Market Potential & Keys To Success

Below is a map of the states that are currently considering or already have a

marijuana friendly environment.

Oregon is a newly legalized untapped market, we would like to establish a

Market Segmentation & Local Demographics

Current Patient and Revenue Statistics

According to Pros and Cons Dot Org., United States has roughly 2.5 million patients

nationally. While that number seems relatively low there 2.5 patients estimate for

approximately $1.5 Million in revenue, according to the U.S. Government, and that

number is said to quadruple within the next decade.

Patients will not be our only customers. Most legal dispensaries, will buy a variation

of product at wholesale prices to resale to its patients. This is another untapped

market for Alternative Organic Solutions, Inc.

There are multiple ways to generate revenue. Alternative Organic Solutions, Inc. will

obtain patients by referral, through Department of Welfare, MMJ Night Clubs, and

Compassion Clubs. We can also obtain medical clients who participate in medical

marijuana treatment plans, we will be able to wholesale our products to other

dispensaries acrossed America. Another way to generate revenue is to actually

provide delivery services for patients that are incapacitated. After all thorough

projections, and low overhead considerations, we can easily see a Gross Profit

Margin at a consistent 80%.

job market consist of 7,500 to 10,000 jobs consistently.

The state of Washington will see a return of $190 Million over the next 4 years.

California Dispensaries receive an average annual tax revenue of $105 million, while

the Arizona market grew from $35 Million to $140 Million over the course of a year.

There are hard numbers coming in from legalized states daily. If we consider Maine,

Rhode Island, and Maryland in dollars for legalization, we could see returns of $36

million, $60 Million, and $135 Million, respectively within the next 12 months.

Now for the most important statistic, it costs the state and federal governments

$17.4 Billion per year to maintain the prohibition of Marijuana. Oregon being newly

legalized is an untapped decriminalized and recreational market. It is a progressive

industry with a lot promise for significant returns, and job creation.

In closing, it would be relatively safe to say that each potential 4 X 8 Space could

yield a potential 20 to 96 ounces. In our particular choice location there are 6000

square feet of space equaling 186, 4 X 8 spaces. So our location has the potential to

house 930 to 1116 plants. Our worst case output per harvest would be 1860 ounces

or $465,000 to $651,000 depending upon strain, our best case being 8928 ounces or

$5 million to $10 Million.

Future Endeavors

MMJ Resort & Investor Exit Strategy

By year 3 our company would like to test market our concept idea in Oregon,

Colorado, Washington, and Pennsylvania a Marijuana Friendly Resorts. This would

add large commercial real estate assets to our portfolio, and provide investors with

a solid exit strategy. This will increase our revenue significantly. Although, we are

looking for a 5 year term loan for this concept, we should be able to pay it off by the

end of year 3, and break ground for our second resort providing investor’s in the

second round around Exit Strategy should they chose to reinvest in our firm.
