Vancouver, British Columbia and Denver, Colorado–(Newsfile Corp. – July 9, 2020) – Cannabis One Holdings Inc. (CSE: CBIS) (“Cannabis One“, “CBIS“, or the “Company“) is providing an update to its shareholders and investors about a halt in trading related to the late filing of the Company’s quarterly financial statements. The Company’s international footprint left it particularly vulnerable to the COVID- 19 interruptions, as its officers and directors are spread out over Canada and the United States, and these disruptions have caused certain financial information preparation delays. Cannabis One, its management, auditors and bookkeepers are currently working to finalize the statements and the Company expects to complete both the annual financials and the quarterly financials, along with the corresponding management’s discussion and analysis and certificates (the “Financial Statements“), on or about July 17, 2020. Until the Financial Statements are filed the British Columbia Securities Commission has decided to issue a Cease Trade Order (“CTO“), which is expected to be lifted once Cannabis One files the Financial Statements.

Cannabis is legal in certain States in the United States (“U.S.“), however cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal laws. Cannabis One intends to conduct its U.S. cannabis operations in a manner consistent with the applicable State laws and compliance with regulatory and licensing requirements applicable in the applicable State. However, the readers should be aware that any change in federal guidance on enforcement actions could adversely affect Cannabis One’s ability to access private and public capital required in order to support continuing operations and its ability to operate in the U.S.

Story continues

Unlike in Canada which has Federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Federal), readers are cautioned that in the U.S., cannabis is largely regulated at the State level. To the knowledge of Cannabis One, there are to date a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized cannabis in some form. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical cannabis at the State level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. and as such, cannabis-related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. Federal law. Strict compliance with State laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve Cannabis One of liability under the U.S. Federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which may be brought against Cannabis One. Any such proceedings brought against Cannabis One may materially adversely affect its operations and financial performance in the U.S. market.
