Management Commentary
“The shifting of our business model from wholesale (B2B) model via a distributor to a direct retail model is beginning to bear fruit as previously mentioned during prior conference calls. During the current quarter we included our retail Asian operations of approximately $600 thousand in gross revenues as we are continuing to open new Spa locations in both Europe and Asia during the next quarter and in the remainder of our financial year. Sales in all our Spa locations continue to exceed our expectations as sales continue to climb,” said Guy De Vreese the CEO of Remedent.
