BONSALL, CA--(March 28, 2017) - MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA ("MCOA" or the "Company") (OTC: MCOA), an innovative cannabis and hemp marketing and distribution Company, is pleased to announce that its PCAOB auditors have completed a two year audit of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

MCOA’s SEC legal counsel is now finalizing a Form 10 registration statement for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After the registration statement becomes effective, and the Company’s common stock is registered with the Commission, the Company will apply to uplist its trading tier with OTC Markets to the OTCQB exchange. Completing the two year audit is an integral step in successfully filing a Form 10 registration statement. This significant step has been completed to enhance long-term shareholder value, and attract a broader and more diverse shareholder base, including more institutional investors. 

Donald Steinberg, MCOA President and CEO said, "Our goal is to meet the requirements to be a fully reporting company.  This is in-line with our business plan to move to a higher level stock exchange.  As we continue to grow within our industry, achieving the highest level of transparency for our current and future shareholders is of paramount importance to us.  With the audit completed, we are well on our way to becoming fully reporting and offering more transparency to investors and shareholders."
