Revenues for the quarter increased 280.6% to $1,182,399 from $310,698 for the same period the year before. The increase of $871,702 was attributable to revenue recognized from financing income associated with 13 new financing leases between 5 customers from 2020 to 2021. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in operating lease revenue resulting from all operating leases terminating or completed in 2020.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased 62.3% to $1,386,230 from $854,031 for the same period the year before. The increase was primarily the result of the increase in personnel and contractor costs due to an increase in operations, professional fees related to legal, audit, and accounting expenses associated with non-recurring projects, and non-cash incentive compensation.

Other expenses for the quarter increased to $1,269,309 from $123,753 for the same period the year before. The increase in other expense of $1,146,000 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $1,321,000 in financing and accretion expenses associated with new debt and equity issuances in 2021. Additionally, the Company had foreign currency translation losses in 2021 of approximately $764,000 related to the translation of convertible notes issued in Canada to US currency, and an increase in the realized and unrealized losses of approximately $381,000 related to the Company's Greenlane investment. The above increases were partially offset by a non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $1,049,000.

Net loss for the quarter was $1,473,140, compared to net loss of $667,086 for the fourth quarter of 2020.
