“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
