EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

OVERVIEW - CURRENT OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL AND GERMANY

IM Cannabis is an international cannabis company that is currently focused on providing premium cannabis products to medical patients in Israel and Germany, two of the world's largest federally legal cannabis markets. Until recently, the Company was also actively servicing adult-use recreational consumers in Canada, however the Company has exited operations in Canada and considers these operations discontinued. The Company leverages a transnational ecosystem powered by a unique data-driven approach and a globally sourced product supply chain. With an unwavering commitment to responsible growth and compliance with the strictest regulatory environments, the Company strives to amplify its commercial and brand power to become a global high-quality cannabis player.

In Israel, the Company imports, distributes and sells cannabis to local medical patients by operating medical cannabis retail pharmacies, online platforms, distribution centers and logistical hubs operating through IMC Holdings' subsidiaries and Focus, leveraging proprietary data and patient insights. The Company also cultivate its existing proprietary genetics with third-partycultivation facilities in Israel.

In Germany, the IM Cannabis ecosystem operates through Adjupharm, importing and distributing cannabis to pharmacies for patients, and acting as the Company's entry point for potential Europe-wide distribution in the future.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

HOW WE PLAN TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL - CORE STRATEGIES

Our strategy of sustainable and profitable growth consists of:

  • Continue building on the increasing demand and positive momentum in Israel and Germany, supported by strategic alliances with Canadian suppliers and a highly skilled sourcing team, to cement its leadership position in markets where the Company operates.
  • Develop and execute a long-term growth plan in Germany, based on the strong sourcing infrastructure in Israel which is powered by advanced product knowledge and regulatory expertise establishing, in the Company's view, a competitive advantage ahead of proposals for the legalization of recreational cannabis in Germany.
  • Properly position brands with respect to target-market, price, potency and quality, such as our IMC brand in Israel and Germany.
  • Strong focus on efficiencies and synergies as a global organization with domestic expertise in Israel and Germany.
  • High-quality,reliable supply to our customers and patients, leading to recurring sales.
  • Ongoing introduction of new Stock Keeping Unit ("SKUs") to keep consumers and patients engaged.
  • Reorganization of the Company's management and operations by reducing its workforce in Israel by 36% across all functions, to strengthen its focus on core activities and drive efficiencies to realize sustainable profitability. All actions associated with the workforce reduction were substantially completed by June 30, 2023.
