If the notification relates to a portion of’ the filing checked above, identify the item(s) to which the notification relates: _____________________________________________________________________

PART I REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Full Name of Registrant: MariMed Inc.

Former Name if Applicable

Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number): 10 Oceana Way

City, State and Zip Code: Norwood, Massachusetts 02062

PART 11 RULE 12b-25 (b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

[X]	(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[X]	(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form IO-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

[ ]	(c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period. The inability to meet the filing deadline was caused by the resignation of the Company’s former audit firm (the “Former Audit Firm”) in December 2018 due to the Former Audit Firm’s incapacity to rotate audit partners as required by Section 10A of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

As disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filing on this matter dated December 6, 2018, there were no disagreements with the Former Audit Firm on any matters, and no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Former Audit Firm had issued “clean” audit opinions on the Company’s financial statements.

Such late resignation by the Former Audit Form did not leave enough time for the Company’s new audit firm (the “New Audit Firm”) to plan and perform a proper year-end audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Accordingly, the New Audit Firm asked the Company to file this notification of late filing so they could complete their audit.

The Company expects to file the Form 10-K within the extension period of 15 calendar days as provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

PART IV OTHER INFORMATION

(Name)	(Area Code)	(Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

[X] Yes [ ] No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

[X] Yes [ ] No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

For the reasons stated above in Part III, the registrant cannot quantify at this time the changes in its results of operations, but believes that, as compared to the prior year, its revenues will increase and its net income will decrease, due to non-cash charges.
