The Company is also pleased to announce that it has been awarded:

• A Certificate of Occupancy (Occupancy Permit) by the City of Coalinga, for its 3,500 square foot manufacturing facility ("Site C"), and will initiate operations immediately.

• A Type P Manufacturing license from the California Department of Public Health. This allows NGW to efficiently increase production volumes of all consumer packaged goods by increasing the space and labor allocated to weighing, packaging, quality control and storage of Next Green Wave branded products.

The benefits of Site C are as follows:

• Allows for increased efficiencies and space for packaging, which will lower product costs and lead to higher margins.

• Keeps the manufacturing (extraction) costs at a minimum as the licensing, capital and staff requirements for the new objective at Site C are significantly reduced from original expectations.

• Because the manufacturing process is completed by a third party, there are no current capacity constraints related to manufacturing and can be scaled quickly based on demand.

• Allows NGW to scale multiple product sku categories in a single location (i.e. gummies, sauce carts, diamonds, badder, pre rolls, etc.).

NGW is constantly monitoring the extraction market to determine the proper entry point to manufacture internally. Currently, the market for Co2 oil and derivatives made from Co2 oil is not sufficient to justify the required resources to presently move forward in that area. Furthermore, the market for non-volatile extracts such as ice water hash and rosin are niche and do not yet have the market potential to justify the resources necessary to execute at this time for NGW. That being said, as soon as market conditions justify the move the Company is poised to ramp up and capitalize immediately.

The Company would also like to announce that the September 30, 2020 Financial Statements and Management Discussion & Analysis will be released on November 30, with details of a shareholder call coming shortly after.

"The large revenue increase from September to October is the result of our additional product offerings, combined with higher flower yields and enhanced operational efficiencies. As a result, I expect to sustain similar revenue numbers for the foreseeable future and anticipate consistent top line growth as our branded derivatives continue to penetrate the market." - Mike Jennings CEO Next Green Wave

Neither Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") nor its Regulation Services Providers (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

*All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars . Any preliminary unaudited long-term financial projections provided herein have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company's financial performance. One example of a non-IFRS financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which has limitations as an analytical tool as it excludes from net income as reported, interest, tax, depreciation, other income and expenses, non-cash grow costs expensed for biological assets and unsold inventory, ‎and the non-cash fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories. Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes that these non-IFRS financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-IFRS financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, non-cash, infrequent or not reflective of the Company's ongoing operating results. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company's methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with IFRS financial Measures.
