The reduction of 46% in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019 was due to cost efficiency enhancement of 17% and as a result of devaluation of the Brazilian Real by 29% against the Canadian Dollar. For FY 2020, production costs were reduced by 45% compared to FY 2019, again due to cost efficiency improvements and the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the Canadian Dollar. The increase in CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight) share of total sales in FY 2020 versus FY 2019 compared to FOB (Free on Board) had a positive impact of 2% in GM.

The Company has significantly increased the volume sold as CIF, from 2% of total sales in 2019 to 13% in 2020. VERDE AGRITECH#1111 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Revenue Revenue from sales for Q4 2020 was $2.2M from the sale of 56.6K tonnes of the Product, at $39 per tonne sold. Average revenue per tonne was lower than Q4 2019 ($46 per tonne sold). The Product price is based on the current US$ Potassium Chloride price. Therefore, the reduction of the average revenue per tonne was mainly due to the decline of the Potassium Chloride CFR (Brazil) price, from US$290 per tonne in Q4 2019 to US$250 per tonne in Q4 2020 (Acerto Limited Report). For FY 2020, total Revenue from sales was $9.2M an increase of 52% compared to FY 2019. Profitability Sales increased by 76% in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019 and by 103% in FY 2020 FY 2019. Cash Operating profit increased by $1.9M in FY 2020 compared to FY 2019 and net profit after taxes increased by $1.65M in FY 2020 compared to FY 2019. 2020 was the first year that the Company recorded a net profit. Gross margin increased to 59% in Q4 2020, compared to 36% in Q4 2019 and to 62%, compared to 48% in FY 2019. Cash held by the Group increased by 236%, to a total of $2.2M compared to $0.7M in Q4 2019. For FY 2020, net cash generated under operating activities was $1.0M, compared to net cash utilised of $0.7M in FY 2019, reflecting the profit generated from sales and changes in working capital.

VERDE AGRITECH#17APPENDIX VERDE AGRITECH#18PATASSIUM CHLORIDE REPLACEMENT Potassium salt fertilizers are soil biodiversity's number 1 enemy. The average farmer applies 200 kg of potassium chloride to the soil per hectare per year. This is equivalent to the application of 1,600 litres of bleach as far as killing soil biodiversity.1 The world currently uses 61.5 million tonnes of potassium chloride for agriculture per year², the equivalent to more than 460 billion liters of bleach killing soil biodiversity yearly. Verde's Product eliminates the need for potassium chloride. Period In Q4 2020 Since production started Bleach equivalent amount that has not been applied to agricultural soils 71M litres 495M litres Over the next 36 years³, the Company intends to have prevented at least 957.8 billion liters of bleach from being applied to soils in the guise of potassium chloride. 1 Effects of Some Synthetic Fertilizers on the Soil Ecosystem (HEIDE HERMARY, 2007) / 2 http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/REN 18 3 Based on NI 43-101 Production Schedule.
