TAAT™ Chief Executive Officer Setti Coscarella commented, “Our growth has accelerated this quarter as we continued to build the popularity of TAAT™ among smokers aged 21+. We have undertaken aggressive strategies to market TAAT™ in this consumer segment in order to sustain and grow interest in the United States by continuing to add stores to expand our sales pipeline. Establishing a reputable and well-known brand comes with the long-term benefit of laying the groundwork to introduce TAAT™ to new global markets.”

Key Financial Highlights of the Company’s Fiscal Q3 2021

• Gross revenue grew to an all-time high of $1,305,358 in Q3 2021, an increase of 1,956% from the same period in the prior year, and an increase of 88.77% from the previous quarter
• Gross profit for Q3 2021 was $781,226 with a gross profit margin of 59.84%, an increase from the gross profit margin of 52.58% in the previous quarter
• TAAT™ Common Shares remained part of the CSE Composite Index® and its CSE25™ subset of the 25 largest companies in Composite by market capitalization
• Healthy balance sheet with $10,174,001 in working capital

During the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.74 million versus $3.75 million in 2020. The increase in net loss of $3.99 million was mainly attributable to $4.98 million in increased marketing efforts relating to the advertising of its product in sporting events and in Europe offset by a number of non-cash items, including a decrease in share-based payments of $779,000.

Throughout Q3 2021 the Company continued the rollout of its flagship product TAAT™ in the United States as a nicotine-free and tobacco-free alternative to tobacco cigarettes for smokers aged 21+. Based on early-stage success at retail in Ohio and through e-commerce across the United States, the popularity of TAAT™ continued to grow among smokers aged 21+ as well as retailers of tobacco products and their respective wholesale/distribution partners. Through strategic marketing initiatives to consumer and wholesaler audiences, the Company has established brand equity in the USD $814 billion global tobacco industry. This credibility has proven instrumental to forming international distribution relationships for upcoming launches of TAAT™ in new markets such as Australia, as well as the United Kingdom and Ireland.

After reporting over 300% sequential revenue growth in Q2 2021 in a press release dated June 30, 2021 , in early July 2021 the Company launched TAAT™ in Illinois where it enjoys several competitive advantages to include a significantly lower retail price point in specific regions. The Company also began exhibiting at trade shows in the United States in late Q3 2021 and reported shortly thereafter in an early Q4 2021 press release that it had already closed 68 new initial purchase orders from contacts established at trade shows, separately from sales made through its regular channels.

During the final week of September 2021, the first overseas shipment of TAAT™ arrived in London for distribution in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Management of TAAT™ anticipates that the existing brand presence will launch the commercialization of TAAT™ in these new markets, as the Company continues to grow its sales footprint in the United States where the Company has recently enjoyed yet another quarter of growth.
