Company President and COO, Andrew Glashow, noted that "Our fiscal year started in quarantine, and ended with the explosive return of tourism to Las Vegas. Our Nevada team didn't miss a beat, and consistently reached new heights month after month, adapting every step of the way. Oasis and City Trees established themselves as Las Vegas mainstays in this last year, and we're well positioned to continue expansion in Nevada and beyond."

"We've shown that we can rise to any occasion," remarked Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Binder. "We're entering fiscal year 2022 with a clear path to growth and the determination to take on any challenge put in front of us. We have set some lofty goals for this fiscal year and I'm confident with the team in place and the seeds we planted this past fiscal year we will achieve them ."

Branded product division, City Trees, underwent an extensive rebranding effort in September 2020, unveiling new packaging, brand material, and a revamped website including an indirect online ordering system. Since this endeavor, and the completion of the Company's state-of-the-art extraction and conversion facility, the brand has seen significant growth of wholesale orders for its vape, concentrate, and tincture products. The brand also made its debut in New Mexico in May 2021, marking the first release of a CLS brand outside the state of Nevada. The continued improvement in revenue, margin, and market growth for CLS business entities is a testament to the success of the Company's strategic path toward overall profitability.
