Luff Announces Sale of Nevada Assets and Provides Corporate Update



Herbal Dispatch Inc.

December 16, 2021 - TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. - Luff Enterprises Ltd., (CSE:LUFF) (CNSX:LUFF.CN) (“LUFF” or the “Company”) (all figures CAD unless otherwise stated) is pleased to announce it has completed the previously announced sale of its Nevada assets for aggregate gross proceeds of US$5 million.  Estimated expenses related to the sale will be US$20K. Concurrent to the closing of the sale the Company has fully repaid its $2 million secured loan and now has no third party debt outstanding.

This transaction continues the process of divesting non-core assets in the United States and freeing up capital to focus on high impact sales opportunities.  The Company is focused on growing sales of its core suite of hemp derived CBD wellness products primarily through online channels.  It has recently implemented a subscription model which has shown some early signs of promise to generate meaningful reoccurring revenue for the Company.

LUFF is committed to focusing on its online sales strategy and is looking to deploy this capital to continue to build out high impact sales channels as well as identifying synergistic partnership opportunities to complement this strategy. As recently disclosed in the third quarter financials, the Company recorded strong sales for the third quarter of $567,000 and $847,000 for the year to date and gross margins of 56%. While sales in the fourth quarter are expected to be lower, the switch to a subscriber model will contribute recurring revenues and a more sustainable model to build and the proceeds of this sale will allow for increased targeted advertising which will drive future sales.

LUFF CEO Philip Campbell commented, “We are happy to have concluded the sale of our Nevada assets at a very attractive price relative to our cost base. This allows us to utilize the net proceeds to continue to build out our online sales channels across North America. We now have very little outstanding debt, lean overhead costs and over $4 million in working capital to continue to build and expand the business.  Moving into 2022 we are well positioned to continue to grow our sales channels and leverage our strategic advantages.”
