CanaFarma Hemp Products Corp. Provides Update on Management Cease Trade Order

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2020 / CanaFarma Hemp Products Corp. (CSE:CNFA) (the “Company“) is providing this biweekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203“).

Further to its press release dated October 19, 2020 and October 29, 2020, the Company has not yet filed its audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020, the related management’s discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certifications (the “Annual Filings“), which were required to be filed on October 28, 2020. The British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC“) has accepted the Company’s request for, and the BCSC has granted, a management cease trade order (the “MCTO“) against the Company’s chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer on October 29, 2020 in respect of the Annual Filings. The MCTO extended the filing deadline for the Annual Filings to December 28, 2020.

The Company also announces today that as a result of the restrictions and cross-border issues that continue due to COVID-19 and the Company’s change of auditor, as announced on November 10, 2020, it is likely that the Company may experience further delays in making the Annual Filings and consequently the Company anticipates delays in filing its unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the related management’s discussion and analysis and officer certifications (the “Q1 Filings“) by the deadline set forth in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

As a result of the anticipated delay in filing the Annual Filings and the Q1 Filings, the Company has applied to the BCSC for an extension of the MCTO.

Pursuant to the requirements of section 10 of National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (the “Alternative Information Guidelines“), the Company reports the following:

1. There have been no material changes to the information contained in the press release announcing the application for the MCTO on October 19, 2020 that have not been disclosed by the Company through press releases filed on SEDAR;
2. There has not been any failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines;
3. There has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the failure of the Company to file the Annual Filings and the Q1 Filings; and
4. There is no other material information about the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines for so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out herein.
