In particular, Helix continued to grow its Biotrack seed-to-sale cannabis software business. BioTrackTHC added 306 new licenses in the quarter, a 50% increase in new users quarter over quarter. Recurring commercial revenues from BioTrack increased 10% from the second quarter, and its commercial bookings increased 27% to $489,000.
Venegas said the company is in a position of strength.
“While we firmly believe that the market does not view correctly, the company itself is stronger than ever,” Venegas said. “We clearly anticipated the tightening in capital markets, and took appropriate steps months in advance to prepare for it, and we are on track in improving our cash from operations, cutting costs, and closing in on profitability even as we continue to grow our market share and add new product and service lines. Doing this all simultaneously while requiring minimal capital is solid proof of the operational results that we deliver for investors.”
