Management Commentary
“I am thrilled to join the Anebulo team at such an exciting time in the company’s development. There is a significant and pressing need to treat acute cannabinoid intoxication as hospital emergency department visits for this condition reached 1.7 million in 2018 and continue to increase by approximately 15% annually as more states legalize the use of marijuana,” stated Simon Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo. “In January, we announced the initiation of our Phase 2 clinical study of ANEB-001 in the Netherlands and expect to report topline results in the first half of this year, an important step in achieving our goal of developing the first FDA-approved therapy for acute cannabinoid intoxication.”

Lowell Reports 37% sequential growth in revenue driven by large cultivation yields advances and strong growth in demand for the Lowell branded products
SALINAS, Calif., Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lowell Farms Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE: LOWL; OTCQX: LOWLF), a California-born innovator in cannabis cultivation and maker of the legendary brand Lowell Smokes, announced revenue and operating results for the second quarter (ended June 30, 2021). All figures stated are in US Dollars and are on a US GAAP basis.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
Our Flower production at the greenhouse ramped steadily during the quarter and we exceeded our guidance of 8,500 to 9,000 lbs during the quarter by a healthy margin at 9,553 lbs, a 102% increase over the preceding quarter. Additionally, our plan to restore the Lowell brand to health was met with success during the quarter.
“We have a lot to be proud of, but I am particularly excited about the continued progress we are making at the cultivation level,” says Lowell Farms Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Ainsworth. “We have spent a good portion of Q2 dialing in our automated environmental systems to continue to reach increased yields and potencies and right now we are collecting important data to provide the optimal conditions for each particular genetics. This is an exciting phase and we look forward to reporting back to you on our learnings and improvements as well as the positive impacts on our annual harvest run rate.”
Operational Highlights and Ongoing Initiatives in 2021:
The Company’s focus and strategic planning of key initiatives continue to drive sustainable profitable growth, with top priorities on its cultivation facilities, improving operational efficiency, and refinement of biological assets.
Subsequent events to the fiscal second quarter June 30, 2021:
“We have a lot to look forward to, and despite the headwinds we anticipate encountering from decline in bulk sales and the compression in the market,” said George Allen, Chairman of the Board for Lowell Farms. “Our strategy is to offset revenues with our increased cultivation output and the launch of our new LFS business unit which is ramping quickly to incredibly high demand.
“We are also seeing extremely positive results from our expansion to Illinois and we are on track to launch Massachusetts later this quarter. We fully expect to add more markets in the near future. In California, we are positioning Lowell to be successful in an incredibly competitive operating environment and I am incredibly encouraged by the numbers coming out of our cultivation.”

Reports Top Line Year Over Year Quarterly Revenue Growth of 131%
SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (OTCQX: UNRV) (“Unrivaled” or the “Company”), a multi-state vertically integrated company focused on the cannabis sector with operations in California, Oregon, and Nevada, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Frank Knuettel, Chief Executive Officer of Unrivaled Brands stated, “On the operations side, we have continued to make improvements and see gains in our existing operations. With revenues of $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, we recorded our largest quarter of revenues since the fourth quarter of 2019, registering quarterly revenue growth of approximately 131% compared to the same period of 2020.
“As part of this revenue growth, we continue to see consistent month over month revenue gains at both of our dispensaries. Since we reopened our Oakland facility in October 2020, we have seen average monthly sales growth of 12.0% per month and in April, recorded the highest revenue month at our Oakland dispensary since February 2020. Similarly, at our San Leandro dispensary, since we reopened in July 2020, we have seen average monthly sales growth of 7.0% per month, and in April, we recorded the highest revenue month at our San Leandro dispensary since December 2019.”
Knuettel continued, “On the other side of the ledger, we continue to review our operations and drive appropriate cost reductions, and at the same time, feel that we have largely cleared out the historical operational excesses.
With the sale of our investment in Hydrofarm, we added approximately $40 million to our balance sheet, without dilution. We previously entered into a definitive agreement to sell our non-operating N. 4th Street property in Las Vegas, which closed after the end of the quarter, netting the Company approximately $825k in early August. In addition, the sale removed ongoing carrying costs associated with its ownership, including the repayment of a $1.6 million mortgage.
I believe our most challenging days now lay behind us and with the now closed merger with Unrivaled Brands, we remain focused on building Unrivaled in a focused and coherent manner, with an eye towards our shareholders. We have been working hard and diligently towards this goal, and while much work remains, I firmly believe the pieces are coming together.”

July 30th, 2021
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 30, 2021 / Citizen Stash Cannabis Corp. (Formally Experion Holdings Ltd.) (the “Company” or “Citizen Stash”) (TSXV:CSC)(OTCQB:EXPFF)(FRA:MB31) Canada’s solution to craft cannabis and premium products is pleased to report its second quarter financial results for the period ended May 31, 2021.
“Our year-to-date sales for the first six months of 2021 represent a more than 250% increase over the first six months of the previous year. This accomplishment further validates the production and distribution model we have established over the year and coupled with the retail success of our Citizen Stash premium brand, positions the Company for continued expansion as the market opens up over the next six months. Additionally, COVID-19 continues to have an impact on the retail market with many provincial exchanges mandating inventory caps, smaller orders, and receiving delays. Notwithstanding the consumer demand for our Citizen Stash products, we were not immune to these constraints, the impacts of which resulted in decreased sales opportunities as we exited Q1 2021. The Canadian cannabis industry continues to face challenges caused by price compression and inventory rationalization at both the provincial and retail dispensary level, however, we remain convinced that the investments we’ve made in building one of the top premium brands in the country positions us for strong growth going forward.”, commented Mr. Jarrett Malnarich, CEO of Citizen Stash.
“Our unique business model gives us flexibility to ramp up quickly despite ongoing challenges presented within the industry. In addition, our business strategy and model continues to demonstrate its effectiveness as we gained significant market penetration across the country compared to last year and we continue to expand shelf space, gaining new SKUs every quarter as our brand continues to lead in the premium space.”
In the second quarter ending May 31, 2021, Citizen Stash continued to execute on its corporate strategy and advance its ‘aggregation and distribution’ model driving shareholder value as illustrated by the following milestones and initiatives:
*1 – Net of excisetax.
*2 – Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management defines adjusted EBITDA as comprehensive loss for the period, as reported, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted by removing share-based payments, and other one- time and non-cash items, including impairment losses and inventorywrite-downs. See reconciliation of “Adjusted EBITDA”in the Company’s Management’s Discussion & Analysis for the period ended May 31, 2021.
Business update
Citizen Stash continues to remain focused on executing against its strategic priorities. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company made significant progress in expanding its premium supply chains, developing innovative strains and expanding its customer network generating shareholder value and accelerating its path to profit including:
Innovative Genetics and Strain development
Citizen Stash continues to launch first to market genetics and strains and expand its premium dry flower cultivar offering with the addition of new listings in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario increasing our listings by 35% in Q2 2021 versus Q1 2021 and will begin to recognize revenues in Q3 from these efforts.
Distribution Network
Citizen Stash currently serves seven provinces and territories. Citizen Stash continues to make headway into the remaining markets including Quebec and the Maritimes. The Company expects to be in the remaining provinces by early Q4 2021 with revenues from these markets being realized upon entry.
Premium Brands
Citizen Stash is one of the leading brands in the industry, known for producing top-shelf craft cannabis flower. The Company’s focus on providing new, innovative and consistent flower offerings allows the Company to maintain above average prices for its products with a net selling price of $8.12 per gram for the three months ending May 31, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 – Financial Highlights:
“I am extremely proud of our results this quarter, especially given the macro backdrop we faced. In Ontario, the largest cannabis market in Canada, due to pandemic related restrictions, our stores were closed for in-person shopping throughout most of the second quarter with only click-and-collect and delivery permitted by regulations,” said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Even during this difficult market environment, we continued to advance our bricks and mortar and online business. Despite the challenges and our continued rapid growth, we were able to increase not only our revenue, but also our Adjusted EBITDA sequentially to a new record of $4.7 million. This is a clear testament to the strength of our operations and our management team’s ability to outperform in tougher markets. It also highlights the robustness of our unique and diversified ecosystem which includes omni-channel retail of cannabis, consumption accessories and hemp derived CBD products as well as manufacturing and distribution of licensed and proprietary consumption accessories. Ontario has now moved to allow in-store shopping with capacity limits which should bolster sales, coupled with our recent acquisitions of FABCBD and Daily High Club, we expect to deliver continued revenue and EBITDA growth in the third quarter,” added Mr. Grover.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS measures provide investors with a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and therefore highlight trends in Company’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Management uses non-IFRS measures in measuring the financial performance of the Company. |

The Company recorded a loss from the revaluation of derivative liability of $3,988 during the second quarter of 2021 (2020: loss of $125). This non-cash accounting charge primarily relates to warrants issued to Windsor Private Capital in connection with the loan agreement entered into on January 6, 2020. The cashless exercise feature in the warrants creates a derivative liability which is required to be revalued each reporting period. The increase in our share price during the quarter resulted in an increase in the derivative liability. |
Outlook
High Tide continues to have a leading position in the Canadian bricks and mortar cannabis market with 87 locations across the country. The Company is focused on expanding its footprint in Ontario and expects to increase its store count in the province from 18 today, and reach 30 open stores by September 30, 2021, the date on which the cap that any one retailer can own is set to increase from 30 to 75. COVID related restrictions in the second quarter limited the Company’s stores in Ontario to click and collect and delivery only, which negatively impacted sales. On June 11, 2021, in store shopping resumed in our stores in Ontario. While still early, we have seen a boost in sales as a result – which would be consistent with our prior experience coming out of the previous two lockdowns in the province. The Company also expects to enter British Columbia in the coming months.
In addition to continued expansion in Canadian bricks and mortar cannabis, the Company expects further growth ahead as a result of its U.S.-focused businesses. Specifically, the second quarter’s results included only 37 days of contribution from Smoke Cartel. Since the end of the second quarter, High Tide has closed the acquisition of FABCBD and expects to close the acquisition of Daily High Club imminently. We believe that strengthening our unique cannabis ecosystem across the value chain by geography and segment offers meaningful synergy opportunities and creates a stronger company which is better positioned to thrive regardless of short-term dynamics in any one area.
The Company has been actively following developments in the U.S. cannabis sector, and while it appears that further liberalisation regarding the federal regulatory and legislative environment is possible, our immediate strategy does not rely on regulatory change. Despite this, we remain just one transaction away from entering the bricks and mortar retail market in the U.S. when federally permissible. High Tide believes it is well positioned to take advantage of the growing ancillary and hemp derived CBD markets and estimates its current revenue run rate in the U.S., pro forma for the announced acquisitions, to be approximately $50 million today.
