CEO Mr. Douglas Mason states," We continue to accomplish strategic objectives by increasing our processing capacity as well as has attained an SQF (Safe Quality Food) Level2 certification for our Bar Makers Division. We are continually improving efficiencies and increasing margins, and this continues to be a major focus for our growing company. We continue to see the effect of our strategies in this latest quarter and continue the trend into the second quarter of 2019, and we anticipate recently announced sales and manufacturing contracts to bolster revenues moving forward.

We continue to follow the licensing process for our Dealer's License, which has now been changed to a Processors License under the revised Cannabis Act. The reputation we are earning in the market as a premium food manufacturer, in combination with our hemp and extraction expertise, is sure to position the company favorably as CBD (cannabidiol) regulations continue to evolve here in Canada and in fact, globally. These initiatives firmly position the Company for CDB- fortified manufacturing and production capabilities, as set forth in our strategic plan once newly anticipated Canadian legislation allows.

Private Label and co-packing and most notably contract manufacturing continues to increase over and many clients have begun signaling the demand for increased production as well and in addition have expressed interest for CBD fortified food products, anticipating favorable regulations. These initiatives firmly position the Company for CDB- fortified manufacturing and production capabilities, as set forth in our strategic plan."

In closing, we believe 2019 will continue the growth seen in the latest 2 quaters, as the foundation has been laid to provide maximum shareholder value in 2019 and beyond."
