Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
The downturn in the global financial markets, particularly within the cannabis space continues to be a challenge facing the industry
The company’s Colombian operations were not performing and corporate overhead was larger than what gross margins could sustain
On a consolidated basis, net loss for the quarter was $44.6 million, primarily due to the impact of impairment expenses of $34.9 million, loss from discontinued operations of $7.6 million and non-cash expenses of $1.2 million
We knew we had to make changes and make them quickly
Net loss for the first half of 2023 was $48.5 million, consisting substantially of impairment expenses of $34.9 million, loss from discontinued operations of $8.3 million and non-cash expenses of $2.7 million
Let me start by commenting that our results for the quarter both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis do not reflect the benefits of our reduced cost profile, which are expected to be failed in the quarters to come
