VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2019 / Viridium Pacific Group Ltd. ("Viridium" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VIR) (OTC PINK: VIRFF) is pleased to provide shareholders with the Q1 financials and a corporate update.
Financials
Viridium has now filed its Q1 2019 consolidated interim financial statements, and management discussion and analysis for the period ending February 28, 2019 on SEDAR.
Business Update
Viridium and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Experion Biotechnologies ("Experion"), a licensed cultivator and processing company under the Cannabis Act, are gaining traction on many of management's strategic goals since the last update. The Company continues to support the wholesale and starting materials markets throughout Canada with several new wholesale customers onboarding over the past month. Management recently visited several cultivation facilities throughout Western Canada fostering supply agreements and buy back programs.
Experion's sought-after retail flower, Citizen Stash, intended for the Adult-Use market is now available in BC and Saskatchewan. Initial orders for both provinces sold out quickly with a 400% increase in re-orders, which were shipped in early April. Experion is actively working with several provincial government distributors in three other provinces with the aim of expanding retail sales.
On April 8, 2019, EFX Laboratories Inc. ("EFX"), another wholly-owned subsidiary of Viridium, commenced medical two-piece capsule sales through its strategic partnership with Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. ("BCC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aphria Inc. EFX commercially manufactures the medical two-piece capsules on behalf of Aphria through a revenue sharing agreement. This product offering contains various THC and CBD concentrations, and gives medical clients a dose-controlled, predictive, tasteless, odorless, and discreet option for consuming cannabis oil. Additionally, the whole-flower, full spectrum capsule is one of few available in the Canadian cannabis market resulting in a unique selling position. The product is available to medical clientele via BCC's online sales portal.
On April 9, 2019, Health Canada conducted its annual inspection of Experion's facility under the Cannabis Act. The inspection consisted of three inspectors over a two-day period resulting in no issues or observations, and a continued high compliance rating for all Experion's licenses and sub-licenses. Experion is setting the standard for quality assurance and compliance in the industry.
Canopy expansion and GMP certification renovations are underway at Experion's Mission facility; ultimately, increasing cultivation and processing areas by 60% and integrating extraction capabilities under GMP processing when complete.
