terminology. These statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. This presentation also contains financial outlooks ("Outlooks") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The Outlooks have been prepared by
our management to provide an outlook of our activities and results and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Outlooks have been prepared based on a number of assumptions. The actual results of operations of GrowX
and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein, and such variation may be material. Management believes that the Outlooks have been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's
best estimates and judgments. Any Outlooks in this presentation are made as of the date of this presentation and are based upon the information available to us as of that date. Examples of forward-looking statements in this
presentation include statements pertaining to, among other things: the expected legalization of recreational cannabis use and the anticipated legal framework for sales of recreational cannabis; GrowX’s plans to develop
independent marketing and sales strategies for the medical and recreational markets; the potential market for cannabis consumption following legalization of recreational use cannabis; the potential legal framework for the
Canadian retail cannabis market; GrowX’s exploration of integration into retail sales; the potential effect of retail expansion on sales and sales costs; the competitiveness of GrowX’s per gram production costs; GrowX’s financial
projections for the future; GrowX’s intention to enter into relationships with doctors and clinic aggregator services that refer patients to licensed cannabis producers; and the future importance of relationships with retail pharmacy
chains.
Material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among other things: that recreational cannabis will be legalized and legalization will allow sales through retail cannabis shops and pharmacies;
assumptions regarding the number of consumers in the recreational use cannabis market, the consumption of such users, and the retail price of recreational use cannabis; that increasing the scale of GrowX’s operations will
reduce its per gram production costs to a level that will be competitive with the industry’s lowest cost producers; assumptions regarding the amount of cannabis that can be produced per square foot, the expected selling price of
such cannabis and GrowX’s timeline for the construction of its production facility; that we will be able to obtain any necessary financing on acceptable terms; and assumptions regarding our management team's ability to
implement our business plan, and general economic and financial market conditions.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including risks related to: regulatory risks; changes in laws, regulations and guidelines; reliance on GrowX’s
license from Health Canada; approval of additional production space from Health Canada; limited ability to market cannabis products; GrowX’s limited operating history; reliance on a single production facility; reliance on current
management; failure to complete proposed expansion program; failure to secure additional financing; potential lack of profitability; competition; agricultural business risks; rising energy costs; transportation costs and disruptions;
unfavourable consumer perception of cannabis; product liability; shelf life of inventory; product recalls; failure to develop and market new products; reliance on key inputs; dependence on suppliers and skilled labour; limitations
on sales forecasting; variable revenues and earnings; operating risk and insurance coverage; ability to manage growth; litigation; share price fluctuations; lack of dividends; limited market for shares of GrowX; cyber security risks;
environmental and employee health and safety regulations; and other factors beyond our control. These risks, as well as risks that we cannot currently anticipate, could cause our actual results, levels of activity or performance to
be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-
looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update any of the forward-
looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Research and Innovation

The Mission Facility
GrowX’s Phase 1 operation will consist of 250,000 square feet of greenhouse space for
initial cultivation. Located on 27 acres just outside of Mission B.C., the property provides an
ideal growing environment for both quality medical cannabis production and security.
Purchased with scalability in mind, the property will allow up to a total of 882,000 square feet
of cultivation space.

Having received go-head from regional bodies (FVRD, RCMP, Fire) GrowX has begun pre-
construction of our state of the art production facility. Growing and extracting equipment,
advanced trimming and drying equipment, and an innovative control system that integrates
irrigating, lighting, and cooling will ensure GrowX is known as the benchmark Licensed
Producer in Canada.

GrowX’s industry-first facility will expedite Health Canada’s approval of the Company’s
License to Cultivate and Sell. Upon completion of phase 1, the initial facility will transition
into a secure advanced propagation facility for both GrowX and third-party organizations.
The facility will consist of 4 separate cultivation rooms available for testing on growing
techniques, strain development, lighting, and technology advancement.
