OUR APPROACH

Investment Vehicles

Leverage our collective industry, private equity and capital markets experience to find early-stage pre-IPO cannabis companies in Canada, US, or globally, with a niche product and/or a sustainable competitive advantage. CannaIncome Fund Corporation (“CIF”) is a private investment company, which provides yield and capital appreciation upside, via valuation arbitrage opportunities primarily between private and public markets. Our goal is to work with, and advise, companies to find capital solutions which expedite their path to positive cash

  • flow. Although not a requisite for all investments, our bias

is to find instruments where we rank higher in the capital structure with distributions that

  • ccur

before taxes (reducing taxable events for companies).

Investment Instruments:

  • Gross over-riding royalties
  • Convertible debentures
  • Secured debt
  • Mezzanine / bridge

financing

  • Preferred shares
  • Common equity

Industry Growth

The cannabis industry is still very much in the early-growth stage and has the capacity to rival alcohol and tobacco in terms of aggregate economic impact. We see many ways for the investor to gain leverage to the space; not least of which are vertically integrated producers (capturing the entire revenue stream) and ‘pick and shovel’ plays, supporting the cultivators.

Medicinal Benefits

Notwithstanding the growing recreational market (alcohol sales - 13% in legalized states), current and developing cannabinoid research towards end-products is an area where CannaIncome Fund looks to invest and support the myriad of potential health beneficiaries:

Key Industry Catalysts

  • Unlike in the US, Canada enjoys provincial and federal

support – we see much less systemic risk north of the border, but key US states represent investment

  • pportunities should the political backdrop improve.
  • Investors have flooded to producers / cultivators in the

last two to three years, but margin compression remains a concern as non-cannabis farmers and / or foreign cultivators capture market share. We see this as a risk in the longer term for small cultivators, but represents consolidation potential in the short-medium term.

  • As consumers become more comfortable with retail

products, we see expansion potential into cannabis- infused products (i.e. oils, lotions, pills etc.) Brand differentiation will be key, not unlike other consumables in other verticals. Retail / distribution business models will not likely see the same margin compression as cultivators.

Legalization in Canada has been slated for July 2018 but cultivators have been aggressively building facilities to meet expected

  • demand. Similarly, investors have

also been positioning themselves ahead of the legislation.

Industry Trends

Per the last page, smaller indoor facilities have been ubiquitous in Canada because of the higher quality and smaller geographic footprint, but as larger players move into the space the race to the bottom on costs will be won via greenhouses and outdoor facilities.

Industry Trends (continued)

Vertical integration is preferred within our investment mandate: “Infused products and edibles are the fastest growing category in the cannabis industry, proving extremely popular with recreational consumers and medical patients alike. While flower still accounts for the majority of retail sales, concentrates and edibles continue to eat into flower’s share of the market with each passing year.”

Industry Trends (continued)

The estimated demand for recreational cannabis in the US alone is estimated to reach $55 billion up

  • ver 9x from 2017 sales.

Industry Capital Requirements

  • Traditional banks and/or US public markets have been reticent – this provides an opportunity for

Canadian investors to seek favorable terms.

  • Public late-stage cultivators tend to trade at 10-20x multiple of private cultivators – the reward

for liquidity is significant in the industry.

  • Significant capital flow into the vertical in the last 90

days: $4.7 billion supported primarily by institutional buying and retail diversification.

leading indicator of the consolidation pending in the space.

Strong Private Deal Pipeline – Examples

Opportunity #1 Company A specializes in the production of natural molecules and their derivatives, as well as the development

  • f new molecules that have the potential to

become a new generation of therapeutics.

  • Unlike synthetic cannabinoids, which are made in a lab

and may not truly replicate the natural cannabinoids, scientists are able to produce the compounds at potentially a fraction of the cost using natural growth processes.

  • The company is a Licensed Dealer under the Narcotic

Control Regulations of Health Canada.

  • CIF sees, on average, between three to five private

cannabis companies per week.

Opportunity #2 Company B develops and supplies high quality cannabis-infused food products targeted at discriminating consumers. The company introduced its first two products in October 2017.

  • Their products are now being carried in over 50 stores

in California; on average, sales have been increasing by 90% each month.

  • The US retail market for cannabis products is expected

to reach $30 billion by 2021 and the Canadian retail market for cannabis products to reach $15 billion by 2022; edibles are expected to be 40-50% of total retail cannabis market.
