"Our diversified revenue growth from both the medical and recreational cannabis markets continued during our second quarter. We are receiving strong reviews on Abba's product offerings from our medical patients, and their approval of our menu is clear from the growth we are experiencing in patient registrations and medical sales," comments Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO of Canada House. "With medical sales growing at a consistent and stable rate, we have renewed our efforts in the adult-use markets in Quebec, Alberta, BC and elsewhere. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we completed a $2 million non-dilutive debt financing to finance our recreational growth and for working capital purposes."

Business Highlights:

• On December 24, 2020, the Company closed a $2,000 non-dilutive term loan financing at an annual interest rate of 10% (the "Loan"). The Loan is secured by the property and assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, IsoCanMed Inc. ("ICM"), in Louiseville, Quebec and is subject to monthly interest-only installments of approximately $17, with the principal amount repayable at the end of one year. The Loan may be extended for an additional year, at the discretion of the lender, upon 30 days written renewal notice by the Company. The renewal notice will indicate if the Company intends to repay any portion of the loan, up to a maximum of $1,000. A commitment fee, equal to 4% of the loan amount less the amount repaid, is payable at the time of renewal. The Loan will be used for general working capital purposes and will provide the Company with financial capacity to drive commercial initiatives during its next stage of recreational growth.
