West Palm Beach, FL, June 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Ethema Health Corporation (OTCPINK: GRST) (“Ethema” “GRST” or the “Company”) is reporting to shareholders on the status of its financial reports and certain initiatives previously reported in press releases and filings.
In an 8-K/A filed on April 9, 2020, the Company reported that it would be late in filing its 10-K annual report and its 10-Q quarterly report, and reported that it expected to report these on May 14, 2020 and June 26, 2020 respectively. The 10-K was not filed by May 14, 2020 due to both the Company key employees and members of the Auditing firm being affected by travel and work restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company further reported in its press release dated June 16, 2020 that it expected to file the 10-K in 7-10 days.

The Company previously reported that it was completing a financing and an acquisition of a company that would give Ethema a new treatment center location in West Palm Beach, Florida. The documentation involved in completing the financing and the acquisition has taken much longer than expected, however the Company has been making progress. The Company has received an initial tranche of the financing and certain funds have been advanced to the target company for opening preparations to the target company’s leased facility. The Company is doing everything it can to complete the financing and the acquisition in a timely manner. There continues to be strong demand for addiction and mental health services in the market.
The Company focus on its filings and its financing and acquisition has delayed its anticipated closing date for the acquisition of an initial 25% ownership stake in Biohazard Health Services LLC (“BHS”). The Company announced on June 16, 2020 that it expected to close this deal by the end of the June. The Company expects that to be delayed.

The Company continues to discuss potential acquisitions with other addiction treatment companies and has previously reported that there have not been any concrete developments in those discussions. The Company moved its administrative offices in late January after leaving its former facility in West Palm Beach. The Company rents space from another addiction treatment company called Royal Life Centers (“Royal”).
