Corporate Capabilities, Track Record, and Achievements

While Harbour is an operating company (rather than a traditional General Partner managing private equity or venture capital funds), the deck highlights the operational track record of its management, advisors, and corporate partnerships:

• Executive Track Record & Industry Experience:
  • The team possesses over 50 years of collective experience across regulatory frameworks, consumer packaged goods (CPG), capital markets, and public market environments [Page 3].
  • C-level executives on the team have previously run corporations valued at more than $600 million [Page 3].
  • John Celenza (Co-Founder of Bio Steel) is highlighted as part of this seasoned advisory network, having built Bio Steel (a beverage brand) and successfully grown its revenues to over $140 million [Page 3].
• Regulatory & Operational Licensing Success:
  • The operations team has a proven track record in securing cultivation and processing licenses from Health Canada within highly regulated substance markets, specifically cannabis [Page 15].
  • This pharmaceutical background in processing operations is utilized to enable safe, compliant, and high-margin conversion of raw materials into finished, decocainized products [Page 15].
• Key Corporate Milestones:
  • Historic Trade Agreement: Secured and signed a long-term international supply agreement (5 years with auto-renewal) with Enaco, the Peruvian state-run coca leaf corporation, which was later ratified by the Peruvian Congress [Page 3, Page 12, Page 14]. This agreement supports over 35,000 registered local coca leaf farmers within Peru [Page 3, Page 14] and includes negotiated preferential pricing for all coca leaf and derivative products [Page 14].
  • First-of-its-Kind Importation: Successfully legally imported decocainized coca leaf extract into North America (specifically Canada) for commercialization for the first time [Page 3, Page 12].
  • Municipal Support: Obtained local municipal support (from Mayor Patrick Brown of Brampton, Ontario, via a Letter of Support dated April 19, 2023) to build a major processing facility and global corporate headquarters [Page 12, Page 22].
  • Public Listing Path: Harbour has planned a public listing via a Reverse Takeover (RTO) for Q1 2024 [Page 3].

Comparables & Industry Case Studies

The pitch deck details two primary corporate comparables in the coca leaf processing and extraction space to illustrate the market opportunity, business model feasibility, and valuations:

1. Stepan

• Location / Ownership: US-owned, based in New Jersey and New York [Page 10].
• Financial Metrics: Generates $2.2 billion in annual revenue [Page 10].
• Operating Model & Thesis:
  • Currently serves as the sole existing source of coca leaf extracts and active compound derivatives sold in Canada [Page 10].
  • Imports raw coca leaves directly from Peru [Page 10].
  • Acts as the primary supplier of flavor extracts (with active compounds/alkaloids removed) to Coca-Cola [Page 10].
  • Sells the isolated active compounds (alkaloids) to Mallinckrodt, a pharmaceutical firm that generated $3.2 billion in revenue in 2019, strictly for medicinal use [Page 10].
• Relevance to Harbour: Toppling the monopoly held by Stepan is a core pillar of Harbour’s strategy, which positions Harbour as the first Canadian-based source for these same materials [Page 11, Page 20].

2. Power Leaves Corp.

• Location / Ownership: Based in Neiva, South Central Colombia [Page 10].
• Financial Metrics & Valuation: Pre-revenue, with a current valuation of $100 million [Page 10].
• Operating Model & Thesis:
  • Operates as a processor of Colombian coca leaves [Page 10].
  • Plans to supply international customers with food and beverage extracts that have had active compounds (alkaloids) removed [Page 10].
