Investing in securities of the Company involves risks. See "Risk Factors" included in our Q3 2022 Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the Company's Annual Information Form and other public filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (the "Risk Factors"). This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. All financial information is in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Forward Looking Information Certain information set forth in this presentation and any other information that may be furnished to prospective investors by the Company in connection therewith, other than statements of historical fact, may be considered "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (referred to herein as forward-looking statements). Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements related to activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, statements related to the Corporation's business strategy objectives and goals, and the Corporation's management's assessment of future plans and operations which are based on management's current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs, which may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of words such as "may", "will", "could", "would", "should", "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend", "potential", "estimate", "budget", "scheduled", "plans", "planned", "forecasts", "goals" and similar expressions or the negatives thereof. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward looking statements in this presentation include statements related to the buildout and development of the cultivation facility owned by the Company in Camarillo, California (referred to herein as the SoCal Farm); the Company's business plans and strategies; the addressable markets for the Company's products; the Company's competitive position,; the ability to develop products, scale production and distribute productsh; the Company's retail expansion strategy and plans to grow its market share in existing and new markets; the Company's investment in new technologies and products; the Company's expansion of production capacity; the development and expansion of the Company's brands; strategic acquisition opportunities; the future size of the cannabis market in California and the United States; the receipt of licenses from regulatory authorities; and the Company's future financial performance. In addition, the financial projections and estimates contained under "Pro Forma Wholesale Biomass Economics" and elsewhere in this presentation, including proforma gross profit and gross profit margin constitute "forward looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such information is being provided to demonstrate potential future outcomes and may not be appropriate for other purposes and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future financial results. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the Risk Factors and the other risk factors identified in this presentation. Although the Company has attempted to identify the main risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking statements, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that they presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what the Company believes are reasonable assumptions, you are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these statements since actual results may vary from the forward-looking statements. Any data demonstrating the historical performance contained in this presentation are intended only to illustrate past performance and are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the results or developments that the Company anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Non-GAAP Measures This presentation makes reference to certain non-U.S. GAAP measures, such as proforma gross profit and gross profit margin, among other non-GAAP measures that may be identified herein. These measures are not recognized under U.S. GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement U.S. GAAP measures by providing further understanding of GH Group's results of operations from management's perspective. Market participants frequently use non-U.S. GAAP measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management of the Company do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercises of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. You should review the Company's current financial statements and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business. Readers are also referred to the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Company's Q3 2022 MD&A at www.Sedar.com. Cannabis-related Activities are Illegal Under U.S. Federal Laws The Company derives 100% of its revenues from doing business in the cannabis industry in the U.S. The concepts of "medical cannabis" and "adult-use cannabis" do not exist under U.S. federal law. The U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies "marihuana" as a Schedule I drug. Accordingly, cannabis- related practices or activities, including, without limitation, the manufacture, sale, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis and its derivatives, are illegal under U.S. federal law and the enforcement of the relevant laws poses a significant risk. These laws and their enforcement are in flux and vary dramatically from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The enforcement of these laws and its effect on the Company and its business, employees, directors and shareholders are uncertain, and accordingly, involve considerable risk. Strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. Any such proceedings brought against the Company may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance. 2
