$CNVCF BioHarvest Sciences Unveils Profile of Unique Cannabis CompositionPress Release | 05/12/2022
Full spectrum profile to include major and minor Cannabinoids as well as Terpenes
Unique trichome structure provides for potentially higher solubility and bio-availability
With Trichomes representing 93% of the Cannabis biomass produced using the proprietary Bio-Plant CELLicitation™ technology, taste bitterness is significantly reduced
Vancouver, Canada, and Rehovot, Israel--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2022) - BioHarvest Sciences Inc. the (CSE: BHSC) ("BioHarvest" or the "company") today unveiled the composition profile of its full-spectrum Cannabis produced in large-scale industrial bioreactors based on its proprietary Bio-Plant CELLicitation™ platform technology.
On December 8th, 2021, BHSC became the first company ever to announce that it could produce Cannabis biomass without growing the plant itself. The revealing of the unique composition profile of its first product comes as BioHarvest gears up for potential Cannabis commercialization - optimizing the manufacturing process, perfecting measurement techniques, transitioning the 2-ton/year facility to Cannabis and applying for the necessary regulatory approvals.
Reliable testing and measurements demonstrate that the composition profile includes the Cannabinoids THC, CBD, CBG, THCV, CBDV and CBC, as well as the Terpenes Beta-caryophyllene, Beta-panasinsene and Selina. While other minor Cannabinoids are present, their identity determination requires further work on the measurement techniques as the current conventional ones are not advanced enough to deal with such a distinctive Cannabinoids profile. The profile and ratio between the various Cannabinoids found in BioHarvest's product is unique and sets a path for both potential patentability and applicability to address medical indications such as ADHD, pain management and anxiety. For further protection of BioHarvest's IP and to secure patentability, more quantitative information about the profile will be revealed before September 15th, 2022. In the interim, the company confirms with certainty the significance of THC, CBD and CBG quantities inside the unique Cannabis composition.
"These achievements are remarkable and demonstrate the ability to produce unique and consistent Cannabis compositions that would have been impossible using conventional agriculture," said Prof. Zohar Kerem, Head of the Food Chemistry Labs of the Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. "I have been closely watching the application of BioHarvest's Bio-Plant CELLicitation™ technology to Cannabis, and I am confident that advanced analysis techniques will become available soon to further unveil the Cannabinoids richness of the unique BioHarvest's compositions."
One of the special characteristics of this Cannabis product is that it is made of trichomes representing 93% of the biomass. Trichomes are the plant's natural "mini-factories" that produce the active Cannabis ingredients (Cannabinoids, terpenes and other phytochemicals). Unlike conventional Cannabis products where a significant part of the biomass includes other parts of the flower which have a bitter taste, BioHarvest's product is primarily composed of trichomes. This significant reduction of bitterness renders the product easier to integrate in food and beverage applications.
Moreover, the unique conformation of our trichomes (amalgamated in a coral shape structure) may provide for enhanced solubility and bio-availability of the product. This would allow administration of lower doses to achieve the same desired effects, which would otherwise require a higher quantity in the case of conventionally cultivated Cannabis products.
"Our consistent, clean and efficacious Cannabis, produced with the highest ESG credentials and capital efficiency, has received a significant boost with the latest conclusive composition profile information," said CEO Ilan Sobel. "This rich full-spectrum combination of Cannabinoids and Terpenes with unique ratios is very promising for addressing medical conditions otherwise treated by synthetic drugs with significant negative side effects. The reduced bitterness taste and the potential improved solubility of our products amount to a game-changer for integration of full-spectrum Cannabis into the food & beverage industry."
BioHarvest plans to bring its first Cannabis products to market in 2022 and will be converting the current VINIA® 2-tons/year facility in Rehovot, Israel to produce Cannabis. This is happening as a result of the transition of all VINIA ® manufacturing to the new 20-ton/year facility in Yavneh, Israel.

$CNVCF Bioharvest Sciences Inc. Successfully Completes Cannabis R&D ProgramPress Release | 03/23/2022
Now producing Cannabis biomass in large scale industrial bioreactors under the current R&D license.
Commencing the process of transitioning the current Israeli Cannabis R&D license to a production license.
Vancouver, British Columbia and Rehovot, Israel--(Newsfile Corp. - March 23, 2022) - BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE: BHSC) ("BioHarvest" or the "Company") today announced that it has produced Cannabis Biomass in large scale industrial bioreactors, which represents the completion of the Company's Cannabis R&D program.
On December 8th, 2021, BHSC became the first company ever to announce that it could produce Cannabis biomass without growing the plant itself. Building on that breakthrough, the Company has made significant progress, and has now produced Cannabis in large scale industrial bioreactors, marking the start of the transition to commercial scale manufacturing. To that end, the Company has commenced the process to obtain a production license in Israel for its Cannabis products to complement the R&D license it has used to date for the Cannabis development program.
Dr. Yochi Hagay, CTO, said "I am elated and proud of this achievement. The R&D team has relentlessly pursued this moment, which marks a new era for the Cannabis industry. Our proprietary and unique amalgamated trichome structure has proven resistant to shear forces applied during the cell growth process in liquid media and it will demonstrate more advantages when it comes to the medicinal application of our products. I have never doubted our ability to use our CELLicitation technology to produce Cannabis without the need to grow the plant itself and we have broken biological barriers to grow high performance trichomes in liquid suspension. We are now ready to bring our first unique Cannabis compositions to the world. We will of course continue to invest in Cannabis R&D to add more Cannabis products to the portfolio, appreciate the IP assets and drive even further manufacturing efficiencies."
BioHarvest plans to bring its first Cannabis products to market in 2022 and will be converting the current VINIA® 2 tons/year facility in Rehovot, Israel to produce Cannabis. This is happening in conjunction with the transition of all VINIA ® manufacturing to the new 20 tons/year facility in Yavneh, Israel, which will support the scaling of successful sales of VINIA® in the US and beyond.
Ilan Sobel, CEO, states "Our unprecedented achievements present a great opportunity for the Cannabis industry. Consistent, clean, and efficacious Cannabis that is produced with the highest ESG credentials and capital efficiency with significantly lower manufacturing costs is the revolution this industry needs to gain further market traction and trust by the regulators worldwide. Our CELLicitation platform technology is a true market disruptor, cementing BioHarvest's position as a leader in plant cellular biology. With the completion of the initial Cannabis R&D program, more focus can now be applied towards achieving the desired scale for our two business verticals, Polyphenols/Antioxidants and Cannabis."

$CNVCF BioHarvest Sciences Inc. Plans to Build a Production Facility in Ontario to Serve the Canadian Market with Unique Cannabis Products
Press Release | 01/20/2022
Vancouver, British Columbia, and Rehovot, Israel--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2022) - BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE: BHSC) ("BioHarvest" or the "Company") has announced its plan to build a production facility in Canada, as part of the next phase in the global expansion of its Cannabis vertical. To that end, the Company is exploring opportunities to acquire an existing licensed facility or a Licensed Producer (LP), which would enable the Company to use its BioFarming technology to produce and then sell unique cannabis products into the Canadian market.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has also moved its production of full-spectrum Cannabis biomass to industrial scale bioreactors, which is a critical final step in ensuring adequate production levels for commercialization. This full spectrum, pesticide free, non-genetically modified biomass is based on the Company's proprietary BioFarming technology that produces Cannabis without growing the plant itself.
Following the news release on December 8, 2021, where the Company announced that it was the first to produce a significant amount of full spectrum, non GMO Cannabis biomass without growing the Cannabis plant itself, the Company has moved swiftly towards the final stage of the development program by now growing the Trichome cells in industrial scale bioreactors. The Trichome cells contain Cannabinoids such as CBD, THC, as well as other compounds that grow naturally in the Cannabis plant. This stage successfully tested the resilience of BioHarvest's proprietary "amalgamated Trichome cells" against the shear forces generated by the large bioreactor's liquid media motion. These amalgamated Trichomes have a coral shaped structure and have a density of up to 200 times greater than the conventional agriculture case. To view the first video footage of our Cannabis biomass, visit www.bioharvest.com/investors.
Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest, said, "Our BioFarming technology not only enables the production of full-spectrum Cannabis without growing the plant but also creates unique new patentable and consistent compositions that will have corresponding human utility value. I am excited about the opportunity to bring such unique Cannabis solutions to the Canadian market by building a local production facility in Canada. To that end, we have started the engagement for finding an adequate facility and/or acquiring an existing LP who has the appropriate licenses."
BioHarvest is asking those LP's who are interested in a collaborative agreement regarding this announcement to send requests to partnership@bioharvest.com.
All interested media and investors are invited to attend an 'Introduction to BioHarvest' webinar on January 26, at 11 am PST. The event will include a live Question and Answer session. Please register here: https://app.livestorm.co/st-financial/introduction-to-bioharvest?type=detailed

(CSE: BHSC) ("BioHarvest" or the "Company") today announces another strong quarter of sales growth for VINIA®, its nutrient-rich red grape supplement created through the Company's proprietary BioFarming technology, in both Israel and the United States. The USD 825k of sales orders in Q4 from its direct-to-consumer ecommerce business represents a 17% increase over Q3 and are triple the sales orders from the same quarter in 2020.

Moreover, sales and marketing metrics in the US point clearly to increasingly robust demand. Approximately 83% of 2020 sales and 89% of orders at www.vinia.com are derived from subscriptions packages with approximately 70% of subscriptions accounting for recurring payment packages of 3 months or more, demonstrating a significant opportunity to build a scalable, sustainable, and profitable business.
To continue to drive the company's leadership in global e-commerce and marketing, BioHarvest has hired Jared Turner as VP of Global E-Commerce. Turner, who joined in December, brings over 15 years of relevant leadership experience in building end-to-end Nutraceutical e-commerce businesses. Under his stewardship, the commercial team is poised to achieve further sales growth in VINIA® as well as other products that will be introduced in 2022, including Cannabis.
"I am very proud of the sales results achieved in the last quarter and for the entire year," said CEO, Ilan Sobel. "Combined with the scientific and technological accomplishments we posted, 2021 was an outstanding year. The sales and marketing team has demonstrated unique capabilities to successfully grow the business. We eagerly look forward to scaling our US pilot once our technology transfer to our new 20 ton/year VINIA® manufacturing facility is successfully completed, enabling us to reach optimal production levels. I anticipate another year of record sales in 2022, positively impacting the health and wellness of tens of thousands of satisfied customers."
BioHarvest further expanded the applicability of its proprietary technology in 2021, which allows it to harvest nutrients and active ingredients without growing plants, with the announcement in December that the Company had developed the capability to produce a meaningful amount - 10 kilograms - of full-spectrum Cannabis biomass without growing the plant itself.
In November, BioHarvest appointed renowned Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield to its board of advisors as part of a drive to leverage its biotech technology platform to provide essential nutrition and active ingredients for space exploration and potential settlement in space.

$CNVCF BioHarvest Sciences Inc. 2021 CEO Letter to Shareholder Partners
Press Release | 12/30/2021
Vancouver, British Columbia and Rehovot, Israel--(Newsfile Corp. - December 30, 2021) - BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE: BHSC) (OTC PINK: CNVCF) ("BioHarvest" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following year-end shareholder partner letter from CEO Ilan Sobel.
Dear friends,
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity at the end of the year to summarize for our shareholder partners the major accomplishments of what has been an inspiring and transformative first full calendar year for me as CEO of BioHarvest Sciences. I will also include my own forward-looking thoughts for how we are envisioning the year ahead, in which we expect to trigger an acceleration of revenue growth, a game-changing expansion of our product lineup, as well as regulatory work and clinical studies that will provide a clear roadmap to continued global growth. Our vision is to drive human utility value: making a fundamental and positive change to our consumer's overall health and wellness. 2022 will be a year in which we not only open new doors as we further scale and commercialize our products, but also open minds to the significant potential that our platform technology has to drive this fundamental improvement in health and wellness on a global scale.
In accordance with BioHarvest's vision and its biotech journey, I am extremely proud to share below the team's 2021 achievements grouped by key areas: Science & Technology, Operations, Sales, Finance and Environmental & Social Governance.
2021 Achievements
Science & Technology
In August 2021, we announced the historical creation of the Amalgamated Trichomes Coral Structure (ATCS). Why was this so important? Because the way to deliver full spectrum cannabis is to grow the trichomes, which are the mini factories of the cannabis plant where all cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes are produced. These trichomes are delicate components of the plant which can be vulnerable to the shear forces applied by the motion of the liquid media in the bioreactors. This new coral structure protects the trichomes during their growth in such a way that has enabled us to move from lab-scale creation of the trichomes towards larger scale bioreactors.
We announced on December 8 that we were the first company in the world to grow a significant amount of cannabis biomass "without growing the plant", creating biotech and Cannabis industry history. With three different strains under development, we have now produced over 10 kilograms of biomass. The news has generated significant media interest (which I will detail below), and it has also introduced our science to thousands of new investors, science fans, and cannabis enthusiasts. It has provided a firm launch point for 2022, and there is more to come: I have challenged our marketing team to have the accompanying video viewed 1 million+ times, and we are already at 250,000+, so please stay tuned to our upcoming media placements!
Through our continued research, we added a new functionality claim for VINIA®, which reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, enabling VINIA® to have one more important reason to appeal to the millions of consumers concerned about their cardiovascular health.
Operations
I am so proud that our new 20 Ton per year production facility was completed on schedule, passing the ISO audits in September 2021, despite significant global supply challenges. We received GMP certification from Israel's Ministry of Health in November and we are currently working hard to execute the biological technology transfer, so we can commence production.
Our Science, Advisory and Executive teams are critical for executing our biotech vision. This year we were honored to add both significant brain power and experience to each group with the addition of Colonel Chris Hadfield (space and aeronautics), Dr. Dennis Goodman (cardiology), Steven Lehrer (biotech), and Scott McCune (consumer marketing) to our Advisory Board. David Tsur (pharmaceutical and biotech) has joined the Board of Directors. Kobi Rosenzweig (VP operations) and Jarred Turner (VP of E-commerce) have joined the executive team. Building a world class company requires world class people - I am so pleased that each of these industry experts has joined us on our journey.
Sales
Israel Sales - This time last year we were energized by the spectacular VINIA Israel ecommerce launch in Q4 2020, which established a sales momentum that we have been able to successfully maintain. Throughout 2021, we continued to grow revenue in this market, at 10% sales growth quarter on quarter, for the first 3 quarters of the year, and accordingly have increased full year guidance on two occasions.
VINIA US Market launch - May 2021. While this highlight is only one of many from 2021, it represented a giant leap forward for BioHarvest Sciences. We created entirely new operational units to facilitate the workings of a successful North American e-commerce business, including Marketing, Fulfilment, Customer Success, and global supply. We also added the required thought leadership with committed staff and external partners to bring us their expertise and drive from Launch Day forward.
Sales performance in the U.S. pilot program has been extremely encouraging with us crossing the US$100,000 sales orders per month mark very early in the launch, with 89% of sales being subscription packages generating monthly recurring revenue, and an average sales order value of US $80 per transaction.
We have been humbled by the feedback from our consumer base - as of this week, new VINIA users have submitted 350+ verified reviews, with a 4.8/5 rating, which is best in class from a performance perspective when benchmarked versus industry norms.
We look forward to scaling our US launch as soon as we bring our new 20 Ton per year manufacturing facility online and to adding significant customer count to a base that already exceeds 11,000 customers across USA and Israel.
B2B Sales - our Batory sales and distribution partnership continues to add significant value for the business. We have successfully expanded our partnership with "Designs for Health Inc" who in 2021 formulated VINIA® into 3 new products which are now commercially available including "NRF2 Modulator", "Senolytic Synergy" and "Bergavin™". We are currently engaged in a number of strategic discussions with giants of industry and look forward to converting additional major B2B partnerships in 2022.
Finance
Investors have reacted positively to the company's achievements throughout 2021. The share price increased ~130% from the beginning of the year to reflect a recently reached market capitalization of ~$200 million.
Strong treasury - In 2021, we raised a total of $9.4 Million CAD in two successful private placements, plus $4.6 Million CAD in exercised warrants.
In 2021, we have significantly increased the investor base. As the company continues to perform well against its biotech vision and increases revenues substantially, the prospects remain high for 2022 to further increase that base and to add more institutional investors.
Given the 2021 achievements record and the 2022 prospects listed below, we believe that BioHarvest presents a very attractive investment opportunity.
Environmental & Social Governance
I trust that our community of investor partners understands how deeply we are committed to making BioHarvest Sciences a role model for other companies to follow as it relates to our ESG credentials and delivering continuous improvement across key identified metrics.
In July, we became the first Biotechnology company that produces cannabinoids to publish an ESG Sustainability report. This initial report was our first, and there are more to come. As the Globe and Mail reported on Dec 28. 2021, our BioFarming technology can reduce land requirements for nutrient growth by 95%. Investors are welcome to access the complete ESG report here.
We are a company committed to diversity in the workplace and understand the power of diversity to help create competitive advantage. We are very proud of the fact that 55% of our workforce is female and that our entire R & D team is female. Importantly, as a company that understands the power of experience, we have more than 45% of our workforce above the age of 50 years old. This provides us with a wealth of brain power, people maturity and a unique sense of drive and commitment to make the world better for our children and grandchildren.
Our December media coverage on cannabis R+D has generated a wave of commercial inquiries, which is fantastic, and we are committed to responding to every contact. I want to reassure investors that we will consider every commercial opportunity, but I do want our community to understand that our first priority will be to supply cannabis ingredients for medicinal applications in line with our commitment to be a purpose driven company. We do not envision replacing recreational suppliers, or artisan growers - we will focus on providing fingerprint consistent ingredients for products that require the highest levels of cleanliness and consistency.
Media Coverage
This year, we partnered with two very established public relations firms (Boldt and Thunder-11) to help introduce us to both Major news media and the cannabis community, and it has paid huge dividends in "earned" media coverage. For the portion of our community that follows early-stage companies, this major media interest will be mind blowing, as small companies will rarely make the news cycle. Our North American news coverage is spiking here at the end of 2021, which establishes a fantastic launching point for the New Year.

The Globe and Mail: Dec. 28 - Canadian-Israeli biotech company growing nutrients for Earth and beyond
The Houston Chronicle: Dec. 27 - Bowie Singing Astronaut developing protein pills for real space travel
CannabisTech.com: Dec. 23 - How to Grow Cannabis Without Growing a Plant
The Jerusalem Post: Dec. 29 - An astounding 2021 for Israeli tech could bring pivot
Looking Forward to 2022
This coming year will see us "land" and "expand", plus drive further impact in existing programs.
We expect to be selling our first cannabis-related products in 2022 upon completion of our final scale up phase and regulatory approvals. For VINIA, we are planning a step up in aggressive US marketing and will continue to push forward on the regulatory approval of VINIA in the EU and UK. As a science-based company, we always want to expand our science-based credentials, so we intend to fund additional clinical trials on VINIA, cannabis, and our olive cell product which is next in our polyphenol/antioxidant pipeline.
At some point in the first half of 2022, we will likely announce the next plant-based vertical which we believe we can disrupt with our proprietary platform technology, adding one more significant validation on how we can bring the power of the plant to the people. Investors can also anticipate the 2022 launch of our first cannabis products and the significant scaling of VINIA®. I expect these two products to generate market-moving revenues in 2022, but they are just the start.
We will also join the space race as the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sir Richard Branson work to make "space settlements" something of a reality by 2030. We will work closely with our new advisory board member Colonel Chris Hadfield to start the process to assess how we can use our proprietary platform to help solve two major challenges which exists for space settlements - sustainable food supply and reducing the effects of ionizing radiation on oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
Our entire team is so thankful that you have been part of this stage in our growth phase, and we are very proud to partner with you on our biotech journey. We are inspired by your support and the deep sense of "purpose" that you share with us on the BioHarvest Sciences team. That primary purpose is to drive Human Utility Value, and to drive a transformational positive change in the Health and Wellness of hundreds of millions of people.
Our team is laser focused on executing the 2022 plan, and we intend to make 2022 a year to remember.

Happy New Year and may your 2022 be filled with only good health and blessings.
Warmest wishes,
Ilan Sobel, Chief Executive Officer

Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this news release includes forward-looking statements that are based on management's current estimates, beliefs, intentions, and expectations, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. There is no assurance that the Israeli market results will translate directly into the U.S. markets which may depend on different consumer preferences and more substantial marketing expenditures and resources. There is no assurance that strong sales metrics experienced to date will result in future demand or that the 15% increase for VINIA® sales orders forecast in Israel will be achieved by end of 2021. Markets for nutraceuticals are unpredictable and subject to changes in consumer tastes and trends as well as economic factors beyond our control. Delays and cost overruns may result in delays achieving our objectives obtaining market acceptance, and regulatory approvals for geographic expansion is subject to risk and cannot be guaranteed. Projected sales of Cannabis will require the Company to obtain production and/or export licensing which cannot be assured.
All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and actual results may be affected by a number of material factors beyond our control. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. BHSC does not intend to update forward-looking statement disclosures other than through our regular management discussion and analysis disclosures.
Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
