LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- (OTCMarkets Disclosure & News Service) TechnoConcepts, Inc. (OTCMarkets/Pinksheets: TCPS) is pleased to announce legendary micro-cap investor Irwin "Izzy" Zalcberg has bought shares in TechnoConcepts, Inc.

Recently, Mr. Zalcberg has been a noted investor in Writ Media Group, Inc., Greenstone Healthcare Corp. and Medgenics, Inc.

Over the last couple of years, several states have embarked on the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. The overwhelming approval of medical marijuana has afforded a huge opportunity for proprietors and investors.

The US legal marijuana market is now assessed at $1.44 billion. The five year national market potential is now approximately $10.2 billion, which is more than a 700% increase over the current market value. Gains will come in the form of increased demands in existing markets as well as new state markets that become approved over the coming years. Adult use of marijuana in Washington and Colorado is projected to add $208 million and $359 million respectively to their markets in 2014 (statistics from Medical Marijuana Business Journal and Pew Research).

Mr. Suarez, Chairman and CEO of TechnoConcepts, said, "As we look to increase shareholder value, we are excited to have investors such as Mr. Zalcberg demonstrate his faith in the initiatives we have undertaken by taking an equity position in our Company."

TechnoConcepts, Inc. and Zimbali, Inc. provide a comprehensive set of solutions to the regulated cannabis industry. Zimbali, Inc. does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or any substances that violate United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future. As of March 21, 2014, twenty states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use Medical Marijuana and voters in the states of Colorado and Washington approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The Obama administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration, nor any future administration, will not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial changes to the Company. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or cannabis related products, we may be harmed by a change in enforcement by Federal or state governments.
