IGNITE Files Q2 2020 Financial Statements and MD&A
October 15 2020 - 7:30AM
IGNITE International Brands, Ltd. (CSE:BILZ, OTCQX: BILZF)
(“
IGNITE” or the “
Company”), a
global consumer packaged goods brand, announces that the Company
filed its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020,
interim MD&A for the same period and accompanying certificates
(collectively, the “
Interim Filings”) today. The
Interim Filings have been filed on the System for Electronic
Document Analysis and Retrieval and may be viewed by shareholders
and interested parties under the Company’s profile at
www.sedar.com.
Though the Company’s present management is
dissatisfied with the losses incurred by the Company during the
second quarter prior to the internal reorganization, including John
Schaefer becoming IGNITE’s President, it is pleased with the
progress made in restructuring its operations to drive down
operating costs, drive sales growth and improve overall financial
performance. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed that progress,
management believes that the Company has continued to expand its
presence by growing its customer base while expanding its product
offering. As such, management remains confident in the Company’s
market strategy and remains focused on leveraging IGNITE’s brand
reputation and continuing to build strategic partnerships to bring
the Company’s products to a broader, more global customer base.
The Company’s third quarter results are expected to
be reported on or before November 30, 2020. As the quarter has
already ended, management believes that the third quarter operating
results will show a substantial improvement over the second quarter
but the complete reflection of the results from the internal
reorganization will not be fully realized until the fourth quarter.
As a result, management believes the Company will achieve
profitability in the fourth quarter.
