Revenue grew 177% to $10.1M from $3.6M in the prior year. Revenue growth was driven by the growing demand in our premium distillate, extended product offerings, and expanding customer base.

Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 41% of revenue from sale of goods for the year ended November 30, 2022, compared with 61% in the comparative prior year. The Company continued to realize production efficiencies to combat price compression in the wholesale distillate market as production and sales continued to ramp up. This was offset by an expanded product mix, which includes various grades of premium distillate.

During the year the Company incurred an inventory write-down of $2.5M, compared with $3.9M in fiscal 2021. A change in market conditions resulting in the price compression of wholesale cannabis distillate, subsequent to year end, resulted in a change of estimated inventory valuation.

Total general & administrative (“G&A”) expenses declined by $729k or 14% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021, driven by year-over-year reductions in corporate development, marketing, and share based compensation expenses. G&A decreased to 44% of revenue during the year, compared with 142% in fiscal 2021.

The fair value of the Class B preferred shares at the transaction date was $4,976,949. As noted previously the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 bearing an interest rate of 8% per annum and 13,000,000 common shares as part of redemption and cancellation transaction of the Class B preferred shares. Following the transaction the Company recorded a gain on settlement in the amount of $296,416.

Net and comprehensive loss in fiscal 2022 was $(2.0M) which is a $5.1M decrease from fiscal 2021 loss of $(7.1M). The year-over-year improvement is primarily driven by an increase in revenue and reduction in G&A expenses and inventory write-down, which was offset by an increase in cost of goods sold.

Cash and Working Capital

As at November 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $3,683,558 (November 30, 2021 – $2,033,054) which consisted of cash of $1,810,639 (November 30, 2021 - $1,046,916), receivables of $1,906,820 (November 30, 2021 - $1,147,341), prepaid expenses of $3,885 (November 30, 2021 - $122,755), inventory of $5,766,418 (November 30, 2021 - $7,153,378).
