I believe the value of the extractors was shaved as soon as it became apparent that the business models were failures and that the companies had to pivot in a new direction.

1) Their PPS values reflected a different industry / products.

2) Their PPS reflected a new business model.

In this case, NEPT is much further along than Valens, and miles ahead of MediPharm.

We'll have to see if they can find their own new niche and make something positive out of it.

Neptune Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

Mon February 15, 2021 7:09 PM

LAVAL, QC, Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. ("Neptune" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated health and wellness company focused on plant-based, sustainable and purpose- driven lifestyle brands, today announced its financial and operating results for the three- month and nine-month periods ending December 31, 2020.

During the third fiscal quarter, Neptune substantially completed its strategic transition from extraction of hemp and cannabis to the production and sale of consumer-packaged goods and branded products. Neptune believes the shift to consumer-packaged goods and branded products will ultimately result in higher margins and lower risk and will enable the company to generate positive adjusted EBITDA sooner than in its prior B2B model. In addition, the transition has allowed Neptune to prepare logistics to build scale and situated the Company for accelerated growth.

With Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), along with Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) having released a statement on February 1, 2021 that cannabis reform would be a priority for the 117th Congress (CACOX), Neptune will continue its focus on the use of cannabinoids as a "super ingredient" that promotes improved health and wellness. With Neptune's production facilities in the United States — together with the positive early adoption of our Canadian Mood Ring™ brand (named as the "best hash you can buy right now"1) — the Company has positioned itself to be the leader for cannabis consumer-packaged goods in the U.S.

Neptune has also recently demonstrated the power of our M&A and diversification strategy with the acquisition of Sprout Foods ("Sprout"), a three-brand portfolio of organic plant-based baby food and toddler snacks with USD$28 million in annual net revenues. With this acquisition, investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital ("MSEC") have become a major shareholder in Neptune. Neptune expects that further M&A will be an important component of its growth strategy of creating a broad health and wellness solutions organization.

With regards to our third quarter fiscal 2021, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except if specified otherwise.
