Revenues

The Company attained a 129% increase in revenue compared to the same period in fiscal 2022 and a 116% increase compared to $2.6 million during the previous quarter (Q4 2022).
• The Company's hemp-infused consumer packaged goods subsidiary recorded comparable revenues compared to the same period in fiscal 2022 with positive gross margins. Overall, demand for hemp-infused products remains soft due to decreased wholesale demand in dispensaries and brick and mortar accounts, macro-economic headwinds, and increased competition due to low barrier to entry for hemp-infused products.
