Second Quarter: CBD Oil / Medicinal Highlights

• ICC received approval by the Uruguayan government to expand cultivation land package by an additional 494 acres on June 6, 2017. The additional land will be used for medicinal CBD flower production for cannabinoid extracts and by-products, bringing total CBD flower land package to almost 560 acres. ICC increased its production plan by approximately 800% with this land expansion, becoming one of the largest licensed acreages for CBD production in the world.
• Construction of a new 21,528 square foot greenhouse began in April 2017 and was completed in the quarter. The Company intends to use the new facility for production of its cannabis plants destined for the production of CBD extracts and by-products for medicinal use.
• ICC acquired 100 kilograms of "Helena" CBD strain hemp seeds, a monoecious homozygous variety containing 0.07% of tetrahydro-cannabidiol (THC) in April 2017.

These seeds contain an oil content between 28% and 32% and a high level protein content of approximately 25%.
• ICC began germinating 5,000 Helena seeds in its new 21,528 square foot greenhouse. Working at full capacity, the greenhouse is expected to allow the Company to work with 5,000 plants per cycle, having at least three cycles per year, resulting in a minimum of 15,000 plants per year for medicinal purposes. Harvesting of the first crop is expected to commence in November 2017.
• ICC's construction of South America's first CBD extraction laboratory using supercritical fluid CO2 extraction technique with state-of-the-art equipment from Europe continues on schedule and on budget.

The Company is committed to obtaining GMP certification and all other certifications required.
