For further detailed information and analysis, please see the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the period ending September 30, 2023, as posted at sedarplus.ca and pharmacielo.com.

Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO, commented, "As the global cannabis market continues to develop and evolve, PharmaCielo is uniquely positioned to supply large, sophisticated, consumer and pharmaceutical product manufacturers. To our knowledge, there is no other company in the industry today who can consistently supply pharma-grade extracts and dried flower at the scale and with the cost advantage to that of PharmaCielo. As the cannabis market continues to develop and recover, we are in business development conversations and product testing with the most important players globally with a particular focus on the EU, Latin America, and Australia. Our team has built a focused and lean organization over the past twelve months, and effectively re-positioned the product portfolio on higher margin products. With total SG&A expenses down over 40% from Q3 of last year, and no meaningful capital expenditures necessary to get to full commercial scale, we are even better placed to generate higher profitability and cash flows as our sales efforts pay off."

Summary of Recent Developments

• On October 6, 2023, PharmaCielo announced that it had raised $1.5 million under its previously announced non-brokered private placement of debenture offering.
