We have generated revenues since the second quarter of 2020. Between August 2021 and March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state-of-the-art distillation machine that cleared customs and is currently located in a warehouse near Bogotá. We intend to build out an extraction and production facility in the INTEXZONA free trade zone in Cota, Colombia free trade zone near Bogotá and in close proximity to El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá after we execute a lease for this location. Once the extraction equipment is placed in service, we will be one of the few companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils.

Due to challenging economic conditions and under prior management, OWP SAS experienced significant operational and managerial challenges in 2022 and 2023, resulting its accumulation of financial obligations of approximately $1.2 million, which are substantially past due. Without adequate resources and in an effort to forestall the imposition of interest, late charges, fines and any Court-mandated order(s) to cease operations, OWP SAS filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) (“Reorganization Proceedings”) in Colombia on December 22, 2023. During the Reorganization Proceeding, management intends to satisfy OWP SAS’s continuing financial obligations through the negotiation and/or settlement with creditors and the Colombian governmental authorities. Subject to Court approval, the Company intends to continue normal operations, which consists of providing cannabinoids in bulk for the domestic and international markets, including the raw material for our brands and affiliate companies. At this time, the Company cannot predict the length of time of the Reorganization Proceeding. The Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS, as well as the Company’s non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S., given the lack of independently identifiable operations.
