Pedanios is a federally licensed medical and narcotic wholesale and GMP inspected narcotic import company, holding all relevant licenses and permits, and has been successfully importing, exporting, and distributing cannabis for medical purposes since December 2015, into and within the EU.
In January 2017, Germany’s parliament unanimously passed a new medical cannabis law, which appointed physicians as gatekeepers to access, established pharmacies as the point of sale, and introduced full insurance cost-coverage for medical cannabis patients across the country. In March 2017, when the new law came into force Pedanios’ monthly sales immediately doubled and growth continues to accelerate as Germany’s 80 million citizens begin to benefit from the improvements to patient access guaranteed by the new law.
Pedanios, over the last 90 days, has achieved cash flow positive operations, with gross revenues of about C$1.15 million, and costs of approximately C$1 million. Revenues for May, up to and including May 26, 2017, were approximately C$0.5 million, reflecting a 410% increase in the daily sales pace as compared to average for the eight months prior to the introduction of the new law, and an increase over the April and March 2017 averages of 70% and 108%, respectively.
This acquisition could be bad news for Aurora Cannabis rival Cronos Group Inc. (TSXV: MJN), whose wholly-owned licensed producer, the Peace Naturals Project Inc., developed a co-brand supply agreement with Pedanios GmbH.
