borrowing through financial institutions. Our S1 offering documents were approved by the SEC on May
7, 2019 and this will assist us raising capital from non-convertible stock sales to bolster our acquisition
programs in the coming months.
“With improved margins and acquisitions, we expect a return to profitability by year end 2019, “said
