15 Reasons Why Hemp Producer Elixinol Should Be in Your Portfolio 
Contributed Opinion 

https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2018/12/17/15-reasons-why-hemp-producer-elixinol-should-be-in-your-portfolio.html

Frederick Lacy 
With the U.S. government legalizing hemp in the recently passed 2 
018 Farm Bill, Fincom Investment Partners profiles a hemp company 
whose largest market is the U.S. 
CBD Oil 

Elixinol is the least known of the Big Three pure-play, public CBD companies. 

U.S. federal government just legalized hemp—first time in 80 years. 
+++++ Q3 revenue up 159% Y/Y and 27% over prior quarter. 
Profitable. 
Elixinol offers significant value compared to cannabis peers. 

Elixinol Global Ltd. (EXL:ASX; ELLXF:OTCQX) is a U.S.-focused, 
publicly traded, 
"pure play" hemp manufacturer, 
85% focused on CBD. Investors with interest in hemp/cannabis, 
or wellness—and growth—may consider adding Elixinol to their portfolio. 

We believe CBD is part of a massive growing trend away from strong "meds" (like opioids) into more natural, less invasive health options. 

CBD (non-intoxicant) "cannabidiol" market is booming. 
CBD is a cannabis related-compound, 
but does not contain 
THC (the "high" component in marijuana). 

There are no psychoactive effects, only natural health benefits. 

Numerous research studies show wide ranging benefits including inflammation, 
pain, 
anxiety, 
arthritis, 
diabetes, 
PTSD, 
infections, 
epilepsy, 
depression, 
alcoholism and 
MS. 

We argue CBD is bigger than cannabis. 

We believe more people are interested in improved health—than 
in getting "high"—certainly, on a daily basis. We hope. 

This author's family has been in the nutrition and vitamin business 
for the past 40 years; 
70% of customers walk-in with complaints relating to pain, stress or sleeping. 

Our experience indicates the over-the-counter (OTC) market is real 
and enormous 
— market size estimates for CBD range wildly, 
but "bigger than cannabis" is good enough for us. 

CBD "grows" on you. CBD benefits appear to increase as people age. 

We suspect this may relate to the 
"holy grail" of medicine, 
oxidative stress. 

The "European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics" 
(January 2019) concluded: 

"Precisely due to this lack of psychoactive effects, 
CBD is doubtless the most auspicious phytocannabinoid for the 
treatment of various pathologies, namely inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, 
mental disorders, 
neuropathic pain, 
epilepsy and 
cancer." 

Hemp/CBD is now U.S. federally legal for the first time in 80 years. 

On January 1, the 2018 Farm Bill becomes effective. 

Hemp has been removed from federal schedule 1 controlled substance classification, 
a bi-partisan effort championed by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. 

We expect significant near-term media and investor attention; 
this is a true milestone. 

Doors open for banks, corporations. 

Already several giants, 
including Coca-Cola and 
Walmart, 
have publically expressed interest in the CBD "wellness" market. 

We think "everybody" will get involved, in some form, like 
Pepsi, 
Walgreens, 
Whole Foods and 
dozens of others. 

CBD is mostly sold in mom & pop stores today, 
so the enormity of the "next phase" has yet to begin. 

https://c.stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=ELLXF&p=D&b=5&g=0&i=t5243368819c&r=1544573573644 

Note the recent spike in volume. Elixinol was invited to the recent Cowen Cannabis Summit; 
and did just two days of institutional investor meetings. 

While too early to call a trend, 
our thesis remains institutional investors are just beginning to discover CBD 
and will be attracted to the Elixinol value proposition.

Better odds with CBD. 

We find only three 
"investable," public, 
pure-play CBD companies having significant sales. 

The Canadian government lists 132 authorized cannabis producers. 

Who will pick the winner? CBD is easier—one can easily bet all the good horses. 

Elixinol focuses more on the wholesale side, 
selling to many other CBD companies who then re-package the oil, 
while 
CWEB and 
CVSI sell mostly at independent nutrition retailers. 

All 3 are profitable, 
with strong growth, 
quality products, relatively similar sales and earnings, 
and all sell for a fraction of the big Canadian cannabis companies. Whole Foods is not going to sole-source. Neither should you. 

Cramer does hemp. 
This recent article 
(see link) from CNBC's Jim Cramer's The Street.com 
http://www.thestreet.com 
is one of what we suspect becomes a flood of press anticipating 
January 1, 2019, hemp legalization. 

We believe this a "tell" in that this flawed article, with glaring errors, means (to us) that CBD has "legs"—the press has yet to clue in, 

although we agree it is nice they did choose to quote Elixinol's Gabriel Ettenson. 

Furthermore, we note if the CBD sector does anything close to the 
40X growth (by 2022) as projected, CBD stocks are going seriously higher. 

Hemp/cannabis "action" moves from Canada to U.S. Our suspicion 
the October 17 Canadian legalization was a "sell the news" 
event looks prophetic. 

For investors participating in any form of cannabis/hemp, 
we believe the best opportunities are in the U.S. 

We further believe the Canadian cannabis public valuations and "earnings" multiples are beyond insane. 

U.S.-focused CBD looks optimal, to us. 

Better read the fine print. Cannabis pumpers were celebrating the 
recent Altria (see below) investment in Cronos. We wonder what they 
are smoking. 




Altria (Phillip Morris, 
the Marlboro maker) only pays tobacco farmers around $2 a pound. 

It varies, 
but tobacco farming, 
the highest paying major crop, 
only earns around $1,500 per acre. 

For example, that means the "poster child" of over-valuation, 
Tilray, 
which has been crashing, 
but still worth $8 billion, 
could earn a whole $3,600 a year on their whopping 2.4 cannabis acres 
(a nice-sized back yard) under cultivation. 

We agree there is some marginal difference in various strains, 
etc., and know the THC and CBD content in the flowers have value, 
but it's nowhere near worthy the hype. 

The USDA (Sept. 2018) reports U.S. tobacco crop planting alone at 321,000 acres. 

Do the math. Marijuana farming supposedly yields over $1 million per acre. Investors have to be idiots to think farmers won't switch. 

Plus, it grows all over the world. 

Investors should stick with value-added manufacturers as both a 
better relative value and timely set-up. 

Potential supply shortage. Hemp oil requires a larger product input; 

it will take farmers several cycles to scale up for any significant demand jump. Elixinol, 
which has been growing and marketing hemp and CBD in the US since 2014, is well aware of the supply situation. 

The company has been lining up supply channels, worldwide, for expansion.

Well cashed. Elixinol has about US$40 million in cash and is deploying to expand production and marketing. 

We foresee no immediate financing need. For investors, 
we believe that regardless of whatever happens in the stock markets, 
CBD is here to stay, and Elixinol has cash to grow. 

Better business model. Elixinol had, by necessity, 
begun as a vertically integrated manufacturer, but farming is a tough, low margin business. 

CBD is a manufactured product, an oil, which is a value-added process that takes care and skill. 

Hemp is only an input product. We believe this is the "sweet spot"—it's the manufacturers, 
not growers, who have margin power. 

Big Liquor and Big Tobacco do not pay farmers the fortunes cannabis growers seem to expect.

Cannabis prices declining. Anybody can grow it, all over the world; 

cannabis has been grown in India for at least 4,000 years. 

Early cannabis states, Oregon, for example, 
legal since 2015, 
now have high quality cannabis prices in Portland as low as $75 an 
ounce ($2.65 per gram) (source: http://www.priceofweed.com). 

The corollary is that lower input prices (hemp/cannabis) actually strengthen Elixinol's oil margins. 

Stick with the bigger, better names. 

Sadly, both nutrition and penny stock worlds attract charlatans 
like pigs to mud. We know schemers will be out in force. 

We suggest investors (and CBD users) completely ignore the wannabes 
and pumpers; stick with the bigger, better quality CBD manufacturers. 

Excellent sales growth, profitable. Elixinol is profitable, 
which is a nice plus, 
given the rapid growth —Q3 revenues were A$10.4, up 159% Y/Y 
and up 27% over 2Q 2018 

Experienced Management. Founder Paul Benhaim has been in the hemp industry since 1996. 

The company possess a deep understanding of the issues and 
structure of the hemp/CBD market, its supply and processing, and 
is beefing up the sales team for anticipated consumer demand.

An "unknown" U.S. entity. 

Although Elixinol is technically an Australian (ASX listed) company, 

84% of sales are in the US. 

Elixinol is positioning for future growth in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, 

but we believe Elixinol qualifies as a "U.S. pure-play" 
and presently offers an opportunity for investors to "discover" 
Elixinol early. 

The company has expressed a desire to "uplist" to NASDAQ or NYSE. 

Valuation comparison 

We believe if cannabis investors start looking at the numbers, 
sober, CBD stocks become "no-brainers". 

Elixinol trades around a US$ 210 million market cap 
(Issued shares 125 million, including 78 million lock up shares due 2020), 
while Cronos (CRON) who recently grabbed headlines with a major investment from 
Altria (Phillip Morris) trades for $2.3 billion 
(before including the Altria $1.8 billion investment). 

In the September quarter, 
Cronos had an operating loss of $4.9 million ($7 mm net loss) 
on only $3.8 million in sales. Elixinol was profitable, 
with 2X the sales at $7.6 million (AUD/USD rate converted at 0.73), 
but Elixinol trades for 1/10 the value. 

We wonder what Altria execs were smoking—Cronos doesn't even post financials or news on its website. 

Risk Factors 

This is a fast moving market and subject to violent market changes. Volatility is off the chart. 


Be careful. Shares of Elixinol primarily trade, 
and are listed, in Australia. 

Liquidity may be an issue for other investors. Elixinol trades on 
the OTCQX market and there is no assurance of ultimate uplisting 
by the NYSE or NASDAQ, 
or if even this is necessary with Elixinol being the number 1 IPO of 2018 of all Australian companies. 

Like all of the cannabis industry, there are plenty of competitors; entry barriers are low. 
Elixinol has an early lead, 
long experience in hemp, and possesses talent to maintain competitive advantage. 
Nevertheless, increased competition is a certainty. 

There are numerous state and federal agencies still weighing in on 
CBD as a food. No assurance can be made that some agency will attempt 
to deny CBD sales, 
even though hemp/CBD becomes federally legalized with the 2018 Farm Bill. 

We see the largest near-term risk as a pinprick bursting the bubble 
of other cannabis stocks, especially Tilray and many other insanely overvalued Canadian companies. 

Investors tend to "sell everything" when capitulating, so volatility 
may remain strong even if the CBD market continues to expand. 

Management is probably spread too thin. A global company, and 
based in Australia, 
anyone would have inherent difficulties managing U.S. operations, 
which account for 81% of Elixinol sales. 

The president of the U.S. operations represents the second largest shareholder in the company, 
so it is not a major issue. Our conversations with management 
indicate the company is well aware of this and actively seeking 
to build staff, 
but it remains a risk factor if the company can't act fast enough to capture opportunities. 

Frederick Lacy, President of Fincom Investment Partners, 
began as a Chicago commodity broker in 1984. 

In 1987 he joined Bateman Eichler, Hill Richards in Los Angeles, focusing on small to mid-cap equities, 
ultimately "retiring" in 2000 as a Managing Director of Investment Banking. 

Mr. Lacy has been involved in numerous investments, 
from arranging start-up capital for what became Petrohawk, 
which sold for $15 Billion, to mobile payments in India. 

Several long-time clients were founding investors of Cheniere Energy. 

Mr Lacy's decades in California technology includes arranging an 
early $13 million VC financing for "permanent ledger" software 
(now commonly known as "blockchain") led by top-tier fund Upfront Ventures. 

Other investments include 3D holographic display technology, 
early mobile applications, power conversion, along with multiple consumer health-related products: 
Canadian Glacier bottled water, 
Kinetin skin cream, a proprietary oxidative-stress formula, and 
UV purification systems. 

In 1989 Mr. Lacy hosted "the Venture Capitalist" which aired on 
(now) CNBC, a 
nd has followed the natural foods industry for 35 years.
