“We hit a key milestone in the second quarter as we completed our first commercial sale of cannabis flower, and followed that up with another milestone shortly after the end of the quarter” said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly. “We were thrilled to receive our Flower Sales License from Health Canada effective October 16, 2019. This allows us to bring to market our dried flower products into the hands of recreational consumers throughout the country and commercialize our CALIBER brand of premium cannabis products. We anticipate more growth as we begin to generate revenue from the sales of our flower as we move into Q3. We continue to execute on our plans to achieving our goal of becoming a leader in the cannabis infused product category.”
Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended August 31, 2019
- The Company recorded its first commercial sale of cannabis flower in Canada.
- Toronto Herbal Remedies (“THR”) (the Company’s wholly-owned licensed cannabis producer) submitted an amendment for a sales license for cannabis flower and oil. THR has successfully completed its first packaging run for both cannabis flower and oil products and has provided all supporting documents to Health Canada.
- The Company completed a voluntary debt for shares settlement agreement with an arm’s length creditor, settling an outstanding current debt of $3,537,455 by issuing 4,716,606 common shares at a price of $0.75 per share and improving its working capital position.
- The Company successfully completed the first run of the proprietary Aqueous Phytorecovery Process (“APP”) extraction technology licensed from Infusion Biosciences Inc. at THR.
Subsequent Events

(“BNO Holdings”) developed and verified analytical methods that detect, identify, and measure cannabinoid molecules in water-soluble (“Infuz2O”) and oil preparations (“Bio-Natural Oil”) derived from cannabis and hemp using APP Technology (collectively, the “Developed Analytics”). APP Technology is a patent pending process that uses proprietary reagents to recover naturally occurring water-soluble cannabinoids as well as the cannabis oils.
