SIGNS
SUPPLY
AGREEMENT WITH
GLOBAL CANNABIS SUPPLIER
AND
Provides update on german operations and balance sheet
improvements
Toronto,
Ontario-- February 4, 2021 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- PharmaDrug Inc. (CSE:
BUZZ) (OTC: LMLLF) ("PharmaDrug"
or the "Company")
have entered into a supply agreement (the "Supply
Agreement") on January 4, 2021,
with a Canadian
based multinational cannabis company for EU-GMP certified medical
cannabis. The supply
is already
registered and approved for sale in the German
market.
Pursuant to the
Supply Agreement, the Company's licensed German
distributor, Pharmadrug Production GmbH ("Pharmadrug
Production") will purchase
branded
medical
cannabis
from
the supplier's
German subsidiary. Pharmadrug Production has already received regulatory approval
to distribute the
cannabis
and the product has
been added to their license. The flower will be
imported into
Germany by the global supplier
and sold
under the
supplier's medical cannabis brand.
The
Company
expects to
begin receiving
shipments of
cannabis shortly with the goal
of commencing
distribution to its pharmacy network
in
the
current
quarter of
2021.
In anticipation of
increased inventory, the Company will be
expanding the sales and marketing
operations within
its German cannabis distribution segment.
As
previously disclosed, PharmaDrug's
primary
obstacle
to significant
growth of its cannabis distribution
business is the lack of supply. As such,
management sought to increase its supply through additional
channels of already approved product while it continued to work on
importing its own branded supply. Management is confident that the
new flower is ideally suited for
the quality
requirements of the German
market. The
Company also expects to be able to distribute the supplier's THC
extract oils and anticipates being able to access this product in
the next two to three months.
Chairman and CEO
Daniel Cohen commented, "We are extremely excited to begin selling
the new product and to increase our offering beyond Bedrocan.
Carrying a second line of medical cannabis will allow
us
to
significantly increase our sales volumes,
revenue,
profit margins, and to expand our
pharmacy network
as we
prepare to begin
importing our own product."
Mr. Cohen
continued: "We will continue
to work
to expand
our
supply
channels with the aim of
supplying several key brands as well as
developing our own. Our goal is to be a one stop shop
for pharmacies seeking medical cannabis.
To this end, we
also continue to work with
Eve & Co
Incorporated to register our own strain from
Eve's offerings, and much progress has been
made in this
regard. We are also in advanced discussions
with emerging extractors within the Eurozone to supply
us
with a white label
product that
we can sell
under our own brand."
CBD
Business
The company has
also made significant advancements towards launching a CBD line. The CBD business model will
differ from PharmaDrug's Medical Cannabis
busines as it will seek to be a supplier of branded product to be
sold via distributors and e-commerce platforms. A quality supplier has been
sourced and Pharmadrug Production is already in possession of its
first shipment of bulk inventory. The product has been tested by
several potential distribution partners and the feedback has been positive.
Management is in the process of registering the product for
approval with the applicable state regulator. Once approval
has been obtained, the Company will finalize
distribution agreements and begin to package the product
for retail sale
under a proprietary PharmaDrug brand.
Balance Sheet
Update
PharmaDrug's
balance sheet has undergone a significant improvement since it
reported its third quarter numbers. Firstly, the selling of
marketable securities and the exercising of the Company's warrants have
contributed to an increase of cash on
the balance
sheet, now equaling approximately $3.5
million. Secondly, the Interrobang
debentures have been converted into
equity resulting in
approximately $2.5 million in debt being eliminated. The Company still
holds marketable securities with a current value of over $1 million dollars and
PharmaDrug has "in the money
warrants" outstanding which can potentially bring in approximately
$1 million
in additional cash. Management believes it has more than enough cash on
hand to fund all its activities in 2021.
