Vodis to Acquire and Retrofit Washington State Facility

Vancouver, British Columbia / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2014 / Vodis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company" or "Vodis") (CSE: VP / 1JV.F) is pleased to announce that VODIS USA, INC., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, has executed a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire a 14,000 square foot facility in Washington State (the "Facility").

The Facility, which was built in 2007, is zoned for use as an I-502 marijuana production and processing site and is serviced by state water and an 800 Amp Phase 3 Power supply. This is sufficient water and power to retrofit 4,000 square feet of the Facility as 'production ready'. This work will constitute Phase 1 of the Company's retrofit efforts.

The Company anticipates undertaking the following work in connection with completing the Phase 1 retrofit: Installation and operation of (1) Air Conditioning System; (2) Barb Wire Fences; (3) Surveillance System; (4) Grow Lights and Ballasts; (5) Quarantine Zone; and (6) Vault.

Once complete, it is the intent of the Company to lease the building to an I-502 Tier 3 production and processing licensee (the "Licensee"). The Company also intends to ensure the success of the potential Licensee by providing Standard Operating Procedures ("SOP") and Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP"). The Company will also license its brand name to the Licensee, which will provide the Licensee with the brand name under which the Licensee will operate.

Otto Folprecht, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Vodis, states: "This is a major milestone in the Company's aspiration of becoming a global brand in the cannabis and pharmaceutical business. While we are awaiting an inspection from Health Canada, the Company is moving forward on its expansion in to Washington State.

The purchase price for the Facility is $975,000 USD and the closing is subject to a 60 day due diligence period. The Company has placed $35,000 USD into an escrow account with its attorney to be advanced as earnest money and credited toward the down payment associated with the purchase of the Facility.

Once fully retrofitted, the Facility lease, advisory fees associated with providing the SOP and GMP and the licensing package are expected to generate approximately $3.0 Million in gross revenue for the company on an annual basis, assuming the Facility operates at full capacity. The Phase 1 retrofit is expected to cost $400,000 USD.

ABOUT THE WASHINGTON I-502 MARIJUANA MARKET

In November 2012, the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) passed Initiative 502 (I-502) pursuant to a vote by the people of the State of Washington. I-502 authorized the WSLCB to regulate and tax recreational marijuana products for persons over twenty-one years of age and thereby, created a new industry for the growing, processing and selling of Washington State-regulated recreational marijuana products. A recent WSLCB commissioned report by the Rand organization suggests that there are currently up to 650,000 recreational marijuana users in Washington State worth approximately $1.25 - $1.5 Billion USD in annual sales.
