TRTC is vertically integrated and employs 175 – signs of growth and stability. With so many faux comparisons to the dot-com era, a strong employee base provides a level of comfort that a company is both real and expanding. A review of their May 2018 Corporate Presentation also clearly depicts their brands, their market, and their expansion plans and potential. So, let’s look at what we have so far from the Typical Retail Investor’s Perspective – your perspective:

- Collected information from the company website as well as reputable third-party sources (CannaInvestor Magazine, Investing.com, marijuanindex.com, SEC filings, etc).

- Ensured information is current and relevant.

- Reviewed at a high-level key financial metrics with respect to identifying if the company warrants further due diligence (market cap, revenues, margins, cash, and so forth).

- Based on key indicators, the company’s shares are in the “buy” zone per investing.com. You may assign your own rating whether it be the “strong buy” seen on a site such as investing.com or from your own analysis.

- Invest in the team!

Management Team

Board of Directors

- Diversified geographically within the USA as well as by business line.

Brands: IVXX™; EDIBLE GARDEN®; and, blüm+

Conclusion: TRTC certainly appears to be a company that one could consider to be on a short list for more in-depth analysis and due diligence prior to making any investment decision.
