Harvest One has undergone important leadership changes as it transitions to the next stage of its development. This quarter was also a pivotal period in the evolution of the Canadian cannabis industry as all stakeholders underwent the unique operational exercise of preparing for full legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada. I am proud to say Harvest One has executed on our roll-out strategy, meeting all provincial obligations and establishing the basis for successful long-term relationships with both public and private retailers. The work we are doing now lays the foundation for a landmark year in 2019 when cannabis companies will be judged on execution and financial performance. This is emphasized by Harvest One’s record revenues this quarter, representing an 862% increase over the same period last year. With revenue forecasts in place for each of our four divisions – licensed producer, retail, medical & nutraceutical, and consumer – Harvest One remains very optimistic for the balance of fiscal 2019.”
On the operational front, Harvest One Cannabis has signed agreements to supply adult-use cannabis to four provinces: British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan and successfully met all provincial load-in obligations.
