Forward Looking Statements

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. All statements contained in this Annual Report other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations. The words “may,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “potential,” or the negative of those terms and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All of these forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at this time, and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements. Actual results could differ from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those identified in “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere. We urge you to review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report, and those detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that attempt to advise you of the risks and factors that may affect our future results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, our ability to make good decisions about the deployment of capital, our substantial capital requirements and absence of liquidity, competition, our inability to obtain maximum value for our holdings, our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, our ability to execute our strategy, market valuations in sectors in which we operate, our need to manage our assets, and risks associated with our assets and their performance, including the fact that most have a limited history and a history of operating losses, face intense competition and may never be profitable, the effect of economic conditions in the business sectors in which our partner companies operate, compliance with government regulation and legal liabilities.” Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or to persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report might not occur.

 

JOBS Act

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. Pursuant to these provisions:    

 

 

·

we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act);

 

 

 

 

·

we have (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or until such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company.

 

We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of public float (3) the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities held by non-affiliates; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies.

Item 1. Business

 

Company Overview

 

1606 Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 as a spin-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. We started by offering a tobacco- and nicotine-free smoking alternative called “1606 Original Hemp.” We started to sell hemp, aroma-free cigarettes, first by reselling the star brand, and eventually our own brand called “TRUZ.” The brands expanded to include “Singlez,” an individually packeted version of the TRUZ hemp cigarettes. This business has been discontinued.

 

In August of 2023, we decided to use our knowledge of the cannabidiol (“CBD”) industry to move into AI chatbots specifically made for the CBD industry. We partnered with ARXT Labs to create a proprietary Chatbot using AI to answer customer questions and recommend a product based on their answers and preferences. We then signed a distribution contract with Cool Blue Distribution to sell the service to CBD companies as well as offer their CBD expertise through Cool Blue’s owner, Don Flanagan. In late 2023, we debuted our first chat bot, “chatCBDW by CBDW AI,” and began signing up customers to test and implement the bot on their CBD websites.  

 

With our corporate headquarters located in Phoenix, Arizona, our executive team experienced in CBD products, and our board’s knowledge of the technology and AI spaces, we believe we are positioned to become the market leader for AI Bot technology.

 

We also see the future potential for our chatbot technology to expand beyond the CBD industry to any industry with issues with consumer questions and indecisive over product choices. This includes the solar, beauty, and auto parts industries among many others.

 

Distribution

 

We are focused on signing business to use our chatbot with a monthly recuring licensing fee model. Through a combination of our website, online ads, and email campaigns targeted towards CBD brands and retailers, we have cultivated considerable interest in our company and our AI chatbot technology. 

 

We are also using independent sales organizations (“ISOs”) to sell the chatbot or include it in a package deal with their products. These ISOs include but are not limited to CBD distributors, website designers and builders, and payment processing services within and outside the CBD industry.

 

Our Strategy

 

The global artificial intelligence market has seen remarkable growth, valued at $428 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $2.25 trillion by 2030. With a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) ranging from 33.2% to 38.1%, AI's global impact is undeniable, with as many as 97 million individuals expected to work in the AI sector by 2025, according to fortunebusinessinsights.com.1

 

The global CBD market is positioned for exponential growth, and e-commerce is at the heart of this expansion. By tailoring our chat bots to serve this niche, we believe we are well-poised to capitalize on this extraordinary growth trajectory. Our chatbots will empower both our shareholders and business partners to thrive in an ever-expanding market. The global CBD market size was valued at $6.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2023 to 2030.2

 

We plan to contract with retailers and brands using a monthly licensing model. Our licensing model is designed with businesses in mind. It allows companies, particularly those in the CBD industry, to integrate our chatbots into their platforms seamlessly. This approach not only reduces the development burden on businesses but also expedites the deployment of AI-driven solutions, enhancing customer experiences without requiring extensive resources. 

 

Products

 

We develop AI chatbot’s that are specifically designed to the industry and products for a retailer or brands. The bot is trained on industry specific questions and answers to give the most accurate information to costumers’ inquiries in a conversational and natural style. The bot is also uploaded with the ability to recommend products by using the conversation and costumers input to drive to a tailed product recommendation. The chatbot is tailored to the CBD industry currently but can be programmed to accommodate any consumer facing industry.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that our competitive strengths lie in three key areas:

 

Deep Expertise in AI

 

We boast a team of AI experts on the board and in the communications team, who have a combined 115 years of technology and tech project development experience. The team we have assembled consists of experts in every field including technology development, management, marketing and communications.

 

Industry Focus

 

Our technology is adaptable to various sectors such as CBD, solar, auto parts, health and beauty, and vitamins, for example.

 

Strong IP Portfolio

 

We own the intellectual property, ensuring long-term competitiveness and protecting our innovations.

 

Government Regulation

 

Governments and other international organizations in various jurisdictions around the world (such as the legislative and regulatory institutions of the European Union) are adopting new laws, regulations and guidelines addressing data privacy and protection, including the processing (collection, storage, use, etc.) of personal information, cyber security, breach notification, risk management and reporting. These laws, regulations and guidelines may be inconsistent across jurisdictions and are subject to evolving and differing (sometimes conflicting) interpretations. In some cases, different sets of data privacy laws and regulations, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Directive (“GDPR”), Israeli Privacy Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Israeli Privacy Law”), local laws and regulations and certain state laws in the U.S. on privacy, data and related technologies, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), also govern the processing of personal information. Additionally, new state privacy laws may also apply.

 

Employees

 

We have two full-time employees, which includes our Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Lambrecht, and our Vice President, Austen Lambrecht. We retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not have any part-time employees but we work with several consultants.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal offices are located at 2425 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 150, Phoenix, AZ, 85016. Our main telephone number is (602) 481-1544. Our website address is www.cbdw.ai. We have not incorporated by reference into this report the information that can be accessed through our website and you should not consider it to be part of this report.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

Item1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

The Company is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act (§240.12b-2 of this chapter), nor is it a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act (§230.405 of this chapter), and as such is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

 

For purposes of this section:

 

“Cybersecurity incident” means an unauthorized occurrence, or a series of related unauthorized occurrences, on or conducted through our information systems that jeopardizes the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.

 

 
5

Table of Contents

 

“Cybersecurity threat” means any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.

 

“Information systems” means electronic information resources, owned or used by us, including physical or virtual infrastructure controlled by such information resources, or components thereof, organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of our information to maintain or support our operations.

 

Risk Management and Strategy

 

We monitor our websites and online accounts frequently to manage risks associated with cyber-security risks. Our website is monitored by a third party to check if the website or email server is secure. Our webmaster informs us of any issues that may arise in the cyber sector. We are prepared to inform all parties necessary if any breach of cyber-security were to happen. We have never had this problem and so we have never had to inform consultants, auditors, or other third parties.

 

We have never had a breach of cyber-security at any point in our past. The risk to us of cybersecurity threats is in data storage of customer questions and emails. A breach of customers data could negatively materially affect our public trust and could result in loss of customers and revenue.

 

Governance

 

Our board of directors has no specific processes for monitoring cybersecurity within the company. There is no subcommittee specifically for monitoring cybersecurity in the company.

 

Our management monitors our websites and online accounts frequently to manage risks associated with cyber-security risks. Our management has more than 20 years of experience working in the technology industry, which enables it to identify cybersecurity risks associated with the Company. Our management communicates with our board on matters of cybersecurity but, has not had to inform them of any breaches thus far.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

The Company leases approximately 100 square feet of office space at 2425 E. Camelback Road, Suite 150, Phoenix, AZ 85016, at a monthly base rent of $580. The lease is on a month-to-month basis.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time-to-time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

Market Information

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets, which is sponsored by OTC Markets Group, Inc. The OTC Markets is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. Our shares are quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “CBDW.” Our Common Stock began trading in January 2023.

 

The table below sets forth for the periods indicated the quarterly high and low bid prices as reported by OTC Markets. Limited trading volume has occurred during these periods.

Our common stock is considered to be penny stock under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.

  

Holders

 

The number of shareholders of record of the Company's common stock as of April 15, 2024 was approximately 65,356,177.

In addition, there were 56,322,598 shares of our Class A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which were held by eight record holders. Lastly, there were 90 shares of our Class B Super Voting Preferred Stock outstanding, which were held by two record holders.

 

Dividends

 

We have never paid cash dividends on any of our capital stock and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 and spun-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. Management believes the assumptions made to carve out the Company’s underlying standalone financial statements from the consolidated Singlepoint results prior to the April 2021 spin-off are reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial statements may not include all the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone company during the period prior to the spin-off. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas.

 

In August 2023, we achieved our goal of creating a chatbot using AI technology to be placed on CBD retailers’ and brands’ websites. This chatbot is able to answer questions specifically tailored to the CBD industry and can be trained on client specific questions as well as trained to accommodate other industries. In addition to the ability to answer questions, the bot can use answers and customer feedback to recommend a product from the list uploaded by the client.

 

On August 17, 2023, we engaged AR XTLabs to help in development of an AI chatbot specifically designed for the CBD industry. The chatbot offers CBD and wellness merchants the ability to increase sales by providing product recommendations, track user behavior for inventory management, and ChatCBDW can also provide information on products and education around the clock. Our bot was built on Microsoft Azure by AR XTLabs, a state-of-the-art development company in the AI space. ChatCBDW is a proprietary bot fully integrated with ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. This integration equips ChatCBDW with natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning capabilities, allowing lifelike conversations and intelligent product recommendations. It's designed to drive sales, educate audiences on products, and provide analytics on customer preferences and behavior, contributing to inventory management. The chat technology is enhanced through a patent possible process that tailors product recommendations to merchant specifications.

 

In September 2023, we partnered with Cool Blue Distribution, a leading CBD distributor, to better expand our CBD expertise and gain access hundreds of retailers and brands. The Company agreed to install the bot on Cool Blue’s website as the first beta tester of our new chatbot.  

 

On October 31, 2023, we announced that the beta version of our ChatCBDW bot was live on our site as well as cool blue Distributions website. We are working towards getting CBD brands and retailors to sign up for the bot on a monthly basis.

 

We are focused on signing business to use the chatbot with a monthly recuring licensing fee model. We are using a Combination of our website, online ads, and email campaigns targeted towards CBD brands and retailers, the Company has cultivated considerable interest in 1606 and our AI Chatbot technology. 

 

The company is also using ISO’s or independent sales organizations to sell the Chatbot or include it in a package deal with their products. These ISO’s include but are not limited to CBD Distributors, Website designers and builders, and payment processing services within and outside the CBD industry.

Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, total operating expenses were $1,774,100 and $541,219, respectively.

Net Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net loss was $1,580,733 and $540,037, respectively. The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses as discussed above.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, and while the Company hopes to achieve profitable operations in the future, if not it may need to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, as well as its ability to raise capital. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to become profitable and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and/or manage operating expenses, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations.

 

To continue operations for the next 12 months, we will have a cash need of approximately $1,000,000. Should we not be able to fulfill our cash needs through the increase of revenue, we will need to raise money through outside investors through convertible notes, debt or similar instrument(s). The Company plans to pay off current liabilities through sales and increasing revenue through sales of Company services and or products, or through financing activities as mentioned above, although there is no guarantee that the Company will ultimately do so.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $747,104 for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of our net loss of $1,580,733 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $192,759, offset by shares issued for services provided of $288,546, financing costs of $200,616, $65,000 for the write-off of investments, amortization of debt discount of $119,324, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $352,862.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $610,151 for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of our net loss of $540,037, which was increased by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $70,114. 

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, totaled $86,500. The Company made preliminary investments of $50,000 and $15,000 in two separate operating companies which were then subsequently written off (see Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for further details). The $21,500 related to additional funds advanced to one of the target companies for which the Company now has Notes Receivable.

 

There was no cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022. 

 

Financing Activities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, our financing activities provided cash of $777,480, including $412,500 from the sale of our common stock, $149,480 in net proceeds from convertible notes, and $215,500 in proceeds from the note payable to our CEO.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, our financing activities provided cash of $705,673, including $543,173 resulting from additional borrowings from our CEO and $162,500 from the sale of our common stock.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Notes to the Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

 

Loss Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return benefits or consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of the financial statements for discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Gregory Lambrecht, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Mr. Lambrecht evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2023. Based on his evaluation, Mr. Lambrecht concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Annual Report.

 

These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Due to limited resources, management conducted an evaluation of internal controls based on criteria established in 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The results of this evaluation determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2023, due to material weaknesses. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

 

Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

 

 

1.

lack of a functioning audit committee for the entire fiscal year resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures; and

 

 

 

 

2.

inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.

 

We will continue to follow the standards for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for internal control over financial reporting to include procedures that:

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records in reasonable detail accurately that fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

 

 

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and

 

 

 

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Despite the material weaknesses in financial reporting noted above, we believe that our financial statements included in this report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the years presented in all material respects.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

None.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

CEO/CFO Employment Agreement

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Greg Lambrecht (Director, CEO, and CFO of the Company) to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company at an annual salary of $250,000. The agreement provides for a term of three years and will automatically be renewed for additional six month periods unless either party has provided written termination of the agreement at least 90 days prior to the expiration of such term. If employment is terminated as a result of death or Disability, the Company shall pay to the base salary and any accrued but unpaid bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of his death or disability and a lump sum payment equal to one year of base salary (at the time his death or disability occurs) within 30 days of his death or disability. In the event the Company does not have the cash flow to pay such amount within 30 days as set forth above, the Company may make such payments over 12 equal monthly installments. If employment is terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company for Cause (as defined in the agreement), then the Company shall pay to the base salary through the date of his termination and shall have no further obligation to any other compensation or benefits. If employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) upon the occurrence of a change of control or within six (6) months thereafter, the Company (or its successor, as applicable) shall (i) continue to pay to the base salary for a period of twelve (12) months following such termination, (ii) pay the any accrued and any earned but unpaid bonus, (iii) pay the bonus he would have earned had he remained with the Company for six (6) months from the date which such termination occurs, and (iv) pay expense reimbursement amounts through the date of termination. If employment is terminated by Mr. Lambrecht for Good Reason, or by the Company without Cause, then the Company shall (i) pay a single lump sum cash payment within five business days of such termination equal to six (6) times the then monthly base salary in effect regardless of when such termination occurs (provided, that in the event the Company does not have the cash flow to pay such amount within five business days as set forth above, the Company may make such payments over 12 equal monthly installments), and (ii) pay the bonus Mr. Lambrecht would have earned had he remained with the Company for six (6) months from the date which such termination occurs, and (iii) pay any expense reimbursement amounts owed, and payment for any unused vacation days, through the date of termination.

 

Effective February 28, 2024, we entered into a new Employment Agreement with Mr. Lambrecht. The term of the agreement is three years from the effective date, and will renew for six month periods automatically unless terminated by either party providing 90 days of prior written notice or for “Cause,” as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lambrecht is entitled to an annual salary of $250,000. Mr. Lambrecht is also entitled to a bonus as determined by our Board of Directors, healthcare (once established by the Company), reimbursement of expenses, and 20 vacation days per year. Also, as an inducement to enter into the agreement, Mr. Lambrecht was awarded 60 shares of Series B Super Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) of the Company.

 

Director Compensation

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, no compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our non-executive directors.

 

Overview of Compensation Program

 

We currently do not maintain a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing, and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable, and competitive.

 

 
14

Table of Contents

 

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

 

The Board believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company and that aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive.

 

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

 

The Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and directors of the Company.

 

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

The following tables set forth, as of April 15, 2024, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, including our common stock, and Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, by:

 

 

·

each stockholder known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of our outstanding stock;

 

·

each director;

 

·

each named executive officer;

 

·

all our executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

·

each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our outstanding stock.

 

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise specified the address for each of the above is 2425 E Camelback Rd., Suite 150, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

 

Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership prior to this offering is based on 62,486,877 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 15, 2024, we also have 56,322,598 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 90 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.

The promissory note is not secured by Company assets, does not bear interest and is due in full on March 15, 2025. The promissory note totaled $950,550 at December 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, a total of 200,001 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were issued to ours Vice President, Austen Lambrecht, the son of Greg Lambrecht, our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, one share of Class A Preferred Stock was issued to Greg Lambrecht and each of the two other members of the Company’s Board of Directors for services provided.

 

On February 28, 2024, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Austen Lambrecht, our Vice President. The term of the agreement is three years from the effective date, and will renew for six month periods automatically unless terminated by either party providing 90 days of prior written notice or for “Cause,” as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lambrecht is entitled to an annual salary of $97,000. Mr. Lambrecht is also entitled to a bonus as determined by our Board of Directors, healthcare (once established by the Company), reimbursement of expenses, and 20 vacation days per year. Also, as an inducement to enter into the agreement, Mr. Lambrecht was awarded 30 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

 

We currently have not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

  

Board of Directors and Stockholders

1606 Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 1606 Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and parent’s net investment, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

/s/ Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P.

 

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2021.

1606 Corp.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

1606 Corp. (“1606” or the “Company”) was formed in February 2021 and was a division of Singlepoint Inc. (“Singlepoint”) until April 2021, when Singlepoint spun off 1606, whereby each holder of common stock and Class A preferred stock of Singlepoint received one share of unregistered and restricted common stock or Class A preferred stock of the Company for each such share owned of Singlepoint.

 

Business

 

The Company is an AI Chatbot company specializing in merchandizing bot specifically built for the CBD industry.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has yet to achieve significant profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on its ability to develop its business and to achieve profitable operations. Since the Company does not anticipate achieving profitable operations and/or adequate cash flows in the near term, management will continue to pursue additional equity financing through private placements of the Company’s common stock.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy

 

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Management of the Company considers all receivables collectable. Uncollectable accounts are charged to expense when the account is determined to be uncollectable. The allowance is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, prior history of uncollectable accounts receivable and existing economic conditions. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is $0.

The Company’s inventory as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 consisted of finished hemp products. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand and the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products. To the extent that management determines there is excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value of this inventory to the lower of cost or market. No such adjustments were deemed necessary during the periods presented.

 

Investments

 

Investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment each balance sheet date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company wrote-off investments of $15,000 and $50,000 initially made under the terms of a separate Letter of Intent and Member Interest Purchase Agreement, respectively in companies that operate in the hemp market. See Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company, which has adopted ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, derives its revenues primarily from the sale of hemp products. Revenues are recognized when control of these products is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Any shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including shipping and handling costs such as inbound freight costs, purchasing, and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. All other expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options and other common stock equivalents, computed using the treasury stock method, and are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares, to the extent they are issued and outstanding, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 2,265,400 related to the Company’s Class A preferred stock. These shares were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, 58,582,469 and 37,428,394 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding, respectively. These share amounts are utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for years then ended.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are reported under selling, general and administrative in the accompanying statements of operations. Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,709,100 and $541,219 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values at our balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their fair values, but GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts in our balance sheets. For financial instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in income or other comprehensive income. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided below under “Financial Instruments.”

 

Nonfinancial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

 

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 or 2023. The Derivative liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Beginning on June 27, 2023, the Company issued note payable agreements which contain conversion provisions meeting the definition of a derivative liability which therefore require bifurcation. Further, pursuant to the Company’s contract ordering policy, equity linked instruments subsequent to June 27, 2023, resulted in derivative liabilities.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the notes payable and warrants based on assumptions used in the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial pricing model using the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.0285; risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.79% to 5.03%; expected volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 110% to 204% based on the volatility of comparable publicly traded entities; and exercise prices of $0.0182; and terms of eight to twelve months.

Common Stock

 

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at a meeting which commences with a lawful quorum is sufficient for approval of most matters upon which shareholders may or must vote, including the questions presented for approval or ratification at the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. An amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, however, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s total voting power for approval. Common shares do not carry cumulative voting rights, and holders of more than 50% of the common stock have the power to elect all directors and, as a practical matter, to control the Company. Holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and the common stock may only be redeemed at the Company’s election.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 6,518,950 shares of its common stock in payment for various services provided. The shares had a fair value of $178,544 based on the closing market price of the common shares on the date of grant.

The Class A preferred stock has certain material rights and preferences (as is more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Class A Preferred Stock).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, a total of 200,001 shares of Class A preferred stock was issued to the Company’s Vice President, Austen Lambrecht and one share of Class A preferred stock was issued to Greg Lambrecht and each of the two other members of the Company’s Board of Directors for services provided. The value of all these shares was determined to be $110,002 based on an assumed conversion at a one-for-25 ratio of the Class A preferred stock for common shares and the closing market price of the common shares on the date of grant.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, 552,405 shares of Class A preferred stock were converted into 13,810,125 common shares. No shares of the Company’s Class A preferred stock were issued during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets resulting from this net operating loss carryforward.

 

The components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, consist of the following:

Legal Proceedings and Other Claims

 

From time to time, we are a party to claims and actions for matters arising out of our business operations. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings and other claims in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although the outcome of claims and litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that our financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a claim or legal proceeding. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings, and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

 

Employment Agreements
