The results are encouraging considering that the company had lost almost one full quarter of operations.

We are hopeful that with governments' constant endeavour in controlling the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts towards maintaining the momentum in economic activity, the impetus in our operations is likely to continue."
