Agriculture in Southern Africa

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (UNDESA), the world's population is projected to grow from approximately 7.0 billion to more than 9.5 billion people by 2050 with more than half of this growth projected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where one-quarter of the population is currently undernourished. It is estimated that world food production will need to increase at least 60% by 2050 to meet the expected food demand. These needs must be met without gaining any resources, such as land or water, but also with a declining labor force on the farm as economic advancement leads to decreases in agriculture employment. Modern farming and new agriculture technologies that optimize resources and increase efficiency are the answer. Through its focus on acquisition and investment in the agriculture sector in Southern Africa, the Company will:

  • Create a diversified agribusiness production and value-added processing platform with a strong export focused off-take model
  • Deploy an experienced management team with decades of experience and a track record of operating commercial scale agribusiness assets
  • Provide diversity structured to marginalize intra-portfolio correlation risk for commodity output
  • Provide geographic diversity within Southern Africa to manage operational and weather risks
  • Focus on high margin business lines including crop types with structural supply deficits
  • Exploit the current dislocation in Southern African markets
  • Leverage strong BEE relationships
  • Focus on assets with high water security
  • Incorporate sustainability through Global GAP and best practices

The first blueberry crop of some 15 hectares in size was planted in 2014/2015 (80,000 plants) and the first harvest was in 2016. Avinier has secured an off-take contract with United Exports for the entire harvest and concluded agreements to export berries to Tesco/Sainsbury (UK) and Pick'n Pay/Woolworths (South Africa). Avinier has implemented a quality control system (Global Gap) on the farm to ensure consistent product quality even during winter months and thereby ensuring consistent supply throughout the year. Further to this, Avinier has also been certified TN10 (Tesco Quality Systems) and SIZA (Sustainability Initiative of South Africa). Avinier will increase its blueberry growing operations from 15 to 45 hectares utilizing the investment of PMR.

ELI Investment

ELI Agri (Pty) Ltd ("ELI") was established in 1996 and supplies agricultural business solutions to a range of clients in Africa and the rest of the developing world. The ELI mission is to incorporate diverse teams from various backgrounds to provide practical and cost effective solutions to primary and agro-processing industries. ELI conducts in-depth assessments of agri-businesses and for those businesses that meet required criteria, ELI will also embark on the implementation of turnaround strategies to support the clients back toward commercial viability, if required. A good mix of commercial and pioneer farming enterprises have been supported with turnaround implementation. The valuable experience generated in the turnarounds has assisted ELI in differentiating between the root causes and symptoms of under-performance in the agricultural sectors.

PMR and ELI will be working together to resurrect land claim farms, under-developed farm land, farms seeking for recapitalization and to upgrade agricultural packing and processing facilities. These investments will enable agricultural supply chains from source to market.

The Company will create a Special Purpose Vehicle ("SPV") to facilitate further external private equity financing targeting agricultural investment in Southern Africa. The SPV will facilitate investment in partnership with Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment initiatives and investment partnerships. The South African land claim farm process had a very negative impact on South Africa's commercial farming. At one time, the farming industry was the country's largest employer and contributed over 40% of the country's annual GDP. Since 1994 the country has lost 40% of its commercial farmers and has now become a net importer of food products and agricultural commodities. There are more than 6.9 million hectares of land claimed farms. These farms were previously commercial ventures and today few are run as commercial farms. www.eli.co.za

Pursuant to the letter of intent (the "ELI LOI") executed on September 15th, 2016 between PMR and ELI, PMR will complete a R2,875,000 (CA$267,000) equity investment (the "ELI Investment") in ELI giving PMR a twenty-five percent (25%) equity interest on a fully diluted basis and PMR will advance a R5,750,000 (CA$535,000) loan facility to ELI (the "ELI Loan"). The proposed terms and conditions of the ELI Investment will be subject to the terms and conditions to be set forth in a formal agreement which is to supersede the ELI LOI (the "ELI Formal Agreement").

Upon completion of its due diligence, PMR will provide a R700,000 (CA$50,000) refundable loan to ELI which on closing of the COB Transaction will convert to capital stock in ELI on the terms of the ELI Formal Agreement. This refundable loan along with the Aldwych Engagement Agreement, will trigger a 120-day exclusive period for PMR to complete the ELI Investment. This 120-day exclusive period will be extended for a further 30-day period if the regulatory approvals process requires more time to complete.

Immediately following completion of the ELI Loan, PMR will have security over the assets of ELI. The proposed terms and conditions of the ELI Loan are entirely subject to the terms and conditions to be set forth in the ELI Formal Agreement. The proceeds of the ELI Loan will be allocated as follows:

  • Leverage funding from additional/matching sources including a pre-approved ZAR4,000,000 planting production capital facility (subject to land acquisition/leases)
  • Finance the increase in the operational team to support the approved projects
  • Finance further investment opportunities

Pursuant to the ELI Formal Agreement, ELI's board of directors will consist of 4 directors (unless the parties agree otherwise), with PMR nominating one quarter of the directors annually. Quarterly, the Board will approve a business plan and quarterly budget. Exceptions to the quarterly budget will require written approval of the Board.

GrowBuddy Investment

Growbuddy Inc. ("GrowBuddy") is a software as a service (SaaS) company founded in 2012 by Daniel Starbuck, Timothy Delight, and David Standard, that provides technology services and social community services to cannabis cultivators, an industry formerly cloaked in secrecy. GrowBuddy is built for growers by growers. Although GrowBuddy respects anonymity, the company's community model focuses on converting a user's investment into revenue streams that are based on the sale of ancillary products and services, contextual advertising and subscriptions for premium data and analytical services. GrowBudddy is building an online knowledge base for the cannabis cultivation community. Through datamining the knowledge of its community, GrowBuddy continues to add services and features that cater to the needs of that community.

The GrowBuddy ecosystem provides value for every size of grower from the small grower with a few plants to the large commercial facility cultivators with thousands of plants. The GrowBuddy SaaS application provides a standardized method to track and optimize the cultivation process from seed to sale producing consistently higher yields and product quality. Growbuddy currently has almost 17,000 users.

New features include the GrowBuddy Case Files. This addition brings community sharing and question and answer exchange to the ecosystem and solves one of the biggest issues growers face today: the lack of credible information and valuable feedback on growing plants.

GrowBuddy continues to add revenue driven features including the GrowBuddy Marketplace where GrowBuddy is affiliated with Monster Gardens to fulfill customer orders. The Marketplace is being expanded to include grower-to-grower transactions, where premium users/expert growers can post their detailed grow and nutrient schedules/records from seed to harvest for sale to the GrowBuddy community.

The Marketplace will also be the primary distribution channel for GrowBuddy to market and sell its proprietary nutrient formulas currently being developed in conjunction with a leading corporate cannabis cultivation company in Nevada. This proprietary nutrient system is being developed using cutting edge leaf tissue analysis allowing formulas to be catered to specific strain types.

Future plans included integration with data acquisition hardware sensors in the growing facility where the application programming interface ("API") will provide the means for hardware sensors to save data and retrieve settings directly allowing for automated sensor data recording and analysis and making it easier for GrowBuddy premium users to ensure proper data acquisition and storage. In future GrowBuddy will be able to tie this cultivation data into the logistics and retail software systems for cannabis distributors and provide qualitative analytics to the end consumer. www.growbuddy.com

Pursuant to the share purchase and share put agreement (the "GrowBuddy Agreement") dated August 24th 2016, among the shareholders of GrowBuddy, GrowBuddy and PMR, the Company has agreed to acquire an initial 25% of the fully-diluted issued capital of GrowBuddy for US$1,165,000 in consideration by making the following installments (where installments 2 through 9 accrue subject to the closing of the COB Transaction):

For an additional 5% ownership Within 18 months of the Closing Date $165,000

The first installment of US$50,000 is advanced as a refundable loan pending the closing of the COB Transaction and if the COB Transaction does not close these funds will be repayable to the Company from the next financing completed by GrowBuddy. The Company will forfeit 1.5% of its cumulative ownership in GrowBuddy if the Company fails to make an installment payment on or before the due date other than those Installments delayed due to a required regulatory approval and the Company will be granted a 30-day period from the due date of any installment to cure a breach of the GrowBuddy Agreement due to the failure to make an installment payment on or before the due date. The obligation of the Company to purchase the GrowBuddy Shares in the amount and for the price outlined in the GrowBuddy Agreement shall be conditional on certain milestones being achieved by GrowBuddy and in the event any milestone is not achieved the Company percentage ownership in GrowBuddy will be increased by an additional 1.5% upon making the respective installment payment. Upon the Company having acquired 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowBuddy, the shareholders of GrowBuddy will have the right at their option to require the Company to acquire from them pursuant to a share exchange, an additional minimum 15% (in addition to the ownership then held by the Company) of the then issued and outstanding shares of GrowBuddy with the valuation of the GrowBuddy shares set at a 10% discount to the value determined by a third-party valuator appointed by agreement of the parties and the value of the Company's shares determined by the preceding 10-day volume weighted average closing price (VWAP).
