MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reported revenues of approximately $4.0 million, achieved significant cost reductions with expenses lowered to $0.8 million, and delivered a gross profit of nearly $1.0 million. These improvements resulted in net income of $139,219 and comprehensive income of $167,249 for the period, marking a positive turnaround compared to the prior year", said Mr. Brian Farrell, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "We continue to execute on our cost-saving initiatives and operational improvements. Our ability to deliver positive net income for three consecutive quarters while maintaining product quality and market presence in Nevada demonstrates the resilience of our business model. We remain focused on positioning the Company for sustainable growth while pursuing long-term value creation. We are also encouraged by the recent developments in the US to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. 1933 Industries remains ready to capitalize on future opportunities in the growing cannabis sector."

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

On September 9, 2025, the Company announced that it had closed the Debenture Repurchase Agreement (the "Agreements"), with two arm's length parties for the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of the Company's outstanding unsecured convertible debentures. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company repurchased $475,000 in principal value of debentures for total cash consideration of $47,500. Following the closing, the debentures were transferred, cancelled, and removed from the Company's outstanding liabilities.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 9, 2025, a total of 3,700,000 share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.08 expired.

POSITIVE INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

The Company is encouraged by the recent executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on December 18, 2025, directing federal agencies to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. This significant regulatory development is seen as a step toward improving the operating environment for U.S. cannabis businesses, potentially alleviating certain tax burdens and improving access to banking services. While regulatory processes are ongoing, this reclassification could positively impact the cannabis industry by reducing administrative costs, improving tax treatment, and facilitating better financial access. The Company believes this development is an encouraging sign for the future growth prospects of 1933 Industries.

Furthermore, the administration's clarity regarding the hemp-derived CBD market creates significant new opportunities for the industry. In light of these developments, the Company is actively reviewing its Canna Hemp assets to ensure alignment with new CBD regulations, with a view toward a potential future relaunch of these products.
