4 OUR SUSTAINABLE PROCESS DEMANDS A LOT OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND KNOWLEDGE. QUALITY Superior quality is an important factor in all our activities. Quality begins with the seed. We cooperate with certified farms that offer only the best hemp seeds, since we believe that the most valuable products may be manufactured from the best quality raw materials only. Additionally, we always monitor cultivation of hemp seeds through organic farming techniques and review product route before it reaches the processing plant via direct communication with its producers, so that we may be absolutely sure of the origin of raw materials, so their quality is completely guaranteed. Kill-Step and Food safety very low microbiological values and no chemical pollution; 100 % traceability of EU origin raw material approved by Eurofins; Only organic and only hemp cleaned with colour sorting is used in fully automated facility no possible cross-contamination; Up to date packing materials and technology used shelf life up to 16 months; In house laboratory and highest quality in the market. For us, quality is the most important factor in our activities. We monitor and control the entire process from selection of raw materials and growing until provision of our final product to the customer. Due to this, only the highest quality

5 organic products from our company reach our customers. Raw materials grown in different organic farms are labelled with individual serial numbers, which identify the reproductive material (seed) of an elite category, the exact cultivation area of hemp, dates of sowing and threshing, list of certified organic fertilizers used (their manufacturer, date, quantity, etc.). Each batch of raw materials labelled with an individual serial number is processed separately. The products are thereby linked to a certain supply and raw material chain, so that we are able to trace the history of each product. We apply very strict standards for our internal quality control; therefore, we bravely ensure the unique quality of our organic products. Only those products that meet the highest EU and US product safety requirements will reach our customers, since we study the microbiological and chemical pollution in both raw materials and the products we manufacture (total bacterial count, Enterobacteriaceae, molds, yeasts, salmonella, E. Coli and other bacteria, peroxides, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.). These examinations are carried out even when only one product type will be produced from the raw material. We deliver the products to the market only after complex examinations are completed in accredited food laboratories such as NMVRVI (Lithuania) and Eurofins (Germany).

7 CERTIFICATES We constantly adhere to the strict organic production requirements of EU institutions, and use accredited food labs to evaluate our products before delivering them to the market. We have our own advanced laboratory equipment and a team of experts. We supply our processed hemp products only to authorised producers, wholesale trademarks and distributors. That s how the highest quality and safety standards are ensured until the end of production.

8 GROWING All of the products of our company are produced mainly from certified FINOLA hemp seeds supplied by organic farming facilities of the Baltic States. We do not use any chemical synthetic additives, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or substances containing GMOs. We process the FINOLA type of hemp that was developed in Finland by Dr. Jace Callaway, it is perfectly suited for the Nordic climate that prevails in Lithuania. Compared with other types of hemp (especially those grown outside the EU), FINOLA seeds are far better in taste and flavour: they have pleasant nutty/buttery aftertaste FINOLA seed is smaller with a thinner outer husk

10 PROCESSES CULTIVATION OF HEMP For us, the quality of the final product begins with an impeccable raw material. We check the cultivation of hemp seeds through organic farming techniques and review its route before the product reaches the processing plant. So, only certified raw materials grown from our selected super elite seeds are processed into our highest quality products. PROCESSING OF HEMP SEEDS The harvested hemp has to be cleaned and dried first of all. This process requires a great deal of scrupulousness, care and diligence. In the course of processing hemp seeds travel through various types of food-grade stainless steel equipment, depending on product being produced. During the whole stage of processing we strictly monitor the temperature of raw materials so that it does not exceed +40 C. Due to this a all hemp nutritional values remain preserved, and its stability regarding oxidation is maintained. protection while seeking to preserve our products freshness and nutritional values, so we pack our products in special packages. In order to avoid oxidation processes and changes to physical and chemical characteristics of food, we have chosen vacuum packaging ensuring UV protection due to modified atmosphere, without addition of any artificial components. In the process of packaging inmodified atmosphere, we use nitrogen gas and this technique stops the multiplication of micro-organisms, extends product s shelf life in the supply chain and preserves taste, structure and appearance of the product, while removing the oxygen that can result in oxidation. SALE The packaged products are ready for sale, their highest quality and environmental friendliness are guaranteed! VERIFICATION In order to ensure the highest quality of our products, we control each stage of the process until they reach our customers. In fact, our products are verified several times: after the initial preparation of raw materials, upon accepting raw materials for processing, during the products manufacturing, and inspection of final products in the whole batch. PACKAGING Packing of product and it s packaging are very important to us. We care for the environmental Organic hemp is produced by our company through a process where everything from selection of seeds until the final transfer of the product to the customer is monitored very thoroughly.

11 WE RECOMMEND HEMP PRODUCTS SINCE they are useful not only for human beings but also for nature. they are organic and environmentallyfriendly. we care about the protection and future of our environment. INTERESTING FACT: about 50 thousand different products can be produced from hemp and hemp fiber, including those for the food industry, cosmetics and even high-tech products.

12 PRODUCTS PRODUCING THE HIGHEST QUALITY ORGANIC PRODUCTS IS OUR CORE VALUE.

13 Our products are 100 % natural, that means that they are free of preservatives, artificial food additives, colorants, added sugar and allergens. Our production is suitable for vegans. Organic raw hemp material can be used for making about 50,000 different products in food, cosmetic or high-tech industries. Our factory processes thousands of tons of raw hemp each year. Hemp processing demands plenty of knowledge and patience. Hemp seeds are hulled or cold pressed to obtain hemp oil or hemp protein powder.

14 EU ORGANIC HULLED HEMP SEEDS PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC HULLED HEMP SEEDS The raw material in big bags arrives through the gate. The raw material gets transferred to the hemp seeds processing line in batches. Impurities get removed from the raw material with the help of a magnet. The raw material proceeds to the separator and stones collector. All impurities are removed. One batch of hemp seeds getshulled, the other part proceeds to the oil production line. Hemp seeds are hulled. Hulls are removed from the raw material. Whole hemp seeds (unhulled) get separated from hulled ones. Hulled hemp seeds get sorted: hemp seeds of a large size get packed in vacuum packs with the use of nitrogen gas, in addition they get checked by a metal detector; small size hemp seeds move to further processing. Hemp seed hulls transfer to the biofuel factory. Our factory. may boast of a wasteless production. It is completely environmentfriendly. We do not need water in the production process. We use electricity from renewable sources only.
