"Considering the start-up challenges and obstacles this Company has had to overcome over the last few years we are extremely proud to announce the accomplishments above. Now that we have set baselines for production and revenue over the last two quarters, our objectives are threefold. First, continue to optimize operations and improve production metrics to maximize overall flower output at our production facility. Second, continue to grow revenue by increasing branded product sales volume and increasing downline product sales such as extracts, pre-rolls, vape cartridges and edibles. Finally, get our extraction facility online this year which will add revenue through tolling and decrease internal production costs for downline products."

"The entire NGW team has been working tirelessly to meet our continued growing customer's demand as we are sold out of product week over week. The rapid expansion into retail is in full bloom across California including Oakland, Los Angeles, San Joaquin Valley and San Diego areas," stated Mike Jennings, CEO.

On June 07, 2020, the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options under its Stock Option Plan, exercisable at a price of CDN$0.15 per share for two directors. The stock options are five-year options which will vest 25% every six months for a period of two years.
