Executive Summary

Legal Marijuana:
The Fastest Growing
Industry in the US
In the past few years, the medical marijuana and hemp
industry has gone from a fledgling cottage conversation to
the fastest growing industry in the United States with revenue of $1.5 billion in 2013 to $2.7 billion in 2014 - an impressive 74% year over year increase (Huffington Post, 2015).
Many states have adopted legislation that for the first time
in history legalize marijuana use for medicinal and recreational purposes, defining the difference between industrial
hemp and marijuana containing the psychoactive chemicals
associated with THC, and seeking to limit the powers of
federal agencies that govern the plants production and
distribution as a controlled substance.
As a result of the changing tides of public opinion and
regulatory policy, the industry is experiencing rapid
expansion on a geo-centric basis according to state law.
The conversation has moved from an anecdotal user-base
to a market data-driven analysis about how to finally
capitalize on the many powerful uses of the plant once
thought to be the brightest agricultural boon in the world.
While some temper their optimism with a splash of caution
for regulatory and legalization at the federal level, its
hard to imagine a scenario that weakens the momentum
generated in the past year.
In fact, if the legalization trend continues, most experts
expect the industry to balloon to over $40 billion in the
US and surpass the organic food industry by 2019, while
globally the expectation is over $100 billion worldwide.
(Economist, 2014)
The following Executive Summary for Field of Greens, a
NOW Corporation Company (OTC: NWPN), highlights
the business plan to capitalize on these exciting trends.

Business
Model
Field of Greens (FG) is a Colorado Corporation
organized to farm, produce, develop, and commercialize industrial and recreational hemp, using new, innovative technology and systems. The
Company was initially capitalized in its formation with the addition of 500 acres of farmland
in Colorado contributed by one of its founding
members. Of the many products derived from
the marijuana crop, the Company has elected
to produce CBD oil by extracting Cannabidiol (CBD) from the plants. Cannabidiols are
chemicals that are unique to the hemp plant and
have been shown to safely affect receptors in the
central nervous system when consumed. Some
of the current medicinal uses of CBDs include:
cancer, heart disease, as an anti-inflammatory,
dermatological diseases, degenerative diseases (like Alzheimers and atherosclerosis), high
cholesterol, and as an anti-oxidant, among many
others (Medical News Today, 2014).
This strategic business decision also allows for
immediate legal production and distribution
to nearly all states in the US as it contains little to
no psychoactive ingredients that create barriers
for commercialization. FGs Hemp oil will have
a high concentration of the CBDs with low THC
levels of less than .3%, thereby meeting all State
and Federal requirements in this area so as to
be able to legally sell our products throughout
the United States.
In order to scale efficiently and expand operations, FG will maximize land use in Colorado
and then look to other states like Washington,
Oregon, and Alaska, where the regulatory and
legal climate has already paved the way for
industrial hemp business.

The
Opportunity
The Company has an advantageous position of
owning farmland in one of only 4 completely
legalized states for medicinal and recreational
uses of Marijuana in the US. It has organized a
publicly held corporation for commercialization
of its business plan and is going to market for
first round financing amidst the best market for
marijuana-based products in the history of the
US at a time when demand for hemp and hemp
derivatives is growing at a clip that outpaces all
other industries.
In order to fund the build out of our first Hydroponic facility, the Company is seeking $1,000,000
in startup capital. The Use of Funds is as follows:

Conclusion
Seldom do such transformational market
conditions emerge and mature so quickly as what
we are currently experiencing in todays medical
marijuana and hemp industry. To be sure, there
are still many hurdles to overcome as each state
optimizes taxation, the impact of black market
sales on competition, and federal oversight.
But the first movers in Colorado, Oregon,
Washington, and Alaska are proving to be agile
enough to adapt to evolving market conditions
and optimize policy for the mutual benefit of
their tax base and the businesses emerging in
this nascent industry. From a macro-economic
perspective several factors are combining to fuel
the industrys explosive rise, which by nearly all
accounts is still in its infancy of growth.
Not unlike the days of prohibition of alcohol in the US, demand has been artificially
suppressed or forced into the shadows of the
black market by legal reforms.
The known uses and superiority of the hemp
plant for textiles, paper, and healthcare products by far outnumber even the most versatile
crop of any kind on the planet.
Recent discoveries of legitimate medicinal
benefits are making headlines every day and
paving the way for eased legislation, especially where non-psychoactive industrial hemp
plants are concerned.
In the United States, marijuana has actually
spent more time being legal than illegal, having been only prohibited in 1937, thus creating generations of pent up interest on both
sides of supply and demand.
Deep industry experience through an advisory board for the manufacturing, harvesting,
and distribution of hemp oil products.
Use of Hydroponic and distillation extraction innovations to increase crop yields,
accelerate harvest, and reduce environmental
footprint
of each facility.
