Revenues in the quarter ended February 28, 2023 increased when compared to the
same period in 2022. The increase is largely attributable to an intensified
effort to bring our Colorado and California facilities online. In the quarter
ended February 28, 2023, the Company generated $381,662 in sales of cannabis
products.
Cost of revenues also increased in the quarter ended February 28, 2023 when
compared with the same period in 2022. The increase is attributable to the costs
incurred in our Colorado and California operations. In the three months ended
February 28, 2023, we incurred operating costs associated with setting up and
documenting our manufacturing processes and producing test batches of products
to verify our systems were generating expected results at our Colorado and
California facilities. During this phase, we did not produce significant
quantities of product for resale. The production expenses of the test batches
were, however, recorded as manufacturing costs. We expect margins to improve on
our cannabis product lines in the coming periods as our manufacturing processes
are standardized and our need to run test batches and adjust processes
decreases.
Our General and Administrative costs ("G&A") increased in the quarter ended
February 28, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022. The increase in G&A
costs were primarily due to our decision to further develop our cannabis
business through acquisition of the Colorado and California facilities and the
related costs of setting up geographically disbursed manufacturing operations,
in particular rent expense. Our advertising and promotion costs decreased
significantly when compared to the same reporting period in the previous year.
Other income (expense) increased period over period due to interest expense on
additional borrowings and amortization of discount associated with new notes
payable.
Net loss increased in the three-month reporting period ending February 28, 2023
compared with the same period in 2022. The increase in the net loss is
attributable to the factors identified above.
Nine Months Ended February 28, 2023 compared with the Nine Months Ended February
28, 2022
The narrative comparison of results of operations for the nine-month periods
ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, is based on the following table.

Revenues in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2023 increased when
compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is largely attributable to an
intensified effort to bring our Colorado and California facilities online. In
the nine-month period ended February 28, 2023, the Company generated $549,928 in
sales of cannabis products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow used by operating activities for the nine month period ended February
28, 2023, was $1,112,973 compared with $329,212 in the same period in 2022.
During the period, our total cash increased by $120,784 to $161,671. The
increase in our cash position at February 28, 2023 is largely attributable to
borrowings associated with starting up operations in Colorado and California.
Cash to fund cash flow from operations was derived primarily from proceeds of
notes payable.
We continue to seek potential acquisition candidates with a focus on acquiring
additional operating companies with scale sufficient to support all aspects of
the Company's operations, including the public company infrastructure. The
Company is currently heavily dependent on funding through advances from related
parties, but no assurances can be given that such funding will continue to be
available in future periods. Our historic operations have not been sufficient to
support the existing infrastructure, much of which is required in order to
maintain public company status.
We have maintained active operations as a manufacturer and distributor of the
Debudder product line since 2018. We do not consider the Company to be a shell
company as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. We incurred a net loss of $3,952,131 for the nine months ended
February 28, 2023, bringing our accumulated deficit to $15,926,172 as of
February 28, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may seek to raise money for
working capital purposes through a public offering of its equity capital or
through a private placement of equity capital or convertible debt. It will be
important for the Company to succeed in its efforts to raise capital in this
manner to further its business plan in an aggressive manner. Raising additional
capital may cause dilution to current shareholders. There are no assurances we
can be successful in our efforts to raise working capital.
