Emerald Health Posts Q2 2018 Results

Emerald Health Therapeutics (TSXV:EMH) issued its financial results for the second quarter of 2018.

As quoted in the press release:

“I am proud of the success we’ve had scaling our business so far this year,” said Chris Wagner, CEO of Emerald Health Therapeutics. “Since the start of the second quarter, we acquired and began cultivating cannabis at our Quebec-based licensed producer Agro-Biotech, substantially increased our licensed cannabis production area at our Pure Sunfarms joint venture to roughly 420,000 square feet, and obtained from Health Canada Pure Sunfarms’ sales license. We signed our first provincial supply agreement with our home province of BC on terms we were very happy with. We also announced a term sheet for a strategic alliance with Factors Group, Canada’s largest nutritional supplement marketer and manufacturer, which we expect to significantly expedite our plans to process large quantities of biomass to extract and encapsulate bioactive compounds from cannabis and other plants.”
