We are poised for growth and have the necessary capital to deploy in order to secure key acquisition targets. Our total assets nearly doubled in the last three months since year-end, despite the challenges of operating during the pandemic. We expect sales to increase during the rest of 2021 as our new e-commerce sales platform and rebranding begins to be recognized.”
