$TGODF Building New Capacity upon First Commercial Cannabis Crop

  • Full-scale cannabis legalization in Canada in October led to a rush of consumer interest and a resultant shortage of supply as the new industry adapts
  • The Green Organic Dutchman is improving on its initial commercial crop by building facilities with 195,000 kilograms of annual production capacity
  • The company’s reach includes cultivation facilities in Canada and Jamaica, with additional hemp production in Poland
  • Vast distribution capabilities spread wide across Canada, Jamaica, Mexico and Europe

Soaring demand for legal cannabis products has strengthened the long-term outlook for cannabis cultivator The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), which is expanding its production capability as well as its international footprint in a bid to stay abreast of the market’s sweeping tide.

Canada’s nationwide legalization of cannabis in October opened the doors to a huge buying spree by consumers, even as its newly regulated industry struggled to cross the bar into the unknown expanse of legitimate high-quality marijuana production while the black market outlets that the legal industry threatened to extinguish continued to snap up customers unwilling to wait for the new market’s wheels to turn (http://nnw.fm/acNI8).

Legal cannabis retail outlets in Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan reported supply shortages in late November, and Khurram Malik, CEO of diversified cannabis company Biome Grow, predicted that supply might only be adequate to meet demand by 2020 or later, according to the Motley Fool (http://nnw.fm/b47rS).

At the forefront of authorized producers, The Green Organic Dutchman dedicated its first commercial crop to a closed “Grower’s Circle” group of patients and investors as a show of loyalty to “those who supported TGOD and those who are most in need of medical cannabis therapy,” according to its third-quarter operations report. At the same time, the company was working to expand its existing 27,000 square feet of production space in Hamilton, Ontario, into an operation that’s expected to ramp-up to nearly 200,000 kilograms of annual capacity across Ontario, Quebec and Jamaica when construction is completed early next year, as well as scalable hemp capacity in Poland.

The company is improving efficiency measures in its existing commercial cultivation while developing five new strains for the medical and recreational markets amid the race to provide patients and other consumers with consistent, premium product.

The Motley Fool report notes the declining stock values of many cannabis producers following Canada’s transition to legalization, adding that investors may become increasingly unhappy if losses increase while growers continue expanding their capacity and working on product diversification, branding and marketing. That includes The Green Organic Dutchman, which the report describes as a potential top-five producer once it gets running on all cylinders with its expected 195,000 kilograms of annual production (including 40,000 kilogram-equivalents from edibles and cannabis-infused beverages as they become legal).

The Green Organic Dutchman acknowledged in its third quarter report that “expanding its operations, administration and marketing infrastructure to rapidly scale its business” resulted in a loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, but it stated that those losses were in line with budgeted expectations.

Chief Financial Officer Sean Bovingdon noted in the third quarter report that The Green Organic Dutchman “has secured its financial future by raising over $450 million [and] fully funding [the company’s] current domestic and international plans,” adding that TGOD has “no plans to return to the market for additional capital at this time.”

Bovingdon continued, “We have de-risked the capital side of our business and with our focus now on delivering medical and recreational sales in Canada and internationally. We expect to drive significant value for shareholders in 2019 and beyond.”

$VVCIF Reports Record Revenue for Q3 2018

  • Revenue of $2.3 million
  • Pro-Forma Revenue of $4.4 million

NAPANEE, Ontario, Nov. 30, 2018 — VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX-V: VIVO, OTCQX: VVCIF) (“VIVO” or the “Company”), a licensed producer of cannabis under the Cannabis Act through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ABcann Medicinals Inc. (“ABcann”) and Canna Farms Limited (“Canna Farms”), is pleased to announce the release of its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The results represent the Company’s strongest financial performance to date.

“The acquisition of Canna Farms represents a transformational transaction in the evolution of VIVO that has led to a record quarter of $2.3 million revenue, with $4.4 million of pro forma revenue for the full quarter. Not only has this acquisition provided a significant revenue impact, it has tripled our production capacity, expanded our product range and substantially increased our medical patient base,” stated Barry Fishman, CEO of VIVO.

Q3 2018 Highlights

  • Q3 revenue of $2.3 million
  • Completion of the acquisition of Canna Farms on August 31, 2018, resulting in pro forma Q3 revenue of $4.4 million (the revenue that VIVO would have reported had Canna Farms been owned for the entire quarter)
  • At the end of Q3 2018, total medical cannabis patients of 18,000 compared to 2,000 at the end of Q2 2018 (representing a 9-fold increase)
  • Entry into adult-use supply agreements with British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the Yukon, and Canna Farms achieving one of the best order fulfillment rates in the industry
  • Beacon Medical™ product was introduced into the Australian market
  • The upgrading of the Company’s common shares to the OTCQX® Best Market in the United States
  • Completion of corporate re-branding, including name change to VIVO Cannabis and the launch of the Beacon Medical™ cannabis brand
  • Introduction of the Lumina™ and Fireside™ adult-use cannabis brands
  • Expansion of senior level management team and appointment of Daniel Laflamme to the Company’s board of directors.

Highlights Subsequent to Q3 2018

  • The launch of Harvest Medicine’s HMED Connect telemedicine app, which allows patients across Canada to access Harvest Medicine’s class-leading education and patient-centric model at any time, and is expected to create significant partnership opportunities with pharmacies, long-term care facilities and insurance companies
  • Acquisition of Trauma Healing Centres (“THC”), a leading east coast chain of medical cannabis clinics, resulting in Harvest Medicine and THC currently operating six clinic locations across four provinces representing a total of 22,000 active patients
  • Strategic equity investments in Canadian cannabis retailers, National Access Cannabis Corp. and Westleaf Cannabis Inc.
  • VIVO’s capacity to supply both the medical and adult-use markets will be enhanced in the first half of 2019 with internal expansion in BC and Ontario and through certified third-party partner supply agreements.

Financial Results

VIVO reported revenues of $2.3 million and a net loss of $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, as the Company continues to invest to drive future growth. Non-recurring advertising and promotion expenses incurred in preparation for the launch of the adult-use market on October 17, 2018 and expenses related to the Canna Farms acquisition were a material factor in the increase in net loss.

As at September 30, 2018, the Company had $100 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, total assets of $285 million, total liabilities of $61 million, and 291 million common shares outstanding.

$PBIO Capitalizing on Ultra Shear Technology, Including in CBD Oil

Interviewing with Proactive Investors, CEO Richard T. Schumacher Also Highlights and Accentuates Importance of Timely Appointment of Dr. Brad Young as Chief Commercial Officer

SOUTH EASTON, MA / November 28, 2018 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI” or the “Company”), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences and other industries, today announced that Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO, was interviewed by broadcast journalist Christine Corrado of Proactive Investors, a leading multi-media news organization, investor portal and events management business with offices in New York, Sydney, Toronto, Frankfurt, and London.

Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”), the Company’s proprietary processing method, uniquely combines ultra high pressure with intense shearing forces to potentially create a wide range of high value product innovations for multiple major consumer and industrial markets. During the interview, Mr. Schumacher discussed the two major milestones recently achieved by the Company in its accelerated UST development program. While doing so, he described how the Company recently completed the development of the first working prototype of the UST system and had subsequently used this prototype system to demonstrate a unique and profound capability for making high value oil-based materials dissolve in water. Mr. Schumacher expanded on the Company’s vision for applying this ability to make oils soluble in water, which he believed would allow the Company to enter or serve multiple large and growing markets, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics.

Responding to Ms. Corrado’s questions, Mr. Schumacher stated that the Company had selected an initial focus for these efforts on the rapidly-growing CBD Oil market, estimated by the Brightfield Group to grow to about $22 billion by 2022. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that water soluble CBD could potentially solve several critical issues currently throttling development of this market, including the need to significantly increase the efficiency of CBD absorption by the body, the need to decrease the cost of CBD production per use, and the need to produce high quality, water soluble CBD with minimized quantities of added chemicals. Mr. Schumacher then discussed why he believes PBI’s proprietary UST platform could successfully meet these requirements.

Mr. Schumacher also devoted considerable attention to discussing the recent addition of the Company’s new Chief Commercial Officer, Dr. Bradford A. Young, including an overview of Dr. Young’s blend of scientific and business education and leadership experience. Mr. Schumacher underlined his excitement for the contribution he anticipated from Dr. Young in developing and implementing a new commercialization strategy for the Company that could successfully drive product adoption and accelerate revenue growth. Mr. Schumacher concluded by noting that Dr. Young and he had begun to explore potential opportunities in the CBD space and that they had received strong interest from several groups with whom they had spoken.

Jeffrey N. Peterson, PBI’s Board Chairman , stated: “We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to share the Company’s recent milestones with a rapidly expanding, worldwide audience of potential investors, partners, customers, and collaborators. Proactive Investors is a well-respected, far-reaching multi-media news organization with the ability to effectively broadcast the corporate stories investors need to hear. We appreciated the insightful interview opportunity with Christine Corrado and we hope that many of their viewers will have the opportunity to watch this milestone interview. Ric Schumacher does an excellent job of explaining the expected impact of our powerful new UST platform, in conveying our excitement for the potential of this proprietary system to be a game-changer in the CBD/cannabinoids and other marketplaces, and in discussing the potential impact that the UST platform could have on our future revenue and growth.”

$PFSF Aims to Streamline Trade Between Brazil and China

Pacific Software (OTC: PFSF) is currently developing a proprietary multi-lingual ecommerce B2B and B2C trade platform. The platform, anticipated to be released by the end of the year, is intended to ease trade between exporters in Brazil and importers in China. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Pacific Software is touting the benefits of its blockchain trade platform in smoothing the passage of Brazil’s substantial beef exports to China (mostly Hong Kong), presently running at a rate of about $5 billion per annum. The platform will improve transparency and trust with regard to origin, product quality and product safety and allow food contamination to be more easily detected by tracing the exact source. This will reduce costs tremendously. Under present systems, large quantities of both good food and bad are recalled and destroyed, because it is difficult to pinpoint the precise origin of an outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella enteritidis or some other contaminant. In addition, it could save lives. Every year, around 420,000 people die due to food contaminated by bacteria, chemicals, viruses, parasites and toxins.”

$SNNVF Q3 2018 Financial Results, Strategic Update on Canadian Operations

Third Quarter Highlights 

  • Revenue of $3.8 million with gross margin of 56%
  • Year to date revenue of $13.4 million, up over 30% year over year
  • Initial operations and revenue from the Extraction Facility (as defined below)
  • Closed $23 million bought deal financing (the “Offering”)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 28, 2018 – Sunniva Inc. (“Sunniva”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) (CSE:SNN) (OTCQB:SNNVF), a North American provider of cannabis products and services, today released its financial and operational results and management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine months for the third quarter of 2018 ended September 30, 2018. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars ($) unless otherwise stated. Sunniva’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

“We continue to make progress towards completion of Phase 1, the first 325,000 square feet, of our purpose built, high-technology cannabis greenhouse in Cathedral City, California.  While we have remained committed to advancing our operations in order to play a leadership role in the California cannabis market as we launch our first Sunniva branded products in the first quarter of 2019, we have maintained solid performance of our existing operations with $3.8 million in revenue and gross margins of 56% in the third quarter.  We have now generated year to date revenue of $13.4 million, a 30 percent increase over this same period last year,” said Anthony Holler, Chief Executive Officer of Sunniva.

“With our strategic assets in place in California, we are now in a position to accelerate our revenue growth by advancing upon our upstream vertical opportunities.  We will soon demonstrate our ability to become one of the lowest cost operators producing pesticide-free, premium quality cannabis products, and achieving true vertical integration by:

  • leveraging our purpose built, large-scale, high technology cGMP designed greenhouse in Cathedral City (the “Sunniva California Campus”);
  • accelerating production within our licensed volatile and non-volatile extraction facility in Cathedral City, California (the “Extraction Facility”);
  • producing and stockpiling inventory for Sunniva-branded product launches commencing Q1 2019;
  • completing the pending acquisition of LTYR Logistics, LLC (“LTYR”) for state-wide distribution of Sunniva-branded products;
  • aggressively pursuing dispensary retail expansion throughout California; and
  • integrating our additions to the California management team to facilitate growth and revenues in 2019.

Dr. Holler continued, “In Canada, we concluded our formal engagement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. to conduct a thorough examination of the Canadian cannabis market to define Sunniva’s strategy for our Canadian operations. We can confirm the Company intends to spin-out its Canadian assets (the “Spin-Out”) into a separate Canadian entity (“Spinco”).  Our Canadian assets include Natural Health Services Ltd. (“NHS”), which owns our seven physician-based medical clinics throughout Canada and Sunniva Medical Inc. (“SMI”), which is our licensed producer applicant and owns the 126-acre parcel of land in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, the site for a large-scale, purpose-built cGMP designed greenhouse (the “Sunniva Canada Campus”).”

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company generated $3.7 million and $13.4 million in revenue, respectively. NHS contributed $2.5 million and $8.4 million, Full-Scale Distributors, LLC (“FSD”) contributed $1.1 million and $4.9 million, and CP Logistics, LLC contributed $0.1 million over these same periods. Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $6.8 million and $18.0 million as compared to $6.3 million and $18.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The key components contributing to the change in net loss from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the prior comparative periods comprise the following:

  • Revenue decreased by $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and increased by $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the respective comparative periods.  NHS revenue decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to a decline in the number of prescriptions written over the comparative period; however, NHS revenue increased by $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to an increase in the number of clinics and Licensed Producers (“LPs”) under contract over the comparative period.  FSD revenue decreased slightly by $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 but increased by $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to an increased customer base and strong first quarter 2018 results.  The increase over the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017 is also due to the acquisitions of NHS and FSD midway through February 2017.
  • Gross margin increased by $0.4 million and $2.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increase of LP revenue in NHS.  LP revenue provides the highest margin of all the Company’s revenue streams.  On a percentage basis, gross margin increased from 38% and 41% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to 56% and 52% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the increase in LP revenue.
  • Selling, general and administration expenses increased by $1.3 million and $7.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in operational spend with the Company’s continued expansion, higher costs associated with being a publicly-listed company and increased advisory costs related to the development of the cultivation businesses in California and Canada.   The most significant increase in costs relate to professional fees, personnel costs and rent.  The increase over the comparative period is also due to the acquisitions of NHS and FSD occurring midway through the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • Share-based payment expenses were $2.3 million and $6.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $3.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 with the introduction of the Company’s stock option plan mid-way through fiscal 2017.
  • The Company realized a non-cash gain of $1.0 million on settlement of a secured convertible promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of FSD in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
  • Fair value changes in derivative instruments due to the revaluation of secured convertible promissory notes and warrants went from a gain of $0.3 million and an expense of $8.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to gains of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  This was due to a decrease in the Company’s share price in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and significant fair value changes in fiscal 2017 with the Company’s private share value increasing throughout fiscal 2017.
  • Amortization and depreciation expense increased by $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to a higher cost base of the assets in fiscal 2018 and the intangible assets being acquired midway through the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • The Company’s cash position is $11.2 million as of the date hereof.

Recent Operating Developments Subsequent to September 30, 2018

  • On October 12, 2018, the Company completed the Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $23.0 million.  A total of 4,370,000 units were sold at a price of $5.27 per unit. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for construction and operations at the Sunniva Canada Campus and Sunniva California Campus, with the remaining amount funding working capital.
  • On October 16, 2018, the Company signed a letter of intent with a related party, the Oakland Vision Project (“Vision”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding equity interests of the companies that comprise Vision. Vision is jointly owned by Vinayak Shastry, the Company’s President of U.S. Operations.  Vision operates a licensed cultivation facility located in Oakland, California (the “Oakland Facility”) and currently has a contract to supply the Sunniva California Campus with clean clones to initiate production. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions including, among other things: the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between the Company and Vision, completion of due diligence and receipt of regulatory approvals, including approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
  • In November 2018, the Company transitioned from the OTCQX to the OTCQB as a consequence of the decrease in the Company’s share price on the OTCQX which resulted in the Company no longer meeting the qualification requirement that it relied on for the purposes of listing.  The Company will continue to trade under the symbol “SNNVF” and it will have no effect on the reporting obligations of the Company in the United States.
  • On November 26, 2018, the Company signed a binding letter of intent with LTYR, a cannabis distribution company in California that is expected to become Sunniva’s logistics and technology distribution platform to drive sales from Sunniva’s large-scale cannabis production and manufacturing facilities and the launch of Sunniva-branded products commencing Q1 2019.  LTYR will also utilize Sunniva’s Cathedral City distribution and delivery license.  The principal members of LTYR will also perform key management and sales roles in California.  LTYR will continue to generate revenues and expand its existing relationships with over 120 licensed dispensaries throughout California.  Concurrently, Sunniva is purchasing a 4,200 sq. ft warehouse in Long Beach, California that, once licensed and operational, will serve as an additional distribution hub for Sunniva and will expand the Company’s distribution reach from the southern border to San Francisco.  The City of Long Beach is a cannabis friendly region and the warehouse is situated in an industrial district that has been zoned for cannabis business operations.  Renovations and receipt of licensing requirements are expected to be completed in Q2 2019.  Completion of the acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions including, among other things: the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between the Company and LTYR, completion of due diligence and receipt of regulatory approvals, including approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Copies of our interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial results are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

California Operations Update

  • Construction is nearing completion for Phase 1 of the Sunniva California Campus and is expected to be completed in Q1 2019. Total production capacity of Phase 1 is projected to be 50,000 kg (50 million grams) per year of premium indoor cannabis when fully ramped up.  A total of 100,000 plants from the Oakland Facility are being prepared for onboarding for the initial planting cycle in Q1 2019.  Automation will move the plants through their life cycle and when operating at full capacity, the Sunniva California Campus is expected to deliver a continuous daily harvest of approximately 210 kg (2.1 million grams) of dried flower. We continue to work toward the completion of our California state licensing requirements for the Sunniva California Campus. The cultivation licenses are currently being processed and the remaining license applications are being prepared for submission to the state of California. The Company does not expect operational delays from these licensing requirements.  The Sunniva California Campus will be a 489,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art, purpose-built cGMP facility capable of producing 72,500 kg (72.5 million grams) per year of dried flower at peak capacity once construction of Phase 2 is completed.
  • The Extraction Facility, licensed for both volatile and non-volatile extraction processes, commenced operations in July 2018. The extraction team has been manufacturing and perfecting its extracted product lines and developing product formulations.  Sunniva is currently stockpiling inventory in preparation for the launch of Sunniva-branded product lines in Q1 2019.  The Extraction Facility has the ability to produce vape oil-distillate, ultra-pure concentrates, fresh frozen, shatter, capsules, tinctures, and edibles.  The Extraction Facility adheres to cGMP standards and has the capacity to process over 10,000 lbs of cannabis biomass a month.  Sunniva continues to source compliant third-party biomass and trim through existing relationships which will drive revenues in early 2019.  Reliance on purchases of third-party biomass will be reduced as production from the Sunniva California Campus becomes available.
  • We have been evaluating many retail expansion opportunities to complement our vertical integration strategy.  In addition to the flagship dispensary being built at the Sunniva California Campus, our goal is to pursue other retail acquisitions to expand our footprint in this part of the integration chain.
  • Sunniva has strengthened its California management team in preparation for full operations in 2019.  We have hired Kevin Wilkerson as COO of California operations, Tom Brozowski as Vice President Operations, Andrew Pruett as Vice President of Technology, Jay Myers as Vice President of Sales, Brad Neeld as Vice President of Distribution and Victor Ide, Manager of Human Resources.

Canada Operations Update

  • Our business strategy in Canada will shift from becoming a wholesaler of cannabis to a focus on the higher margin direct to patient medicinal cannabis market. Currently in Canada, there are approximately 400,000 registered cannabis patients, with that number forecasted to grow to over two million registered patients in the next three years.  NHS has 105,000 registered patients to date and with 100% ownership of seven physician-based clinics across Canada, we feel we have a significant competitive advantage in capturing additional market share in this area.
  • We have defined a clear path to accelerate our licensing and production timelines through SMI at the Sunniva Canada Campus by starting construction of a smaller modular phased approach that will require less than $1.5 million in cash capital expenditures.  Production from this modular phase will be key to achieving our goal of 20,000 registered patients in 2019 and over 50,000 in 2020.  We intend to increase future production capacity through phased development of the Sunniva Canada Campus.
  • The Company intends to spin out its Canadian assets into Spinco and apply to list the shares of Spinco on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) first half of 2019.

Spin-Out Steps and Anticipated Timelines

  • Borden Ladner Gervais LLP has been engaged to handle the legal aspects of the Spin-Out including outlining the steps, timeline, preparation of the information circular and making the necessary regulatory and court applications.

$PNNRF Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Water-Soluble Cannabis Technology JD

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 28, 2018 — Redfund Capital Corp (CSE: LOAN) (Frankfurt: O3X4) (OTC: PNNRF) is pleased to announce that portfolio client Biolog Inc. has formed a partnership with Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC:NUGS), to develop water-soluble cannabis technologies to be used as ingredients for cannabis and phytocannabinoid rich-infused foods, beverages and consumer products.  Under the agreement, Biolog will develop the new technologies with Cannabis Strategic Ventures and will jointly deploy marketing efforts to get the products to the marketplace.

Cannabinoids (CBD, etc.) are hydrophobic substances which are not typically soluble in water. To date, cannabis formulators have utilized various techniques to make CBD oils water compatible, but encounter many drawbacks in the existing processes. The joint development effort between Biolog Inc. and Cannabis Strategic Ventures will seek to push past these current limitations to develop a new set of functional cannabinoid ingredients that can be easily added to foods, beverages, cosmetics and other consumer products that significantly improve bioavailability and overall benefits to the human body.

Simon Yu, CEO, Cannabis Strategic Ventures comments, “We believe water-soluble cannabis technologies open new avenues for the development of cannabinoid-based products.”  He added,  “Over the past year we have reviewed several supposed water-soluble cannabinoids technologies but have passed on adoption due to technological limitations. The new product class that is in development with Biolog holds great potential and we are enthusiastically backing this developmental effort.”

“Working alongside Cannabis Strategic Ventures and assisting them to realize their mandate building their products brands using Biolog technology shows collaboration of incubators in the space. Branded products are the niche we believe will lead the industry just as patented medical products lead pharma for many decades. Biolog’s licensing agreements with Lexaria makes them a leader of the medical cannabis pack. This client in our portfolio looks to be our next go-public prodigy,” stated Meris Kott, CEO, Redfund Capital Corp.

About Redfund Capital

Redfund intends to provide debt and equity funding in the mid-to-late stages of a target company’s development, or in technologies that are developed and validated by revenues. The present focus of the merchant bank is on medical cannabis, hemp and CBD-related, healthcare-related target companies.

$RIV.V 420 with CNW – Cannabis PTSD Study Finally Secures Target Number of Participants

A team of researchers interested in finding out whether cannabis could treat PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) among veterans finally registered its 76th study participant on Veterans Day.

The Scottsdale Research Institute located in Phoenix, AZ got permission from the FDA to conduct the research in 2010. The researchers then started recruiting study participants in 2016 but hit several speed bumps in their efforts to get the required minimum number of participants (76 veterans).

First, the researchers were denied access to the veterans’ hospital just 20-miles away from the facility where the research is being conducted. The Veterans Affairs department refused to grant access because federal laws regarded cannabis as a substance that didn’t have any medicinal value.

Public hospitals and universities in Arizona also refused to cooperate with the researchers as they recruited study participants citing federal laws as restricting them from being part of a study on an illegal substance.

These challenges nearly made the researchers widen the scope of the research so that non-veterans could also be allowed to enroll.

However, such a move would have defeated the purpose of the study since the researchers were specifically interested in investigating whether cannabis could treat PTSD in military veterans. The search for participants therefore dragged on as thousands were screened and rejected for not meeting the strict requirements of the study.

Gradually, the number of eligible participants started growing until the climax was reached almost two years after the recruitment exercise for participants started.

The researchers now have the 76 participants that they need to proceed with their randomized, controlled study of how marijuana can help veterans with chronic forms of PTSD.

Each day, the study participants will be given 1.8 grams of marijuana. This cannabis will vary in potency and the participants will keep a journal of how they feel or anything else noteworthy during the study period. The participants will also be free to decide how much of that daily ration to smoke.

The study subjects will visit the research institute 17 times during the 12-week duration of the study. The participants will then be followed up for six months after the initial 12-weeks of treatment with cannabis.

The researchers hope to publish their findings in 2019 after getting a definitive answer of whether cannabis can treat PTSD in veterans, and whether it has any adverse effects on those former servicemen and women.

This research comes at a time when efforts are being made to pass House Bills aimed at regulating and granting access to medical cannabis by veterans. The scientific community and cannabis industry players, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) await the results of this Phoenix study.

$TGODF Expansion of CBD – Hemp Continues to Explode as Demand, Sales Revenues Climb

Palm Beach, FL – (October 2, 2018) – While there may have been a recent pull back on Cannabis stocks, one thing that remains strong is the grow operations show no signs of slowing and instead continue to expand.  The cannabis industry’s growth is forcing industry cannabis focused companies to evaluate the current state of their operations, both in terms of scale and efficiency. Despite market conditions, more importantly as demand rises and retail sales improve, companies are still choosing to expand operations with investment and innovation. Driving the demand could also be attributed to the change in federal policy in the U.S. and recent legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada.  According to Bill Sumner, a Hemp Business Journal contributor, as the industry impatiently awaits passage of the 2018 Farm Bill and pending removal of hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, companies are quickly moving to position themselves as leading suppliers of hemp-based CBD products, and investors are all too happy to help foot the bill.  Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE:GHG) (OTC:GBHPF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB), Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE:LHS) (OTC:LHSIF), GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:GWPH), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF).

Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE:GHG.CN) (OTCPK:GBHPF) BREAKING NEWS:  Global Hemp Group and its joint venture partner Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC:MCOA) (the “Partners”) are pleased to provide an update on the harvest at their high yielding CBD hemp project in Scio, Oregon.

The 2018 Scio cultivation consisted of 33 acres of high yielding CBD hemp (utilizing six different cultivars with an expected CBD content ranging from 6% to 12%) was grown in an orchard style cultivation on the two lower fields at the property. With the help of near perfect weather in the region extending the harvest period by several weeks, the hemp had the opportunity to grow to full maturity and allowed the team to completely harvest all plants grown, before the fall rains began in the valley. For pictures from this season’s cultivation, please visit the Scio project page on GHG’s website – https://globalhempgroup.com/scio-oregon.

As with most things on the hemp farm this year, innovation was the key to success. There were many challenges throughout the year; from getting a late start due to delays in closing of the farm acquisition, to preparing the fields, drying, harvesting and storage, but the team in Scio was able to find solutions when required. Our team consists of a number of crew members that are extremely innovative, who are trained in a variety of skill sets. They are well versed in everything from metal fabrication, fine carpentry, and large equipment operation, so the team is able to set up, build, and/or operate pretty much everything themselves at the project. With the addition of a number of knowledgeable advisers to assist, the team was able to solve all challenges that arose during the course of the season.

The Harvest – This year’s harvest consisted of approximately 37,000 high yielding CBD hemp plants producing 24 tons of biomass. Harvesting this year was done by hand, making it extremely labour intensive and time consuming. The team has created a number of solutions that will automate both the harvesting and planting of the hemp for next year’s crop. Ultimately, the goal is to completely automate these processes, making it more efficient and less costly to complete. The team has now begun working on prototypes to automate the harvesting processes and expect to have machinery ready for use next season.

Drying – A number of different drying techniques were employed with this year’s harvest. In the end, “old school” hanging techniques proved to be the most effective and efficient. Drying took place in the farm’s larger 20 foot high, 4,000 sq. ft. greenhouses which allowed for an increased quantity of plants being dried at any one time. Drying took approximately 36 to 48 hours to dry the hemp to be levels required for storage and ultimately extraction. With each successive batch of drying, techniques were improved to increase the volume of biomass being dried in the greenhouse, while decreasing the time that it took to hang and dry it.

Results – The drying process for all of the hemp harvested is now complete and is stored awaiting further processing. The farm produced 48,000 pounds of dried biomass, which is stockpiled in quarter ton super sacks, stacked three bags high and requiring approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of storage space. Despite the late start in planting this season, the hemp plants still achieved sufficient size to produce the anticipated quantity of biomass. It is expected that in 2019, planting will begin June 1st giving the hemp an addition 30-45 days of growing time. This will produce much larger plants, resulting in significantly larger quantities of biomass.   Read this and more news for Global Hemp Group at http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-ghg

Both EPIDIOLEX doses also demonstrated statistically significant improvements on all key secondary endpoints. “The positive outcome in this second trial of EPIDIOLEX in patients with Dravet syndrome further reinforces the effectiveness of this newly available medicine in this particularly difficult to treat, childhood-onset epilepsy,” stated Ian Miller, M.D., Director, Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Program at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, FL and principal investigator of the trial. “The totality of data from the controlled clinical trials completed for EPIDIOLEX have shown clinically meaningful seizure reductions and a consistent safety and tolerability profile. I am excited that this recently approved and important new treatment option is now available for my patients.”

$SNNVF Acquisition of California Distribution Company Primes Branded Cannabis Products

  • LTYR Logistics, LLC to become Sunniva’s logistics and technology distribution platform to drive sales from Sunniva’s large-scale cannabis production facilities, following the launch of Sunniva branded products commencing Q1 2019
  • Sunniva acquires highly skilled management and sales team with a retail network of more than 120 licensed retail dispensaries throughout California
  • Compliant distribution is a vital segment of the highly regulated California cannabis industry with track and trace implementation coming in January 2019. For all movement of cannabis products in California, distributors are subject to additional responsibility for product testing and safety as well as state tax collection

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 27, 2018  — Sunniva Inc. (“Sunniva” or the “Company”) (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF), today announced the acquisition of 100% of LTYR Logistics, LLC (“LTYR”) (the “Acquisition”), a California-based cannabis distribution company headquartered in San Diego. LTYR’s strong leadership and proven ability to effectively execute growth strategies utilizing its distribution capabilities within the cannabis space are the primary drivers of this acquisition. LYTR will play an instrumental role in driving Sunniva’s leadership position in California as a truly vertically integrated cannabis company across the entire value chain, from seed to sale.

Kevin V. Wilkerson (CEO) leads the LTYR team and has joined Sunniva as the Chief Operating Officer of Sun CA Holdings, Sunniva’s 100% owned California operating subsidiary. Mr. Wilkerson is a Harvard Masters degree graduate and has been a successful entrepreneur in numerous businesses. Kevin has been active in the cannabis space since 2014, providing operations, distribution logistics and technology expertise to the industry. He retired as a Colonel in the US Army after a distinguished 24 year career where he commanded over 4,000 troops and received the Bronze Star. In connection with the acquisition, Mr. Wilkerson will be responsible for all of Sunniva’s California operations.

The other co-founders of LTYR have also joined Sunniva in various management roles. Jay Myers will become Vice President of Sales in California and Brad Neeld will become Vice President of Distribution. Mr. Myers has operated in sales within the cannabis space in both Colorado and California since 2012 following a successful executive management, sales/marketing, and leadership career for companies such as West Coast Consulting and Bank of America. Prior to that, he served 12 years as a Navy SEAL. Mr. Neeld was one of the first large-scale commercial cultivators in Colorado before entering distribution in California. His retail relationships and cultivation knowledge reach far beyond distribution strategies and include scientific aspects of the cannabis core DNA and molecular strain structure.

“Over the last six months, we have evaluated several distribution opportunities to complement our vertical integration strategy with the goal of being able to sell all of the products we produce in our California facilities. Our operations and marketing teams have been working closely with the LTYR team analyzing consumer market data, demand metrics and pricing economics to better define all upcoming Sunniva product lines in preparation of our brand launches commencing in the first quarter of 2019. Kevin and his team are proven distribution, operations and execution specialists and we have the utmost confidence in their distribution capabilities as Sunniva ramps up for large-scale production in 2019 from both of our high-tech greenhouse and extraction facilities,” said Dr. Anthony Holler, CEO of Sunniva. “Over the past quarter, we have been actively manufacturing and stockpiling inventory for our brand launches and we are excited about achieving significant revenue from all our vertical growth opportunities in 2019.”

Kevin Wilkerson, CEO of LTYR Logistics added, “One of the biggest challenges that distribution companies in California are experiencing is getting access to compliant, pesticide-free cannabis products on a large-scale. Compliant cultivation at scale is the quintessential pillar in California for the future success of any brand, distribution company or retail chain. We are very excited to join a preeminent partner like Sunniva that will ensure safe, reproducible, premium-quality cannabis products on a very large scale. After touring both Sunniva’s 325,000 square foot purpose-built cannabis greenhouse and the extraction facility in Cathedral City, we were very impressed with the level of meticulous design and implementation of top tier commercial agriculture technologies and automation. While we had a variety of opportunities available to us, partnering with Sunniva was the most logical choice for our shareholders to take our business to the next level.”

LTYR – Further Information

$DPW Authorizes Pursuit of Spinoff of Super Crypto Mining

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 27, 2018 — DPW Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW), a diversified holding company (“DPW,” or the “Company”), announced today that its Board of Directors, at a meeting on Friday, November 23, 2018, has authorized the officers of DPW to pursue a spinoff of DPW’s wholly-owned subsidiary Super Crypto Mining, Inc. (“Super Crypto”). The Company’s action demonstrates its confidence in the long-term viability of crypto-mining and the cryptocurrency marketplace and endeavors to provide Super Crypto’s management team the tools and independence necessary to achieve and surpass its goals in 2019 and beyond. The Company intends to declare a distribution of shares of common stock of Super Crypto to the stockholders of DPW, with the date of the distribution to be determined once a registration statement on Form 10 has been declared effective by the SEC and the information statement has been mailed to DPW’s stockholders. DPW believes that the spinoff will benefit both DPW and Super Crypto as well as their respective stockholders for many reasons, with the principal ones consisting of the following:

  •         The separation of the two businesses should not only enable their respective management teams to concentrate on the operations of the company for which they are responsible but also facilitate analysts’, market makers’ and others’ ability to ascertain the value of each entity and thus provide more clarity to the market through, among other reasons, being able to review two separate financial statements which could in turn lead to higher valuations for each entity;

           •         Investors, including portfolio managers and other institutional investors, who are interested in the cryptocurrency sector could initiate, maintain, or increase their position in Super Crypto, whereas investors who are not interested could take the alternate approach; as a result, the spinoff could enhance both companies’ ability to raise financing to expand their operations, among other objectives;

           •         Since a new board of directors would be established for Super Crypto, the members thereof should bring more expertise in the cryptocurrency sector to bear on their decision-making, and enable the members of the DPW Board of Directors to focus on a business with which they are more familiar; this in turn should lead to additional benefits such as a better allocation of capital and human resources; and

          •         Once spun off, Super Crypto should be able to use its shares as currency to pursue a variety of objectives, an option not presently available to it as DPW owns all its shares of its capital stock.

Any plan that the Company devises will be subject to approval by DPW’s senior secured creditor and certain regulatory bodies.

CEO and Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III said, “As stated during our investor conference call on December 20, 2017, the acquisition of assets that would appreciate under our ownership and the creation of increased shareholder value through our portfolio companies and projects was our top priority. By spinning off our cryptocurrency assets, we are separating disparate businesses and providing the opportunity to hold stock in a pureplay crypto company. We are confident crypto-mining and the cryptocurrency marketplace will flourish in the long term and think there is significant value in Super Crypto and its various initiatives which require the ability to finance their growth independently. Regardless of the current downturn in the cryptocurrency space, we believe the assets of Super Crypto will be able to serve as the foundation of an independent company with the ability to raise its own capital. Further, this transaction positions Super Crypto Mining for a bitcoin recovery. It is our intent to declare a special dividend of no less than 80% of the common stock of Super Crypto to DPW stockholders.”

For more information, DPW recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read the Company’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at www.DPWHoldings.com or available at www.sec.gov.

$VVCIF 420 with CNW – Marijuana No Effect on Kidney Transplant Outcomes, Research

In the U.S., people who admit using or test positive for cannabis are routinely denied kidney transplants or turned away when they offer to donate their kidneys. This practice has gone unchallenged until a recent study proved that marijuana doesn’t affect the outcomes of kidney transplant surgery.

The research to find out how marijuana affects recipients of kidneys during and after the transplant surgery was partly inspired by the story of a man in Maine who was denied a kidney and even removed from the waitlist because he was a user of medical cannabis.

A group of researchers reviewed the transplant records at one kidney transplant facility from 2000 to 2016. The data on the donors and kidney recipients was grouped based on whether those people consumed cannabis or not.

31 of the donors reviewed were found to have used cannabis while 27 of the kidney recipients were also consumers of marijuana.

The comparison revealed that no difference existed between the recipients who got kidneys from consumers of cannabis and those whose donors didn’t consume cannabis.

The researchers concluded that facilities should start accepting donors who consume cannabis since the substance doesn’t have any discernible effect on the performance of the kidneys after the transplant surgery.

Such a shift would increase the pool of possible donors in order to reduce the long waitlists for matches between donors and potential recipients. Finding a match is already hard enough as it is, so there is no justification to prevent potential donors from participating just because those donors have a history of consuming cannabis.

The researchers hope that their findings trigger a discussion in the scientific community and the medical centers involved in conducting kidney transplants.

The walls and stereotypes surrounding marijuana seem to be collapsing one by one. It is refreshing to realize that debunking the myths and misconceptions on cannabis is being spearheaded by the scientific community. Their findings cannot be accused of fueling propaganda either for or against marijuana. They are simply putting the facts straight.

Hopefully, those scientific studies will trigger a mindset change in the collective consciousness of communities that have for decades been brainwashed into thinking that the cannabis plant was evil and was connected to many of the social ills plaguing different communities.

Cannabis companies like TransCanna and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) welcome the findings of the researchers studying the relationship between cannabis consumption and kidney transplant outcomes. Such findings validate some of the things that cannabis companies have been saying all along.

$TGODF CBD Products on the Rise

POINT ROBERTS, Wash. and DELTA, British Columbia, Nov. 26, 2018 — Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing global opportunity for CBD consumable products as regulations move towards global acceptance of CBD products.

Cannabis is fast becoming a growing sector, both in the medicinal and recreational sectors. As much as certain states and countries have begun to regulate this potential giant industry, CBD and specifically hemp strains of cannabis have begun to overshadow the general cannabis sector.

Seeing the opportunity at the start of 2018, EnviroTechnologies International, Inc., a publicly traded company (OTC: ETII) that develops and markets green, natural and organic products for diverse industries first announced the acquisition of CBD Health Co. (www.cbdhealthco.com), a company that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, as a wholly owned subsidiary.

One of the products that uniquely position them as a public company is the CBD Hemp Protein, which caters to the health and sports markets. According to an article discussing its benefits “hemp—one of the most versatile plants on earth—offers a high-quality, eco-friendly source that can support muscle gain, fat loss, and peak performance.”

EnviroTechnologies International updated shareholders on this acquisition in today’s news. “We acquired CBD Health Co. because our company was founded to use green and natural products to make our environment safer and promote products that improve our quality of life,” said Gaylord Karren, ETI’s CEO. “And CBD Oil products have the potential to not only improve quality of their users’ lives but also create enormous revenues for our company and its shareholders.”

Continued: “For some time, experts have been making predictions about the global CBD market and the expanding acceptance of CBD as a natural health product. And some have predicted, specifically that the entire cannabis market could reach $20 billion by 2020 if the market expands at its current rate,” said Randall Waters, ETI’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “However, recent studies by the Brightfield Group, a company that specializes in providing data and information about the cannabis and CBD markets, avers that the hemp-based CBD market alone could reach $22 billion by 2022.”

Continued: “We see the markets for true hemp-based CBD products such as those produced by CBD Health, continuing to grow and the purchasing demographic multiplying over the next 3-4 years. We are satisfied that CBD Health is on the forefront of this incredible market and that we can tap into this new, accepted hemp-based CBD natural products,” said Waters.

Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA), another company in the CBD space, recently released more details regarding its corporate restructuring to concentrate resources on its rapidly expanding cannabis infused beverage business.

Puration, Inc. is a leading Texas-based CBD-infused beverage provider, with the flagship product being EVERx, which Puration debuted early last year at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘Arnold Sports Festival’.  EVERx has since become the leading CBD infused beverage in the sports nutrition marketplace. The Company recently spun-off its cannabis cultivation segment to focus its efforts exclusively on its high-growth core CBD-infused beverage business.

CV Sciences Inc. (OTC:CVSI), operates as a life science company through two segments, Specialty Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Products. The company focuses on developing and commercializing prescription drugs utilizing synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Its initial drug candidate is CVSI-007 that combines CBD and nicotine for the treatment of smokeless tobacco use and addiction. The company also engages in the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of consumer products containing plant-based CBD under the PlusCBD Oil name in various market sectors, including nutraceutical, beauty care, specialty foods and vape.

CEO Joseph Dowling discussed the company’s Q3 Earnings Report earlier this month saying that, “The momentum from the first half of 2018 has continued and we anticipate a strong finish for the remainder of the year. Through our dedication and commitment to providing the most trusted brand of hemp CBD products we have achieved strong momentum in sales and brand recognition of our plus CBD product line. Our strategic priorities for 2018 include strengthening our distribution channels, growing our brand relevance and recognition, developing new products, penetrating new vertical sales channels and gaining market share in the fastest growing product category in the nutritional supplement industry.”

Even larger scale companies such as the Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF) earlier this year expanded their CBD output by signing a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of privately-held HemPoland.

HemPoland is a leading European manufacturer and marketer of premium organic CBD oils led by founder and CEO, Maciej Kowalski, one of Europe’s most widely recognized CBD experts. This strategic acquisition provides access to HemPoland’s vast distribution network, premium Cannabigold brand, state-of-the-art hemp oil extraction technologies and provides a strategic pathway into the European market for TGOD’s medical & recreational products and licensing deals.

As the CBD trend continues to rise, companies may realize the benefit of focusing strictly on the CBD/Hemp sector. Often noted as a sleeping giant in discussions, consumer awareness and education, plus potential legislative acceptance moves, including the 2018 Farm Bill, will make this a big story for investors moving forward.

  • The Company completed an oversubscribed private placement of subscription receipts at $3.50 for gross proceeds of approximately $101 million, co-led by CIBC Capital Markets, GMP Securities L.P. and Eight Capital, and a concurrent non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately $3.4 million.  This ultimately led to the go public transaction on September 17, 2018 and the Company began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “RIV” on September 20, 2018.
  • On July 24, 2018, the Company made an investment in equity securities of Canapar of $750,000, representing approximately 35% of the non-diluted common shares of Canapar. Canapar is an organic hemp cultivation, extraction and research & development company based in Italy. This marked the Company’s first investment in Europe, and represents a collaboration with a specialized and well-networked investee headquartered in a strategically located region with a rich agricultural history. Canapar is focused on developing and commercializing Italy’s local hemp cultivation industry through an outsource farming model, supporting farmers with continuing education and establishment of organic cannabis cultivation. Canapar intends to purchase hemp on a wholesale basis from farmers and extract organic cannabidiol (“CBD”) oil from the hemp. The Company and Canapar have been working closely together in advancing Canapar’s post-harvest processing of hemp and extraction capabilities. Canapar further benefits from a strategic relationship with the Department of Agriculture at the University of Catania, which carries out significant research regarding agricultural and food production, including hemp-based cultivation and extraction methodology.
  • During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company further bolstered its team with the addition of Narbe Alexandrian as its VP, Business Development. Previously with OMERS Ventures, Alexandrian brings a depth of venture capital experience, specifically in the software and technology sectors.

Portfolio Update:

To date, the Company has made investments in eleven companies, and in doing so has established a diversified portfolio of investments including licensed companies, late stage licence applicants, international hemp cultivators, pharmaceutical formulators, brand developers and distributors, retail networks, and technology and media platforms. The following is an update of selected recent activity of the portfolio companies not already discussed above. For more information regarding the Company’s portfolio investments, please refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 (“MD&A”), filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

  • PharmHouse Inc. (“PharmHouse”) is a joint venture between Canopy Rivers and the principals and operators of a leading North American greenhouse produce conglomerate with specialized agricultural, production, contract manufacturing, branding, distribution, and logistics experience. PharmHouse will operate out of 1.3 million square feet of newly constructed modern greenhouse infrastructure in Leamington, Ontario with the intent of becoming a licensed producer of high-quality greenhouse grown cannabis. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, PharmHouse secured an offtake agreement with fellow Canopy Rivers portfolio company TerrAscend Corp. for 20% of the flowering space at its greenhouse facility until December 31, 2021. PharmHouse also entered into an incremental funding agreement and amended its global non-competition agreement with the Company to include the U.S. cannabis market. The Company will provide up to $40 million of secured debt financing with a three-year term and an annual interest rate of 12%, calculated monthly and payable quarterly after receipt of the sales license at PharmHouse’s initial production and processing facility. Proceeds are expected to be utilized to supplement personnel and logistics resources for domestic and international distribution, capital expenditures related to the ongoing upgrade and retrofit of PharmHouse’s nursery, processing, and greenhouse infrastructure, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
  • TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend”) (CSE: TER) is a biopharmaceutical and wellness company providing quality products, brands and services for the global cannabinoid market. TerrAscend has secured supply agreements with the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and PEI and launched a premium cannabis brand, Haven Street, for the Canadian adult-use market. Subsequent to end of the quarter, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement to restructure its investment in TerrAscend to accommodate and obtain exposure to TerrAscend’s plans to leverage its Canadian Securities Exchange listing and U.S. specialty pharmaceutical and finance relationship networks to explore and pursue growth opportunities in the U.S. and other regulated jurisdictions. If the plan of arrangement is approved, the Company will exchange its common shares of TerrAscend for new, non-participating, non-voting conditionally exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend. These new exchangeable shares may only be converted into common shares of TerrAscend upon certain changes in U.S. federal laws or regulatory approaches regarding the cultivation, distribution or possession of cannabis in the U.S., the compliance of TerrAscend with such laws, and the approval of the various securities exchanges. In agreeing to restructure its TerrAscend investment and to remain in compliance with all public exchanges and regulators, the Company opted to trade short-term liquidity for what the Company believes will be significant long-term value.  Also subsequent to the end of the quarter, TerrAscend secured an offtake arrangement for 20% of flowering space at PharmHouse’s greenhouse facility. The agreement will supply dried flower and trim for packaging, processing and distribution throughout the TerrAscend logistics platform.
  • Radicle Medical Marijuana Inc. (“Radicle”) is a licensed cultivator producing premium indoor small-batch cannabis that is hydroponically grown and processed with a craft methodology and proprietary dry, trim and cure processes. Radicle was one of twenty-six licensed cannabis producers selected by the Ontario Cannabis Store in a highly competitive product call for recreational sale online and one of two entities selected despite only having a licence to cultivate at the time. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019, Radicle received its production and sales licence from Health Canada. The receipt of the sales license, for oil and dried flower, was also a milestone event for the Company, as it triggered the conversion of the Company’s outstanding debenture with Radicle into an almost 24% equity stake in Radicle, and set-off against consideration otherwise paid for a royalty interest with a minimum yearly guarantee of $900,000 for the next 20 years.  Radicle also recently announced the launch of Gage Cannabis Co., a new brand that offers high-grade craft cannabis through proprietary and sustainable growth methods.
  • Les Serres Vert Cannabis Inc. (“Vert Mirabel”), is a joint venture with Canopy Growth and Les Serres Stéphane Bertrand, and is based in Mirabel, Quebec.  The greenhouse property has been upgraded and retrofitted, and recently received a licence amendment from Health Canada increasing the greenhouse production footprint from 40,000 to 525,000 square feet licensed operating space available for cannabis production. Vert Mirabel will be a key source of locally-produced cannabis products for the government of Quebec and Canopy Growth has secured a significant supply agreement with the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ). The greenhouse is organic certified, a value-add differentiator in cannabis brands, and the intent will be to apply the infrastructure and farming expertise to grow organic cannabis flower.
  • Agripharm Corp. (“Agripharm”) is a licensed company under the Cannabis Act, and is a joint venture between Canopy Growth and the owners of globally-recognized cannabis brands Green House Seeds (a Netherlands-based portfolio of leading cannabis businesses, including an award-winning genetics portfolio, and pioneer in the development of the European cannabis coffee shop market) and Organa Brands (owner of several market-leading cannabis brands, including OpenVAPE, Bakked, Organa Labs, The Magic Buzz, and District Edibles). Agripharm is building out its extraction capacity, leveraging the experience of their joint venture partner Organa Brands Ltd., a long-standing cannabis extract product innovator in the U.S., to be well-positioned when Canadian regulations allow for new product formats. The indoor growing facility continues to focus on the phenotyping of new strains and benefits from their relationship with Green House Seeds.
  • James E. Wagner Cultivation Ltd. (“JWC”) (TSXV: JWCA) is a licensed cultivator focusing on producing clean, consistent cannabis. In August, JWC received its licence approval from Health Canada for the production of formulated cannabis oil. In addition to its already available aeroponically-grown dried flower products, JWC intends to develop and supply cannabis oil products in varying content and size configurations in anticipation of patient and customer demands. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019, product from JWC was added to the SpectrumCannabis.com online marketplace through their participation in Canopy Growth’s CraftGrow program. JWC is also expanding into a second facility, which is designed to provide a total of approximately 345,000 square feet of cultivation space.
  • Civilized Worldwide Inc. (“Civilized”) is an international modern media company and lifestyle brand focused on elevating cannabis culture. Civilized has a premium digital audience throughout North America and has established an events platform where individuals and industry can communicate and work together to evolve the global perception of cannabis. The Company made an investment in Civilized on April 17, 2018 by means of a convertible debenture and also received warrants to purchase class A common shares of Civilized. In June 2018, Civilized hosted the inaugural World Cannabis Congress in Saint John, New Brunswick, with the goal of promoting conversations that shape and advance the cannabis industry worldwide. Civilized also partnered with comedian Chelsea Handler for a nation-wide speaking tour covering political activism, culture and cannabis.
  • Spot Therapeutics Inc. (“Spot”) is a large-scale indoor production and distribution facility located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The Company is funding the ongoing capital expenditures related to the build-out of the asset in exchange for a long-term royalty and lease obligation. Construction on the retrofit of the facility is complete, and a readiness package has been submitted to Health Canada as part of the licensing process.
  • LiveWell Canada Inc. (“LiveWell”) (TSXV: LVWL) is a Canadian hemp and cannabis company focused on advanced research of CBD and other cannabinoids, as well as developing and distributing prescription and consumer health and wellness products. Effective April 2, 2018, the Company executed a strategic agreement to accelerate the development and commercialization of LiveWell’s two large-scale projects for future cannabis production and processing. The Company received an equity interest, representing 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of LiveWell on a fully-diluted basis, in exchange for strategic support from the Company. On June 17, 2018, LiveWell completed its go public transaction and began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 21, 2018. LiveWell recently secured 1,000 acres of Canadian industrial hemp for the purpose of extracting and producing CBD-based products for distribution in Canada. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019, LiveWell entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of Acenzia Inc., a Health Canada and GMP-certified developer and manufacturer of natural health products and therapeutics. These capabilities are intended to further develop LiveWell’s focus on health-related research in cannabis and hemp, as well as fast-track its product development at a lower cost.
  • Aldershot Resources Ltd. d.b.a. Solo Growth Corp.™ (“Solo”) is executing on a retail-focused cannabis strategy with store locations branded as “YSS by Solo” led by the principals of Solo Liquor Stores Ltd., a leading Canadian private liquor retailer. The Solo team has been effective in capturing significant liquor market share in the communities they operate by providing a shopping experience and product offering that is customized to each location’s demands.

  • China is Brazil’s largest trading partner
  • Chinese President Xi Jinping promoted trade relations at China International Import Expo on November 5-10
  • eCommerce platforms like Pacific Software’s Agri-Blockchain expected to boost trade

Trade between Brazil and China, the largest countries in South America and Asia, looks set to increase further after the recently concluded import fair put on by the Chinese authorities. The gravity of the trade initiative was marked by the presence of President Xi Jinping, who gave the opening address to the exhibitors gathered at the National Convention & Exhibition Center in Shanghai, China. The China International Import Expo (CIIE) ran for six days, November 5-10, in China’s largest city. The official word is that Brazilian exporters will have better access to Chinese markets through platforms like Alibaba.com and Tmall.com, highlighting the importance of such technologies.

Chris Bogart, President & CEO states, “Our goal is to build a dominant national cannabis retail brand. The acquisition of Clarity Medical Centres allows Choom to service the entire Canadian cannabis market, beyond just the adult use channel. As cannabis becomes more widely accepted as an alternative to pharmaceuticals, increasingly, patients with medical conditions will require professional medical advice on the benefits and best use of cannabis as a treatment.”

The acquisition includes five new medical centres along with a proprietary telemedicine platform that provides important education, access and expertise for referring patients in the use of cannabis for medical purposes. The Clarity Medical Centres approach makes it simple for new patients to access legal medical cannabis products in Canada and streamlines the process of registering with a licensed producer.

 

There are medical conditions that may benefit from cannabis when it comes to treating several health issues including chronic pain, PTSD, seizures, tremors, and general anxiety. Clarity’s team of cannabis trained general and specialist physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and coaches all work together to ensure patients get optimal medical care. The clinics will provide education to patients on the best use of medical cannabis products as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.

Under the leadership of Dr. Jean Paul Lim, an internal medicine and complex care specialist, Clarity Medical Centres intend to study and monitor the effects of medicinal cannabis use. Clarity Medical Centres will use a patient-focused, research-based, multidisciplinary approach, from which Dr. Lim hopes to shatter cannabis misconceptions and build scientific evidence through the collection of patient data points around cannabis as an effective treatment.

As part of the transaction, Choom can access medical expertise from the clinics and leverage key learnings from the medical side to provide customer insights for our adult use channel. The Clarity medical clinic model is easily scalable and transferable across the rapidly growing medical cannabis space, both domestically and internationally adding an important retail revenue stream to Choom’s adult use strategy.   Read this and more news for Choom™ at:     https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-choo/

$PBIO President and CEO Featured in Uptick Newswire’s Stock Day Podcast

Pressure BioSciences Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables and platform solutions to the worldwide life sciences industry, this morning announced the featured interview of its president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher with Stock Day’s Everett Jolly. Among other highlights, Schumacher announced that the company has accomplished yet another important milestone in the advancement of its proprietary Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform and commercialization program. Following the company’s recent news regarding the development of the first working prototype of the UST system, PBIO reported that it has developed a proprietary method for making high quality, water-soluble oils. The company believes that this achievement will open major new opportunities in multiple markets, including the CBD sector, and will result in revenue generation in 2019.

“There are multiple products in many different markets that we believe can benefit from nanoemulsions made by UST. These markets include but are certainly not limited to, food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, industrial lubricants, paints, and personal care products such as sunscreens. However, because of the excellent data generated to date, the clear need for water-soluble CBD oil, its current rapid and exciting growth, and the potential to generate a strong return for our shareholders, we have chosen to focus first on the CBD market. That said, we plan to keep a very keen eye on the other markets as well,” Pressure BioSciences president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher stated in the interview.

$NETE 420 with CNW – Israeli Researchers Look into Treating Endometriosis Using Cannabis

Gynica, a startup in Israel, has announced that it will conduct research in order to find a new cannabis-based treatment for endometriosis. The startup will use the newly licensed Lumir Lab found within Hebrew University in Jerusalem for this research.

Gynica specializes in providing marijuana-based solutions to the problems affecting the health of women. The lab will focus on medical cannabis research and product development.

Lumir Lab is headed by Lumir Odrej Hanus, one of the leading researchers on cannabinoids in the world. He is an analytical chemist.

Lumir Lab will collaborate with Gynica in this quest for a treatment for endometriosis. Endometriosis is a health condition in which tissues from the lining of the uterus migrate to other parts of the body. The condition causes a lot of pain among its estimated 180 million sufferers across the world.

Current research shows that the reproductive system of females is the second to the brain in terms of having the biggest number of endocannabinoid receptors within the body.

This reality creates an opportunity for cannabis to be used to influence the reproductive system so that uterine lining tissues reduce or stop moving from the uterus to the other internal organs of affected females.

The planned research by Gynica and Lumir Lab is intended to understand how cannabis works to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis, or even stop the tissues from migrating. The research will also try to find the specific cannabinoids that give the greatest effects in preventing tissue migration or curbing disease recurrence in a way that leaves the ovulation cycle intact.

In the long run, the lab plans to set the standard by which cannabis research and product development is done around the world. Such research will help to address the concerns and reservations within the scientific community regarding cannabis as a treatment for various health conditions.

Currently, many of the cannabis treatments available are largely based on evidence that may not stand up to strict scientific scrutiny. Lumir Lab wants to end all this by bringing clinical analysis, validation and product development to the medical cannabis field. Terpene and cannabinoid profiling will also be done at the lab.

It is this type of research that will make cannabis treatments mainstream since no one will be able to claim that they don’t have any scientific backing behind them. Cannabis industry companies like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) welcome every attempt to gather evidence in support of the different uses of cannabis, including the new efforts launched in Israel by Lumir Lab and Gynica.

$RIV.V Portfolio Company Radicle Receives Licence From Health Canada

TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2018 — Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers” or the “Company”) (TSXV:RIV) congratulates its portfolio company, Radicle Medical Marijuana Inc. (“Radicle”), on receiving its production and sales licence from Health Canada. The licence will allow Radicle to supply and sell finished cannabis products for both the medical and adult-use market in Canada.

First licensed for cultivation in early 2018, Radicle’s 140,000 square foot indoor facility located in Hamilton, ON is focused on small-batch cultivation of unique genetic strains using proprietary and sustainable growth methods. In August 2018, Radicle was one of the original twenty-six licensed cannabis producers selected in a highly competitive product call by the Ontario Cannabis Store for recreational sale online and one of two entities selected despite only having a licence to cultivate at the time. Radicle recently launched Gage Cannabis Co., a new premium brand in the craft cannabis segment.

“We are very proud to be part of the Radicle story,” said Daniel Pearlstein, EVP Strategy at Canopy Rivers.  “This  latest milestone marks a new and exciting chapter for Radicle and strengthens our confidence in their commitment to deliver premium, small-batch, handcrafted cannabis.”

Canopy Rivers first invested in Radicle in August 2017. The grant of the sales licence has triggered the conversion of Canopy Rivers’ convertible debenture into approximately 24% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common shares of Radicle.  Further, Canopy Rivers’ repayable debenture has been automatically set-off against consideration otherwise payable entitling Canopy Rivers to a royalty interest with a minimum annual payment of $900,000 per year for a term of 20 years. For more information regarding the Company’s investment in Radicle, please refer to the joint management information circular (the “Circular”) of Canopy Rivers Corporation and the Company dated August 8, 2018, filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Company works collaboratively with Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED, NYSE: CGC) to identify strategic counterparties seeking financial and/or operating support. The Company has developed an investment ecosystem of complementary cannabis operating companies that represent various segments of the value chain across the emerging cannabis sector. As the portfolio continues to develop, constituents will be provided with opportunities to work with Canopy Growth and collaborate among themselves, which the Company believes will maximize value for its shareholders and foster an environment of innovation, synergy and value creation for the entire ecosystem.
