VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2020 / World-Class Extractions Inc. (CSE:PUMP)(FRA:WCF)(OTCQB:WCEXF) (the "Company" or "World-Class"), is pleased to report the operating and financial results for its year ended April 30, 2020.
Company Summary
World-Class is an innovation-driven company with a principle focus on the evolving cannabis and hemp industries. Through its subsidiaries, World-Class is working on partnerships to deploy and manage custom-built extraction centres utilizing its custom systems, technology, and processes to efficiently produce high-quality cannabis and hemp concentrates and end-products.
In addition, Pineapple Express Delivery ("PED"), a company in which the Company holds a controlling interest, offers compliant and secure delivery of government regulated products, including medical and recreational cannabis in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and liquor delivery in certain jurisdictions in Saskatchewan.
On July 29, 2020, World-Class announced that a company in which World-Class holds a 50% equity interest, Cobra Ventures Inc. ("Cobra"), entered into an agreement to acquire a senior secured convertible debenture of HydRx Farms Ltd. operating as Scientus Pharma ("HydRx") in the principal amount of CDN$11,500,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest and charges (the "Debenture") from a leading Canadian Licensed Producer, subject to certain closing conditions. Cobra is purchasing the Debenture for CDN$5,000,000.
Financial (audited)
Rosy Mondin, CEO of World-Class stated: "World-Class has seen a 100% increase in its revenues from prior periods and we anticipate seeing triple-digit revenue growth for the rest of the year. By maximizing the capabilities of our subsidiaries we've been able to capitalize on their successes and the important role they play in supporting the growth of the Canadian cannabis industry. We are pleased with the strong growth from PED - since our acquisition of a controlling interest in PED in March 2020, PED continues to expand its service jurisdictions as well as its delivery of controlled substances, to now include wine, spirits and beer delivery in addition to recreational, medical and B2B cannabis delivery. To further support medical cannabis delivery to patients, PED partnered with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers™ and Spectrum Therapeutics, the medical division of Canopy Growth Corporation. The Soma team completed the commissioning of an independent mobile processing system which efficiently sorts, pelletizes, bags and oxygen-purges acres of hemp crop in hours. In addition, the Company is taking advantage of opportunities to monetize and deploy its extraction systems, and as announced in July 2020 we are purchasing a first position Debenture registered against the assets of HydRx Farms Inc."
"For this year-end," Ms. Mondin continued, "we have taken a extremely conservative accounting approach resulting in the impairment of our intangible assets. World-Class' cash position provides us the flexibility to meet operational obligations, while we pursue other opportunities that may arise during this period of volatility. Management remains hyper-focused as we strategically position ourselves to capitalize on the opportunities ahead in the pursuit of shareholder value. The downturn in the cannabis and hemp industries which began in 2019, and further amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly presented its challenges but our World-Class teams continue to execute on our growth strategy. We are proud of our ability to adapt and pivot to meet today's market realities. The steps taken this past year will result in a leaner and stronger company that will continue to innovate, maximize production and reduce costs and be a strong industry competitor."
