SANTA CRUZ, Calif., March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bad Love Cosmetics Company, LLC has completed fabrication of the component containers for its CBD lip product line. On March 11, 2019, VIASPACE Inc. announced that it had completed the acquisition of luxury cosmetics company Elite Therapeutics (www.elitetherapeutics.com) which also included acquiring Bad Love Cosmetics Company, LLC. Elite Therapeutics launched a new, ultralux, hemp-derived, "CBD Recovery Crème" on February 4'th 2019 that can now be found on the Elite Therapeutics website. Bad Love Cosmetics has been developing an interesting and edgy line of lip care products that are perfectly suited for the emerging CBD cosmetic products universe.

Bad Love Cosmetics and Elite Therapeutics use only hemp-derived Cannabidiol (CBD) Isolate which is completely free of THC (zero psychoactive properties – won't get you high even if ingested) and is now legal in all 50 states. CBD is rapidly evolving as a new and important component of luxury cosmetics. There are many new studies currently being published that show how CBD has powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Those effects have always been desired components in the many steps of skin care. In addition, hemp seed oil can provide moisturizing benefits and act as a skin emollient. Finally, CBD can block free radicals which add an anti-aging effect to the list of potential benefits.

The Bad Love Cosmetics component containers for its edgy CBD lip product line can be accessed using the link: https://elitetherapeutics.com/blogs/news/coming-soon-bad-love-cosmetics. The approach is a retro-concept of bullet-type lipstick products of a bygone era of cold-war spy novels coming to life in modern times. The lipstick containers are easily recognizable by their distinctive shape and feel as a woman reaches into her purse. Each distinctive container has a catchy phrase such as "Bad Lips Own The Night." There are six different component containers for lipstick, lip gloss and lip liner.

VIASPACE Chairman and Acting CEO, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented: "We are proceeding with our 2019 business plans for VIASPACE to generate revenues from a business model with three lines of business activities. These include CBD-containing luxury cosmetics and top-line personal cosmetics/high-end hotel amenities; hemp-related revenue including CBD oil and the sale of hemp seeds along with the continued commercialization of Giant King Grass (GKG) for animal feed and renewable 'green' biomass/bioenergy."

WALNUT, Calif., Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) today reported that it has recently received $60,000 of organic revenue related to its business activities that are evolving in Hawaii, specifically for Giant King Grass Exclusivity Rights. Including Crop Engineering, Project Engineering and Exclusivity Rights, VIASPACE's current Hawaii contracts are scheduled and anticipated to yield an additional $600,000 of revenue over the next 9 months. In addition, there are multiple related projects involving biomass green energy and animal feed that are under consideration as a result of these Hawaii-focused activities. These projects could further enhance the revenue stream attributable to our Hawaii-based business.

Simultaneous to the above, the VIASPACE Board of Directors has been rigorously reducing the Company's corporate overhead expenses to a manageable level to minimize the need for further insider loans and subsequent stock dilution. VIASPACE Board Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe; VIASPACE Board Vice-Chairman, Mr. Haris Basit and VIASPACE Founder, Board Member and CTO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, have previously made loans to keep VIASPACE financially viable. Although the balance of those loans remains available to the Company, the current and projected revenues should primarily sustain the company and provide a basis for future growth.

VIASPACE Board Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented: "We are very pleased to announce significant organic revenues coming into VIASPACE related to our Hawaii-based business activities as we continue our dual strategy for using Giant King Grass for both renewable, green energy, biomass production and for animal feed projects. We have learned a lot about our competitive and challenging business space in the past several years and we are very focused on examining and pursuing projects with the highest probability of generating a growing revenue stream for our shareholders."

As described below, the change in independent registered public accounting firm is not the result of any disagreement with the Former Auditor.

Effective May 12, 2016, the Registrant dismissed the Former Auditor as its independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of the Former Auditor on the Registrant's financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for 2015 and 2014, which expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 12, 2016, there (a) have been no disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor, would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such years and (b) were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than the material weakness identified for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Registrant has requested that the Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from the Former Auditor is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) New Independent Accountants

On May 12, 2016, the Registrant engaged MaloneBailey LLP (the "New Auditor"), as its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016. The Registrant’s Board of Directors unanimously made the decision to engage the New Auditor.

The Registrant has not consulted with the New Auditor during its two most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period prior to its appointment as New Auditor regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Registrant nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Comments & Business Outlook

WALNUT, Calif., Jan. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC: VSPC) reported that CEO, Mr. Haris Basit, visited the Energia Reino Verde Giant King Grass power plant project under development in Nicaragua in December 2015. Chief Technology Officer, Dr.Carl Kukkonen, accompanied him during the visit.

Energia Reino Verde (ERV) is a planned 12.3 MW biomass power plant co-located with a 2,100 acre Giant King Grass plantation that is part of a larger 10,000 acre rice plantation and rice mill that provides rice to Agri-Corp, a large diversified food company that has more than 50% of the rice market in Nicaragua. VIASPACE is co-developing this project with Agri-Corp executives and investors. VIASPACE and the Agri-Corp team are equal partners in ERV. The project has received a letter of intent from two international development banks which are working together to provide the debt financing, and the Nicaraguan partners will arrange the majority of the equity financing. The boiler technology has been selected and an engineering, procurement and construction contract has been signed. Giant King Grass has been growing in Nicaragua for more than two years. The project is ready to go, upon approval of the Nicaraguan government.

Mr. Basit met with Mr. Amilcar Ybarra, CEO of Agri-Corp, in Managua to receive a briefing on the ERV project, and visited the rice plantation where the Giant King Grass is growing and met with the agriculture team.

Mr. Basit stated, "I was very impressed with the overall capabilities of Agri-Corp and we are pleased to have them as a partner. I want to thank Mr. Ybarra for hosting my visit. It is clear that the project is very far along and that we will be able to proceed very quickly once we get government approval.  The visit to the rice plantation was very informative.  They plant and harvest about 6,000 acres of rice twice each year. They are extremely professional with top-quality equipment and trained agronomists. It is a large operation that includes an on-site rice mill. Giant King Grass has been growing on the plantation for more than two years, and the power plant will also be co-located on the plantation so that the furthest field will only be 2 miles from the power plant. This makes logistics much simpler and financially efficient."

The Giant King Grass project in Nicaragua will provide reliable 24/7 base electricity that is renewable with zero net carbon dioxide emissions. The project will replace imported oil which is the source of base electricity today, and provide more than 400 rural jobs inNicaragua. Other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are intermittent sources that cannot be relied upon continuously and require oil backup electricity to compensate for intermittency. 

Mr. Basit concluded, "The Energia Reino Verde project will be our showroom for customers for future projects throughout the world. VIASPACE has the capability to develop the entire project including the plantation and power plant, and is working with customers and development partners on similar projects around the globe. We and our partners can do everything from a prefeasibility study and financial model through Engineering Procurement and Construction and commissioning of the power plant."

Management Discussion and Analysis

Revenues

Revenues were $49,000 and $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $6,000. The revenues relate to collaborative agreements for the joint operation of test plots to establish whether Giant King Grass grows well in customer’s countries and optimal agronomic practices are developed, and also for consulting and engineering work performed for customers requesting assistance in power plant design and feasibility studies for customers considering using Giant King Grass in their energy project.


Loss from Operations

The resulting effect on these changes in gross profits, operations expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses was an increase in loss from operations in 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a loss from operations of $473,000 compared with a loss from operations of $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $373,000.

Comments & Business Outlook

WALNUT, Calif., Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC: VSPC) has been working intensively on growing Giant KingGrass (GKG) in California at the VIASPACE nursery, the University of California Desert Research and Extension Center, and with our partner Almaden Energy Group, LLC (AEG) for the past six months. This press release outlines the progress so far in this effort.

A detailed analysis of GKG for animal feed has been conducted using GKG grown at the VIASPACE nursery and independently atUniversity of California research farm in Holtville, CA.  This study, done in concert with professional agronomists and animal nutritionists, helped determine the optimum time to harvest so as to maximize yield and feed value and thus revenue. The study included analysis of dozens of samples, taken at various maturities, for the yield as well as for the concentration of over thirty different nutrients and minerals.  Peak nutritional value and yield versus maturity were determined.

In addition to the nutrition studies, GKG at UC Holtville was mechanically harvested using a conventional swather, dried in the field and then baled into hay. Some GKG bales were sent to a local dairy for feed trials and some were used to produce animal feed pellets using a commercial pellet company. The pellets were analyzed for nutritional content and palatability. Animal feed can be used in the form of fresh chopped GKG, silage, hay or pellets.  Samples of GKG from multiple harvests in 2015 have been provided to local farmers and successfully fed to cows, goats and pigs.  The nutrition analysis shows that GKG is also suitable for horses.

AEG has leased a twenty-six acre plot of land in Imperial County, CA and also engaged a professional grower to grow Giant King Grass.  Twenty acres were planted in August 2015 utilizing several different techniques and planting densities.  Both manual and automated planting techniques were utilized.  Careful measurement of the cost and effectiveness of each technique has been performed.  This is a necessary step prior to scaling GKG for large production acreage.  Additional planting techniques have been tested in October and more will be tested in spring of 2016.  Testing to determine optimum harvesting and baling techniques will be carried out in the first half of 2016. Furthermore, these 26 acres have been outfitted with equipment to accurately measure water utilization and confirm the water efficiency of GKG on a larger scale.

A second smaller plot of land has been planted in California's Central Valley in the heart of the largest and most concentrated dairy region within the United States.  Dairies are particularly sensitive to the nutritional content of their feed and usually benefit the most from quality feed with high protein content.  The purpose of this plot is to determine if GKG can be cost effectively grown this far north in a climate that is significantly cooler than Imperial County.  We are working closely with a major dairy and their professional nutritionists to establish the value of GKG within the dairy industry.  If GKG can be cost effectively grown in this region, it may be able to replace crops that consume far greater amounts of water than GKG, thus alleviating a crucial water shortage in that region.

VIASPACE Chief Executive Officer, Haris Basit, stated, "VIASPACE is excited about the potential for using GKG as animal feed.  Early tests indicate that GKG provides high quality animal nutrition using less acreage and water than existing forage crops. This potentially addresses the most important problems facing agriculture in California today. We have gotten excellent cooperation from major dairies and are hopeful that animal feed will open up a new major market for us."

VIASPACE board chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, "We have strategically divided our business into two lines, animal feed and bioenergy. We believe that animal feed will represent an expedient and economically viable pathway to drive our business forward. VIASPACE and AEG are investing the necessary effort and resources to insure that we are responsible for our own success in commercializing GKG for animal feed. I am very pleased with the entrepreneurship and business enterprise skills that Mr. Basit has brought to VIASPACE. We mutually understand and agree on the importance and priority to get more significant revenues moving through this company. VIASPACE will be providing an update on energy related projects separately in the coming weeks."

AEG is focused on commercializing GKG for animal feed within the continental United States. AEG and VIASPACE have equity ownership in each other, three VIASPACE board members are also board members in AEG, and Haris Basit is CEO of both VIASPACE and AEG.

Comments & Business Outlook

WALNUT, Calif., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC: VSPC) today issued an update regarding the progress of the Tibbar Energy USVI, Giant King Grass fueled, 7-megawatt biogas power plant on the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. The power plant will provide the only base load renewable electricity in the USVI. The majority feedstock is from VIASPACE Giant King Grass (GKG).  Tibbar will sell power for 25 years with a 5 year option to the Water and Power Authority (WAPA). Tania Tomyn, CEO of Tibbar, said, "Our project is a balance of public and private relationships. This is a long term commercial solution that gives the USVI fossil fuel independence and low cost power.  Executive Director Hugo Hodge from WAPA and Karl Knight from the DOE in the USVI are finding real solutions such as LPG conversion and Solar to aid the energy crisis and Tibbar is proud to be part of that long term plan."

As previously reported, Tibbar Energy was issued a Virgin Island Department on Planning and Natural Resources' Division of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) final permit for construction on April 2, 2014. Those permits are now 90% complete and the final design and modification before construction starts is also being completed. Tomyn said, "We expect to start work the first of the year (2015) and that will create 150 jobs between the power plant construction and the farm development that will happen simultaneously. After construction, the plant will employ around 35-40 staff for 25 years." Tibbar has already been operating farms on the island of St. Croix growing GKG for over 2 years now with great success.

Additionally, on June 23, 2014, the Public Services Commission (PSC) held a public meeting on St. Thomas where Tibbar Energy and WAPA together requested final approval of the agreements between WAPA and Tibbar including the 25 year (with 5 year option) Power Purchase Agreement executed last July and the Interconnection Agreement to the power grid. That approval was granted by the Commission.

Tibbar's public and private relationships are important. For example, as part of the agreement the Department of Agriculture will receive 1,000 round bales per year for all three islands in the USVI for small livestock farmers. Tibbar will provide free fertilizer to small farmers on the island of St. Croix.  Tibbar is working with VI Waste Management Authority on its existing long term agreement to recycle food waste and fats, oils and greases to divert waste from the landfill and be used in the digester to create energy.  Tomyn said, "20% plus of all MSW is organics and working with Waste Management Authority to recycle these streams and divert them from landfills on St. Thomas and St. Croix is the right thing to do for both the USVI and Tibbar.  This will have a major impact on landfill capacity over the next 25 years." 

VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, "The project with Tibbar Energy to use Giant King Grass as a dedicated, renewable, green energy crop for biogas electricity production on St. Croix is continuing to move ahead. This represents a model,Caribbean renewable energy project that creates significant local jobs, provides green, base load electricity and multiple related benefits to waste management, the island environment and local farmers.  Tibbar's project will be the Caribbean's first carbon neutral base load, renewable power plant. We are very pleased with our ongoing working relationship and partnership with Tibbar Energy. We are in regular contact with Tibbar CEO Tania Tomyn and her team.  They have become experts at cultivating and growing Giant King Grass on St. Croix. VIASPACE will receive license revenues for 25 years (with a 5 year option) as the Giant King Grass on St. Croix is harvested for renewable electricity."

Comments & Business Outlook

WALNUT, Calif., September 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) today reported that CEO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, met with potential Giant King Grass customers in Hawaii.  Dr. Kukkonen also attended the Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit held in Honolulu September 15-17, where he gave an invited presentation at a special conference track on Agricultural Innovation.

On March 17, 2014, VIASPACE announced that Giant King Grass was released from the mandatory one-year quarantine on Hawaii after the Hawaii Department of Agriculture found it to be free of pests and disease. Giant King Grass is currently growing well in Hawaii, and an update will be provided in a future press release (Part II).

Potential customers included Hawaiian businessmen working to revive agriculture on Hawaii, and also to produce clean energy. Hawaii once had a thriving cattle business. At this time, cattle born in Hawaii are mostly shipped to the mainland for growth and finishing. Pig farming is also important on Hawaii, but much of the big food needs to be imported from the mainland. There were once 12 sugar mills in Hawaii. Now there is one sugar plantation and mill located on Maui, and substantial plantation lands lie fallow. Most of the pineapple business has left Hawaii. There is significant underemployment in the agriculture industry.

Dr. Kukkonen reported, "There are business people in Hawaii now working to revive the cattle and dairy industries. Today most cattle are put out to pasture on large ranches which have local grasses such as Guinea grass. The land can support about 50 cattle per 100 acres. Giant King Grass with 10 � 15% protein is higher quality than Guinea grass that has about 5% protein. Giant King Grass also has much higher yield. With proper agriculture, Giant King Grass can support about 400 cattle or dairy cows per 100 acres. Giant King Grass can also be an important part of the diet for sheep, goats, horses and pigs. I believe that Giant King Grass can play an important role in animal feed in Hawaii and other tropical and subtropical regions."

Hawaii has the highest electricity prices in the US. Much of the electricity in Hawaii is produced from oil which is imported and expensive. Wind and solar electricity are intermittently available and Hawaii has difficulty in providing the backup power which is needed to provide consistent levels of electricity. Currently each Hawaiian island has its own separate grid and there is no undersea power line to make a statewide grid.

Kukkonen continued, "I heard a presentation on an ambitious concept to pump water uphill to a dam during times when there is excess solar or wind electricity. The plan is to then let the water run downhill and produce hydroelectricity when the wind is not blowing or during the nighttime. This is certainly possible, but growing Giant King Grass to fuel a reliable and 24/7 biomass power plant is a simpler and lower cost solution. Pumping water uphill to a dam is the only way to store electricity today on a large scale. It may be feasible in very special areas, but Giant King Grass clean renewable electricity should have much broader applicability. There was also a detailed concept to bring in containers of liquefied natural gas to the big island of Hawaii to replace oil for producing reliable electricity. This is feasible and would be a bit less expensive than oil and natural gas produces less carbon dioxide than oil. Both of these examples illustrate how difficult and expensive it is to produce electricity on island nations."

"I met with parties that are trying to develop biomass power plants using anaerobic digestion to produce clean bio electricity. They were interested in Giant King Grass as a dedicated energy crop. VIASPACE has just finished another round of extensive testing of Giant King Grass for anaerobic digestion and it is an excellent feedstock to produce biogas. We have action items to provide data to these potential customers."

Kukkonen also met with potential customers from other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. There are opportunities for Giant King Grass on islands like Guam.

VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, concluded, "We have been very busy in Hawaii since our Giant King Grass was successfully released from quarantine there earlier this year. Giant King Grass is now growing incredibly well in Hawaii and we will be specifically discussing this progress soon. There is a picture of our Hawaiian Giant King Grass standing at our booth at the Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit and posted on our VIASPACE Facebook page. It takes time to develop a brand new plant/biomass platform and animal feed source in Hawaii, but we have now passed the major hurdles there and are ready for primetime. We have the most perfect solution for renewable biomass energy and animal feed for Hawaii and we are pursuing our business opportunities there."

Management Discussion and Analysis

Revenues

Revenues were $46,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $14,000. The revenues relate to collaborative agreements for the joint operation of test plots to establish whether Giant King Grass grows well in customer’s countries and optimal agronomic practices are developed.


Loss from Operations

The resulting effect on these changes in gross profits, operations expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses was an increase in loss from operations in 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had a loss from operations of $146,000 compared with a loss from operations of $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $11,000.
