MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We are proud to have achieved our second consecutive profitable quarter. We have surpassed the $1,000,000 revenue mark for each of the first two quarters of this fiscal year. Our financial statements for Q2 2020 reflect the improvements we have realized in all key indicators of economic progress. Over the last year, we have completed and started using new grow rooms to increase our output. Our focus on high quality, indoor-grown cannabis at reasonable prices has made our cannabis a best seller," said THC BioMed President & CEO, John Miller. "These results demonstrate the vision and abilities of our management team and we expect to continue this high level of performance going forward."
