Looking ahead, Aurora said the introduction of new product formats in the Canadian market this fall represents a significant opportunity.
"Aurora expects to have a robust product line-up ready to launch in December. Given the very early stage of development of the consumer market in Canada and international medical markets, management anticipates that quarter-to-quarter sales volumes and revenues may be volatile."
