What is a SuperGrow Container? On-premise, soil based, automated, controlled grow environment for produce We are the first and only LED sourced Terraponic* container farm offering. Our Terraponic technologies are also implemented in buildings called SuperGrow Centers™ *Terraponic means grown in SOIL not a “medium” mix of various matierlals (sawdust to coconut shell) not “hydroponic” in “water” not “aeroponic” with water and basic nutrient misted on the roots 1

Shortening Supply Chain Latency Every time produce is transported or stored, it’s freshness value decreases and the embedded cost of energy increases. Farm/Harvest Transport Distribution Transport Grocer/ Restaurant 10 hrs 100 hrs 8 hrs 96 hrs 72 hrs 9 days! 3 days!

Reducing Produce Shrinkage 100% Farm Harvest Transport Distribution Transport Grocer / Restaurant At Home -20% -7% -12% -15% -14% -12% Loss before reaching consumer for leafy green produce & herbs 52% Loss including at consumer 61%

Challenges of Current Farm to Market Supply Chain Supply Chain Latency Loss of produce freshness Loss of produce volume at each stage Loss of produce at retail outlet or at consumer High embedded cost of transportation High embedded cost of refrigeration High cost for rugged distance packaging Two other challenges for field produce Seasonality effects availability Catastrophe risk due to weather or pestilence 4

Supply Chain Redefined SuperGrow eliminates 9 days of supply latency! Farm/Harvest Transport Distribution Transport Grocer/ Restaurant 10 hrs 100 hrs 8 hrs 96 hrs 72 hrs 9 days! 3 days! 5 5
