Anaheim, CA, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a health and wellness company focused on special purpose real estate acquisitions, licensing and property management of facilities conducive to produce high-end, organic cannabis products and services in California, announced today its Financial Report for the first quarter of 2021 and provides update on permit application process for its affiliate company Estrella River Farms (“ERF”).

Bill Hodson, CEO of LiveWire Ergogenic states, “The national cannabis market is clearly moving towards legalization for medical and recreational use, but at the same time the application process to become a legally operating cannabis cultivation facility has become considerably more complex, expensive and lengthy. California has taken the lead and requires an excruciating amount of information from the companies that apply, carefully scrutinizing every possible environmental and legal rule and regulation from the State level all the way down to local communities, to establish a well-regulated and controlled cannabis industry with products consumers can trust.”

The entire state of California is in a drought – so the navigation and registration through multiple State agencies that protect the waterways and supply chain has been the biggest and time-consuming challenge. This very involved process has been complicated by the fact that there are quite a few different agencies involved on several different state and local levels and that there is not one standard platform yet for coordination or standardization of the process between these agencies to expedite the process. Recognizing this complexity, Governor Newsom is now proposing to centralize three of the leading agencies into one, the California Department of Cannabis Control. This change is expected to result in an expedited process for all compliant applications.

Hodson continues, “Fortunately for Estrella River Farms, we feel the company is at the tail end of this process that was started roughly twenty months ago. Having said all that and considering that Estrella River Farms has not begun the cultivation process yet, we were still able to report reasonable financial results for the first quarter of 2021. We have managed to finance and enable the build-out process of Estrella River Farms to near completion and are ready for ERF to get “plants in the ground” the moment they have final approval from the State and County. Accordingly, first harvest and generation of revenue will follow quickly thereafter.”

“We are also proud to report that we have achieved all this without having to secure large amounts of additional outside investment and accordingly have been able to avoid unreasonable share dilution. We expect all of this to be reflected in our future share price once this initial property is fully up and running. We would also like to express our appreciation for the support and understanding from most of our shareholders and our new investment partners that are continuing to support us every day.”

Results of Operation

We focused the majority of our efforts during the three months ended March 30, 2021 on the application process to assist in the required conditions of approval for the Estrella River Farms operation. For the first quarter, we had revenue of $83,000 as compared to $141,815 in the same period in 2020. All revenues in the first quarter 2021 were generated through rental, licensing and the management of intellectual and real estate properties. As a consequence of this absolute focus on streamlining operations, we have been able to reduce our loss for the first quarter of 2021 to $338,794 compared to a loss of $2,063,480 for the same period in 2020, an improvement of $1,724,686. Funds required to this stage were raised via our SEC approved Reg A Offering Circular, the details of which are filed with our Q1 2021 Fiancial Report on OTC Markets.
