Pro Forma Presentation

The pro forma information (“Pro Forma Information”) presented herein
is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial
condition that would have been achieved if the proposed acquisitions to
which the Pro Forma Information relates had been completed on the dates
or for the periods presented, nor do they purport to project the results
of operations or financial position of the combined entities for any
future period or as of any future date. Actual amounts recorded upon
consummation of the acquisitions to which the Pro Forma Information
relates would likely differ from those recorded in the Pro Forma
Information. The Pro Forma Information does not reflect any special
items such as integration costs or operating synergies that may be
realized as a result of the acquisitions to which the Pro Forma
Information relates.

Non-IFRS Financial and Performance Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Company
provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in
accordance with IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS financial measures, in
addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating
results across accounting periods, for financial and operational
decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate
the Company’s financial performance. These non-IFRS financial measures
are Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect
the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful
comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate
comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of
peer companies. Management also believes that these non-IFRS financial
measures enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results
and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-IFRS
financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be
unusual in nature, infrequent or not reflective of the Company’s ongoing
operating results.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS
measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others,
and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly,
these non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures
that are not defined under IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS
financial measures, and believes they enhance an investor’s
understanding of the Company’s financial and operating performance from
period to period, because they excludes certain material non-cash items
and certain other adjustments management believes are not reflective of
the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The Company calculates
EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus
(minus) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization
expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain one-time non-operating
expenses, as determined by management, including stock compensation
expense, goodwill impairment, loss (gain) on disposal of asset and
business combination expense.

Reconciliations of Non-IFRS Financial and Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net Loss in the Management
Discussion and Analysis of the Company for the quarter ended on March
31, 2019, which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.

The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.

Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.

“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”

Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
