Six-month revenues of $1,080,875
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2021) - Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) ("Red Light Holland" or the "Company"), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth, and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Company is also pleased to announce a significant increase in the number of Smart Shop retail stores selling its iMicrodose products in the Netherlands.
Commenting on Red Light Holland's second quarter performance, Todd Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer stated, "I am pleased with the progress that we have made during the second quarter. We were focused on iMicrodose and Maka product development with the goal of increasing future revenues and related margins. The quarter saw us close two important strategic acquisitions and continue to realize revenues and gross profit from our existing operations. Our acquisition of a majority interest in Acadian Exotic Mushrooms (AEM) is expected to commence significant revenue generation in March 2022. Increasing our revenue is a core focus and we continue to identify and analyze merger and acquisition transactions while remaining cautious with our spending habits."
With regards to the increased store presence in the Netherlands, Hans Derix, Red Light Holland President, added "We have increased the number of stores that sell our iMicrodose psychedelic products from 25 to 39 (a 56% increase) in the Netherlands. This is a significant increase in market presence that was completed under the backdrop of retail pressure attributed to the continuing global pandemic. We have also developed and launched a newly branded Maka line of products. As a result of these efforts, we expect increased revenue related to psychedelic products and functional mushroom products in the coming quarters."
Sarah Hashkes, Red Light Holland's CTIO added, "Rec and Tech is Red Light Holland's core focus. We have seen a strong increase in privacy first data collection with our iMicrodose end consumers in the Netherlands via our iMicro App. Our Tele-counseling support remains a phenomenal option and we are also thrilled to have entered into a 'mold making stage agreement' with Hotopfun factory in China to continue to build out Wisdom smart home devices, inspired by the mycelium network, in preparation for mass manufacturing Q1 of 2022. Red Light Holland continues to execute its strategic initiatives and we are proud of our unique and innovative technology and their alternative revenue streams."
