While the figures do not yet reveal sales for GearBubble and only partially display sales for Aphrodite's since February 9, 2021, they have begun to paint a powerful picture of the upward trajectory we are headed. Our next quarterly earnings report will finally show sales for all the Bergio brands while reflecting our thoughtful steps to expand manufacturing overseas, our deliberate actions towards vertical integration, and our increased eCommerce footprint to become a leading competitor in the fine jewelry retailer space. The anticipated further spike in sales will lead us into our most important quarter for the holiday season."
Berge Abajian added, "We are grateful for the seamless integration of the valuable Aphrodite's and GearBubble team members into the Bergio family. As we work together in this new exciting direction, we look forward to seeing the full scope of the magnitude of our decisions and strongly believe the stock price will reflect the progress of the financials and balance sheet."
