Due to accelerated marketing efforts in late January 2020, the brand was able to improve gross margins by 4.9% from January 2020 to February 2020. The Company anticipates these efforts will yield a further positive impact on revenue and margin in subsequent months.

First Class offers a CBD hemp-oil formulation intended to provide users with the therapeutic benefits that hemp may offer. The hemp oil used in the products is derived from hemp grown and cultivated in the United States. The extraction process is designed to maintain all the beneficial qualities that hemp may offer. First Class offers a range of products, which include CBD oil drops, CBD gummies, CBD pain relief cream, CBD skin serum and CBD coffee. The Company plans to continue growth of First Class in the United States over the balance of 2020, as well as an expansion into the European market. 'I am extremely pleased with the performance of the First Class brand through the beginning months of 2020. The continued growth we are experiencing is evidence of the strong consumer demand in the CBD market. While eCommerce demand is generally weakest in January and February, we continue to demonstrate our leadership through achieving approximately Cdn$5,874,000 in revenue through the first two months of the year,' stated Ryan Hoggan, CEO of the Company.
