Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $442,178 and $53,195, respectively, an increase of $388,983.

In addition, MCOA also recorded $12,581 in equipment lease revenues to a cannabis distributor and manufacturer as part of its Lynwood-MCOA joint venture with JV partner Cannabis Global Inc. (OTC: CBGL).
"During the third quarter 2021, despite the fact that we have been in the midst of a global pandemic, the Company produced the highest revenues in its history,” said Jesus Quintero, CEO of Marijuana Company of America, Inc. “Our Q3 financial performance was strong and reflects our ability, despite being in a challenging environment, to execute on the strategy by diversifying within the Cannabis industry thru strategic acquisitions along with organic growth.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, gross profits were $63,687 and $16,025, respectively, an increase of $47,662.

In addition, MCOA’s hempSMART business improved gross profits due to new pricing and promotions associated with sales restructuring and new sales strategies, along with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic subsiding during the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a result, the combined gross margins were 14.4% and 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
