Effective September 17, 2019, CannaKorp entered into a Purchase, Licensing and Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with Nabis Arizona Property LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona (“Nabis”) concerning the distribution of CannaKorp's Wisp (TM) Vaporizer and Wisp (TM) Pods in Arizona. The term of the Agreement is three (3) years with automatic renewals for additional one-year periods unless the Agreement is terminated under its terms.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the equipment to Nabis has been shipped and the Company has provided Nabis an additional 360 days before invoicing Nabis for the equipment. Once when the additional period has passed, the Company will invoice Nabis.

During the year ended, December 31, 2020, due to financial strain and difficulties during the pandemic Nabis was forced to restructure its company in its entirety. This has caused strain on the financial position of Nabis and has affected their ability to fulfill their commitments in the agreement signed with CannaKorp.

The Company does not have any operations, employees or corporate offices based in the United States.

Going Concern and Management Plans

The Company has earned minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had a working capital deficit of $3,734,835 and an accumulated deficit of $28,399,788 as of June 30, 2021. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern up to at least 12 months from the balance sheet date; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

To maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or the sale of its equity. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.
