"Despite a downturn in the legal cannabis market, we have seen a solid increase in City Trees' numbers," said Company President & COO Andrew Glashow. "This is a testament to the traction the brand has gained over the past year and its loyal customer base. Our ability to offer a consistently reputable and reliable product at an affordable price has been our strong suit and the brand's continued growth is a powerful indication of its resonance with consumers.'

According to BDSA, the legal cannabis industry in Nevada, while doing more than $1 billion in sales, showed a decrease in its growth during 2021. State sales for September and October were down 8.4% compared to the previous respective months and down more than 10% from the comparable months during 2020. In addition, the market saw a downturn in cannabis flower numbers of 25% from last year. The market decline can be attributed to a few factors including the new wave of COVID-19 and the consequences of such, decreased tourism in the region, an increase in consumers needing to take quarantine measures, the trend of inexpensive flower flooding the market, and varying employment numbers in the state. While the market softened, the Company saw an increase in quarterly revenue year over year primarily driven by the Company's branded product division, City Trees.

City Trees has maintained significant quarterly year-over-year sales increases with a 55% increase in net income from the prior year's quarter. Further, the brand continues to see month over month gains with a 4% increase in revenue compared to the quarter prior. When looking at the six months ended November 2021, City Trees saw an increase in revenue of 91% compared to the six months ended November 2020. The brand also received a number of accolades for sales growth.

While the Company's retail division, Oasis Cannabis saw a slight decline in revenue of 3.8% for the quarter, the Nevada legal cannabis market was down over 10% during this period giving the Company a positive indicator when the market turns around.
