Management Commentary
The TRX acquisition, together with the Company's exclusive licensing and extraction agreement with HighGrade Supply ("HighGrade"), has allowed the Company to produce what we believe to be some of the highest quality cannabis 2.0 products available in Canada, including distillates and isolates of products including THCa Crystalline, Delta 8 THC, CBG, CBN and hydrocarbon products such as High Cannabinoid Full Spectrum Extracts (HCFSE), High Terpene Full Spectrum Extracts (HTFSE), Crumble, Shatter, Live Resin, Budder, Terp Diamonds and more. These premium hydrocarbon products are sold through provincially licensed retailers in seven Canadian provinces and territories, for a custom hydrocarbon system designed for high throughput and purity. The HighGrade platform can process up to 1,100 kgs of biomass daily, with the potential for growth expansion.
Radient continues to implement its restructuring plan. The Company intends to focus on the Company's hydrocarbon concentrate product lines and may likely cease the production of cannabis pre-rolls products. Sales of hydrocarbon concentrates continue to improve, and the Company is receiving repeat-customer orders and positive product reviews.
The Company expects sales hydrocarbon products to continue but requires sufficient working capital to facilitate fulfilling product purchase orders and growth. The Company is pursuing avenues to raise working capital and restructure its debt to allow the Company to continue to operate as a going concern but cannot assure it will be able to do so.
Loan Facility Demand
As previously announced, Moskowitz Capital Mortgage Fund II Inc. issued a demand notice on August 26, 2022, to the Company for payment of approximately $10.5 million, plus accrued costs and additional interest to the date of payment pursuant to the terms of a secured loan facility (the "Facility") guaranteed by the Company.
