Management Commentary
"The most recent quarter reflects our work to improve financial performance, improve margins and streamline our operations to support building our operations in Illinois and New Jersey," stated Michael Mills, CEO of Body and Mind. "Nevada's wholesale pricing challenges and wholesale tax structure made it difficult to see the Company's Nevada operations generating sufficient profits over the long term when compared with the opportunity presented by taking the proceeds from Nevada's sale and continuing to build on our Illinois and New Jersey opportunities. We feel the Illinois and New Jersey markets continue to be underserved and offer significant opportunities for revenue growth as we expand our brand and bring our skilled teams to these new markets."
