CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, January 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Revenues from marijuana production and sales in the U.S. states where it is legal could top $10 billion dollars by 2018 (up from $2.6 billion in 2014), according to research by the ArcView Group, which promotes investment in the emerging cannabis industry.  As the industry grows, so does relying upon next generation cultivation technology for grow operations. Companies in focus today are: Surna Inc. (OTC: SRNA), Easton Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC: EAPH), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) and GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH).

Surna Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA), an engineering, manufacturing, and installation Company specializing in commercial indoor cannabis cultivation technology, announced today it has finalized an exclusive $1.1 million contract to design, build and install the climate control systems for grower CWNevada. CWNevada is one of the largest indoor cannabis cultivation facilities in Las Vegas, and was recently granted a Nevada grow license as the state prepares its infrastructure for the growth and distribution of legal medical marijuana in 2015. The Company's 48,000 square-foot facility requires more than 700 tons of cooling equipment. Surna will provide CWNevada with their proprietary climate control technology which lends greater latitude and precision to the cultivation process while improving energy efficiency.

"The CWNevada contract will allow Surna to further demonstrate the efficiency and necessity of our cultivation technology," said Tom Bollich, Surna's Chief Executive Officer. "Indoor cannabis cultivation is more technically demanding than most people realize. The slightest deviation in temperature, timing, or light spectrum dramatically impacts the quality of the subject plant. Surna's technology uses less power and stabilizes certain growth factors so indoor growers can consistently provide quality cannabis at a reduced cost. We believe our product line to be essential to the industry, so we are strategically moving forward to establish similar contracts with other large commercial indoor growers throughout North America," Bollich said.

Revenue from the contract will be recognized throughout 2015 subject to start-date modification by CWNevada. Surna management believes that CWNevada has the potential to become one of the top cultivators in Nevada once equipped with Surna's chillers.
