Hmm...I see, PVI was generating revenue but PNPL was not.....but PVI was not a subsidiary either, so perhaps that's why, IDK. In this case here, I believe Pineapple Consolidated would be considered a subsidiary of MNAO and they wholly own PNPL Holdings, which contains these revenue generating assets....
Previously, PVI has invested in established cannabis businesses, funded cannabis start-up businesses, managed the aforementioned businesses for a management fee, and in some instances subleased property to these businesses for a profit. However, as of September 1, 2022, PVI shifted its primary focus to being a “non-plant touching” entity through development of cannabis assets and resale of the same for a profit in partnership with its affiliate entities, hemp CBD retail management services for a fee, and leasing and subleasing cannabis retail properties for a profit. PVI no longer operates or partially owns cannabis assets and acts only as a consultant for the purpose of facilitating development of those assets through PNPL Holdings, Inc. PNPL Holdings, Inc. is wholly-owned by Matthew Feinstein and, as such, is a related party to Pineapple, Inc. PVI no longer receives a 10% management fee for these cannabis entities and is now completely a non-plant touching ancillary service provider to the cannabis industry. As of September 30, 2022, PVI carries no ownership of any cannabis assets. However, PVI did own the following cannabis assets as of December 31, 2021 (these portions of ownership were transferred to PNPL Holdings, Inc.):
? Capital Growth Investments, Inc. (“CGI”): 20% as of December 31, 2021 (delivery, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution)
? Universal Herbal Center, Inc (“UHC”): 20% as of December 31, 2021 (delivery, manufacturing, distribution, and dispensary).
? PNPLXPRESS, Inc. (“PXI”): 10% equity interest as of December 31, 2021 (delivery and dispensary).
? PNPLXPRESS II, Inc (“Northeast LA Dispensary”): 49% equity interest as of December 31, 2021 (delivery and dispensary).
The ownership percentages previously owned by PVI were transferred to PNPL Holdings, Inc. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, three of the above cannabis assets (CGI, UHC and PXI) generated revenue while PVI held ownership. As noted above, as of September 30, 2022, PVI no longer has any ownership in these entities.
The following represents summarized financial information of PVI as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively:
Income statement 2022 2021
Revenue $ 489,145 $ 111,552
Cost of goods sold (756 ) -
Gross margin 488,389 111,552

Credle has told his story in several interviews, he was more or less brought into Pineapple, to 'right the ship', get them back on track, the company obviously has had a lot of struggles over the years, especially with the suspension in 2016.
He's probably the most highly educated penny stock CEO I've ever seen, 6 degrees, including 4 Masters degrees, he seems to be well connected and well respected, especially in the black community, from what I can tell from my DD. What he lacks in experience, he seems to make up for in pure brain power.....something the vast majority of penny stock CEO's do not have an ounce of....lol.
Its hard to tell exactly what's going on but he seems to have helped turn the company around. We'll know more when filings come out here, they raise $$$ by selling off parts of these 'Pineapple' entities, so they all seem to have these funky ownership percentages, so without filings its not easy to figure out what they have going on exactly.
I think its a high risk/high reward type scenario but a calculated risk that I don't mind and why I buy these kinds of penny stocks.

The problems with running 2 separate SEC reporting public companies, A) the huge expense and B) while its true that if one does well, if can positively effect the other one, same is true on the flip side, right now PNPL is a very low priced security with a CE and is an albatross for MNAO. So MNAO could always have its upside limited by PNPL, even if the CE is removed in the future, as sister companies they are always going to be connected.
However, one thought I had was this, what if PNPL was actually being set up as an RM vehicle..?? We know they are working with newer companies like Nature’s Treatment of Illinois, in helping them start up their businesses.....if one of these companies also wanted to go public, Pineapple could add that to their list of services by acquiring shells.
PNPL is almost like a shell now, most of the assets have been moved out, once the CE is removed, they could take one of these companies they are working with public through it....and it would have its own separate owners, its own separate management teams, etc, etc.....its would still be good for the PNPL shareholders.....just would no longer have any effect on MNAO.
Just a thought.
