Flower One owns and operates a 25,000 square foot cultivation and production facility in North Las Vegas, with nine grow rooms, and owns the established NLV Organics consumer brand of cannabis products. The Company is also rapidly converting its 455,000 square-foot greenhouse and production facility, which is the largest in the State of Nevada, for cultivating and processing high-quality cannabis at scale. Combined, the flagship greenhouse facility and production facility (once fully operational) and the North Las Vegas facility provide Flower One with 480,000 square feet of capacity for cultivation and processing, production and high-volume packaging of dry flower, cannabis oils, concentrates and infused products. The Company is fully licensed for medical marijuana cultivation and production, as well as recreational marijuana cultivation and production in the state of Nevada and currently holds licensing agreements with their Brand Partners, Flyte Concentrates, Rapid-Dose Therapeutics' Quick Strip, Old Pal, Palms, HUXTON, and CannAmerica Brands.

THC, Inc.: THC Total Herbal Care (THC) is licensed to cultivate, process, and dispense cannabis in Oklahoma. THC provides products to help patients improve their quality of life, aiming to deliver only the finest premium cannabis solutions and medicine.

Canna Provisions Inc.: Located in Massachusetts, Canna Provisions is the next generation of cannabis dispensary focusing on a unique and thoughtful customer experience. Founded by established industry pioneers with extensive cultivation, regulation and consumer sales experience, Canna Provisions stores provide a broad range of top-grade craft cannabis products that are locally sourced and thoughtfully produced.

The Company generates revenue through license agreements whereby licensees are granted rights to utilize the Brands, substrate, packaging and labelling, and related intellectual property. Licensees are responsible for assembling the branded products by infusing the substrate with clear cannabis distillate and packaging for sale to the end consumer. The Company is not involved in the cultivation, extraction, or infusion of any cannabis or cannabis derivatives.

The Company's license agreements require a licensee to pay royalties to the Company based on a fixed price per unit or as a percentage of the licensee sales and apply to specific geographical territories and distribution channels in which the licensed products may be sold. The Company's agreements also contain an upfront fee component, where the licensee agrees to pay a license fee to CannAmerica in exchange for an exclusive license to manufacture and distribute the Company's products during the term of the agreement. Fees are $500k USD for recreational licensees and $250k USD for medical, with 50% of the fee due upon execution of the agreement and 50% due upon the one-year anniversary of the agreement.

Other significant terms outlined in the license agreements typically include the duration of the contract, payment frequency and applicable minimum thresholds for purchase.

The Company intends to expand primarily through additional licenses in new territories, the development and acquisition of new brands, and through partnerships and other arrangements. The Company aims to acquire additional well-known consumer brands in the cannabis space with high potential for growth and strong brand awareness and select licensees who have demonstrated the ability to cultivate, manufacture, produce and sell quality products in their respective licensed categories and territories.

For the year ended March 31, 2021, DAFF revenues were concentrated within four licensees: TR Scientific (previous licensee in Colorado) and Arsenal Oils and Extracts in Colorado, Flower One in Nevada, THC in Oklahoma and Canna Provisions in Massachusetts. Revenues included fees earned from packaging to licensees along with the recognition of the initial upfront fees from Flower One, THC, Canna Provisions, and Leaf & Mark.

In February 2019, the Company signed a new brand licensing agreement with a subsidiary of Flower One Holdings Inc. (CSE: FONE) (OTCQB: FLOOF) in the state of Nevada. This brand licensing agreement replaces the Company's previous brand licensing agreement with Matrix NV, which terminated during March 2019. Flower One began placing orders of the Company's branded products in April 2019 and receiving payment on orders in June 2019.
