Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis.* ### 1B MRBs  *![1B 2022.10.07](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%202022.10.07.png?width=683&name=1B%202022.10.07.png) Tier 1B Defined: CRB Monitor tiers businesses that have a financial or controlling interest in a Tier 1A CRB as "Tier 1B."
