Quarter ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 2021

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $43,190,986,
including (i) retail sales of $39,759,734 (ii) wholesale sales of $3,335,252 and
(iii) other operating revenues of $96,000, compared to revenues of $31,835,305,
including (i) retail sales of $20,741,864, (ii) wholesale sales of $11,022,519,
and (iii) other operating revenues of $70,922 during the three months ended
September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $11,355,681 or 36%. The most
influential factor driving revenue increases in the third quarter of 2022 as
compared to the same period in 2021 is acquisition activity. Revenue for the
quarter ended September 30, 2022 included revenue from four consummated
acquisitions in Colorado and revenue from the Company's initial entrance into
the New Mexico market with the acquisition of R. Greenleaf, which were not in
revenue for the same period in 2021. Revenue from wholesale sales decreased, due
in large part to continued pricing pressure in the Colorado wholesale market as
a result of supply saturation in flower and bulk distillate products.

Cost of goods and services


Cost of goods and services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled
$17,226,451 compared to cost of goods and services of $16,779,313 during the
three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $447,138 or
3%. Overall cost of goods and services increased due to the same acquisition
activities that generated substantial increases in revenue, but the rate at
which cost of goods and services increases from acquisition activity occurs at a
lower rate than increases in revenue from acquisition activity due to lower
wholesale flower pricing in Colorado and substantial vertical integration in New
Mexico generating favorable cost savings.

Functionnary costs


Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled
$14,849,677, compared to operating expenses of $11,218,992 during the three
months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $3,630,685 or 32%.
This increase is due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses,
professional service fees, salaries, benefits and related employment costs, all
largely driven by growth from acquisitions.

Other income (expenses), net


Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled
$3,712,108 compared to $1,555,427 during the three months ended
September 30, 2021, representing an increase in other expense of $2,156,681 or
139%. The increase in other expenses is due to higher interest payments due on
the Company's debt obligations as a result of compounding interest with the
passage of time and higher debt balances, which was partially offset this
quarter by the revaluation of the derivative liability related to the Investor
Notes issued in December 2021 that was recognized as income in the three months
ended September 30, 2022.

including (i) retail sales of $104,386,464 (ii) wholesale sales of $14,661,268

$81,904,261, including (i) retail sales of $54,083,880, (ii) wholesale of
$27,654,965, and (iii) other operating revenues of $165,416 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $37,327,671 or 46%.
The most influential factor driving revenue increases in the first nine months
of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is acquisition activity. Revenue
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included revenue from four new
acquisitions in Colorado, which included five new retail dispensaries, and
revenue from the Company's initial entrance into the New Mexico market with the
acquisition of R. Greenleaf that created an immediate initial portfolio of ten
retail dispensaries across the state of New Mexico, none of which were in
revenue for the same period in 2021.

Cost of goods and services


Cost of goods and services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled

nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $12,480,427 or
28%. Year to date cost of goods and services in 2022 increased as compared to
2021 due to the same acquisition activities that generated substantial increases
in revenue, but the rate at which cost of goods and services increases from
acquisition activity occurs at a lower rate than increases in revenue from
acquisition activity due to lower wholesale flower pricing in Colorado and
substantial vertical integration in New Mexico generating favorable cost
savings.

months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $16,280,286 or 54%.
This increase is due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses,
professional service fees, salaries, benefits and related employment costs, all
largely driven by growth from acquisitions.

significant gains recognized in connection with revaluation of the derivative
liability related to the Investor Notes for the nine months ended September 30,

obligations as a result of compounding interest with the passage of time and

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Revenue


The Company derives its revenue from three revenue streams: (i) Retail, which
sells finished goods sourced internally and externally to the end consumer in
retail stores; (ii) Wholesale, which is the cultivation of flower and biomass
sold internally and externally and the manufacturing of biomass into distillate
for integration into externally developed products, such as edibles and
internally developed products such as vapes and cartridges under the Purplebee's
brand; and (iii) Other, which includes other income and expenses, such as,
licensing and consulting services, facility design services, facility management
services, the Company's Three A Light™ publication, and corporate operations.

Gross profit


Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes
costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for
finished goods such as flower, edibles, and concentrates, as well as
manufacturing and cultivation labor, packaging, supplies and overhead such as
rent, utilities and other related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by market
supply. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Total operating expenses


Total operating expenses other than the costs of goods sold consists of selling
costs to support customer relations, marketing and branding activities. It also
includes an investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support
the
Company's ongoing business.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is derived from Operating Income, which is adjusted for one-time
expenses, merger and acquisition and capital raising costs, non-cash related
compensation costs, and depreciation and amortization.

Average basket size

Average Basket Size is calculated based on the average dollar value of all total
items purchased by a single customer during a single visit to one of the
Company's retail dispensary stores. Management monitors and utilizes Average
Basket Size to assess consumer preferences and behavior, effectiveness of
consistent reward and discount offerings, and product performance. Management
believes this metric can be useful to investors for a better understanding of
average customer spend and revenue across all Company retail dispensaries.

Recorded Customer Visits

The Recorded Customer Visits metric reports the number of customers that have
visited any of the Company's retail dispensary stores and made a purchase.
Customer visits are recorded at the time of purchase. If a customer makes
multiple purchases in a day, each purchase is counted as an individual visit.
Management uses Recorded Customer Visits to monitor and assess Company
performance in the markets where it operates, consumer acceptance of the
Company's brand and products, customer retention, and store traffic. Recorded
Customer Visits is a useful non-financial metric for investors to contextualize
the Company's assessment of overall market performance and consumer appetite for
cannabis products.

Same-store sales and stacked IDs


The Company utilizes Same Store Sales and Stacked Identical Store Sales
("Stacked IDs") to evaluate and monitor organic growth from existing
dispensaries. Management believes these metrics are useful for investors to
assess management of our retail stores and to distinguish revenue and growth
from operations from revenue and growth from acquisitions. Same Store Sales and
Stacked IDs are both expressed as a percentage that indicates the relative
increase or decrease to revenue for certain retail stores from the relevant
previous reporting period, which are reported separately for retail operations
in Colorado and New Mexico. Same Store Sales is calculated by comparing revenue
from sales for all dispensaries in existence for more than one year against the

CASH AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had total current
liabilities of $30,041,901 and $45,263,179, respectively. The decrease is driven
by the revaluation of the derivative liability associated with the Investor
Notes. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $38,725,187 and $106,400,216, respectively to meet its
current obligations. The Company had working capital of $41,548,525 as of
September 30, 2022, a decrease of $37,594,104 as compared to December 31, 2021.
The reduction in cash, and in turn working capital, is primarily driven by
expenditure of cash to fund acquisitions and operations.

The Company is an early-stage growth company, generating cash from operational
revenue and capital raises. Cash is being reserved primarily for capital
expenditures, facility improvements, acquisitions, and strategic investment
opportunities. The Company predominantly relies on internal capital that is
generated through revenue and any other internal sources of liquidity to meet
its short-term and certain long-term capital demands. Management believes the
Company's current projected growth, revenue from consummated acquisitions, and
revenue from operations will be sufficient to meet its current obligations as
they become due. The Company relies on a combination of internal and external
capital to meet its long-term obligations, with internal liquidity sourced from
revenue from operations and external financing acquired from various sources,
including commercial loan arrangements, capital raises and private placement
transactions, and cash from the Investor Notes. Management believes this
combination of internal revenue and external liquidity will be sufficient to
meet the Company's long-term obligations; however, it is possible the Company
will seek additional external financing to meet capital needs in the future. The
Company maintains the unused portion of the funds received from the Investor
Notes for future acquisitions and execution of strategic growth initiatives.

Due to our participation in the cannabis industry and the regulatory framework
governing cannabis in the United States, our debt and loan arrangements are
sometimes subject to higher interest rates than are market for other industries,
which has an unfavorable impact on our liquidity and capital resources.
Additionally, the cash requirements to service our debt obligations increase
with the passage of time due to interest accrual, which increases constraints on
our capital resources and tends to reduce liquidity in the amount of such
accruals. We currently anticipate meeting these cash requirements from operating
revenue and cash on hand. One of our strategic goals is to stimulate growth
through acquisitions, which also tends to negatively impact liquidity during
periods when we consummate an identified acquisition. We expect to continue
executing this strategy in future periods, meeting such capital requirements in
connection therewith from both internal capital and external financing
(including unused funds from the Investor Notes), which will decrease liquidity.
Additional factors or trends that have impacted or could potentially impact
liquidity in future periods include general economic conditions such as market
saturation, inflation, and general economic downturn. The Colorado cannabis
market has

experienced downward pricing pressure from over-supply of certain cannabis
products in the market, which has improved retail margins in current periods but
will likely impact the relationship between cost and revenue if and/or when
supply is decreased in the Colorado market. Increasing inflation may also
negatively impact our liquidity, as our cost of goods and services may increase
without corresponding increases to revenue. Increasing inflation and general
economic downturn in the United States could also negatively impact revenue to
the extent such factors affect consumer behavior.

The Company's cash used in operating activities for 2022 is predominantly driven
by the gain on derivative liabilities from the Investor Note. The Company's use
of cash from investing activities is driven by acquisition of businesses,
cannabis licenses, and property, plant and equipment for existing entities such
as store remodels. Our cash provided by financing activities is mainly from
proceeds from our credit facility, the Investor Notes and the issuance of shares
of Common Stock.
