LOS ANGELES & DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2020 / Grapefruit USA, Inc., ("GPFT", "Grapefruit" or the "Company") (OTCQB:GPFT) a California based cannabis distribution and manufacturing company, is announcing today that it has entered into a one-year extension of the previously-announced Private Label Cultivation Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into with a prominent indoor cannabis cultivator on January 28, 2020. This Cultivator utilizes a state of the art, indoor Canopy grow system in Los Angeles, California to produce premium grade cannabis flowers such as Gelato 33 and other exotic strains.

The cannabis market is experiencing a huge previously unseen demand for indoor-grown, high-grade, "exotic" cannabis flowers.

Grapefruit believes the newly extended Agreement as well as others under development will result in overall significantly higher revenues and margins from our distribution operations for the remainder of 2020 and early 2021. Margins will also be extended by the elimination of significant distribution operations one-time startup costs, non-recurring reorganization costs and elimination of legacy settlement costs. With this important step achieved, and our ongoing advances in the process of commercialization of the Company's patented disruptive Hourglass™ THC+Cannabinoid time release cream delivery system, Grapefruit continues to build momentum and advances toward its goal of becoming a leading, fully integrated Cannabis and CBD company."
In an unrelated development, Grapefruit is announcing that the Company's Advisory agreement with Mr. Justin Costello expired on August 16, 2020 and has not been renewed.
