MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
 
(As at September 14, 2018, except as otherwise indicated)

Invictus MD Strategies Corp. (the "Company") is providing this Management Information Circular (the "Circular") and a form of proxy in connection with management’s solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") to be held at 10th Floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia at 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on Thursday, October 18, 2018 and at any adjournment(s). The Company will conduct its solicitation by mail and officers and employees of the Company may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact. The Company will pay the cost of solicitation.

All dollar amounts referenced herein are expressed in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder’s behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or Directors of the Company (the "Management Proxyholders").

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a Shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Common shares of the Company ("Shares") represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted for or against or withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

If a Shareholder does not specify a choice and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, P.O. Box 4572, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his or her discretion to accept proxies received subsequently. A Shareholder may also vote by proxy using the telephone or internet by following the instructions provided in the accompanying form of proxy.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders of the Company or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders are holders of Shares of the Company whose names appear on the share register of the Company and are not held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased Shares. Whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting, Shareholders are requested to vote their proxy in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. Most Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders ("Non-Registered Shareholders") because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. The Company’s Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of their Shares of the Company (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited or The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners: those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called "OBOs" for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object (called "NOBOs" for Non- Objecting Beneficial Owners).

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials directly to NOBOs in connection with the Meeting but rather has distributed copies of the Meeting materials to the Intermediaries for distribution to NOBOs. With respect to OBOs, in accordance with applicable securities law requirements, the Company has distributed copies of the Meeting materials to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to OBOs. The Company intends to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting materials will either:

(a)

be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a "voting instruction form") which the Intermediary must follow; or

   
(b)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company, c/o Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of their Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert their own name or such other person’s name in the blank space provided. Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive Meeting materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting materials and to vote which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.


3

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials to Shareholders using "notice-and-access" as defined under NI 54- 101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder, their attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy.

ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS

Every year, as required by laws governing public companies, the Company delivers documentation to shareholders. In order to make this process more convenient, Shareholders may choose to be notified by email when the Company’s documentation, including the Meeting materials, are posted on the Company’s website www.invictus-md.com. and, accordingly, such documentation will not be sent in paper form by mail other than as required by applicable laws.

Delivery in an electronic format, rather than paper, reduces costs to the Company and benefits the environment. Shareholders who do not consent to receive documentation through email notification will continue to receive such documentation by mail or otherwise, in accordance with securities laws.

By consenting to electronic delivery, Shareholders: (i) agree to receive all documents to which they are entitled electronically, rather than by mail; and (ii) understand that access to the Internet is required to receive a document electronically and certain system requirements must be installed (currently Adobe Acrobat Reader to view Adobe’s portable document format ("PDF")). Such documents may include the interim consolidated financial reports, the annual report (including audited annual consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A")), the notice of annual and/or special meeting and related management information circular and materials, and other corporate information about the Company.

At any time, the Company may elect to not send a document electronically, or a document may not be available electronically. In either case, a paper copy will be mailed to Shareholders.

Registered Shareholders can consent to electronic delivery by completing and returning the form of consent included with the form of proxy. Non-registered Shareholders can consent to electronic delivery by completing and returning the appropriate form received from the applicable intermediary.

Shareholders are not required to consent to electronic delivery. The Company will notify consenting Shareholders at the email address provided by the Shareholder on the form of proxy when the documents that the Shareholder is entitled to receive are posted on the Company’s website, with a link to the specific pages of the website containing the PDF document.

Manning Elliott LLP, Chartered Accountants were first appointed as the Company’s auditor on December 19, 2014. As in past years, it is proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the auditors shall be determined by the Board.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for the reappointment of Manning Elliott LLP, Chartered Accountants as auditors of the Company to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of the Company, at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors of the Company.

Advance Notice Policy

The Company has adopted an advance notice policy (the "Advance Notice Policy"). The Advance Notice Policy provides that any Shareholder seeking to nominate a candidate for election as a director (a "Nominating Shareholder") at any annual meeting of the Shareholders, or for any special meeting of Shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors. For a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Company.

To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder's notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company must be made (a) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty-five (65) days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than fifty (50) days after the date (the "Notice Date") on which the first public announcement (as defined below) of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the later of the Notice Date; and (b) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement (as defined below) of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

The time periods for the giving of a Nominating Shareholder's notice set forth above shall in all cases be determined based on the original date of the applicable annual meeting and/or special meeting of shareholders, and in no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders, or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting of shareholders, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a Nominating Shareholder's notice as described above.

The chair of the Meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in the Advance Notice Policy and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such provisions, the discretion to declare that such defective nomination will be disregarded.

The Advance Notice Policy also prescribes the proper written form for a Nominating Shareholder’s notice. The Advance Notice Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.invictus-md.com.

Other than the Option Plan, Invictus does not have any stock option plan, stock option agreement made outside of a stock option plan, plan providing for the grant of stock appreciation rights, deferred share units or restricted stock units or any other incentive plan or portion of a plan under which awards are granted.

Pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, the Company is required to adopt a stock option plan prior to granting incentive stock options. At the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on June 26, 2017, shareholders adopted the Option Plan and all unallocated options, rights or other entitlements issuable thereunder.

For a description of the material terms of the Option Plan, please see "Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon – Invictus Stock Option Plan".

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

The following is a description of the material terms of each agreement or arrangement under which compensation was provided during the year ended January 31, 2018 or is payable in respect of services provided to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that were performed by a director or NEO.

The Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with High Standard Capital Corp. (formerly Slocan Strategies Inc.) ("High Standard"), a private Company 100% owned by Dan Kriznic effective April 1, 2017 with regards to his engagement as the CEO of the Company (the "High Standard Agreement"). The High Standard Agreement can be cancelled at anytime with sixty (60) days written notice by either party. Under the terms of the High Standard Agreement, High Standard will receive a base fee of $25,000 per month. High Standard is also entitled to receive an incentive fee with the approval of the Board in such an amount as is determined in the Board’s discretion. High Standard will also be entitled to receive certain one-time fees if the Company reaches the following market capitalization milestones:

$300,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $150 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days;
$300,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $300 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days;
$400,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $400 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days;
$500,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $500 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days;

$700,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $700 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days.

If the Company terminates the High Standard Agreement for cause or if High Standard voluntarily terminates their engagement with the Company, the Company will pay High Standard the fee as accrued until the date of termination and any reimbursable expenses incurred up to the date of termination.

If the Company terminates the High Standard Agreement without cause, the Company’s obligation to compensate High Standard will cease, except that within thirty days after the date of termination the Company will pay High Standard a termination fee equal to twenty four months' base fee plus any accrued payment obligations.

If the High Standard Agreement is terminated as a result of a change of control or is deemed to be terminated as a result of a change of control, the Company’s obligation to compensate High Standard will cease, except that within thirty days after the date of termination the Company will pay High Standard any accrued payment obligations together with a termination fee equal to twenty four months' base fee plus an amount that is the equivalent of all cash bonuses paid by the Company to High Standard in the twenty four months prior to the change of control.

Mr. Dixon is also entitled to receive an incentive fee, the amount of the incentive fee and incentives to be awarded to Mr. Dixon will be determined by the Board, acting reasonably, with the intention that, separate and apart from the incentive fee, Mr. Dixon will be eligible for a minimum annual short term incentive (e.g. cash bonus) of 100% of the annual salary and a minimum annual long term incentive award (e.g. options) of 150% of the annual salary with the approval of the Board in such an amount as is determined in the Board’s discretion.

$600,000 if the Company’s market capitalization reaches $700 million for a minimum period of 20 consecutive trading days.

The Company must have a minimum of $5 million in its bank account before any one-time fees are paid to Mr. Dixon. In the event that the Company does not have the minimum cash requirement at the time that the market capitalization milestone is met, the market capitalization bonus will be accrued, without interest or penalty, until such time as the cash requirement is met and the market capitalization bonus shall be paid within 5 business days thereafter.

Mr. Dixon may voluntarily terminate the Dixon Agreement by giving the Company two months' written notice, in which case Mr. Dixon will not be entitled to any severance payment, but will be entitled to receive salary, incentive fee, market capitalization fee, all incentives awarded and to be awarded and vacation pay earned to the date of termination and payment of any reimbursable expenses. Any unvested stock options or similar incentives held by Mr. Dixon will vest as of the date of resignation and will, along with all other vested options and incentives, remain exercisable until the later of the original expiry date and one year after the date of resignation.

The Company may terminate the Dixon Agreement without cause at any time by notice in writing stating the last day of employment, in which event the Company shall be obligated to provide to Mr. Dixon an amount equal to two times the salary and any reimbursable expenses. The Company is also obligated to pay any incentives awarded and to be awarded and any incentive fee and market capitalization fee earned to the date of termination. Any unvested stock options or similar incentives will vest as of the date of termination and, along with all other vested options and incentives, remain exercisable until the later of the original expiry date and one year after the date of termination.

Oversight and Description of Director and Name Executive Officer Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee and Compensation Governance

The role of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to compensation issues. The Compensation Committee is comprised of three directors, Josef Hocher (Chair) Aaron Bowden and Dan Kriznic, the majority of whom are independent. The Compensation Committee is required to meet at least annually. The Compensation Committee evaluates the NEOs performance and establishes executive and senior officer compensation, determines the general compensation structure, policies and programs of the Company, including the extent and level of participation in incentive programs, and makes recommendations to the Board for its consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee has also been mandated to review the adequacy and form of the compensation of directors and to ensure that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risk involved in being an effective director as well as the risk any such compensation policy or practice would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee strives to find a balance between short-term and long-term compensation and cash versus equity incentive compensation. Base salaries and discretionary cash bonuses primarily reward recent performance and incentive stock options encourage NEOs to continue to deliver results over a longer period of time and serve as a retention tool. The annual salary for each NEO is determined by the Compensation Committee based on the level of responsibility and experience of the individual, the relative importance of the position to the Company, the professional qualifications of the individual and the performance of the individual over time. Increases in salary are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based. Except for named executive officers whose employment agreements provide a formula for calculation of the amount of cash bonuses, the amount and award of cash bonuses to key executives and senior management is discretionary, dependent on, among other factors, the financial performance of the Company and the position of a participant.

All members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience which is relevant to their responsibilities as Compensation Committee members. All of the Compensation Committee members have a good understanding of compensation programs. They also have good financial understanding which allows them to assess the costs versus benefits of compensation plans. The members combined experience in the resource and management sectors provides them with the understanding of the Company’s success factors and risks, which is very important when determining metrics for measuring success.

Role of Management in Determining Compensation

The accountability for decisions on executive remuneration is clearly within the mandate of the Compensation Committee, but management has a key role in helping support the committee in fulfilling its obligations. For example, the CEO and other senior executives make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding executive officer base salary adjustments, stock-based grants and discretionary bonuses. The Compensation Committee reviews the basis for these recommendations and can exercise its discretion in modifying any of the recommendations prior to making its recommendations to the Board. The CEO does not make a recommendation to the Compensation Committee with respect to his own remuneration package.

Overview of Compensation Philosophy

The Company does not have a formal compensation program. The Company’s core compensation philosophy is to pay the executive officers competitive levels of compensation that best reflect their individual responsibilities and contributions to the Company, while providing incentives to achieve the Company’s business and financial objectives.

The Company’s compensation structure is designed to reward performance and to be competitive with the compensation arrangements of other Canadian companies of similar size and scope of operations. A number of factors are considered when determining NEO compensation including, the overall financial and operating performance of the Company, the NEOs individual performance and contribution to the benefit of the Company, the individual NEOs responsibilities and length of service, levels of compensation provided by industry competitors, and the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Elements of Compensation

Compensation for the NEOs is composed primarily of three components; namely, base salary, participation in the Company’s incentive stock option plan, and short-term incentive compensation in the form of discretionary performance bonuses. Other benefits do not form a significant part of the remuneration package of any of the NEOs. In most cases, employment benefits, health care and life insurance are provided in a manner which is appropriate to the country of employment.

Each element of the Company’s executive compensation program is described in more detail below.

Base Salaries

An NEOs base salary is intended to remunerate the NEO for discharging job responsibilities and reflects the executive’s performance over time. Individual salary adjustments take into account performance contributions in connection with their specific duties. The base salary of each executive officer is recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board for approval based on an assessment of his sustained performance and consideration of competitive compensation levels for the markets in which the Company operates. In making its recommendations to the Board, the Compensation Committee also considers the particular skills and experience of the individual.

Long Term Incentive Compensation – Stock Options

The stock option component of an NEOs compensation, which, at the discretion of the Board, can include a vesting element to ensure retention, serves to both motivate the executive toward increasing share value and to enable the executive to share in the future success of the Company. Individual stock options are granted by the Board on the recommendation of senior management, in the case of employees, and by the Compensation Committee, in the case of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. Options are normally awarded by the Board upon the commencement of an individual’s employment with the Company based on the level of responsibility within the Company. Additional option grants may be made periodically to ensure that the number of stock options granted to any particular individual is commensurate with the individual’s level of ongoing responsibility within the Company. In considering additional grants, a number of factors are considered including, the role the individual plays in the Company, the number of stock options an individual has been granted, the exercise price and the value of the options and the term remaining on those options.


19

Short Term Incentive Compensation – Discretionary Cash Bonuses

As an additional incentive, the Company had management bonus agreements with two NEOs as set out above.

The Company may award additional discretionary cash bonuses to executive officers and employees of Company from time to time. Other than with respect to the NEOs, the amount of the bonus that each individual may be eligible for is not set in relation to any formula or specific criteria, but is the result of a subjective determination of the Company’s performance, overall industry conditions, as well as the individual’s performance and his or her contribution to overall corporate goals. The payment of bonuses is subject to the final approval of the Board and the Board has the discretion to amend or veto bonuses in its sole discretion.

Analysis of Elements

Base salary is used to provide the named executive officers a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that each NEO will perform his responsibilities to the best of his ability and in the best interests of the Company.

The Company considers the granting of incentive stock options to be a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward each NEO’s efforts to increase value for shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. Stock options are generally awarded to directors, officers, consultants and employees at the commencement of employment and periodically thereafter. The terms and conditions of the Company’s stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Company’s stock option plan.

Retirement Benefits

The Company does not have formal pension plans for its executives. However, from time to time, in order to attract and retain the right level of skill, expertise and talent, the Company may structure the overall compensation arrangements of one or more of its executives to include retirement compensation arrangements.

Directors Compensation

The Compensation Committee, through discussions without any formal objectives, criteria or analysis, is responsible for determining all forms of compensation to be granted to the directors of the Company to be recommended to the Board for approval. The level of compensation for directors is determined after consideration of various relevant factors, including the expected nature and quantity of duties and responsibilities, past performance, comparison with compensation paid by other issuers of comparable size and stage of development in cannabis industry, and the availability of financial and other resources of the Company.

Non-executive directors do not currently receive directors’ fees or fees for participation on Board committees. Long- term incentives in the form of stock options are granted to non-executive directors from time to time, based on an existing complement of long-term incentives, corporate performance and to be competitive with other companies of similar size and scope.

Directors

The current non-management directors received a cash fee of $25,000 for the year ended January 31, 2018. Effective February 1, 2018, the chair of a committee was paid $7,500.00 quarterly and each member of a committee of the Board was paid $5,000 quarterly. The chair of any committee is not entitled to this additional award. No fees are paid for attendance at meetings. Also, pursuant to the Option Plan, the Company may, from time to time, grant options to purchase Invictus Shares to directors.

A director who is an employee of the Company does not receive director’s fees.


20

Directors are also reimbursed for out-of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of committee meetings or otherwise on Company business.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The measures that the Board of Directors takes in connection with orienting new Board members regarding the role of the Board, its directors, the committees of the Board and the nature and operation of the Company’s business include providing each new member with information concerning the role and responsibilities of a public company director and discussing with new members the Company’s operations.

As each director has a different set of skills and professional background, the Board seeks to tailor orientation of new members according to the particular needs and experience of each new director.

The Board encourages continued education for its directors and ensures that all directors are kept apprised of changes in the Company’s operations and business and changes in the regulatory environment affecting the Company’s day to day business. At every Board meeting, management provides updates and briefings to directors with respect to the business and operations of the Company. The Company’s outside legal counsel also provides directors and senior officers with summary updates of any developments relating to the duties and responsibilities of directors and officers and corporate governance matters. Board members may also attend external education seminars that they determine necessary to keep themselves up-to-date with current issues relevant to their services as directors of the Company.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Company is committed to conducting its business in compliance with the law and the highest ethical standards. Accordingly, the Company has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as amended (the "Code") applicable to directors, officers and all employees of the Company. Directors, officers or employees who have concerns or questions about violations of laws, rules or regulations, or of the Code, are required to report them to the Company’s legal counsel. Following the receipt of any complaints submitted hereunder, the Company’s legal counsel will investigate each matter so reported and report to the Board which will take corrective disciplinary actions, if appropriate, up to and including termination of employment.

All directors, executive officers and senior management are expected to comply with the Blackout Period Policy.
  • a Corporate Disclosure Policy to ensure effective communication between the Company, its shareholders and the public.

The duties of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chairperson include overseeing the proper functioning of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to ensure the proper discharge of its duties, to schedule meetings and to ensure timely reporting to the Board.


27

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meets regularly each year on such dates and at such locations as the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chairperson determines. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has access to such officers and employees of the Company and to such information respecting the Company and may engage independent counsel and advisors at the expense of the Company, all as it considers to be necessary or advisable in order to perform its duties and responsibilities.

Pursuant to the charter of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter"), the following are the principal corporate governance responsibilities of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee:

Assessments

The Board, the Committee and individual directors are not regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution. The Board believes that such assessments are more appropriate for companies of a larger size and complexity which may have significantly larger boards of directors. Where appropriate, the chair of the Board meets with individual directors to discuss their contribution and that of the other directors. Arising from such meetings, if appropriate, the Board considers procedural and substantive changes to increase the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and members.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON - INVICTUS STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company's current Option Plan was adopted by the Shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on June 26, 2017 and must be re-approved by the Shareholders on a yearly basis pursuant to the policies of the TSXV.

The purpose of the Option Plan is to ensure that the Company is to able to provide an incentive program for directors, officers, employees and persons providing services to the Company (each, an "Optionee") that provides enough flexibility in the structuring of incentive benefits to allow the Company to remain competitive in the recruitment and maintenance of key personnel.

The Option Plan is administered by the Board, which shall, without limitation, have full and final authority in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Option Plan, to interpret the Option Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Option Plan, subject to any necessary shareholder or regulatory approval. The Board may delegate any or all of its authority with respect to the administration of the Option Plan. The Board shall determine to whom options shall be granted, the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements, the time or times at which such options shall be granted and vested, and the number of Invictus Shares to be subject to each option.

The material terms of the Option Plan are qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Option Plan and are summarized below.

Under the Option Plan, options are exercisable over periods of up to 10 years as determined by the Board and are required to have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of the Company's shares on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the Company announces the grant of options (or, if the grant is not announced, the closing market price prevailing on the day that the option is granted), less the applicable discount, if any, permitted by the policies of the TSXV and approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Board may from time to time authorize the issue of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to options previously granted and those granted under the Option Plan are 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. In addition, the number of shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one individual may not exceed (without shareholder approval) 5% of the issued shares on a yearly basis or 2% if the optionee is engaged in investor relations activities or is a consultant. The Option Plan contains no vesting requirements, but permits the Board to specify a vesting schedule in its discretion, subject to the TSXV's minimum vesting requirements, if any.

The Option Plan provides that if a change of control (as defined in the Option Plan) occurs, or if the Company is subject to a take-over bid, all shares subject to stock options shall immediately become vested and may thereupon be exercised in whole or in part by the option holder. The Board may also accelerate the expiry date of outstanding stock options in connection with a take-over bid.

The Option Plan contains adjustment provisions with respect to outstanding options in cases of share reorganizations, special distributions and other corporation reorganizations including an arrangement or other transaction under which the business or assets of the Company become, collectively, the business and assets of two or more companies with the same shareholder group upon the distribution to the Company's shareholders, or the exchange with the Company's shareholders, of securities of the Company or securities of another company.

The Option Plan provides that on the death or disability of an option holder, all vested options will expire at the earlier of 365 days after the date of death or disability and the expiry date of such options. Where an optionee is terminated for cause, any outstanding options (whether vested or unvested) are cancelled as of the date of termination. If an optionee retires or voluntarily resigns or is otherwise terminated by the Company other than for cause, then all vested options held by such optionee will expire at the earlier of (i) the expiry date of such options and (ii) the date which is 90 days (30 days if the optionee was engaged in investor relations activities) after the optionee ceases its office, employment or engagement with the Company; however, the Board may extend this expiry date within a reasonable period in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.


31

The Option Plan contains a provision that if pursuant to the operation of an adjustment provision of the Option Plan, an optionee receives options (the "New Options") to purchase securities of another company (the "New Company") in respect of the optionee's options under the Option Plan (the "Subject Options"), the New Options shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of the Subject Options; (ii) if the optionee does not become an eligible person in respect of the New Company, the date that the Subject Options expire pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Option Plan relating to expiration of options in cases of death, disability or termination of employment discussed in the preceding paragraph above (the "Termination Provisions"); (iii) if the optionee becomes an eligible person in respect of the New Company, the date that the New Options expire pursuant to the terms of the New Company's stock option plan that correspond to the Termination Provisions; and (iv) the date that is one (1) year after the optionee ceases to be an eligible person in respect of the New Company or such shorter period as determined by the Board.

In accordance with good corporate governance practices and as recommended by National Policy 51-201 Disclosure Standards, the Company imposes black-out periods restricting the trading of its securities by directors, officers, employees and consultants during periods surrounding the release of annual and interim financial statements and at other times when deemed necessary by management and the board of directors. In order to ensure that holders of outstanding stock options are not prejudiced by the imposition of such black-out periods, the Option Plan contains a provision to the effect that any outstanding stock options with an expiry date occurring during a management imposed black-out period or within five days thereafter will be automatically extended to a date that is 10 trading days following the end of the black-out period.

The Company does not provide any financial assistance to participants in order to facilitate the purchase of Shares under the Option Plan. As at the date of this Circular, there were options outstanding under the Option Plan to acquire 9,498,000 Invictus Shares, representing approximately 9.8% of the Company’s current issued and outstanding shares.

A copy of the Option Plan may be inspected at the head office of the Company, #300 – 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, V4B 1C5 during normal business hours and at the Meeting. In addition, a copy of the Option Plan will be mailed, free of charge, to any holder of Shares who requests a copy, in writing, from the Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company. Any such requests should be mailed to the Company, at its head office, to the attention of the Assistant Corporate Secretary.

The policies of the TSXV require that rolling plans be approved by shareholders on a yearly basis. Accordingly, Shareholders are being asked to pass an ordinary resolution to ratify and confirm the Option Plan as adopted by the Board which permits the issuance of up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Invictus Shares from time to time. To be effective, the resolution must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast thereon by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting. If the resolution to approve the Option Plan is not approved by Shareholders of the Company, all unallocated stock options will be cancelled and the Company will not be permitted to make any further grants until Shareholder approval is obtained.

Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution, in substantially the following form to re-approve the Option Plan.

"BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:

1.

the Option Plan of the Company, as adopted by the Board of Directors, and as described in the Company’s management information circular dated September 14, 2018, be and is hereby approved and ratified, and the Company be and is hereby authorized to reserve for issuance pursuant to the Option Plan up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from time to time;



32

2.

the Board of Directors be and is hereby authorized on behalf of the Company to make any amendments to the Option Plan as may be required by regulatory authorities or otherwise made necessary by applicable legislation, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, in order to ensure the adoption and efficient function of the Option Plan; and

   
3.

any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to do such things and to execute and deliver all such instruments, deeds and documents, and any amendments thereto, as may be necessary or advisable in order to give effect to the foregoing resolutions, and to complete all transactions in connection with the implementation of the Option Plan."

The directors of the Company believe the passing of the foregoing ordinary resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders of the Company vote IN FAVOUR of the resolution. In the absence of contrary instruction, the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy intended to vote IN FAVOUR of the approval of the Option Plan.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – AMENDMENT TO ESCROW AGREEMENT

Certain escrowed Shareholders (the "Escrowed Shareholders") entered into the Escrow Agreement in connection with the Company’s original listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Shareholders had their Invictus Shares deposited into escrow subject to release upon the satisfaction of certain performance milestones as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of 569,636 Invictus Shares held by the Escrowed Shareholders remain in escrow (the "Escrowed Shares").

The Board has reviewed the escrow release provisions in the Escrow Agreement and has determined that the release metrics contained in section 2.3(c) of the Escrow Agreement are no longer applicable, as the performance milestone of the Company relating to this metric were based around a licensed producer applicant which has since been discontinued by the Company. As a result, the Company wishes to amend the Escrow Agreement to remove section 2.3(c) relating to the Performance-Based Release Schedule so that the Escrowed Shares can be released to the Escrowed Shareholders.

As required by the TSXV, an amendment to the Escrow Agreement to release the Escrowed Shares without the Company having met the performance parameters requires that the Company obtain the approval of disinterested shareholders. This is to ensure that all securityholders are treated in a manner that is fair, and generally requires enhanced disclosure and approval by a majority of securityholders, excluding interested or related parties. As each of the Escrowed Shareholders will be receiving the Escrowed Shares once the Escrow Agreement is amended, each is considered an interested party. Accordingly, the Escrow Amendment Resolution will require the approval of a majority of the Shareholders, in person or by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes held or controlled by the Escrowed Shareholders.

The text of the Escrow Amendment Resolution that Shareholders will be asked to pass at the Meeting is set forth below.

"BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:

1.

the amendment to the Escrow Agreement to remove the Performance Milestone (as such term is used in the Escrow Agreement) set forth in section 2(c) of the Escrow Agreement be and is hereby authorized and approved;

   
2.

the release of the Escrowed Shares from escrow and delivery of the Escrowed Shares to the Escrowed Shareholders be and is hereby authorized and approved; and

   
3.

any one director or officer is hereby authorized to execute for and in the name of and on behalf of the Company, under common seal of the Company or otherwise, and deliver all such documents, instruments in writing and to do all such other things for and in the name of and on behalf of the Company, as he in his discretion may consider necessary, desirable or useful for the purpose of carrying out the effect of the foregoing resolutions.



33

The directors of the Company believe the passing of the foregoing ordinary resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that disinterested Shareholders of the Company vote IN FAVOUR of the resolution. In the absence of contrary instruction, the person(s) designated by management of the Company in the enclosed form of proxy intended to vote IN FAVOUR of the approval of the Escrow Amendment Resolution.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON - THE ARRANGEMENT

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to approve the Arrangement involving Invictus, its securityholders and Poda (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invictus), in order to create a stand-alone entity focused on creating the world's first zero- cleaning pod-based vaporizer system. The Arrangement will involve, among other things, certain exchanges of securities resulting in Shareholders at the Effective Date receiving one New Invictus Share and one Poda Share for each one Invictus Share held.

It is intended that following the Arrangement, Poda will seek a listing of the Poda Shares listed on the CSE.

Shareholders will be asked to approve the Arrangement Resolution as a special resolution pursuant to section 288 of the BCBCA and in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

The disclosure of the principal features of the Arrangement, as summarized below, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement including the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Appendix "F" to this Circular.

Steps in the Arrangement

At the Effective Time, the following shall occur and be deemed to occur in the following order without any further act or formality:

  (a)

the outstanding Poda Shares will be subdivided such that the number of Poda Shares outstanding immediately following such subdivision shall be equal to the number of issued and outstanding Invictus Shares as at the Effective Date;

     
  (b)

the authorized capital of Invictus will be amended by:


  (i)

the elimination of the Invictus Class A Preferred Shares from the authorized share structure of Invictus;

     
  (ii)

the alteration of the Invictus Shares by changing their identifying name to "Class A" common shares (the "Old Invictus Shares"); and

     
  (iii)

the creation of an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the "New Invictus Shares") having attached thereto the special rights and restrictions set out in Schedule A to the Plan of Arrangement,

and the Notice of Articles and the Articles of Invictus will be amended accordingly;

  (c)

each Invictus Stock Option outstanding immediately before the Effective Date will be exchanged for:


  (i)

a stock option to be issued by Invictus (a "New Invictus Stock Option") pursuant to which:


  (A)

the holder of the New Invictus Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option, that number of New Invictus Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement, if immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was therefore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and



34

  (B)

the exercise price per New Invictus Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one New Invictus Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value; and


  (ii)

a stock option to be issued by Poda (a "Poda Stock Option") pursuant to which:


  (A)

the holder of the Poda Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the Poda Stock Option, that number of Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (B)

the exercise price per Poda Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one Poda Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value;

It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of an Invictus Stock Option for a New Invictus Stock Option and a Poda Stock Option. Therefore, in the event that the aggregate of:

  (1)

the New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (2)

the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option

exceeds the Old Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option, the number of (i) New Invictus Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, and (ii) Poda Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Poda Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the aggregate of the (i) New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option, and (ii) the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option does not exceed the Old Invictus Stock Option-In The Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Except as set out above and in the Plan of Arrangement, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule, the status under applicable laws, and all other terms and conditions of the New Invictus Stock Options and Poda Stock Options will otherwise be unchanged from those contained in or otherwise applicable to the related Invictus Stock Option except that:

  (A)

all Poda Stock Options issued under the Arrangement shall vest and become exercisable in full on the Effective Date; and



35

  (B)

the holders of Poda Stock Options will not be entitled, on exercise, to receive Poda Shares if such Poda Stock Options are exercised (1) more than one year following the Effective Date of the Arrangement in the event the holder is not eligible to participate in Poda’s stock option plan following the Effective Date; or (2) more than 90 days (or 30 days if the holder was engaged in Investor Relations Activities, as such term is defined in the stock option plan of Poda) following the date on which such holder, following the completion of the Arrangement, ceases to be eligible to participate in Poda's stock option plan; and (3) all Poda Stock Options issued hereunder shall otherwise be governed by and subject to the terms of the Poda's stock option plan);


  (d)

each issued Invictus Share held by a Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) will be transferred to Invictus in exchange for:


  (i)

one New Invictus Share; and

     
  (ii)

one Poda Share;


  (e)

each issued Invictus Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder will be acquired by Invictus in consideration for Invictus agreeing to pay the amount to be paid as determined in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement in respect of the dissenting shares;

     
  (f)

the authorized capital of Invictus will be amended by eliminating the Old Invictus Shares from the authorized share structure of Invictus and the Notice of Articles and Articles of Invictus will be amended accordingly; and

     
  (g)

in accordance with the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates, (A) each holder of an Invictus Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise of such holder's Invictus Warrant, in lieu of each Invictus Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Warrants; and (B) such Invictus Warrant shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates.

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine whether or not to proceed with the Arrangement without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders.

Shareholders may exercise Dissent Rights pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA provided that the notice of dissent is given by 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on the day which is two business days immediately preceding the date of the Meeting or the day otherwise ordered by the Court in connection with the Arrangement and pursuant to Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement, Shareholders who duly exercise the Dissent Rights and who:

(a)

are ultimately to be paid fair value for their Invictus Shares by Invictus shall be deemed to have had their Invictus Shares transferred to Invictus for such value on the Effective Date; or

   
(b)

are ultimately not entitled to be paid fair value for any reason for their Invictus Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-dissenting holder of Invictus Shares and shall receive Poda Shares on the basis determined in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Plan of Arrangement.



36

Poda Working Capital - Source of Funds

For information on Poda’s working capital upon completion of the Arrangement, please see Appendix B "Financing/Available funds".

Effect of the Arrangement

As a result of the Arrangement, Shareholders will receive one New Invictus Share and one Poda Share in exchange for each one Invictus Share held. It is expected that the issued capital of Poda on the Effective Date will be 96,623,857 Poda Shares (on a non-diluted basis, assuming that no Invictus Stock Options or Invictus Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Date and that no Invictus Shares are issued from treasury prior the Effective Date).

Poda will be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec, and it is the intention of Poda to apply for listing of the Poda Shares on the CSE following completion of the Arrangement provided that Poda has the Poda Required Working Capital on hand. See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – The Arrangement – Poda Working Capital – Source of Funds" and "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – The Arrangement – Arrangement Risk Factors".

The New Invictus Shares will continue to be listed on the TSXV upon completion of the Arrangement.

Each Invictus Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be exchanged for a New Invictus Stock Option and a Poda Stock Option.

Each holder of an Invictus Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon the exercise of such Invictus Warrant, the number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the completion of the Arrangement in lieu of each Invictus Share to which such holder would have received under the original terms of the Warrant.

Additional information relating to Poda is contained in Appendix "B" to this Circular.

Recommendation of the Board

Invictus has reviewed the terms and conditions of the proposed Arrangement, has received the Fairness Opinion provided by Evans & Evans, Inc. and has concluded that the Arrangement is fair and reasonable to its securityholders and in the best interests of Invictus.

In arriving at this conclusion, the directors of Invictus considered, among other matters:

  1.

the financial condition, business and operations of Invictus, on both an historical and prospective basis, and information in respect of Poda on a pro-forma basis;

     
  2.

the procedures by which the Arrangement is to be approved, including the requirement for approval of the Arrangement by the Court after a hearing at which fairness to Invictus securityholders will be considered;

     
  3.

the availability of rights of dissent to Shareholders with respect to the Arrangement;

     
  4.

the assets to be held by the two Companies;

     
  5.

historical information regarding the prices of the Invictus Shares;

     
  6.

the anticipated Canadian tax treatment of Invictus security holders under the Arrangement;



37

  7.

if the intended listing of the Poda Shares is completed, Shareholders will own securities of two publicly listed companies;

     
  8.

Invictus will be able to continue its focus on expanding its cultivation footprint in the cannabis sector, which the directors believe will appeal to prospective investors in Invictus;

     
  9.

Poda will be able to concentrate its efforts on the launch of its vaporization devices and pods as a standalone entity, which the directors believe will appeal to prospective investors in Poda; and

     
  10.

Invictus and Poda will each have a solid management team.

The Board also identified disadvantages associated with the Arrangement including the fact that there will be the additional costs associated with running two companies instead of one, that Invictus will incur significant expenses in connection with the Arrangement, the uncertainty surrounding the funding of Poda and the listing of the Poda Shares on the CSE or other stock exchange, and that there is no assurance that the proposed Arrangement will result in positive benefits to Shareholders.

The foregoing summary of the information, factors and risk factors considered by the Board are not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the variety of factors, the amount of information and the appropriate risk factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement, the Board did not find it practical to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign any relative weight to each specific factor or risk factor considered in reaching its conclusion and recommendation. The Board’s recommendation was made after considering all of the above-noted factors as well as the information and risk factors referred to elsewhere herein and in light of the Board’s knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. In addition, individual members of the Board may have assigned different weights to different factors.

Based on its review of these and other factors, the Board considers the Arrangement to be in the best interests of Invictus and fair and reasonable to the Shareholders, and recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the approval of the Arrangement Resolution.

The board of directors of Invictus recommends that the Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution. Each director of Invictus who owns Invictus Shares has indicated his intention to vote his Invictus Shares IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution.

No Collateral Benefits

No director or officer of Poda or Invictus is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Arrangement, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities, or other enhancement in benefits related to past or future services as an employee, director or consultant. The directors and officers will receive a distribution per security in the Arrangement that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of Invictus Shares.

Arrangement Risk Factors

Invictus and Poda should each be considered highly speculative investments and the transactions contemplated herein should be considered of a high-risk nature. Shareholders should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in this Circular prior to voting on the Arrangement Resolution. In addition to the other information presented in this Circular, the following risk factors should be considered:


38

  1.

If Invictus and Poda receive all required approvals for the completion of the Arrangement the directors of Invictus and Poda may proceed with the Arrangement notwithstanding that the Poda Required Working Capital may not be funded or arranged to be funded prior to completion of the Arrangement. Poda's working capital on completion of the Arrangement may only be the Poda Minimum Working Capital, and there is no assurance that the Poda Required Working Capital will otherwise be funded, or that Poda will be able to raise any additional funds at all. If the Poda Required Working Capital is not funded prior to completion of the Arrangement, and Poda is not able to obtain required funding after the completion of the Arrangement, the Poda Shares will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange and Poda could be unable to continue operations.

     
  2.

The trading price of Invictus Shares at the Effective Date will likely vary from the prices as at the date of execution of the Arrangement Agreement, the date of this Circular and the date of the Meeting and will fluctuate depending on investors' perceptions of the merits of the Arrangement.

     
  3.

There is no assurance that the Arrangement will complete or, if it is completed, that the Poda Shares will be listed for trading on a stock exchange.

     
  4.

There is no assurance that the Arrangement can be completed as proposed or without Shareholders exercising their dissent rights in respect of a substantial number of Invictus Shares.

     
  5.

There is no assurance that the businesses of Invictus or Poda, after completing the Arrangement, will be successful.

     
  6.

While Invictus believes that the Securities to be issued to Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement will not be subject to any resale restrictions (save securities held by control persons and save for any restrictions flowing from current restrictions associated with a Shareholder's Invictus Shares), there is no assurance that this is the case and each Shareholder is urged to obtain appropriate legal advice regarding applicable securities legislation.

     
  7.

The transactions may give rise to significant adverse tax consequences to Shareholders and each such Shareholder is urged to consult their own tax advisor.

Effects of the Arrangement on Shareholders’ Rights

As a result of the Arrangement, Shareholders will continue to be shareholders of Invictus and will also be shareholders of Poda.

Conduct of Meeting and Other Approvals

Shareholders at the Meeting will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, adopt the Arrangement Resolution. The Arrangement Resolution is a special resolution that must be approved by not less than two thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting.

Under the BCBCA, Invictus is required to obtain the approval of the Court to the calling of the Meeting and to the Arrangement. On September 14, 2018, prior to mailing the material in respect of the Meeting, Invictus obtained an Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order and the Notice of Petition are attached as Appendices "D" and "E" respectively, to this Circular. As set out in the Notice of Petition, the Court hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place at 9:45 a.m., PDT, on October 23, 2018, or as soon thereafter as the Court may direct or counsel for Invictus may be heard, at the Courthouse, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.

Invictus securityholders who wish to participate in or be represented at the Court hearing should consult with their legal advisors as to the necessary requirements.

At the Court hearing, Invictus securityholders who wish to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to the Supreme Court Civil Rules. Although the authority of the Court is very broad under the BCBCA, Invictus has been advised by counsel that the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and the rights and interests of every person affected. The Court may approve the Arrangement as proposed or as amended in any manner as the Court may direct. The Court's approval is required for the Arrangement to become effective.

The Court will be informed prior to the hearing that if such approval is obtained, this will constitute the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act under section 3(a)(10) thereunder with respect to the issuance of the Securities to be distributed, as described below under "Securities Laws Considerations – U.S. Securities Laws and Resale of Securities". In addition, it is a condition of the Arrangement that the Court will have determined, prior to approving the Final Order, that the terms and conditions of the exchanges of securities comprising the Arrangement are fair to those security holders to whom securities will be issued upon completion of the Arrangement.

Fairness Opinion

The Board retained Evans and Evans, Inc. (the "Fairness Advisor"), who has delivered the Fairness Opinion which concludes that, based upon and subject to the factors referred to therein, as of June 30, 2018, the proposed Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. The Fairness Opinion is attached to this Circular at Appendix "H".

Invictus agreed to pay a flat fee for the services of the Fairness Advisor, payable upon delivery of the Fairness Opinon to the Board. The fee is not dependent on the conclusions reached in the Fairness Opinion.

The Fairness Advisor is not an insider, associate or affiliate of either of the Companies. The Fairness Advisor has not acted as advisor to the Companies or their respective affiliates in connection with the Arrangement and has no past, present or intended interest in the shares and properties of Invictus and its affiliates.

There are no understandings, commitments or agreements between the Fairness Advisor and either of the Companies or their respective predecessor, subsidiary companies and affiliates with respect to future business dealings. The Fairness Advisor may in the future in the ordinary course of business perform financial advisory services to a broad spectrum of corporate clients, and perform financial and research services for companies referred to in the Fairness Opinion.

The analyses conducted by the Fairness Advisor, as described in the Fairness Opinion, should be considered as a whole. To focus on specific portions of each analysis and of the factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete and misleading view of the processes underlying the Fairness Opinion.

Procedure for Receipt of Poda Shares

The following information is a summary only. For full details of procedures for the delivery of certificates see Article 5 "Certificates and Documentation" of the Plan of Arrangement.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Depositary will forward in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Plan of Arrangement, to each registered holder of record of Invictus Shares who has not dissented to the Arrangement, a letter of transmittal containing instructions with respect to the deposit of certificates for Invictus Shares with the Depositary for use in exchanging their Invictus Share certificates for certificates representing the New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares to which they are entitled under the Arrangement. Upon return of a properly completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates formerly representing Invictus Shares and such other documents as the Depositary may require, certificates for the appropriate number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares will be distributed.

Treatment of Convertible Invictus Securities

Each Invictus Stock Option outstanding immediately before the Effective Date will be exchanged for:

(a)

a New Invictus Stock Option pursuant to which:



42

  (i)

the holder of the New Invictus Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option, that number of New Invictus Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement, if immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was therefore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (ii)

the exercise price per New Invictus Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one New Invictus Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value; and


(b)

a Poda Stock Option pursuant to which:


  (i)

the holder of the Poda Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the Poda Stock Option, that number of Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (ii)

the exercise price per Poda Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one Poda Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value;

It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of an Invictus Stock Option for a New Invictus Stock Option and a Poda Stock Option. Therefore, in the event that the aggregate of:

  (A)

the New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (B)

the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option

exceeds the Old Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option, the number of (i) New Invictus Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, and (ii) Poda Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Poda Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the aggregate of the (i) New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option, and (ii) the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option does not exceed the Old Invictus Stock Option-In The Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Except as set out in the Plan of Arrangement, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule, the status under applicable laws, and all other terms and conditions of the New Invictus Stock Options and Poda Stock Options will otherwise be unchanged from those contained in or otherwise applicable to the related Invictus Stock Option except that:

  (A)

all Poda Stock Options issued under the Arrangement shall vest and become exercisable in full on the Effective Date; and

     
  (B)

the holders of Poda Stock Options will not be entitled, on exercise, to receive Poda Shares if such Poda Stock Options are exercised (1) more than one year following the Effective Date of the Arrangement in the event the holder is not eligible to participate in Poda’s stock option plan following the Effective Date; or (2) more than 90 days (or 30 days if the holder was engaged in Investor Relations Activities, as such term is defined in the stock option plan of Poda) following the date on which such holder, following the completion of the Arrangement, ceases to be eligible to participate in Poda's stock option plan; and (3) all Poda Stock Options issued hereunder shall otherwise be governed by and subject to the terms of the Poda's stock option plan).



43

In accordance with the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates, (A) each holder of an Invictus Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise of such holder's Invictus Warrant, in lieu of each Invictus Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Warrants; and (B) such Invictus Warrant shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates.

Fees and Expenses

Invictus will pay the costs, fees and expenses of the Arrangement.

Effective Date of the Arrangement

If: (1) the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Shareholders; (2) the Final Order of the Court is obtained approving the Arrangement; (3) TSXV approval of the Arrangement is obtained; (4) every requirement of the BCBCA relating to the Arrangement has been complied with; and (5) all other conditions disclosed under "Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective" are met or waived, the Arrangement will become effective on the Effective Date.

47

Right of Dissent to the Arrangement

As indicated in the notice of the Meeting, any holder of Invictus Shares is entitled to be paid the fair value of his shares in accordance with the BCBCA if such holder dissents to the Arrangement and the Arrangement becomes effective.

A Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to such holder's shares if such holder votes any of those shares in favour of the special resolution authorizing the Arrangement. A brief summary of the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA is set out below.

A dissenting Shareholder has until 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on the day which is two business days immediately preceding the date of the Meeting to send to Invictus with respect to the special resolution authorizing the Arrangement a written notice of dissent pursuant to Section 242 of the BCBCA. After the special resolution is approved by the Shareholders and if Invictus notifies the dissenting Shareholder of its intention to act upon the special resolution, the dissenting Shareholder is then required within one month after Invictus gives such notice, to send to Invictus a written notice that such holder requires it to purchase all of the shares in respect of which such holder has given notice of dissent, together with the share certificate or certificates representing those shares, whereupon the dissenting Shareholder is bound to sell and Invictus is bound to purchase those shares.

A dissenting Shareholder who has complied with the BCBCA, or Invictus may apply to the Court for an order determining the price of the shares or ordering that the price be determined by arbitration, and the Court may make consequential orders or give directions as the Court considers appropriate. There is no obligation on Invictus to make application to the Court. The dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value that the Invictus Shares held by such holder had immediately before the passing of the special resolution to authorize the Arrangement.

All notices to Invictus of dissent to the Arrangement pursuant to Section 242 of the BCBCA should be addressed to Invictus at its registered office as follows:

  DuMoulin Black LLP
  Attention: Justin G. Kates
  10th Floor, 595 Howe Street
  Vancouver, British Columbia
  V6C 2T5

The foregoing summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his Invictus Shares. The BCBCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters' rights. Accordingly, each Shareholder who might desire to exercise the dissenter's rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the Interim Order and Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, the full text of which is set out in Appendix "G" to this Circular, and consult such holder's legal advisor.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

In the opinion of Thorsteinssons LLP, Canadian tax counsel to Invictus, the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to the Arrangement generally applicable to Invictus Shareholders who, for purposes of the Tax Act, (i) hold their Invictus Shares, and will hold their New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares as capital property, (ii) deal at arm’s length with Poda and Invictus, and (iii) are not affiliated with Poda or Invictus.

Invictus Shares, New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares, will generally be considered to be capital property to a holder thereof, unless such securities are held in the course of carrying on a business or were acquired in a transaction considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Certain shareholders who are resident in Canada and who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Invictus Shares, New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares as capital property may be entitled to have them treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election provided by subsection 39(4) of Tax Act. Any person contemplating making a subsection 39(4) election should first consult their tax adviser for advice the making of such election will affect the income tax treatment of the person’s disposition of other Canadian securities.


48

This summary is not applicable to an Invictus Shareholder (i) that is a "financial institution" as defined in the Tax Act the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act, (ii) that is a partnership or a trust. (iii) that is "specified financial institution" as defined in the Tax Act, (iv) that is a securityholder an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment" as defined in the Tax Act, or (iv) that has acquired Invictus Shares, or who acquires New Invictus Shares Poda Shares upon the exercise of an employee stock option, or (v) that is a taxpayer whose "functional currency" for purposes of the Tax Act is the currency of a country other than Canada. Such shareholders should consult their own tax advisers.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), counsel’s understanding of the current administrative practices and policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and Regulations (the "Proposed Amendments") announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their present form. If the Proposed Amendments are not enacted as presently proposed, the tax consequences may not be as described below in all cases. This summary does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in law or administrative or assessing practice, whether by legislative, governmental, or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax considerations, which may from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed below.

This summary is of a general nature only, and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income considerations. This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to Invictus Shareholder. Accordingly, Invictus Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers for advice as to income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement in their particular circumstances.

Securityholders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable to an Invictus Shareholder who, at all material times, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act.

(i) Exchange of Invictus Shares for New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares

Invictus has informed counsel that the amount expected to be the fair market value of all Poda Shares when they are distributed is substantially lower than the amount that will be the "paid-up capital", as defined in the Tax Act, of all Invictus Shares immediately before the distribution of Poda Shares. Accordingly, Invictus is not expected to be deemed to have paid a dividend as a result of the distribution of Poda Shares. In the event that the fair market value of all Poda Shares at the time of their distribution were to exceed the paid-up capital of all Invictus shares immediately before that time, Invictus would be deemed to have paid a dividend on the Invictus Shares equal to the amount of the excess, and each holder of Invictus Shares would be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of the dividend, based on the proportion of Invictus Shares held.

Assuming that the fair market value of all Poda Shares at the time of distribution does not exceed the paid-up capital of all Invictus Shares immediately before that time, a Invictus Shareholder whose Invictus Shares are exchanged for New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares will be considered to have disposed of the Invictus Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of the adjusted cost base to the shareholder of the Invictus Shares immediately before the exchange and the fair market value of the Poda Shares at the time of their distribution. Consequently, the Invictus Shareholder will realize a capital gain to the extent that the fair market value of the Poda Shares received exceeds the adjusted cost base of the shareholder’s Invictus Shares. In the event that the fair market value of all Poda Shares at the time of distribution were to exceed the paid-up capital of all Invictus Shares immediately before the distribution, the proceeds of disposition of the shareholder’s Invictus Shares would be reduced by the amount of the deemed dividend referred to in the previous paragraph that the shareholder is deemed to have received. See "Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" below for a general description of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.


49

The cost to an Invictus Shareholder of New Invictus Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base of the shareholder’s Invictus Shares immediately before the exchange exceeds the fair market value, at the time of their distribution, of the Poda Shares received by the shareholder. The cost to an Invictus Shareholder of the Poda Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the fair market value of the Poda Shares at the time of their distribution.

(ii) Dissenting Shareholders

An Invictus Shareholder who, as a result of exercising Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement, receives a cash payment from Invictus in consideration for the holder’s Invictus Shares will be deemed to receive a taxable dividend equal to the amount by which the amount received (excluding interest) from Invictus exceeds the paid-up capital of the dissenting Invictus Shareholder’s Invictus Shares. In the case of a dissenting Invictus Shareholder that is a corporation, in some circumstances, the amount of such deemed dividend may be treated as proceeds of disposition and not a dividend. See "Taxation of Dividends" below for a general description of the treatment of dividends under the Tax Act. The dissenting Invictus Shareholder will also be deemed to have received proceeds of disposition for the Invictus Shares equal to the amount (excluding interest) received by the dissenting Invictus Shareholder from Invictus less the amount of the deemed dividend referred to above. Consequently the dissenting Invictus Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of such dissenting Invictus Shareholder’s Invictus Shares. See "Taxation of Capital Gains or Capital Losses" below for a general description of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Interest paid or payable to a dissenting Invictus Shareholder will be included in the Dissenting Shareholder’s income.

(iii) Taxation of Dividends

In the case of a shareholder who is an individual, dividends received or deemed to be received on shares of Invictus or Poda will be included in computing the individual’s income and will be subject to gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to any dividends designated by Invictus or Poda, as the case may be, as an "eligible dividend" in accordance with the Tax Act.

In the case of a shareholder that is a corporation, dividends received or deemed to be received on shares of Invictus or Poda will be included in computing the corporation’s income and will generally be deductible in computing its taxable income. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received by a shareholder that is a corporation as proceeds of a disposition or a capital gain. A "private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or any other corporation controlled or deemed to be controlled by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable tax of 38⅓% on dividends received or deemed to be received on shares of Invictus or Poda to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income.

(iv) Disposition of Shares of Invictus or Poda

The disposition or deemed disposition of shares of Invictus or Poda by a holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the holder of those shares immediately before the disposition. See "Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" below for a general description of the tax treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.


50

(v) Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

One-half of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by a shareholder in a taxation year will be included in the shareholder’s income for the year. One-half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized by the shareholder in a year may be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the year. Any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains in a taxation year may be carried back up to three taxation years or forward indefinitely and deducted against net taxable capital gains in those other years, to the extent and in the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

A shareholder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable on its "aggregate investment income" for the year, which will include taxable capital gains.

The amount of any capital loss arising on the disposition or deemed disposition of any shares by a shareholder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of certain dividends received or deemed to have been received by it on such shares to the extent and under circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where the corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns such shares or where a trust or partnership of which the corporation is a beneficiary or a member is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns any such shares.

(vi) Alternative Minimum Tax on Individuals

The Tax Act provides for an alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals (including certain trusts and estates) resident in Canada, which is computed by reference to an adjusted taxable income amount. Eighty percent of capital gains (net of capital losses) and the actual amount of taxable dividends (not including any gross-up) are included in adjusted taxable income. Any additional tax payable by an individual under the minimum tax provisions may be carried forward and applied against certain tax otherwise payable in any of the seven immediately following taxation years; however this carryforward amount will only be creditable in a particular year to the extent that the individual’s tax payable for the year, calculated without reference to the minimum tax provisions, exceeds the tax payable under the minimum tax provisions for the year.

(vii) Eligibility for Investment – Poda Shares

Provided the Poda Shares received by the Invictus Shareholders are listed on a "designated stock exchange" (as defined in the Tax Act and which currently includes the CSE) at the particular time, the Poda Shares will, at such particular time, be "qualified investments" for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), a registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), a deferred profit sharing plan, a registered education savings plan ("RESP"), a registered disability savings plan ("RDSP") and a tax-free savings account ("TFSAs") under the Tax Act as of the date of the distribution of the Poda Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, that the Poda Shares may at a particular time be a qualified investment for a TFSA, RRSP, RRIF, RDSP or RESP (a "Registered Plan"), the holder, the subscriber or annuitant of the Registered Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax if such Poda Shares are a "prohibited investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Poda Shares will generally be a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan if the holder, subscriber, or annuitant, as the case may be, (a) does not deal at arm’s length with Poda for the purposes of the Tax Act, or (b) has a "significant interest" within the meaning of the Tax Act in Poda. Holders, subscribers and annuitants should consult their own tax advisors with respect to whether the Poda Shares would be a "prohibited investment" as defined in the Tax Act.


51

Invictus Securityholders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable to a Invictus Shareholder who (i) has not been, is not, and will not be resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax act, and (ii) does not and will not use or hold, and is not and will not be deemed to use or hold, Invictus Shares, New Invictus Shares, or Poda Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder"). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.

(i) Exchange of Invictus Shares for New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares

The discussion above, applicable to Invictus Shareholders resident in Canada under the heading "Exchange of Invictus Shares for New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares" also applies to a Non-Resident Holder. The tax treatment of a capital gain or a capital loss realized by a Non-Resident Holder is described generally below under the heading "Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses".

(ii) Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders

The discussion above applicable to Canadian resident Invictus Shareholders under the heading "Dissenting Shareholders", also applies to a dissenting Non-Resident Holder of Invictus Shares. The tax treatment of a capital gain or capital loss and a deemed dividend realized by a Non-Resident Holder of Invictus Shares as a consequence of exercising dissent rights to the Arrangement are described generally below under the headings "Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" and "Taxation of Dividends".

(iii) Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain arising on a disposition or deemed disposition of shares, unless, at the time of disposition, such shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Resident Holder within the meaning of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention.

Generally, a share listed on a designated stock exchange for purposes of the Tax Act (which includes the Exchange) will not be "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Resident Shareholder unless, at any particular time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the particular corporation were owned by such Non-Resident Shareholder, by persons with whom the Non- Resident Shareholder did not deal at arm’s length, or any combination thereof, and (ii) the shares derived more than 50% of their fair market value directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real property situation in Canada, "timber resource property", "Canadian resource property" (each as defined under the Tax Act), or options in respect of, or interests or rights in any of the foregoing.

Generally, a share of a "private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) will not be "taxable Canadian property" to a Non- Resident Shareholder unless, at any particular time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the shares derived more than 50% of their fair market value directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real property situation in Canada, "timber resource property", "Canadian resource property" (each as defined under the Tax Act), or options in respect of, or interests or rights in any of the foregoing.

A disposition or deemed disposition of shares by a Non-Resident Holder whose shares are taxable Canadian property and who is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax convention, will give rise to a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, less the reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost of such shares to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of actual or deemed disposition. Generally, one-half of any capital gain realized will be required to be included in income as a taxable capital gain and will be taxed at applicable Canadian tax rates. One-half of any capital loss will be deductible, subject to certain limitations, against certain taxable capital gains in the year of disposition or the three preceding years or any subsequent year in accordance with the detailed provisions of the Tax Act. Non-Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisers in this regard.


52

(iv) Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed under the Tax Act to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder on New Invictus Shares or Poda Shares will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%. This rate may be reduced in the case of a Non-Resident Holder that is entitled to the protection of an applicable income tax convention.

Invictus Warrantholders and Invictus Optionholders

Invictus Warrantholders and Invictus Optionholders should be aware that the exchange of the Invictus Warrants and Invictus Options as described in this Circular and the Plan of Arrangement may have material tax consequences to the Invictus Warrantholder or Invictus Optionholders, as applicable. Such consequences for Invictus Warrantholders and Invictus Optionholders are not described, and such Invictus Warrantholders or Invictus Optionholders should consult with their own tax advisors for advice regarding the income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

Canadian Securities Laws and Resale of Securities

The following summary is not comprehensive. Each Shareholder is urged to consult such holder's professional advisers to determine the Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the Poda Shares. There may also be restrictions placed on resale of the Poda Shares by the rules and policies of the CSE in the event of any listing of these securities on the CSE. Resale of any securities acquired in connection with the Arrangement may be required to be made through properly registered securities dealers.

Poda will be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec on completion of the Arrangement, and it is the intention of Poda to apply for listing of the Poda Shares on the CSE following completion of the Arrangement provided that Poda has the Poda Required Working Capital on hand.

The issuance of the Poda Shares to Invictus securityholders pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a distribution of securities which is exempt from the registration and prospectus requirements of Canadian securities legislation. The Poda Shares received by Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in each of the provinces and territories of Canada provided that (i) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined in National Instrument 45-102 "Resale of Securities" of the Canadian Securities Administrators, (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for those securities, (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of that sale, and (iv) if the selling securityholder is an insider or officer of Poda, the selling securityholder has no reasonable grounds to believe that Poda is in default of securities legislation.

U.S. Securities Laws and Resale of Securities

THE ARRANGEMENT AND THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED OR EXCHANGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR SECURITIES AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

Invictus is a "foreign private issuer" under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). Invictus' Shares are not registered under the U.S. Exchange Act and, therefore, Invictus is not subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Poda is expected to also be a foreign private issuer. The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Exchange Act. There is currently no trading market for any of the Securities in the United States and no assurance can be given that any such market will develop.


53

The issuance of the Securities to Invictus Shareholders in or subject to the securities laws of the United States ("U.S. Securityholders") and the subsequent resale of the Securities held by U.S. Securityholders will be subject to U.S. securities laws, including the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The following discussion is a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. Securityholders. All U.S. Securityholders are urged to consult with legal counsel to ensure that the resale of the Securities issued to them under the Arrangement complies with applicable securities legislation.

The following discussion does not address the Canadian securities laws that will apply to the issue of the Securities or the resale of the Securities by U.S. Securityholders within Canada. U.S. Securityholders reselling their Securities in Canada must comply with Canadian securities laws, as outlined elsewhere in this Circular.

Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act

If the Arrangement is completed, the Securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act (the "Section 3(a)(10) Exemption") on the basis of the approval of the Court, which will consider, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the Securities will be issued have the right to appear. See Conduct of Meeting and Other Approvals. Accordingly, the issuance of the Securities pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be effected in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. In addition, such Securities have not been and will not be registered under the securities laws of any state of the United States and will be issued only in reliance upon such exemptions as may be available under the securities laws of the applicable states of the United States.

The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercise of securities that were previously issued pursuant to the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. Therefore, the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption is not available to exempt the issuance of New Invictus Shares upon exercise of the New Invictus Stock Options or the issuance of Poda Shares upon exercise of the Poda Stock Options. The New Invictus Stock Options and the Poda Stock Options may be exercised only pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Prior to the issuance of New Invictus Shares by Invictus or Poda Shares by Poda pursuant to any such exercise, Invictus or Poda, as applicable, may require the delivery of an opinion of counsel or other reasonably satisfactory evidence to the effect that the issuance of such shares does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. If required by the U.S. Securities Act, securities issued upon any such exercise may be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and may be required to bear legends describing the applicable resale restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act.

Resale of the Securities within the United States after the Completion of the Arrangement

Persons who are not "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) of Poda or Invictus within 90 days of the Closing of the Arrangement and will not be "affiliates" of Poda or Invictus after the Arrangement may resell the Securities that they receive in connection with the Arrangement in the United States without restriction under the U.S. Securities Act.

Securities received by a holder who was an affiliate within 90 days of the Closing of the Arrangement of Poda or Invictus, as applicable, or will be an "affiliate" of Poda or Invictus, as applicable, after the Arrangement will be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by the U.S. Securities Act. As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the issuer. In general, under Rule 144, persons who are affiliates of Poda or Invictus after the Arrangement will be entitled to sell in the United States, during any three-month period, a portion of the Securities that they receive in connection with the Arrangement, provided that the number of such Securities sold does not exceed one percent of the then outstanding securities of such class.


54

Resale of Securities Pursuant to Regulation S

U.S. Securityholders receiving the Securities on completion of the Arrangement may, under the U.S. Securities Act, resell their Securities in an "offshore transaction" in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act provided the conditions imposed by Rule 904 of Regulation S for offshore resales are satisfied. An "offshore transaction" includes a transaction executed using the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange or CSE, provided the offer of the securities is not made to a person in the United States and, to the knowledge of the seller or any person acting on the seller's behalf, the transaction has not been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States.

The conditions imposed by Regulation S will depend on whether the U.S. Securityholder is an "affiliate" of Poda or Invictus, as applicable, upon completion of the Arrangement.

U.S. Securityholders who are not affiliates of Poda or Invictus, as applicable, after completion of the Arrangement will be entitled to resell their Securities pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S in transactions that are "offshore transactions" provided neither the U.S. Securityholder nor any person acting on the U.S. Securityholder's behalf engages in "directed selling efforts" in the United States. "Directed selling efforts" means any activity undertaken for the purpose, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect, of conditioning the market in the United States for any of the securities being offered in the resale transaction.

The offshore resale provisions of Rule 904 of Regulation S are also available to affiliates of Poda and Invictus, upon completion of the Arrangement, provided the U.S. Securityholder is an affiliate of Poda or Invictus solely by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of Poda or Invictus. These affiliate U.S. Securityholders may sell their Securities by complying with the requirements for offshore resales by non-affiliates, subject to the additional condition that no selling concession, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with such offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker's commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent.

Under Regulation S, certain additional restrictions and qualifications are applicable to holders of the Securities who are affiliates of Poda or Invictus other than by virtue of being its officer and/or director.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal and state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Invictus and Poda are organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, that some or all of their officers and directors are and will be residents of countries other than the United States, that some or all of the experts named in this Circular may be residents of countries other than the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Invictus, Poda and such persons are and will be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Shareholders resident in the United States to effect service of process within the United States upon Invictus or Poda, as applicable, their respective officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize, against them, upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Shareholders resident in the United States should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States; or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States.

Proxy Solicitation Requirements

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Circular is not subject to the requirements of section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are made in the United States in accordance with Canadian corporate laws and Canadian securities law, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canadian securities law. Such requirements are different than those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act. The financial statements of Poda included herein, the financial statements of Invictus incorporated by reference herein and other financial information included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States companies.


55

Tax

This Circular does not address any tax considerations of the Arrangement other than certain Canadian federal income tax considerations to Shareholders. Shareholders resident or subject to tax in any jurisdiction outside of Canada ("Foreign Tax Jurisdiction") should be aware that the Arrangement may have tax consequences to such Shareholder in one or more Foreign Tax Jurisdictions. No tax advice or opinion whatsoever is provided in this Circular to Shareholders with respect to tax considerations involving Foreign Tax Jurisdictions. Shareholders that are resident or subject to tax in any Foreign Tax Jurisdiction are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors with respect to the relevant tax implications of the Arrangement and for advice regarding the specific federal, state, local and foreign tax considerations applicable to them, including, without limitation, any associated filing requirements, in such jurisdictions.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – PODA STOCK OPTION PLAN

As Invictus' stock option plan will not carry forward to Poda, and in contemplation of the Arrangement, if the Arrangement is approved at the Meeting, Shareholders will also be asked to approve the stock option plan (the "Poda Stock Option Plan") to be adopted for Poda at the Meeting if the Arrangement Resolution is approved.

The purpose of the Poda Stock Option Plan is to allow Poda to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants, as additional compensation, and as an opportunity to participate in the success of Poda. The granting of such options is intended to align the interests of such persons with that of the shareholders.

Pursuant to the Poda Stock Option Plan, the directors may from time to time authorize the issue of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Poda and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to Poda or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of Poda Shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Poda Stock Option Plan will be a maximum of 15% of the issued and outstanding Poda Shares at the time of the grant. In addition, the number of Poda Shares which may be reserved for issuance in any 12 month period to any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued Poda Shares or 2% if the optionee is a consultant, and the number of Poda Shares which may be reserved for issuance in any 12 month period to all optionees engaged in investor relations activities may not exceed 2% in the aggregate of the issued Poda Shares on a yearly basis. Options will be exercisable over periods of up to ten years as determined by the Board of Directors of Poda (the "Poda Board") and are required to have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of Poda Shares prevailing on the day that the option is granted less a discount of up to 25%. The Poda Stock Option Plan permits the directors to specify a vesting schedule in their discretion.

The Poda Stock Option Plan provides that if a change of control, as defined therein, occurs, all shares subject to option shall immediately become vested and may thereupon be exercised in whole or in part by the option holder. If the option holder ceases to be an eligible optionee under the Poda Stock Option Plan as a result of early retirement, voluntary resignation, or termination other than for cause, any outstanding options held by such optionee shall be exercisable to acquire vested unissued option shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of: i) the option expiry time; and ii) the date that is 90 days (or 30 days if the optionee was engaged in investor relations activities) after the optionee ceased to be an eligible person under the Poda Stock Option Plan. If the optionee ceases to be an eligible person under the plan as a result of termination for cause, any outstanding options held by such optionee shall be cancelled as of the date of termination.


56

The full text of the Poda Stock Option Plan is available for viewing up to the date of the Meeting during normal business hours at Poda's office at Suite 300, 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, V4B 1C5 and will also be available for review at the Meeting.

Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the approval of the Poda Stock Option Plan.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass a resolution in the following form:

"RESOLVED that:

  1.

subject to completion of the Arrangement and regulatory approval, a stock option plan for Poda Technologies Ltd. ("Poda") be approved pursuant to which the directors may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Poda and its subsidiaries to a maximum of 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant, with a maximum of 5% of Poda's issued and outstanding shares being reserved to any one person on a yearly basis; and

   

 

  2.

any director or officer of Poda is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of Poda, to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution."

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the resolution to approve the Poda Stock Option Plan. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the Shares represented by such form of proxy, properly executed, for the approval of the Poda Stock Option Plan

OTHER MATTERS

Management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice of Meeting.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Poda was incorporated under the BCBCA on January 26, 2015 under the name "Edison Vape Co. Ltd." and changed its name to "Poda Technologies Ltd." on May 19, 2016. Poda is currently a private company and a wholly–owned subsidiary of Invictus. Poda's head office is located at Suite 300, 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, V4B 1C5 and its registered and records office is located at 10th Floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T5. Poda does not currently have a website.

Poda has no subsidiaries.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF PODA

History

Poda was founded in January 2015 by Ryan Selby and Ryan Karkairan (the "Inventors") with the goal of developing a revolutionary vaporization device. Vaporizers or vapor pen products can be loosely defined as any portable device that allows for the vaporization of organic materials, substances extracted from organic materials, other synthetic materials, or combinations of such materials. They appeal to customers because, though there is some concern about additives, extraction methods and pesticides, vaporizers are largely perceived as a healthy alternative to smoking. Beyond that, vaporization products are also considered a discreet, odorless, convenient and economical alternative.

On January 26, 2015, Invictus acquired 40% of the then–outstanding Poda Shares from the Inventors and an option to acquire the remaining 60% of outstanding Poda Shares. Invictus subsequently exercised its option to acquire the remaining 60% of outstanding Poda Shares from the Inventors by entering into a share purchase agreement effective October 31, 2015 pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors were issued an aggregate of 346,667 Invictus Shares of which 166,667 Invictus Shares remain subject to escrow and may not be released until Poda has earned an aggregate of $2.5 million in gross revenues (as to 100,000 Invictus Shares) and an aggregate of $12.5 million in gross revenues (as to the remaining 66,667 Invictus Shares), respectively. Poda also entered into a royalty agreement with the Inventors, whereby the Inventors will receive a royalty in perpetuity equal to 3% of gross sales once Poda achieves cumulative gross revenues in the amount of $500,000.

Business of Poda

Poda has developed a proprietary vaporizer system that offers customers a zero–cleaning, easy–to–use, pre–filled cartridge system for vaporizing dry herbal material and tobacco, as well as extracts and concentrates. Poda has applied for patent protection for pre–filled single–use pods designed to work with the Poda vaporizer device. This innovative technology can be used to vaporize almost any vaporizable substance, including cannabis, tobacco, e–liquids, concentrates, coffee and more. The Poda technology stands apart from previous generations of vaporizers, most of which require cleaning and can only be used effectively for one type of substance.

Poda vaporizers utilize pre–filled pods which provide consumers with economical convenience and consistent performance. Poda's long–term goal is to develop a product selection that will enable consumers to choose Poda pods in a wide range of substances from a variety of quality brands. From vaping a coffee pod in the morning, a tobacco pod in the afternoon, to a cannabis pod in the evening, the Poda system is intended to be "plug–and–play" by simply popping a pod into the device to start vaporizing. When one pod is finished, another one can be immediately loaded into the device without any cleaning or other preparation necessary.

Other pod–based vaporizers currently on the market still require cleaning and do not use biodegradable pods, meaning that each pod is either difficult to recycle or becomes trash in a landfill. Poda pods will be available in completely biodegradable options.


B–3

Poda devices and pods have been designed using industry–leading technology and medical–grade components. Poda plans to launch a number of device models across a variety of price points. Some devices will have the ability to connect to users' smartphones wirelessly, providing granular control of temperature and a wealth of pod–specific information. Different substances, such as cannabis and tobacco, can demand different temperatures to achieve desirable vapor for inhalation. Poda smart devices will detect the appropriate settings for each pod and automatically adjust the temperature to achieve optimal vaping. Alternatively, consumers could design their own temperature profiles and customize a range of other operational parameters. Poda anticipates that devices with smartphone–enabled technology will be released in early 2019 after the initial Poda devices (without smartphone connectivity) enter the market.

All research and development of the devices is conducted in–house. It is estimated that Poda will launch sales of its devices in the next 6 months. To bring the device to market, Poda estimates that it will likely expend a further approximately $1,000,000 in order to launch.

FINANCING / AVAILABLE FUNDS

Poda has not undertaken any financings and does not have any funds as at the date of this Circular, other than the 500,000 to be received from Invictus. See "Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon – The Arrangement – Poda Working Capital Source of Funds" for information regarding the expected funding of Poda.

Invictus will bear all the costs of the Arrangement, including costs associated with the incorporation of Poda and the preparation of the financial statements of Poda for this Circular.

It is expected that only the Poda Minimum Working Capital will be funded prior to completion of the Arrangement. Poda anticipates that it will use the Poda Minimum Working Capital to pay for its administrative expenses and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining a listing of the Poda Shares on the CSE and other minimum working capital requirements.

The estimated Poda Required Working Capital is comprised of the following estimated funding requirements:

    Maximum  
To pay estimated administrative expenses for 12 months $ 375,000  
To pay for regulatory and filing fees $ 50,000  
Unallocated working capital $ 75,000  
TOTAL: $ 500,000  

However, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re–allocation of funds may be necessary.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

Poda has not paid dividends since its incorporation. Poda anticipates that it will retain all available funds, if any, for use in its business and does not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Poda for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018 and for the periods ended April 30, 2017 and 2018 are attached as Appendix "J" to the Circular. The attached Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Poda Annual Financial Statements and Poda Interim Financial Statements together with the notes thereto, which are attached as Appendix "C–1" and Appendix "C–2" to the Circular.


B–4

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

Currently, the authorized capital of Poda consists of an unlimited number of Class A Common shares ("Poda Shares"), of which 100,000 Poda Shares are issued and outstanding and held by Invictus.

On completion of the Arrangement, it is anticipated that there will be 96,623,857 Poda Shares outstanding (which assumes that no Invictus Options or Invictus Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Date and no Invictus Shares are issued from treasury prior to the Effective Date). Invictus Shareholders will own all of the outstanding Poda Shares on completion of the Arrangement, except any Poda Shares attributable to Invictus Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately to be paid fair value for their dissenting Invictus Shares, which shares will be retained by Invictus and dealt with as determined by the board of directors of Invictus in its discretion pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. However, if a Poda equity financing ("Poda Financing") is completed following the completion of the Arrangement additional Poda Shares will be issued to investors and may be issued to underwriters and other agents as a finders' fee or commission, which will increase the number of Poda Shares outstanding and will be dilutive to Shareholders' holdings in Poda. In addition, warrants or other securities that entitle the holder to purchase Poda Shares may be issued in connection with a Poda Financing and, if exercised, such convertible securities would further dilute Shareholders' holdings in Poda.

There are no outstanding convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities of Poda. The directors of Poda do not intend to grant any incentive stock options prior to completion of the Arrangement.

Holders of Poda Shares ("Poda Shareholders") are entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of shareholders, to receive dividends as and when declared by the directors and to receive a pro rata share of the assets of Poda available for distribution to Poda Shareholders in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding–up of Poda. All rank pari passu, each with the other, as to all benefits which might accrue to the holders of common shares.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

The following table and the notes thereto set forth the share and loan capital of Poda as at the dates specified therein.

Designation of Security Amount Outstanding as of
January 31, 2018
Amount outstanding
assuming completion
of the Arrangement
Poda Shares 100,000 common shares 96,623,857 (1)(2)(3)
Poda Stock Options 9,498,000 9,498,000
Poda shares issuable upon exercise of Invictus Warrants Nil 4,365,595
Convertible Debt Nil Nil
Long term debt $973,279 $973,279

  (1)

This figure assumes that no securities are issued from treasury by Invictus prior to the Effective Date.

  (2)

If all existing Invictus Options are exercised prior to the Effective Date, this number would increase to 106,121,857.

  (3)

If a Poda Financing is completed following the completion of the Arrangement, additional Poda Shares will be issued to investors and may be issued to underwriters and other agents as a finders' fee or commission, which will increase the number of Poda Shares outstanding and will be dilutive to Shareholders' holdings in Poda. In addition, warrants or other securities that entitle the holder to purchase Poda Shares may be issued in connection with a Poda Financing and, if exercised, such convertible securities would further dilute Shareholders' holdings in Poda.

OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each Invictus Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be exchanged for a New Invictus Stock Option and a Poda Stock Option. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, assuming no Invictus convertible securities are exercised, approximately 9,498,000 Poda Stock Options will be issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information with respect to the outstanding Poda Stock Options that have been issued to directors and officers of Poda, each as a group:

PRIOR SALES

No common shares of the Poda were issued or sold in the 12 months period before the date of this disclosure.

ESCROWED SECURITIES AND SECURITIES SUBJECT TO RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER

As at the date of this Circular, no Poda Shares are held in escrow or are subject to a contractual restriction on transfer.

There is currently no market through which the Poda Shares may be sold and, unless the Poda Shares are listed on a stock exchange and a sufficient trading market for the Poda Shares develops, shareholders may not be able to resell the Poda Shares. There is no assurance that the Poda Shares will be listed on a stock exchange or that such a trading market will develop.

PRINCIPAL SECURITYHOLDERS

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of Poda, no person, upon completion of the Arrangement, will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, shares carrying more than 10% of voting rights attached to each class of the then outstanding voting securities of Poda except as set out in the table below, which assumes that the shareholding of each individual as at the date of this Circular will not change prior to completion of the Arrangement and that 96,623,857 Poda Shares will be outstanding upon completion of the Arrangement (see "Consolidated Capitalization" above).

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The directors of Poda are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Poda and to disclose any interests, which they may have in any project or opportunity of Poda. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter.

To the best of Poda's knowledge, and other than disclosed herein, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among Poda, its promoters, directors and officers or other members of management of Poda or of any proposed promoter, director, officer or other member of management as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to Poda and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.

B–9

Compensation of Directors

Poda has no arrangements, standard or otherwise, pursuant to which directors are compensated by Poda for their services in their capacity as directors, or for committee participation, involvement in special assignments or for services as consultant or expert during the most recently completed financial year or subsequently, up to and including the date of this Circular.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

Since its incorporation and as of the date of this Circular, no director, officer or employee, or former director, officer or employee, of Poda, or any associate or affiliate of any such director, officer or employee, has been indebted to Poda, and Poda has not provided any guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding.

AGENT, SPONSOR OR ADVISOR

No agent, sponsor or advisor has been retained by Poda.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Audit Committee of Poda will oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of Poda and its subsidiaries and all audits and external reviews of the financial statements of Poda on behalf of the Poda Board, and will have general responsibility for oversight of internal controls, accounting and auditing activities of Poda and its subsidiaries. All auditing services and non–audit services to be provided to by Poda's auditors will be pre–approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be responsible for examining all financial information, including annual and quarterly financial statements, prepared for securities commissions and similar regulatory bodies prior to filing or delivery of the same. The Audit Committee will also oversee the annual audit process, quarterly review engagements, Poda's internal accounting controls, any complaints and concerns regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and the resolution of issues identified by Poda's external auditors. The Audit Committee will recommend to the Poda Board the firm of independent auditors to be nominated for appointment by Poda's shareholders and the compensation of the auditors. The Audit Committee is expected to meet a minimum of four times per year. It is expected that Poda will continue to use Invictus' Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is attached as Appendix I to this Circular.

External Auditor Service Fees

For fees billed by Invictus' external auditors in each of the last two financial years for audit and non–audit related services provided to Invictus, please see "Audit Committee External Auditors Service Fees (By Category)" in the Circular.

Corporate Governance

General

The Poda Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. National Policy 58–201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non–prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as Poda. In addition, National Instrument 58–101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58101") prescribes certain disclosure by Poda of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

Board of Directors

The Poda Board intends to facilitate its exercise of independent supervision over Poda’s management through frequent meetings of the Poda Board.

The Poda Board is comprised of three (3) directors, of whom Russell Henderson is independent for the purposes of NI 58– 101. Ryan Selby and Ryan Karkairan are not independent since they serves as officers of Poda.

Orientation and Continuing Education

New Poda Board members will receive an orientation package, which includes reports on operations and results, and public disclosure filings by Poda. Poda Board meetings will at times be held at Poda’s office and, from time to time, are combined with presentations by Poda’s management to give the directors additional insight into Poda’s business. In addition, management of Poda makes itself available for discussion with all Poda Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Poda Board has fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by Poda’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Poda Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Poda Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of Poda.

Nomination of Directors

The Poda Board plans to consider its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Poda Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.


B–12

The Poda Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions will be performed by the Poda Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by Poda, this policy will be reviewed.

Compensation Governance

Poda does not have a separate compensation committee, so the entire Poda Board will be responsible for, among other things, evaluating the performance of Poda’s executive officers, determining or making recommendations with respect to the compensation of Poda’s executive officers, making recommendations with respect to director compensation, incentive compensation plans and equity–based plans, making recommendations with respect to the compensation policy for the employees of Poda or its subsidiaries and ensuring that Poda’s is in compliance with all legal requirements with respect to compensation disclosure. In performing its duties, the Poda Board has the authority to engage such advisors, including executive compensation consultants, as it considers necessary.

The Poda Board is currently comprised of Ryan Selby, Ryan Karkairan and Russell Henderson. Russell Henderson is an independent director within the meaning set out in NI 58–101. Ryan Selby and Ryan Karkairan are not independent as they serve as officers of Poda. All members of the Board are experienced participants in business or finance, and have sat on the board of directors of other companies, charities or business associations, in addition to the Poda Board.

The Poda Board does not have a pre–determined compensation plan. Poda anticipates that it will not engage in benchmarking practices and the process for determining executive compensation will be at the discretion of the Poda Board.

The Poda Board has not engaged the services of independent compensation consultants to assist it by making recommendations to the Poda Board with respect to director and executive officer compensation.

Other Board Committees

The Poda Board has no committees, other than the Audit Committee. After completion of the Arrangement, the Poda Board may create such management committees as it deems necessary and shall appoint the respective members of each committee in the ordinary course.

Assessments

Due to the minimal size of the Poda Board, no formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this Circular, there are a number of factors that could negatively affect Poda's business and the value of the Poda Shares. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with Poda and other factors may arise in the future that are currently not foreseen by management of Poda that may present additional risks in the future. The following factors should be considered carefully when considering risk related to Poda's proposed business:

Possible NonCompletion of Funding of Poda; Financing Risks

If Invictus and Poda receive all required approvals for the completion of the Arrangement the directors of Invictus and Poda may proceed with the Arrangement notwithstanding that the Poda Required Working Capital will likely not be funded or arranged to be funded prior to completion of the Arrangement. Poda's working capital on completion of the Arrangement may only be the Poda Minimum Working Capital, and there is no assurance that a Poda Financing will be completed or that the Poda Required Working Capital will otherwise be funded, or that Poda will be able to raise any additional funds at all. If the Poda Required Working Capital is not funded prior to completion of the Arrangement, and Poda is not able to obtain funding after the completion of the Arrangement, the Poda Shares will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange.


B–13

Even if the Poda Required Working Capital is funded, additional funding will be required to launch sales of its vaporization devices and to conduct other operations of Poda. The only sources of future funds presently available to Poda are the Poda Minimum Working Capital. There is no assurance that any such funds will be available. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause Poda to reduce or terminate its operations.

Nature of the Securities and No Assurance of any Listing

Poda Shares are not currently listed on any stock exchange and there is no assurance that the shares will be listed. Even if a listing is obtained, the holding of Poda Shares will involve a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Poda Shares should not be purchased by persons who cannot afford the possibility of the loss of their entire investment. Furthermore, an investment in securities of Poda should not constitute a major portion of an investor's portfolio.

Possible NonCompletion of Arrangement

There is no assurance that the Arrangement will receive regulatory, court or shareholder approval or will complete. If the Arrangement does not complete, Poda will remain a private company and wholly–owned subsidiary of Invictus. If the Arrangement does complete, Poda Shareholders (which will consist of Invictus Shareholders who receive Poda Shares) will be subject to the risk factors described below.

Limited Operating History

Poda was incorporated on January 26, 2015 and has a limited operating history.

Dependence on Management

Poda is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing directors and officers. If one or more of Poda's directors or executive officers become unavailable for any reason, a severe disruption to the business and operations of Poda could result, and Poda may not be able to replace them readily, if at all.

Conflicts of Interest

The directors and officers of Poda are, and may continue to be, involved in the vaporization industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of Poda, including Invictus. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions in investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of Poda. Directors and officers of Poda with conflicts of interest will be subject to the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulation, rules and policies.

No History of Earnings

Poda has no history of earnings or of a return on investment, and there is no assurance that any business that Poda may develop, acquire or undertake will generate earnings, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future. Poda has no plans to pay dividends. The future dividend policy of Poda will be determined by the Poda Board.

Competition

The vaporization industry is highly competitive. Poda will compete with other domestic and international vaporization companies that have greater financial and human resources.


B–14

Dilution

Issuances of additional securities including, but not limited to, issuances of common shares or convertible securities of Poda pursuant to a Poda Financing or otherwise or issuance of convertible debentures or similar securities, will result in a substantial dilution of the equity interests of any persons who may become Poda Shareholders as a result of or subsequent to the Arrangement.

Product Liability

As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, Poda faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of products sold or marketed by Poda, alone or in combination with other medications or substances, could occur. A product liability claim or regulatory action against Poda could result in increased costs, could adversely affect Poda's reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of Poda. There can be no assurances that Poda will be able to maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms or at all. The inability to maintain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of Poda's potential products or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of Poda.

Product Recalls

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. Such recalls can cause unexpected expenses, legal proceedings and the loss of a significant amount of sales. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention, and the reputation of the recalled product’s brand and Poda could be harmed. Additionally, product recalls can lead to increased scrutiny of operations by applicable regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses

PROMOTER

Invictus took the initiative in Poda's organization and, accordingly, may be considered to be the promoter of Poda within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Invictus will not, at the closing of the Arrangement, beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, any Poda Shares.

During the period from incorporation to and including the closing of the Arrangement, the only material thing of value which Invictus has or will receive from Poda is the Poda Shares to be issued to Invictus, which Poda Shares will be distributed to the Shareholders in the Arrangement.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)



INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Poda Technologies Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Poda Technologies Ltd. which comprise the statements of financial position as at January 31, 2018 and 2017, the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Poda Technologies Ltd. as at January 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Poda Technologies Ltd. to continue as a going concern.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Poda Technologies Ltd. (formerly Edison Vape Co. Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 26, 2015. The Company’s principal business activity is the design, development and production of a new and improved technology to vaporize cannabis and other materials.

The head office is located at 300 – 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, V4B 1C5, and the registered and records office is located at 10th floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T5.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for a reasonable period of time. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $98,757 as at January 31, 2018 (2017 - $68,645) which has been funded primarily by advances from related parties. There is a material uncertainty related to these conditions that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to generate profitable operations in the future. The Company has been successful in the past in raising funds for operations by receiving advances from related parties. The Company anticipates that its parent company, Invictus MD Strategies Corp., will also be able to provide future cash flows to assist with the Company’s continued operations. The Company anticipates commencing production of its vaporizers and pods using the funds on hand and available from its parent company in fiscal 2019.

BASIS OF PREPARATION


  a)

Statement of compliance

   

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

   

 

 

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2018.

   

 

  b)

Basis of measurement

   

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as disclosed in Note 3.

   

 

 

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

   

 

 

The preparation of these financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


  a)

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these financial statement requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

Significant accounting estimates

  i.

the measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; and

     
  ii.

inputs used in impairment calculations;

Significant accounting judgment

  i.

the evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

     
  ii.

assessment of indications of impairment; and

     
  iii.

the determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities


  b)

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


  c)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the statements of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Fair value through profit or loss - This category comprises derivatives or financial assets acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Company’s cash is classified as fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and receivables - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortized cost less any provision for impairment. Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The Company does not have any assets classified as loans and receivables.

Held-to-maturity - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings and other relevant indicators, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not have any assets classified as held-to-maturity.

Available-for-sale - Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset constitutes objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not have any assets held classified as available-for-sale.

Transaction costs associated with fair value through profit or loss financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered, to determine where impairment has arisen.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


  d)

Financial instruments (continued)

   

 

 

Financial liabilities

   

 

 

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was incurred. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

   

 

 

Fair value through profit or loss - This category comprises derivatives or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not have any financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss.

   

 

 

Other financial liabilities - This category includes trade and other payables. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies its accounts payable and due to related parties as other financial liabilities.

   

 

  e)

Share capital

   

 

 

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and common share warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are measured based on their market value at the date the common shares are issued.

   

 

 

The Company has adopted the relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as equity units. The relative fair value method requires an allocation of the net proceeds received based on the pro rata relative fair value of the components. If and when the warrants are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts are transferred from reserve for warrants to share capital.

   

 

  f)

Earnings (loss) per share

   

 

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the periods presented.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


  g)

Impairment of long-lived assets

   

 

 

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

   

 

  h)

Intangible assets

   

 

 

Intangible assets consist mainly of trademarks, pending patents and prototype development costs, including certain intellectual property. Acquired trademarks, patents and development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment. Any impairment of intangible assets is recognized in the statement of operation and comprehensive loss but increases in intangible asset values are not recognized.

   

 

 

Estimated useful lives of intangible assets are shorter of the economic life and the period the right is legally enforceable. The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.

   

 

  i)

Research and development

   

 

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

Fair values

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s statement of financial position as at January 31, 2018, as follows:

            January 31, 2018  
      Carrying                    
      value     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
                 
  Cash   19,582     19,582     -     -  

                  January 31, 2017        
      Carrying                    
      value     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
     $    $    $    
  Cash   2,580     2,580     -     -  

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure on outstanding GST and taxes recoverable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. GST and taxes recoverable consist of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company has minimal financial assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

     
  (ii)

To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature and maturity. The Company’s amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

9.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of all components of shareholder’s equity.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issuances or by undertaking other activities, as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended January 31, 2017.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Poda Technologies Ltd. (formerly Edison Vape Co. Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 26, 2015. The Company’s principal business activity is the design, development and production of a new and improved technology to vaporize cannabis and other materials.

The head office is located at 300 – 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, V4B 1C5, and the registered and records office is located at 10th floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T5.

2.

BASIS OF PREPARATION


  a)

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In preparation of these condensed interim financial statements, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018, with the exception of the new accounting standards adopted in the current year, as described below.

These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2018.

  b)

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018.

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018.

The notes presented in these condensed interim financial statements include, in general, only significant changes and transactions occurring since January 31, 2018. As such, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New accounting standards adopted effective February 1, 2018

As of February 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new and amended IFRS pronouncements in accordance with transitional provisions outlined in the respective standards. The Company has adopted the following new standards without any significant effect on its financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted amendments to IFRS 2, “Share-based Payment”. The amendments provide clarification on how to account for certain types of share-based transactions. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a single forward-looking expected credit loss impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The Company adopted a retrospective approach and as IFRS 9 did not impact the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities there was no significant impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at the transition date. The introduction of the new expected credit loss impairment model did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The objective of IFRS 15 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. It also contains new disclosure requirements. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a full retrospective approach. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the period ended April 30, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases

The Company has not early adopted these new or amended standards and does not expect them to have a material effect on the Company’s future results and financial position.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure on outstanding GST and taxes recoverable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. GST and taxes recoverable consist of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company has minimal financial assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  (i)

To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

     
  (ii)

To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature and maturity. The Company’s amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

8.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of all components of shareholders equity.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended January 31, 2018.

ARTICLE 3 ARRANGEMENT

3.01

The Arrangement

On the Effective Date, the following shall occur and be deemed to occur in the following order without any further act or formality:

(a)

the outstanding Poda Shares will be subdivided such that the number of Poda Shares outstanding immediately following such subdivision shall be equal to the number of issued and outstanding Invictus Shares as at the Effective Date;

   
(b)

the authorized capital of Invictus will be amended by:


  (i)

the elimination of the Invictus Class A Preferred Shares from the authorized share structure of Invictus;

     
  (ii)

the alteration of the Invictus Shares by changing their identifying name to "Class A" common shares (the "Old Invictus Shares"); and

     
  (iii)

the creation of an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the "New Invictus Shares") having attached thereto the special rights and restrictions set out in Schedule A hereto,

and the Notice of Articles and the Articles of Invictus will be amended accordingly;

(c)

each Invictus Stock Option outstanding immediately before the Effective Date will be exchanged for:


  (i)

a stock option to be issued by Invictus (a "New Invictus Stock Option") pursuant to which:



F-4

  (A)

the holder of the New Invictus Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option, that number of New Invictus Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement, if immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was therefore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (B)

the exercise price per New Invictus Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one New Invictus Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value; and


  (ii)

a stock option to be issued by Poda (a "Poda Stock Option") pursuant to which:


  (A)

the holder of the Poda Stock Option will be entitled to acquire, upon exercise of the Poda Stock Option, that number of Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (B)

the exercise price per Poda Share will be equal to the product of: (1) the exercise price of the Invictus Stock Option determined immediately before the Effective Time; and (2) the proportion that the fair market value of one Poda Share determined immediately after the Effective Time is of the Aggregate Value.

It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of an Invictus Stock Option for a New Invictus Stock Option and a Poda Stock Option. Therefore, in the event that the aggregate of:

  (1)

the New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option; and

     
  (2)

the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option

exceeds the Old Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option, the number of (i) New Invictus Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the New Invictus Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, and (ii) Poda Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Poda Stock Option at and after the Effective Time, will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the aggregate of the (i) New Invictus Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option, and (ii) the Poda Stock Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of an Invictus Stock Option does not exceed the Old Invictus Stock Option-In The Money Amount in respect of the Invictus Stock Option and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Except as set out above and herein, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule, the status under applicable laws, and all other terms and conditions of the New Invictus Stock Options and Poda Stock Options will otherwise be unchanged from those contained in or otherwise applicable to the related Invictus Stock Option except that:

  (A)

all Poda Stock Options issued hereunder shall vest and become exercisable in full on the Effective Date; and



F-5

  (B)

the holders of Poda Stock Options will not be entitled, on exercise, to receive Poda Shares if such Poda Stock Options are exercised (1) more than one year following the Effective Date of the Arrangement in the event the holder is not eligible to participate in Poda’s stock option plan following the Effective Date; or (2) more than 90 days (or 30 days if the holder was engaged in Investor Relations Activities, as such term is defined in the stock option plan of Poda) following the date on which such holder, following the completion of the Arrangement, ceases to be eligible to participate in Poda's stock option plan; and (3) all Poda Stock Options issued hereunder shall otherwise be governed by and subject to the terms of the Poda's stock option plan);


(d)

each issued Invictus Share held by a Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) will be transferred to Invictus in exchange for:


  (i)

one New Invictus Share; and

     
  (ii)

one Poda Share;


(e)

each issued Invictus Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder will be acquired by Invictus in consideration for Invictus agreeing to pay the amount to be paid as determined in accordance with Article 4 of this Plan of Arrangement in respect of the dissenting shares;

   
(f)

the authorized capital of Invictus will be amended by eliminating the Old Invictus Shares from the authorized share structure of Invictus and the Notice of Articles and Articles of Invictus will be amended accordingly;

   
(g)

in accordance with the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates, (A) each holder of an Invictus Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise of such holder's Invictus Warrant, in lieu of each Invictus Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Warrants; and (B) such Invictus Warrant shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates.

The board of directors of Invictus may, in its absolute discretion, determine whether or not to proceed with the Arrangement without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders.

ARTICLE 4 RIGHTS OF DISSENT

4.01

Holders of Invictus Shares may exercise rights of dissent pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the Act provided that the notice of dissent is given by 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on the day which is two business days immediately preceding the date of the Invictus Meeting or the day otherwise ordered by the Court and this Section 4.01 in connection with the Arrangement, and holders who duly exercise such rights of dissent and who:

5.04

Invictus Warrants


(a)

After the Effective Time, and in accordance with the terms of the Invictus Warrant Certificates, each holder of an Invictus Warrant shall receive upon the subsequent exercise of such holder's Invictus Warrant, in accordance with its terms, and shall accept in lieu of each Invictus Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of New Invictus Shares and Poda Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Invictus Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Invictus Warrant.

   
(b)

  (ii)

99% of the exercise price to the New Invictus Shares issued upon such exercise.

2.2

Poda Technologies Ltd.

Poda, formerly The Edison Vape Co. Ltd., has developed a proprietary vaporizer system that offers customers a zero-cleaning, easy-to-use, pre-filled cartridge system for vaporizing dry herbal material and tobacco. PTL has applied for patent protection for re-filled single-use pods designed to work with the Poda vaporizer device.

Vaporizers or vapor pen products can be loosely defined as any portable device that allows for the vaporization of cannabis concentrates. They appeal to customers because, though there is some concern about additives, extraction methods, and pesticides, vapor pens are largely perceived as a healthy alternative to smoking flower. Beyond that, they're also considered a discreet, odorless, convenient, and economical alternative to flower.

On January 26, 2015, the Public Company acquired 40% of the common shares of Poda along with an option to purchase the remaining 60%. On October 31, 2015, the Public Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining 60% of the shares in Poda.

As part of the purchase agreement, Poda and the inventors entered into a royalty agreement, whereby the inventors will receive a royalty in perpetuity equal to 3% of gross sales once Poda achieves cumulative gross revenue in the amount of $500,000.

On May 15, 2018 Invictus announced the summer 2018 launch of Poda - the world's first zero-cleaning vaporizer system. Poda is an innovative technology that can be used to vaporize almost any vaporizable substance, including cannabis, tobacco, e-liquids, concentrates, coffee and more. The Poda technology stands apart from previous generations of vaporizers, most of which require cleaning and can only be used effectively for one type of substance. While the Public Company intended the launch for the summer of 2018, manufacturing of the Poda pods and devices had not yet commenced as of the date of the Report.

EVANS & EVANS, INC.



Invictus MD Strategies Corp. — Poda Technologies ltd.  
Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 7

Poda vaporizers utilize pre-filled pods which provide consumers with economical convenience and consistent performance. PTL's long-term goal is to develop a product selection that will enable consumers can to choose Poda pods in a wide range of substances from a variety of quality brands. From vaping a coffee pod in the morning, a tobacco pod in the afternoon, to a cannabis pod in the evening, the Poda system will be plug-and-play — just pop a pod into the device and start vaporizing. When the pod is finished, another one can be immediately loaded into the device without any cleaning or prep needed.

Other pod-based vaporizers currently on the market still require cleaning and do not use biodegradable pods, meaning every pod is either difficult to recycle or becomes trash in a landfill. Not only is Poda zero-cleaning, Poda pods are available in completely biodegradable options.

Poda, designed using industry-leading technology and medical-grade components, will launch a number of device models across a variety of price points. Some devices will have the ability to connect to users' smartphones via Bluetooth, providing granular control of temperature and a wealth of pod-specific information. Different substances, like cannabis and tobacco, can demand different temperatures to achieve desirable vapor for inhalation. Poda smart devices can detect the proper settings for each pod and can automatically adjust the temperature to achieve optimal vaping. Alternatively, consumers will be able to design their own temperature profiles and customize a wide range of other operational parameters. Poda devices with smartphone-enabled technology are set to be released later in 2019 after the initial Poda devices (without smartphone connectivity) enter the market.

Poda has not generated any revenues as at the Valuation Date and does not anticipate generating revenues until quarter four calendar 2018 or quarter one, calendar 2019.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

lnvictus is currently considering a proposal to undertake a spin-out transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") pursuant to which the assets of Invictus will be separated into two companies as a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2004B (the "Act"). The Proposed Transaction involves the following steps:

  The outstanding Poda shares will be subdivided such that the number of Poda shares outstanding immediately following such subdivision shall be equal to the number of issued and outstanding Invictus shares.
     
 

The authorized capital of Invictus will be amended by: the elimination of the Invictus Class A Preferred Shares from the authorized share structure of Invictus; the alteration of the Invictus shares by changing their identifying name to "Class A" common shares (the "Old Invictus Shares"); and the creation of an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the "New Invictus Shares").


EVANS & EVANS, INC.



Invictus MD Strategies Corp. — Poda Technologies ltd.  
Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 8

  Each issued Invictus share held by a Shareholder will be transferred to Invictus in exchange for: one New Invictus Share; and one Poda Share.
     
 

Invictus will transfer funds to Poda such that Poda will have at least a sufficient amount of working capital (the "Poda Required Working Capital") on hand at the close of the Proposed Transaction to carry out its work plan or achieve its stated objectives for the 12 months following the closing of the Proposed Transaction.

     
  The New Invictus Shares will continue to be listed on the TSX-V upon completion of the Arrangement.
     
  Each Invictus stock option outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Arrangement will be exchanged for a new Invictus stock option and a Poda stock option.
     
 

Each holder of an Invictus warrant outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Arrangement shall receive, upon the exercise of such Invictus warrant, the number of new Invictus shares and Poda shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the completion of the Arrangement in lieu of each Invictus share to which such holder would have received under the original terms of the warrant.

     
  Poda will be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
     
  Poda will seek a listing on a recognized Canadian stock exchange and management estimates the timing ofsuch application will be prior to year-end calendar 2018.

The Proposed Transaction has not yet been publicly announced as of the date of the Report.

ASSUMPTIONS OF THE REPORT

The authors of the Report have made the following assumptions in completing the Report:

  (1)

An audit of Poda's financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2017 and the 16 months ended May 31, 2018 would not result in any material change to the management-prepared financial statements provided to the authors of the Report.

     
  (2) As at the Valuation Date all assets and liabilities of the Public Company and Poda have been recorded in their accounts and financial statements and follow International Financial Reporting Standards.
     
  (3) The book value of the Public Company's and Poda's assets at the Valuation Date equaled their fair market value unless otherwise noted.
     
  (4)

Poda has no outstanding third-party debt as of the completion of the Proposed Transaction. However, Poda will repay approximately $1.0 million in development costs to Invictus, with the terms of such repayment under negotiation as of the date of the Report.

     
  (5) At the close of the Proposed Transaction Poda has sufficient working capital on-hand to achieve its 12-month business objectives.
     
  (6) The Public Company and Poda have satisfactory title to all their assets, intellectual property and there are no liens or encumbrances on such assets nor have any assets been pledged in any way.
     
  (7) The five-year forecast for Poda as provided by management represents management's best estimate of the future economic performance of the assets held by Poda as at the Valuation Date.
     
  (8)

Evans & Evans has assumed there were no material changes in the financial position of Poda and Invictus between the date of the most recent financial statements (May 31, 2018(Poda) and April 30 (Invictus)) and June 30, 2018 (the "Fairness Date") unless noted and outlined in the Report.

     
  (9)

We have assumed that the information which is contained in the Report, is accurate, correct and complete, and that there are no material omissions of information that would affect the conclusions contained in the Report that the Public Company is aware of. Evans & Evans did not attempt to verify the accuracy or completeness of the data and information available.

     
  (10)

The Public Company and all its related parties and their principals had no contingent liabilities, unusual contractual arrangements, or substantial commitments, other than in the ordinary course of business, nor litigation pending or threatened, nor judgments rendered against, other than those disclosed by management and included in the Report that would affect the evaluation or comment.

DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE

In this Report, fair market value is defined as the highest price available in an open and unrestricted market between informed and prudent parties, acting at arms' length and under no compulsion to act, expressed in terms of cash.

With respect to the market for the shares of a company viewed "en bloc" there are, in essence, as many "prices" for any business interest as there are purchasers and each purchaser for a particular "pool of assets", be it represented by overlying shares or the assets themselves, can likely pay a price unique to it because of its ability to utilize the assets in a manner peculiar to it. In any open market transaction, a purchaser will review a potential acquisition in relation to what economies of scale (e.g., reduced or eliminated competition, ensured source of material supply or sales, cost savings arising on business combinations following acquisitions, and so on), or "synergies" that may result from such an acquisition.

Theoretically, each corporate purchaser can be presumed to be able to enjoy such economies of scale in differing degrees and therefore each purchaser could pay a different price for a particular pool of assets than can each other purchaser. Based on the authors of the Report's experience, it is only in negotiations with such a special purchaser that potential synergies can be quantified and even then, the purchaser is generally in a better position to quantify the value of any special benefits than is the vendor.

In this engagement Evans & Evans was not able to expose the Public Company or Poda for sale in the open market and was therefore unable to determine the existence of any special interest purchasers who might be prepared to pay a price equal or greater than the fair market value (assuming the existence of special interest purchasers) outlined in the Report. As noted above, special interest purchasers might be prepared to pay a price higher than fair market value for the synergies noted above. The shares of Invictus and Poda have initially been valued en bloc.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS - INVICTUS

 
8.1

Historical Financial Results

The authors of the Report reviewed the financial statements of the Public Company for the years ended January 31, 2016 to 2018 and the three months ended April 30, 2018. The financial statements are summarized in Schedule 1.0 — Invictus Historical Financial Statements. Evans & Evans has common-sized the results to indicate trends in Schedule 1.0.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS - PODA

 
9.1

Historical Financial Results

The authors of the Report reviewed the financial statements of the Poda for the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2017 and the 16 months ended May 31, 2018. The financial statements are summarized in Schedule 2.0 — Poda Historical Financial Statements. Evans & Evans has common-sized the results to indicate trends in Schedule 2.0.

9.2

Financial Plan

Evans & Evans reviewed the management-prepared forecast for Poda for the FYs 2019 to 2023 as outlined in Schedule 3.0.

9.3

Tangible Asset Backing

In determining the underlying book value of a company or business, it is useful to view the tangible asset backing ("TAB") as at the Valuation Date. The value of a firm's tangible assets affects a purchaser's analysis of the risk inherent in investing in that firm. TAB is defined as the aggregate fair market value of all tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business, where the latter have values that can be separately determined under a going-concern assumption, minus all liabilities.

Tangible assets represent the assets required in operations such as fixed assets and working capital net of operating liabilities such as bank debt. Identifiable intangible assets are assets such as patents, trademarks, customer relationships and licenses.

TAB provides insight into the risk associated with the particular investment because, in a worst-case scenario, the net tangible assets of the company could be sold. The proceeds realized could then be used to relieve the liabilities of the company and recoup shareholder investment. The TAB also provides an indication of the capital investment required to enter the market. In this case, the TAB provides an indication of the potential financial barrier to entry for new competitors.

Valuation theory holds that tangible asset backing is relevant, given the higher TAB, generally the higher the value of a firm.

Evans & Evans reviewed PTL's May 31, 2018 balance sheet and thereafter made certain adjustments to arrive at the tangible asset backing of Poda as at the Valuation Date. The TAB of Poda as calculated in Schedule 4.0 — Poda Tangible Asset Backing is -$1,164,000.

9.4

Redundant Assets

Redundant assets are defined as those assets that are not required in the day-to-day operation of a business, and accordingly can be liquidated or put to some alternative use without risk to the business.

EVANS & EVANS, INC.

Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 15

The fair market value of a corporation's redundant assets increases the fair market value of its shares otherwise determined under an income-based and/or asset-based approach. Alternatively, at the Valuation Date, a firm's capital structure may be over-levered when compared to industry norms. The degree of over-leverage is considered a negative redundancy and must be adjusted for in determining the firm's fair market value.

Evans & Evans examined Poda's balance sheet and found no positive or negative redundancies. Amounts due to Invictus have no current fixed terms of repayment.

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

 
10.1

Going Concern versus Liquidation Value

The first stage in determining which approach to utilize in valuing a company or an asset is to determine whether the company/asset is a going concern or whether it should be valued based on a liquidation assumption. A business is deemed to be a going concern if it is both conducting operations at a given date and has every reasonable expectation of doing so for the foreseeable future after that date. If a company/asset is deemed to not be a going concern, it is valued based on a liquidation assumption.

10.2

Overview

In valuing an asset and/or a business, there is no single or specific mathematical formula. The particular approach and the factors to consider will vary in each case. Where there is evidence of open market transactions having occurred involving the shares, or operating assets, of a business interest, those transactions may often form the basis for establishing the value of the company / asset. In the absence of open market transactions, the three basic, generally-accepted approaches for valuing a business interest are:

  (a)

The Income / Cash Flow Approach;

     
  (b)

The Market Approach; and

     
  (c)

The Cost or Asset-Based Approach.

A summary of these generally-accepted valuation approaches is provided below.

The Income/Cash Flow Approach is a general way of determining a value indication of a business (or its underlying assets), using one or more methods wherein a value is determined by capitalizing or discounting anticipated future benefits. This approach contemplates the continuation of the operations, as if the business is a "going concern".

The Market Approach to valuation is a general way of determining a value indication of a business or an equity interest therein using one or more methods that compare the subject entity to similar businesses, business ownership interests and securities (investments) that have been sold. Examples of methods applied under this approach include, as appropriate: (a) the "Guideline Company Method", (b) the "Merger and Acquisition Method"; and (c) analyses of prior transactions of ownership interests in the subject entity.

EVANS & EVANS, INC.

Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 16

The Cost Approach is based upon the economic principle of substitution. This basic economic principle asserts that an informed, prudent purchaser will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an opportunity of equal utility (that is, either purchase or construct a similar asset). From an economic perspective, a purchaser will consider the costs that they will avoid and use this as a basis for value. The Cost Approach typically includes a comprehensive and all- inclusive definition of the cost to recreate an asset. Typically, the definition of cost includes the direct material, labor and overhead costs, indirect administrative costs, and all forms of obsolescence applicable to the asset.

The Asset-Based Approach is adopted where either: (a) liquidation is contemplated because the business is not viable as an ongoing operation; (b) the nature of the business is such that asset values constitute the prime determinant of corporate worth (e.g., vacant land, a portfolio of real estate, marketable securities, or investment holding company, etc.); or (c) there are no indicated earnings/cash flows to be capitalized. If consideration of all relevant facts establishes that the Asset-Based Approach is applicable, the method to be employed will be either a going-concern scenario ("Adjusted Net Asset Method") or a liquidation scenario (on either a forced or an orderly basis), depending on the facts.

Lastly, a combination of the above approaches may be necessary to consider the various elements that are often found within specialized companies and/or are associated with various forms of intellectual property.

11.0

INVICTUS VALUATION APPROACHES

 
11.1

Overall Valuation Approach

Evans & Evans determined it to be appropriate to value Invictus, following the divestiture of Poda, on a consolidated basis. While most of the Public Company's revenues are derived historically from fertilizer sales by Future Harvest, most of its public announcements and capital expenditures have been related to its LP investments and cannabis sales.

With respect to the fair market value of Invictus, Evans & Evans believed it was appropriate to value the Public Company based on a going concern assumption. The reason for this is: (1) Invictus does have revenues; (2) the Public Company has significant working capital to fund short-term losses; (3) the going concern approach yields a higher value than a liquidation approach; and, (4) the Public Company is generating a sufficient return on its assets.

Given the above, Evans & Evans determined that two Asset Approaches — the Mergers & Acquisition Method and the Trading Price Method were the most appropriate in determining the fair market value of Invictus as at the Valuation Date. The Mergers & Acquisition Method was utilized given the number of transactions that have taken place in the cannabis sector. A Trading Price Method was utilized to reflect the prices shareholders of the Public Company are able to realize in the market.

11.2

Invictus — Methods Considered but Not Utilized

The reader should note that Evans &Evans also attempted to use a variety of other valuation approaches to determine the fair market value of Invictus. In this regard, Evans & Evans considered the following approaches, but were unable to use any of them:

  a)

Cost Approach. The Cost Approach is generally appropriate under certain circumstances where an asset is still under development, there is no history of generating cash flows, and future cash flows are so uncertain as to be speculative. A weakness of the Cost Approach is that the cost of the opportunity may bear little relationship to the economic benefits that a purchaser might anticipate to derive from such opportunity upon commercial exploitation of the asset. In the case of Invictus, given the Public Company is generating revenues and has investments in multiple operating subsidiaries, a Cost Approach was deemed inappropriate.

     
  b)

Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flow Method. Evans & Evans did not receive a financial forecast from management of the Public Company.

       
  c)

Income Approach — Capitalized Cash Flow / Earnings Method. Invictus is a holding company with investments in operating companies where it has varying levels of interest. As such, the greatest value for Invictus will be realized when it recognizes a liquidity event related to one or all of its investments. Accordingly, current cash flow and earnings of Invictus are not indicative of the fair market value of its investments.

       
  d)

Market Approach — Guideline Public Company ("GPC") Method. Under the Guideline Public Company Method, valuation multiples are derived from share transactions that represent minority interests in publicly traded companies or recent private transactions. As such, the resulting valuation multiples provide an indication of value on a minority interest, publicly traded basis. Evans & Evans did conduct a review of guideline public companies, and  considered the multiples of cannabis companies in testing the reasonableness of the valuation conclusions.

       
  e)

Market Approach — Historical Financings. As noted above, Invictus has raised more than $93 million in equity over the past several years. However, the most recent financings were completed almost 12 months preceding the Valuation Date. In the view of Evans & Evans, reliance on historical financings were not appropriate given the changes in the cannabis industry over the past 12 months.


  i.

On March 2, 2017, Invictus announced that it had closed a bought deal private placement. A total of 9,829,130 units were issued at a price of $1.65 per unit for aggregate gross  proceeds of $16,218,065. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share until September 2, 2018 at an exercise price of $2.35. The implied value of 100% of Invictus based on the March Financing was $95.15 million.

       
  ii.

On May 24, 2017, Invictus announces that it had closed a bought deal private placement, for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,008,750. A total of 18,525,000 units were issued at a price of $1.35 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share until November 24, 2018 at an exercise price of $1.75. The implied value of 100% of Invictus based on the May Financing was $103.24 million.

PODA VALUATION APPROACHES

 
12.1

Overall Valuation Approach

With respect to the fair market value of PTL, Evans & Evans believed it was appropriate to value Poda based on a going concern assumption. The reason for this is: (1) Poda does not have any debt and its ongoing expenditures are limited; (2) upon completion of the Proposed Transaction Poda will have approximately 12 months of working capital; and, (3) the going concern approach yields a higher value than a liquidation approach.

Given the status of Poda at the Valuation Date as well as the approaches of valuation outlined above, it is the view of the authors of the Report that that the most appropriate approach in determining the range of the fair market value of Poda at the Valuation Date was a weighting of a Market Approach, the Guideline Public Company ("GPC") Method and an Income Approach, the Modified Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") Method. A DCF Method was deemed appropriate given that PTL has invested over $1.0 million in developing its technologies and is forecasting significant growth in revenues going forward as it launches its products. The GPC Method was determined appropriate given that a multiple of revenues is often used to value companies with revenues prior to generating positive net income. Furthermore, the GPC Method captures the market sentiment towards companies in Poda's space as at the Valuation Date.

12.2

Poda — Methods Considered but Not Utilized

The reader should note that Evans & Evans also attempted to use a variety of other valuation approaches to determine the fair market value of Invictus. In this regard, Evans& Evans considered the following approaches, but were unable to use any of them:

  a)

Cost Approach. The Cost Approach is generally appropriate under certain circumstances where an asset is still under development, there is no history of generating cash flows, and future cash flows are so uncertain as to be speculative. A weakness of the Cost Approach is that the cost of the opportunity may bear little relationship to the economic benefits that a purchaser might anticipate deriving from such opportunity upon commercial exploitation of the asset. In the case of Poda, given PTL is forecasting revenues within the next 12 months, the Cost Approach was deemed inappropriate. Evans & Evans did however consider the costs incurred to develop the Poda technology to-date in assessing the reasonableness of the valuation conclusions.

       
  b)

Asset-Based Approach. The Asset-Based Approach is generally utilized where either: (i) the company is not deemed to be a going concern; (ii) the nature of the business is such that asset values represent the largest portion of the company's worth (e.g., real estate holding companies); and, (iii) there are no earnings or cash flow to be capitalized. In the case of Poda, given PTL was deemed to be a going concern and the its assets are intangible in nature (product designs and patent applications) the Asset-Based Approach was deemed inappropriate.


EVANS & EVANS, INC.

Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 19

  c)

Income Approach — Capitalized Earnings / Cash Flow Methods. Poda is at the early stage of growing its business and has not yet reached a stage where its earning / cash flow have stabilized and accordingly, there are no historical earnings or cash flows upon which to base a valuation.


13.0

BUSINESS AND MARKET SUMMARY ASSESSMENTS

In arriving at the fair market value of Poda, Evans & Evans considered the following business and market assessments.

  1.

Poda has applied for patent protection on its new vaporizer and associated cartridges but there is no assurance such protection will be awarded. PTL has spent approximately $1.0 million developing its technology over the past 36 months.

       
  2.

Funding is required for PTL to achieve its forecast results. As at the date of the Report, there was no certainty as to the amount of working capital to be provided to Poda at the close of the Proposed Transaction or the timing / amount of future financings. Any delays in the receipt of financing will result in a delay of the introduction of Poda's products to the market.

       
  3.

Poda is at the early stages of building an independent management team. In particular, PTL does require a senior management team member with market / business development expertise who will be responsible for building the distribution network.

       
  4.

While PTL has faced delays, its first product is ready for commercial production. PTL has identified potential contract manufacturers but must first purchase the molds necessary to begin production. Management estimates production will begin sometime in the fourth quarter of calendar 2018.

       
  5.

Poda has developed an aggressive set of financial projections. There is no assurance PTL will be able to achieve the forecast results in the timelines estimated by management.

       
  6.

PTL has in agreement in place whereby there is a perpetual royalty owed to the founders of PTL of 3% of sales once sales exceed $500,000. As the vaporizer market matures, the additional cost of sales associated with the royalty on the Poda products may have a detrimental impact on price competiveness.

       
  7.

Given the rise of popularity of vaping and vaporizers, regulators in Canada and the U.S. are heightening regulations. In November of 2016, the Federal Government of Canada announced new legislation, the proposed Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, proposing amendments to regulate vaping products as a separate class of products and renaming the Tobacco Act the  Tobacco and Vaping Products Act. Accordingly, there is risk associated with regulations impacting the timing of market entrance for Poda once its initial products are complete.

Within the vapor pen market, there are several subcategories:(1) cartridges - a disposable or non-disposable vessel that attaches to a rechargeable vapor pen. Sold separately from the  rechargeable pen; (2) refills - anything that refills a vapor pen or cartridge with fresh concentrate. Refills come in the form of tankers, syringes, and applicators; (3) All-in-one Disposables - Self-contained vapor pen units, designed to be discarded when the built-in cartridge is depleted; and, (4) All-in-one Rechargeables - Vapor pen units equipped with rechargeable batteries and designed to receive new cartridges as they're depleted. In the U.S.  the vapor pen category has over 60 brands, with most products priced between US$20 and US$40 per unit.

       
  9.

As the industry grows, the technology is becoming more high-tech. Historically, vaporizers have historically been low-cost, low-tech products. But many in the industry are now adopting business models that are more in line with tech giants like Apple, Samsung and Sony as a means to grow sales. The Poda product is designed to be more high tech as a differentiating factor. Further, PTL's plan for a low-cost vaporizer with a proprietary cartridge is in line with how analysts see the markets developing.

       
  10.

Evans & Evans found that consumers still buy their hardware from cannabis shops, online, or direct from the manufacturer. PTL has not yet begun building its distribution network, which is critical for long-term growth.

       
  11.

 The flobal e-cigarette and vaporizer market is expected to see a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 23.6% during the forecast period (2017 to 2024). In 2016, the market of e-cigarette and vaporizer was valued at US$9.1 billion and is anticipated to reach US$49 billion by the end of 2024 according to data from Research Nester.

       
  12.

Due to the health issues caused by cigarette, tobacco addicted persons are adopting e-cigarettes. This factor is expected to drive the market of e-cigarette and vaporizer across the globe. Poda does plan to introduce a product targeting tobacco smokers within the first three years of commercial operations, but is focusing first on the non-tobacco market (i.e., cannabis and other  herbs).

       
  13.

PTL plans to focus on the North American market initially. In the view of Evans & Evans, this is appropriate as industry research supported that North America accounted for highest market share in overall e-cigarette and vaporizer market in 2016.

       
  14.

According to data from Accuray Research LLP, the global e-cigarette and vaporizer market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of approximately 20.8% over the next decade to reach approximately US$61.4 billion by 2025.

       
  15.

Evans & Evans found in its research that some of the prominent trends that PTL's market is witnessing include combination of e-cigarette and cannabis industry and improvements in device technology and product innovation.

       
  16.

Evans & Evans found in its research that vaporizers have seen a sales surge as cannabis legalization has spread.

  17.

Product innovation in the vaporizer market is being driven by increasing competition. PTL's plan for zero-waste, a product that requires no cleaning and can move between different types of oils / dried herbs may enable Poda to differentiate itself from the many competitors in the market.

     
  18.

KandyPens, a vape company, has reported its sales increased 350% in 2017 to US$6.5 million, and is targeting US$10 million in 2018. Such sales growth does support demand for products similar to Poda but at the same time reinforces the aggressive nature of PTL's forecasts.

     
  19.

According to the report published by P&S Market Research in January of 2018, the global e-cigarette market is forecasted to attain a value of US$48 billion by 2023. China has been the forerunner in the regional e-cigarette industry, with an estimated 40.3% share in 2017. After the U.S. and the U.K., China is estimated to be the third largest e-cigarette market globally in 2017, which is further expected to grow during the forecast period.

     
  20.

P&S Market Research's research found that open tank vaporizers have a larger market than closed system vaporizers, with an estimated 61% market share of vaporizers in 2017. Between the two t-vapor products, the infused type has a higher demand than the heat-not-burn type.

     
  21.

Geographically, North America has been the largest e-cigarette market, with an estimated size of US$5.2 billion in 2017. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to lead the industry growth over the next five years. The U.S., the U.K., and China have been the key e-cigarette markets globally, estimated to account for a combined global share of around 53% in 2017. Russia, Germany, Italy, and Japan are the other major markets witnessing fast growth.

Consolidation is expected in the vaporizer and e-cigarette market as tobacco and next- generation cigarette manufacturers come together to add more value to their products. To sustain and prosper in the competitive e-cigarette market, large tobacco companies are acquiring the related technology providers for the in-house production and manufacturing of the next-generation cigarettes, under their own brands.

     
  23.

Several key vendors are introducing next generation vapor products such as Heat-not -Burn ("HnB") devices, e-vapor, smoke vapes, smokeless tobacco products, cig-a-likes, and reduced risk products ("RRP") cigarettes due to the increasing popularity of e-cigarettes. The recent developments in the vapor products market are the introduction of vaping devices or battery- powered inhalers. These vaping products reduce the risk of tobacco-related diseases by eliminating the inhalation of tar and other toxicants by active and passive smokers. E- cigarettes/e-vapor and HnB devices are designed to simulate tobacco smoking by providing inhaled doses of e-juices through vaporizing the flavored liquid, which, in turn, will boost sales in the e-cigarette market.

Evans & Evans used a multiple of acquisition price to the square footage of the Public Company based on its current capacity. Evans & Evans selected a multiple of $2,500 to $2,700 per square foot applied it to the 56,000 ft2 of existing facilities to arrive at a fair market value of the Public Company, excluding Poda, of $166,500,000.

The reader is advised to refer to Schedule 5.0 — Invictus Mergers &Acquisition Method for details.

14.2

Trading Price Method

Evans & Evans considered a Trading Price Method in arriving at the fair market value of the Public Company on a per share basis. As the Public Company's common shares are trading on the Exchange, Evans & Evans did believe it appropriate to consider the trading price of the Public Company's common shares in arriving at fair market value. As noted above, given the limited disclosure on PTL, Evans & Evans believed the trading price was largely indicative of the investments in Future Harvest and the LP investments.

As can be seen from the following table, the average trading price of the Public Company over the 180 trading days preceding the Valuation Date was in the range of $1.63 to $1.82 per share.

  Trading Price   June 29, 2018
Minimum
    Average     Maximum  
  10-Days Preceding $ 1.46   $ 1.63   $ 1.77  
  30-Days Preceding $ 1.46   $ 1.72   $ 1.94  
  90-Days Preceding $ 1.46   $ 1.82   $ 2.15  
  180-Days Preceding $ 1.16   $ 1.73   $ 2.37  

As can be seen from the following table, trading volumes has averaged over 150,000 shares per day in the 180 trading days preceding the Valuation Date. In the view of Evans & Evans there is a reasonable expectation that shareholders would be able to recognize their trading price in the market.

  Trading Volume   June 29, 2018
Minimum
    Average     Maximum     Total     %  
  10-Days Preceding   240,380     469,579     781,180     4,695,790     4.9%  
  30-Days Preceding   126,620     431,116     1,910,000     12,933,480     13.4%  
  90-Days Preceding   123,850     449,562     1,910,000     40,460,620     4L9%  
  180-Days Preceding   66,900     854,372     9,410,000     153,786,960     159.2%  

Given the lack volatility in the Public Company's share price over the past three months, and the decline in price over the 30 trading days preceding the Valuation Date, Evans & Evans considered the Public Company's 10-day volume weighted closing price ("VWCP") of $1.63 per share as indicative of fair market value. The fair market value of Invictus under the Trading Price Method was therefore determined to be $157,800,000.

VALUATION OF PODA

   
15.1

Discounted Cash Flow Method

As a starting point for the DCF Method, Evans & Evans reviewed the financial projections for PTL for the years ended January 31, 2019 to 2023 as outlined in Schedule 3.0 of this Report. Evans& Evans made certain downwards adjustments to the forecasts to reflect the risk associated with PTL achieving forecast revenues and cash flows in the timeframes estimated by management. Such adjustments were made based on a review of revenues of existing manufacturers.

Evans & Evans believed that a discounted cash flow over the periods from FY2019 — FY2022 was appropriate given the status of the Poda. The final year was removed given the risk associated with the ability to achieve such future levels of cash flow. The net present value of the cash flows was determined by discounting for business risk and time value of money.

A traditional DCF analysis was combined with probability-weighted scenarios. Such a method takes into consideration that Poda may have:

  1.

a varying degree of profit growth for the first years given the early stage of operations;

     
  2.

growth rates that vary given the lack of a distribution network; and,

     
  3.

slower than expected growth as PTL builds out its product suite as the industry continues to evolve.

Four separate discounted cash flow analyses were performed to reflect the differing probabilities associated with achieving the financial projections. The reader is advised to refer to Schedule 6.0 — Poda Discounted Cash Flow Method.

The purpose of the probability weighting is to address the uncertainty associated with the projected results for Poda while utilizing traditional valuation approaches. Thus, the four scenarios included in Schedule 6.0 represent the potential range of results that Poda may achieve from the included revenue opportunities in the future from a best case to worst case.

Uncertainty of future results is always the most difficult part of determining a reasonable price for a business and the use of probability-weighted scenarios is a way to manage such uncertainty and provide a reasonable valuation conclusion.

A sensitivity analysis was also performed by weighting the scenarios for a best case and worst-case result as well. Such sensitivity analysis is contained in Schedule 6.0.

Derivation of a Discount Rate

In assessing discount rates to PTL's projections for the Public Company, Evans & Evans selected discount rates in the range of 27.2% to 29.1%.

A discount rate is used to convert a future stream of cash flows into value, whereas a capitalization rate (equal to the discount rate minus the cash flow growth rate) is utilized to convert a single period's cash flow into value. When utilizing debt-free cash flow, the most appropriate discount rate is Poda's weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), which provides an expected rate of return based on Poda's capital structure, the required yield on Poda's equity, and the required yield on interest-bearing debt.

The basic formula for computing WACC can be expressed as follows:

WACC=(ke .x7 We)+(kd x[1-t]x Wd)

Where:

  WACC = Weighted average cost of capital
  ke = Corporation's cost of equity capital
  kd = Corporation's cost of debt capital
  We = Percentage of equity capital in the capital structure
  Wd = Percentage of debt capital in the capital structure
  t = Corporation's effective income tax rate

Evans & Evans used a cost of debt of 12%, as outlined in Schedule 6.0 — Poda Discounted Cash Flow Method. This pre-tax cost of debt was used in our DCF Method.

The remaining component of WACC, the cost of equity, was derived using the "build-up" method. The method constructs a discount rate by "building up" the components of such a rate. Starting with the risk-free rate prevalent at the Valuation Date, a generic equity risk premium, as well as a risk premium specific to Poda is then added.

Credit Suisse's Global Investment Returns Yearbook 2018 analyzes returns of Canadian stocks, bonds, bills, and inflation from 1900 to 2017. Data from the study found an annualized real equity risk premium ("ERP") of 3.5% relative to Canadian government bonds from 1900 to 2016. The build-up method also incorporates a small stock premium of 3.5%.

Combining the current long-term government bond yield and the equity-risk and small stock premia provides an estimate of the potential return that investors, in the June 2018 interest rate environment, require for investing in a diversified portfolio of equities. With Canadian government bond yields at 2.2% as the Valuation Date, the implied return requirement for investing in a market basket of publicly traded equities is 9.2% .

This estimated required return captures only systematic or market risk and does not address the risk specific to Poda. For this reason, a notional purchaser of Poda would require a premium to induce investment. A number of factors indicate that an investment in Poda is riskier than an investment in the market. These factors include the competitive environment, the lack of commercialization, and the evolving regulatory environment. It is our view that an investor would require at least 1,900 to 2,100 basis points to compensate for the additional risk to attract investors to PTL.

Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 27

Combining the variables discussed (long-term government bond yield, equity risk premium, and an allowance for size and the risks unique to Poda) indicates that discount rates of 28.2% to 30.2% are required. The computation is outlined in Schedule 6.0.

Having estimated rates of return for both the debt and equity components of PTL's capital structure, the next step is to weight, at market value, each component based upon the proportion each represents of total capitalization. A capital structure of 5% debt and 95% equity was utilized for Poda given its early stage of operations and lack of investment in fixed assets. Applying these weightings results in WACCs of 27.2% to 29.1% .

In arriving at the terminal value for Poda, Evans & Evans adjusted it downwards to reflect the risk associated with achieving the forecast cash flows in the timelines expected by management. Evans & Evans also deducted approximately $3.0 million in equity required to achieve the forecast results. In addition, Evans & Evans deducted amounts due to Invictus.

The Discounted Cash Flow Method results in a fair market value of Poda deemed to be $6.7 million to $7.5 million as outlined in Schedule 6.0.

15.2

Guideline Public Company Method

The GPC Method involves identifying public companies with operations similar to the subject company with stocks that trade freely in the public markets on a daily basis. The objective of the GPC Method is to derive multiples to apply to the fundamental financial variables of the subject company. Since the indication of value is based on minority interest transactions, if one is valuing a controlling interest, it may sometimes be necessary to consider applying a premium for control. A discount for lack of marketability may also be appropriate.

Evans & Evans identified 17 companies as outlined in Table 1 of Schedule 7.0 — Poda Guideline Public Company Method as potential guideline companies for Poda. The companies selected were involved in the marijuana / cannabis sector either product suppliers or providing consultation services.

The reader of the Report should note that although the guideline companies may not be direct competitors to PTL, they do or may offer similar products and/or services to their target markets and embody similar business, technical and financial risk/reward characteristics that a notional investor would consider as being comparable.

Thereafter, those companies with revenues less than $500,000, or an enterprise value greater than $500 million were removed from the analysis. The seven companies outlined in Table 2 were utilized in the analysis.

EVANS & EVANS, INC.



Invictus MD Strategies Corp. — Poda Technologies ltd.  
Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 28

Evans & Evans gathered data for enterprise value ("EV") over trailing 12-month ("TIM") revenues multiples. The result was a range of EV /TTM revenue multiples of 1.38 to over 42.21.

In determining an appropriate multiple of enterprise value to revenues to apply to PTL, Evans & Evans considered each of the companies listed in Table 2 and considered a number of relevant factors including business model, revenues, and stage of development. Evans & Evans deemed it appropriate to focus on Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd., Gilla Inc. and VPR Brands, LP.

As Poda was at an earlier stage of developing its business, Evans & Evans deemed it appropriate to utilize the enterprise to TTM revenue multiplier of 2.55, the average of the three most comparable companies. Thereafter the multiple was adjusted to reflect the size of Poda relative to the selected companies and Poda as a private company had less liquidity.

Evans & Evans utilized a weighting of Poda's projected FY 2019 (as the first year of commercial sales) and FY 2020 revenues. Thereafter, the enterprise value to revenue multiple was applied to the calculated revenue to determine the low and high enterprise values. Evans & Evans then deducted the outstanding debt and added back cash to arrive at a fair market value of $1.44 million.

The reader is advised to refer to Schedule 7.0 for further detailed calculations.

15.3

Poda Valuation Conclusions

Upon arriving at the fair value of PTL under the two methods outlined in sections 15.1 and 15.2 of this Report, Evans &Evans deemed it appropriate to apply a weighting to the two methodologies to balance the potential of Poda going forward with its current pre-revenue status.

The low end of the range of fair market value of PTL was determined to be $1.44 million. In arriving at the low end of the range, Evans & Evans deemed it appropriate to rely only on the Guideline Pubic Company Method, the reasons for which are: (1) Poda is pre-revenue and many of the guideline companies have revenues less than $1.0 million; and (2) the Guideline Public Company Method puts more weight on short-term results. In arriving at the high end of the range, Evans & Evans placed no reliance on the Discounted Cash Flow Method because many companies in the cannabis sector are projecting significant growth and given the early stage nature of the market there remains risk with future results which can be captured with a risk-weighted rate of return.

  Method   Midpoint     Weighting        
                     
  Discounted Cash Flow Method $ 10,450,000     0.0%   $ 0  
  Guideline Public Company Method $ 1,440,000     100.0%   $ 1,440,000  
  Fair Market Value             $ 1,440,000  

The high end of the range of fair market value of PTL was determined to be $1.89 million. In arriving at the high end for fair market value of Poda more weighting was placed on the Discounted Cash Flow Method given the growth projected by Poda and the growth rates being realized by companies in the sector.

VALUATION CONCLUSIONS

The fair market value of the Public Company was determined to be in the range of $157,800,000 to $166,500,000. The fair market value of Poda was determined to be in the range of $1,440,000 to $1,890,000.

FAIRNESS CONCLUSIONS

There are a number of qualitative and quantitative factors associated with the completion of the Proposed Transaction that the Shareholders might consider in determining the overall fairness of the Proposed Transaction. In assessing the fairness of the Proposed Transaction to the common shareholders of Invictus, Evans & Evans has considered, inter alia, the following:

  a)

Evans & Evans calculated the fair market value of Invictus base on its current trading price and based on mergers and acquisitions in the LP space. Evans & Evans found that the market appears to value licensed capacity and potential capacity for LPs and for product companies, the focus is on revenues. Accordingly, in the short-term it does appear that Invictus and Poda are valued in the market based on different fundamentals.

     
 

Overall, Evans & Evans found data to support the combined market capitalizations of Invictus post-Proposed Transaction and Poda, would exceed the market capitalization of Invictus pre- Proposed Transaction.

     
  b)

The Proposed Transaction does not change the ownership position of current Invictus shareholders. Each Invictus shareholder will hold the same number of shares in Invictus post- Proposed Transaction as pre-Proposed Transaction.

     
  c)

Each shareholder of Invictus will hold the same pro rata ownership in Poda as they hold in Invictus, prior to any financings.

     
  d)

On completion of the Proposed Transaction, the proportional interest that Invictus shareholders will own in the assets of Invictus (pre-Proposed Transaction) will remain unchanged.

     
  e)

Poda does intend to make an application to have its shares listed on a recognized Canadian stock exchange prior to year-end 2018, however, there is no assurance the shares of Poda, should it be successful in securing a listing, will see the same levels of liquidity as the Invictus shares on the TSX-V.


EVANS & EVANS, INC.



Invictus MD Strategies Corp. — Poda Technologies ltd.  
Comprehensive Valuation Report and Fairness Opinion  
August 21, 2018 Page 30

  f)

The working capital in Poda is expected to be sufficient to complete development of its beta product and provide for 12 months of working capital. Accordingly, Poda will have the opportunity to potentially enhance its shareholder value prior to seeking additional financing.

     
  g)

The Proposed Transaction is expected to provide greater market awareness for Poda.

     
  h)

As Invictus has not announced the Proposed Transaction, no analysis could be undertaken as to the impact of the announcement on the share price of Invictus.


17.1

Fairness of the Proposed Transaction

Based upon Evans & Evans' valuation work and subject to all of the foregoing, Evans & Evans is of the opinion, as at the Valuation Date and the Fairness Date, that the terms of the Proposed Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

In considering fairness, from a financial point of view, Evans & Evans considered the Proposed Transaction from the perspective of the Shareholders as a group and did not consider the specific circumstances of any particular shareholder, including with regard to income tax considerations.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Poda Technologies Ltd. (formerly Edison Vape Co. Ltd.) (“Poda” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 26, 2015. The Company’s principal business activity is the design, development and production of a new and improved technology to vaporize cannabis and other materials.

The head office is located at 300 – 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, V4B 1C5, and the registered and records office is located at 10th floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T5.

Poda is a vaporization system designed to provide consumers with a convenient and effective method for the vaporization of cannabis, tobacco and other products. The Poda design involves two main components: the warming device and the stick (or Pod). The warming device is designed to read information from the sticks and then heat the contents of the sticks to the desired vaporization temperature (which can vary greatly depending on the substance to be vaporized). The sticks are designed with an innovative and novel airflow path, which isolates the substance to be vaporized (and any vapors produced) from the warming device. The sticks are designed to be low-cost and disposable (compostable options are available) and are primarily intended to be sold pre-filled. The intended use case for consumers is that they purchase a pack of Poda sticks (much like a pack of cigarettes) and then insert one of the sticks into the warming device (which reads heating parameters from the stick), which then automatically heats the substance in the stick to the desired vaporization temperature and maintains that temperature until the vaporizable substance has been consumed by the user. The stick can then be removed from the warming device and be disposed of. Due to the isolated airflow inside the stick, the vaporization process can be repeated again and again without any deterioration of the warming device due to contamination from the substances and / or vapors.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

On January 21, 2015, Invictus MD Strategies Corp. (“Invictus”) entered into an Initial Agreement with the former owners of Poda to acquire 40% of the common shares of Poda.

On January 27, 2015, Invictus subscribed for 40% of the common shares of Poda, by way of subscribing for 40,000 shares at a price of $0.001 per common share for a cash consideration of $40 and, simultaneously, providing a shareholder’s loan of $40,000 (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Transaction, during a six-month Development Period, Invictus had the option to purchase the remaining 60% of the common shares of Poda (the "Remaining Poda Shares").

On October 31, 2015, Invictus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the former owners of Poda to purchase the remaining 60% of Poda and increase its total interest to 100%. As a result, it was determined that this constituted an asset acquisition and that the assets were measured at the fair value of the consideration given up.

As at April 30, 2018, Poda has completed a working prototype and has selected manufacturers in China for the industrial design and manufacture of both the vaporizer device and pods. Financing opportunities and distribution partners are currently being sought.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

On May 15, 2018, Invictus announced the 2018 launch of Poda and its zero-cleaning vaporizer system with disposable pods. This new technology provides consumers with consistent performance and uses patent-pending zero cleaning technology. The Poda system can be paired with almost any vaporizable substance, including cannabis, tobacco, e-liquids, concentrates, coffee and more. Other pod-based vaporizers currently on the market require cleaning and produce significant waste. Poda also offers biodegradable pods.

Poda will launch a number of device models across a variety of price points. Some devices will have the ability to connect to users’ smartphones via Bluetooth, providing granular control of temperature and a wealth of pod-specific information. Different substances, like cannabis and tobacco, can demand different temperatures to achieve desirable vapor for inhalation. Poda smart devices can detect the proper settings for each pod and can automatically adjust the temperature to achieve optimal vaping. Alternatively, consumers will be able to design their own temperature profiles and customize a wide range of other operational parameters. Poda devices with smartphone-enabled technology are set to be released after the initial Poda devices (without smartphone connectivity) enter the market.

Poda has filed Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patents covering its innovative technologies, giving Poda the ability to protect its valuable IP on a global scale. Invictus owns 100% of Poda and its related intellectual property.

On August 21, 2018, Invictus announced the proposed spinout of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Poda, by way of plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), in a bid to create a stand-alone entity to conduct business in the U.S. and internationally, outside of the TSXV.

The Arrangement will be affected under the terms and conditions of an arrangement agreement to be entered into between Invictus and Poda (the “Arrangement Agreement”).

The Company has obtained an independent comprehensive valuation report and fairness opinion (the “Report”) on the Arrangement. The Report concludes that the terms of the Arrangement are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Invictus Shareholders. The fair market value of Poda, as at June 30, 2018, was determined to be approximately $1,655,000.

Following completion of the Arrangement, Poda will use its commercially reasonable efforts to apply for and obtain a listing of the Poda common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) or other Canadian stock exchange or quotation system. Management of the Company and Poda will remain the same following completion of the Arrangement.

All Invictus shareholders, of record as of the Record Date, will be issued a notice from Invictus’ transfer agent, Computershare, with instructions on how to obtain the shares they are entitled to under the Arrangement.

On September 10, 2018, Invictus entered into a non-arm’s length arrangement agreement (the "Agreement"), with Poda to give effect to the spinout transaction previously announced on August 21, 2018.

The Agreement, a copy of which will be available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, sets out the terms of the statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Invictus, its security holders, and Poda, which Arrangement, if completed, will result in shareholders of Invictus as at the effective date of the Arrangement (the "Effective Date") being entitled to receive, for each common share of Invictus (an "Invictus Share") held as at such date:

  (a)

one post-Arrangement common share of Invictus (a "New Invictus Share"); and

  (b)

one common share of Poda (a "Poda Share").

Holders of outstanding Invictus warrants ("Warrants") immediately prior to the Effective Date will receive, upon exercise of each such Warrant at the same original exercise price, one New Invictus Share and one Poda Share, in lieu of the one Invictus Share that was issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Date.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Invictus will be seeking shareholder approval of the Arrangement at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on October 18, 2018 (the “Meeting”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company as of the record date (the “Shareholders”) will be, among other matters, electing Directors of the Company, appointing the Auditors of the Company, passing an ordinary resolution providing the required annual approval of the Company's 10% "rolling" stock option plan and will also be asked to pass a special resolution approving the Arrangement.

The Notice of the Meeting, along with the Management Information Circular, will be mailed to the Shareholders on September 20, 2018, as well as posted under the Company’s profile on SEDAR. The Management Information Circular will describe in detail the matters to be addressed at the Meeting.

Following Shareholder approval of the Arrangement at the Meeting and receipt of requisite regulatory and court approvals, the Effective Date for the exchange and distribution of the common shares of Poda will be announced. Shareholders will receive a notice from the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, with instructions on how to obtain the shares they are entitled to receive under the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is contingent on completion of closing conditions associated with the Arrangement, such as requisite corporate, regulatory and court approvals.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN CANADA

In June 2013, Health Canada issued the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) for highly regulated commercial operations to produce quality medicine and covered the production and sale of dried cannabis flowers. On July 8, 2015, Health Canada issued certain exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada) (“CDSA”), to allow licensed producers to apply for a supplemental license to produce and sell cannabis oil and fresh marijuana buds and leaves. On August 24, 2016, the Government of Canada issued the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR"), which allows patients to grow their own marijuana at home, limited to the number of plants required based on their prescribed dosage, and to designate a third-party grower through regulations similar to the former Medical Marijuana Access Regulations ("MMAR"). On December 13, 2016, the Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation, which was established by the Canadian Federal Government to seek input on the design of a new system to legalize, strictly regulate and restrict access to marijuana, completed its review and published its report outlining its recommendations.

As the requirements under the current regulations are simple and involve few obstacles to access, growth in the number of approved patients is anticipated to increase significantly.

Health Canada1 recently reported that over 296,700 patients had enrolled into the ACMPR program by March 31, 2018. By 2024, Health Canada conservatively estimates that the number of patients using medical marijuana will grow to 425,000, creating a medical cannabis market worth an estimated $0.77 billion to $1.79 billion per year.

LEGALIZATION OF RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA IN CANADA

On April 13, 2017, the Canadian Federal Government released Bill C-45, which proposed the enactment of the Cannabis Act, to regulate the production, distribution and sale of cannabis for unqualified adult use, with a target implementation date of no later than July 1, 2018. On November 25, 2017, the Bill received approval from the House of Commons. On June 19, 2018, Bill C-45 officially passed Senate vote and now moves to royal assent, the final step in the legislative process. The government has set the effective date of the cannabis legalization legislation as October 17, 2018.

The Canadian Federal Government has legalized marijuana and provinces will be held responsible for licensing the product and overseeing its distribution and sale.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Deloitte2 estimates the total cannabis market in Canada, including medical and illegal as well as legal recreational products, is expected to generate up to $7.17 billion in total sales in 2019. Legal sales are expected to contribute more than half of this total – up to $4.34 billion – in the first year.

In the United States, thirty-one (31) states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico have legalized medical marijuana, and nine states and Washington D.C. have legalized “adult use” or “recreational” marijuana. At the federal level, however, cannabis currently remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Under United States federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities including, without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use, or distribution of cannabis, remain illegal under United States federal law. Although federally illegal, the U.S. federal government’s approach to enforcement of such laws has at least until recently trended toward non-enforcement. On August 29, 2013, the DOJ issued a memorandum known as the “Cole Memorandum” to all U.S. Attorneys’ offices (federal prosecutors). The Cole Memorandum generally directed U.S. Attorneys not to prioritize the enforcement of federal marijuana laws against individuals and businesses that rigorously comply with state regulatory provisions in states with strictly regulated medical or recreational cannabis programs. While not legally binding, and merely prosecutorial guidance, the Cole Memorandum laid a framework for managing the tension between state and federal laws concerning state regulated marijuana businesses. However, on January 4, 2018, the Cole Memorandum was revoked by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a long-time opponent of state-regulated medical and recreational cannabis. While this did not create a change in federal law, as the Cole Memorandum was not itself law, the revocation removed the DOJ’s guidance to U.S. Attorneys that state-regulated cannabis industries substantively in compliance with the Cole Memorandum’s guidelines should not be a prosecutorial priority. In addition to his revocation of the Cole Memorandum, Attorney General Sessions also issued a one-page memorandum known as the “Sessions Memorandum.” The Sessions Memorandum confirmed the rescission of the Cole Memorandum and explained the rationale of the DOJ in doing so: the Cole Memorandum, according to the Sessions Memorandum, was “unnecessary” due to existing general enforcement guidance adopted in the 1980s, as set forth in the U.S. Attorney’s Manual (the “USAM”). The USAM enforcement priorities, like those of the Cole Memorandum, are also based on the federal government’s limited resources, and include “law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General,” the “seriousness” of the alleged crimes, the “deterrent effect of criminal prosecution,” and “the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” While the Sessions Memorandum emphasizes that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance, and reiterates the statutory view that cannabis is a “dangerous drug and that marijuana activity is a serious crime,” it does not otherwise indicate that the prosecution of marijuana-related offenses is now a DOJ priority. Furthermore, the Sessions Memorandum explicitly describes itself as a guide to prosecutorial discretion. Such discretion is firmly in the hands of U.S. Attorneys in deciding whether or not to prosecute marijuana-related offenses.

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure on outstanding GST and taxes recoverable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. GST and taxes recoverable consist of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company has minimal financial assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  (i)

To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

     
  (ii)

To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature and maturity. The Company’s amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of all components of shareholders equity.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

RISK FACTORS

This section discusses factors relating to the business of the Company that should be considered by both existing and potential investors. The information in this section is intended to serve as an overview and should not be considered comprehensive and the Company may face risks and uncertainties not discussed in this section, or not currently known to us, or that we deem to be immaterial. All risks to the Company’s business have the potential to influence its operations in a materially adverse manner.

The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of the Company’s management

The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from management’s expectations. The Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow may differ materially from the Company’s projected revenue, net income and cash flow. The process for estimating the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. In addition, the assumptions used in planning may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure, growth, regulatory compliance and operations

The Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure and growth and for regulatory compliance, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Company’s operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this MD&A, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events.

The medical cannabis industry and market are relatively new and this industry and market may not continue to exist or grow as anticipated or the Company may be ultimately unable to succeed in this new industry and market

In addition to being subject to general business risks, the Company must continue to build brand awareness in this industry and market through significant investments in its strategy, its production capacity, quality assurance and compliance with regulations. In addition, there is no assurance that the industry and market will continue to exist and grow as currently estimated or anticipated or function and evolve in the manner consistent with management’s expectations and assumptions. Any event or circumstance that adversely affects the cannabis industry and market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The Company may not be able to manage its growth

The Company may be subject to growth related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Company is subject to changes in laws, regulations and guidelines which could adversely affect the Company’s future business, financial condition and results of operations

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s operations will be subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the manufacture, management, packaging/labelling, advertising, sale, transportation, storage and disposal of medical cannabis but also including laws and regulations relating to drugs, controlled substances, health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond the control of the Company may cause adverse effects to its operations. The Company endeavours to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company is in compliance or in the process of being assessed for compliance with all such laws, regulations and guidelines as described elsewhere in this MD&A.

On December 20, 2017, the Prime Minister of Canada communicated that the Canadian Federal Government intends to legalize cannabis in October 2018, despite previous reports of a July 1, 2018 deadline. On June 7, 2018, Bill C45 passed the third reading in the Senate with a number of amendments to the language of the Cannabis Act. On June 20, 2018, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that cannabis would be legal by October 17, 2018. On June 21, 2018, the Government of Canada announced that Bill C-45 received Royal Assent. Bill-C-45 will come into force on October 17, 2018. On July 11, 2018, the regulations made pursuant to the Cannabis Act were published. The regulations under the Cannabis Act contemplate the various licenses including cultivation, processing, analytical testing, sale (including medical sales), analytical testing and scientific research. The regulations introduced the nursery and made outdoor cultivation permissible. Finally, the requirements for packaging and labelling of products for both medical and non-medical consumption were explicitly set forth. The impact of changes in the regulatory enforcement by Health Canada under the Cannabis Act and its regulations, particularly in respect of product packaging, labelling, marketing, advertising and promotions and product approvals and its impact on the Company’s business are unknown at this time.

In addition, when the Cannabis Act comes into effect, there is no guarantee that provincial legislation regulating the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult use purposes will be enacted according to the terms announced by such provinces, or at all, or that any such legislation, if enacted, will create the opportunities for growth anticipated by the Company. For example, the Provinces of Québec and New Brunswick have announced sales and distribution models that would create government-controlled monopolies over the legal retail and distribution of cannabis for adult use purposes in such provinces, which could limit the Company’s opportunities in those provinces.

The Company may not be able to develop its products, which could prevent it from ever becoming profitable

If the Company cannot successfully develop, manufacture and distribute its products, or if the Company experiences difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, the Company may not be able to develop market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect the Company’s ability to effectively enter the market. A failure by the Company to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in manufacturing processes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s commercialization plans and the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

There is no assurance that the Company will turn a profit or generate immediate revenues

There is no assurance as to whether the Company will be profitable, earn revenues, or pay dividends. The Company has incurred and anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial expenses relating to the development and initial operations of its business. The payment and amount of any future dividends will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, financial condition, and operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividends.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company faces competition from other companies where it will conduct business that may have higher capitalization, more experienced management or may be more mature as a business

An increase in the companies competing in this industry could limit the ability of the Company to expand its operations. Current and new competitors may be better capitalized, have a longer operating history, have more expertise and be able to develop higher quality equipment or products, at the same or a lower cost. The Company cannot provide assurances that it will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, despite Canadian federal and state-level legalization of marijuana, illicit or "black-market" operations remain abundant and present substantial competition to the Company. In particular, illicit operations, despite being largely clandestine, are not required to comply with the extensive regulations that the Company must comply with to conduct business, and accordingly may have significantly lower costs of operation.

If the Company is unable to develop and market new products, it may not be able to keep pace with market developments

The cannabis industry is in its early stages and it is likely that the Company and its competitors will seek to introduce new products in the future. In attempting to keep pace with any new market developments, the Company will need to expend significant amounts of capital in order to successfully develop and generate revenues from new products. The Company may not be successful in developing effective and safe new products, bringing such products to market in time to be effectively commercialized, or obtaining any required regulatory approvals, which together with capital expenditures made in the court of such product development and regulatory approval processes, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Company is unable to attract and retain key personnel, it may not be able to compete effectively in the cannabis market

The Company’s success has depended and continues to depend upon its ability to attract and retain key management, including the Company’s CEO, technical experts, management team and sales personnel. The Company will attempt to enhance its management and technical expertise by continuing to recruit qualified individuals who possess desired skills and experience in certain targeted areas. The Company’s inability to retain employees and attract and retain sufficient additional employees or engineering and technical support resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition. Shortages in qualified personnel or the loss of key personnel could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company, results of operations of the business and could limit the Company’s ability to develop and market its cannabis-related products. The loss of any of the Company’s senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and strategy, and the Company may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of its employees.

The size of the Company’s target market is difficult to quantify, and investors will be reliant on their own estimates on the accuracy of market data

Because the cannabis industry is in a nascent stage with uncertain boundaries, there is a lack of information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in deciding about whether to invest in the Company and, few, if any, established companies whose business model the Company can follow or upon whose success the Company can build. Accordingly, investors will have to rely on their own estimates in deciding about whether to invest in the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates are accurate or that the market size is sufficiently large for its business to grow as projected, which may negatively impact its financial results. The Company regularly purchases and follows market research.

The Company’s industry is experiencing rapid growth and consolidation that may cause the Company to lose key relationships and intensify competition

The cannabis industry is undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, which has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships. Acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm the Company in a number of ways, including the loss of strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share, or forcing the Company to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm the Company’s operating results. As competitors enter the market and become increasingly sophisticated, competition in the Company’s industry may intensify and place downward pressure on retail prices for its products and services, which could negatively impact its profitability.

As the Company operates within the cannabis industry, there are additional difficulties and complexities associated with insurance coverage

As the Company is engaged in and operates within the cannabis industry, there are exclusions and additional difficulties and complexities associated with such insurance coverage that could cause the Company to suffer uninsured losses, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and profitability. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to fully utilize such insurance coverage, if necessary.

The Company may be subject to product recalls for product defects self-imposed or imposed by regulators

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although the Company has detailed procedures in place for testing its products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the Company’s significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

The Company is dependent on access to skilled labour, equipment and parts

The ability of the Company to compete and grow will be dependent on having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining the required supply of skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. It is also possible that the expansion plans contemplated by the Company may cost more than anticipated, in which circumstance the Company may curtail, or extend timeframes for completing the expansion plans. This could have a material adverse effect on the financial results and operations of the Company.

The expansion of the medical cannabis industry may require new clinical research into effective medical therapies, when such research has been restricted in the U.S. and is new to Canada

Research in Canada and internationally regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in early stages. There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC). Although the Company believes that the articles, reports and studies support its beliefs regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, future research and clinical trials may prove such statements to be incorrect, or could raise concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on such articles and reports. Future research studies and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to those stated in this MD&A or reach negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, social acceptance or other facts and perceptions related to medical cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products with the potential to lead to a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company could be liable for fraudulent or illegal activity by its employees, contractors and consultants resulting in significant financial losses or claims against the Company

The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Company that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against the Company, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of the Company’s operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company will be reliant on information technology systems and may be subject to damaging cyber-attacks

The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology ("IT") services in connection with its operations. The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well it and its suppliers protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company’s operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.

The Company has not experienced any material losses to date relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

The Company’s officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities resulting in conflicts of interest

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of its directors and the officers who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or Companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, if such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

In certain circumstances, the Company’s reputation could be damaged

Damage to the Company’s reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share opinions and views regarding the Company and its activities, whether true or not. Although the Company believes that it operates in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and that it takes care in protecting its image and reputation, the Company does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputation loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Company’s overall ability to advance its projects, thereby having a material adverse impact on financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

Negative operating cash flow

Our overall business has incurred losses since its inception. Although we expect to become profitable, there is no guarantee that will happen, and we may never become profitable. We currently have a negative operating cash flow and may continue to have that for the foreseeable future. To date, a large portion of our expenses are fixed, including expenses related to equipment, contractual commitments and personnel. As a result, we expect our net losses from operations to improve. Our ability to generate additional revenues and potential to become profitable will depend largely on our ability, to manufacture and market our products. There can be no assurance that any such events will occur or that we will ever become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot predict the level of such profitability. If we sustain losses over an extended period of time, we may be unable to continue our business.

Product liability

As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company’s products alone or in combination with others, that the Company’s products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of the Company’s potential products.

Publicity or consumer perception

The Company believes the medical marijuana industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the medical marijuana produced. Consumer perception of the Company’s products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medical marijuana products.

There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the medical marijuana market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s cash flows. The Company’s dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of medical marijuana in general, or the Company’s products specifically, or associating the consumption of medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Difficulties with forecasts

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the medical marijuana industry in Canada and the United States. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Risks of foreign operations

The Company’s strategy includes exporting its expertise and technologies to foreign countries. Working outside of Canada gives rise to the risk of dealing with business and political systems that are different than what the Company is accustomed to in Canada. The potential risks include: expropriation or nationalization; civil insurrection; labour unrest; strikes and other political risks; fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange controls; increases in duties and taxes; and changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign based companies. Restrictions on repatriation of capital or distributions of earnings could adversely affect the Company in the future

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws

The Company is subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Failure to comply with these laws could subject the Company to, among other things, reputational damage, civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures and legal expenses which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. It may not be possible for the Company to ensure compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in every jurisdiction in which its employees, agents, sub-contractors or joint venture partners are located or may be located in the future.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Market risks for securities

The market price of common shares, should the Company become listed on a securities exchange, may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts’ expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, changes in the business prospects for the Company, general economic conditions, legislative changes, and other events and factors outside of the Company’s control.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends on its issued and outstanding common shares to date and may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the Common Shares unless they sell their common shares of the Company for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

Financing risk

The Company will be dependent upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting its development and future operating cost requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. An economic downturn of global capital markets has been shown to make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. These and other factors may impact the Company’s ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favourable to the Company and its management. The Company may not be able to raise capital on favourable terms or at all, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and the trading price of the common shares, should the Company become listed on a securities exchange. Additionally, future financing may substantially dilute the interests of the Company's shareholders.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Poda Technologies Ltd. (formerly Edison Vape Co. Ltd.) (“Poda” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 26, 2015. The Company’s principal business activity is the design, development and production of a new and improved technology to vaporize cannabis and other materials.

The head office is located at 300 – 15047 Marine Drive, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, V4B 1C5, and the registered and records office is located at 10th floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T5.

Poda is a vaporization system designed to provide consumers with a convenient and effective method for the vaporization of cannabis, tobacco and other products. The Poda design involves two main components: the warming device and the stick (or Pod). The warming device is designed to read information from the sticks and then heat the contents of the sticks to the desired vaporization temperature (which can vary greatly depending on the substance to be vaporized). The sticks are designed with an innovative and novel airflow path, which isolates the substance to be vaporized (and any vapors produced) from the warming device. The sticks are designed to be low-cost and disposable (compostable options are available) and are primarily intended to be sold pre-filled. The intended use case for consumers is that they purchase a pack of Poda sticks (much like a pack of cigarettes) and then insert one of the sticks into the warming device (which reads heating parameters from the stick), which then automatically heats the substance in the stick to the desired vaporization temperature and maintains that temperature until the vaporizable substance has been consumed by the user. The stick can then be removed from the warming device and be disposed of. Due to the isolated airflow inside the stick, the vaporization process can be repeated again and again without any deterioration of the warming device due to contamination from the substances and / or vapors.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

On January 21, 2015, Invictus MD Strategies Corp. (“Invictus”) entered into an Initial Agreement with the former owners of Poda to acquire 40% of the common shares of Poda.

On January 27, 2015, Invictus subscribed for 40% of the common shares of Poda, by way of subscribing for 40,000 shares at a price of $0.001 per common share for a cash consideration of $40 and, simultaneously, providing a shareholder’s loan of $40,000 (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Transaction, during a six-month Development Period, Invictus had the option to purchase the remaining 60% of the common shares of Poda (the "Remaining Poda Shares").

On October 31, 2015, Invictus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the former owners of Poda to purchase the remaining 60% of Poda and increase its total interest to 100%. As a result, it was determined that this constituted an asset acquisition and that the assets were measured at the fair value of the consideration given up.

As at April 30, 2018, Poda has completed a working prototype and has selected manufacturers in China for the industrial design and manufacture of both the vaporizer device and pods. Financing opportunities and distribution partners are currently being sought.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the three months ended April 30, 2018
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

On May 15, 2018, Invictus announced the 2018 launch of Poda and its zero-cleaning vaporizer system with disposable pods. This new technology provides consumers with consistent performance and uses patent-pending zero cleaning technology. The Poda system can be paired with almost any vaporizable substance, including cannabis, tobacco, e-liquids, concentrates, coffee and more. Other pod-based vaporizers currently on the market require cleaning and produce significant waste. Poda also offers biodegradable pods.

Poda will launch a number of device models across a variety of price points. Some devices will have the ability to connect to users’ smartphones via Bluetooth, providing granular control of temperature and a wealth of pod-specific information. Different substances, like cannabis and tobacco, can demand different temperatures to achieve desirable vapor for inhalation. Poda smart devices can detect the proper settings for each pod and can automatically adjust the temperature to achieve optimal vaping. Alternatively, consumers will be able to design their own temperature profiles and customize a wide range of other operational parameters. Poda devices with smartphone-enabled technology are set to be released after the initial Poda devices (without smartphone connectivity) enter the market.

Poda has filed Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patents covering its innovative technologies, giving Poda the ability to protect its valuable IP on a global scale. Invictus owns 100% of Poda and its related intellectual property.

On August 21, 2018, Invictus announced the proposed spinout of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Poda, by way of plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), in a bid to create a stand-alone entity to conduct business in the U.S. and internationally, outside of the TSXV.

The Arrangement will be affected under the terms and conditions of an arrangement agreement to be entered into between Invictus and Poda (the “Arrangement Agreement”).

The Company has obtained an independent comprehensive valuation report and fairness opinion (the “Report”) on the Arrangement. The Report concludes that the terms of the Arrangement are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Invictus Shareholders. The fair market value of Poda, as at June 30, 2018, was determined to be approximately $1,655,000.

Following completion of the Arrangement, Poda will use its commercially reasonable efforts to apply for and obtain a listing of the Poda common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) or other Canadian stock exchange or quotation system. Management of the Company and Poda will remain the same following completion of the Arrangement.

All Invictus shareholders, of record as of the Record Date, will be issued a notice from Invictus’ transfer agent, Computershare, with instructions on how to obtain the shares they are entitled to under the Arrangement.

On September 10, 2018, Invictus entered into a non-arm’s length arrangement agreement (the "Agreement"), with Poda to give effect to the spinout transaction previously announced on August 21, 2018.

The Agreement, a copy of which will be available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, sets out the terms of the statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Invictus, its security holders, and Poda, which Arrangement, if completed, will result in shareholders of Invictus as at the effective date of the Arrangement (the "Effective Date") being entitled to receive, for each common share of Invictus (an "Invictus Share") held as at such date:

  (a)

one post-Arrangement common share of Invictus (a "New Invictus Share"); and

  (b)

one common share of Poda (a "Poda Share").

Holders of outstanding Invictus warrants ("Warrants") immediately prior to the Effective Date will receive, upon exercise of each such Warrant at the same original exercise price, one New Invictus Share and one Poda Share, in lieu of the one Invictus Share that was issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Date.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the three months ended April 30, 2018
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Invictus will be seeking shareholder approval of the Arrangement at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on October 18, 2018 (the “Meeting”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company as of the record date (the “Shareholders”) will be, among other matters, electing Directors of the Company, appointing the Auditors of the Company, passing an ordinary resolution providing the required annual approval of the Company's 10% "rolling" stock option plan and will also be asked to pass a special resolution approving the Arrangement.

The Notice of the Meeting, along with the Management Information Circular, will be mailed to the Shareholders on September 20, 2018, as well as posted under the Company’s profile on SEDAR. The Management Information Circular will describe in detail the matters to be addressed at the Meeting.

Following Shareholder approval of the Arrangement at the Meeting and receipt of requisite regulatory and court approvals, the Effective Date for the exchange and distribution of the common shares of Poda will be announced. Shareholders will receive a notice from the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, with instructions on how to obtain the shares they are entitled to receive under the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is contingent on completion of closing conditions associated with the Arrangement, such as requisite corporate, regulatory and court approvals.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN CANADA

In June 2013, Health Canada issued the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) for highly regulated commercial operations to produce quality medicine and covered the production and sale of dried cannabis flowers. On July 8, 2015, Health Canada issued certain exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada) (“CDSA”), to allow licensed producers to apply for a supplemental license to produce and sell cannabis oil and fresh marijuana buds and leaves. On August 24, 2016, the Government of Canada issued the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR"), which allows patients to grow their own marijuana at home, limited to the number of plants required based on their prescribed dosage, and to designate a third-party grower through regulations similar to the former Medical Marijuana Access Regulations ("MMAR"). On December 13, 2016, the Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation, which was established by the Canadian Federal Government to seek input on the design of a new system to legalize, strictly regulate and restrict access to marijuana, completed its review and published its report outlining its recommendations.

As the requirements under the current regulations are simple and involve few obstacles to access, growth in the number of approved patients is anticipated to increase significantly.

Health Canada1 recently reported that over 296,700 patients had enrolled into the ACMPR program by March 31, 2018. By 2024, Health Canada conservatively estimates that the number of patients using medical marijuana will grow to 425,000, creating a medical cannabis market worth an estimated $0.77 billion to $1.79 billion per year.

LEGALIZATION OF RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA IN CANADA

On April 13, 2017, the Canadian Federal Government released Bill C-45, which proposed the enactment of the Cannabis Act, to regulate the production, distribution and sale of cannabis for unqualified adult use, with a target implementation date of no later than July 1, 2018. On November 25, 2017, the Bill received approval from the House of Commons. On June 19, 2018, Bill C-45 officially passed Senate vote and now moves to royal assent, the final step in the legislative process. The government has set the effective date of the cannabis legalization legislation as October 17, 2018.

The Canadian Federal Government has legalized marijuana and provinces will be held responsible for licensing the product and overseeing its distribution and sale.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the three months ended April 30, 2018
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Deloitte2 estimates the total cannabis market in Canada, including medical and illegal as well as legal recreational products, is expected to generate up to $7.17 billion in total sales in 2019. Legal sales are expected to contribute more than half of this total – up to $4.34 billion – in the first year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE U.S. LEGAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY

In the United States, thirty-one (31) states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico have legalized medical marijuana, and nine states and Washington D.C. have legalized “adult use” or “recreational” marijuana. At the federal level, however, cannabis currently remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Under United States federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities including, without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use, or distribution of cannabis, remain illegal under United States federal law. Although federally illegal, the U.S. federal government’s approach to enforcement of such laws has at least until recently trended toward non-enforcement. On August 29, 2013, the DOJ issued a memorandum known as the “Cole Memorandum” to all U.S. Attorneys’ offices (federal prosecutors). The Cole Memorandum generally directed U.S. Attorneys not to prioritize the enforcement of federal marijuana laws against individuals and businesses that rigorously comply with state regulatory provisions in states with strictly regulated medical or recreational cannabis programs. While not legally binding, and merely prosecutorial guidance, the Cole Memorandum laid a framework for managing the tension between state and federal laws concerning state regulated marijuana businesses. However, on January 4, 2018, the Cole Memorandum was revoked by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a long-time opponent of state-regulated medical and recreational cannabis. While this did not create a change in federal law, as the Cole Memorandum was not itself law, the revocation removed the DOJ’s guidance to U.S. Attorneys that state-regulated cannabis industries substantively in compliance with the Cole Memorandum’s guidelines should not be a prosecutorial priority. In addition to his revocation of the Cole Memorandum, Attorney General Sessions also issued a one-page memorandum known as the “Sessions Memorandum.” The Sessions Memorandum confirmed the rescission of the Cole Memorandum and explained the rationale of the DOJ in doing so: the Cole Memorandum, according to the Sessions Memorandum, was “unnecessary” due to existing general enforcement guidance adopted in the 1980s, as set forth in the U.S. Attorney’s Manual (the “USAM”). The USAM enforcement priorities, like those of the Cole Memorandum, are also based on the federal government’s limited resources, and include “law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General,” the “seriousness” of the alleged crimes, the “deterrent effect of criminal prosecution,” and “the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” While the Sessions Memorandum emphasizes that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance, and reiterates the statutory view that cannabis is a “dangerous drug and that marijuana activity is a serious crime,” it does not otherwise indicate that the prosecution of marijuana-related offenses is now a DOJ priority. Furthermore, the Sessions Memorandum explicitly describes itself as a guide to prosecutorial discretion. Such discretion is firmly in the hands of U.S. Attorneys in deciding whether or not to prosecute marijuana-related offenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended April 30, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $19 (2017: $5,161). There were no significant variances between the comparative periods.

CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES

For the three months ended April 30, 2018, cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $4,707. Cash flows resulted from a net loss of $19 and changes in working capital balances of $4,688.

For the three months ended April 30, 2017, cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $5,037. Cash flows resulted from a net loss of $5,161, offset by changes in working capital balances of $10,198.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s statement of financial position as at April 30, 2018, as follows:

          April 30, 2018  
    Carrying                    
    value     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3

Cash   21,099     21,099     -     -  

6



PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the three months ended April 30, 2018
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure on outstanding GST and taxes recoverable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. GST and taxes recoverable consist of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company has minimal financial assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  (i)

To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

     
  (ii)

To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature and maturity. The Company’s amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of all components of shareholders equity.

The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended January 31, 2018.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements or proposed transactions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company follows the accounting policies described in Note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018, with the exception of the new accounting standards adopted in the current year, as described below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgments. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience, but actual results may differ from amounts included in the financial statements. The critical accounting estimates and judgments used by the Company are described in Note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018.

New accounting standards adopted effective February 1, 2018

As of February 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new and amended IFRS pronouncements in accordance with transitional provisions outlined in the respective standards. The Company has adopted the following new standards without any significant effect on its financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted amendments to IFRS 2, “Share-based Payment”. The amendments provide clarification on how to account for certain types of share-based transactions. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a single forward-looking expected credit loss impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The Company adopted a retrospective approach and as IFRS 9 did not impact the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities there was no significant impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at the transition date. The introduction of the new expected credit loss impairment model did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The objective of IFRS 15 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. It also contains new disclosure requirements. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a full retrospective approach. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the period ended April 30, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases

The Company has not early adopted these new or amended standards and does not expect them to have a material effect on the Company’s future results and financial position.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

RISK FACTORS

This section discusses factors relating to the business of the Company that should be considered by both existing and potential investors. The information in this section is intended to serve as an overview and should not be considered comprehensive and the Company may face risks and uncertainties not discussed in this section, or not currently known to us, or that we deem to be immaterial. All risks to the Company’s business have the potential to influence its operations in a materially adverse manner.

The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of the Company’s management

The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from management’s expectations. The Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow may differ materially from the Company’s projected revenue, net income and cash flow. The process for estimating the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. In addition, the assumptions used in planning may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure, growth, regulatory compliance and operations

The Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure and growth and for regulatory compliance, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Company’s operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this MD&A, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events.

The medical cannabis industry and market are relatively new and this industry and market may not continue to exist or grow as anticipated or the Company may be ultimately unable to succeed in this new industry and market

In addition to being subject to general business risks, the Company must continue to build brand awareness in this industry and market through significant investments in its strategy, its production capacity, quality assurance and compliance with regulations. In addition, there is no assurance that the industry and market will continue to exist and grow as currently estimated or anticipated or function and evolve in the manner consistent with management’s expectations and assumptions. Any event or circumstance that adversely affects the cannabis industry and market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The Company may not be able to manage its growth

The Company may be subject to growth related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Company is subject to changes in laws, regulations and guidelines which could adversely affect the Company’s future business, financial condition and results of operations

The Company’s operations will be subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the manufacture, management, packaging/labelling, advertising, sale, transportation, storage and disposal of medical cannabis but also including laws and regulations relating to drugs, controlled substances, health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond the control of the Company may cause adverse effects to its operations. The Company endeavours to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company is in compliance or in the process of being assessed for compliance with all such laws, regulations and guidelines as described elsewhere in this MD&A.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

On December 20, 2017, the Prime Minister of Canada communicated that the Canadian Federal Government intends to legalize cannabis in October 2018, despite previous reports of a July 1, 2018 deadline. On June 7, 2018, Bill C45 passed the third reading in the Senate with a number of amendments to the language of the Cannabis Act. On June 20, 2018, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that cannabis would be legal by October 17, 2018. On June 21, 2018, the Government of Canada announced that Bill C-45 received Royal Assent. Bill-C-45 will come into force on October 17, 2018. On July 11, 2018, the regulations made pursuant to the Cannabis Act were published. The regulations under the Cannabis Act contemplate the various licenses including cultivation, processing, analytical testing, sale (including medical sales), analytical testing and scientific research. The regulations introduced the nursery and made outdoor cultivation permissible. Finally, the requirements for packaging and labelling of products for both medical and non-medical consumption were explicitly set forth. The impact of changes in the regulatory enforcement by Health Canada under the Cannabis Act and its regulations, particularly in respect of product packaging, labelling, marketing, advertising and promotions and product approvals and its impact on the Company’s business are unknown at this time.

In addition, when the Cannabis Act comes into effect, there is no guarantee that provincial legislation regulating the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult use purposes will be enacted according to the terms announced by such provinces, or at all, or that any such legislation, if enacted, will create the opportunities for growth anticipated by the Company. For example, the Provinces of Québec and New Brunswick have announced sales and distribution models that would create government-controlled monopolies over the legal retail and distribution of cannabis for adult use purposes in such provinces, which could limit the Company’s opportunities in those provinces.

The Company may not be able to develop its products, which could prevent it from ever becoming profitable

If the Company cannot successfully develop, manufacture and distribute its products, or if the Company experiences difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, the Company may not be able to develop market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect the Company’s ability to effectively enter the market. A failure by the Company to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in manufacturing processes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s commercialization plans and the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

There is no assurance that the Company will turn a profit or generate immediate revenues

There is no assurance as to whether the Company will be profitable, earn revenues, or pay dividends. The Company has incurred and anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial expenses relating to the development and initial operations of its business. The payment and amount of any future dividends will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, financial condition, and operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividends.

The Company faces competition from other companies where it will conduct business that may have higher capitalization, more experienced management or may be more mature as a business

An increase in the companies competing in this industry could limit the ability of the Company to expand its operations. Current and new competitors may be better capitalized, have a longer operating history, have more expertise and be able to develop higher quality equipment or products, at the same or a lower cost. The Company cannot provide assurances that it will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, despite Canadian federal and state-level legalization of marijuana, illicit or "black-market" operations remain abundant and present substantial competition to the Company. In particular, illicit operations, despite being largely clandestine, are not required to comply with the extensive regulations that the Company must comply with to conduct business, and accordingly may have significantly lower costs of operation.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

If the Company is unable to develop and market new products, it may not be able to keep pace with market developments

The cannabis industry is in its early stages and it is likely that the Company and its competitors will seek to introduce new products in the future. In attempting to keep pace with any new market developments, the Company will need to expend significant amounts of capital in order to successfully develop and generate revenues from new products. The Company may not be successful in developing effective and safe new products, bringing such products to market in time to be effectively commercialized, or obtaining any required regulatory approvals, which together with capital expenditures made in the court of such product development and regulatory approval processes, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Company is unable to attract and retain key personnel, it may not be able to compete effectively in the cannabis market

The Company’s success has depended and continues to depend upon its ability to attract and retain key management, including the Company’s CEO, technical experts, management team and sales personnel. The Company will attempt to enhance its management and technical expertise by continuing to recruit qualified individuals who possess desired skills and experience in certain targeted areas. The Company’s inability to retain employees and attract and retain sufficient additional employees or engineering and technical support resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition. Shortages in qualified personnel or the loss of key personnel could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company, results of operations of the business and could limit the Company’s ability to develop and market its cannabis-related products. The loss of any of the Company’s senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and strategy, and the Company may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of its employees.

The size of the Company’s target market is difficult to quantify, and investors will be reliant on their own estimates on the accuracy of market data

Because the cannabis industry is in a nascent stage with uncertain boundaries, there is a lack of information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in deciding about whether to invest in the Company and, few, if any, established companies whose business model the Company can follow or upon whose success the Company can build. Accordingly, investors will have to rely on their own estimates in deciding about whether to invest in the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates are accurate or that the market size is sufficiently large for its business to grow as projected, which may negatively impact its financial results. The Company regularly purchases and follows market research.

The Company’s industry is experiencing rapid growth and consolidation that may cause the Company to lose key relationships and intensify competition

The cannabis industry is undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, which has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships. Acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm the Company in a number of ways, including the loss of strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share, or forcing the Company to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm the Company’s operating results. As competitors enter the market and become increasingly sophisticated, competition in the Company’s industry may intensify and place downward pressure on retail prices for its products and services, which could negatively impact its profitability.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As the Company operates within the cannabis industry, there are additional difficulties and complexities associated with insurance coverage

As the Company is engaged in and operates within the cannabis industry, there are exclusions and additional difficulties and complexities associated with such insurance coverage that could cause the Company to suffer uninsured losses, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and profitability. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to fully utilize such insurance coverage, if necessary.

The Company may be subject to product recalls for product defects self-imposed or imposed by regulators

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although the Company has detailed procedures in place for testing its products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the Company’s significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

The Company is dependent on access to skilled labour, equipment and parts

The ability of the Company to compete and grow will be dependent on having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining the required supply of skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. It is also possible that the expansion plans contemplated by the Company may cost more than anticipated, in which circumstance the Company may curtail, or extend timeframes for completing the expansion plans. This could have a material adverse effect on the financial results and operations of the Company.

The expansion of the medical cannabis industry may require new clinical research into effective medical therapies, when such research has been restricted in the U.S. and is new to Canada

Research in Canada and internationally regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in early stages. There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC). Although the Company believes that the articles, reports and studies support its beliefs regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, future research and clinical trials may prove such statements to be incorrect, or could raise concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on such articles and reports. Future research studies and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to those stated in this MD&A or reach negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, social acceptance or other facts and perceptions related to medical cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products with the potential to lead to a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company could be liable for fraudulent or illegal activity by its employees, contractors and consultants resulting in significant financial losses or claims against the Company

The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Company that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against the Company, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of the Company’s operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company will be reliant on information technology systems and may be subject to damaging cyber-attacks

The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology ("IT") services in connection with its operations. The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well it and its suppliers protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company’s operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.

The Company has not experienced any material losses to date relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

The Company’s officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities resulting in conflicts of interest

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of its directors and the officers who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or Companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, if such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

In certain circumstances, the Company’s reputation could be damaged

Damage to the Company’s reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share opinions and views regarding the Company and its activities, whether true or not. Although the Company believes that it operates in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and that it takes care in protecting its image and reputation, the Company does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputation loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Company’s overall ability to advance its projects, thereby having a material adverse impact on financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

Negative operating cash flow

Our overall business has incurred losses since its inception. Although we expect to become profitable, there is no guarantee that will happen, and we may never become profitable. We currently have a negative operating cash flow and may continue to have that for the foreseeable future. To date, a large portion of our expenses are fixed, including expenses related to equipment, contractual commitments and personnel. As a result, we expect our net losses from operations to improve. Our ability to generate additional revenues and potential to become profitable will depend largely on our ability, to manufacture and market our products. There can be no assurance that any such events will occur or that we will ever become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot predict the level of such profitability. If we sustain losses over an extended period of time, we may be unable to continue our business.

Product liability

As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company’s products alone or in combination with others, that the Company’s products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of the Company’s potential products.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Publicity or consumer perception

The Company believes the medical marijuana industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the medical marijuana produced. Consumer perception of the Company’s products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medical marijuana products.

There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the medical marijuana market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s cash flows. The Company’s dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of medical marijuana in general, or the Company’s products specifically, or associating the consumption of medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Difficulties with forecasts

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the medical marijuana industry in Canada and the United States. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Risks of foreign operations

The Company’s strategy includes exporting its expertise and technologies to foreign countries. Working outside of Canada gives rise to the risk of dealing with business and political systems that are different than what the Company is accustomed to in Canada. The potential risks include: expropriation or nationalization; civil insurrection; labour unrest; strikes and other political risks; fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange controls; increases in duties and taxes; and changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign based companies. Restrictions on repatriation of capital or distributions of earnings could adversely affect the Company in the future

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws

The Company is subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Failure to comply with these laws could subject the Company to, among other things, reputational damage, civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures and legal expenses which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. It may not be possible for the Company to ensure compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in every jurisdiction in which its employees, agents, sub-contractors or joint venture partners are located or may be located in the future.

Market risks for securities

The market price of common shares, should the Company become listed on a securities exchange, may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts’ expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, changes in the business prospects for the Company, general economic conditions, legislative changes, and other events and factors outside of the Company’s control.

PODA TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
For the three months ended April 30, 2018
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends on its issued and outstanding common shares to date and may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the Common Shares unless they sell their common shares of the Company for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

Financing risk

The Company will be dependent upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting its development and future operating cost requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. An economic downturn of global capital markets has been shown to make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. These and other factors may impact the Company’s ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favourable to the Company and its management. The Company may not be able to raise capital on favourable terms or at all, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and the trading price of the common shares, should the Company become listed on a securities exchange. Additionally, future financing may substantially dilute the interests of the Company's shareholders.
