James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results
28 May 2019 - 7:07AM
James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“
JWC” or
the “
Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: JWCA; OTCQX:
JWCAF), announced today the achievements as disclosed by its
unaudited financial and operational statements, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2019 which ended on March 31, 2019 (“
Q2
2019”). The Corporation is pleased to report that its
interim financial statements and management’s discussion and
analysis for Q2 2019, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All
amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Nathan Woodworth, President and Chief Executive
Officer, noted, “Q2 was a transitional quarter for JWC. The focus
was on preparation for anticipated receipt of the cultivation
licence for JWC 2, which was received on March 29, 2019. JWC’s
preparation bore good results; by the end of the day following
receipt of the cultivation licence, the physical transfer of all
prepared plant materials into the JWC 2 facility was completed. A
little less than a month later, both of the JWC facilities were
operating at full capacity and our operational resources were again
substantially focused on cultivating, producing, and harvesting
clean, consistent, aeroponically grown cannabis. With construction
continuing on the second phase at JWC 2, the Corporation is
expecting to add a further 35,000 square feet of flowering space
within the next few months. The Phase 1 space added at the end of
Q2 immediately upon receipt of the Health Canada cultivation
licence, is expected to see its first complete harvest cycle before
the end of the following quarter. This is expected to provide
significant and continuously increasing revenues commencing in the
second half of fiscal 2019 and beyond.”

For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the
Corporation’s net and comprehensive loss was $5,730,553 (as
compared with $3,416,827 for the six months ended March 31,
2018).
The Corporation had just over 157 kg of dried
cannabis, and slightly under 14 litres of formulated oil in its
storage vault at the end of Q2 2019. Revenues in the second quarter
were relatively flat to Q1. With the addition of JWC 2, the
Corporation’s second production facility located at 530 Manitou
Drive, Kitchener, at the end of Q2 2019, the Corporation is
expecting to see the first harvests late in the following quarter,
with impacts on revenue and profitability expected
subsequently.
The Corporation has been and is continuing to
build out the JWC 2 facility. During Q2 2019, the Corporation
entered into two long term debt arrangements. Adding these
arrangements to the Corporation’s existing capital ensures that JWC
has the necessary liquidity and flexibility to meet its growth
objectives.
