Key Highlights for Q2 2018

The Company continued the execution of commercial manufacturing activities with a series of contracts for manufacturing specific ingredients for a multi-national ingredients company.

As previously announced on November 6, 2017, the Company finalized a Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB)(OTCQX:ACBFF)(FRANKFURT:21P)(WKN:A1C4WM) ("Aurora") related to the supply of standardized cannabis extracts for Aurora using its proprietary MAP™ technology. The agreement has an initial term of five years, with an option for Aurora to renew the agreement for an additional five years. The agreement will cover services delivered in Canada, Australia, and the European Union with Aurora having the right to negotiate with the Company to expand the jurisdictions covered. The MSA includes an Investor Rights Agreement that provides Aurora with certain rights to participate in future offerings, providing Aurora with the option to expand its ownership in the Company up to 19.99%.

On July 28, 2017, the $2 million convertible debenture with Aurora was converted into 14,285,714 common shares of the Company, a significant contributor to the decrease in the Company's current liabilities from $4,114,360 at March 31, 2017 to $964,020 at September 30, 2017.

The Company launched its RTI Global Health and Wellness Solutions business to represent the direct application of Radient's platforms to help develop high quality, differentiated, naturally-derived products. Supported by Radient's patented MAP™ technology, as well as its expertise in working with plant extracts, RTI Global Health and Wellness Solutions will improve the cost structure and quality of customers' products. The business unit is actively pursuing partnerships, co-branding and direct investments in emerging technologies.

The Company applied for a controlled substance dealer's license with Health Canada for its manufacturing facility. The license would be in addition to the production license application under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations for the manufacturing facility (filed in Q4 2017) and the application for a controlled substance dealer's license for the laboratory (filed in Q3 2017). Health Canada has advised that the controlled substance dealer's license application is in the Review stage and that its 180-business day service window ends in mid-December 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the cash position was strong at $9.8 million.

Denis Taschuk, President and CEO of Radient, stated "We are very excited to have finalized our first MSA in the cannabis industry with our cornerstone partner Aurora. This provides us a strong base as we expand further into the cannabis industry. Additionally, we were successful in further strengthening our balance sheet through the conversions of the Aurora convertible debenture and the AVAC royalty interest. This will help position us for future growth."
