13 Corporate Strategy Nutritional High is seeking to expand nationally by either pursuing organic growth strategies or pursuing acquisition opportunities focused on: Cole Memo Compliant Operations Only. Nutritional High is only focused on the operations which operate within adequate licensing frameworks and are in compliance with the requirements of the Cole Memo. High Growth Potential States. Nutritional High selects the states which have a high growth potential. While the U.S. states which have legalized marijuana for adult recreational use are the primary focus, Nutritional High will take steps to expand into the states which have legalized marijuana for medical use with significant population base, or have potential for legalization for adult recreational use in the near to medium term. Focus on High-Margin Segments. Nutritional High is focused on the edibles and oil extracts segment of the marijuana industry, which it believes to have the highest margin potential and provide an opportunity for rapid scaling. The Company may work in other value chain segments (such as cultivation or retail dispensaries) in the jurisdictions which have implemented a "seed-to-sale" regulatory licensing model, or where a focus solely on edibles or oil extracts is too prohibitive on stand-alone basis. Compliant Structure and Transparency with the Regulators. In the U.S. States with residency requirements, the Company will work exclusively with Licensed Operators to provide a suite of services (such as providing real estate, financing, brands and expertise) to facilitate expansion of the Licensed Operator s business in the edible MIPs and oil extract markets. In the states without the residency requirements the Company may also apply for licenses directly or enter into JV arrangements with other companies. Creating Leading Products. Manufacturing high quality products with consistent THC levels has been one of the dominant problems faced by the industry. Nutritional High aims to manufacture products that can become industry leading in terms of quality, THC levels and have appealing packaging design in each market from day one

18 Risk Disclosure The Company is seeking to establish new business lines, which inherently contains a high degree of risk. The subscribers in the Offering are cautioned to review the following risk factors in addition to those contained in public disclosure record of the Company (available on relating to the Company: (1) The Company has a very limited operating history in an emerging area of business and had negative cash flows from operations in its most recently completed financial year. (2) Non-compliance with federal, provincial or state laws and regulations, or the expansion of current, or the enactment of new laws or regulations, could adversely affect the Company's business. (3) The Company may become subject to additional government regulation and legal uncertainties that could restrict the demand for its services or increase its cost of doing business, thereby adversely affecting its financial results. (4) The Company may be required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses and approvals in the jurisdictions where their products are licensed, although the Company does not anticipate such approvals will be necessary. (5) As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation, if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. (6) Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. (7) The Company may not be able to accurately predict its future capital needs and it may not be able to secure additional financing. (8) The market price of the Common Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. (9) The Company is currently in the early development stage. There is a risk that the additional resources will be needed and milestones will not be achieved on time, on budget, or at all, as they can be adversely affected by a variety of factors. (10) The Company may face intense competition and expects competition to increase in the future, which could prohibit its development of customer base and generating revenue. (11) The Company's operations are subject to environmental and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and nonhazardous materials and wastes, and employee health and safety. (12) The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the industry in the U.S. (13) The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. (14) The Company has no earnings or dividend record, and does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends paid by the Company would be subject to tax and, potentially, withholdings. (15) Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the Company's financial position and results. (16) In the event of a dispute arising from the Company's foreign operations, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdictions of courts in Canada. (17) Officers and directors of the Company own significant shares and can exercise significant influence. (18) Sales of a large number of Common Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Common Shares and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through future sales of Common Shares. (19) Volatile global financial and economic conditions may negatively affect the Company's operations
