FORMATION OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDAIRY

On March 1, 2017, Aquentium, Inc. board of directors approved the
formation of a wholly owned subsidiary for the manufacturing of
mineral spring bottled water infused with cannabidiol CBD.

Hemp-based CBDs have been developed as both supplements (e.g.
oils and pills) and consumer products. Aquentium is in the
process of developing its own proprietary CBD-infused bottled
water product. This product targets the multi-billion dollar
bottled water industry with an innovative new product that has
potential health benefits.

Demand for hemp-based products is growing rapidly alongside the
expanding market for health food and personal care
products.Science shows that hemp has many health benefits as it
is high in omega fatty acids, complete protein, fiber, magnesium,
zinc, iron and other important nutrients. Hemps use as a
superfood ingredient is expected to rise across a wide array of
health food categories.

Some of North Americas largest retailers including Costco,
Superstore and Walmart carry a variety of hemp products. The Hemp
Industries Association estimates that the total annual retail
sales of hemp food and body care products is approximately US$200
million in the United States and US$20 million to US$40 million
in Canada.

Emerging CBD Industry

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) may be the most popular part of the
cannabis plant for its psychoactive properties, but cannabidiol
(CBD) has become the focus of a growing number of clinical
studies. According toProjectCBD, there are over 50 medical
conditions where CBD has shown some promise in treating the
underlying problems or alleviating symptoms, while many large
pharmaceutical companies are engaging in new studies.

The legal hemp-based CBD market is projected to reach between
$2.1 billion by 2020, according toHemp Business Journal. Unlike
psychoactive THC, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015
excluded hemp from the Drug Enforcement Administrations
controlled substances list, which effectively legalized
hemp-derived CBDs. Many other countries around the world have
similarly permitted the importation of hemp-based CBD products.
