Update on Green Therapeutics

This visit marks the starting point of a relationship between the parties that is expected to garner significant levels of shared expertise in operations, IP, and branding cross-development. Upon integration of the acquisition the Company will commence sales of FLI-branded products in the State of Nevada through Green Therapeutics’ existing distribution channels, which will be manufactured by Green Therapeutics at its existing facility in Las Vegas, using the Company's manufacturing processes. The Company also anticipates developing the distribution relationships with the Company's licensed tenants and business counterparts in the States of California, Colorado, Washington, Illinois and Oregon, to allow Green Therapeutics to sell its branded products in those markets through the licensed channels, where permitted by regulation. Green Therapeutics currently offers a range of products including ultra-premium flower, extracts, vaporizer cartridges and topical products under its "Provisions", "GT Flowers" and "Tsunami" brand names.

Green Therapeutics CEO Duke Fu, commented: "I was very pleased by the operational efficiencies and shared vision I observed through my visit to the Pueblo facility. These factors bode extremely well for the future of the consolidated company and I am proud to be joining the team. As we move towards closing the acquisition, we look forward to increasing the footprint of our products in other states, where these products are permitted by regulations."

Jim Frazier, CEO of Nutritional High added: "We look forward to working with Duke Fu and his team in an effort to introduce our products in the State of Nevada, which will be a key market as we continue to secure a foothold for our FLI-branded products across the country. The arrangement with Green Therapeutics is one of the examples of how we implement our cross-branding strategies to gain market share in various markets. As we continue to gain scale through organic growth and acquisitions, we believe it is important to develop and execute marketing initiatives that place brands at the forefront of our corporate strategy."
