SEED Innovations Ltd, the AIM-quoted company investment company providing shareholders with exposure to early-stage health, wellness, and medical cannabis companies, to which, in normal circumstances they have limited access to, is pleased to note an announcement released on the ASX by its portfolio company, Little Green Pharma Ltd ('LGP'), regarding its quarterly activities for the period ended 31 March 2024.
Highlights from LGP's Quarterly Report include:
· Record quarterly cash receipts of A$8.1 million, up over 50% on previous quarter and over 20% on previous corresponding period.
· Record quarterly revenue of A$7.3 million (unaudited), up 34% on previous quarter and over 36% on previous corresponding period.

Commenting on the announcement, Ed McDermott, CEO of Seed said: "LGP's quarterly surge in cash receipts and revenue is outstanding, highlighting its growing reputation in the medical cannabis space. Not only is LGP solidifying its foothold in Australia with increasing revenues there, but it is also expanding its presence and sales in the European markets, positioning itself to potentially capitalise on the recent cannabis legislative change in Germany. We are encouraged by this quarter's sales growth, bolstered cash reserves, and debt reduction, and look forward to further updates as the year unfolds."
