BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 16, 2018 / Stony Hill Corp. (OTCQB: STNY) ("the Company"), a diversified company focused on the legal cannabis industry, is pleased to announce that one of its portfolio companies, GemmaCert, has completed a $2.25 Million Series A-1 financing round (the "Financing").

GemmaCert, will be using proceeds from the Financing to launch their non-destructive desktop cannabis composition and potency testing solution primarily for professional and home growers, processors and dispensaries.

Chris Bridges, President of Stony Hill, commented, "As Stony Hill continues to expand its portfolio into multiple segments of the cannabis industry, this investment has fit very nicely into our strategic vision. This Series A-1 financing round represents a major step for our investee towards becoming the leading testing platform in the cannabis industry."

"GemmaCert will contribute to setting the vital quality norms which will inevitably become standard practice in the cannabis industry. This standard is already widespread across the health and nutrition world, creating a unique strategic growth opportunity in the fast-emerging cannabis market," added Bridges.

"GemmaCert helps overcome the current challenges posed by the heterogenous cannabis flower, paving the way for personalized and reliable dosing, and providing a solution for the unpredictability associated with cannabis effectiveness. The funds raised will accelerate the execution of our business development plans, boost talent recruitment and drive us to generate first revenues in 2018," said Dr. Guy Setton, Co-Founder and CEO of GemmaCert.

"Achieving a consistent dose is crucial for optimal treatment and patient safety, more so as cannabis turns increasingly popular and acceptable," said Prof. Oded Shoseyov, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of GemmaCert. "However, every cannabis flower is unique, differing in terms of composition and potency. That uncertainty challenges effective management for a variety of medical conditions and ailments."

The Financing, led by the Company, combined with additional seed funding, brings GemmaCert's total funding to over $3 million. The Company announced its initial investment in the Tel Aviv, Israel based testing device company on March 14, 2017.
