Business Highlights:

Canada House rebranded its clinic group, expanded its target market, and opened new clinics

After five years of servicing Veterans and the public as Marijuana for Trauma, the clinics were legally rebranded to Canada House Clinics  Inc. ("CHC").

CHC increased its clinic count by 40% through July 2019, restructured, initiated new marketing programs, and implemented the next generation of its clinical software.   CHC opened its first Toronto clinic in the Champagne Centre (a multidisciplinary medical complex in North York), opened clinics in Halifax and Fredericton, relocated two clinics in order to better serve patient needs, and launched a new embedded clinic model in Edmonton.

Canada House Receives Cannabis Sales Licenses from Health Canada and Expands Production Capacity

Abba Medix Corp. ("Abba"), CHC's Licensed Producer, completed its Health Canada pre-sales inspection and received an amendment to its Producer's License from Health Canada to include the sale and provision of cannabis seeds.

To support this sales license, Abba secured an exclusive Canadian distribution agreement with a well-established UK seed producer and launched its online e-commerce platform, www.abbamedixgenetics.com.

Abba received approval from Health Canada to sell cannabis to other Licensed Producers, effective December 21, 2018, in accordance with sections 27 and 289 of the Cannabis Regulations under the Cannabis Act. To expand its production capability, Abba entered into an agreement with a related party to acquire 54 acres of property in the Town of Vegreville.

In July 2019, Abba applied to Health Canada for an amendment to its existing sales license that allows for the sale of its own cannabis. Abba provided a 60-day notice of intent to sell its packaged cannabis, including its own Abba Medix brand, in dried flower format, directly to registered medical patients and authorized provincial/territorial distributors and retailers across Canada. Abba continues to move forward with further amendments to its sales license for oils and other product formats.

Canada House Wellness Group Expanded its Pursuit of the Recreational Market

Canada House Wellness Group Inc. announced that it signed a lease agreement for a licensed Cannabis Dispensary in Southeast Edmonton, Alberta and received a Major Development Permit to begin construction. Canada House's first recreational dispensary will be conveniently located adjacent to the Company's existing medical cannabis location.

Canada House entered into binding agreement with Weedbox Inc. for the completion and operation of its previously announced licensed Cannabis Dispensary in Edmonton, Alberta. The site under the Weedbox lifestyle brand, Somewhere Variety^®, will begin in the fall of 2019 with an anticipated opening in spring 2020.

EBITDAS is a non-GAAP measure and, as such, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to other companies' similar non-GAAP measures, but is considered by the Company to be a useful measure of cash-flow from operations.  These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers and to compare the Company's performance against others in the same industry.
