The application was submitted in November 2014 and the Company continues to work through the application process. The process is a long and thorough one, with application milestones that change as the MMPR program matures. These factors are out of the Company's control, however management is doing its best to respond promptly whenever there is a request from the regulators regarding the application. The Company believes that it has a solid production plan based on years of hands-on medical cannabis cultivation that will provide high quality and low cost medicinal cannabis to qualified Canadian patients. GrowPros in encouraged by the recent granting of licenses and the increased transparency of the application process. GrowPros continues to perform routine audits of the application to ensure it completeness and to proactively address any required amendments.

GrowPros retains the right to execute its purchase at any time.
