Gear International Inc. Executes Funding Agreement With Cannaworx, Inc.

PENSACOLA, FL--(Marketwired - Aug 31, 2015) - Gear International, Inc. (OTCBB: GEAR), via its wholly-owned subsidiary GEAR International of Washington, Inc., is pleased to announce that it has signed a Funding Agreement with Cannaworx, Inc. to acquire an interest in future earnings. Funds being provided will be used to fuel growth in the various spaces Cannaworx is involved in now occupies throughout the medical cannabis and hemp industries and is poised to occupy as those legal ambiguities are resolved.

GEAR's CEO is quoted stating, "We are excited to partner with such a solid group as Cannaworx. The Cannaworx principals are revered as leaders in the space. They are uniquely qualified and focused on harnessing the opportunities while taking great care, with its legal team, with whom we have consulted, to avoid the legal pitfalls. Those legal ambiguities, coupled with the actual federal laws, have virtually eliminated access to conventional sources of capital, the results of which we call the 'capital gap.' Yet, the consequent barriers to the capital markets, have also created opportunities for those bold enough to legally navigate such waters -- to reap the extraordinary profit potential engendered by the 'capital gap.' We see the Cannaworx connection as our vehicle to harness these opportunities, particularly once the many legal barriers are inevitably eradicated. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Cannaworx."

FEDERAL LEGAL PROHIBITION: THE COMPANY INTENDS TO ENTER, DIRECTLY OR THROUGH SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED BUSINESS ENTITIES, THE BUSINESS OF FUNDING RESOURCE PROVIDERS OF FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, CONSULTING, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, RESEARCH, FINANCING, PERSONNEL, AND MANAGEMENT TO ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURING, PRODUCING, AND DISTRIBUTION OF A PRODUCT THAT INCLUDES MARIJUANA. MARIJUANA IS CLASSIFIED FEDERALLY AS A SCHEDULE 1 NARCOTIC. IT IS A FELONY TO DISTRIBUTE, CULTIVATE OR USE MARIJUANA. IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR ANY OTHER STATE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD AT ANY TIME CHOOSE TO PROSECUTE THE COMPANY AND ITS OWNERS. ANY AND ALL INVESTORS MUST BE WILLING TO BEAR THIS EXTREME RISK OF PROSECUTION, PENALTY AND IMPRISONMENT.

Investors are cautioned that due to the Company's acquisition of the right to receive income from companies offering various services to marijuana farming operations, an investment in this Company is extraordinarily risky, involving a multiplicity of extreme risks given the conflict of laws and the potential consequences of that conflict, including very substantial legal risk of federal prosecution, penalty and imprisonment, as marijuana is still classified federally as a Schedule 1 narcotic.

It is a felony, in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, to distribute, cultivate or use marijuana; and the very comprehensive federal and international anti-money laundering statutes, including: Bank Secrecy Act (1970), Money Laundering Control Act (1986), Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, Annunzio-Wylie Anti-Money Laundering Act (1992), Money Laundering Suppression Act (1994), Money Laundering and Financial Crimes Strategy Act (1998), Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools to Restrict, Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act [Title III of the USA Patriot Act is referred to as the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001]), Intelligence Reform & Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. At least a portion of these provisions expressly include restrictions upon the use of the banking system to transfer the proceeds of such investments, which could be viewed as money laundering.

These violations are irrespective of the laws of any state, at any time, despite its current position. The current federal guidelines are outlined in the Federal Department of Justice guidelines regarding Marijuana Related Financial Crimes dated February 14th, 2014, commonly referred to as the Cole Memorandum: http: //www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/oip/legacy/2014/07/23/dag-guidance-2011-for-medical-marijuana-us.... And more recently, in December 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 83 ''Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015'', defunding the federal war on medical marijuana. The provision passed the Senate and was signed by President Obama. Section 538 of the Act prohibits the use of Department of Justice funds to "prevent [states that legalized the medicinal use of marijuana] from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana."

Similarly, in July 2015 the U.S. Senate Committee voted to prohibit the US Justice Department from interfering in state medical marijuana laws. Despite these recent reversals in governmental policies, however, there remains a substantial legal risk of federal prosecution, penalty, forfeiture and imprisonment, and for a multitude of potential violations. Additionally, the cost of assuring compliance and the costs associated with otherwise normal business transactions, are substantially enhanced by these circumstances. Risks peculiar to the issuer, also include a very substantial strategic risk associated with lack of ownership and consequent lack of control over the subject property and operations, which lack of ownership and control is mandated by the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which the marijuana is grown. The risks also include a very substantial economic risk, including as a consequence of the foregoing recitation of other legal risks. It is just such risks that that have prevented those in the industry from securing any financing from other sources. Nonetheless, the Department of Justice could choose to prosecute the Operator and its owners, and all those who may be perceived to have aided and abetted, including the Facilitators and the Real Estate Owner. Accordingly, there remains a substantial legal risk of federal prosecution, penalty, forfeiture and imprisonment, and for a multitude of potential violations. Additionally, the cost of assuring compliance and the costs associated with otherwise normal business transactions, are substantially enhanced by these circumstances. Risks also include a very substantial strategic risk associated with lack of ownership and consequent lack of control over the subject property and operations, which lack of ownership and control is mandated by the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which the marijuana is grown.

The risks also include very substantial economic risks, including as a consequence of the foregoing recitation of other risks. It is just such risks that that have prevented the growers from securing any financing from other sources, over a substantial period of time. Finally, given the extraordinary return on the investment, there is even a risk of the financial arrangement being construed as a "loan", which may, at least arguably, not be exempt from applicable usury laws, even though this financial arrangement is not a loan, let alone a conventional loan, but is in the nature of risk capital financing/provision of services and real estate and that the contemplated compensation appears to be, and has been represented by the payors to be commensurate with the multiplicity and magnitude of the risks, including those as above identified".
