Timing of Filing of Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year ended December 31, 2019

The Registrant will be relying on the order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2020 providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

Restrictions on access to the Registrant’s facilities have resulted in delays by the Registrant in the preparation of its financial statements. This has hampered the ability of the Registrant to complete its financial statements and prepare the Annual Report in time to be filed by the original due date of April 30, 2020.  The Registrant expects, in reliance on the Order, to file the Annual Report with the SEC no later than June 14, 2020.

 The Company supplements its disclosure with the following risk factor, which will also be included in the Annual Report:

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may have a significant impact on our operations since January 2020 and could materially adversely affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the 2020 fiscal year and beyond.

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China, and thereafter spread to the United States. Our ability to grow, manufacture, or sell our products (both at wholesale and retail) may be damaged or disrupted due to COVID-19. This damage or disruption could result from events or factors that are impossible to predict or are beyond our control, such as government shutdowns, increase in COVID-19 cases, scarcity of personal protective equipment, disruptions at any of our major vendors or service providers, or other events resulting from COVID-19. Critically, our continued operations are dependent on being designated as “essential” businesses, or such similar government designation, which allows our facilities and/or stores to operate during the heightened public health response to COVID-19.

Our facilities and stores in all jurisdictions in which we operate remain operational, but this could change without warning by government action. We have implemented work-from-home procedures and have complied with government public health mandates with respect to our operations in order to attempt to lessen the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Our operating partners in the State of Washington, which lease our cultivation and/or manufacturing facilities, also remain operational and have implemented similar health mandates, such as temperature checks for employees.

In the first stages of public stay-at-home and similar orders, we experienced sales increases. However, we cannot and do not know if this will continue or if (i) continued COVID-19 prevalence, (ii) a protracted economic slowdown negatively affecting the financial condition of our customers, or (iii) continued or modified public health measures may eventually lead to reduced sales and revenue or cessation of operations. Further, any sustained disruption in the capital markets from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to raise capital. In light of this, COVID-19 could adversely affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the year 2020.

Chinese economic downturn or growth slowdown may harm our business by negatively impacting planned infrastructure projects.

Our business operations involve the sourcing of many critical components from China, including components necessary for planned infrastructure and other projects, including the Company’s planned infrastructure projects in Massachusetts, Illinois, and California. Office closings, travel restrictions and required quarantines implemented in China as a result of COVID-19 have caused significant slowdown of China’s production capacity, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to source such products and therefore have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If China’s production capacity continues to slow down or go into recession, we may be required to locate a new source for components or delay our planned infrastructure projects which could adversely impact our operation results.
