Our business pipeline remains strong for both our own branded lines and our private label contract manufacturing. Additionally, our high activity of strategic corporate discussions and negotiations have led to meaningful opportunities such as the TWS Pharma asset acquisition announced via an 8K filing on August 17, 2021, adding over $5 million in assets to our balance sheet. Opportunities like these we believe will accelerate our growth and further solidify our balance sheet."

Revenue: For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenue was $0.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 96%, compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the resumption of elective surgeries in 2021 which were temporarily paused through Q2 of 2020 due to the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak. Medical durable equipment utilized in elective surgeries is the Company's primary medical device revenue. In addition, the increase was related to operations of the Company's delta-8 synthesizing business which began in March 2021.

The resulting gross margin was 35.6%, compared with 76.6% for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin is due to an increase in medical durable equipment contribution to revenue and an increase in inventory pricing.
