This aggressive initiative has been further spurred by the increasing favourable mainstream media attention given the medical marijuana market.  In a feature article in USAToday (April 8, 2013) entitled 'As marijuana goes legit, investors rush in', the paper reports that for the first time a majority of Americans now support legalizing marijuana, that medical marijuana sales could quadruple and that this growing market it beginning to attract mainstream investors and ancillary businesses.

"After Washington and Colorado, the pot business is, if not mainstream, at least ready to push toward it. Advocates hope to legalize personal use in another 14 states by 2017; mostly among the 16 states besides Washington and Colorado where medical pot is legal (it is also legal in Washington, D.C.," the report concludes.  "The best way to estimate the potential size of the legal market for cannabis begins with the illegal market - which is somewhere north of $18 billion a year in pot Americans consume already," said Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron.

The Company had previously announced that in anticipation of the implementation of the new growth plan and recently announced acquisition of the California-licensed Green Cannabis Collective Inc., and as a reward for the past loyalty and patience the shareholders have shown, the Board has approved a Stock Dividend that will pay all shareholders of record a 2% stock dividend. This dividend would issue each shareholder 2 new Latteno Food Corp. shares for every 100 held.  The Company is currently finalizing the formal approval process and anticipates announcing the setting of the official Record Date of this stock dividend shortly.

And based on its upgraded OTC status and as a first step in its aggressive expansion plans, the Company announced the acquisition of the California-licensed Green Cannabis Collective Inc. to further expand its medical marijuana edibles product line, distribution scope, together with enhanced research and development capabilities.  Further announcement regarding the operational integration of the two operations are pending finalization of plans.
