Also subsequent to the quarter ending April 30, 2020, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Abba Medix Corp. ("Abba"), received its amended sales license from Health Canada allowing for the sale of cannabis oil, concentrate, topical and edible products produced from its facility in Pickering, Ontario. This license amendment allows the Company to further expand its existing product offerings to the medical and recreational consumer markets with internally produced oil, concentrate, extract, topical and edible products. Abba is currently producing full-spectrum solventless concentrates in a lab powered by Organic Extraction Technologies and will continue to work closely with Canada House's wholly owned subsidiary, Canada House Clinics ("CHC"), to expand its portfolio of products to best manage the complex physical and psychological conditions of its medical patient base.

"During the year we sharpened our focus on the veteran market and expanding Abba's product portfolio by introducing new and exciting cannabis 2.0 products such as oils, chocolates, gel capsules and vape pens." said Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO, Canada House. "With our on-line platform and improved menu, we've made it easier for our medical cannabis patients to order the medicine they need in their preferred formats. As a result, medical sales have increased over 30% per month during May, June and July 2020 and we are well positioned for continued growth in the coming months as we launch on an exclusive basis, two sensational new strains, VetStar Daytm and VetStar Nighttm."

"To date, Abba has sold approximately $1.5M of products to the recreational market. The acquisition of ICM will allow the Company to leverage Abba's sales licenses with ICM's Quebec grown production to access the high value Quebec recreational distribution channel," added Mr. Chruchill- Smith. "On the clinic side, CHC has increased revenue while reducing costs to increase profitability while expanding from 11 to 14 clinic locations across Canada. CHC patients represent about 25% of the important Veteran market and purchase over $27M of legal medical cannabis on an annual basis from over 20 Licensed Producers, including Abba."
