“As planned, we continue to ramp up our sales as demonstrated by our organic revenue growth. In recent month, we completed the acquisition of Toronto M30 on September 15th, and we successfully launched the eValue v2.0, our leading product to ensure the penetration of international markets. These investments produced an operating loss in the short term despite overall profitability of each contract. The company-s balance sheet has improved significantly over the last 12 months and accounting loss is essentially the predictable result of the implementation of our growth strategy” stated Parta-s CEO, Paul Allard.
