Surna Inc. Led by Chairman and CEO Tom Bollich, the visionary technologist who co-founded famed gaming company Zynga which ultimately rose to a $10 billion market valuation, Surna’s mission is to develop, produce and sell equipment for the nascent, $2.3 billion legal marijuana industry with a focus on disruptive technology, equipment and related support services. The Company represents a pure play on the cannabis industry, while being agnostic as to the escalating proliferation of regulated, commodity cannabis growers & sellers, winners or losers; Surna’s business model excludes the production or sale of marijuana. Fueled by powerful trends of increasing states’ legislation favoring regulated medical and recreational marijuana markets, and its lucrative tax and jobs revenue, industry analysts conservatively project the highly fragmented $2.3 billion US legal cannabis industry will increase over four-fold to $10.2 billion by 2018. Surna is acquisitive, and aims to dominate the infrastructure, growing and support side of the global cannabis industry by aggregating advanced technologies, IP and scalable operating companies to bring new technology to the cannabis marketplace and contribute to its dramatic growth. The Company recently announced it has acquired the intellectual property portfolio of Safari Resource Group, comprised of a patented “Airstream” reflector and right, title and interest to 14 intellectual property patents currently in development and expected to be ready for market soon. The Company believes the IP portfolio is disruptive with near term application for next-generation commercialization in a variety of cannabis indoor climate control and related systems.

Acquiring Hydro Subsequently, for its first operating company acquisition, on April 1, 2014 Surna announced a definitive agreement to acquire Hydro Innovations (“Hydro”) in the second quarter of 2014 contingent upon a FY-13 audit and independent valuation opinion. Prior to Closing, the Company has exclusively licensed all of Hydro’s technology, IP and product lines, in perpetuity, for commercial sale and distribution for indoor gardening applications.

With a robust R&D capability, Hydro is well established commercially as a producer of disruptive technologies with the successful introduction and sales of its “Banks Chillers.” With cooling being as critical to growing marijuana as the seed itself, Hydro’s Chillers offer a breakthrough product line that: • Can be installed and purchased for 20 to 40 percent less

than the price of conventional HVAC and 65 percent cheaper than traditional water chilled solutions

• Operates with 20 to 30 percent more energy efficiency

than the most sophisticated commercial HVAC systems on the market

Surna is distinguished by its Board of Directors and management: Tom Bollich, Chairman & CEO, began his career as a

Robotics Engineer, working with artificial intelligence. In 2007 he co-founded Zynga (NASDAQ: ZYNG), the online gaming company. Zynga created games such as FarmVille, Draw Something and Words with Friends. There, Tom served as a Studio Head and CTO.

Doug McKinnon, Director, whose 30 years’ professional

experience includes C-level positions in both private and public sectors, including Chairman and CEO of an American Stock Exchange traded company, Vice President of a $12 billion market cap NASDAQ-traded company for which management raised over $2.2 billion and CFO of several publicly held US, Canadian and Australian companies. Mr. McKinnon, currently engaged as the senior financial consultant to Surna, is in discussions about joining the Company as CFO.

Tae Darnell, Director and VP – General Counsel, is one of Colorado’s first full time Cannabis lawyers. His firm has represented over 500 dispensaries, cultivation premises and infused product manufacturing companies in addition to playing a pivotal role in Colorado’s rise from operating under a Constitutional Amendment to outright regulated legalization.

Under the guidance of the veteran Surna management team, Hydro is now focused on expanding its product lines, developing and commercializing new intellectual property and diversifying into other sectors of the indoor agriculture & climate control industries. By transitioning into a publicly traded company, Hydro will benefit from a dramatically lower cost of capital which is expected to enable it to fully finance its aggressive growth strategy.

Surna CEO Tom Bollich (April 1, 2014):

“Not since I helped co-found Zynga back in

2007, have I seen such an unprecedented

opportunity to quickly capture market share of

an industry still in its infancy yet offering the

promise of explosive value creation.”

www.surna.com

Surna envisions the cannabis industry will expand horizontally and spin off advanced, related and conventionally regulated new sectors such as food products, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, bio tech, remote agricultural monitoring technologies and much more to drive industry growth.

“Silicon Valley for Weed” In Colorado, Surna enjoys being at the epicenter of the marijuana industry, an important advantage that cannot be underestimated. As an intellectual property company, (utilizing a model similar to cellular IP giant Qualcomm), or as a holding company of next-generation equipment manufacturers, Surna is not affected by any marijuana related regulations in Colorado or elsewhere. Yet within the cannabis industry, Colorado is informally known as “Silicon Valley for Weed” for attracting the most educated and qualified experts, management, and capital. Colorado was the first US state to permit medical marijuana through a State Constitutional Amendment in 2000, and is the first to legalize substantial cannabis plant cultivation and recreational use. Accordingly, the “Colorado Model” is routinely studied by states, federal regulators and international observers for adoption elsewhere in the global marijuana market. Existence in the epicenter of the industry gives Surna the applied knowledge and experience to choose its acquisitions wisely and to give its customer base the benefit of the knowledge gained by being a true industry pioneer.

Colorado Catalyst: The 1.6% Solution At 5.3 million people (July 1, 2013) Colorado has only 1.6 percent of the U.S. population. Though currently only about one quarter the (Cannabis) market size of California, the Colorado market is poised to double in 2014 and will equate to 60 percent of the California market. If medical and recreational marijuana laws are enacted in other and more populous states, as is strongly trending and many political analysts’ forecasts confirm, the market potential is extraordinary.

US and Global Market Trending Toward Legal Marijuana While Colorado’s Jan. 1, 2014 implementation of regulated recreational use of cannabis is a catalyst for a major ramp up in industry growth, Hydro’s industry leading equipment has been shipped and installed at commercial gardens spanning the globe from South Africa and UK to Australia and Costa Rica. Nationally and internationally, to lower cannabis law enforcement and incarceration costs as well as to generate substantial incremental tax revenue and jobs, industry analysts agree the national polls and trend strongly favor more states moving toward regulated medical or recreational cannabis use models. The global upside potential is many times greater than the US. Uruguay in December of 2013 enacted legislation for a fully regulated cannabis market.

Industry Leading R&D Following six years of R&D, Hydro deploys advanced proprietary technologies into its growing line of lead products enjoying a clear competitive advantage. Hydro’s climate control “Bank Chillers” enjoy a strong technological lead, priced at 20 to 40 percent less than the competition (primarily conventional home and commercial building heating/ventilation/air conditioning (“HVAC”)) with energy efficiency reducing energy consumption by about 30%. Surna and Hydro plan to increase R&D in new commercial gardening equipment product lines and anticipate adding to its existing patent application pending with near term plans to file many more.

Growth Strategies In addition to its strong competitive advantages, and barriers to entry, the Company’s outlook for outsized industry growth and profitability is supported by its aggressive growth strategy and powerful industry tailwinds:

Exponentially Growing US Marketplace Cannabis industry research firm ArcView conservatively projects the highly fragmented $2.3 billion US cannabis industry will increase 700 percent from 2013’s $1.43 billion to $10.2 billion by 2018; a more than four-fold increase from 2014’s estimated $2.34 billion. New Marketing Campaigns To date, Hydro has done little to no advertising or marketing, relying instead upon growing word of mouth and a social media buzz surrounding its best of class products. The marketing plan calls for stepped up advertising online and in print, reinforced marketing channels such as its ‘affiliate’ reseller program in addition to the blogosphere, video, industry conferences & tradeshows and media relations whose appetite for marijuana industry stories seems insatiable.

Penetrate Ancillary & Adjacent Markets Surna’s business plan envisions penetrating adjacent markets with its next generation, disruptively lower-cost and more energy-efficient climate control equipment. These markets include:

Indoor and greenhouse agriculture (organic and/or

hydroponic fruits and vegetables) -- a natural extension.

Cloud: Server farms and data centers, experiencing explosive growth worldwide as software and storage migrates to the Cloud. Industry research firm Market Monitor predicts 36 percent compound annual growth in cloud computing from $5.7 billion in 2012 to $20 billion by the end of 2016.

Conventional HVAC for residential and commercial buildings. This initiative, planned for 2015, offers an enormous opportunity and may include capturing niche markets or a capital efficient JV or licensing/royalty model.

www.surna.com 4

Build Intellectual Property Portfolio Surna is implementing a comprehensive intellectual property strategy that includes acquiring and developing portfolios of patent assets around core commercial opportunities. The Company currently has one patent application pending with near term plans to file many additional patent applications.

Leverage Surna’s Advanced Technology Platform As a forward thinking pioneer of indoor cannabis grow system technologies, Surna’s Hydro is actively developing, and expects to commercialize, new breakthrough climate control equipment in 2014. Its current R&D initiatives include building a service division around new, advanced remote plant monitoring systems whose service fees offer 90% gross margin recurring revenue streams.

Mergers & Acquisitions As a public company with recently announced IP and operating company acquisitions, Surna has valuable market currency and has identified several logical cannabis acquisition candidates for vertical integration or market penetration into its existing or related markets.

HVAC: Wall Street investment banking and research firm Raymond James (Sept. 5, 2013) reports: “America’s 4.8 million commercial buildings and 350,000 industrial facilities account for approximately 51% of the nation’s primary energy consumption, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), as compared to 28% for transportation and 21% for residential consumption. In the enterprise sector of the economy, annual energy costs (mainly power and heat) total approximately $200 billion. Looking at this by category, the single biggest line item (31%) is heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), followed by lighting at 25%. What’s particularly striking is the EIA’s estimate that 30% of this energy is used “inefficiently or unnecessarily.”

Surna’s Scalable Business Model

Accelerating US trend toward increasing legalization of marijuana

www.surna.com 5

ArcView Market Research (AMR) conservatively assesses the 2013 US national legal marijuana market to be valued at $1.43 billion. The projected national value for 2014 is $2.38 billion, an annual increase of 64%. This increase represents the fastest growth rate of any U.S. industry AMR could find. Primary growth drivers include new Adult Use markets in Colorado and Washington State, as well as the addition of four new Medical Use states coming online (Massachusetts, Illinois, Connecticut and Vermont) – collectively projected to add $61 million in market value in 2014. On a five-year horizon, AMR sees the national annual market value potential at $10.2 billion by 2018. In the US, this long-term outlook assumes the following key growth factors: 14 new state Adult Use markets Two new state Medical Use markets Organic growth in current legal marijuana states as a

result of growing populations Continued migration of illicit market purchases to legal

market purchases

Annual Retail Sales by Industry

US Beer (2012): $246 billion US Wine (2012): $34.6 billion Vodka (2012): $5.5 billion Legal MJ (2013): $1.43 billion E-Cigarettes (2012): $500 million

The US National Legal Marijuana Growth Rate

Vast, Fast-Growth Marketplace

“For marijuana advocates, the last 12 months have been a period of unprecedented success as Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana. And now for the first time, a clear majority of Americans (58%) say the drug should be legalized. This is in sharp contrast to the time Gallup first asked the question in 1969, when only 12% favored legalization.”

The national legal marijuana market is comparatively small, compared with markets for beer, wine and vodka. However at a projected 64% annual growth rate, legal marijuana is growing over 30 times more quickly than the mature beer, market, which domestically is increasing at around two percent.

Page 6: INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS - Surnasurna.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/SRNA-Corp-Profile-FINAL.pdfmarketing channels such as its ‘affiliate’ reseller program in addition to the blogosphere,

Some estimates of the illicit marijuana markets have been in the $18 billion to $30 billion range. In terms of the value of national legalization of marijuana, Bloomberg Industries estimate the US market potential at $35 billion to $45 billion, which would eclipse the US market for wine. More than one in three Americans live in a state that has legalized some form of marijuana consumption. In addition to Washington D.C., there are presently 20 states with legal marijuana regulation. Not all of the states, however have active markets, which AMR defines as those state markets in which marijuana can be legally purchased at a storefront location (i.e. Medical Use dispensary or Adult Use retailer).

www.surna.com 6

AMR finds that more than 590,000 consumers legally purchased cannabis from a storefront in 2013. As part of its market estimates, AMR does also does not count grow-your-own consumers or consumers who purchase from caregivers. Active markets presently include 11 states and DC, and this number will expand by another four states in 2014. The following map shows which of the legal state markets represent active and inactive markets (as of December 2013).

Worldwide Global Cannabis Market Poised for Growth As large as the potential US cannabis market is, the markets in Europe and Latin America offer at least as much upside. Similar to the US, global trends toward increasing legalization or regulation are accelerating in Europe and Latin America. Uruguay is an excellent case in point. Uruguay has long been characterized by a level of social tolerance and a policy to minimize risk and reduce harm from drug use. On December 20, 2013, the bill for the regulation of cannabis was approved by both chambers of the Uruguayan Parliament, and President José Mujica enacted Law 19.172. This law regulates the production, marketing and consumption of cannabis, while promoting information, education and prevention of use of this substance. Uruguay has thus become the first country in the world to legalize and regulate cannabis. "As an alternative to prohibitionist policies, the regulation of drug markets offers the state a means to implement more efficient and comprehensive initiatives for supply and demand reduction." Senator Roberto Conde, presenting the majority report in the introductory speech to the debate on the cannabis bill in the Senate - December 10, 2013. July 31, 2013, the House of Representatives passed an executive bill to regulate the production, marketing and consumption of cannabis. In December, 2013, the majority of the Uruguayan Senate voted in favor of the bill to regulate cannabis approved by the lower house. The state would henceforth control the entire chain, from production to consumption. Law 19.172 comes into force in April of 2014.
