1. Provide a general overview and discussion of the development of the Issuer's business and operations over the previous month. Where the Issuer was inactive disclose this fact.

  • On June 7, 2021, the Issuer announced that Focus Medical Herbs Ltd. ("Focus Medical") entered into a three-year supply agreement (the "Flowr Agreement") with The Flowr Corporation ("Flowr") on June 4, 2021. Flowr is a Canadian licensed producer of ultra-premium adult-use recreational and medical cannabis products. Pursuant to the Flowr Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory and import requirements, Focus Medical will import Flowr's ultra-premium cannabis strains into Israel.

  • On June 17, 2021, the Issuer unveiled proprietary data from a clinical survey evaluating medicinal cannabis therapy. The clinical survey, conducted by Medicanl Ltd., an independent, international clinical research organization that specializes in cannabis research and commissioned by the Issuer, reported the high effectiveness of seven IMC-branded medical cannabis strains in treating and alleviating symptoms of seven key health conditions in a clinical group of Israeli participants.

The clinical survey included 652 participants and covered the following conditions: neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, oncology, insomnia, back pain, inflammatory bowel diseases and PTSD. The goal was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the IMC-branded strains, including Roma, Ela, DQ, London, Pandora's Box, Paris and Tel Aviv (collectively, the "IMC Strains") on patients and their medical conditions using United States Food and Drug Administration-validated questionnaires.

The key findings were as follows:

  • 81 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients reported improved symptoms;

  • at least 60 and 58 percent of neuropathic pain and back pain patients, respectively, reported improved symptoms;

  • at least 42 percent of PTSD patients reported an improvement in their PTSD scale, which is measured by PCL-5, a validated questionnaire for quantifying PTSD symptom severity;

  • 38 percent of insomnia patients reported improved sleep quality based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index;

  • 60 percent of oncology patients reported an improvement in overall health, as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change scale;

  • all IMC Strains improved sleep quality and increased patients' sense of calm, happiness and libido; and

  • no adverse events were reported with respect to using IMC Strains.

The survey data will be used to help patients and doctors in medical markets all over the world customize cannabis-based therapies to best treat their diagnoses.

  • On June 28, 2021, the Issuer announced that Glass, Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis") and Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") had each recommended that shareholders of MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. ("MYM") vote in favour of the Issuer's proposed acquisition of MYM (the "MYM Acquisition").

17. Discuss any trends which are likely to impact the Issuer including trends in the Issuer's market(s) or political/regulatory trends.

The current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of COVID-19, the rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic and local and international developments related thereto and its effect on the broader global economy and capital markets may impact the Issuer's business in the coming months.

The Issuer has taken proactive measures to protect the health and safety of its employees in order to continue delivering high quality medical cannabis products to its patients and to maintain its financial health. The Issuer has postponed planned investments in certain jurisdictions until global economic risks subside, but it continues to focus on its acquisition strategy in Canada and Europe. The Issuer also continues to develop the IMC brand by increasing physician awareness and engagement to drive sales of IMC-branded medical cannabis products in Germany and by seeking new supply and sales agreements in Israel.

While the precise impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Issuer remains unknown, the rapid spread of COVID-19 and declaration of the outbreak as a global pandemic have resulted in travel advisories and restrictions, certain restrictions on business operations, social distancing precautions and restrictions on group gatherings which could have negative impact on businesses around the world, including the cannabis markets in which the Issuer and its subsidiaries and related companies operate. Such implications may also affect Trichome's debtors, including their respective abilities to repay their obligations. The spread of COVID-19 may also have a material adverse effect on global economic activity and could result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains and the financial and capital markets. These disruptions could cause interruptions in supplies and other services from third parties upon which the Issuer relies; decrease demand for products; and cause staff shortages, reduced customer traffic, and increased government regulation, all of which may materially and negatively impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer, its subsidiaries and Focus Medical.


The undersigned hereby certifies that:

1. The undersigned is a director and/or senior officer of the Issuer and has been duly authorized by a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer to sign this Certificate of Compliance.

2. As of the date hereof there were no material information concerning the Issuer which has not been publicly disclosed.

3. The undersigned hereby certifies to the Exchange that the Issuer is in compliance with the requirements of applicable securities legislation (as such term is defined in National Instrument 14-101) and all Exchange Requirements (as defined in CNSX Policy 1).

4. All of the information in this Form 7 Monthly Progress Report is true.
