Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB and OTCQX: RWBYF) (“RWB” or the “Company”), a multi-state cannabis operator and house of premium brands, is providing an update with respect to the filing of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the related management’s discussion and analysis, related CEO and CFO certificates and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Documents”), further to its May 31, 2021 update.
As of Friday, June 11, 2021, the Company has engaged Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (“MGO”) as the successor auditor to replace MNP LLP (“MNP”). In connection with the appointment, the Company will be concurrently filing its change of auditor package with the securities commissions to reflect the appointment of MGO as its auditor.
The Company and MGO, with the full support of MNP are working towards completing the audit and filing the Documents.
The Company is not aware of any material issue with the auditor’s review. The Company continues to work diligently and expeditiously with its auditor to finalize the Documents. The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of NP 12- 203 and will continue to issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as it remains in default of the annual filing requirements.
As previously disclosed in the May 31, 2021 update, the delay in completing the filing of the Documents was due to the Company’s auditor not completing its audit procedures in advance of the filing deadline.
