- Revenue of $167,802 for the quarter ended July 31, 2019, compared with nil revenue for the quarter ended April 30, 2019. Gross margin for the quarter ended July 31, 2019, was 59 per cent.
- Operating activities generated a net cash outflow of $1,883,725. The increased use of cash is primarily attributable to marketing to attract new customers, research and development of current potential new product lines, purchasing of inventory, and increase in staffing all related to an expected further expansion of the company's revenue.
Corporate:
- After completing a $23-million financing, World Class completed a merger transaction with Quadron Cannatech Corp. Management believes the synergy with Quadron is optimal as the company continues to develop industrial-grade extraction and processing systems for cannabis and hemp. World Class is commercializing its processes by providing cost-effective and at-scale production to produce high-margin, high-quality extracts, premium derivative products and consumer brands.
- The company entered into a hemp supply agreement with certain suppliers to purchase hemp crop at an agreed price and share in the proceeds.
- The company announced a revenue collaboration agreement with Parity Partners PBC, whereby Parity sources appropriate locations in the United States to locate the company's extraction and processing systems.
Subsequent to July 31, 2019
Certification:
- Obtained additional provincial CRN pressure vessel certification for its proprietary, automated, next-generation Boss CO2 (carbon dioxide) extraction system. The Boss CO2 extraction system is now officially certified in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
Joint venture with FV Pharma Inc.:
- Entered into an agreement with FV Pharma Inc. to establish a joint venture to develop, manage and operate a large capacity extraction and processing facility for cannabis and hemp in Cobourg, Ont. The agreement amends, supersedes and replaces in its entirety the collaboration and licence agreement dated Nov. 23, 2018, between World Class and FV Pharma Inc.
- The facility will be deployed in multiple phases to satisfy the increasing market demand as the legal recreational market for cannabis extracts and extract-based products rapidly approaches.
- The joint venture is entering into a five-year lease agreement with an additional five-year renewal option with FV Pharma Inc. The lease (and initial phase of production) is scheduled to commence Dec. 1, 2019, which contains provisions for the expansion of the facility.
- During the initial phase, World Class, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Soma Labs Scientific Inc., will deploy several Boss CO2 extraction systems as well as the Beast ethanol extraction system, along with all the ancillary equipment required for the preparation of the biomass, as well as refining and distillation processes.
- As part of the joint venture, FV Pharma Inc. will provide its standard processing licence under the Cannabis Act (Canada), which it received in February, 2019.
- With ample room to expand, the facility will initially have an extraction and processing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds of biomass per day. As market demand increases, additional equipment will be deployed by the joint venture to accommodate the extraction and processing of up to 75,000 pounds per day.
- The joint venture is expected to provide revenue growth through processing material for FV Pharma Inc. as well as additional revenue growth through partnership opportunities as the processing centre can perform toll processing extraction for third party licence holders utilizing FV Pharma Inc.'s processing licence. The joint venture marks a significant milestone for World Class in preparation for the legalization of recreational cannabis extracts, edibles and topical products which will be available to consumers in upcoming months.
Following the execution of definitive agreements, the parties will each have a 50-per-cent interest in the joint venture.
