Risks:Â High
The risks of investing in any cannabis company are currently high given the newness of the market. The risks of investing in this company are sky-high given the lack of products and amazingly high outstanding shares.
Recommendation:Â Weak
Cannabis Science is aiming to be a pioneering biotech company by creating cannabinoid-based extract formulations for many different medical conditions in addition to more than 8 different types of cancer.
They aim to derive earnings from each of these individual formulations. The potential sources are combined with additional profit centers including nutraceutical products, educational models and strategic partnerships with MedBox®Solutions.
Cannabis Science is in the process of increasing its future capacity of CBD production to 1,000 kilograms per month of Purified High CBD and CBDA Water-Soluble Extracts and Powders.
However, besides all the good news, Cannabis Science announced that legal action by San Joaquin County, California has impacted their business dramatically as their hemp crop was seized. Cannabis Science intends to take legal action which will cost them well over $500,000 in legal fees and expenses.
Will it’s stock price improve in the long term? Nope!
Cannabis Science did not publish any quarterly or annual financial reports since 2016 which led to the suspension of their stock trading in September 2019. They have announced three possible courses of action in the near future.
The first option is to continue to fully report and file outstanding quarterly as well as annual financial statements for 2017 and 2018. Their second choice is to de-list as a fully reporting company and change their status into ‘non-reporting issuer status’ and then file all outstanding un-audited financial statements. A third option is a buyout of Cannabis Science by a newly public company via share exchange to existing shareholders with shared in acquiring the company.
For these reasons, we think Cannabis Science, even at its current price of $0.01 a share, is still a very risky investment opportunity—though as they resolve the issues with regulatory authorities then opportunities can appear. We are cautiously pessimistic about its chances.
