Shrimp Is it what you think? Occasionally, a remarkable development takes place that redefines what’s possible for humanity. This slide deck defines this remarkable development, highlighting the opportunity that's sure to place stakeholders at the forefront of a market shift. To Appreciate the Magnitude of our extraordinary development, we must first paint the picture of an industry that's responsible for producing a food product that’s prized in every corner of the globe, regardless of socioeconomic standing, religious belief, or geographical location. We’ll look at the good, bad, and ugly, as it is today, and show you how the significance of our story stands to change everything. The Good The United States Loves Shrimp Consumptive shrimp is one of the most sought-after foods in the world. Americans alone consume more than one billion pounds of shrimp annually, making this by far the most popular seafood for consumption in the United States. According to the World Wildlife Federation, "Shrimp is the most valuable traded marine product in the world today. In 2005, farmed shrimp was a $10.6 Billion industry.” Today, the global shrimp farming industry has grown by nearly 325% in 15 years to about $45 Billion.

Countries like but not limited to Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Guatemala, and Bangladesh see widespread instances of human trafficking, slavery, murders, and rapes of slave workers who underperform and activists who protest the unsavory nature of the industry. One example in 2014, an investigation from the Guardian discovered that men kidnapped to work aboard Thailand’s so-called ‘ghost ships’ were starved, drugged, and forced to work 20-hour days. Men too sick to work were thrown overboard. Those who disobeyed their captors were tortured or executed. A Miracle In the California Desert One hundred miles east of Los Angeles is the world’s first non-marine water shrimp hatchery. Unlike every other commercial shrimp hatchery in the world, this facility utilizes water that’s not from the ocean to produce pathogen-free, disease-resistant, and genetically selected post-larvae and broodstock. The core of our success is reinforced by feedback from strategic partners who validate our hatchery methods and provide a critical assessment with performance data. NAB has delivered over 10,000,000 post larvae to a farm in Texas where genetic lines performed well in farm grow-out conditions. Invest in an American Shrimp Farm Ideally located, this shrimp jewel in the California desert is poised and ready to expand into a fully operational shrimp farm, raising premium shrimp from their line of superior seedstock. This shrimp farm establishes the only source of fresh American grown shrimp on the west coast. These shrimp are clean, safe, and trusted by everyone who loves shrimp. The farm is eco- friendly, sustainable, and a model for the future of shrimp farming. Shrimp Farming Elevated When investment dollars are put to work • Deterministic growth rates and controlled harvest cycles • Fully traceable and organically grown shrimp • Bio-safe, disease and virus free environment • Completely sustainable and environmentally friendly • Locally grown and delivered live to a huge consumer market • From the only licensed commercial shrimp producer in California NAB Hatchery Feeds the Farm Genetically Superior Post-Larvae Grow in an Advanced Farm Ecosystem Capturing a Captive Local Market Centrally located to serve 30 million consumers within a few hours drive of Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.

Smart Breeding Program Strategic selection both among and within families allowed us to achieve genetic gains without the consequences of inbreeding. Farming partners offer us critical assessment which is factored into final analysis and selection. Disease resistance and growth are validated through actual harvests before final assessment in genetic selection. Stocking and Grow-out Post Larvae To be produced in our bio-safe hatchery located on site. They will be grown in nursery tanks for approximately 30 days prior to stocking in grow out ponds. Our facility consists of a series of maturation (breeder), larval and grow-out tanks with an array of filtration and associated monitoring equipment. The expertise of our Chief Operating Officer and aquaculturists will be heavily relied upon to maintain ideal water conditions and animal health. Daily monitoring combined with multiple feedings and periodic biologic animal assessments will be the responsibility of biologists and their assistants. Stocking the facility will begin after basic facility upgrades are complete approximately 30 days from initial funding. Pond Stocking Will occur once shrimp are at ideal size for outdoor survival. They will be grown out and harvested intermittently to maximize capacity and market opportunity. The larger product will be harvested approximately 100 days after stocking while some product will be harvested in as little as 60 days to satisfy market demand for various product requests.
