2018 Business Overview

With the completion of the March 2018 RTO Amalgamation and the acquisition of BrightLeaf, Cannex now owns the real estate and intellectual property utilized by a leading Washington State cannabis producer/processor, Northwest Cannabis Solutions ("NWCS"). BrightLeaf undertook the construction of a turnkey, state-of-the-art, 60,000 ft2 (30,000 ft2 of cannabis growing canopy, the maximum allowed by Washington regulations) indoor cannabis cultivation facility in 2017, utilizing a publicly-owned warehouse upon which it was able to secure an up to 50-year master lease. That facility is now being operated by another leading Washington cannabis producer/processor, 7Point.

NWCS operates out of multiple facilities owned by a BrightLeaf subsidiary, including one 72,000 ft2 cultivation facility, also with 30,000 ft2 of cannabis growing canopy and one 44,000 ft2 facility which serves as NWCS's extraction, processing, manufacturing and distribution hub for Washington.

"Our Washington State assets are cash flow positive," said Leo Gontmakher, COO of Cannex, "and our strategy is to leverage our deep sector knowledge of cannabis operations as we build out a national platform focused on premium brands. We plan to invest in or acquire," continued Gontmakher, "additional opportunities, not only in Washington and California, but in targeted legal US states to grow market share and to leverage our growing portfolio of premium brands."

Anthony Dutton, Cannex's CEO added, "Fiscal 2018 was a breakthrough period for the Company as we came to market with a strong capital raise, a unique and strong foundation asset which firmly established Cannex in the US cannabis market. We continue to be focused," continued Dutton, "on building a dominant multi-state platform that leads the cannabis market in the development, manufacturing and distribution of premium brands."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, Cannex uses "EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Cannex believes that EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that Cannex includes in Income (loss) for the period. Cannex further believes that EBITDA provides useful information about core operating results and cash flow generating potential, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Income (loss) for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of Cannex's operating performance. EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. EBITDA represents loss for the period, excluding interest expense, interest income, and income taxes and certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation, depreciation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and listing expense that Cannex do not believe are reflective of the core operating performance during the periods presented.

Advance Notice Policy

Cannex also announces the adoption on August 21, 2018 by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of an advance notice policy (the "Policy"), which requires advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act"); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

Among other things, the Policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Company must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form. The Policy is effective as of the date it was approved subject to ratification by the shareholders. The full text of the Policy is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company intends to seek ratification of the Policy by its shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting to be held October 24, 2018.
