•The approximately $22,000 decrease in consulting fees is related to TBN projects as we saw the successful completion and opening of the Stillaguamish project in October 2024 and we moved the announced Coquille and Tonto Apache projects that were in planning phase into construction phase in preparation for openings in late 2025. 

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales were approximately $1,095,000 and $1,098,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of approximately $(3,000), or 21.0%, period over period. Cost of Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 includes approximately $121,000 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses related to RSU grant awards recognized in the  three months ended June 30, 2025 for production employees compared to no such award recognition in 2024.

We made the choice to move our sales focus onto higher margin products and away from low margin well-based products, resulting in fewer cases sold in 2024 relative to 2023. Fewer cases of production carrying the same amount of overhead increases the unabsorbed overhead, and the associated cost per case, using standard cost accounting methodologies. Assuming all other factors remain steady in the business, as we work to grow our Salute Series volume sales, which is our highest margin item, we will begin to see reductions in our unabsorbed overhead overall and per case, leading to higher
