Business Outlook
The company sales for Quarter 1, ending November 30, 2015, exceeded $1,000,000, representing over a 70% increase quarter to quarter.
The company sales for the week ending December 11, 2015, were approximately $120,000. This sales milestone provides the company with an adequate level of cash flow which exceeds their current operating expenses. Management is very pleased to have attained positive cash flow so early in their infancy.
The company exceeded their targets for this fiscal year from a revenue and customer acquisition basis. They focused on solidifying their production capabilities and ensuring a superior customer experience. They completed Phase 3 of their build out and now have 7 large grow rooms in production of a potential 13 within the existing facility.
As the next fiscal year unfolds, the company has many of the same targets but only on a much larger scale. However, in conjunction with this, the company will continue to implement solid business practices and policies which will ensure structure and stability. The Company's key short-term goals continue to include:
- Complete the construction (Phase 4 & 5) and receive Health Canada approval of an additional 6 large grow rooms within the existing facility. This will add an additional 1,500kg of annual production capacity, which will bring its annual capacity to over 3,100 kg.
- Continual efforts on education within the Medical Community.
- A focused effort on cost control throughout the organization and a further reduction on production costs per gram.
- To continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.
- Ensure the company is well positioned for legalization from a production and branding perspective.
- Complete the expansion of the Company's facility by connecting the adjacent building and starting phase 6 & 7 of the development plan. This will access an additional 12 grow rooms and provide annual production capabilities of approximately 7,500 kilograms.
The company has grown significantly over the past year, achieved many milestones and met all commitments. The industry is evolving at a rapid rate and it is our intention to be prepared for these changes as they occur. We continue to streamline our systems and processes for efficiency and optimization of resources. It is the company's opinion that those producers who can maximize their product margins will be the leaders in the industry as it exists today and if legalization occurs.
The Company has secured an additional $6.4 million of financing which will enable them to continue their expansion, provide additional working capital and to continue to onboard clients at a rapid rate.
