Steve Gormley commented: “We are really just getting started. Having joined the team as CEO in July 2018, we have been setting the ground work for what we believe will be a sensational company. The acquisition of our 51% state in La Vida Verde, Inc. did not close until January 2019, so it is not reflected in our results for the year ended December 31, 2018. We are in the final stages of completing the Audit of LVV. We ask our shareholders for patience as we build our story and roll-out our strategy.”
