The Opportunity

Government of Canada is both exiting the production business and eliminating the practice of allowing nearly 30,000 home growers.

Marijuana* for Medical Purposes Regulations legislation from Health Canada has defined a commercial supply chain.

The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police has been working closely with Health Canada to ensure these regulations address public safety considerations.

Medical marijuana grew from under 500 prescriptions in 2002 to more than 28,000 in 2012 and is expected to reach 40,000 in 2014.

A recent Health Canada survey indicates ~2.0% of Canadians believe they are eligible to use medicinal marijuana, compared to 0.08% of the population currently benefiting from use.

2.0% participation is consistent with other jurisdictions where access requirements have been relaxed (i.e. Colorado).

In June 2013, the Government of Canada published the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) replacing the existing marijuana Medical Access Program (“MMAR”) that was introduced in 2001

In 2001, there were 500 authorized users of medicinal marijuana in Canada, today there are 35,000+

MMPR Regulations

How the MMPR Process Works

Patients obtain a prescription from a medical doctor for medicinal marijuana with a Health Canada prescription number.

To purchase the medicinal marijuana, patients must provide their original prescription to a commercial producer.

Authorized patients then select a commercial producer to fill and ship their prescription. No advertising is permitted under new MMPR

regulations. Patients will select a vendor from Health Canada’s website, medical practitioner or brand awareness.

Prescription are shipped directly from the producer’s facility to the patient using a bonded courier.

The Market

The present market is estimated at 37,000 patients. According to Health Canada, the current licenses translate to about 3.5

million plants. If each of those 3.5 million plants contributed an average of 56 grams that

equates to $1.4 billion at an average price of $7.15. This number does not include the recreational user who buys on the black market.

Health Canada anticipates by 2024 there will be more than 450,000 people using marijuana for medical reasons, creating billions in annual sales.

A majority of people in Canada believe marijuana should be readily available for those who want to use it.

A recent Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found: – In the online survey of representative national samples, a majority of Canadians (57%) and

Americans (54%) support the legalization of marijuana. – Most respondents in each Canadian region back the legalization of cannabis, including 64

per cent of Atlantic Canadians and 60 per cent of British Columbians.

Review of Potential Market

The number of prescription users in Canada is expected to grow tenfold over the next ten years.

Health Canada has issued 23 licenses to date.

Estimates indicate 37,000 patients will use an average of 2 grams per day equating to 27,010 kg and will grow to 270,100 kg over the next ten years.

Recently released Liberal Party of Canada research indicates 3 million users in Canada equating to a six billion dollar market place.

Review of Competition

Industry experts expect high margins as prices initially range from $5-$20 per gram while production costs are expected to be $1-$2 per gram.

Operating expenses will include capital expenditures, production, sales & marketing, and security.

Successful companies will be those that can demonstrate the ability to manufacture, deliver, and scale quickly.

Producers will have to have experienced cultivation and horticulture specialists, careful quality control and security measures, and thorough record keeping procedures to satisfy Health Canada

Disclaimer Ontario The following statutory rights of action for damages or rescission will only apply to a purchase of securities of the Company in the event that this presentation is deemed to be an offering memorandum pursuant to securities law applicable in the Province of Ontario. These remedies, or notice with respect thereto, must be exercised, or delivered, as the case may be, by the purchaser within the time limits prescribed by the applicable provisions of Ontario securities law. Purchasers should refer to such applicable securities legislation for the complete text of these rights or consult with a legal adviser. Where used in this section, "misrepresentation" means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Ontario securities law provides that when an offering memorandum is delivered to an investor to whom securities are distributed in reliance upon the "accredited investor" prospectus exemption provided in Section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106 (the "Accredited Investor Exemption"), the right of action described below is applicable, unless the prospective purchaser is: (a) an association governed by the Cooperative Credit Associations Act (Canada) or a central cooperative credit society for which an order has been made under Section 473(1) of that Act; (b) a bank, loan corporation, trust company, trust corporation, insurance company, treasury branch, credit union, caisse populaire, financial services corporation, or league that, in each case, is authorized by an enactment of Canada or a jurisdiction of Canada to carry on business in Canada or a jurisdiction in Canada; (c) a Schedule III bank, meaning an authorized foreign bank named in Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada); (d) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or (e) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of the subsidiary. Where an offering memorandum that contains a misrepresentation is delivered in connection with a trade made in reliance on the Accredited Investor Exemption or certain other exemptions available under Ontario securities law, a purchaser who purchases a security offered by the offering memorandum during the period of distribution will have, without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation, a statutory right of action for damages against the issuer and a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution was made or, while still the owner of securities against the issuer or selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution was made for rescission. If the purchaser elects to exercise the right of rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages. The right of action will be exercisable by the purchaser only if the purchaser commences the action, in the case of any action for rescission, not more than 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action and in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, before the earlier of: (i) 180 days after the plaintiff first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. A defendant will not be liable for a misrepresentation if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation. In an action for damages, the defendant shall not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that the defendant proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. In no case shall the amount recoverable for the misrepresentation that exceeds the price at which the securities were offered.

United States This document does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Any such offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein or during the presentation will be made only pursuant to subscription documentation between the Company and prospective purchasers.
