Operational Highlights:

Quarter ended May 31, 2022:

• Further delay in approval of Michigan CBD to THC conversion technology rollout as a result of a change in cannabis regulations. Completed re-formulations, testing and submission amended to exclude Delta 8 from the active ingredient contained within the QuickStrip™. During the approval process the cost of THC sold in the state decreased by up to 90% resulting in reduced margins for the Company’s Michigan based customer.
• The Company signed an MSS agreement with Skycare Compounding Labs, a leader in compounding services which opens up a new market for the production of oral thin film strips of approved pharmaceuticals for the Canadian market. Formulation and testing of a first round of pharmaceutical products has been completed and is in the approval process.
• QuickStrip™ delivery system for Africa selected as finalist (runner up winner) at UNECE 15th session of the Committee on Innovation, Competitiveness and Public-Private Partnerships world-wide competition.
