The Company’s healthcare division which transports seniors and disabled communities is continuing to be affected by COVID-19, and as result the Company has stopped taking internal bookings due to insufficient travellers, however Orcoda continues to provide vehicles and drivers to Transitcare and will continue to work with them to jointly grow the business. The Company’s SaaS platform for Healthcare has continued to achieve good performance during Quarter, with bids currently being reviewed for potential contracts, and if achieved have the potential to provide a solid increase in revenues.

Over the Quarter, the division has bid on several large infrastructure projects and the Company looks forward to updating the market. The ability for Betta and Orcoda to bid jointly on major projects will significantly increase the Company’s chances of winning these projects.
