Comment from Pontus Engström, CEO
"We express our sincere gratitude to our shareholders for providing us with the necessary capital to fuel our continued growth. With the capital raised we will be investing approximately SEK 1.3 million (equivalent to USD 125,000) in the booming hotel industry in Zanzibar, in a hotel management company, and the remaining funds will be invested in a joint venture that we expect to disrupt the rice bran grading process in Tanzania with cutting-edge agricultural machinery. Both ventures are expected to yield immediate term positive cash flows."
