 the result of sourcing larger bulbs, that have a longer shelf life than imported stems. Growing tulip stems domestically allows for higher margins because the freight costs for importing bulbs by sea have been substantially less than the costs associated with importing stems by air. Additionally, the Company pays less in tariffs importing bulbs versus fully grown stems.

In the Netherlands, Bloomia’s office facilitates the sourcing of bulbs, conditioning to prepare bulbs for planting, and shipping of bulbs to its United States and South Africa facilities.

In South Africa, Bloomia’s wholly owned subsidiary operates a greenhouse that has produced an average of approximately 3.5 million tulip stems per year over the last five years. The facility is capable of growing tulips hydroponically year-round and sells the majority of tulip stems to one large retailer.

In Chile, Bloomia has a minority ownership interest in Araucania Flowers S.A. (“Araucania”). The operation grows tulips hydroponically year-round. Araucania traditionally sells to retailers located in Chile and Brazil.

The tulip sales business tends to be seasonal with spring being the strongest sales season. Accounts receivable and inventory balances are at their lowest levels in the summer following the strong spring sales season. Inventory balances peak prior to the spring season.
