DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2019 / Freedom Leaf Inc. (OTCQB:FRLF), a Nevada corporation, d/b/a Freedom Leaf Health, is pleased to announce that its newly acquired subsidiary, ECS Labs LLC ("Green Lotus"), completed its inaugural shipment of $600,000 of topical hemp-CBD products to Mexico on July 31. These products will be distributed by Green Lotus' Mexican partner, CBD Life SA, initially in up to 4,000 locations and expanding to over 40,000 locations over the next 12 months.
This represents the first commercial shipment of retail products that can be distributed in Mexico through regular distribution channels, requiring no additional government approvals or medical certifications. The initial shipment includes three SKUs of 3-ounce CBD creams labeled "Heat", "Freeze", and "Salve". Every product label will also include "manufactured by Green Lotus".

"We are very excited that Green Lotus is the first U.S. hemp-CBD company that has successfully exported commercial products to Mexico under the new permit regime," said Carlos Frias, CEO of Freedom Leaf. "We have worked hard over the past three years with our Mexican partner, CBD Life SA, and the government to obtain the necessary permits and meet the regulatory requirements to reach this milestone. This is just the beginning of our penetration of the Mexican market. We will ship another $1.4 million of topical products in the third quarter and we expect to start shipping tinctures, gel caps, edibles, and beverages beginning in the fourth quarter as part of a larger $26mm order already placed with Green Lotus."
David Goldburg, Merida Capital Senior Partner and Chairman of the Board, added, "One of the reasons we were so excited about the Green Lotus acquisition is the ability of Carlos Frias and his team to penetrate new international markets. As a first mover in Mexico, we have an opportunity to be one of the largest players in this emerging market with significant opportunities for growth. This also validates Merida's investment thesis that the Freedom Leaf-Green Lotus combination will significantly enhance revenue domestically, open new markets, and lead to increased market share, benefiting all shareholders as management continues to execute on its strategic plan."
Carlos Frias and his team are focused on building a best-in-class hemp CBD CPG company led by its two flagship brands, Green Lotus and IrieCBD. As discussed in the June 4 press release announcing the closing of the Green Lotus acquisition, the company has made significant progress to date integrating the Freedom Leaf and Green Lotus businesses, which has resulted in material cost savings as well as opening up opportunities for the combined businesses to further grow. The company will provide additional details in its next earnings release and shareholder call.
