one hundred and fifty public and private companies who have expressed interest in, have invested in or are developing hemp based products. Its database also includes over five thousand hydroponic stores, three thousand dispensaries, collectives and delivery services as well as other supporting businesses such as online sales sites.
MJNA currently has the following divisions and subsidiaries;
Dixie Elixirs and Edibles ("DEE")family of products consist of six unique and carefully formulated product lines of well over forty medicinal hemp infused products including medicated beverages and tonics, hemp capsules, medicated lozenges and edibles, as well as a full line of topicals and salves as part of the Dixie botanicals line of products which was recently featured on National Geographic's series American Weed.As one of the World's most recognized medicinal hemp brands, Dixie is currently in over 400 retail locations in Colorado alone and expanding rapidly.

The Hemp Network ("THN") is a division of MJNA that sells hemp products directly to thousands of hemp network distributors. The company, since a change in management had occurred, has been upgrading its website, sales tools, communication managers and product array for the re-launch of The Hemp Network 2.0 in the first quarter of 2012. THN has five proprietary products and is currently in negotiations to acquire several other online hemp sales and community sites, these sites, products and members will be integrated into THN portfolio, enabling THN to expand its product and distributor base significantly. Membership benefits include an affiliate option, a multi-level marketing option where members can earn an income from buying and selling products. THN also serve as a platform from which other products from other companies can be launched.
HEMP Compounds ("HC") is a division of MJNA focused on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical and nutraceutical raw materials market. The division is actively sourcing specific hemp genetic profiles. These profiles include hemp strains with low or no Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) properties, to strains with high levels of Cannabidiol (CBD). HC is currently negotiating the purchase of several proprietary genetically altered varieties as well as the agricultural production facilities. The HC materials can then be added to existing products sold to or through THN, or directly to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies. In conjunction with CB, HC is in the final stages of negotiations for the purchase of additional suppliers of genetics and the raw base material for additional production it the hemp based compounds such as Cannabidiol (CBD).
MMI Technology ("MMIT") is seeking investment opportunities in cloud based information technology solutions, sales sites and feeder sites specifically in for the cannabis and hemp industry. Leveraging CB's in depth database on all subjects related to hemp and cannabis. MMIT is working with strategic partners to develop the most comprehensive information source ranging from hemp and cannabis strain usage, crop cost, crop cycles, history of genetics, origins of genetics, efficacy, strain stability, climate and yields. MMIT is currently in negotiations for the acquisition and roll up of several technology solutions that are serving the needs of the medical and industrial hemp markets. In addition to the cloud base information solutions MMIT is also negotiating the purchase of several online sales sites that service the equipment, product, and hydroponic markets.
MMI Biotechnology ("MMIB") seeks acquisition opportunities in biotechnology and equipment that service the needs of the hemp agricultural and medicinal technology industry. This includes hemp extraction methods, processes techniques, technology as well as equipment. In conjunction with CB, MMIB currently has an equipment development and manufacturing company it is underwriting for a possible purchase.
Wellness Managed Services ("WMS") is a wholly owned subsidiary of MJNA that acquires management services contracts for medical clinics and is currently under contract to purchase several hydroponic stores. The sellers of the stores have a few options: one option is to stay on as a store partner-operator, the second option is to sell the store completely and be hired on as a manager and the last is to simply sell the store to WMS without any long term management requirements. Once acquired WMS will control its supply, technology, accounting, marketing, advertising and most important its purchasing power. WMS stores will have a significant advantage over non WMS stores, because WMS stores will have a single source for purchasing products and will receive a larger discount price from a single or small franchise chain, WMS will be able to offer a wider selection of products. The stores will have joint inventory management systems, joint online sales site and as MMIT acquires additional online sales sites and feeder sites, those sales, products and services will eventually be funneled to the WMS online sales site which jointly handles inventory, financing and shipping. WMS currently has two medical management contracts, the first has nearly seven thousand patients, and the second has nearly twelve hundred patients. WMS is actively negotiating additional agreements.
CannaFuel is currently underwriting several hemp bio-fuel and alternative to coal burning bio-mass opportunities. It is important to note that as we develop our other businesses, such as HEMP compounds or products developed for THN, the waste produced is a high-value bio-mass, which yields when converted to bio-fuel nearly three times as much per acre as conventional corn based ethanol. As well as being a high value bio-mass product for bio-fuel, this waste also is a great alternative to the coal fire energy plants. Coal with its non-renewable, non-sustainable and non-ecofriendly attributes can be replaced by a renewable, sustainable, ecofriendly and even in some cases carbon negative, hemp.
The Pet Hemp Emporium ("TPHE") is a division of MJNA that has developed and owns everyday pet products, consisting of everything from hemp leashes to hemp beds and hemp based bio plastics that are much more suitable for pet use then conventional products that are petroleum (oil) based. The company is in negotiations with several online retailers of hemp animal products as well as the manufacturer of these products.
