“The Company believes that softening sales were due to changing employment patterns in Nevada, a resurgence of Covid-19 and corresponding social distancing and mask mandates, and the increase of low-priced flower flooding the market,” Rosen explained. “To combat and rectify these issues, the Company has readjusted its pricing strategy to meet market demands, continues to increase shelf space with sought-after flower strains and in-demand infused pre-rolls, and recruited and installed an improved leadership team covering sales and cultivation under the direction of Ms. Ester Vigil and Mr. Steve Licon, both leading professionals in the Nevada cannabis market.”
