Frank Labrozzi, CEO of Novus states: "Let's begin to address the elephant in the room. SAFE Banking Act not passing does not affect Novus' business or its growth. As an insurance carrier, we comply with regulations on a state-by-state basis, and, since we don't touch the plant, we are approved to conduct transactions through merchants, banking institutions, and funding entities across the country."
Investors should differentiate Novus from cannabis verticals, we are a health insurance carrier that happens to have a first-mover advantage in adding cannabis to consumer and employee health plans. Since 2015, our business model remains resilient in the ever-changing cannabis macroeconomic ecosystem. Investors should know that the HMO business model is a receivable-based business that withstands the current market pressure that cannabis stocks are currently facing. See Financial Statement Here:
2022 Economic Anomalies That Benefit Novus
In 2023, the Cannabis Index faces new challenges, however where investors see tribulations, Novus sees opportunities, such as:
Inflation and Employee Benefits: Spending patterns in consumer wallets have tightened, but what we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, cannabis is now included in household monthly budgets of American cannabis users. The Compassionate Care Act has relaxed rules of drug testing mandates by employers. Human Resource Departments are forced to rewrite their policies relating to cannabis use and benefits in employee-sponsored health plans, as employers try to persuade employees back into the office environment.
Over Saturation of Supply: As the cannabis industry has grown and matured, there are still many brands saturating the marketplace stimulating Multi-State Operators (MSOs) to consolidate. These MSOs know that joining Novus Provider Network, can create for them an additional revenue stream, and, compliantly corral consumers through health plans on an exclusive basis, better positioning them for the up-and-coming larger national market demand that needs to be fulfilled.
Taxation: Legislative reform will create higher taxes on recreational cannabis. In California many recreational consumers are converting to medicinal users, taking the advantage of tax breaks along with significant discounts that Novus Cannabis MedPlan offers.

About Novus
Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (NDEV), through its subsidiary WCIG Insurance, Services, Inc. provides health insurance and related insurance solutions within the wellness and medical marijuana industries in states where legal programs exist. Novus has developed its infrastructure within many lines of the insurance business such as health, life, and fixed annuities. As a carrier Novus relies on two key indicators to measure value and performance. The Benefit Monetization Ratio is defined as the total number of policies, monetized annually, which is offset by the operating cost ratio which is a Balance Sheet line item computed as Net Asset Value.
Novus' medical cannabis benefits package will work as outside developers and will not cultivate, handle, transport grow, extract, dispense, put up for sale, put on the market, vend, deliver, supply, circulate, or trade cannabis or any substances that violate the United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future and will continue to follow state and federal laws. The statements made about specific products have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. All information provided on these press releases, or any information contained on or in any product label or packaging is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician or other health care professional. All cannabis transaction is solely between the state-licensed dispensary and the registered patient.
The state laws conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The current administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws, allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. Changes in consolidation may affect the provider network. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration, nor any future administration, will not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial changes. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute, or sell cannabis or cannabis-related products, we may be harmed by a change in enforcement by federal or state governments.
