This presentation is very forward-looking in its statements, and these statements may not be based on fact, including without limitation, statements

regarding Xebra Brands Ltd’s (“XEBRA”) expectations in respect of its ability to successfully execute its business plan; its ability to raise additional capital

and fund its ongoing operations; plans for future growth and the direction of the business; financial projections including expected revenues, gross profits,

and EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP financial measure); plans to increase product volumes, the capacity of existing facilities, supplies from third party

growers and contractors; expected growth of the cannabis industry generally; management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions; events or

developments that XEBRA expects to take place in the future; and general economic conditions. All statements, other than statements of historical facts,

are forward-looking information and statements. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”,

“estimate”, “may”, “will”, and similar expressions identify forward-looking information and statements.

Such forward-looking information and statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by

XEBRA as of the date of such information and statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and

contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information and

statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the inability of XEBRA to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient funds to carry out its

business plan; changes in government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in various countries; risks

associated with agriculture and cultivation activities generally, including inclement weather, access to supply of seeds, poor crop yields, and spoilage;

compliance with import and export laws of various countries; significant fluctuations in cannabis prices and transportation costs; the risk of obtaining

necessary licenses and permits; inability to identify, negotiate and complete a potential acquisition for any reason; the ability to retain key employees;

dependence on third parties for services and supplies; non-performance by contractual counterparties; general economic conditions; and the continued

growth in global demand for cannabis products and the continued increase in jurisdictions legalizing cannabis; and the timely receipt of regulatory approval

for Medicannabis’ license applications. The foregoing list is not exhaustive and XEBRA undertakes no obligation to update any of the foregoing except as

required by law. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies could affect XEBRA’s actual performance and cause its actual performance to differ

materially from what has been expressed or implied in any forward-looking information and statements made by, or on behalf of, XEBRA. Readers are

cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are not guarantees of future performance. There can be no assurance that such information and

statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those acknowledged in such information and

statements.

XEBRA disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information and statements whether as a result of new information,

future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.
