With these sales, the company is able to make healthy margins in excess of 40%. It has sales in North America and recently adding several international markets in Europe, the Middle East and Russia which has it on track to reach $15,000,000 in sales.

We are very excited to be entering into this Agreement with Easton. With the support of Easton’s management, we will be able to continue our success and rapidly expand our sales internationally and launch our consumer health products through our e-liquids” stated iBliss President, Hung Tran.

Under this acquisition, iBliss will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Easton Pharmaceuticals and will be separate from its other business segments such it’s woman’s diagnostics, treatment and natural health products. After all, Easton Pharmaceuticals has a distribution agreement with multi-national pharmaceutical company Gedeon Richter and its Mexican subsidiary company Gedeon Richter Mexico S.A.P.I. de C.V. The companies are still expected to iron out more details of the acquisition in the coming weeks but the letter of intent marks the first step in their partnership.

Shares of Easton Pharmaceuticals have been on a tear since October last year, as volumes and investor interest picked up. This marked a strong upside breakout from the consolidation for the most part of the year before the bullish run ensued. For now, though, price could still make a pullback to the nearby $0.03 mark before heading further north.
