Overall, this year’s results are a reflection of the continued uncertainty in the world with respect to the COVID pandemic and the African Swine Fever. However, cash reserves and working capital remain strong and sales of key products are starting to return.
The market for Iron Dextran was significantly weakened due to a swine fever epidemic in China, which resulted in the substantial culling of herds and the corresponding demand for product, and later in Germany, which greatly increased competition for product from within Europe. The company is receiving some orders from Europe but is encountering logistical problems with shipping due to COVID and the situation in Ukraine.
”While the pandemic continues to be of concern, we continue to receive orders from Europe,” noted George Usher, President and CEO.
He continued, “We are cautiously optimistic about the growing interest in our Native Dextran for industrial uses, due to its significant potential because of reduced processing times and less government regulation. We have begun shipping product as a result of our earlier announced relationship with Termanox, to use Native Dextran in place of harmful chemicals in water cooling systems, which is just one of the new applications in development for the product.”
“We are also focusing on our Dextran Powder product and other new market opportunities with potential, including a collaboration with an American-based company to develop higher quality product for use in wider applications,” Mr. Usher added.
