TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hempsana Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “Hempsana”) today announced third quarter (“Q3”) financial results for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Randy Ko, Hempsana’s CEO, commented: “during the third quarter, we successfully completed the RTO and then turned our attention to our manufacturing and operational capabilities. Health Canada also amended our cannabis licence and authorized us to actively sell cannabis extracts, beverages, edibles, and topical products. This is great news, as it means that we can now supply and sell finished cannabis products directly to provincial distributors and other authorized Canadian retail supply channels. In order to leverage our new capabilities, we continued to establish relationships with supply partners, leading brands and corporate customers. While the market conditions for licensed processors have been challenging, we believe that we have laid a foundation for long term growth.”
Operational and Financial Highlights:
- Operationalized Isolate and Minor Cannabinoid Production Capabilities: During the quarter, the Company invested $110,374 to extend their commercial production capabilities to support the production of isolates and minor cannabinoids.
- Increased Production Utilization to 65%
- Processed 500+ kgs of Cannabis Biomass
- Processed 50+ kg of THC Crude
- Processed 150+kg of CBD Crude
- Processed 10+kg of CBD Distillate
- Total Net loss and comprehensive loss for Q3 2023 was $(2,460,126), compared to $(302,453) in Q3 2020.
- Total expenses in Q3 2023 were $2,483,676 compared to $297,807 in Q3 2020. The higher expenses were primarily driven by Listing Expenses of $1,949,739, of which $1,747,239 were non-cash expenses that reflected the value of the shares given to former shareholders of Stralak Resources Inc. as part of the RTO.
- The Company also incurred one time professional & legal expenses for the RTO transaction as well higher costs as the Company began commercial production activities.
