Company Summary and Highlights

Pineapple Express Delivery Inc.

World-Class holds a controlling interest in Pineapple Express Delivery Inc. ("PED"), a company which offers compliant and secure delivery of government-controlled substances and regulated products, including medical and recreational cannabis in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and liquor delivery in certain jurisdictions in Saskatchewan. Within Ontario, PED currently offers same day delivery to 17 locations and 3-day delivery to 31 locations. PED continues to improve and expand its existing delivery services and expects to launch prescription medication delivery in British Columbia and the Greater Toronto Area in the near term.

PED anticipates its revenues will increase over the coming months resulting from expansion into new jurisdictions, and the continuing growth of deliveries for the B2B sector, which has seen month-over-month increases in revenue since May 2020.

Randy Rolph, CEO & Founder of PED stated: "The guiding principles of Pineapple Express Delivery is that clients and patients should be able to receive their regulated product orders (alcohol, prescription medications and cannabis) as quickly, safely and as easily as they can obtain any other product in Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic creates a new landscape for same-day and last-mile delivery, and PED is staying at the forefront in implementing safety requirements for the protection of clients, patients and drivers alike. All PED drivers are trained to follow safe social distancing protocols and are equipped with all necessary PPE items, and driver vehicles are equipped with a 360º security camera. COVID requirements are maintained daily at PED facilities, including disinfecting with special products proven to kill 99.99% of bacteria. PED continues to advance into new territories, offering safe and secure delivery opportunities to better serve the public. PED aspires to be the ‘Amazon' of regulated products in a very secure and controlled environment of same-day delivery."

Rosy Mondin, CEO of World-Class stated: "Pineapple Express Delivery continues to impress, showing sequential revenue growth with significant operating margins, which World-Class is able to capture on its financial statements. As infectious disease experts warn of the fall/winter surge of COVID-19 infections, we will likely see people return to similar shopping habits as seen early in the pandemic- that is Canadians will increasingly make more purchases online. With PED's territorial and service expansions, we expect PED to continue to be the leader in safe and swift delivery of controlled substances and regulated products."
