Re the first link above, I've combined & updated the information, hopefully making it more useable. Much is pasted from my notes - hope it makes sense.

The Rotogro machine
Initially developed 4' diameter machine which has evolved over last 10 years, developed for Cannabis
Gibio wanted a bigger machine for fresh foods, so developed the 8' machine last year.
The 8' machine has a removable drum allowing full automation seed to harvest
Advantages over conventional grow beds:
3 - 6 or 9 times the growing area for same floor space
Gravitropism (due to rotation) - stronger bigger root system - quicker growth, 6 crops pa for mj, 3-4 crops conventional
CO2 precise delivery
Cool light - ducted tube
All plants at a uniform distance from the light source
Plants get full light spectrum due to rotating around it.
Fully automatic, can be remotely controlled by internet
Automated precise feeding & lighting, ph levels etc - proprietary software.
Controlled environment enables consistent repeatable crops
Year round harvesting, not season dependant. Good for labour, drying etc
Use of full 360deg of light cf standard 120 deg
Water savings - they say significant
Power savings - they say 30% - looking at another 50% with LED
HVAC savings re ducted light, small rooms alternating lights on/off in rooms
No pesticides needed, due air sealed small gro rooms, full automation meaning fewer entries to rooms.
Gibio
1st announced May 2018 after having done a year of testing on the 4' machines
Binding letter of Intent
We invested CAD$375k for 9% equity, option ( but not commitment ) to go to 49%
Quebec based, looking to supply a "prominent supermarket" with 36,000 cos lettuces per day
Using 420 machines (8') per facility
Aim to do 10 such facilities in 5 years
Presently designing facility & automation
Next steps:
A binding JV signed with RGI committing to a certain % (financed by discounted machine prices)
Completion of automation of harvesting etc
Build a facility
So in reality, machine orders are still a fair way off
Freshero
https://www.freshero.com.au/
1st announced Aug 2018
HOA provided for testing & a commitment to buy 600 machines in 24 months
CEO Tony mahoney, who was CEO of Freshmax which he built up revenues from $12m to over $400m
also co-founded Nutrano in Nov 2015, had a turnover of $230m in 2017
Worked in Woolworths senior management for 10 years
Business model being done for a major Australian Supermarket
Markets also include SE Asia (Singapore Hong Kong) NZ
We will get a commission on gross sales
Natham Lude, our new Director, runs a company that Freshero's COO & CFO is employed by or consults to.
Long term fixed price supply contracts
Access to warehouse operations owned by a major retailer
Leafy green trials surpassed expectations
Presently doing trials on other crops such as strawberries
They also have enquiries from Qatar & Nevada (Las Vegas I presume)
Looking at full automation from seed to market
8 machines for pilot facility before going full scale
A facility will have 720 machines, 576 lettuce per machine, grow time 18-20 days*, capital cost $20m per facility
* longer than Gibio due to growing a larger head
Next Steps:
Set up pilot facility with full automation - I presume to satisfy the supermarket chain
Sign JV with RGI, fit out their facility
IMO this will be quicker than Gibio who have to build a facility
Rapidly expand to all Capital Cities, NZ, SE Asia, Qatar, Nevada
Both Gibio & Freshero using the same 8' machine and the testing results have surpassed expectations. They are now finessing the seed to harvest automation.
Supra
Paid $11m for Supra's LD (licensed Dealer) 20% cash, 80% equity (based on 52c share) paid after prescribed miletones reached
Have a 44,000 sq ft facility ready to lease (maybe already leased?)
LD has been converted to a processing license under the new Act
Have employed CCI Cannabis Compliance Inc to expedite the change of address & addition of cultivation
CCI successfully attained licenses for Valens & Miracle Valley (who use our setup/machines)
Normal licensing approval takes min 18 months, having a LD will significantly reduce this
Expect to be licensed & commencing cultivation this year
Based on trials, we can produce 4500kg pa per 10,000 sq ft of grow rooms (10)
based on wholesale price of MJ this equates to $33m sales per 10 rooms, could do 30 +
Next steps:
Lease premise (if not already leased)
Transfer of address for Processing License
Fit out 2 rooms to get cultivation license
Formalise offtake agreement with Valens
CSE Listing
Mentioned at AGM and also in last Quarterly
Possibly why we did the recent cap raise so soon
We will look like a bargain to Canadian investors - should strengthen shareprice.
GFS
http://fertigationsolutions.com/
May 2018 purchased Hanson's for $1.75m paid by 5m shares @ 57c
Also 4m performance shares based sales of $5m in 36 months & $10m in 60 months
Based in Nevada
At acquisition date had done 12 licensed Cannabis facilities in Nevada
Feb 2019 CAD$130k order for Frozen Penguin, just for 2000 sq ft - will have 40,000 sq = CAD $2.6m
Feb 2019 $180k order for Polaris
Mar 2019 $220k order for Grove
have ongoing servicing and maint contracts for past sales.
Miracle Valley
https://miraclevalley.ca/about/ though a bit out of date
First mentioned April 2018 with $2.3m order (9 rooms)
In Aug 2018 they said they'd been testing for 12 months
29,000 sq ft facility, order for stage 1
Paid $1m deposit
24 machines delivered (1 grow room to get license)
Awarded Cultivation license in April 2019 (used Cannabis Compliance inc as advisor)
Fully funded, with license can fit out entire facility.
Frozen Penguin
First mentioned Aug 2018 - had then been testing for 6 months
$600k order for 48 machines for 1st 2000 sq ft - will go to 40,000 sq ft = $12m
Paid 50% deposit, delivery end of Q2 (June)
Late stage applicant - no cultivation license yet
MV took delivery of machines in Feb, received license 2 months later in Apr,
So Frozen Penguin should get license in a similar timeframe.
Other
From AGM at least 6 other clients testing machines
Revenues for this Q should surpass $1m with $600k Frozen Penguin order + Fertigation etc
Very cheap compared with peers, we'll have $1m + revenue this Q.
Our Market cap of $22.7m compares with say Cann Group $300m with no revenues.
Now looking at no or low equity JVs with cannabis cultivators - advanced negotiations
