Capitalization

We believe that the stock market has over-corrected to a single year’s performance, so management has looked at ways to enhance our potential for the creation of shareholder value going forward. In Q2 2019, the Company intends on taking one more approximately $5 million tranche of the $40M financing it signed in March of 2018. Currently, we are exploring strategic alternatives for certain operational and non-operational assets in both Nevada and California. We are confident we can get a better return on our invested capital by redeploying assets. We’re working with financial advisors to identify locations or permits that can generate non-dilutive capital that can be reinvested in strategic locations to produce greater returns. We have identified multiple opportunities that appear to be a more accretive use of capital. Our intention is to fulfill a final round of funding and to complete the sale of certain non-core assets and freeze additional funding for at least 12 months or until the stock price makes a material recovery.

Corporate Governance

Our corporate governance practices encourage substantial independent leadership in our boardroom and provide our shareholders with an essential voice. The Company has worked diligently on advancing our corporate governance standards. Historically, management has implemented best practices by structuring Audit, Compensation and other internal committees chaired by our independent directors, up-listing to the OTC QX, and converting our Series B Preferred Stock to Common shares to level the playing field and to align management’s interests with those of our shareholders. As an accelerated filer, our audit team has worked diligently to meet the stringent filing timelines of our 10Q’s and 10K’s. We achieved Sarbanes Oxley “SOX 404” compliance in all material respects by having effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This was a sizable undertaking for a small company but a necessary step in order to be eligible to potentially trade on a national exchange. Our goal is to continue to increase and implement strong corporate governance and internal best practices.

In Closing

Terra Tech was the first vertically integrated, plant touching public company in the world and we have been a pioneer in the cannabis industry since 2010. We have worked diligently in the media, through political leadership and fundraising to end cannabis prohibition and to help legalization take root. We are confident that with our strategy selection and focused execution we can continue to build significant, identifiable retail and wholesale brands in what we believe is the most significant market in the world. We are not trying to be the biggest; we are working on being the best!

Thank you for your continued support,
Derek Peterson
Chairman and CEO
