Momentous Holdings Corp. (Ticker: MMNT) herein after “Momentous” and/or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update with regards to its development strategy and planned operational activity during the global pandemic.
Following the merger to become a publicly traded company, the Company has subsequently completed its first annual audit as a combined entity. The audit entailed the adoption of several new accounting practices including reverse merger and predecessor/successor accounting.
The Company is now focused on meeting our set objectives for 2020. Predominantly, we plan to continue with an up-scaled version of our current business model, which has allowed us to generate growing revenues over the years since our inception. With the global spirits market valued at $617.8 billion*, we believe that we will be able to increase our share of the sector over the coming months and years.
Andrew Eddy, CEO, noted “I am pleased to have completed the audit process, the vast scale of the requirements for the audit work exceeded the total staffing at the Company, due to the large number of transactions from the distillery prior to our merger. Going forwards, I am pleased to say that the process will not be as onerous and we have strengthened our internal accounting, compliance and reporting departments. Thankfully our capital raising efforts have been met with success during the past few months which gives us added confidence that investors and consumers see real value in our product line.”
The Company is also taking operational considerations during this period as a result of the COVID-19 derived restrictions. Max Chater, our Chief Distiller, is currently in a personal isolation phase which is to enable him to continue to run operations and the distillery at a minimally reduced capacity. The distillery has undergone an additional deep clean and all other workers have been sent home - with the cessation of all tours and masterclasses at our distillery for the time being. Sales are directed through both online and contactless transactions, with deliveries setup to allow for non-contact collections.
Max Chater, Chief Distiller, said “These are unprecedented times for the Company. We do however have infrastructure in place to provide our products through safe online delivery which is allowing our customers to continue to enjoy our products at their homes. We have also created our own hand sanitizers and hand balm which we supply free of charge to our customers as our little part in the effort against COVID-19.”
To date, the product range consists of Victory Gin, Victory Bitter, Victory Vodka, Victory Pink and Victory Negroni (Ready-To-Drink Cocktail). Outlined below are some strategies that Management wish to implement in order to boost shareholder value for the coming fiscal year.
