On February 12, 2020, the Company amended the purchase agreement with SDP Development, of which a Director of the Company is a principal owner.  The Company had agreed on February 4, 2019 (Note 3) to purchase SDP Development on October 15, 2020, which owned six real estate properties that were leased in connection with Phantom Farms' cannabis cultivation, processing and wholesale distribution operations.  The aggregate purchase price was $8,010,000 payable in cash, or, at the election of the vendors, in whole or in part by the issue of 2,670,000 shares at  $3.00 per common share.

On February 12, 2020 the parties agreed to the following modified terms: the Company purchased the two Southern Oregon farms from SDP Development constituting over 60 acres of real property housing the two outdoor cannabis cultivation facilities totaling 80,000 square feet of canopy, rent reduction on the three Phantom properties in Central Oregon, and a release from the obligation to purchase the sixth property in Southern Oregon. In exchange, the SDP vendors received 7,132,041 common shares of the Company with a fair value of $2,582,903.  The consideration exceeded the fair market value of the land acquired and as a result, the Company recorded transaction costs of $1,204,740.
