Vice chairman and COO Nicholas S. Warrender said the company expects 2022 revenue will reach or exceed $75 million.

“Notably, this 2022 sales projection does not assume any revenue from a groundbreaking new federally compliant psychedelic product that we expect to launch this year that will contain zero cannabinoids and further diversify our portfolio of products," said Warrender, who’s also founder and CEO of Lifted Made.

"Our balance sheet is strengthening significantly, driven by our EBITDA margin that is typically in excess of 20%. During the past 100 days, we have paid off over $2.5 million of our liabilities and repurchased 100,000 shares of our common stock from an unaffiliated shareholder. And, our cash on hand currently exceeds $4.5 million," said William C. "Jake" Jacobs, CPA, president and CFO of LFTD Partners.

Silly Shruum

With regards to the Silly Shruum brand, Warrender said that "Lifted Made launched its psychedelic brand called Silly Shruum in January, 2022. Silly Shruum's products contain zero psilocybin. Silly Shruum's first two products are Psychedelic gummies, which contains a proprietary formulation including Kava Kava, Damiana and Green Tea Caffeine, and Shroomy Gummies, which contains a proprietary formulation including Chaga, Lion's Mane and Cordyceps mushrooms."

As the result of intensive R&D over the past months, Silly Shruum expects to launch a new federally compliant psychedelic product this year.

"We believe [the new product] will be extremely well received by consumers, and that will further diversify our portfolio of products," concluded Warrander.
