ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

     On January 24,  2018 the Company  entered  into a  non-exclusive  licensing
agreement with an affiliate of Harborside Health Association LLC.

     The license provided Harborside with the rights to the Company's technology
which will enable  Harborside to manufacture and distribute its proprietary line
of products.  In consideration for the license,  Harborside will pay the Company
the greater of:

     o    5% of the gross price paid by Harborside  for the  manufacture  of the
          products; or

     o    2.5% of the wholesale  price  received by Harborside  from the sale of
          the products.

     For purposes of the agreement,  the "wholesale price" for any product means
the gross price obtained by a distributor  licensed by Harborside  from the sale
of any  products in an arm's length  transaction  with  another  distributor  or
retailer,  excluding cannabis tax payments for remittance to taxing authorities;
and,  for  non-arm's  length  sales,  the  average  price  which could have been
obtained in an arm's length transaction.

     The technology licensed to Harborside covers the Company's patented methods
of extracting, preparing and using cannabis.

     The agreement has a term of three years.
