1933 attributed most of the losses to the completion of two cost-heavy projects: a new cultivation facility in Las Vegas and expansion of its operations in California under a management agreement with Green Spectrum Trading Inc.

“The projects spanned two quarters and required extensive capital expenditures and resources and are notable milestones for the company,” it said in a statement. “The company also continued to attract premium brands as partners in Nevada, and added edibles brand The Pantry Company as well as premier cannabis brand Bloom to its extensive product portfolio.”
1933 said that while it used the necessary resources to bring its infrastructure projects in Nevada and California online, it maintains a “strong” cash position, with a balance of $9.1 million for ongoing operations.
Revenues were lower than expected, 1933 said, due to reduced overall sales from its cultivation arm as it transitioned from its old facility to its new Las Vegas operations. Revenues also lagged because of a slower than expected recovery of vape and distillate sales, following last year’s crisis of vape-related illnesses.
“While the vape crisis had a negative effect on revenues across both THC and CBD products during the first two quarters of fiscal 2020, we have seen a slight rebound in demand subsequent to the end of the second quarter,” CEO Chris Rebentisch said in the statement. “Our outlook for the remainder of 2020 is for limited revenue growth, as the company adapts to current market conditions.”
