Party Bus Legislation Advances

A bill is moving forward that would outlaw smoking and vaping in commercial vehicles unless the driver has separate ventilation.

“Much like tours for wineries and breweries, cannabis party buses have sprouted all over California, and a bill designed to rein in the festivities could soon become law. Senate Bill 625, introduced by State Senator Jerry Hill in February, was approved by the California State Assembly’s Appropriations Committee on Wednesday.

The bill, if implemented, would bar passengers from smoking or vaping cannabis products in buses, limousines, and taxicabs, with an exception for limousines and buses whose passenger and driver compartments are completely sealed off and separately ventilated. The bill would also prohibit anyone under twenty-one from being on board in the presence of cannabis smoke.”

Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) continues to see its troubles compounded following the recent scandal involving the company’s founder and former CEO Sean Dollinger. On Wednesday the company confirmed that its auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP resigned and will no longer be acting as the company’s auditor. Namaste said it was in advanced discussions with potential successor auditors, one of whom is in the final stages of its client acceptance process.

As a result of this situation, the company said it would probably be unable to file its financial statements that are due by March 31, 2019.

Irregular Advertising in Brazil

Namaste also noted that the National Heath Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) in Brazil advised the company that it has identified irregular online advertising of certain tobacco products on a website operated by Namaste and have advised that they are proposing to commence administrative proceedings in relation to same. As a result, Namaste is “temporarily suspending the sale of all of its products in Brazil pending a full compliance review with external counsel and other advisors. Sales of such products in Brazil are expected to represent approximately 8% of Namaste’s estimated revenue globally for the 15 months ended November 30, 2018.”

Suspension of Businesses

Namaste said it was reviewing all of its initiatives and as a result decided to let some of them go. These include the introduction of Namaste Café, a cook book and the H.E.A.L. product line in relation to its previously announced franchise distribution model. In addition, Namaste said it has “provided formal written notice of the termination of its agreement with ORH Marketing Ltd., in accordance with its terms. Management believes that the termination of these marketing and related initiatives can be achieved with minimal business disruption, and is expected to result in annual cash savings of approximately $3 million, which is net of expected transition costs.”

Acquisition

Somehow, in the middle of all this corporate mess, Namaste announced that it was acquiring 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Calgary, AB-based Choklat Inc. for $1.5 million in cash.

According to the statement, Choklat is a chocolate manufacturer with existing sales through its online eCommerce site and through a network of distributors across Canada. Choklat has recently entered into a supply relationship with Sobeys and already has product in 25 stores in Alberta with a goal to roll out in Western Canada and beyond in the coming months. As part of the acquisition, Namaste will be appointing a member to the Board of Choklat.

“Choklat is a great acquisition for us with a vast offering of existing products that can be easily infused with THC or CBD and sold as edibles,” said Meni Morim, Interim CEO of Namaste Technologies Inc. “Their small batch manufacturing model is a great fit within the new proposed regulations for edible cannabis products. This transaction provides the security of supply and manufacturing for our medicinal cannabis customers and provides capacity for the recreational market in the event proposed regulations are passed.”

“Almost two years ago I used my own prescription to personally research the concept of infusing chocolate and sugar with cannabis,” said Brad Churchill, Choklat Founder, and CEO. “As one of the only chocolate makers in Canada I had access to equipment and processes that other chocolatiers and confectioners don’t have. My research led me to discoveries which, when legal, will allow us to infuse both THC and CBD into chocolate and sugar in such a way that there is absolutely no discernible “weed” flavour or smell, and with a dosage accuracy that is almost pharmaceutical grade.”

Special Committee Investigation

Namaste came under a short seller attack by Citron Research in October 2018 which caused the board to form a Special Committee to investigate the allegations. The only one that was substantiated and required action according to the company was related to the sale of Namaste’s US subsidiary, Dollinger Enterprises US Inc., in 2017, and subsequent transactions involving its assets and companies in which Sean Dollinger and Namaste’s head of marketing David Hughes have a beneficial interest, as well as breaches of fiduciary duty by Sean Dollinger and evidence of self-dealing. The company said it is also taking legal action against Dollinger for damages and disgorgement.
Citron Accusations
Citron accused Namaste in saying it was planning on listing on NASDAQ in order to bring in investors. “Fake claim of a Nasdaq Listing to get investors to buy the stock. Mr. Dollinger has promised investors a Nasdaq listing and the simple takeaway that comes with it, a higher share price on the back of an up-listing.”

Next, it claimed there was an issue with the sale of Dollinger Enterprises US, which it seems turned out to be true. “With the hope of obtaining the NASDAQ listing on Nov 28, 2017, Namaste announced that it divested of its US assets, Dollinger Enterprises US Inc. Just to be clear, Dollinger said he sold this asset to an arm’s length party… but it was really sold to David Hughes who has been with Namaste since Feb 2015 (and Paul Burn who has been with Namaste since 2016) – can investors trust anything Dollinger says going forward? Namaste has lied to its shareholders, Canadian Regulators, US Regulators; and most of all has attempted to hide US assets from the Justice Department in an attempt to obtain a US listing.”

The report went on to say, “And just in case you say…NOOOO this can’t be our CEO who would do this…just
remember this is the same guy who just three years ago raised money based on the underlying promise of guaranteed returns…the SEC would have nailed him for this but he was living in the Bahamas.”

Strategic Review Process Initiated

The company also stated that the board had initiated a formal strategic review process to consider all value-maximizing alternatives, which could include exploring a potential corporate transaction that may, but not necessarily, result in the sale of the company. “We are in the process of engaging an investment bank to advise a Special Committee of the Board overseeing the process,” read the statement.

The company went on to state, “Namaste remains in a strong financial position, with cash balances intact, and will continue to execute on its unique and effective business strategy.”

Citron has suggested that the company’s real valuation should be $0.26 a share and the company is currently trading at $1.04.
Sexy Nurses
Things started to go downhill for Namaste in September of 2018 when the company held a “pledge party” stockholders who promised not to sell company shares for 90 days. The party featured women dressed as sexy nurses to sign up patients for its telemedicine portal. The party though was in Quebec which bans telemedicine. Tilray (TLRY) had just signed an agreement with the company but immediately terminated it upon hearing about the party and the promotional activities.
