MONTREAL, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Cannara Biotech Inc. ("Cannara") (CSE: LOVE) (OTCQB: LOVFF) (FRA: 8CB) today announced the financial results for the three-month period and year ended August 31, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.
FISCAL 2020 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
"The whole team has done an excellent job in 2020 advancing our cultivation program, resulting in a robust portfolio of key genetics that will be imminently launched throughout Québec and beyond," said Zohar Krivorot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cannara. "Based on the positive feedback and more importantly, the re-orders and a material supply agreement from our wholesale partners, we are confident our products will resonate with cannabis consumers. This next chapter in our Company's progress - brands, consumer acceptance and ultimately market share - will be key themes for us in 2021."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company's Cannabis operations segment did not generate cannabis-related revenues from its main cultivation activities as the Company had not yet received its amended sales license. First harvest occurred on April 20, 2020 and since then, harvests have been occurring every week. All lots currently in the cultivation phase are growing for commercialization and will be offered on the wholesale or retail market. It is expected that the amended sales license will be obtained early in the new year.
As part of the Company's capital management strategy, the Company has leased out a significant portion of the currently unoccupied space in the Farnham Facility. As at August 31, 2020, The Company leased 423,551 square feet of the total 625,000 available square feet to three tenants. For the three-month period and the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company generated lease revenues of $515,695 and $2,394,975 compared to $553,308 and $2,096,974 in the same periods of the prior year. This represents an increase of $298,001 for the year ended, due mainly to the addition of a new tenant during the second and third quarter of 2020.
For the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, the Company reported a total comprehensive loss of $3.9 million or a loss per share of $0.01; compared to $3.8 million or a loss per share of $0.01 in the same period of prior year.
