INTERVIEW – Lexaria Corp. Goes “Beyond The Press Release” to discuss the company’s second production facility and vendor intention to finance up to $3,000,000
New York Times Investigates Canadian Marijuana Industry
Lexaria Announces Second Production Facility in Ontario
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28, 2014 — On May 24, 2014 the New York Times published a 2,900 word expose on the Canadian medical marijuana industry, centering on a chocolate factory in Smith Falls, Ontario converted to a climate-controlled marijuana plant now operated by Tweed Marijuana, a publicly traded company worth $121 million.
“The Canadian government decided to create an extensive, heavily regulated system for growing and selling marijuana,” explained the New York Times article, “The new rules allow users with prescriptions to buy only from one of the approved, large-scale, profit-seeking producers.”
The Canadian government estimates that within the next decade the marijuana business will generate more than $3.1 billion a year in taxable sales.
On May 27, 2014 Lexaria Corporation (CSE:LXX) (OTCQB:LXRP) announced that it had entered a detailed Letter of Intent for its second marijuana production facility in Eastern Ontario, Canada.
The agricultural growing facility has total potential area of over 80,000 square foot to be completed in a multi-phase development program. Lexaria will be the operator of this facility and owns 100% rights, with no overrides or royalties due to any party.
Other recent successes in the Canadian medical marijuana space are Windfire Capital whose stock price has tripled in the last 12 months and Affinor which has experienced 1000% share price increase after diversifying into medical marijuana and industrial hemp.
Like many of the new marijuana captains, Lexaria President and CEO Chris Bunka is slightly bemused to find himself in the industry.
“I’m 52 years old and I never smoked a joint in my life,” stated Bunka in an exclusive interview with Financial Press, “But I know that I can deploy capital in the medical licensed marijuana business and earn a greater return per dollar than I can in the oil and gas business.”
In 2006 Lexaria discovered an oil field in the state of Mississippi. Over the last three fiscal years, that field has produced about $100,000 a month in revenue.
“The oil field is not large enough to capture the love of the investing public,” admitted Bunka, “but it enabled us to function without doing any harm to existing shareholders.”
Bunka’s plan is to divest Lexaria’s oil assets to fund and focus on the medical marijuana industry – using the same philosophy of first protecting and then growing shareholder value.
“Our first marijuana project is a joint venture which we have a 49% stake in, with Enertopia,” stated Bunka, “Our facility is potentially as large as 75,000 feet – and municipal approval is expected soon.”
Intent that Lexaria control its own destiny, the company acquired 100% interest in a facility in Eastern Ontario.
“The building owner is contributing up to $1 million toward the renovations of the building,” stated Bunka, “In addition they are intending to invest up to $2 million in our recently announced financing, so they will become part-owners of Lexaria.”
Lexaria has not had to issue any shares in order to acquire this newest marijuana facility.
“If Lexaria has difficulties obtaining municipal approval for this building, the property owner will make another facility available in another municipality,” stated Bunka, “Let’s face it, crops are vulnerable to disease, licences occasionally get revoked. To protect shareholder value, it is important not to put all your eggs in one basket. Our intention is to spread the risk over multiple facilities.”
Over the last six years, Bunka has personally invested over $1.5 million in Lexaria. Documents posted on sedar.com confirm that the majority of the shares have been purchased on the open market. There is no record of any shares being sold by Bunka.
The medical marijuana space is heating up but Lexaria’s track record indicates that management is not looking for a quick exit. The company is adapting its business model to a new opportunity, with an eye to rapid growth and risk mitigation.
We anticipate getting approvals from the municipal government in Eastern Ontario as well as the fire department and police,” stated Bunka, “We will hire a consulting group to ensure that the licensing application meets all criteria. Shortly after this we hope to get a “comfort letter” from Health Canada confirming that there are no serious deficiencies in the application – adding another layer of shareholder security.
Lexaria is now involved in two potential marijuana production facilities, both located in Ontario, and each capable of expansion and large enough to offer significant cost efficiencies compared to smaller facilities.
“It’s just so rare that you have an industry that’s growing but which has a huge established market,” stated Tweed CEO Chuck Rifici in the New York Times article.
Most medical users consume 1-3 grams per day. Consuming 1 gram a day at $7.80 per gram is an annual expenditure of $2,847 per customer.
Lexaria is trading at .25 with a market cap of under $8 million.

Lexaria Announces Second Production Facility and Vendor Intention to Finance up to $3,000,000
Kelowna, British Columbia–(May 27, 2014) – Lexaria Corp. (OTCQB: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) announces it has entered a detailed Letter of Intent with Huntington Property Group Inc, an Ottawa-based real estate developer for its second marijuana production facility in Canada. As provided for in Letter of Intent, Lexaria also announces a financing intention of up to $3,000,000, including Vendor Financing, subject to certain terms and conditions as detailed in the Letter of Intent.
The facility is located in the Eastern Ontario area and is of a total potential area of over 80,000 sq ft; to be completed in an expected multi-phase development program. The first phase is to be over 20,000 sq ft. Lexaria will be the operator of this facility and would own 100% rights, with no overrides or royalties due to any party. Lexaria is issuing no shares whatsoever in order to acquire the rights to this facility.
No lease (rent) payments are scheduled to begin until such time as the municipality grants its approval of the building zoning for marijuana production purposes. Lexaria and the building owner are preparing an application to the municipality for such approval and based upon available information anticipate that such approval could be granted within 90 days. In the event the municipality does not for any reason approve the building for the purpose of medical marijuana production, Lexaria and the building owner have agreed to locate and use an alternate building.
Alan Whitten, President of Huntington Property Group Inc. says, “We are happy to get involved in this burgeoning sector. We believe in Lexaria’s growth plan and have confidence in their personnel to achieve their plans, and are pleased to commit to it. We look forward to a mutually beneficial long term relationship, as our investment indicates.”
Lexaria notes that this agreement for its second production facility was negotiated and entered only six weeks after its first production facility was announced, which was the 49%-owned joint venture with Enertopia Corp.
Lexaria will own 100% interest in the production facility by paying 100% of all initial and ongoing expenses related to the project. An initial 10-year lease will be entered, with options to renew the lease for an additional 16 years. The vendor is contributing up to $1,000,000 in cash payments directed toward the conversion costs required to renovate for the marijuana production facility, thus reducing Lexaria’s capex in the renovation costs.
Lexaria is also pleased to announce that a number of investors, including the building owner, have agreed in principle and subject to suitability and other conditions, to invest up to $2,000,000 into Lexaria, on terms in accordance with Canadian Securities Exchange and all regulatory requirements including required restricted periods. The intended investment would be part of the financing recently announced by Lexaria, and would be by Canadian accredited, non-US persons. Proceeds from this financing will be used to build out the Eastern Ontario facility for the purposes of medical marijuana production, and for general working capital. Lexaria cautions that the Letter of Intent is a preliminary step only and cannot provide any assurances that the Letter of Intent will result in a successfully closed acquisition or financing.
The securities referred to herein will not be or have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Chris Bunka commented that “We are very pleased to enter the next phase of our growth initiative with the prestigious Huntington Property Group Inc. We intend to nurture this relationship for the benefit of all our shareholders. We share a common vision, and will also enjoy long term benefits as confirmed by their capital commitment.”
Lexaria believes that all stakeholders, including prospective customers, shareholders and others, are best served by Lexaria operating under more than a single Health Canada license under the MMPR. Multiple licenses protect shareholders and customers by adding redundancy to operations, and avoiding or mitigating loss in the event of unexpected production complications or any other unpredictable events.
Lexaria is now involved in two potential marijuana production facilities, both located in Ontario, each capable of significant expansion from Phase I initial buildout, and each large enough to offer significant cost efficiencies compared to smaller facilities.
The new facility in no way reduces Lexaria’s commitment to its previously announced greater Toronto area facility, which continues to advance separately. The Company looks forward to reporting additional developments on the advancement of this facility as they occur.
