Body and Mind Inc. ("BAM") Receives Occupancy Permit for Phase II Expansion

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Body and Mind Inc. (CSE:BAMM) (US OTC:BMMJ), (the "Company", "Body and Mind" or "BAM") announces approval of the final building inspection for the Phase II expansion from the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention.

The company initiated the Phase II expansion plans in early 2018 and is on time and budget to complete the increased production space, additional trim area, dry room and expanded packaging area.

Robert Hasman, BAM director commented, "We are excited to be nearing completion of Phase II construction on our current facility. During the 3rd quarter of Fiscal 2018 ("Q3-2018"), product sales were impacted by both facility construction and lab testing schedules and the Company completed Q3-2018 with USD $587,012 remaining in inventory (Q2-2018 ending inventory was USD $225,585). The Company anticipates realizing a significant portion of the Q3-2018 ending inventory as sales in the current quarter.  Upon completion of Phase II construction we will move to a perpetual harvest system which is expected to deliver a more consistent harvest schedule and reduced inventory fluctuations."

The company is in the process of setting up the new Phase II grow space and is currently adding approximately 40% more high pressure sodium lights to the facility. The new grow space will also include an automated micro dose watering system, proprietary control systems and carbon dioxide system.  New automated packaging equipment is scheduled to be delivered, installed and operational for early August and final permits and installation of the carbon dioxide delivery and control systems are anticipated for the first week of August. The company will be starting clones for the new grow areas this week with strains including GG4, True Power and Sequoia Strawberry.

The state of Nevada requires one additional inspection and the company anticipates having vegetative production beginning in the new areas within 30 days from receipt of the final inspection.
