Third Quarter Results for 2021

Vancouver, British Columbia, November 29, 2021 - Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. ("Naturally Splendid", "NSE" or "the Company") (FRANKFURT:50N) (TSX-V:NSP)(OTC:NSPDF) announces its unaudited financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. All amounts are in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Naturally Splendid chief executive officer Craig Goodwin reported: "The company continues to execute on our strategic plan, developing, manufacturing and distributing plant-based, meat alternative entrees. Having identified plant-based entrees as our priority, work has already begun retrofitting our existing food manufacturing facility located in British Columbia. This includes installation of a state-of-the-art packaging line, which has already been initiated. This line is expected to be operational in the next 30 to 45 days. Once fully operational, this new packaging line creates significant opportunities in the retail market by providing a wide range of packaging formats that can then be placed in both chiller and freezer sections of grocery stores. The versatility of this packaging line creates opportunities for sales in multiple formats for different placement in stores across a wide range of potential clients, ultimately resulting in increased sales."

Mr. Goodwin added: "The company has announced a private placement, of which funding will be directed towards the purchase and installation of a high-output manufacturing line that will be capable of initially producing a ton-an-hour output of a wide variety of plant-based entrees. This capacity is expected to increase up to 1,000 kilograms to 1,500 kilograms per hour within the same manufacturing footprint as efficiencies are achieved.

"This line has been selected for the ability to manufacture our plant-based foods to the exacting standards of our Australian partners, Flexitarian Foods. Selection and installation of this manufacturing line is being assisted directly by key members of the Flexitarian Foods team, who have travelled from Australia and are currently in the process of their on-site evaluations in order to optimize efficiencies of manufacturing line. Key members of Flexitarian Foods will then also be instrumental in the training of the Naturally Splendid production team to assure our clients that they will be receiving the same high-quality products that are currently produced in Australia.

"Natera Plant Based Food entrees were listed at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), the first of what we anticipate to be multiple listings at postsecondary institutions across Canada.

"Working with our existing distribution network, including Sysco, Gordon Food Service (GFS) and Canex Foods, the company has representation in major centres across Canada and expects to increase our food service clientele through this network, as well as from our own sales initiatives."

The company has recently announced a direct-to-consumer, distribution arrangement with Sealand Quality Foods and looks to add additional direct-to-consumer partners to service specific regions and demographics. As consumer shopping habits have changed, driven in large part by the continued challenges posed by the continuing pandemic, additional direct-to-consumer distribution arrangements

will be added to meet the expectations of this growing segment, which is adapting to new ways to shop for groceries.

Naturally Splendid chief financial officer Bryan Carson stated: "As reported in previous news releases, establishing the new manufacturing and packaging lines in our existing facility requires significantly less capital than would be required to build out an entirely new manufacturing facility. It must also be noted that the learning curve that is associated with the implementation of a new production line is minimized with the assistance of the Flexitarian Foods team. Manufacturing Natera Plant Based Foods in Canada rather than importing from Australia will have many advantages, including access to ingredients and supplies more readily available in Canada, improved inventory controls, and significantly reduced logistic challenges, thus resulting not only in increased margins, but will also bring forth additional opportunities to the company expanding our current client list, ultimately resulting in improved top- and bottom-line sales."

Mr. Carson further stated: "The company continues to evaluate ongoing projects, including the Health Canada-approved phase 2 clinical trial for a potential COVID treatment, as well as our bar manufacturing business. In regard to the Health Canada-approved clinical trial, we have all been optimistic that the pandemic was on the decline, which affected our decisions in how to proceed to trial. However, with the most recent developments surrounding the announcements by the World Health Organization as it relates to the latest mutation of the COVID virus, renewed efforts will be forthcoming looking to partner with experienced pharma companies to get Cavaltinib to trial.

"Manufacturing of bars and bites had been a priority up until the pandemic. The bars and bite business has been negatively affected due in part to ingredient supply chain challenges. Challenges related to supply chain logistics needed to be reviewed, which required an in-depth evaluation of this division. The company is developing strategic plans around this opportunity that will allow the company to begin the recovery of this division. The company will provide further updates to both the Health Canada trial and the bars and bites manufacturing in the near future."

Financial reporting standards

Naturally Splendid recorded a net loss and comprehensive loss of $2,486,566 for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021, compared with a net loss of $3,340,159 during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020. The decrease in net loss and comprehensive loss was attributed to the decrease in selling and distribution expenses. Gross profit margins increased by 2.4 per cent of sales in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021, compared with the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020. This is predominantly due to the increased profit margins in the new plant-based sales. The company's sales decreased by approximately $729,000 from the comparative period. During the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2021, selling and distribution expense decreased by approximately $512,600 largely due to a decrease in production (facility costs, quality assurance and lab testing) and production wages, which were offset by the government wage subsidy received during the quarter. Administrative expenses decreased by approximately $431,000 predominantly from office, rent and salaries, and corporate promotions. The decrease was attributed to a reduction in investor relations activity due to the pandemic and the reduction of corporate salaries from the government wage subsidy.
