"Our new strategic investor has introduced us to opportunities to reduce production costs and significantly ramp up revenues. As part of the realignment, we are preparing to move production of our LED lamps overseas and use the Canadian base as a distribution centre for our LED products as well as a catalogue of synergistic products sourced through our new investors. The Canadian facility will continue to be utilized for advanced research and development."
