“We are very pleased to announce the recognition of revenue from the installation and commissioning of three QuickStrip™ production equipment systems,” said Mark Upsdell, CEO of RDT. “Revenues from the production of cannabis products by our partners also began to be recognized in September 2019.”

Second Quarter Financial Review

The following tables contain financial information for the periods indicated. For full financial information, notes and management commentary, please refer to the Financial Statements and MD&A posted on RDT’s website and SEDAR. All financial information is provided in Canadian dollars, unless specified otherwise.

Included in operating expenses for the three-month period ended August 31, 2019 is a one-time non-cash charge of $441,790 for the initial issuance of stock options to an Officer and employees of the Company.

Operations Update

The results of a bioanalytical research study conducted by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, was published in the Scientific journal, Frontiers in Pharmacology, highlighting that QuickStrip™ delivery resulted in higher serum levels of caffeine measured between one minute and 30 minutes following administration, and greater bioavailability compared to direct administration into the stomach via the gavage method.

RDT submitted a site license application for a micro-processor license, to enable RDT to manufacture its QuickStrip™ cannabis products in-house in Burlington, Ontario on a white-label basis for licensed Canadian producers.

RDT has a total of six signed MSSAs for the production of QuickStrip™ cannabis products, and two signed agreements for the purchase of nutraceutical products.

On the basis that the MSSAs remain in effect for the full five year terms, and the current nutraceutical agreements are entirely fulfilled, these agreements represent minimum contracted revenues of approximately $35 million, which will be recognized by RDT upon the completion of delivery of equipment and/or product to RDT’s partners and over the remaining life of the agreements. Additional revenues may also be recognized above this total if RDT’s partners attain certain production levels.

“We are now focused on the delivery and installation of our proprietary production equipment in facilities in California, Michigan, and Germany to commence the recognition of recurring revenues from these signed contracts and are committed to remaining a global industry leader in the oral thin film strip market,” said Mark Upsdell, CEO of RDT.

Closing of Private Placement

Today, RDT also completed the second and final closing of a private placement of common shares in the capital of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.70 per Common Share. Gross proceeds raised on both tranches of the private placement was $893,276 (the “Private Placement”). A total of 1,276,108 Common Shares were issued to investors, including directors and senior officers of RDT, in connection with the second closing of the Private Placement.

Certain of the Common Shares issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period. The proceeds received from the Private Placement will be used by the Corporation to strengthen its working capital position and for general corporate purposes.

Given that directors and senior officers of the Corporation participated in the Private Placement, that portion of the Private Placement constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). In its consideration and approval of the Private Placement, the board of directors of the Corporation determined that the Private Placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the Common Shares issued to related parties did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation, in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of MI 61-101. The Corporation did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to the anticipated date of completion of the Private Placement due to the Corporation’s determination that it was in the best interests of the Corporation to avail itself of the proceeds and complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.
