At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $5.1 million of cash on hand.

"Additionally, we recently won a significant bid from a national supercenter retailer as the sole supplier of 100 percent recycled ultra-premium kitchen towel and bath tissue supporting the sustainable product channel, which will be serviced out of our Barnwell facility using QRT paper. We expect this business to begin shipping in March 2019 and to make a significant contribution to the overall profitability of the company."
