Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) ("Red Light Holland" or the "Company"), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth, and sale of functional mushrooms and mushroom home grow kits in North America, and a premium brand of psilocybin truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, in compliance with all applicable laws, is pleased to announce that it has filed its financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2022 ended June 30, 2022, the highlights of which are included in this news release. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the accompanying management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") can be accessed by visiting the Company's website at www.RedLight.co, and its profile page on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
"I am pleased to announce that for our first fiscal quarter of 2022, we generated revenue of $785 thousand and gross profit of $289 thousand, an increase of 31.9% and 202.1%, respectively, compared to the same quarter last year. Considering Red Light Holland's short history, and the very early innings of the psychedelic sector, we are very proud of our accomplishments and cautious spending to get there," said Todd Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Red Light Holland. "We continue to build a strong foundation based upon operational excellence, customer satisfaction and brand awareness which have been the drivers for our revenue growth. We are now fully vertically integrated in the Netherlands, and we are expanding in both Canada and the United States. Near term future revenue growth opportunities will be realized through our increasing production capacity at Acadian Exotic Mushrooms Ltd.'s ("AEM") operational gourmet mushroom production facility in New Brunswick, and the addition of our two new retail stores in Oss and Utrecht. Currently we are pleased with the year-over-year sales growth at both Happy Caps in Halifax and SR Wholesale in Schijndel. Down the road we are also excited about the development of an additional AEM production facility in Peterborough, as discussed in our MD&A. Overall, our focus and goal of expanding production, distribution, branding and sale of our consumer-packaged goods has given us a great jump out of the gate. Oh, and working with Wiz Khalifa as we build out the Mistercap's brand is very exciting as we anticipate making noise as we get closer to market with the Mistercap's products. Our mission remains: to provide affordable and equitable adult access to naturally occurring psilocybin via technology, education, information and responsible use. I am grateful for our shareholders' continued support and our team's hard work. As always, feel free to contact me anytime with the email provided below. #FreeTheMagic."
With regards to the strength of the current financial position, David Ascott, Chief Financial Officer of Red Light Holland, added, "Our financial position and liquidity remains strong, and the Company currently has sufficient capital to fund its ongoing business development and future growth and expansion plans for the foreseeable future. The Company's working capital as at June 30, 2022 was $22.8 million which included $23.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. During the first fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company added $1.9 million in property and equipment through the acquisition of 100 acres of farmland near Peterborough, Ontario."

Forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement and reflect the Company's expectations as of the date hereof and are subject to change thereafter.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FUTURE ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This press release may contain future oriented financial information ("FOFI") within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, about prospective results of operations, financial position or cash flows, based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action, which FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the heading above entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and assumptions with respect to the costs and expenditures to be incurred by the Company, capital expenditures and operating costs, taxation rates for the Company and general and administrative expenses. Management does not have, or may not have had at the relevant date, firm commitments for all of the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions which may have been used to prepare the FOFI or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not, or may not have been at the relevant date of the FOFI, objectively determinable.
Importantly, the FOFI contained in this press release are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: (i) the future pricing for the Company's products, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company may from time to time conduct the Company's business, (iii) the Company's ongoing inventory levels, and operating cost estimates, and (iv) the Company's unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this press release do not purport to present the Company's financial condition in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's public disclosures, FOFI or financial outlook within this press release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FOFI, or financial outlook contained in this press release. Except as required by Canadian securities laws, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update such FOFI.
