"While the emerging cannabis industry is expected to create significant value in the long-term, the short-term remains volatile, as seen in the value declines across the industry over the past month." says Jamie Blundell, President and Chief Operating Officer of CGOC. "Our strategy of actively managing a diversified portfolio of both public and private investments has been critical in navigating this volatility, and has resulted in a portfolio value performance well above key industry benchmarks. At the August 13 close, the portfolio was trading at a 27.6% discount to the NAV, a level we expect to narrow as shareholders recognize the performance of our team."

Non-IFRS Measures
NAV is a non-IFRS (international financial reporting standards) measure and was calculated based on the estimated value of CGOC's investments less its liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes that NAV can provide information useful to its shareholders in understanding its performance and may assist in the evaluation of its business relative to its peers.
