Combined with an income tax expense of $11.4 million and the bump up from fair value adjustments on biological assets, the company posted a comprehensive loss of $9.7 million.
Moving to the balance sheet, the company saw its cash position climb from $8.1 million to $9.7 million, thanks largely to a net debt issuance that brought in $12.5 million to company coffers. Restricted cash meanwhile went from nil to $4.9 million, while inventory ballooned from $29.0 million to $44.4 million. Receivables meanwhile climbed from $5.1 million to $5.8 million. Total current assets overall went from $63.0 million to $92.0 million.
This significant gain however was offset by the current liability situation. The company saw its payables and accrued liabilities climb from $53.7 million to $64.1 million, posing a significant problem for the company given its current cash position. The current portion of long term debt, which is believed to have been subsequently settled via the recapitalization transaction, meanwhile rose from $146.3 million to $149.6 million. Overall, total current liabilities climbed from $208.0 million to $222.0 million.
With the advent of the recent recapitalization transaction however, it is known that the company is effectively in a different position as far as its balance sheet is concerned. For that, we’ll have to wait until the full fiscal 2020 financial results are published by the company some time in the new year.
Finally, the company also announced the resignation of the firms COO Patrick Tiernan this morning. Robert Galvin, whom was previously senior vice president and chief administrative officer for the company, will be taking the role on an interim basis.
