(CSE: NBUD) (OTCQB: NOBDF) (“NORTHBUD” or the “Company“) announces that its annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019, including the related management discussion and analysis, and CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “Annual Financial Filings”) are not expected to be filed by the required filing deadline of March 30, 2020 (the “Filing Deadline”).The Annual Financial Filings are not expected to be filed on or before the Filing Deadline due to the two recently completed acquisitions in the United States.  The Company acquired two businesses, one in Nevada and one in California, shortly before the most recently completed year-end, namely, November 30, 2019.  The two businesses are private and did not have financial statements and related disclosures prepared in a manner consistent with the requirements of a publicly-listed entity.  Accordingly, the Company has been working diligently with accounting teams to prepare the necessary statements for consolidation and audit with the Company’s Canadian audit firm.  As a result, the auditors need more time to complete the audit.The Company is working on the steps required to complete the Annual Financial Filings as soon as possible and expects to be able to file the Annual Financial Filings by May 29, 2020.  The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Financial Filings becomes available.The Company has applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities for a management cease trade order (“MCTO”) to be imposed against all the directors and officers of the Company precluding them from trading securities of the Company.  If granted, the MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, and will require that the Annual Financial Filings be filed on or before May 29, 2020.Until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, the Company intends to issue bi-weekly default status reports in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders.  The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines during the period it remains in default of the filing requirements. The Company confirms that there is no other material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.About North Bud Farms Inc.
