The TSX Venture Exchange rose a fraction to 707.32 Wednesday. Mo Fazil's first capital pool shell, Harbour Star Capital Inc. (EAST: $0.175), has completed its qualifying transaction. Today it began trading as a shell graduate, reaching an intraday high of 24 cents before closing at 17.5 cents on 1.3 million shares. Harbour Star is keeping its name for now, but it has changed its symbol to EAST from HSC. For its QT, the shell acquired a hemp products manufacturer, 1011705 B.C. Ltd., doing business as EastWest Science.

EastWest owns a 31,000-square-foot facility in Penticton. It has four product lines: Earth's Menu for hemp seeds and other hemp food products, Natural Advancement for hemp-based health supplements, Natural Pet Science for hemp-based pet food, and ChanvreHemp for hemp-based cosmetics and skin care products. The ChanvreHemp line is still in development. With all of its existing products, EastWest lost $488,876 on modest sales of $6,392 in the first quarter.
