Executive Commentary

"The third quarter represents an exciting new chapter for Kush Bottles as it transitioned from a cannabis packaging provider to a dynamic, full-service sales platform with significantly increased distribution channels and more diversified product range," commented Nick Kovacevich, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kush Bottles. "We spearheaded this growth through the acquisition of CMP Wellness, a California-based distributor of vaporizers, cartridges and accessories, as well as the acquisition of the Roll-Uh-Bowl.com online distribution platform, which expanded our presence in the B2C market for the first time. This progress was reflected in record revenues in the third quarter, which were up 103% year-over-year and 59% sequentially."

Mr. Kovacevich continued, "To support the scaling of our business, we implemented several operational initiatives in the quarter, including the addition of two new distribution partners in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, which we believe are key medical cannabis markets, as well as the appointment of Kevin Nguyen to lead the Supply Chain & Logistics team. We remain committed to optimizing our operations and re-investing in the company to support an aggressive long-term growth strategy. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal year 2017, our focus is on integrating Roll-Uh-Bowl and CMP Wellness to leverage cross-selling opportunities and grow market share.

"We are better positioned now than we've ever been to benefit from growth in the cannabis market regardless of geography. We see particularly strong growth opportunities in Nevada, where adult-use cannabis sales commenced in July, as well as Northern California and Massachusetts, where we recorded strong sales growth this quarter. Furthermore, we are witnessing a shift in attitudes toward cannabis on a global scale – with major economies such as Germany, Greece and Mexico moving toward legalization – and continue to monitor all potential growth areas for the Company. As a result of this quarter's achievements, Kush Bottles has greater capacity to grow sales. We are excited to see the Company enter this new growth phase in its development," concluded Mr. Kovacevich.
