As a result, we generated four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth and recorded the highest quarterly revenue in the fourth quarter. Momentum has carried into 2022 with the continued advancement into Louisiana and Virginia. The education channel is expansive and while we have made significant headway over the past few years there is still a long runway for growth and we will continue to be aggressive in pursuing new and existing geographies.”
The Company entered 2022 in a very strong financial position and does not foresee the need to raise additional capital due to an expected expanding top line and improving cash flow and very strong balance sheet.
