● HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL SWINGS (SUMMER/WINTER)
● LACK OF INSULATION MEANS MORE COOLING IN SUMMER, MORE HEATING IN WINTER

SUMMARY
• Broken Coast is focused on producing the highest quality
cannabis possible.
• Our quality based brand means we must have complete control
over the growing environment.
• Energy costs associated with indoor growing do not represent a
significant percentage of the selling price for our products.
• Our discerning customers would not notice a reduction in shelf
price but would not accept a reduction in product quality.
