BOULDER, Colo., Jun. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Surna, Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA), a technology company that engineers state-of-the art equipment for controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”) with special expertise in cannabis cultivation, announced today they had reached an Agreement with Kind Agrisoft, LLC, an affiliate of Kind Financial (collectively “Kind”) in which Kind will acquire the Assets of  Agrisoft Development Group (“Agrisoft”).

In January, Surna announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Agrisoft, but the continued growth of its current business combined with the strategic assets that Kind could bring to Agrisoft led all parties to conclude that this transaction would better achieve each company’s goals. For complete details on this transaction please refer to Surna’s recently filed 8K.

Surna expects this Agreement to provide flexibility for Surna to work with multiple point-of-sale vendors.

“We believe infrastructure and monitoring will be a critical aspect of our business well into the future,” stated Tae Darnell, President of Surna. “Because of that, we cannot limit our business to one provider. The arrangement we have reached with Kind allows us to recoup our investment, receive a royalty and co-develop monitoring technologies. More importantly, it enables us to concentrate our resources on our own cannabis solutions which will allow us to integrate with a diversity of software platforms.”

Charles Ramsey, CEO of Agrisoft, stated, “Although our original structure didn’t close, we are excited and upbeat about the new strategy and believe it better aligns with the near and long-term strategic directions of both companies.”

Darnell agreed, saying, “We’ve enjoyed working with Matt Cooke, Charles Ramsey, and the Agrisoft team, and we remain very excited about Agrisoft and our relationship moving forward.”

Our actual results, such as the Company’s ability to finance, complete and consolidate acquisition of IP, assets and operating companies, could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors not within the control of the company such as a result of various factors, including future economic, competitive, regulatory, and market conditions.

Statement About Cannabis Markets

The use, possession, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis is prohibited by federal law.  This includes medical and recreational marijuana.  Although certain states have legalized medical and recreational cannabis, companies and individuals involved in the sector are still at risk of being prosecuted by federal authorities. Further, the landscape in the cannabis industry changes rapidly.  What was the law last week is not the law today and what is the law today may not be the law next week.  This means that at any time the city, county, or state where cannabis is permitted can change the current laws and/or the federal government can supersede those laws and take prosecutorial action. Given the uncertain legal nature of the cannabis industry, it is imperative that investors understand that the cannabis industry is a high risk investment. A change in the current laws or enforcement policy can negatively affect the status and operation of our business, require additional fees, stricter operational guidelines and unanticipated shut downs.
