VANCOUVER, BC, — (June 26, 2020) – New Leaf Ventures Inc. (CSE: NLV) (“New Leaf,” “NLV” or the “Company”) wishes to provide an update and advisory regarding stated revenue projections. New Leaf Ventures, through its New Leaf USA subsidiaries, provides licenses, consulting services, real property, intellectual property and equipment for lease and ancillary services to a Washington-based Tier 3 Producer/Processor (the “License Holder”) focused on cultivating, growing, processing, packaging, and distributing cannabis and cannabis related products.
Management of the Company notes that due to unforeseen circumstances, including those arising in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the completion of New Leaf’s initial public offering and its acquisition of New Leaf USA (and its subsidiaries) was delayed from the timeline originally anticipated, and the initial public offering was not fully subscribed. In connection with the preparation of the Q4 2019 and Q1 2020 financial statements of New Leaf USA (and its subsidiaries) for filing as part of the Company’s business acquisition report, and a related review of the financial projections of revenue, management has determined that as a result of the foregoing, the New Leaf USA subsidiaries had not yet fully ramped up the provision of their services to the License Holder, with the effect that a shortfall in revenues generated by New Leaf USA (and its subsidiaries) from the provision of these services, and in turn, a shortfall in overall revenue for Q4 2019 and Q1 2020, is anticipated.
It is anticipated that revenues will realign as operational capacity of New Leaf USA (and its subsidiaries) catches up to the previously stated earnings projections.
