PrestoDoctor reported $1,602,599 revenues in those nine months ended September 30, 2020.GK Manufacturing and Packaging subsidiary was in the start-up phase for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Revenue and operating efficiencies were impacted by the pandemic, as was the learning curve required for the labor force to become familiar with the manufacturing equipment, the cost of moving into a new facility, and the need to build a backlog of customer orders to streamline the production process.
