Ovation Science Seeks Greater US Distribution as the Cannabis Market Continues to Grow

PR Newswire

Amended US Licensing Agreement Allows for US Expansion

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – (CSE: OVAT) (OTC: OVATF) – Ovation Science Inc. (“Ovation” or the “Company”) announces that by mutual agreement its Licensing Agreement of November 10, 2017 with Lighthouse Strategies, LLC. (“Lighthouse”) has been amended in order to facilitate Ovation’s prospective expansion plans into additional states beyond Nevada in the US (the “Amendment”). Due to the continuing refinement of Ovation’s business strategy for its cannabis products and because of Lighthouse’s success in Nevada with Ovation’s topical cannabis products, Lighthouse will focus its efforts on expanding its leadership in topicals in Nevada for a period of one year; renewable by mutual consent.  In connection with the Amendment, Lighthouse will have the exclusive rights to Ovation’s topical products containing THC and sold exclusively in Nevada dispensaries and the non-exclusive rights to Ovation’s topical CBD products in Nevada only. Along with the previous terms of the Agreement, the Amendment specifies a Minimum Quarterly payment.

“The cannabis industry has evolved tremendously in the past three years when we first introduced Ovation’s formulations into the US marketplace and notably even in the past two weeks following the US election.” said Mr. Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. “We are focused on creating greater shareholder value and therefore are excited to now have the opportunity to seek additional licensees across the United States with this new Amendment in place. Our strategic growth plan is to secure multi-state operators through-out the US that have the infrastructure and marketing expertise in their regions to launch Ovation’s CBD and THC topical products of which we have over 25 formulations developed including our beauty line ARLO CBD Beauty and our wellness line Invibe®MD. We have already proven the superiority of our products in Nevada with Lighthouse and believe this can be duplicated and expanded into other states.” He added, “We also realize that there are Canadian and European companies that are seeking a foot-hold into the US market with science-based cannabis topical products and we will pursue those opportunities as well.”

The recent changes to the cannabis market have highlighted greater opportunity for expanded US distribution of Ovation’s patented topical and transdermal products. The pandemic has not slowed down overall cannabis sales, in fact, most US states and Canada showing record sales since the spring. (Sources: NewCannabisVentures.com, Sept 2020July Cannabis Sales Surge in 5 Western States” and Statista.com: www.statista.com/statistics/1045766/cannabis-store-sales-canada/). The election results showed that the legalization of marijuana continues to be widely accepted as shown by the recent unanimous approval of five more states legalizing medical or recreational marijuana (Arizona, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota).  Additionally, there are over 90 bills in front of Congress including a comprehensive Democratic initiative called the More Act which could legalize cannabis federally. (TheFreshToast.com, Oct. 22, 2020: “Why The 2020 Election Could Change Everything For The Cannabis Industry”.)  This new legislation will be decidedly impactful for the cannabis industry with edibles and topicals standing to gain significantly from these changes to federal restrictions (Source: Happi.com 04.10.20 “MarketWatch: CBD Edibles & Topicals Expected to Gain Share of Cannabis Market”).   

Medical marijuana is now legal in 36 states plus the District of Columbia with 15 states having both medical and recreational cannabis approved. According to Statista.com, by 2024 retail sales of marijuana could reach as high as US$ 12 billion in sales, with medical marijuana sales expected to double. The CBD skin care market, one of markets where Ovation is position, is projected to reach US$959 million by 2024 (Source: Prohibition Partners: “The Impact Series: Disrupting Beauty.”)

iDENT and Limitless Integrations Adds PATSCAN Platform to its Mobile Onsite Detection System for Stadiums & Event Venues

The iDENT MODSTM to Use Patriot One’s Threat Detection Solutions to Help Instill Event Goer Confidence to Return to Their Favorite Entertainment and Sporting Programs

TORONTO, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iDENT LLC and Limitless Integrations LLC announced the launch of the patent pending iDENT MODSTM (Mobile Onsite Detection System) that will include Patriot One Technologies Inc.’s (TSX: PAT) (OTCQX: PTOTF) (FRANKFURT: 0PL) (“Patriot One”) PATSCAN Multi-Sensor Threat Detection Platform with specific modules for the early detection of weapons and potential-health related threats, such as viruses. The iDENT MODS unit has been designed to be used in key public gathering locations, such as stadiums, arenas, entertainment venues, and other secure facilities.

Leaders from the entertainment, professional sports, and events industries have expressed great interest in the iDENT MODS units, and its inclusion of the PATSCAN Platform, to ensure a safe and secure environment for their patrons. The solution will be showcased over the next several months, with the intent to restore trust and confidence to their customers and allow staff and talent to return to work and play.

Photos accompanying this announcement are available at:

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/5379ef59-b1b1-44a2-b185-fc17ad303d2b

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/2416a94b-9d0c-40a9-a212-ed96a7789933

The iDENT MODS unit was specifically designed in response to key entertainment and professional sports clients who were looking for an all-inclusive physical threat and health safety solution that could be used to re-open their venues safely and securely. The goal was to minimize time and inconvenience for all event goers, and venue staff at onsite security checkpoints, while providing enhanced safety and security at the venue.

“These iDENT MODS offer event promoters and venue operators a touchless and frictionless security screening process for up to 1800 people per lane per hour,” explained Albert Reynolds, iDENT’s COO and Co-founder. “Our two (2) or six (6) lane units offer great options for front of house or back of house screening to ensure customer, staff and talent safety and security as they attend their favorite programs.”

By incorporating the PATSCAN Platform’s innovative AI-powered threat detection solutions, visitors to event or sports venue can be quickly screened for visible and concealed threats at the outer perimeter of facilities’ plazas, so when entering the secure area all are ensured a great experience. The PATSCAN solutions leverage advanced AI capabilities, correlating data from multiple sensing devices, in near-real time, allowing for very high accuracy, and a pre-emptive approach to minimizing or eliminating risk. By looking for, and identifying risks first, and then identifying individuals, the solution also protects all attendee’s privacy and civil liberties. If a threat is detected, whether associated with weapons, or health risks, onsite security will be immediately notified, and the individual will be flagged for additional screening before gaining access to the stadium or arena.

“Opening up event venues is critical to our communities from both an economic and social perspective,” expressed Peter Evans, CEO of Patriot One, “Incorporating our PATSCAN platform threat detection solutions into these mobile onsite detection units not only provides entertainment, hospitality and retail businesses the opportunity to return to work, but it also provides event goers the confidence that they will be safe and secure as they return to their favorite entertainment and sporting events.”

The iDENT MODS are constructed from mobile shipping containers, which can be transported from one venue to another, and be quickly deployed. Event goers, along with onsite venue staff and talent, simply walk through a mobile checkpoint in 4 simple steps without the need to empty their pockets of keys, cellphones, wallets, change or other personal items.

  • Step 1: As an event attendee approaches the iDENT MODS unit the PATSCAN VRS Weapon & Facial Mask video detection solutions identify potential visible threats in real-time.
  • Step 2: As the attendee passes through the unit, the PATSCAN MSG multi-sensor gateway instantly scans for concealed weapons, such as larger knives, guns and rifles.
  • Step 3: As the concealed weapon scan is taking place, the PATSCAN VRS-T solution scans for elevated body temperature, which may indicate a viral threat.
  • Step 4: As the event attendee prepares to leave the
    iDENT
    MODS unit, they swipe their event ticket across
    the
    contactless ticketing system.
    S
    affire
    Tix and
    blockchain-based
    Health Passport from GetChkd Inc. have combined their technologies to create a portable contactless ticketing solution, which can be linked to an at home or on-site point of care test. Venues could require a negative COVID-19 test, health screening questionnaire, proof of identity and a temperature scan before an event goer and staff can attend and enter a stadium or an arena.
  • Threat Detected? If at any time during this 4-step screening process a threat should be detected, then onsite security are notified in real-time, and can move the individual to a secondary screening areas for further investigation prior to providing event access.
