OUTLOOK AND THE PATH FORWARD

1933 is a licensed cannabis operator with cultivation, production, manufacturing, and distribution assets based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company operates two subsidiaries that combined, produce a full-range of cannabis and hemp-based products. The Company cultivates and produces its own branded cannabis products in a purpose-built, indoor cultivation facility under perpetual harvest cycle. Its craft-style flower cultivation is supported by an integrated production facility, focused on high-quality concentrate products that are sold directly to licensed dispensaries in the State of Nevada. The Company's brand of cannabis flower, pre-rolls and extraction products have strong wholesale penetration in dispensaries in Las Vegas, while its ultra-craft,select-batch premium brand offers unique, exotic strains that appeal to cannabis connoisseurs. In addition, the Company manufactures a proprietary line of hemp-infused wellness products for sale across the United States, offering a variety of effects- based cannabinoid-infused products and form factors that appeal to a wide range of consumers.

The Company holds cannabis licenses for cultivation, processing, and distribution in Nevada's limited license regime. The Company's revenue is derived from wholesale cannabis sales in Nevada, and from the sale of hemp-derived consumer packaged goods sold B2B and direct to consumers via ecommerce at cannahemp.com. The Company's strengths lie in its expertise as a top cultivator in the Las Vegas market and in its ability to attain shelf space in dispensaries.

During the reporting period, the Company completed a retrofit and upgrade of the irrigation system in its cultivation facility. Although revenues increased from the previous quarter, margins were impacted as a result of lower flower yields during the period of construction. The Company recorded revenues of $4.1 million, a 12% increased from Q2 2023. Phase 2 of the improvements and maintenance to the cultivation facility, including the addition of new lights and fans, will continue well into Q4 2023. Pricing compression continues to impact cannabis operators in Nevada and sales of cannabis products are down industry wide. The Company's hemp-infused consumer packaged goods recorded positive gross margins, although the demand for hemp-infused products remains soft both in wholesale and retail stores as well as via e-commerce.

Demand for the Company's AMA products remains strong, and once the upgrades to its cultivation facility are completed, the Company will be well positioned to take advantage of the demand for cannabis flower and cannabis products. On November 30, 2022, the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board issued 40 cannabis consumption lounge prospective licenses. On June 20, 2023, the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board gave approval to three cannabis consumption lounges to move forward. Those include Planet 13, Thrive Cannabis, and SoL Cannabis. The consumption lounges must still obtain local approvals and complete their buildout. The current target for consumption lounges to open is end of year 2023 or early 2024. Consumption lounges will provide a safe, legal place for tourists to consume cannabis. It is currently illegal to consume cannabis anywhere outside of private residences. It is expected that the launch of consumption lounges will create a new attraction for visitors to the state and expand cannabis-related tourism. The Company is well positioned to benefit from increased demand, flower price stabilization, and the strength of its top brand and in-demand products that deliver excellent value to consumers.

Operationally, the Company has made substantial improvements in lowering its debt load, reducing expenses and conserving its working capital over the last several quarters. The Company has not significantly added to its capital structure, as it has not conducted new treasury raises and has not added any new debt to its balance sheet.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 (In Canadian dollars, except where noted)

AMA - Cultivation and Extraction Segment

AMA's business involves the growing of cannabis indoors for personal medicinal and recreational use and the production of premium, boutique concentrates for the Nevada market. AMA began commercial production in April 2015 when it was the first Medical Marijuana Establishment or "MME" approved for cultivation in Southern Nevada. Its first crops were harvested, dried, packaged and sold in October 2015 and it has produced cannabis on a commercial scale in Nevada since then, providing a first- mover advantage.

Market Plans and Strategies

The Company's business model is based on servicing the existing medicinal cannabis patient base in Nevada (which has approximately 3.0 million residents) and the recreational cannabis consumers, including those who visit Las Vegas each year (about 42.9 million visitors pre-Covid-19 pandemic). The Company is an established wholesale supplier of unique branded flower and extraction products to licensed dispensaries and cannabis stores. As its branded image and reputation is well established, the Company may license or acquire other cannabis businesses in the United States that have legalized medicinal cannabis and/or recreational cannabis specific brands with recurring sales to a loyal and growing clientele.

The Company believes that the constantly evolving regulatory environment for the production and distribution of recreational cannabis within the U.S., and the dispensing of both medicinal and recreational cannabis will be disruptive for both producers and consumers, transforming the current industry into one of commercial scale. The Company is focused on establishing a portfolio of high quality, premium cannabis products that have wide appeal to a growing and varied consumer base. The Company has developed a comprehensive marketing program to create visibility and awareness in the market for its products. AMA markets its products locally, via social media, in-store programs, as well as via targeted marketing campaigns in conjunction with dispensaries and educational programs targeting budtenders and consumers.

Hemp Infused Products Segment

Infused focuses on developing, formulating, and producing CBD, CBG and CBN hemp-based products and brands for retail sale and use in jurisdictions where permitted by law and regulation in the US.

Cannabinoids, as utilized by Infused, are extracted from industrial hemp, sourced from legal suppliers in the United States. Infused manufactures and distributes its products under the following segments:

  1. Canna Hemp™ hemp-derived cannabinoid products that include tinctures, lotions, creams, vape pens and cartridges, gummies, and capsules;
  2. Canna Hemp X™ products targeting the action sports vertical, including pre and post workout tinctures, and muscle balms;
  3. Canna Hemp™ products containing hemp-seed oil and free of CBD.

The Canna Hemp™ line is marketed through a variety of brick-and-mortar retail outlets, and retail dispensaries in Nevada and Arizona under its various segments, and direct to consumers via its e-commerce platforms. The Company believes that its success in the market is achieved by offering a broad range of premium quality products with wide-range appeal at competitive prices and delivered through outstanding client service under a well identified brand.

Combined, the AMA and Canna Hemp™ brands offer over 100 different products. The Company has been focused on cultivating craft flowers delivered to customers at competitive prices with an extensive line of news strains, and top-tierultra-craft line branded as Level X. The Company believes that carrying a consistent base of high-quality strains and cannabis products, including hemp-based products, is essential to its long-term success.

Infused is growing its product portfolio via the expansion into the functional mushroom category. Infused has created the Ether Wellness brand to grow its portfolio of mushroom based products targeting natural wellness categories.
