Flower One Holdings Inc. (CSE: FONE) (OTCQB: FLOOF) (“Flower One” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.

Third quarter highlights:

  • Fully acquired the greenhouse and production facility, which will be Nevada’s largest such facility at 455,000 square feet when construction is completed;
  • Raised gross proceeds of approximately $57.4 million Canadian through a non-brokered private placement with accredited investors;
  • Completed the reverse takeover transaction with Theia Resources Ltd.;
  • Received cultivation and production licenses from the State of Nevada for both medical and recreational cannabis.

“This is a very exciting time for Flower One and its shareholders,” said Ken Villazor, President and CEO of Flower One. “During the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of the largest commercial greenhouse in the State of Nevada, raised over $57 million Canadian, and obtained key licenses for the cultivation and production of both medical and recreational marijuana. Since then, we have become a publicly-traded company on the Canadian Securities Exchange, obtained our OTCQB listing in the United States, including DTC eligibility, acquired a unique property zoned for mixed use, including retail, and acquired the assets of NLV Organics – which included a fully operational 25,000-square-foot cultivation and production facility in North Las Vegas, a well-branded cannabis product line, and supply relationships with over 30 dispensaries in the state.”

“We have made significant progress in a short amount of time, and we have many more exciting milestones on the near horizon,” added Mr. Villazor. “We expect to complete the conversion of our greenhouse and begin onboarding cannabis plants in the first quarter of 2019, with our first harvest expected in the second quarter of 2019. With these milestones, we will be the largest cannabis cultivator and producer in the Nevada market.”
