JustKitchen Acquires Virtual Branding Rights to the Life Kitchen and Hot Pot Festival Taiwanese Food Brands

Four New Proprietary Menus Also Launched featuring Breakfast, Ramen Noodles, Sliders and Soup

Just Kitchen Holdings Corp. (" JustKitchen " or the " Company ") (TSXV: JK) ( Frankfurt : 68Z), an operator of ghost kitchens specializing in the development of delivery-only food brands for customers, is pleased to announce that it has recently acquired the virtual branding rights to the Life Kitchen ("Life Kitchen") and Kai Guo Ji which translates as Hot Pot Festival ("Hot Pot Festival"), as third-party Taiwanese food brands (collectively, the "New Partner Brands"). Founded in 2017, Life Kitchen is a leading healthy food brand that upgrades traditional bento meals to a premium culinary experience. Well known as an e-commerce brand, Hot Pot Festival offers pre-packaged ingredients that JustKitchen will uniquely offer in a single-serving, ready-to-eat and delivery-only format.

The New Partner Brands have been added to the Company's recently launched and previously announced mobile application, the JustKitchen App, as well as to other external delivery platforms. The royalty-based agreement with Life Kitchen is for an initial term of three years, with a Company-held option to extend the term by two years, and provides the virtual branding rights to JustKitchen on an exclusive basis for the entirety of Taiwan except for a radius of four kilometers around Life Kitchen's four existing locations. The cost-based agreement with Hot Pot Festival secures the virtual branding rights to JustKitchen on a perpetual basis for the entirety of Taiwan , subject to a mutual annual review conducted for the agreement to remain in effect.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has recently launched four new proprietary food brands (the "New In-House Brands") and their associated menus, under the following banners:

Bodyfit Breakfast – an extension of JustKitchen's successful Bodyfit menu of healthy food items for the morning hours;
Burgers & Dogs – drawing on the appeal of western culture, American-style sliders with hot dogs and fries to follow shortly;
Craftsman's Soul Made Ramen and Donburi – a meticulous offering of Japanese-style ramen noodles and donburi rice meals; and
Old Brew Soup Noodle Shop – a variety of noodle-based soups featuring braised, spiced or otherwise prepared proteins.

The New In-House Brands were each conceptualized in rapid response to emerging trends revealed through the analysis of the Company's own data and launched with minimal capital investment and an average of 45 days from concept to commercialization. In aggregate, JustKitchen now offers customers a portfolio of 17 proprietary menus and six partner brands for a total of 23 different cuisines at various price points.

"The addition of Life Kitchen to our growing portfolio of partner brands, in combination with our proprietary menus from Bodyfit and Go Lean , positions us as the leading provider of healthy delivery-only food items in Taiwan ," said Jason Chen , Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of JustKitchen. "The offering of Hot Pot Festival creates a unique, single-serving experience that would otherwise only typically be served in a group setting. The acquisition of the virtual branding rights to these two partner brands and the launch of our new in-house menus showcases how technology enables us to adapt to culinary trends while executing to a high standard, which we feel results in JustKitchen providing its customers with a better overall experience," added Mr. Chen.

Additionally, JustKitchen has recently retained A-Labs Advisory & Finance Ltd. ("A-Labs") to provide shareholder communications services to the Company (the "Services"). A-Labs is one of the industry's leading managers of capital markets strategies and creators of a uniquely diverse network of institutional investors, family offices and retail investor groups. A-Labs has agreed to comply with all applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") in providing the Services. A-Labs has been engaged by the Company for an initial period of one year (the "Initial Term"), unless terminated by the Company in accordance with the agreement. A-Labs will be paid a monthly cash fee of $30,000 US dollars, plus applicable media spend and taxes, during the Initial Term. The Services are being provided at an arm's length as JustKitchen and A-Labs are unrelated and unaffiliated entities. A-Labs will not receive shares or options as compensation for the Services and it currently does not own any securities of the Company.

Nanalysis Corp. Receives Funding Supporting AI Software Development for Detection of Illicit Substances

Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company" or "Nanalysis", TSXV: NSCI OTCQX: NSCIF FRA: 1N1 ), a leader in portable NMR machines, MRI technology for industrial and research applications, and detection equipment services, announces that its subsidiary Nanalysis Corp. is receiving advisory services and up to $1.45 million in non-repayable, non-dilutive funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), to develop Artificial Intelligence based software tools to detect illicit substances on top of the Company's portable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers.

In the global fight against substance abuse, federal, state, provincial, county and municipal governments around the world are tasked with characterizing increasing volumes of seized contraband. This characterization requires an array of different analytical techniques and is carried out by skilled forensic scientists in thousands of laboratories worldwide. In many cases these laboratories face significant sample backlog due to volume and may have difficulties in identifying new designer drugs.

This project, scheduled for three years, will focus on using quantum mechanical modelling and AI tools to perform analysis of magnetic resonance results generated by Nanalysis benchtop instruments. These tools will not only identify known illicit drugs but will also identify unknown drugs that are derivatives of known illicit substances also referred to as designer drugs or new psychoactive substances (NPS). The non-destructive nature of NMR spectroscopy and the fact that unlike traditional forensic testing methods, it is non-targeted, uniquely positions it to help identify these drugs. The company is developing this application in the context of its quantitative NMR platform technology, which has other applications as well, beyond illicit drug detection.

"We are very grateful for the support of NRC IRAP to further develop complementary software for our Benchtop products," said Nanalysis CEO and Founder Sean Krakiwsky . "This project builds on our ongoing relationship with the LKA police organization in Germany and on our continued culture of magnetic resonance innovation. We look forward to providing more solutions for law enforcement in combatting the increasingly societal problem of designer drugs and other deadly toxins."
