Rosy Mondin, CEO of World-Class stated: "The acquisition of a controlling interest in Pineapple Express Delivery in March of 2020 has been extremely timely for World-Class. The Company has seen a 770% increase in its revenues from prior periods primarily because of this acquisition. We expect PED to continue to expand its operational capacity, and by maximizing on PED's capabilities, the Company has been able to capitalize on its successes. PED plays an important role in the continued growth of the Canadian cannabis industry; we are very excited moving forward this year as more business opportunities open up with the licensing of PED's delivery technology, as well as applying for significant upcoming delivery contracts."
Ms. Mondin continued, "Management remains hyper-focused and strategically positioning WCE to capitalize on the opportunities ahead in the pursuit of shareholder value. World-Class continues to be focused on lowering expenditures and improving operating efficiency as the Company continues to grow and align with the changing realities of the cannabis industry."
