Ir Summary In 2019, the company relocated to a 20 000-square-foot unit in Mississauga. At that time the bars were hand-made and extremely labour-intensive. The company secured funding from investors to finance the automation of the manufacturing process and to hire employees. The loan had a conversion feature that could be triggered by the investors if the current ratio fell below 1.2. If the conversion feature is triggered, every $100 of the loan's principal value is converted to 10 common shares. As a result of the new financing, the company was able to produce 1.5 million bars and employ 40 people in 2019. A turning point came in early 2020, when the company redesigned its labels. The new labels focused on the short, real food ingredient list and as the two owners put it had a "no B.S." mantra. The redesign of the label really changed the business, and for the year ended September 30, 2021, the company sold 12 million bars, creating $ 100 million in revenue.
