We have exciting treatments in our pipeline that are in advanced stage clinical trials, providing us with significant short-term and long-term opportunities that can act as catalysts for our business. With KCSA's guidance, we hope to highlight the ongoing development of these treatments to our shareholders and the potential value they could have upon receiving regulatory market clearance," said Dr. Roger Crystal, Chief Executive Officer of Lightlake.

"We believe our experience with other biopharmaceutical companies and subsequent success with providing an integrated communications platform makes KCSA uniquely qualified to communicate Lightlake's growth potential," said Mr. Fromer.
