Award winning brands and cultivars create strong resonance with the end consumer, thereby driving growth in each market and as the Company expands its footprint.

De-risked,low-cost operations

Through its majority ownership of ALPS, the Company is engaged with numerous cultivators in the cannabis space globally. ALPS, the world's premier cultivation facility design and services agency with a 30+ year track record, is known to deliver facilities that yield high-quality flower with exceptionally low operating costs.

AUSA, in turn, will buy the flower at a cost + arrangement and use the raw material for the manufacturing of its branded product lines.

Additionally, the Company is exploring multiple low-cost entry ways into new jurisdictions, including license applications and other partnerships.
