CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Applicant

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in an issue of New Shares in Cann Group Limited. Cann is building an Australianbased business focused on the emerging opportunities relating to the use of medicinal cannabis to treat a range of diseases and other medical conditions.

Cann is the first Australian company to secure the necessary licences to undertake research and to cultivate cannabis for human medicinal and research purposes under the Australian Government’s new medicinal cannabis regulatory system. This system has been implemented following the Royal Assent of the Narcotic Drugs Amendment Bill 2016 on 29 February 2016 which allows cannabis cultivation for medicinal and related scientific purposes.

There is growing recognition and acceptance of numerous claimed benefits of medicinal cannabis, in a range of medicinal applications, supported by increasing scientific evidence of the role of the chemical compounds found in cannabis.

Cann has a highly skilled and experienced Board and management team that has developed an appropriate strategy to build the capabilities and collaborative relationships necessary to capitalise on the opportunities that are emerging in the medicinal cannabis industry.

Cann proposes to expand to its new administration, research and development and cultivation facility in the second quarter of this year, and has entered into several collaborative agreements that will support the Company’s objective to be a leader in the medicinal cannabis industry.

The Offer contained in this Prospectus provides Applicants with the opportunity to subscribe for New Shares at 30 cents each with a minimum subscription by each Applicant of 6,700 New Shares or $2,010.

The joint Lead Managers and Underwriters to the Offer are Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and PAC Partners Pty Ltd. The Offer will enable the Company to raise a minimum of $13,500,000 (before costs and expenses), which will provide working capital to fund Cann’s breeding, cultivation, extraction and production programs.

I am pleased to inform you that Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSXV:ACB) has committed to subscribe for 21,562,314 New Shares under the Offer which, upon subscription for and allotment of these New Shares, will result in Aurora holding 19.9% of the total number of Shares on issue after completion of the Offer. Aurora is one of the largest stock exchange listed marijuana companies in Canada with vast experience in the cultivation and manufacture of medical cannabis.

Potential investors should also be aware that there are a number of risks associated with the Cann business and therefore risks associated with an investment in Cann Group Limited. These risks include business specific risks related to market acceptance of the Cann products, the potential effect of regulatory changes or requirements for approvals and risks associated with competitors. The key risks are identified in Section 1.5 of the Investment Overview and outlined in further detail in Section 5 of the Prospectus.

I encourage you to read this Prospectus carefully and in its entirety before making an investment decision.

On behalf of the Board, I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder of Cann.

Yours sincerely

• What medical conditions will qualify as conditions for treatment
with medicinal cannabis products; and
• What quantities of those approved medicinal cannabis products
will be authorised and permitted by the relevant authorities to be

and Oil Yield to produce medicinal cannabis is inherently reliant on a controlled
environment supported by known growing precedents of cannabis
varieties. Any interruption to the controlled environment including
power failures, lighting failures, lack of water, breach of security
protocols, pest or plant diseases or the introduction of new cannabis
varieties with uncertain or unknown in-door growing history may
materially impact on both the grow time and, therefore, the number
of harvests or the cannabinoid oil yield generated from each harvest.
Any adverse outcomes in respect of these matters will or could
adversely affect Cann’s proposed activities and operations, financial
performance and prospects.
Product The Company cannot give any assurances that any or all products Section 5.1.16
Approval Risk that require Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) (or overseas
equivalent) approval or registration on the Australian Register of
Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) will receive such approvals or registrations
and the non-approval or non-registration by the TGA may mean that
the products cannot be sold in Australia which will or is likely to impact
upon the revenue generation and financial performance and prospects
of the Company.
Counterparty Cann has entered and intends to enter into several commercial Section 5.1.7
Risk agreements and arrangements (including licences) with third parties
that are, or could be, material to the financial performance and prospects
of the business. One of these agreements is presently a Memorandum
of Understanding, being the Anandia MoU, with a more substantial
commercial agreement to follow at a later stage. There is a risk
that Anandia may not execute such an agreement or, in respect
of agreements that have been executed or executed in the future,
meet their obligations under those agreements and arrangements.
Negative commercial consequences will, or are likely to result from,
the non-execution of such an agreement and any non-observance
of such obligations under such agreements, including the inability
of Cann to execute a part or parts of its business plan which will
result in an adverse effect on Cann’s proposed activities and
operations, financial performance and prospects.
Start Up Risk Potential investors should be aware that investing in a start-up Section 5.1.4
enterprise and industry, such as Cann, should be considered highly
speculative and involves many significant risks.

TOPIC SUMMARY INFORMATION
Fit and Proper Cann operates in a highly regulated industry. Any changes in Section 5.1.8
Persons shareholding or directorship to the entity (Cannoperations Pty Ltd)
that holds Cann’s licences and permits to operate must be notified to
the Office of Drug Control (ODC) which will assess whether the new
shareholder or director satisfies the “fit and proper person” test for the
purposes of the ND Act . Any change that the ODC determines does
not satisfy the “fit and proper person” test will likely see Cann’s licences
and permits to operate will or likely be revoked and any new applications
will or likely to be rejected.
Further, if there is any change in the Board or the shareholding of
Cann and such change results in a person or persons or an entity
being a “business associate” of Cannoperations and is in a position
to influence the management or operations of Cannoperations and
does not satisfy the “fit and proper person” test then the licences and
permits will or likely be revoked and applications for licences and/or
permits will or likely be rejected with the result that Cann will be unable
to carry on its business. As Cann is a public company and is seeking
to be admitted to the official list, the Board cannot control or prevent
the transfer of Shares in Cann or the election of a person or persons
as new directors of Cann.

product and occur which would have the effect of reducing patient, medical/
business scientific or regulatory confidence or preferences for cannabis or
reputation be medicinal cannabis products generally or Cann’s products
association specifically.
The consequences of such an incident could be very significant for
Cann, with adverse impacts potentially including reduced revenues
and financial performance and prospects.
Other Risks The Company may be subject to other specific risks including risks Sections 5.1
relating to: and 5.2
• Market size and demand;
• Environmental and regulatory matters;
• Technology;
• Commercialisation of research and development;
• Pests and plant diseases;
• Obtaining licences, permits and other regulatory approvals;
• Capacity to insure; and
• Competition,

2. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

2.11 Allotment and Issue of New Shares

The Company expects to allot and issue the New Shares as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Except for the issue of new Shares as a result of the exercise of the Existing Options and the conversion of the Class B Performance Rights, no allotment of New Shares will be made until permission is granted for quotation of the New Shares on ASX (refer to Section 2.14 for further details).

The final allocation of New Shares to Applicants will be determined by the Joint Lead Managers in agreement with the Company.

The Company, in agreement with Canaccord and PAC Partners, reserves the right to:

Reject any application, including but not limited to Applications that have been incorrectly completed, or are accompanied by cheques that are dishonoured, or have not cleared by the close of the Offer; and
Reject or aggregate Applications which appear to be multiple Applications by the same party.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to await the determination of their Allocation (if any) prior to trading in the New Shares.

There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any New Shares or the number of New Shares it has applied for. Shareholders who sell their Shares before they receive their holding statement(s) do so at their own risk and should they be subject to escrow, may risk breach of their escrow conditions.

2.12 Speculative Nature of Offer and Risk Factors

As with any investment in listed securities, an investment in the Company is subject to several risks. Applicants should understand that the Company’s projects are both speculative and subject to a wide range of risks and that even if the Company successfully achieves all its stated goals, Applicants may lose the entire value of their investment.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, Applicants should read this document carefully and in its entirety, with a particular emphasis on the risk factors detailed in Section 1 and Section 5.

Applicants should consider these matters having regard to their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation affairs), their own risk profiles and investment parameters and, where necessary, seek professional advice before deciding whether, or not to apply for New Shares.

2.13 Withdrawal of Prospectus

The Directors, in consultation with Canaccord and PAC Partners, reserve the right not to proceed with the Offer at any time before the allotment and issue of New Shares to Shareholders. This Offer may be withdrawn at any time. In this event, the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) within 28 days of giving the notice of withdrawal.

2.14 ASX Quotation

The Company will not be instated to Official Quotation until satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer and compliance with ASX Listing Rules.

Application for Official Quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If approval is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all Application Monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act , without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.

2.15 Application Monies held on Trust

Application Monies in respect of New Shares will be held on trust for Applicants in a subscription account until the New Shares are allotted and issued. All Application Monies will be returned if the New Shares are not allotted and issued.

2.16 Applications Outside Australia

The Offer under this Prospectus does not constitute a public offer in any jurisdiction outside Australia unless otherwise stipulated (Refer also to Section 10.12). This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to constitute, an Offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an Offer or issue this Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

It is the responsibility of non-Australian resident investors to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus. The return of a completed Application Form by an Applicant outside Australia will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all approvals have been obtained. Applicants who are nominees or persons proposing to act as nominees should seek independent advice as to whether governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed, before taking up Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

2.17 Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will apply to participate in the security transfer system known as CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, for those Applicants who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Applicants who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to Applicants. Instead, Applicants will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their Security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

2.18 Restricted Securities

Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List and the ASX’s determination, certain Shares and the Class B Performance Rights on issue prior to the Offer will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation.

The Company expects approximately 30,913,333 Shares will be subject to escrow for 24 months from the date of Official Quotation as a result of various dealings in Securities by Directors, former Directors and advisers. In addition, it is expected that the 2,000,000 Underwriter Options will be treated as restricted securities, and the underlying Shares issued if the 2,000,000 Underwriter Options are exercised, will be subject to escrow for 24 months from the date of Official Quotation.

During the period in which these Shares are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of Shares in a timely manner.

The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX.

2.19 Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring New Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

It is not necessary for Applicants to quote their tax file number on the Application Form. However, Applicants should read the instructions in the Application Form regarding the provision of their tax file number.

2. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

2.20 No Forecasts in Prospectus

The Company is not forecasting to generate any meaningful revenue in the short term as – having secured the appropriate cannabis research licence and a medicinal cannabis licence for cultivation and production and currently seeking to secure the necessary permits – it will initially be focused on the establishment of its new research and development and cultivation base; progressing its breeding program and extraction technology and participating in clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of proposed medicinal cannabis treatments.

Additionally, it is not appropriate to provide financial forecasts given some uncertainty relating to:

The specific practical procedures and protocols to be established and rolled out by the relevant authorities under the new legislative regime in relation to medicinal cannabis and the timing of such implementation together with the necessary clinical trials to be conducted in respect of various medicinal cannabis products to be approved by the relevant authorities for such clinical testing;
The outcome of future clinical trials, and which medicinal cannabis products (and their specific THC and/or CBD formulations) will become acceptable to or approved by the relevant authorities including the TGA and its medical advisory committee (both in the short term and medium term);
What medical conditions will qualify as conditions for medicinal cannabis products; and
What quantities of those approved medicinal cannabis products will be authorised and permitted by the relevant authorities to be produced or manufactured (both in the short term and medium term).
Accordingly, the Company is not in a position to disclose any reliable key financial projections for the purposes of this Prospectus.

2.21 Recent Prior Capital Raisings and Changes to Capital Structure

Pursuant to an Information Memorandum dated 11 April 2016, the Company raised $1,999,000 through the issue of 3,331,667 new Shares at 60 cents each (or at the equivalent price for those allotted after the Subdivision – see below) with 3,331,667 Options (at no additional consideration) that are exercisable at 60 cents on or before the earlier of 31 March 2017 or the date of allotment of New Shares under any prospectus issued by the Company in relation to its admission of the Company to the Official List.

On 30 June 2016, the Company held an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and obtained Shareholder approval to:

Effect that the issued capital of the Company be reconstructed on the basis that:
Every one (1) Share be subdivided into four (4) Shares;
Every one (1) Existing Option be subdivided into four (4) Existing Options; and
Every one (1) Performance Right be subdivided into four (4) Performance Rights,
and where the Subdivision results in a fraction of a Security being held by a Security holder, the Directors be authorised to round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.
As a consequence of the approval of the requisite resolutions on 30 June 2016 at the Annual General Meeting:
The number of Shares on issue increased from 9,836,667 to 39,346,668 (a further 640,000 Shares have been issued since the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2016 on the terms set out in the Information Memorandum dated 11 April 2016);
The number of Existing Options on issue increased from 3,211,667 to 12,846,668 with a decrease in the exercise price of the Existing Options from 60 cents to 15 cents (a further 640,000 Options have been issued since the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2016 on the terms set out in the Information Memorandum dated 11 April 2016);
The number of Class A Performance Rights on issue increased from 2,750,000 to 11,000,000;
The number of Class B Performance Rights on issue increased from 1,795,000 to 7,180,000; and
Replace the existing Constitution with new Constitution that satisfies the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 37

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

3.1 Introduction

A medicinal cannabis product refers to a product which includes cannabis, and its chemical components (cannabinoids), that can be used for curing, or alleviating the symptoms of, disease, ailment or injury.[2]

The two main cannabinoids that have been identified for therapeutic applications are the psychoactive Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD).

Global momentum around the merits of medicinal cannabis is growing strongly with governments introducing and/or amending legislation to facilitate the legal use of medicinal cannabis in various countries around the world, including in Australia. This, combined with increasing opportunities in the sector, is driving greater general awareness and support for medicinal cannabis, along with a strong demand for investment.

Medicinal cannabis is now seen as a potentially fast growing and valuable sector by investors and there has been considerable global interest in the cultivation and manufacture of medicinal cannabis products, alongside the growing demand from patients seeking access to these products.

3.2 The Potential Market

While the market size for medicinal cannabis in Australia is presently unknown, Cann believes that there is growth potential based on international trends as described in Section 3.12.

The market size and rate of growth in Australia will be significantly influenced by existing laws and regulations pertaining to the manufacturing and sale of therapeutic goods, together with recently reformed laws relating to medicinal cannabis at both Federal and State/Territory levels which together regulate the cultivation, production and manufacturing of cannabis and medicinal cannabis products and patient access to medicinal cannabis products, including (in some States) the conditions which are approved for medicinal cannabis treatment. Accordingly, demand and market growth may differ significantly from other international jurisdictions.

Taking these matters into account, the Office of Drug Control (ODC), being the Government body charged with administering the medicinal cannabis reforms under the Narcotic Drugs Act noted in July 2016 that:[3]

“It is difficult to assess the predicted tonnage of cannabis required until we know more about patient numbers and likely dosage requirements. Various estimates suggest somewhere between 5 and 10 tonnes is likely to satisfy Australian patients…”

3.3 International treaties

Australia is a signatory to the United Nation’s Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961[4] (Convention) which aims to combat drug abuse by coordinating international action which limits the possession, use, trade in, distribution, import, export, manufacture and production of drugs (including cannabis) exclusively to medical and scientific purposes.[5]

Article 28 of the Convention[6] requires (amongst other matters) that a party to the Convention who wishes to permit the cultivation of cannabis (excluding cultivation for industrial purposes) maintain one or more government agencies to oversee the compliance with the Convention and that only cultivators licenced by the agency shall be authorised to engage in cultivation in accordance with their licence conditions.

Likewise, with respect to manufacturing, Article 29 of the Convention requires that the manufacture of drugs containing cannabis be permitted only under Licence issued by the government and that licensed manufacturers of drugs obtain periodical permits specifying the kinds and amounts of drugs which they shall be entitled to manufacture.

2 Narcotic Drugs Amendment Act 2016 (Cth) , Schedule 1 (Definitions).

3 https://www.odc.gov.au/questions-and-answers-medicinal-cannabis-consultation-and-information-sessions

4 As amended by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 and the ‘United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988’ .

5 https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/treaties/single-convention.html

6 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, Article 28 (Control of Cannabis) and Article 23.

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Commonwealth legislation which has regard to the Convention is Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 (ND Act) prescribes that:

“The Health Minister, the Customs Minister, the Secretary or the CEO shall, in exercising any power or performing any function conferred on him or her by this Act, have regard to the obligations of the Commonwealth under the Convention and to no other matter.”

3.4 Australian Regulatory Reform

The Narcotic Drugs Amendment Act 2016 (Cth) (ND Amendment Act) received Royal Assent on 29 February 2016 to allow Australia to develop a safe, legal and sustainable local supply of cannabis for medicinal and scientific purposes.[7] The ND Amendment Act amends the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 (ND Act) to establish:[8]

A licensing and permit schemes for the cultivation and production[9] of cannabis and cannabis resin for medicinal and scientific purposes;[10] and
A licensing and permit scheme for the manufacture of medicinal cannabis products.[11]

Under this framework, the Commonwealth will have overall legislative control of the cultivation of cannabis plants and production of cannabis and cannabis resin and the manufacture of medicinal cannabis products[12] (which reflects the requirements under the Convention), whilst the State and Territory Governments may introduce their own legislation and licensing requirements to cover manufacture, wholesale, supply and patient access to medicinal cannabis products within their respective jurisdictions.

3.5 Licences and Permits

The ODC which is part of the Health Products Regulation Group of the Federal Department of Health, is the agency responsible for the regulation of medicinal cannabis cultivation, production and manufacturing under the ND Act .

From 30 October 2016, the ODC began accepting cannabis licence applications for cultivation, production and manufacturing activities. The information and supporting material requested by the ODC as part of a licence application requires details of the applicant’s security measures, directors and staff probity and suitability, record keeping processes and other matters that allow the ODC to assess the applicant’s capacity to undertake the activities authorised under the licences.

Cann submitted two (2) licence applications, the first a medicinal cannabis licence (cultivation for supply for human medicinal use) and the second a cannabis research licence (cultivation for scientific research purposes).

On 17 February 2017, the Australian Government Department of Health, Office of Drug Control granted Cann (through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cannoperations Pty Ltd) a cannabis research licence for its Southern Facility. In accordance with the present Governmental policy, this licence is valid for a term of 12 months from the date of its granting and, subject to the approval of the Australian Government Department of Health, Office of Drug Control, can be renewed for a further term.

This cannabis research licence authorises the licence holder to undertake the following activities:

The cultivation of cannabis plants, in accordance with one or more cannabis research permits, for the purpose of producing cannabis or cannabis resin for research relating to medicinal cannabis and, if appropriate, the obtaining of cannabis plants for the purpose of such cultivation;
The production of cannabis or cannabis resin for research relating to medicinal cannabis, in accordance with one or more cannabis research permits;
Activities relating to such cultivation, obtaining or production, including but not limited to the following (as applicable):
(i) the packaging, transport, storage, possession and control of cannabis plants, cannabis or cannabis resin; and
(ii) the disposal or destruction of cannabis plants, cannabis or cannabis resin.

In accordance with the present Governmental policy, this licence is valid for a term of 12 months from the date of its granting and, subject to the approval of the Australian Government Department of Health, Office of Drug Control, can be renewed for a further term.

This medicinal cannabis licence authorises the licence holder to undertake the following activities:

The cultivation of cannabis plants, in accordance with one or more medicinal cannabis permits, for the purpose of producing cannabis or cannabis resin for medicinal purposes, and the obtaining of cannabis plants for the purpose of such cultivation;
The production of cannabis or cannabis resin for medicinal purposes, in accordance with one or more medicinal cannabis permits;
Activities relating to such cultivation, obtaining or production, including but not limited to the following (as applicable:
(i) the supply of nominated cannabis or cannabis resin to the Victorian Government; Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources;
(ii) the packaging, transport, storage, possession and control of cannabis plants, cannabis or cannabis resin; and

(iii) the disposal or destruction of cannabis plants, cannabis or cannabis resin.

These two (2) licences have been issued on various conditions including:

Compliance with various statutory conditions set out in the ND Act and the regulations under that Act;
The licence holder must maintain facilities and containment in respect of the cultivation or production authorised by the licence, including the safety, security and surveillance of land and premises;
The licence holder must only obtain seeds, cultivars or other genetic material of the cannabis plant from a lawful source and must notify the Secretary of transaction involving the acquisition of such material;
The licence holder must keep and make available to the Secretary records of activities authorised under this licence, including data collected for internal reporting and tracking, and any audits, reviews or stocktakes;
The licence holder must transport, deliver and dispose of cannabis plants cultivated or obtained, or cannabis or cannabis resin produced, in accordance with the standard operating procedures and security plans lodged by the licence holder to the ODC;
The licence holder must not advertise to the public in relation to cannabis plants, cannabis or cannabis resin, nor make the licenced premises known to the public;
The licence holder must comply with appropriate cannabis cultivation and or production quality standards, if any, as prescribed by the ODC or the TGA;
The licence holder must report and forecast to the ODC actual and estimated cultivation and production of cannabis that, during the period of the licence, the licence holder: cultivates and obtains; maintains for the purposes of propagation; produces and stores; supplies to the holder of a manufacturing licence; supplies for activities related to the cultivation, obtaining or production of cannabis; and/or destroys or disposes of;
The licence holder must report to the Office of Drug Control any security breaches, or unauthorised access to, a cannabis site, including theft, loss, discrepancy or other serious incidents involving cannabis plants, cannabis and cannabis resins;
The licence holder must advise the ODC of any possible changes to the fit and proper person status of a person authorised to engage in activities under this licence, including but not limited to any civil penalties imposed, and/or criminal convictions recorded.

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Once a cannabis licence is issued, the holder of the licence can apply for one or more permits which specifies the amount, type and timing of crops grown under a medicinal cannabis licence or cannabis research licence or the limits on product types and quantities that may be manufactured by a holder of a manufacture licence.

At no stage are licence holders permitted to cultivate speculatively. Cann expects to apply for permits on a regular basis, to meet specific demand generated by research protocols, clinical trial programs, and authorised patients or patient groups.

3.6 Manufacture

The manufacture of cannabis as an active ingredient or final medicinal cannabis product requires approvals from multiple regulators, covering:[13]

A manufacture licence and permit, as issued by the ODC under the ND Act ;
A Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) licence as issued by the Therapeutic Goods Administration; and
All relevant State or Territory approvals applicable to the manufacture of medicinal cannabis products.

3.7 Patient Access

Medicinal cannabis products are therapeutic goods which must be supplied in accordance with the TG Act .

Under the TG Act , medicinal cannabis products could be formally approved by the TGA and included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods[14] . Alternatively, unregistered[15] products may be made available to patients through:

The Special Access Scheme (SAS), which requires TGA approval for each patient prior to the product being supplied to the patient;
The Authorised Prescribers (AP) scheme, where specific doctors are authorised to supply the product to patients in their direct care, without separate TGA approval being required for each patient; and
By researchers under a clinical trial protocol.

Likewise, the States and Territories have a responsibility under their drugs and poisons legislation, in addition to new legislation, to control the supply of medicinal cannabis products to patients as has occurred in several States already (refer to Sections 3.8 and 3.9).

On 22 February 2017, the Federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt MP announced that to address the need for immediate supply while local cultivation in Australia is established, the Federal Department of Health has agreed to allow an importer to seek import approval of medicinal cannabis products before SAS B approvals and AP requests, which will allow for supplies of medicinal cannabis products to be available in a more timely fashion.[16] The import scheme will be in place on an interim basis until such time as licensed, local producers can meet local demand.

3.8 Poisons Standard (SUSMP)

Historically, cannabis and THC was listed in Schedule 9 of the Standard for Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP) contained within the Poisons Standards (Cth) by the TGA.

Scheduled 9 substances are classified as a “Prohibited Substance”, meaning that they may be abused or misused. The manufacture, possession, sale or use of these substances is normally prohibited by law except when required for medical or scientific research, or for analytical, teaching or training purposes with the approval of Commonwealth and/or State or Territory Health Authorities.

On 15 October 2016, a new Schedule 8 came into effect for cannabis when prepared for human therapeutic use and has been cultivated, produced or manufactured in accordance with the ND Act . Schedule 8 Substances are categorised as “Controlled Drugs”, meaning that they may be available for use subject to restrictions as to their manufacture, supply, distribution, possession and use in order to reduce abuse, misuse and physical or psychological dependence.

The TGA explained a key reasoning for the rescheduling as:

“There is an increasing use of cannabis and cannabis extracts (including Tetrahydrocannabinols) in clinical trials in Australia and overseas. The current Schedule 9 status of the substances produces barriers to clinical trials being undertaken across Australia and by creating Schedule 8 entries for these substances their availability for clinical trials is improved, within the restrictions of Schedule 8 substances.”[17]

It should be noted, while the TGA is responsible for updating the SUSMP, it only has legal effect when adopted into the equivalent State and Territory legislation that determine where consumers can buy a particular medicine or poison, and how it is to be packaged and labelled. However, State and Territory Governments classify the vast majority of medicines and poisons in accordance with SUSMP to achieve a uniform national approach to the scheduling of substances and uniform labelling and packaging requirements.[18]

3.9 State Reforms

Victoria

On 12 April 2016, the Victorian Parliament passed the Access to Medicinal Cannabis Act 2016 (Vic Act) which created a legal framework to enable the manufacture, supply and access to safe and high quality medicinal cannabis products in Victoria.[19]

The main purposes of the Vic Act are:

To provide for medicinal use of products derived from cannabis by establishing a scheme:
For supply to and treatment of Victorians with specific conditions with approved medicinal cannabis products of reliable quality and known composition;
Which preserves the prohibition of unlawful trafficking, cultivation, supply and use of the drug of dependence cannabis;
To provide the lawful manufacture of medicinal cannabis products; and
To consequently amend the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 and make related amendments to certain other acts.

The Vic Act requires that manufacturers of medicinal cannabis products in Victoria obtain their source cannabis material only from a holder of a medicinal cannabis licence under the ND Act , or from the Victorian Health Secretary. As stated in Section 3.5, Cann is the first company to have been granted Australia’s first medicinal cannabis licence and Australia’s first cannabis research licence.

On 27 April 2016, the Victorian State Budget was delivered by the Hon Tim Pallas MP Treasurer of the State of Victoria which included a $28.5 million package to support (amongst other activities) the establishment of the “Office of Medicinal Cannabis” which will be responsible for all clinical and manufacturing aspects of the medicinal cannabis framework. The funds are also intended to support research grants that will build the evidence base for medicinal cannabis.[20]

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

New South Wales

On 1 August 2016, the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Amendment (Designated Non-ARTG Products) Regulation 2016 (under the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 ) came into effect.

These regulations allow doctors to apply to NSW Health to seek approval to prescribe certain cannabis-based products that are not on the Australian Registry of Therapeutic Goods (unregistered medicinal cannabis products), in appropriate circumstances[21] .

This reform follows from previous developments in NSW, including the commencement of the Terminal Illness Cannabis Scheme (TICS) in December 2014, which provide guidance to the NSW Police Force to help it determine when not to charge people (or their carers) who use cannabis to alleviate symptoms associated with terminal illnesses; the May 2016 review and renaming of the TICS as the Medicinal Cannabis Compassionate Use Scheme (MCCUS) to extend the TICS to non-terminal patients; and the 27 July 2016 announcement by the NSW State Government of the first Australian medicinal cannabis trials with respect to the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.

Queensland

In December 2015, Queensland became the first state in Australia to permit patient access to unregistered medicinal cannabis products for therapeutic use in Australia through amendments to its Health (Drugs and Poisons) Regulation 1996 (HDPR).[22] These amendments allowed the supply of medicinal cannabis products in clinical trials to individual patients through approval by the TGA and Queensland Health.

In June 2016, the HDPR was expanded in its scope to allow specialist doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis for certain limited classes of patients.

On 12 October 2016, the Queensland Government passed the Public Health (Medicinal Cannabis) Act 2016 (Qld Act) which replaces the temporary measures for providing access to medicinal cannabis products under the HDPR.

The Qld Act provides a legitimate pathway for patients in Queensland of any age and with a range of conditions to access legal medicinal cannabis products.[23] The Qld Act also provides a pathway for doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis to either a single patient or a class of patients.

Western Australia

In Western Australia, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1981 governs the misuse of certain drugs, including cannabis.

The Western Australian Department of Health has advised that the rescheduling of cannabis-based products for medicinal or research purposes as a controlled drug will enable specialist doctors (who have obtained permission from the Department of Health) to prescribe medicinal cannabis products.[24]

Medical specialists may apply to the Medicines and Poisons Regulation Branch of the Department of Health for permission to administer medicinal cannabis products to individual patients (under the Special Access Patient, Category B scheme) or a class of patients (under the Authorised Prescriber Scheme), with supply estimated to commence in early 2017.

3.11 Medical Conditions that may benefit from medicinal cannabis

Whilst the scientific evidence as to the medicinal effects of cannabis is still evolving, there is an increasing use of medicinal cannabis products in treating a wide range of ailments and symptoms including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, nausea, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual syndrome, glaucoma, and autism amongst others.

On 6 October 2015, the Victorian Law Reform Commission (VLRC) tabled their ‘Medicinal Cannabis Report’[25] (VLRC Report) in which the VLRC recommended eligibility for any Victorian medicinal cannabis scheme should be based initially on the following conditions and corresponding symptoms:[26]

Severe muscle spasms or severe pain resulting from multiple sclerosis;
Severe pain arising from cancer, HIV or AIDS;
Severe nausea, severe vomiting or severe wasting resulting from cancer, HIV or AIDS (or the treatment thereof);
Severe seizures resulting from epileptic conditions where other treatment options have not proved effective or have generated side effects that are intolerable for the patient; or
Severe chronic pain where, in the view of two specialist medical practitioners, medicinal cannabis may in all the circumstances provide pain management that is superior to what can be provided by other options.

Notwithstanding the recommendations of the VLRC, it is the role of each State and Territory to determine which conditions will be permitted as “approved conditions”, with patient access also requiring authorisation by the TGA.

3.12 Global markets

The following section provides details of the legislative framework of certain international cannabis markets and, where appropriate and available, supply and revenue data.

It must be noted that the regulatory framework in operation in these international markets may differ significantly to medicinal cannabis reforms operating within Australia and therefore cannot be relied upon to forecast or project potential market growth or size of the medicinal cannabis industry in Australia.

Canada

Canada has undertaken a series of legislative reforms relating to medicinal cannabis,[27] commencing in 2001 with the implementation of the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR). The MMAR allowed physicians to prescribe cannabis to patients with certain medical conditions and for patients to either purchase product from a government approved vendor or purchase seeds from Health Canada to grow their supply at home under regulated conditions.

This approach resulted in inefficiencies and diversion concerns and a major review was undertaken in 2012 and resulted in an overhaul of the regulations for medicinal cannabis leading to the June 2013 implementation of the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) to supersede the MMAR.

The new regulations shifted focus to licensed producers by preventing private cultivation and retail distribution and requiring all patients to purchase dried cannabis directly from licensed suppliers. The MMPR facilitates production of cannabis by commercial producers who must comply with strict safety and quality demands. It also streamlines the application process for patients who require a prescription from a health care practitioner, being a distribution model similar to the one adopted by Australian regulators.

In June 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada held that restricting legal access to only dried cannabis was unconstitutional as it denied patients’ rights to obtain other forms of cannabis of which they may have a medical need (such as oils and tinctures). In response, the Canadian Health Minister issued numerous class exemptions to allow authorised users to possess alternative forms of medicinal cannabis.

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The total number of clients (i.e. patients) registered under the MMPR increased from 75,166 at 30 June 2016 to 98,460 at end 30 September 2016,[28] representing a 30% increase in a quarter.

In February 2016, the Canadian Federal Court found that requiring individuals to obtain cannabis from licenced producers violated liberty and security rights protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as certain individuals did not have ‘reasonable access’.

On 24 August 2016, in response to the Federal Case, the Canadian Government enacted the Access to Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes Regulations (ACMRP) which replaced the MMRP, to serve as an immediate response to the violation identified in the Federal Case.

The ACMRP sets out a framework for commercial production by licenced producers as well as provisions to allow individuals (or their carers) to produce a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical purpose. The ACMRP also sets out several transitional provisions relating mainly to the MMPR activities of licenced producers.

The market for medicinal cannabis in Canada was estimated at CAD$144 million in 2014, rising to CAD$380 million by 2018 and expected to grow by 23% a year to CAD$1.3 billion in the next ten years. Health Canada had predicted that approved patients would grow to more than 400,000 patients and CAD$1.4 billion market in 2024.[29]

According to New Cannabis Ventures, Health Canada data shows that the number of patients enrolled in the program grew 40.1% from the prior quarter to 75,166 in the quarter ending 30 June 2016. This represented growth of 214% from the previous year and an acceleration from the 35.2% sequential growth reported in the prior quarter. The quarter represented the largest single patient addition since the inception of the program in January 2014.

Legislative reforms are expected to continue in Canada in light of the release of the final report of the Canadian task force on cannabis legalization and regulation titled A framework for the legalization and regulation of cannabis in Canada .[30] The task force’s mandate was to consult and provide advice to the Canadian Government on the design of a new legislative and regulatory framework for legal access to cannabis, consistent with the Government’s commitment to “legalize, regulate, and restrict access.”

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

United States

The US is one of the largest markets, but has a disjointed regulatory system. Currently, 28 States and Districts permit medical cannabis use[31] , however, federally the US FDA has yet to approve medical cannabis for use in any capacity, thus leaving cannabis classified as a controlled substance at the Federal level. There is also a lack of consistency in regulations and processes across the States and Districts and this has led to a confusing and conflicting system regarding patient access, product efficacy, dosage rates and delivery mechanisms. Several States including Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Washington D.C., California and Alaska have also legalised recreational cannabis with few restrictions.[32]

In the United States, legal marijuana sales[33] grew from USD$4.6 billion in 2014 to USD$5.7 billion in 2015 (representing a 24% increases) according to New Frontier and ArcView Market Research[34] . The most recent ArcView report projected a further 26% increase between 2015 and 2016, leading to USD$7.1 billion in sales. ArcView expects the legal market to show a compound annual growth rate of nearly 30% over the next few years.[35]

The US market is significant, but has challenges for legitimate medicinal cannabis companies because while some States and Districts have legalised medicinal cannabis, the Federal Government has not. Thus, this is a large and active market, but not yet accessible to companies like Cann.

Europe

Medical cannabis is currently imported (in small quantities) from the Netherlands and used by patients in ten European countries. The largest markets are France, Italy, Netherland and Romania. All medicinal cannabis is accessed through a pharmaceutical distribution system.

However, a key constraint is that production is limited to the Netherland’s Government-owned company, Bedrocan Beheer B.V. (Bedrocan). In 2006–2013, Bedrocan exported more than 100kg of medicinal cannabis mostly to Italy, Finland and Germany. Bedrocan has an annual turnover of €2 million per annum.

More recently, production has commenced in the Czech Republic and limited imports have occurred.

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Israel

Israel is a world leader in the field of medicinal cannabis research with a highly-regulated system. The country’s first and largest production centre is Tikun-Olam, which originally operated on a not-for-profit Governmental regulated model.

With increasing numbers of licensed patients over the years (up from 5 patients in 1998 to 22,000 patients in 2016) and high production costs, it has transitioned towards a for-profit model. Having set up a medical cannabis program on a national scale, Israel has a well-developed and well-regulated cannabis growing sector.

In February 2017, the Israeli government announced that it would implement legislative reform to allow the export of medical cannabis.[37]

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

4.1 Cann Group Business

Cann was incorporated on 30 January 2015 and intends building an Australian business to take advantage of opportunities relating to the emerging medicinal cannabis industry.

On 17 February 2017 Cann was granted cannabis research licence (No. 001/17), being the first cultivation licence granted to a company under the ND Act. On 8 March 2017 Cann was granted Australia’s first medicinal cannabis licence (No. MC001/17) which extends the cultivation activities permitted under the cannabis research licence to medicinal purposes, including the sale of cannabis or cannabis resin to holders of manufacture licences for use in medicinal cannabis products. Presently, Cann is authorised under the medicinal cannabis licence to supply the Victorian Government through AVS.

Cann’s Board and management have extensive experience in the agriculture sector and with developing and commercialising agricultural technology.

Cann has established research and development and cultivation facilities in Australia and has executed certain collaborative agreements (refer to Section 10.11) for the purposes of Cann seeking to establish capabilities and proficiencies in plant genetics; breeding; cultivation; extraction; analysis and production techniques to facilitate the supply of medicinal cannabis for a range of diseases and medical conditions.

Cann’s vision is to be a leading developer and supplier of cannabis, cannabis resin and medicinal cannabis products into the Australian market, and to supply overseas markets as and when those opportunities become available.

Cann intends to source Elite Cannabis Genetics to support its breeding programs and leverage its agricultural technology expertise to develop scalable, cost-effective cultivation and extraction capabilities. As a consequence, Cann intends to seek to supply specifically formulated medicinal cannabinoid oil, of consistent quality, for a range of patient conditions that can benefit from medicinal cannabis. At present, and until Cann obtains its own manufacture licence and related permit and all other necessary approvals, Cann will engage, and will require the services of, Agriculture Victoria Services Pty Ltd, acting as agent for the State of Victoria through its Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (AVS), in respect of any such supply.

Cann has developed relationships with several specialist organisations with which it intends to collaborate with on various aspects of its business plan. These collaborations cover areas including plant genetics and breeding; cultivation programs; extraction and analysis technology; and the clinical evaluation of cannabinoid oils, as summarised below:

Cann has executed three Technical Services Agreements (TSA’s) with AVS. These agreements are intended to provide Cann with access to technical advice, AVS proprietary cannabis strains for medical use only and extraction technology;
Cann has executed a research agreement with CSIRO, under which CSIRO as key research provider will collaborate with Cann to develop unique cannabis extracts, possibly based on novel extraction processes;
Cann has executed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian based Anandia Laboratories, Inc. Anandia’s Dr Jonathan Page is the first scientist to have sequenced the cannabis genome and make fundamental discoveries about THC biosynthesis. Cann has agreed that it will work with Anandia in principle on breeding programs intended to create next-generation cannabis strains optimized to address grower and patient challenges; and
Cann has executed a sub-lease for its Northern Facility which incorporates administration, research and development and cultivation facilities. This expansion is intended to also facilitate access to additional technical resources to support Cann’s development and production activities.

Cann believes that these arrangements will or are likely to add significant value to the Company’s development programs and business plan.

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

Through its investment in Australian based research and development, cultivation and manufacturing facilities – and via its strategic relationships with organisations that can bring additional expertise and opportunities – Cann intends (subject to securing the necessary authorities) to seek to breed and grow cannabis varieties that will yield cannabinoid oils which are suitable to be incorporated in medicinal cannabis products for the specific treatment of a range of diseases and medical conditions.

Cann will seek opportunities to collaborate with and supply a variety of third parties involved in the clinical evaluation of medicinal cannabis and, subject to the regulatory approval of those treatments, seek to manufacture product for the broader patient population, subject to Cann obtaining the necessary manufacture licence and related permits and all other necessary approvals.

Cann’s key strategic objectives, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and satisfaction of all applicable regulatory requirements, include seeking to do the following:

Obtaining, growing and (where commercially and/or medicinally beneficial) cross-breeding of cannabis varieties within controlled indoor conditions;
Expanding its existing controlled cultivation capabilities in Australia;
Establishing an extraction facility in Australia for the extraction of medicinal cannabinoid oil from suitable cannabis varieties;
Delivering operational and logistical support to the secure cultivation rooms and the extraction facility for the cultivation of cannabis plants and the processing of cannabis and extraction of cannabinoid oil for the purposes of developing medicinal cannabis products;
Develop strategic alliances with medical practitioners who specialise in the treatment of conditions which may be treated with medicinal cannabis products which have been manufactured from cannabis that is cultivated by Cann;
Investing in research and development and technology to produce high yielding and high quality cannabis products; and
Managing the implementation of the Cann business plan in a phased approach subject to the current and anticipated future regulatory regime and long-term growth potential.

4.2 Cann Group Building Blocks to Revenue

The Company aims to develop or establish a market advantage and, where applicable, proprietary intellectual property in each of the following areas of activity.

Building Block 1 – The raw product and plant breeding program

Cannabis is known to have considerable genetic variations which provide the potential to meet a range of markets and quality specifications and also provide the opportunity through research and development in plant breeding to seek to improve performance of current or known varieties.

Cann’s objectives are to seek to develop and apply scientific methods to identify cannabis varieties which demonstrate characteristics suitable for cultivation for medicinal purposes including potential for Cann to breed its own new proprietary varieties with desirable genetic traits that are suitable for the requirements and specifications of products that may be manufactured by Cann or for supply to third party licensed manufacturers in the form of raw plant matter or cannabinoid oil.

Cann has adopted established scientific methods in respect to the sourcing, testing and growing of cannabis. Cann intends to source suitable varieties of cannabis from local and international genetic suppliers. The ability to source varieties will be subject to both export laws internationally and quarantine, import and customs laws in Australia.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 51

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

Building Block 2 – Secure R&D Compound

Cann has designed and built a secure research and development compound at its Southern Facility that allows cultivation methods to be trialled, optimised and applied within a secure and environmentally controlled space (R&D Compound).

Cann’s initial research and development focus under its Authority for Low THC Cannabis is on plant-environment interaction and optimising the cropping cycle, while seeking to ensure consistent production. Understanding the influence of growing conditions on the cannabinoid profile of a plant is a key focus of the program.

Under the cannabis research licence, Cann intends to investigate extraction and analysis processes as new technologies will have an impact on how product is handled and prepared for specific patient conditions.

The R&D Compound incorporates a propagation and nursery area which is used to cultivate the plant stock that is used for scientific research, and seven (7) individual grow chambers which provide stable growing conditions in which the scientific research pertaining to the cultivation of cannabis is conducted.

==> picture [474 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

Through a series of ongoing experiments conducted within the R&D Compound, Cann is seeking to develop and apply leading technologies for the purpose of characterising and accelerating the cultivation time and increase cultivation yield. Assuming positive results are achieved, Cann intends to apply these findings to larger scale commercial cultivation, such as cultivation undertaken within the Secure Cultivation Rooms (described below) or in other controlled and secure cultivation facilities.

Building Block 3 – Secure Cultivation Rooms and Technology

Cann has designed and built indoor cultivation rooms at its Southern Facility which are fully fitted out with the requisite lighting, irrigation, climate control and other equipment to grow cannabis for medicinal and research related purposes (Secure Cultivation Rooms).

The Secure Cultivation Rooms incorporate a closed loop system in which the environmental conditions can be adjusted to suit the specific requirements of each cannabis variety being cultivated. The Secure Cultivation Rooms are designed to consistently hold optimal environmental conditions (irrespective of external seasonal conditions) to allow multiple harvests per year and optimise crop yield.

==> picture [475 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

To date, the Secure Cultivation Rooms have been used to extend the research capabilities of Cann, conducted under its Authority for Low-THC Cannabis . Cann will now use these rooms to extend its research for therapeutic purposes under its cannabis research licence and for the commercial cultivation of cannabis plants and the production of cannabis and cannabis resin under its medicinal cannabis licence (as detailed below in Building Block 4).

Cann has commissioned plant tracking software that provides full traceability of plants and plant products. Together with Secure Cultivation Rooms, Cann believes this technology is an important component of obtaining and maintaining relevant regulatory approvals.

Building Block 4 – Cultivation licences and commercialisation

Cann has obtained the necessary licence, namely the medicinal cannabis licence, to undertake the cultivation of cannabis plants for the supply of cannabis or cannabis resin for medicinal purposes, subject to Cann obtaining one or more necessary related medicinal cannabis permits.

It is Cann’s intention to apply for a variation to both the cannabis research licence and medicinal cannabis licence (which presently licence Cann’s Southern Facility) to also include Cann’s Northern Facility as a licenced premises.

Cultivation or production cannot commence until a medicinal cannabis permit or cannabis research permit is applied for and approved.

A medicinal cannabis permit application must specify, amongst other matters, the types, strains, quantity and cannabinoid profile of cannabis plants proposed to be cultivated[38] and copies of all relevant contracts in place between the licenced cultivator and the holder of a manufacture licence.[39] A cannabis research permit must specify types, strains, quantity and cannabinoid profile of cannabis plants proposed to be cultivated[40] and details of the research that is being undertaken.[41]

Cannabis cultivated by Cann under its medicinal cannabis licence and associated medicinal cannabis permit(s) will be supplied on commercial terms.

In the future, Cann will seek to have the option of supplying material to approved formulators who are holders of manufacturing licences and the necessary permits, or, subject to Cann obtaining its own manufacture licences and related permit(s) under the ND Act and all other necessary approvals,[42] may produce medicinal cannabis products itself for clinical trial programs or authorised patients in Australia.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 53

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

The key to income generation will be the ultimate link to the patient. In the initial phase of the establishment of the Australian medicinal cannabis market, Cann’s primary focus will be to seek to provide key researchers and licensed manufacturers with products administered under clinical trials that are reliable, reproducible and chemically analysed. It is intended that Cann’s research program will seek to underpin the Company’s capability to provide a value added and differentiated service. Seeking a link between the evidence based clinical program data and the specific plant chemotypes will be key in capturing and retaining market share in the Australian market.

Whilst Cann anticipates there will be an early demand for basic medicinal cannabis products with broad CBD/THC specifications for the purpose of under the Authorised Prescriber (AP) or Special Access Scheme (SAS) pathway, Cann intends to also develop higher value products with differentiated cannabinoid profiles targeting specific conditions.

Building Block 5 – Manufacturing and Oil extraction

Cann intends to collaborate with well-regarded research institutions and/or commercial entities to seek to investigate the optimal methods and equipment for cannabinoid oil extraction. Cann’s objective is to endeavour to maximise the cannabinoid oil production from suitable cannabis varieties and seek to reduce the cost of production in a manner that economically delivers a consistent quality and quantity of medicinal cannabinoid oil with scientifically defined properties.

Cann intends to apply for manufacture licence and related permit under the ND Act and manufacturing approvals under the applicable Victorian State legislation and all other necessary approvals during 2017 in respect of manufacturing activities intended to be conducted at its Northern Facility.[43] Until such time that these are applied for and granted, Cann will engage Agriculture Services Victoria Pty Ltd or AVS (acting as agent for the State of Victoria) to provide Cann extraction and manufacturing services under the terms of a technical services agreement executed on 13 February 2017 (as described in Section 10.11.4). AVS is the holder of manufacture licence under the ND Act which allows AVS to apply for one or more manufacture permits to enable AVS to provide extraction services to Cann.

Subject to Cann obtaining a manufacture licence (and related permits) under the ND Act and satisfying all necessary TGA and other applicable regulatory requirements, it may in due course either seek to manufacture medicinal cannabis products (which will or is likely to include medicinal cannabinoid oil) itself or through contractual arrangements with a suitable third party or parties.

Building Block 6 – The distribution model

The recent Federal and State legislative medicinal cannabis reforms manage and regulate the dispensation of medicinal cannabis products for use by patients.

This model is driven by a combination of patient demand generated by the medical profession and the outcomes of clinical trials coupled by a future pathway to exports, which at present are not permitted due to current Federal Governmental policy predicated on the successful roll out of the existing Australian legislative framework.

Under this distribution model, medicinal cannabis products could be approved for sale to and by pharmacists. Cann will seek to supply cannabis to licensed manufacturers who distribute their products through this pharmacy distribution model. In due course, Cann may also develop (or licence) and manufacture its own medicinal cannabis products for distribution, subject to Cann obtaining its own manufacture licence and related permits and all other necessary approvals.

4.3 Cann Group Facilities

Cann intends to seek to implement the activities described above in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 across various facilities in a three-phased approach as described below, subject to availability of funds.

43 https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/public-health/drugs-and-poisons/medicinal-cannabis. Noting that, as of the date of this Prospectus application forms for Victorian manufacturing licences are not yet available. The Victorian Department of Health advises that more information on Victorian manufacturing licence processes will be available in 2017.

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

Phase 1 – Southern Facility

Cann began initial research cultivation activities at its Southern Facility in September 2015.

The Southern Facility is a highly-secured indoor cultivation facility which houses the Secure R&D Compound and the Secure Cultivation Rooms as referred to under the heading Building Block 2 in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

The indoor nature of the Southern Facility satisfied the requirements of the Office of Drug Control (ODC) with respect to the cultivation of both low-THC and high-THC cannabis varieties. Accordingly, the medicinal cannabis licence and cannabis research licence issued to Cann with respect to the Southern Facility does not include any restriction on the THC concentration of cannabis plants that may be cultivated at the Southern Facility.

It is Cann’s intention to increase the cultivation capacity of the Southern Facility by utilising unused within this facility. These costs have been accounted for in the Company’s intended use of funds.

Phase 2 – Northern Facility

To complement the cultivation capacity of the Southern Facility, Cann has executed a sub-lease for its Northern Facility, commencing 1 April 2017. Until then, Cann presently has occupancy rights in respect of certain parts of the Northern Facility under an Occupancy Agreement dated 1 December 2016, which commenced on that date and ends on 31 March 2017.

The Northern Facility features state of the art Physical Containment Level 2 (PC2) certified greenhouse cultivation areas and adjoining laboratory/research facilities. The cultivation areas are climate controlled, automated and configured as a series of individual cultivation compartments, thus allowing the separation of different cannabis varieties during cultivation and harvest.

Cann intends to develop the Northern Facility after conducting a scoping study which will seek to identify cultivation improvements through capital investment. Both the scoping study and the resulting capital works have been accounted for within the intended use of funds.

The Northern Facility will allow Cann to expand its cultivation capacity beyond those of its Southern Facility and take advantage of the natural sunlight of a glasshouse facility to reduce operating costs.

The Northern Facility incorporates laboratory spaces which are suitable for extraction and manufacturing of medicinal cannabis products, subject to the purchase of additional equipment and the obtaining of all relevant certifications including specifically, GMP certification.

The costs involved in upgrading of the laboratory spaces into an extraction and manufacturing area have been accounted for in the intended use of funds. These upgrades will allow Cann to apply for a manufacture licence in accordance with the Narcotic Drugs Act to allow Cann to manufacture medicinal cannabis products for supply to Australian patients in accordance with the requirements of the Therapeutic Goods Act and the laws of the various States and Territories relating to patient access.

Phase 3 – Proposed Facility

Cann intends to construct a purpose-built cultivation and manufacturing facility incorporating state of the art equipment and facilities to meet the long-term supply requirements of the Australian medicinal industry, and overseas markets if and when exports are permitted.

An in-depth scoping study will be conducted to identify a suitable location and build requirements. This scoping study will be conducted in the near future and has been accounted for in the Company’s intended use of funds.

Encompassing intellectual property and experience gained from the operation of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 facilities, it is the aim of this Proposed Facility to increase efficiency and capacity of the Company’s operations through the adaptation of best practice cultivation and manufacturing systems.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 55

4.4 What are the Key Factors to Cann’s Long Term Success?

Cann intends to focus on the development and exploitation of intellectual property to optimise cultivation systems, cannabinoid oil extraction and the supply of medicinal cannabinoid oil with a specific chemical composition and consistent quality, initially in Australia. Cann’s success is dependent on the proper execution of the various objectives within its Business Plan, including seeking to:

Secure Australian and overseas sourced cannabis varieties and endeavouring to develop a plant breeding plan to underpin the competitive advantage relating to plant genetics, and also seeking to protect them under Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR) or other appropriate proprietary protection. These varieties can then be sought to be licensed to producers, locally and possibly, in the future subject to changes in Governmental policy, overseas, subject to complying with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements. This strategy will take time to implement and commercially exploit but, if it proves to be successful, it is expected to enhance the prospects and value of Cann;
Secure appropriate licences and related permits under the new Commonwealth legislation for the cultivation of cannabis plants and the production of cannabis and cannabis resin, utilising its existing Secure Cultivation Room assets to produce 4 to 6 harvests per annum (depending upon cannabis variety);
Secure a manufacture licence (and related permits and all other necessary approvals) to permit the manufacture of medicinal cannabis products in Cann’s own right or through contractual arrangements with a suitable third party or parties who hold a manufacture licence (and related permits and all other necessary approvals);
Conduct an ongoing review and refinement of the operational aspects of Cann’s high security multi-camera facility where each cannabis plant is barcoded and tagged for traceability;
Assess the different cannabinoid oil compositions and qualities generated from several cannabis varieties in a manner that can then be formulated to the specific requirements for use by other manufacturers of medicinal cannabis products for patient use, subject to satisfying all necessary TGA and other applicable regulatory requirements; and
Execute collaborative arrangements with various research institutions and other organisations for the purpose of Cann seeking to establish a leading position in plant genetics, breeding, cultivation, extraction, analysis and production techniques to facilitate the supply of medicinal cannabis for a range of diseases and medical conditions.

In summary, the following trends lend support to the increasing opportunities in the Australian medicinal cannabis industry:

Legalisation by the Commonwealth Parliament of cultivation of cannabis plants, production of cannabis and cannabis resin and manufacture of medicinal cannabis products in Australia;
Legislation of medicinal cannabis products by several State Governments by creating a legal framework to enable the manufacture, supply and access to safe and high quality medicinal cannabis products in those States;
Legalisation in Canada which allows reasonable access to cannabis for medical purposes for Canadians who have been authorised to use cannabis by their health care practitioner;
Growing recognition and acceptance of certain claimed benefits of medicinal cannabis for a range of diseases and certain other medical conditions;
Growing interest from investors and investment funds in the medicinal cannabis sector, both locally and overseas; and
Potential for companies to differentiate themselves through intellectual property rights, quality, traceability, marketing and branding.

4. THE CANN GROUP BUSINESS

4.5 The Cann Group Structure

The structure of the Cann Group is comprised of Cann as holding company with four wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, each of which carries out a specific role. The legislative requirements imposed upon the medicinal cannabis industry are prescriptive regarding licences and permits and the Cann Group is structured accordingly, to meet these requirements.

5. RISK FACTORS

This Section 5 describes some of the potential risks associated with Cann’s business and the industry in which it operates, and the risks associated with an investment in the New Shares in general. It does not purport to list every risk that may be associated with Cann’s business or the industry in which it operates, or an investment in the New Shares now or in the future, and the occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described in this Section are partially or completely outside the control of Cann, its Directors and the senior management team.

The selection of risks included in this Section has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or other risks will not emerge. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments not specifically referred to, may affect the value of your investment in the future. The below factors, and others not specifically referred to, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. Accordingly, it is important that you read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary.

Before applying for New Shares, you should satisfy yourself that you have sufficient understanding of these matters and should consider if the New Shares are a suitable investment for you, having regard to your own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

If you do not understand any part of this Prospectus or are in any doubt as to whether to accept the Offer, it is recommended that you seek professional guidance from your independent and qualified professional adviser before deciding to accept the Offer. An investment in Cann is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. If any of the following risks occur, Cann, the business, financial condition, results of operations, outcomes and prospects for growth may suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

5.1 Specific Risks

There is a range of specific risks associated with Cann’s operations, both existing and proposed. Potential investors should note the following risks prior to investing. The Group’s operations (both existing and proposed), performance and future profitability can be affected by these factors, several which are beyond the control of Cann and which will impact the viability, financial performance and prospects of Cann.

5.1.1 Establishment and Implementation of New Legislative Regime

The amendments to the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 in relation to medicinal cannabis only came into full effect in Australia on 30 October 2016 (Commencement Date).

In mid-October, prior to the Commencement Date, the ODC (which oversees the regulation of the medicinal cannabis regulatory scheme) drafted and released both the Regulations and a series of guidelines which together explain how the reforms will operate, including details of how to apply for licences and permits.

Although quite prescriptive, there remains some uncertainty as to the review methodology and the interpretation of the new laws and regulations that the ODC will adopt and the specific considerations that the ODC will consider when reviewing licence and permit applications and how these considerations will be applied in the conditions which attach to licences and permits.

It is expected that the ODC will conduct a review of the medicinal cannabis regulatory processes sometime after the initial licences and permits have been issued, which may result in amendments to the new regulations or its processes.

5.1.2 Obtaining Licences and Permits

The activities proposed under Cann’s business model require the necessary licences and permits as issued by the ODC under the Narcotic Drugs Act .

Cann has been granted two (2) licences pertaining to cultivation activities at its Southern Facility, the first being a medicinal cannabis licence, which authorises the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medicinal purposes: and the second a cannabis research licence which authorises the cultivation and/or production of cannabis for research related medicinal purposes.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 59

5. RISK FACTORS

Both licences require Cann to apply for and obtain a permit prior to the commencement of cultivation. There is no assurance or guarantee that these permits will be granted, or granted on terms desirous to or expected by Cann and accordingly, if Cann does not receive all such permits on terms desirous to or expected by Cann, this will or is likely to have an adverse effect on Cann’s existing and proposed activities and operations, financial performance and prospects.

Further, these two licences are granted for a period of one year each, consistent with the ODC’s current policy. There is no assurance or guarantee that these two licences will be renewed, or renewed on terms desirous to or expected by Cann and accordingly, if Cann does not receive all such licence renewals on terms desirous to or expected by Cann, this will or is likely to have an adverse effect on Cann’s existing and proposed activities and operations, financial performance and prospects.

If Cann fails to comply with the conditions of these two licences granted or any other licence or permit that may be granted, they may be cancelled or revoked. If this occurs, Cann will be unable to continue to establish and conduct its business.

Investors should be aware that Cann cannot guarantee that any requisite approvals, licences or permits will be obtained or renewed for Cann to carry out all its objectives. A failure to obtain or have renewed any such approvals, licences or permits will or is likely to result in Cann being unable to continue to establish and conduct its business or may be prevented or limited or restricted either in part or absolutely.

5.1.3 Outcomes of Clinical Trials

Various State and Territory Governments are conducting select clinical trials in relation to medicinal cannabis. Numerous other clinical trials are also expected to be conducted in relation to medicinal cannabis and related products. Further, under the new legislative regime, medicinal cannabis products will need to be approved by the relevant Federal and State Governmental bodies, which in the ordinary course will necessitate appropriate quality, safety and efficacy documentation as part of that process.

The outcome of any approved or recognised clinical trials cannot be predicted with certainty. Any adverse findings from any approved or recognised clinical trials (including any findings which are a health risk or insufficient to clinically support the case for the therapeutic effects of medicinal cannabis or related products or which clinically support the treatment for only very limited diseases or symptoms, as to be determined by the relevant authorities) is likely to or may have an adverse effect on Cann’s existing and proposed activities and operations, financial performance and prospects and/or the industry generally.

5.1.4 Start-up Risk

Potential investors should be aware that investing in a start-up enterprise and industry, such as Cann, should be considered highly speculative and involves several significant risks including under capitalisation and obstacles or delays in the implementation of the business plan or revenue generation coupled with existing and future legislative and regulatory risks (refer Section 7.6).

The Company can make no representation that any of its research and development will be successful, that its internal development milestones will be achieved, or that products will be developed that are commercially exploitable.

There are many risks inherent in the development of biotechnology products particularly where the products are in the early stages of development. Projects can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit, or research may cease to be viable for a range of scientific and commercial reasons.

5.1.5 Risk as to Profitability

Anticipated or expected sales may not be achieved, and even if achieved, may not result in the Company being profitable. The ability of the Company to pay dividends will depend on Cann generating revenue and then deriving sufficient after-tax profits to be able to do so.

Some of Cann’s competitors and potential competitors may have significantly more financial resources and marketing experience than Cann which may lead to reduced margins and loss of revenues or loss of market share. Further, revenues in the future may be reduced as the industry consolidates and seeks revenue accretion at the expense of profit margin.

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1.6 Cannabis Cultivation Systems

There are numerous risks associated with the construction and use of the Secure Cultivation Rooms (and other cultivation facilities) to cultivate medicinal cannabis including plant diseases, capacity to source suitable cannabis varieties either domestically or from overseas, underestimating the costs and time to complete, the impact of local or foreign legislation and regulations and related changes, weather, underestimating the lighting/heating requirements and costs of installation, human error in the execution of the start-up engineering and construction, equipment failure, supplier delays and underestimating breakages and consumables, all of which are, where able, mitigated by project management and external professional advice.

Any adverse outcomes in respect of these matters will or may adversely affect Cann’s proposed activities and operations, financial performance and prospects.

5.1.7 Counterparty Risk

Cann has executed and expects in the normal course of business to execute several commercial agreements and arrangements in the future with third parties that are or may be material to the financial performance and prospects of the business. There is a risk that the counterparties may not either execute these agreements or meet their obligations under those agreements and arrangements. Negative commercial consequences are likely to flow from the non-execution of these agreements and any non-observance of commercial obligations including the inability of Cann to execute its business plan.

The non-execution of or a breach of any of these agreements may result in a negative impact on the financial performance and prospects of Cann, and in certain cases, may prevent Cann from achieving its objectives set out in this Prospectus.

All agreements carry risks associated with the performance by the parties to them of their obligations as to payment of moneys, time and quality of work performed and potential revenue pressure on Cann through the non-observance or renegotiation of agreements.

5.1.8 Fit and Proper Persons

Given that Cann’s business involves cultivating and handling a prohibited plant and producing a narcotic based product, as you would expect, its activities and the persons involved in the business are highly regulated.

Cannoperations Pty Ltd (Cannoperations) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cann and is, technically, the holder of Cann’s medicinal cannabis licence and cannabis research licence. Any changes in the shareholding or directorship of Cannoperations needs to be notified to and approved by the ODC. The ODC will assess whether the new shareholder or director satisfies the fit and proper person test for the purposes of the ND Act . In the event that such a change occurs and the ODC determines that such a change does not satisfy the fit and proper person test, then these licences (and any permits granted) will or are likely to be revoked. Cann will then be unable to carry on its business. Similarly, any application for a new licence (for example, a manufacture licence) or a new permit) will or is likely to be rejected.

Further, if there is any change in the Board or the shareholding of Cann and such change results in a person or persons or a company being a business associate of Cannoperations (for example, Cann as the holding company will or is likely to be regarded as a business associate of Cannoperations) and is in a position to influence the management or operations of Cannoperations and does not satisfy the fit and proper person test, then these licences (and any permits granted) will or are likely to be revoked. Cann will then be unable to carry on its business. Similarly, any application for a new licence (for example, a manufacture licence) or a new permit will or is likely to be rejected.

As Cann is a public company and is seeking to be admitted to the official list of ASX, the Board cannot control or prevent the transfer of shares in Cann or the election of a person or persons as new directors of Cann.

For example, an entity may make a takeover bid for Cann, which could result in the acquirer being in a position to influence the management or operations of Cann. Further, under the Corporations Act, Cann may be exposed to a “Board spill” resolution, where Cann is required to have elections of its directors, because of a shareholder requisition or persons are nominated for election at a general meeting, and this results in new directors being elected, who are then in turn in a position to influence the management or operations of Cann.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 61

5. RISK FACTORS

In these circumstances, for example, should the entity which makes the takeover bid be successful and/or new directors are elected and are subsequently in a position to influence the management or operations of Cann and the ODC determines that those persons are not fit and proper persons, then these licences (and any permits granted) will or are likely to be revoked. Cann will then be unable to carry on its business. Similarly, any application to renew or for a new licence (for example, a manufacture licence) or to renew or for a new permit will or is likely to be rejected.

Whilst this is a risk, in practical terms, one would reasonably expect a reasonable and diligent prospective acquirer or prospective nominees for election as directors to first consult with the ODC and/or seek professional advice so as to ensure they will be able to satisfy the “fit and proper person” test, otherwise their actions may similarly cause themselves damage and loss and consequently, be self-defeating.

5.1.9 Technology and Innovation Risks

Cann’s intended business activities include the need to be abreast of innovation and new growing techniques which can assist in both risk mitigation and cost reductions. Failure to invest in both innovation and new technology may significantly impact on the capacity of Cann to generate revenues or adequate revenues and compromise its existing market competitiveness.

5.1.10 Change in Government Risk

Federal and State/Territory Government initiatives and support for initial medicinal cannabis trials is critical.

The new Commonwealth legislative framework for medicinal cannabis has only been recently introduced and is required to be implemented by the relevant Governmental authorities. Further, the various States and Territories are expected to enact their own complimentary laws over time for managing and regulating the dispensation of approved medicinal cannabis products to patients within their respective jurisdictions, as commenced in Victoria with the passing of the Medicinal Cannabis Bill 2015 on 12 April 2016. Government policy relating to the development and operation of the medicinal cannabis industry and the future supply of medicinal cannabis products to patients in Australia will continue to evolve.

Any adverse change in any Government policy or legislation or regulations will or is likely to adversely impact on the proposed business plans of Cann and its financial performance and prospects.

5.1.11 Environmental and Regulatory Risks

While Cann intends to comply with applicable environmental and planning regulations, there are risks inherent in its activities which could subject Cann to extensive liability as well the potential revocation of the permits, approvals and licences required to conduct Cann’s business.

Under the relevant laws already enacted, and further to be enacted, Cann is required to obtain approvals, licences and permits from the relevant regulatory authorities from time to time including with respect to the importation of cannabis varieties, which may not be forthcoming or which may not be able to be obtained or maintained on acceptable terms.

Investors should be aware that Cann cannot guarantee that any requisite approvals, licences or permits will be obtained for Cann to carry out all its objectives. A failure to obtain any such approvals, licences or permits or the non-enactment of the relevant laws necessary for Cann to carry out all its objectives would mean that the ability of Cann to continue to establish and conduct its business may be prevented or limited or restricted either in part or absolutely.

Any production and supply of medicinal cannabis products will need to comply with all applicable laws and satisfy all the requirements of the applicable regulatory requirements.

5.1.12 Key Personnel and Management Risk

Cann relies on a few key employees, consultants and contractors. There is a risk that Cann may fail to attract, retain or develop key employees, consultants and contractors and this would have a negative effect upon the development of Cann and its operations. While Cann intends to put in place appropriate agreements with all its key employees and contractors which provide appropriate financial incentives to remain with Cann and help it to perform well, there can be no guarantee that those key employees and contractors will remain with Cann.

5. RISK FACTORS

Cann’s retention of existing licences (or ability to obtain a new licence or new permits) and financial performance and prospects are also dependant on Cann retaining existing key personnel already approved by the ODC or being able to replace such personnel with personnel that will be approved by the ODC.

Cann’s future revenue growth will also be dependent upon the retention and engagement of management personnel capable of managing and expanding operations beyond the present relationships.

5.1.13 Additional Financing Requirements Risk

Cann expects that the proceeds of the Offer will provide sufficient capital resources to enable the Company to achieve its initial business objectives. However, Cann can give no assurances that such objectives will in fact be met without additional future borrowings or further capital raisings and if such borrowings or capital raisings are required, that they can be obtained on terms favourable to the Company.

Any additional equity capital raisings to fund Cann will dilute the ownership of the existing Shareholders and holders of the New Shares, assuming they do not participate in any subsequent capital raising. Any debt financing may involve restrictions and other covenants typical of such financing.

5.1.14 Competition Risk

Some of Cann’s competitors and potential competitors may have significantly more financial resources. Cann is likely to need to obtain and maintain certain commercial advantages over its competitors to remain competitive, which may require significant financial resources. Whilst the Board and Management believe Cann currently has competitive advantages in respect to its supplier/collaborator relationships, these advantages may erode given the rapidly developing and evolving nature of the sector, changes in primary supplier and customer relationships and the need for additional capital to meet the market opportunities and demands.

There can be no assurance that Cann will have sufficient resources to support its product development and approval/ registration, marketing, sales, legal and customer relations efforts on a competitive basis, or that it will be able to make the technological advances necessary to remain competitive within the industry.

5.1.15 Agriculture/Growing Risk and Oil Yield

Subject to compliance with all applicable laws and satisfying all applicable regulatory requirements, the growing of cannabis plants to produce medicinal cannabis using the Secure Cultivation Room model is inherently reliant on a controlled environment supported by known growing precedents of cannabis varieties. Any interruption to the controlled environment including power failures, lighting failures, lack of water, breach of security protocols, pests or plant diseases or the introduction of new cannabis varieties with uncertain or unknown in-door growing history may materially impact on both the grow time and therefore the number of harvests or the cannabinoid oil yield generated from each harvest.

5.1.16 Product Approval Risk

Medicinal cannabis products are regulated as medicines in Australia. Generally, medicines imported into, supplied in, and exported from Australia must be entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is administered by the TGA. However, there are other mechanisms such as the TGA Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Authorised Prescriber (AP) schemes which provide alternative supply pathways while evidence to support registration through clinical trials is obtained.[44]

The Company cannot guarantee that any or all its medicinal cannabis products will be approved for supply to patients through SAS or AP, or as part of a clinical trial or approved for entry on the ARTG.

Non-approval or non-registration by the TGA will mean that the products cannot be sold in Australia which will or is likely to impact upon the revenue generation and financial performance and prospects of the Company.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 63

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1.17 Product Liability and uninsured risks

Through its intended business, the Company is exposed to potential product liability risks which are inherent in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing and use of its products or products developed with future co-development alliance partners. It will be necessary to secure insurance to help manage such risks. The Company may not be able to maintain insurance for product or service liability on reasonable terms in the future and, in addition, the Company’s insurance may not be sufficient to cover large claims, or the insurer could disclaim coverage on claims.

Although the Company endeavours to work to rigorous standards there is still the potential for the products to contain defects which may result in system failures. These defects or problems could result in the loss of or delay in generating revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, and damage to the Company’s reputation or increased insurance costs.

If the Company fails to meet its clients’ expectations, the Company’s reputation could suffer and it could be liable for damages. Further, the Company is exposed to the risk of catastrophic loss to necessary laboratory equipment, computer equipment or other facilities which would have a serious impact on the Company’s operations. The Company gives no assurance that all such risks will be adequately managed through its insurance policies to ensure that catastrophic loss does not have an adverse effect on its performance.

5.1.18 Damage to product and business reputation by association

There is a risk that some incident beyond the control of Cann could occur which would have the effect of reducing patient, medical/scientific or regulatory confidence or preferences for cannabis or medicinal cannabis products generally or Cann’s products specifically. Such incidents could include:

The occurrence of a serious health or product risk incident involving a product or clinical trial of a competitor of Cann or another industry participant;
Negative medical or scientific report or negative media and press in respect of cannabis or medicinal cannabis products of a competitor of Cann or another industry participant resulting in a widespread loss of patient, medical/ scientific or regulatory authority confidence in cannabis or medicinal cannabis products; and
A material breach of any laws or regulations by a competitor of Cann or another industry participant or any material adverse finding or determination of any inquiry or investigations by any regulatory authority involving a competitor of Cann or another industry participant.

The consequences of such an incident could be very significant for Cann, with adverse impacts potentially including reduced revenues and financial performance and prospects.

5.2 General Risks

In addition to the specific risks outlined above, factors such as government legislation, inflation, interest rates, taxation law, accounting standards, sudden and sharp changes to global economic conditions, natural disasters, social upheaval, war and terrorism may have an impact on prices, operating costs and market conditions generally.

5.2.1 Government Legislation

Australian and International Government legislation and regulations are subject to review and change from time to time. Any such change is beyond the control of Cann and could affect both industry and the revenue generation, financial performance and prospects of Cann.

Revenues and operating costs of Cann may be affected by change in international, federal, state, or local government laws, regulations or policies, or in taxation legislation. Cann may also be subject to certain environmental regulations. There is no assurance or guarantee that Cann will be able to be able to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, any changes in laws or regulations impacting the industry may result in significant increases in compliance costs which may impact the viability or financial performance or prospects of Cann.

5. RISK FACTORS

5.2.2 Economic Factors

Cann’s performance will depend significantly on local demand and local and global economic conditions including sudden and sharp changes to global economic conditions, inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption. Changes in these conditions may impact Cann’s business and profitability. Cann cannot predict the impact of future economic conditions on its business which may impact the viability and prospects of Cann’s business.

5.2.3 Price of Shares

Some of the factors which may affect the value of the New Shares include fluctuations in the local and international stock markets, the size of the Company’s market capitalisation, movements in interest rates, general economic and political and policy conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, consumer sentiment, commodity and cannabinoid oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies and settings, changes in legislation and regulations and related policies, the nature of the markets in which Cann operates, general operations and business risks and changes investor and consumer sentiment.

5.2.4 Trading and Liquidity of Shares

There can be no guarantee that there will be a market for New Shares. There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of the New Shares at any given time. This may reduce the market price of the New Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders can sell their New Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price that Shareholders paid for their New Shares under the Offer.

5.2.5 Fiscal Risks

These involve the imposition of additional taxes, imposts and other charges by Governments from time to time relating to revenue or cash flow. Industry profitability can be affected by changes in tax policies and laws, and the interpretation and application of such policies and laws which may impact the viability, financial performance and prospects of Cann.

5.2.6 Political and Other Factors

Political and other risk factors may include changes in levels of consumer confidence that affect consumption patterns and consequently demand for a wide range of products which may impact the viability, financial performance and prospects of Cann.

5.2.7 Litigation

Cann seeks to reduce the incidence and financial impact of any claims by seeking to comply with the requirements of all relevant laws and regulations, by holding insurance cover for large claims, and by the appropriate documentation of its dealings with third parties and processes.

Neither Cann nor the Cann Group is presently involved in any litigation and the Directors are not aware of any impending material litigation.

5.2.8 Technology Risks

The inability to respond to technological changes in a timely manner may have an adverse impact on the revenues, financial performance and prospects of Cann.

5.2.9 Software Defects

There exists the potential for Cann’s proprietary software and other software used by Cann to be defective which could result in serious interruptions to its business activities, damage to its reputation and breaches of contracts with third parties.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 65

5. RISK FACTORS

5.2.10 Intellectual Property

Cann will seek to rely on its intellectual property rights including copyright and trademarks and securing licensing of the necessary third party intellectual property rights. If Cann loses any existing intellectual property rights or is unable to secure such future rights or licensing, Cann’s business could be adversely affected.

5.2.11 Force Majeure Events

Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon the global or Australian economies or legislative framework, the operations of Cann and the value of its Shares. These events include acts of terrorism, organised crime, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other natural or man-made events or occurrences that can have an adverse impact on the demand for Cann’s products and services and its ability to conduct its business.

7.2 Basis of Preparation and Presentation of Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information.

The Financial Information included in this Prospectus is intended to present potential investors with information to assist them in understanding the historical financial performance and cashflows of Cann for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 and the financial position of Cann as at 31 December 2016.

The pro-forma historical financial information has been derived from the 31 December 2016 audited accounts of the Company after adjusting for the effects of any subsequent events described in Section 7.3 and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 7.3.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), which is consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all of the presentation, disclosures, statements and comparative information as required by AAS applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act .

The significant accounting policies of Cann relevant to the Historical Financial Information are set out in Section 7.6. Accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the periods presented.

The Historical Financial Information for part-FY2015, FY2016 and HY2017 for Cann has been derived from the 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016 financial statements which have been audited by William Buck Audit (VIC) Pty Ltd. In respect of each of the financial reports William Buck issued an unqualified opinion. However in respect of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and the half year ended 31 December 2016 William Buck has drawn attention to a material uncertainty in respect of going concern (further details are set out in Section 7.6).

The information in Section 7 should also be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in Section 5 and the other information contained in this Prospectus.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been prepared for inclusion in this Prospectus. The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 and adjusted for the effects of subsequent events and the pro-forma adjustments described in Section 7.3 of the Prospectus, to reflect Cann’s capital structure, which will be in place following Completion of the Offer as set out in the Key Offer Information Section.

Refer to Section 7.3 for a reconciliation between Cann’s historical consolidated statement of financial position and the pro-forma historical consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016.

Prospective investors should note that past results do not guarantee future performance.

Due to its nature, the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position.

7.6 Going Concern

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Historically the Company has generated losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

Based on the current cash position and the historical operating cash outflows of the Company, the Company is reliant on additional capital being raised.

Notwithstanding the circumstances above the Directors are confident that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern given the Company has entered into the Existing Options Underwriting Agreement as described in Section 10.11.2 which will enable it to raise $2,023,000.

Should the Company be unable to raise further funds there would be a significant uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the Financial Information.

The Financial Information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

7. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

7.7 Notes to the Financial Information Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of accounting

The financial information is based upon financial statements that are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative announcements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement of fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

(b) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after considering any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed and is stated net of goods and services tax or value-added tax charges.

Revenue from credits received from the Australian Taxation Office for research and development activities is recognised when it can be reliably measured and the probability of meeting the criteria for receipt of these credits is probable.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised at the point of delivery of those services as they are earned under contractual agreement.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(d) Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed based on the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of plant and equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 83

7. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s asset classes had effective useful lives as follows:

==> picture [474 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Useful Life
Asset Class (years)
----- End of picture text -----

Secure cultivation room facilities and infrastructure	7
Computer, network and security equipment	1 to 3
Tools and workshop equipment	1 to 2
Leasehold improvements	2
Office furniture and equipment	1 to 3

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(e) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group’s directors review the carrying values of the group’s tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(f) Income Tax

For tax purposes Cann has been treated as a company with an effective tax rate of 30%.

(g) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

(h) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

7. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(n) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the entity.

Key Judgement – determination of probability of achieving milestones for vesting of Performance Rights

In determining the probability of the Group achieving each of the respective milestones for the Class B Performance Rights, which would permit vesting of the Performance Rights, the Directors considered all developments of the Group since the granting of the Performance Rights including operational, business and legal progress to 30 June 2016 and progress towards an Initial Public Offering scheduled for the first half of the 2017 Financial Year. It was determined as at 30 June 2016 that the Group had a seventy-five percent (75%) likelihood of achieving the milestone that would result in the vesting of the Class B Performance Rights.

This percentage was applied to the fair value of each class of the Class B Performance Rights at grant date thereby resulting in the valuation of each class of Performance Rights as at 30 June 2016. The milestones for vesting of the Performance Rights are contained in Section 10.3.

Key Judgement – non-recognition of carry-forward tax losses

The balance of future income tax benefit arising from current year tax losses and timing differences has not been recognised as an asset because recovery is not regarded as probable. The future income tax benefit, which has not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
No changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the Company realising the benefit.

Key Judgement – non-recognition of research and development tax incentive benefits

The balance of research and development tax incentive arising from operations of the Company has not been recognised as an asset because receipt as at this stage as it cannot be reliably calculated. The research and development tax incentive, which has not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

The Company’s activities fulfil the eligibility criteria of the research and development tax initiative and it is successful in registering for the research and development tax initiative;
The Company continues to comply with the conditions for registration of the research and development tax initiative imposed by law; and
No changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the Company realising the tax incentive from research and development.

Roles and Responsibilities

The Board Charter provides a detailed explanation of the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and individual Directors.

9. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Identify all potential or actual conflicts of interest that may arise in relation to conducting business activities by Cann and its Directors, employees and representatives;
Assess and evaluate any identified conflicts of interest to determine whether a conflict of interest is manageable or whether it must be avoided;
Control and deal with any potential or actual conflict of interest; and
Adequately disclose conflicts of interest to the Board.

The Securities Trading Policy sets out restrictions and processes on buying and selling Cann securities including Shares, Options, derivatives, managed investment products and other financial products covered by s1042A of the Corporations Act that can be traded on the financial market.

The Securities Trading Policy prohibits Directors, officers and key management personnel of the Company from dealing in Shares during specified “Prohibited Periods”, unless permitted under “Exceptional Circumstances”. These “Prohibited Periods” are currently defined as any of the following periods:

From the Company’s year end until the business day after the release of the full year results;
From the Company’s half-year end until the business day after the release of the half yearly results; and
Any additional periods imposed by the Board from time to time, such as when the Company is considering matters which are subject to Listing Rule 3.1A.

The Securities Trading Policy also sets out the restrictions imposed on any employees of the Company (including their family members and associates) in dealing in the Shares, when in possession of “inside information”, being information relating to the Company which is not generally available but, if the information were generally available, would be likely to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares.

If it does not have a nomination committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs to address board succession issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the entity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.

The Board regularly updates the Company’s board skills matrix (in accordance with recommendation 2.2) to assess the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the entity.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1 Rights attaching to Shares (including New Shares)

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

10.1.1 General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

10.1.2 Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

Each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
On a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
On a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

10.1.3 Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any Shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the Corporations Act , the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

10.1.4 Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

CANN GROUP LIMITED PROSPECTUS 113

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1.5 Shareholder liability

As the New Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

Generally, the Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act.

Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act , the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and voting at the general meeting.

3. Key Dates

The Key Dates on page 4 of the Prospectus remain the same. These dates and the other dates referred to throughout the Prospectus (except the date of the Prospectus and the Supplementary Prospectus and the date of their lodgement with ASIC) are indicative only and are subject to change at the discretion of the Directors in agreement with the Lead Managers (in accordance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules).

4. Cann Group Business

The last paragraph on page 51 of the Prospectus is replaced with the following:

4.1 Cann Group Business

Cann’s objectives, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and satisfaction of all applicable regulatory requirements, include seeking to do the following:

Obtaining, growing and (where commercially and/or medicinally beneficial) cross-breeding of cannabis varieties within controlled indoor conditions;
Expanding its existing controlled cultivation capabilities in Australia;
Establishing an extraction facility in Australia for the extraction of medicinal cannabinoid oil from suitable cannabis varieties;
Delivering operational and logistical support to the secure cultivation rooms and the extraction facility for the cultivation of cannabis plants and the processing of cannabis and extraction of cannabinoid oil for the purposes of developing medicinal cannabis products;
Develop strategic alliances with medical practitioners who specialise in the treatment of conditions which may be treated with medicinal cannabis products which have been manufactured from cannabis that is cultivated by Cann;
Investing in research and development and technology to produce high yielding and high quality cannabis products; and
Managing the implementation of the Cann business plan in a phased approach subject to the current and anticipated future regulatory regime and long-term growth potential.

Cann believes it will have sufficient funds to achieve all the activities pursuant to the ‘Use of Funds’ set out in Section 2.4, and consistent with the Building Blocks as set out below in Section 4.2.

Section 4.2 of the Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following new Section 4.2:

4.2 Cann Group Building Blocks to Revenue

The Company aims to develop or establish a market advantage and, where applicable, proprietary intellectual property in each of the following areas of activity. The Building Blocks set out the current business strategy to build a sustainable business model with material barriers to entry and competitive advantages. The model, which incorporates the objectives set out in Section 4.1, will continue to evolve including the need for additional capacity to keep pace with anticipated increasing levels of demand as the Australian medicinal cannabis market develops, through the accumulation of clinical data and evidence based treatments that may identify safe and effective new options for Australian patients and new applications for medicinal cannabis.

Cann believes the expenditures set out in the Use of Funds table contained in Section 2.4 will be sufficient to establish and conduct the activities within the Building Blocks set out below over the next two (2) years in keeping with the Company’s key strategic objectives.

Should the business strategy evolve through legislative changes, or as a result of a faster than anticipated increase in demand for medicinal cannabis and medicinal cannabis products, or as a result of a significant breakthrough or findings in certain areas of research and development, Cann may need to or choose to reinvest profits and/or raise further funds to extend and/or accommodate changes to activities undertaken within the Building Blocks and/or (where considered commercially prudent) accelerate the execution of certain activities within the Building Blocks.

Building Block 1 – The raw product and plant breeding program

Cannabis is known to have considerable genetic variation which provides the potential to meet a range of markets and quality specifications and also provide the opportunity through research and development in plant breeding to seek to improve performance of current or known varieties.

Cann’s objectives are to seek to develop and apply scientific methodologies to identify cannabis varieties which demonstrate characteristics suitable for cultivation for medicinal purposes including potential for Cann to breed its own new proprietary varieties with desirable genetic traits that are suitable for the requirements and specifications of products that may be manufactured by Cann or for supply to third party licensed manufacturers in the form of raw plant matter or cannabinoid oil.

Cann has adopted established scientific methods in respect to the sourcing, testing and growing of cannabis. Cann intends to source suitable varieties of cannabis from local and international genetic suppliers. The ability to source international varieties will be subject to both international export laws and Australian quarantine, import and customs laws.

Cann anticipates participation and investment in plant breeding programs will be an ongoing function of its operations which has been accounted for under the ‘Use of Funds’ table set out in Section 2.4. Cann may choose to accelerate or expand the scale and/or scope of its proposed plant breeding program subject to the raising of additional funds.

CANN GROUP LIMITED SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS 3

Building Block 2 – Secure R&D Compound

Cann has designed and built a secure research and development compound at its Southern Facility that enables cultivation methods to be trialled, optimised and applied to cultivation under secure and environmentally controlled conditions (R&D Compound).

Cann’s initial research and development focus under its Authority for Low THC Cannabis was on plant-environment interaction and optimising the cropping cycle, while seeking to ensure consistent production. Understanding the influence of growing conditions on the cannabinoid profile of a plant is a key focus of the ongoing program.

The R&D Compound incorporates a propagation and nursery area which is used to cultivate the plant stock that is used for scientific research. The R&D Compound has seven (7) individual grow chambers which provide stable growing conditions in which the scientific research pertaining to the cultivation of cannabis is conducted.

==> picture [474 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

Through a series of ongoing experiments conducted within the R&D Compound, Cann is seeking to develop and apply leading technologies to characterise varieties, accelerate the cultivation cycle, and increase plant yield. Assuming positive results are achieved, Cann intends to apply these findings to larger scale commercial cultivation facilities, such as the secure cultivation rooms described below or in other controlled and secure cultivation facilities.

Cann believes its existing R&D Compound capability together with R&D expenditure as set out in the ‘Use of Funds’ in Section 2.4 will be sufficient to undertake the Company’s business objectives relating to research and development. This contemplates a progressive scale up of such activities over the next two (2) years. Dependent upon the extent of the scale up and/or the results of research and development programs, Cann may seek to raise further funds to accelerate or further investigate specific areas of research and development.

Building Block 3 – Secure Cultivation Rooms

The Secure Cultivation Rooms incorporate a closed loop system in which the environmental conditions can be adjusted to suit the specific requirements of each cannabis variety which is being cultivated. The Secure Cultivation Rooms are designed to consistently hold optimal environmental conditions (irrespective of external seasonal conditions), enable multiple harvests per year and optimise crop yield.

==> picture [475 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

To date, the Secure Cultivation Rooms have been used to extend the research capabilities of Cann, conducted under its Authority for Low-THC Cannabis. Cann will now use the Secure Cultivation Rooms to extend its research for therapeutic purposes under its cannabis research licence and for the commercial cultivation of cannabis plants and the production of cannabis and cannabis resin under its medicinal cannabis licence (as further set out in Building Block 4 below).

Cann believes it will have sufficient capacity to meet its anticipated requirements for the cultivation of cannabis for medicinal and research purposes over the next two (2) years based on the cultivation capacity of the existing Secure Cultivation Rooms and the allocated budget for additional Secure Cultivation Rooms (as set out in the ‘Use of Funds’ table in Section 2.4) together with the additional cultivation capacity provided at the Phase 2 – Northern Facility (as described in Section 4.3). However, Cann may seek to raise additional funds should it choose to further extend its cultivation capacity to allow for additional or accelerated research projects or to increase cultivation capacity for medicinal purposes in the event the demand for medicinal cannabis and medicinal cannabis products increases faster than anticipated.

Cann has commissioned “seed-to-sale” plant tracking software that provides full traceability of plants and plant products. Together with Secure Cultivation Rooms, Cann believes this technology is an important component of obtaining and maintaining relevant regulatory approvals.

Building Block 4 – Cultivation licences and commercialisation

It is Cann’s intention to apply for a variation to both the cannabis research licence and the medicinal cannabis licence (which presently licence Cann’s Southern Facility) to also include Cann’s Northern Facility as licenced premises.

Cultivation or production cannot commence until a medicinal cannabis permit or cannabis research permit is applied for and approved.

Cannabis cultivated by Cann under its medicinal cannabis licence and associated medicinal cannabis permit(s) (when obtained) will be supplied on commercial terms.

38 Narcotic Drugs Regulations 2016 (Cth) , section 8(3). 39 Narcotic Drugs Regulations 2016 (Cth) , section 9.

40 Narcotic Drugs Regulations 2016 (Cth) , section 15(3).

41 Narcotic Drugs Regulations 2016 (Cth) , sections 17(1) and 17(2).

CANN GROUP LIMITED SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS 5

In the future, Cann will also investigate the possibility of supplying material to approved formulators who are holders of manufacturing licences and the necessary permits, or, subject to Cann obtaining its own manufacture licences and related permit(s) under the ND Act and all other necessary approvals,[42] Cann may produce medicinal cannabis products itself for clinical trial programs or an approved patient or patient group in Australia.

The key to income generation will be the ultimate link to the patient. In the initial phase of the establishment of the Australian medicinal cannabis market, Cann’s primary focus will be to seek to provide key researchers and licensed manufacturers with products administered under clinical trials that are reliable, reproducible and chemically analysed. The cost of these products has been budgeted for within the ‘Use of Funds’ set out in Section 2.4. It is intended that Cann’s research program will seek to underpin the Company’s capability to provide a value added and differentiated service. Seeking a link between the evidence based clinical program data and the specific plant chemotypes will be important in seeking to capture and retain market share in the Australian market (and in due course developing a viable export market (subject to law)).

Whilst Cann anticipates there will be an early demand for basic medicinal cannabis with broad CBD/THC specifications pursuant to the Authorised Prescriber (AP) or Special Access Scheme (SAS) pathway, Cann intends to also develop higher value products with differentiated cannabinoid profiles targeting specific conditions.

Cann has sufficient funds to undertake investment into new products over the next two (2) years, but as the product development program will be an ongoing function of Cann’s operations, Cann may require further funding should it seek to expand or accelerate this program in the medium to long term, or should the results of one or more clinical trial prompt further investigation into the treatment of a specific condition (particularly trials which demonstrate a positive response in a test patient group and a reasonable likelihood of successful commercialisation for supply to a broader patient cohort).

Building Block 5 – Manufacturing and Oil extraction

Cann intends to apply for manufacture licence and related permit under the ND Act and manufacturing approvals under the applicable Victorian State legislation and all other necessary approvals during 2017 in respect of manufacturing activities intended to be conducted at its Northern Facility.[43] Until such time that these licence and permit applications are made and granted, Cann will engage Agriculture Services Victoria Pty Ltd (AVS) (acting as agent for the State of Victoria) to provide Cann extraction and manufacturing services under the terms of a technical services agreement executed on 13 February 2017 (as described in Section 10.11.4). AVS is the holder of manufacture licence under the ND Act which allows AVS to apply for one or more manufacture permits to enable AVS to provide extraction services to Cann.

Subject to Cann obtaining a manufacture licence (and related permits) under the ND Act and satisfying all necessary TGA and other applicable regulatory requirements, Cann may in due course either seek to manufacture medicinal cannabis products (which will or is likely to include medicinal cannabinoid oil) itself or through contractual arrangements with a suitable third party or parties.

Should Cann apply for and receive a manufacture licence, Cann has sufficient funds to manufacture its own medicinal cannabis products for distribution over the next two (2) years based on expected demand (including regulatory costs and the costs of purchasing and operating manufacturing equipment). The development of new or improved manufacturing processes which is an ongoing function of Cann’s operations, coupled with expected increased demand, means it may be commercially prudent for Cann to raise additional funds to allow for the implementation of improved and/or expanded manufacturing activities in the medium to long term.

42 Including a Good Manufacturing Practice licence issued by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, and a ‘Manufacturing Licence; issued under the Access to Medicinal Cannabis Act 2016 (VIC) . 43 https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/public-health/drugs-and-poisons/medicinal-cannabis. Noting that, as of the date of this Prospectus application forms for Victorian manufacturing licences are not yet available. The Victorian Department of Health advises that more information on Victorian manufacturing licence processes will be available in 2017.

Building Block 6 – The distribution model

The recent Federal and State legislative medicinal cannabis reforms manage and regulate the dispensation of medicinal cannabis products for use by patients.

Under the existing legislative framework, medicinal cannabis products could be approved for sale to and by pharmacists. Cann will seek to supply cannabis to licensed manufacturers who distribute their products through this pharmacy distribution model. In due course, Cann may also develop (or licence) and manufacture its own medicinal cannabis products for distribution, subject to Cann obtaining its own manufacture licence and related permits and all other necessary approvals.

As set out in Building Block 5, should Cann apply for and receive a manufacture licence, Cann has sufficient funds to manufacture and distribute its own medicinal cannabis products over the next two (2) years based on expected demand. New product development and the distribution of those new products will be an ongoing function of Cann’s operations and have been budgeted for within the ‘Use of Funds’ set out in Section 2.4. Should demand for medicinal cannabis products increase, it may be commercially prudent for Cann to raise additional funds to broaden its product offering pathways to market in the medium to long term.

5. Additional Financing Requirement Risk

Section 5.1.13 of the Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following new Section 5.1.13

5.1.13 Additional Financing Requirements Risk

Cann expects that the proceeds of the Offer will provide sufficient capital resources to achieve Cann’s objectives (as set out in Section 4.1) through the implementation of the Building Blocks (as set out in Section 4.2 of this Supplementary Prospectus).

Should Cann elect to accelerate or expand the scope of the Building Blocks (as set out in Section 4.2 of this Supplementary Prospectus) it will be required to access additional funds beyond those contemplated within the Use of Funds (as set out in Section 2.4) which may involve borrowings or additional equity capital raising. Any additional funds obtained through equity capital raisings may dilute the ownership of the existing Shareholders and holders of the New Shares, should they elect not to participate in a subsequent capital raising. Any debt financing may involve restrictions and other covenants typical of such financing.

6. Directors Interests

9. Investigating Accountants Report

The Investigating Accountants Report on page 91 of the Prospectus is replaced with the Investigating Accountants Report below.

12 April 2017 The Directors Cann Group Ltd C/- Salmon Giles Level 2, 409 St Kilda Road Melbourne 3004

Dear Directors INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON FINANCIAL INFORMATION Introduction

The directors of Cann Group Limited (‘ Cann Group’ or ‘ Company ’) have requested PKF Melbourne Audit & Assurance Pty Ltd (‘ PKF ’) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report (‘ Report ’) for inclusion in the Prospectus to be dated on or about 28 March 2017 and Supplementary Prospectus dated 12 April 2017 relating to the issue of 45 million ordinary shares at $0.30 each to raise $13.5 million (the ‘ Offer ’). Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this report, unless otherwise specified.

Scope

You have requested PKF to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the Financial Information included in Section 7 of the Prospectus (‘ Financial Information ’).

Financial Information

The Financial Information comprises:

(a) the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information derived from: � the audited Historical Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income of Cann Group for the period 30 January to 30 June 2015, the year ended 30 June 2016 and the half-year ended 31 December 2016;
� the audited Historical Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of Cann Group for the period 30 January to 30 June 2015, the year ended 30 June 2016 and the half-year ended 31 December 2016;
the audited Historical Consolidated Statements of Financial Position of Cann Group as at 30 June 2015; 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016;
the impact of any significant transactions relating to Cann Group since 31 December 2016; and
� the impact of selected pro forma adjustments (‘ Pro Forma Adjustments ’) and the assumptions on which they are based as described in Section 7 of the Prospectus, including relevant notes to the Financial Information; and
(b) the key accounting policies of the Company relevant to the Financial Information.

CANN GROUP LIMITED SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS

The 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016 financial statements of Cann Group have been audited by William Buck Audit (VIC) Pty Ltd. In respect of each of the audited financial statements, William Buck Audit (VIC) Pty Ltd issued an unqualified opinion. In respect of the 30 June 2015 and the 31 December 2016 financial statements the audit report contained an emphasis of matter in respect of going concern.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 .

However the Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements, and the significant accounting policies summarised in Section 7.7 of the Prospectus.

The stated basis of preparation of the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the event(s) and/or transaction(s) to which the Pro Forma Adjustments relate, as described in Section 7 of the Prospectus, as if the event(s) or transaction(s) had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial performance and position.

Directors’ Responsibility

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial information and included in the Financial Information.

This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .

A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

Review of Financial Information

PKF has conducted a review of the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information included in Section 7 of the Prospectus in order to state whether on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the Financial Information is not presented fairly in accordance with the Pro Forma Adjustments and recognition and measurement requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards in Australia and the accounting policies adopted by the Company as referred to in Section 7 of the Prospectus.

Our procedures included such inquiries and procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstances and consisted primarily of:

enquiry of and discussions with Company Directors, management, personnel and advisors;
review of the auditor’s working papers and records in respect of the Historical Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and the Historical Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of Cann Group for the period 30 January to 30 June 2015, the year ended 30 June 2016, and the half-year ended 31 December 2016, and the Historical Consolidated Statements of Financial Position of Cann Group as at 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016;
review of relevant documents and information of the Company in support of the Pro Forma Adjustments;
consideration of the reasonableness and appropriateness of the subsequent events and Pro Forma Adjustments as a basis for compiling the Financial Information; and
performing analytical procedures applied to the Financial Information.

Subsequent Events

Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report and elsewhere in the Prospectus, and having regard to the scope of our engagement, nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that matters arising after 31 December 2016, other than matters dealt with in this Report, would require comment on, or adjustments to, the Financial Information contained in Section 7 of the Prospectus, or would cause that information to be misleading or deceptive.

Conclusions

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Financial Information of Cann Group as described in Section 7 of the Prospectus is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation as described in Section 7.7 of the Prospectus.

Prospective investors should be aware of the material risks and uncertainties in relation to an investment in the Company, which are detailed in the Prospectus. Accordingly, prospective investors should have regard to the investment risks as described in Section 5 of the Prospectus. We express no opinion as to the future financial performance of the Company.

We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report, or on the Historical Financial Information to which it relates, for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared. We have assumed, and relied on representations from certain members of management of the Company, that all material information concerning the prospects and proposed operations of Cann Group have been disclosed to us and that the information provided to us for the purpose of our work is true, complete and accurate in all respects. We have no reason to believe that those representations are false.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Section 7.6 in the Prospectus which indicates the Company has generated losses and net cash outflows from operating activities and is reliant on its ability to raise sufficient capital to fund its operations and have sufficient funds to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

This statement indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Restrictions on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 7 of the Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

This Report relates only to the Financial Information and does not extend to any other financial information included in the Prospectus.

Consent

PKF has consented to the inclusion of this Independent Limited Assurance Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it is included.

Liability

The liability of PKF is limited to the inclusion of this report in the Prospectus. PKF makes no representation regarding, and has no liability, for any other statements or other material in, or omission from the Prospectus.

Independence and Disclosure of Interest

PKF does not have any pecuniary interests that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting its ability to give an unbiased conclusion in this matter. PKF will receive a professional fee for the preparation of this Independent Limited Assurance Report and participation in due diligence procedures.

Yours faithfully

PKF Melbourne Audit & Assurance Pty Ltd
