COVID-19

The Company continuously assesses the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its financial and operating results. Any assessment continues to be subject to uncertainty as to probability, severity and duration of the pandemic as reflected by infection rates at local, state, and regional levels. Moreover, certain Covid variants have surfaced since the onset of the pandemic including the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant and, most recently, the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant that create additional uncertainty during any particular period when it comes to the impact upon employees, customers, our supply chain, and the timing of regulatory approvals. However, at this time, the Company has no indication that the emergence of the omicron variant will have a material impact on operations and results compared with its business prior to such emergence

Europe. Certain countries in Europe are beginning to ease public health restrictions and lock-down measures imposed to deal with COVID-19. Each country in Europe adopts its own public health response, but the larger economies (being Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, and France) are monitoring the need for continuing restrictions as Europe experiences a surge in cases, but hospitalization rates remain manageable. Cannabis consumption in Europe is exclusively medical, and like other medicines, supply of medical cannabis has continued during the pandemic, with doctors and pharmacies adopting telemedicine to hold consultations and supply prescriptions to patients. Further waves of the virus may have a material impact on business development activities (due to travel restrictions), the Company's ability to generate revenue and on operations generally, and such risk will remain while the Covid-19 virus continues in widespread circulation and new strains are identified.
