Mr. Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented on the second quarter results stating, "Our case goods sales and direct sales revenues continue to be relatively steady through the second quarter despite the COVID-19 related effects to many businesses. Demand for bulk wine has been strong and bulk wine sales revenue has increased 128%, from $2.1 to $4.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021. Overall total revenues increased 8% from the previous year six-month period and total sales, marketing and administrative expenses decreased 10%, from $9.1 to $8.2 million. As a result, the Company's net loss decreased 20% to $4.5 million as compared to $5.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Grape and bulk wine sales are seasonal and these revenues are recognized primarily during the third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year."

2020 Harvest Update

Mr. Scott Scheid, President and CEO of the Company, stated, "The 2020 grape harvest began in late August and is expected to be completed in the first week of November. This timing is normal for wine grape vineyards on the Central Coast of California. Harvest is over 90% complete and yields have come in below average levels for most varieties." Mr. Scheid continued, "The California wildfire season was severe this year and has led to industry-wide concerns about the potential of smoke exposure negatively impacting wine quality. Although fires never directly threatened the Company's vineyards and winery, we are in the process of testing all grapes and wines for indicators of smoke exposure. Our winery has many tools including filtering and blending if required. It is possible that some 2020 vintage wines could be diminished in value."

Mr. Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented on the first quarter results stating, "Our case goods sales and direct sales revenues have been relatively flat for the first quarter primarily as a result of the COVID-19 related shut down of businesses across the world. Bulk wines sales have increased 47% to $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Overall total revenues increased 2% quarter over quarter. Total sales, marketing and administrative expenses decreased 12% during the quarter. As a result, the Company's net loss decreased 14% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, to $2.4 million as compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The grape and bulk wine business is seasonal, and sales from the current year harvest for those revenues streams are recognized primarily during the third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year."

2020 Harvest Update

Mr. Scott Scheid, President and CEO of the Company, stated, "We are designated as an essential agriculture business and all operations have remained at full employee strength throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Safety protocols are in place and documented as we prepare for the upcoming annual grape harvest. The harvest usually begins in late August in the Company's southernmost vineyards and is expected to be in full swing by mid-September. This timing is normal for wine grape vineyards on the Central Coast of California. At the present time, management anticipates that yields from the Company's vineyards during the upcoming harvest will be at average levels for most varieties."

Mr. Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented on the year-end results stating, "Our case goods sales continue to increase over the previous fiscal year. Case goods revenues for the year ended February 29, 2020 were up 13% over last fiscal year. Demand for wine grapes and bulk wine continues to be weak, and as a result, grape sales decreased by 58% and bulk wine sales decreased by 35% from last year. In addition, due to cool weather patterns in early spring and late summer of 2019, grape yields were down approximately 20% from long-term average yields, leading to a higher per-ton cost of grapes grown. The combination of weak demand and increased per-ton cost of grown grapes led to a drop in the Company's margins on the sale of grapes and bulk wine, which was the primary factor in the increase in the net loss during the current fiscal year. In addition, the Company took a write-down on its bulk wine inventory of $4.0 million in fiscal 2020 in order to more properly reflect the decreased value of its bulk wine inventory held for sale."
