"What AI solutions has your business engaged to help grow?", asked Davis to begin the interview. "On the retail side, we have introduced an artificial intelligence budtender," shared Glashow, adding that the AI budtender provides recommendations to customers, while also answering questions for a more personalized experience. "We've seen our average ticket grow anywhere from 40%-60%."

Glashow then expanded on the Company's use of AI technology with regards to cultivation and the challenges many companies face within this sector. "We have identified technology which scans the plants and is able to see stress issues related to water and light seven days before it is detectable by the trained human eye," said Glashow, adding that growers are immediately notified if any of these traits are identified. "We believe introducing new technology to cultivation related assets has the potential to be incredibly meaningful for this industry."

"How is CLS Holdings managing to stand out compared to other companies in the cannabis industry?", asked Davis. "We have stayed true to the local folks," said Glashow. "That has helped us through the pandemic as tourism came to a halt during that time period," he said. "We catered to locals and we have continued to cater to locals, and as a result our business has consistently continued to grow."

"Could you share what your current customer retention is?", asked Davis. "95%," shared Glashow. "We have a robust loyalty program in conjunction with a third-party vendor," he explained. "This has been the most effective outreach marketing campaign and we have been with them for well over five years," said Glashow. "We consistently give those people, our customers who we love, the best products at the best possible prices," he said. "And we are always trying to provide variety."

"You have also reduced your debt dramatically. What is your plan moving forward to continue that?", asked Davis. "We have taken debt, however it was a big initiative of mine to reduce that debt," said Glashow, adding that the company has reduced their debt from $23.5 million to $10 million over the last twelve months. "Mostly we have achieved this through existing cash flow," he said. "We are on track to pay down the debt by $200,000 per month," shared Glashow. "It is my goal by the end of the year to see our debt at around $7 million and my goal for the next calendar year to have it reduced to $4 million."

To close the interview, Glashow encouraged listeners and shareholders to keep up-to-date on the Company's current and upcoming projects as they continue to expand in the growing cannabis industry.
