ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

Audit update: Gala Pharmaceutical Inc., (the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) because the Company has experienced unexpected delays in its completion of the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, due to the complexity and significant scope of work required to account for certain transactions and related tax accounting. As a result, the Company requires additional time to finalize its financial statements to be filed as part of the 2018 Form 10-K, and plans to file its Form 2018 10-K within the next 14 days.

Testing License Update: Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. had submitted an application to the city of Long Beach for cannabis testing laboratory license. While Gala was pursuing to receive its building permit to build a cannabis testing laboratory, the city advised Gala to apply for State application for licensing. Gala applied for State license in and received state license on December 10, 2018. Soon after receiving the license the state official contacted Gala for a facility tour. Such official had the impression that that the lab was already built. However the lab was not build because Gala was still waiting on city of Long Beach to issue build out permits. The state officials requested to surrender the state license voluntarily as a formality and re-apply for permanent state license once the labs is completely build out. Since then Gala received the building permit from the City of Long Beach and has started the build-out which is scheduled to be completed by May 19, 2019. Gala intends to resubmit the state application shortly.
