Each of TOP and Sonoma Pac is a wholly owned subsidiary of GABY. Each of TOP and Sonoma Pac owns a cannabis license in California. Unlike in Canada which has Federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of medical cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Federal), readers are cautioned that in the U.S., cannabis is largely regulated at the State level. Cannabis is legal in the State of California however cannabis remains illegal under United States ("U.S.") federal laws. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of cannabis at the State level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. and as such, cannabis-related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. Federal law. Each of TOP's and Sonoma Pac's business is conducted in a manner consistent with the State law of California and is in compliance with regulatory and licensing requirements applicable in the State of California. However, readers are cautioned that strict compliance with State laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve GABY, TOP or Sonoma Pac of liability under the U.S. Federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which could be brought against any of GABY, TOP, or Sonoma Pac. Any such proceedings brought against GABY, TOP, or Sonoma Pac may materially adversely affect its operations and financial performance in the U.S. market.
