Flower One Announces Anticipated Delay in Annual Filings

Flower One Holdings Inc. ("Flower One" or the "Company") (CSE: FONE) (OTCQX: FLOOF) (FSE: F11), a leading cannabis cultivator and producer in Nevada, announces today that it anticipates a possible delay in the filing of its financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2020, the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and certificates of its CEO and CFO (collectively, the “Annual Filings”) until after the April 30, 2021 deadline.

“Our financial team is working closely with our auditors, and we look forward to completing the audit and related filings,” said Richard Groberg, Flower One's Interim CFO. "Following the completion of our 2020 filing, we will then shift our focus to reporting our Q1 2021 results as quickly as possible. Our team has made tremendous progress over a very short period of time making it possible for Flower One to ramp up to meet rapidly-accelerating demand in Nevada, as the state has already reported all-time record highs for January 2021.”

The additional time is required to permit the Company’s auditors, MNP LLP, to complete its review and enquiries in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements. The delay is also in part attributable to (i) logistical challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020 calendar year, which prevented the Company’s former CEO and CFO from working at the Company’s Las Vegas office for most of 2020, (ii) recent changes to the Company’s executive management group and board of directors, and (iii) significant subsequent event reporting related to Company’s recent financing and debt restructuring initiatives. The Company and its auditors are working diligently, and the Company intends to make the Annual Filings as soon as possible and it expects to make these filings by no later than May 28, 2021.

In connection with this anticipated delay, the Company has applied for a customary management cease trade order (the “MCTO”) relating to the trading by the Company’s CEO and CFO in securities of the Company from the Ontario Securities Commission, the Company’s principal regulator in Canada. If granted, the MCTO should not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade in the securities of the Company.

If the MCTO is granted, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders by providing bi-weekly updates by way of press release until the Annual Filings have been made.

In the interim, until Annual Filings are submitted, management and other insiders of the Company are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
