PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED APRIL                  , 2023

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

1606 Corp.

4,000,000 shares of common stock

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholder named herein of up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of 1606 Corp. issued pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) dated February 6, 2023 between the Registrant and the selling stockholder, GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) . If issued presently, the 4,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS would represent 10.48% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of April 11, 2023.

The selling stockholder GHS may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by GHS. However, we will receive proceeds from our initial sale of shares to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. We will sell shares to GHS at a price equal to 80% of the trading price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding the date on which we deliver a put notice to GHS (the “Market Price”). GHS agreed to provide the Registrant with up to $20,000,000 over a 24-month period after the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Registrant, after the effectiveness of the registration statement will, at its discretion, deliver Puts to GHS obligating GHS to purchase Registrant’s common stock based on the investment amount in each Put notice.

The purchase price shall be eighty percent (80%) of the Market Price. Following an up-list to the NASDAQ or an equivalent national exchange by the Registrant, the purchase price shall mean ninety percent (90%) of the Market Price, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put. The Registrant also is obligated to issue 400,000 shares of common stock as commitment shares to GHS, which it has done.

GHS is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such an event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, which would be the responsibility of GHS.

In conjunction with the Financing Agreement, the Registrant also executed a Registration Rights Agreement with GHS (the “Rights Agreement”).  The Rights Agreement called for the Registrant to register only the shares to be purchased by GHS through an S-1 Registration Agreement.  The registrant was to use its best efforts to have the S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC within 30 days of the execution of the Rights Agreement. Both the Finance Agreement and the Rights Agreement were filed with the SEC as exhibits to a Form 8-K  on February 14, 2023 and by reference incorporated herein.

Our common stock is traded on OTC Markets under the symbol “CBDW”. On April 11, 2023 the last reported sale price for our common stock was $.04 per share.

Prior to this offering, there has been a very limited market for our securities. While our common stock is on the OTC Markets, there has been negligible trading volume. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities.

This offering is highly speculative, and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by people who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                          , 2023.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward- looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,” “predict,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the use of proceeds from this offering, our product candidates, research and development, commercialization objectives, prospects, strategies, the industry in which we operate and potential acquisitions or collaborations.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results may not be indicative of results in subsequent periods.

In making forward-looking statements, the Company has made various material assumptions, including but not limited to (i) obtaining or complying with the necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) that regulatory requirements will be maintained; (iii) general business and economic conditions, including the ongoing impact of COVID19; (iv) the Company’s ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions, including with respect to the ramp up of commercial operations and the achievement of expected revenues; (v) the availability of financing on reasonable terms; (vi) the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled staff; (vii) market competition; (viii) the products and technology offered by the Company’s competitors; and (ix) that the Company’s current good relationships with its suppliers, service providers and other third parties will be maintained. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. You should not put undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward- looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. In addition to the risk factors set forth above, the factors set forth below under “Risk Factors” and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

This prospectus contain statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. While we believe the industry and market data included in this prospectus are reliable and are based on reasonable assumptions, these data involve many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and other publicly available information. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the sections titled and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward- Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in this prospectus.

This prospectus may contain trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners.

Company Overview

The Registrant was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 as a spin-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. We offer a nicotine- and tobacco-free alternative to cigarettes and vaping products using industrial grade hemp, and promoting health benefits such as pain management, reduced anxiety and enhanced wakefulness. Smokable hemp is an alternative for customers that currently smoke or want to quit smoking nicotine. All of our hemp cigarettes are manufactured with 100% premium hemp flower and are nicotine-free, tobacco-free and organically grown – free of pesticides and other contaminants. Our key customers comprise distributors and retail customers, including convenience stores, smoke shops and individual purchasers.

We are focused on increasing our retail footprint concentrating on regional expansion in addition to continuing to grow our online presence and retail distribution network. We sell our products directly online through our website, www.1606hemp.com, and ship them directly to anywhere within the United States. Our products are also sold in approximately 300 retail stores.

With our corporate headquarters located in Phoenix, AZ and our executive team experienced in tobacco sales, distribution, commercialization, and marketing, our product, “1606 Original Hemp” is positioned to become the market leader in the smokable industrial hemp cigarette marketplace.

We entered into a national retail distribution agreement for our smokable hemp products. Our products will be included in a strategic sales program to its national distribution network of 8,000 actively transacting stores with an additional 34,000 stores in their national database (as represented by this distributor).

Our Strategy

The current market for combustible (smokable) products worldwide is valued at $932 billion. The combustible market includes traditional cigarettes, cigars, electronic vapes, and combustible hemp products, but has historically been dominated by traditional cigarettes, which account for 75% of the worldwide tobacco sales. The CDC states that 34 million American adults currently smoke cigarettes and over 70% have some desire to quit.

While the cannabidiol (“CBD”) market has many products, the combustible market has a smaller number of competitors of which 1606 is one. Grandview Research has shown that the combustible market is projected to increase by 1.3% through the year 2028, with a growing smokable hemp segment as smoking hemp is becoming more acceptable in mainstream society for those who smoke and for its many health benefits. In fact, Hemp Industry Daily reports tobacco smokers are 191% more likely to use hemp pre-rolls than the general population. Approximately 29% of cigarette smokers have indicated interested in smokable-hemp. Our strategy is to capitalize on the current growing demand for smokable hemp by offering nicotine-free, tobacco-free and organically grown hemp that commands premium pricing for all of our distributed and proprietary branded products. Moreover, we leverage our impressive social media following of over 52 thousand followers to selectively e-market to customers that have ordered our products and people engaged in the business of smokables distribution and sales.

After examining the sales landscape for the past 18 months, we believe our prices reflect the best value to customers in terms of price to quality and price to scale to a national market. Additionally, we believe our manufacturing relationships throughout Southern and Northern California as well as in the Midwest and Northeast, enable us to scale quickly to meet demand in any part of the United States.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER

This offering relates to the resale by the selling stockholder named herein of up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of 1606 Corp. issued pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) dated February 6, 2023 between the Registrant and the selling stockholder, GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) . If issued presently, the 4,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS would represent 10.48% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of  April  11, 2023.

The selling stockholder GHS may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by GHS. However, we will receive proceeds from our initial sale of shares to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. We will sell shares to GHS at a price equal to 80% of the trading price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding the date on which we deliver a put notice to GHS (the “Market Price”) GHS agreed to provide the Registrant with up to $20,000,000 over a 24-month period after the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Registrant, after the effectiveness of the registration statement will, at its discretion, deliver Puts to GHS obligating GHS to purchase Registrant’s common stock based on the investment amount in each Put notice.

The purchase price shall be eighty percent (80%) of the Market Price. Following an up-list to the NASDAQ or an equivalent national exchange by the Registrant, the purchase price shall mean ninety percent (90%) of the Market Price, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put. The Registrant has issued 400,000 shares of common stock as commitment shares to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement.

GHS is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such an event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, which would be the responsibility of GHS.

THE OFFERING

The following summary of the offering contains basic information about the offering and our securities and is not intended to be complete. It does not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of our securities, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Capital Stock.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We currently qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we expect that we will take advantage of the reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include:

We may continue to take advantage of these reduced reporting obligations until March 30, 2024. However, if certain events occur prior to such date, including if we become a “large, accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three- year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and other matters in this prospectus and other filings we make with the SEC. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders is different than the information you might receive from other public fully reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we are not subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risk Factors Affecting Our Business

Change in Laws, Regulations and Guidelines

Our operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and guidelines, including, but not limited to, those relating to the manufacture, management, transportation, storage and disposal of hemp, as well as laws and regulations relating to health and safety (including those for consumable products), the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations. If any changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines occur, which are matters beyond our control, we may incur significant costs in complying with such changes or it may be unable to comply therewith, which in turn may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations.

Changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof, the imposition of restrictions on our ability to operate, as a result of regulatory changes or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Differing Local Rules and Regulations May Limit Ability to Expand into New Markets

Expansion of our business into new markets with different rules and regulations or distant from then-existing operations, may not succeed. Any such expansion may expose us to new operational, regulatory and/or legal risks. In addition, expanding into new localities may subject us to unfamiliar or uncertain local rules and regulations that may adversely affect our operation. For example, different localities may impose different rules on how hemp may be cultivated, manufactured, processed, distributed and/or transported. Each of the political subdivisions currently has the right to subject participants in the hemp industry operating within its jurisdiction to its own set of rules and regulations regarding the acquisition and maintenance of required licenses, permits or registrations, and the conduct of business, including prohibiting such operations and business in full or in part, regardless of the rules and regulations of other political subdivisions in which we operate. Newly entered localities may also have competitive conditions, consumer preferences, and spending patterns that are more difficult to predict or satisfy than the existing markets.

Constraints on Marketing Products

The development of our business and operating results may be hindered by applicable restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by government regulatory bodies. The regulatory and legal environment in the United States — particularly the existence of federal criminal laws that may prohibit certain marketing of hemp or hemp products limits companies’ abilities to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If we are unable to effectively market our products and compete for market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through increased selling prices for our products, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Environmental Risk and Regulation

Our operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors (or the equivalent thereof) and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations.

Economic Environment

Our operations could be affected by general economic context conditions should the unemployment level, interest rates or inflation reach levels that influence consumer trends, and consequently, impact our sales and profitability. As well, general demand for banking services and alternative banking or financial services cannot be predicted and future prospects of such areas might be different from those predicted by our management.

Limited Operating History

Our business was only spun out from Sing in early 2021 and has generated minimal revenue. We have no agreements with Sing to assist in the operation of our business. We are therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources, and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations. We purchased our inventory from Sing in June 2021 in exchange for the issuance of a promissory note which provides for monthly payments through August 2024. As we have generated limited revenues to date, we may not be able to repay this note and we may be subject to default on this note.

Internet security poses a risk on business operations and management budgets

Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect client transaction data. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause material interruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to minimize problems caused by security breaches. To the extent that our activities or the activities of others involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss and/or litigation. Our security measures may not prevent security breaches. Our failure to prevent these security breaches may result in consumer distrust and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Inherent in an Agricultural Business

Our business may, in the future, involve the growing of industrial hemp, an agricultural product. Such business will be subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although such growing for the Company is expected to be completed by experienced farmers, there can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on any such future production.

Reliance on Management

Another risk associated with the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp is the loss of important staff members. We are currently in good standing with all high-level employees and believe that with well managed practices we will remain in good standing. Our success will be dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management and key personnel. While employment agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Insurance and Uninsured Risks

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, labor disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although the Company maintains and intends to continue to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as we consider to be reasonable, our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. We may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards encountered in our operations is not generally available on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations.

We Are an Entrant Engaging in a New Industry

The industrial hemp industry is fairly new. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and shareholders may find it difficult to resell their Common Shares. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in the long term.

If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.

We do not manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to independent contract manufacturers. We do not own the plants or the majority of the equipment required to manufacture and package our hemp products, and we do not anticipate bringing the manufacturing process in-house in the future. Our ability to maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers and other third parties for the production and delivery of our hemp products in a particular geographic distribution area is important to the success of our operations within each distribution area. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with current contract manufacturers or establish satisfactory relationships with new or replacement contract manufacturers, whether in existing or new geographic distribution areas. The failure to establish and maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers for a distribution area could increase our manufacturing costs and thereby materially reduce gross profits from the sale of our products in that area. Poor relations with any of our contract manufacturers could adversely affect the amount and timing of product delivered to our distributors for resale, which would in turn adversely affect our revenues and financial condition. In addition, our agreements with our contract manufacturers are terminable at any time, and any such termination could disrupt our ability to deliver products to our customers.

Difficulty to Forecast

We must rely largely on own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the industrial hemp industry. A failure in the demand for our products to materialize, as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Management of Growth

We may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our inability to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President, and our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President, and CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the material weaknesses described below.

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that we had “material weaknesses” (as such term is defined below) in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the Evaluation Date:

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.

A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules 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 a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected

We will need significant additional financing to further commercialize our products, and we may not be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all.

We will require additional financing in the near and long-term to fully execute our business plan. We anticipate that we will need additional financing to enhance our sales and marketing team, as well as to cover our operational costs.

The market conditions and the macroeconomic conditions that affect the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure financing on acceptable terms, if at all. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, or our operating cash flow may be insufficient to satisfy our financial obligations. The terms of additional financing may limit our financial and operating flexibility. Our ability to satisfy our financial obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, the availability of credit generally, economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Furthermore, if financing is not available when needed, or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to regulatory pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may utilize one or more types of capital raising in order to fund any initiative in this regard, including the issuance of new equity securities and new debt securities, including debt securities convertible into shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company. In addition, any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, and we may grant holders of such securities rights with respect to the governance and operations of our business. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if and when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Litigation

We may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect our business. Should any litigation in which we become involved be determined against us, such a decision could adversely affect our ability to continue operating and the market price for Common Shares and could use significant resources. Even if we are involved in litigation and win, litigation can redirect significant Company resources.

Unfavorable Publicity or Consumer Perception

The success of the industrial hemp and cannabis industry may be significantly influenced by the public’s perception of industrial hemp and medicinal applications. Hemp and medical cannabis are controversial topics, and there is no guarantee that future scientific research, publicity, regulations, medical opinion and public opinion relating to medical cannabis will be favorable. Any adverse or negative publicity, scientific research, limiting regulations, medical opinion and public opinion relating to the consumption of CBD may have a material adverse effect on our operational results, consumer base and financial results.

Fluctuating Prices of Raw Materials

Our revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the sale and distribution of processed hemp biomass. We purchase hemp products which are made from hemp which is priced according to the market prices at the time of production. Changes in the price for hemp cannot be predicted with any level of certainty.

Global Economy Risk

An economic downturn of global capital markets has been shown to make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. Our Company may be dependent upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting its future operating cost requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact our ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favorable to our Company and its management. If uncertain market conditions persist, our ability to raise capital could be jeopardized, which could have an adverse impact on our operations.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic may cause us to face disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions and impact on economic activity in affected countries or regions can be expected and can be difficult to quantify. Such pandemics or diseases represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce industry and could be a major health-care challenge for our Company. There can be no assurance that our personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases and ultimately that we would see our workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs/insurance premiums as a result of these health risks. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant travel restrictions, social distancing, Government response actions, business closures and business disruptions, can all have an impact on our operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on global financial markets may reduce resource prices and financial liquidity and thereby that may severely limit the financing capital available.

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations and our ability to raise capital.

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. This event may also limit our ability to raise capital. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our products but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Commission.

Farm Bill Risks

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is responsible for ensuring public health and safety through regulation of food, drugs, supplements, and cosmetics, among other products, through its enforcement authority pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”). The FDA’s responsibilities include regulating ingredients in, as well as the marketing and labeling of, drugs sold in interstate commerce.

On December 20, 2018 the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law. The 2018 Farm Bill, among other things, removes industrial hemp and its cannabinoids, including CBD derived from industrial hemp, from the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) and amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to allow for industrial hemp production and sale in the United States. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp is defined as “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a [THC] concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been tasked with promulgating regulations for the industrial hemp industry, which, among other things, requires the Department of Agriculture to review and approve any state- promulgated regulations relating to industrial hemp. Until such time as the Department of Agriculture approves a state’s industrial hemp regulations, commercial sale of industrial hemp may not be permissible. Although Interim Rules for Hemp Production are now in place federally, the timing of finalized federal rules and regulations, in addition to state specific rules and regulations, cannot be assured. Further, under the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA has retained authority over the addition of CBD to products that fall within the FDCA. There can be no assurance that the FDA will approve CBD as an additive to products under the FDCA. It is not yet fully known what role the FDA will have in regulating industrial hemp and CBD derived from industrial hemp.

The potential for multi-agency enforcement post-rescheduling of cannabis and post-removal of industrial hemp from the CSA could threaten or have a materially adverse effect on the operations of existing state legal cannabis businesses, including certain of companies’ State Operators.

Negative Impact of Regulatory Scrutiny on Raising Capital

Our business activities will rely on newly established and/or developing laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions. These laws and regulations are rapidly evolving and subject to change with minimal notice. Regulatory changes may adversely our profitability or cause it to cease operations entirely. The hemp industry may come under scrutiny or further scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or other applicable federal, state, or non- governmental regulatory authorities or self- regulatory organizations. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations, or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any proposals will become law. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding our industry may adversely affect our business and operations of the Company, including without limitation, the costs to remain compliant with applicable laws and the impairment of our ability to raise additional capital, create a public trading market for securities of the Company or to find a suitable acquirer, which could reduce, delay or eliminate any return on investment in the Company.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations and generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The size of our losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures and our ability to generate revenues.

We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our financial condition. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance and our revenues do not increase significantly, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

If we are not able to successfully execute on our future operating plans, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

It is important that we meet our sales goals and increase sales going forward as our operating plan already reflects prior significant cost containment measures and may make it difficult to achieve top-line growth if further significant reductions become necessary. If we do not meet our sales goals, our available cash and working capital will decrease and our financial condition will be negatively impacted.

Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and retailers of our brand as a smokable hemp product that has the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the revitalization and growth of our brand and product offerings, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by distributors and consumers. Any failure of our brand to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results. Our investments in marketing as well as our strong commitment to product quality are intended to have a favorable impact on brand image and consumer preferences. Unfavorable publicity, or allegations of quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish our reputation and brand image and may cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, if we do not adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics, consumer and economic trends, health concerns and product preferences, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.

Our financial results could be adversely impacted by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials and packaging due to inflation and other factors. Continued growth would require us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled workforce and talented management team. Any unplanned turnover or our failure to develop an adequate succession plan for current positions could erode our competitiveness. In addition, our financial results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

Changes in government regulation or failure to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those governing production, distribution, importation, marketing, advertising, sales, pricing, labeling, packaging, product liability, antitrust, labor, compliance and control systems, environmental issues and/or data privacy. Changes in existing laws or regulations could require material expenses and negatively affect our financial results through lower sales or higher costs.

Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.

Taxes imposed on the sale of certain of our products by federal, state and local governments could materially affect our business and financial results. These include changes in the domestic and international tax environment, which can lead to uncertainty around the application of existing and new tax laws and unexpected tax exposure for our Company.

Competition from traditional and large, well-financed smokable hemp manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.

The smokable hemp industry is highly competitive. We compete with similar companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all of whom also distribute other smokable hemp brands. Our products compete with all smokable hemp brands, most of which are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial resources than ours. Some of these competitors are placing severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry competitive brands such as ours. We also compete with regional hemp producers and suppliers.

We face substantial competition in the smokable hemp industry and we may not be able to effectively compete.

Consolidation among smokable hemp producers, distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our products. Consolidation at any level could hinder the distribution and sale of our products as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our brands, both during and after transition periods, because our brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio. Expansion into new product categories by other suppliers, or innovation by new entrants into the market, could increase competition in our product categories. Changes to our route-to-consumer models or partners in important markets could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruption, higher implementation-related or fixed costs, and could negatively affect other business relationships we might have with that partner. Distribution network disruption or fluctuations in our product inventory levels with distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could negatively affect our results for a particular period.

Our competitors may respond to industry and economic conditions more rapidly or effectively than we do. Our competitors offer products that compete directly with ours for shelf space, promotional displays, and consumer purchases. Pricing, (including price promotions, discounting, couponing, and free goods), marketing, new product introductions, entry into our distribution networks, and other competitive behavior by our competitors could adversely affect our sales margins, and profitability.

It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.

Our independent distributors and national accounts are not required to place minimum monthly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, independent distributors typically order products from us on a “just in time” basis in quantities and at such times based on the demand for the products in a particular distribution area. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or whether any of our distributors will continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Additionally, our larger distributors and national partners may make orders that are larger than we have historically been required to fill. Shortages in inventory levels, supply of raw materials or other key supplies could negatively affect us.

If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We need to maintain adequate inventory levels to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply depends on our ability to correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

Disruption within our supply chain, contract manufacturing or distribution channels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability, through our suppliers, business partners, contract manufacturers, independent distributors and retailers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our suppliers or to manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics such as influenza and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), labor strikes or other reasons, could impair the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. Many of these events are outside of our control. Failure to take adequate steps to protect against or mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in such areas as finance, sales, marketing and product development. We compete to hire new employees, and, in some cases, must train them and develop their skills and competencies. We may not be able to provide our employees with competitive salaries, and our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

Changes to operations, policies and procedures, which can often occur with the appointment of new personnel, can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods are often difficult as the new employees gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution. Until we integrate new personnel, and unless they are able to succeed in their positions, we may be unable to successfully manage and grow our business, and our financial condition and profitability may suffer.

Further, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, our operations, financial condition and employee morale could be negatively impacted. In addition, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer. Moreover, our operations could be negatively affected if employees are quarantined as the result of exposure to a contagious illness such as COVID-19.

If we lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be harmed.

Our business plan relies significantly on the continued services of Greg Lambrecht, our Chief Executive Officer. If we were to lose the services of Mr. Lambrecht, our ability to execute our business plan could be materially impaired. We are not aware of any facts or circumstances that suggest he might leave us.

If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.

Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect brand image.

Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.

The production, marketing and sale of our smokable hemp products, including contents, labels and packaging, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production batch or “run” is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we cannot anticipate whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.

We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.

Climate change may negatively affect our business.

There is growing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures may cause an adverse change in weather patterns around the globe resulting in an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. While warmer weather has historically been associated with increased sales of our products similar to ours, changing weather patterns could have a negative impact on agricultural productivity, which may limit availability or increase the cost of certain key ingredients. Also, increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions may disrupt the productivity of our facilities, the operation of our supply chain or impact demand for our products. In addition, the increasing concern over climate change may result in more regional, federal and global legal and regulatory requirements and could result in increased production, transportation and raw material costs. As a result, the effects of climate change could have a long-term adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.

The proper functioning of our own information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

The United States generally accepted accounting principles and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our smokable hemp products.

These risks can include unfavorable economic conditions and related low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, sovereign debt defaults, sequestrations, austerity measures, higher interest rates, political instability, higher inflation, deflation, lower returns on pension assets, or lower discount rates for pension obligations.

The market for our common stock may be subject to the penny stock restrictions, which may result in lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.

SEC Rule 15g-9 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions. Our common stock is currently subject to the penny stock rules, and it is probable that our common stock will continue to be considered to be a penny stock for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification materially and adversely affects the market liquidity for our common stock. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker--dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker--dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

To approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker--dealer must obtain financial information, investment experience and objectives of that person and make a reasonable determination that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker--dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to, both, the broker--dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because of these regulations, broker--dealers may desire to not engage in the necessary paperwork and disclosures required to sell our common stock, and broker--dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell our common stock, which may affect the ability of holders to sell our common stock in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing trading activity in the secondary market of our common stock. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock. In addition, the liquidity of our common stock may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our common stock, in all probability, will continue to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our stockholders will, quite probably, have difficulty selling our common stock.

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock”, and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

Our common stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or (iii) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The price of our common stock may be volatile and the value of our common stock could decline.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile. The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many such companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Any litigation of this type brought against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of the Company’s operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price and the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

Our stock is trading on the OTC PK Markets. The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and fluctuates widely in price in response to various factors, which are beyond our control.

Furthermore, we must note that the price of our common stock may not necessarily be indicative of our operating performance or long-term business prospects. In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

1606 was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 as a spin-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. We offer creating nicotine-free and tobacco-free alternatives to traditional cigarettes and vaping products. Our manufacturers use state of the art manufacturing in the United States and a blend of all-natural ingredients to provide smokers aged 21+ an alternative to traditional cigarettes that does not contain nicotine or tobacco, and promoting health benefits such as pain management, reduced anxiety and enhanced wakefulness. Smokable hemp is an alternative for customers that currently smoke or want to quit smoking nicotine. All of our hemp cigarettes are manufactured with 100% premium hemp flower and are nicotine-free, tobacco-free and organically grown – free of pesticides and other contaminants. Our key customers comprise distributors and retail customers, including convenience stores, smoke shops and individual purchasers.

We are focused on increasing our retail footprint concentrating on regional expansion in addition to continuing to grow our online presence and retail distribution network. We sell our products directly online through our website, www.1606hemp.com, and ship them directly to anywhere within the United States. Our products are also sold in approximately 300 retail stores.

With our corporate headquarters located in Phoenix, AZ and our executive team experienced in tobacco sales, distribution, commercialization, and marketing, our product, we believe “1606 Original Hemp” is positioned to become the market leader in the smokable industrial hemp cigarette marketplace.

We plan to release four primary flavor variants in 2021, namely Original, Smooth, Menthol, and Mango. Original will be a full-flavored product which has been developed to closely emulate the taste experience of a regular tobacco cigarette. Smooth has been developed to produce a flavor profile which is milder in taste. Menthol has been developed to mimic the taste profile of a mentholated tobacco cigarette. Mango has been developed to produce a product that appeals to consumers that want a flavored product. 1606 will market its products under the 1606 Hemp brand for the Original Hemp product and under Zero for the product that has no Marijuana smell. Through the application of a flavoring treatment, they are able to completely transform the raw material into a finished product that tastes and smells similar to tobacco when combusted. This material is referred to as Base Cigarette Material (“BCM”). Similarly, to fine-cut tobacco, BCM is derived entirely from plant matter, however BCM is fundamentally different from fine- cut tobacco in that it has no tobacco content whatsoever. As such, BCM contains no nicotine, is non-addictive, and undergoes substantially different processing than fine-cut tobacco. This process forms a significant part of the value of zero brand and is a closely guarded trade secret.

Distribution

We have made several key partnerships with key distributors to scale and increase the Company’s business. Through a combination of online, in-store, and digital out-of-home campaigns targeted towards smokers aged 21 or older, the Company has cultivated considerable interest in 1606 across the United States.

Since our inception in 2019, we have used our interactive website, 1606hemp.com, for e-commerce sales of 1606 hemp to consumers throughout the United States. The site uses articles and scientific studies to inform the consumer of the benefits of using hemp instead of tobacco and nicotine. Customers are then able to purchase packs and cartons directly from the website and have them shipped to them throughout the U.S. excluding Idaho.

In 2020 we signed an agreement with Bud.com, one of the leading online sites for sales of hemp and CBD products, to have the site carry 1606 Hemp original Hemp pre-rolls on their website. Bud.com carries a variety of CBD, hemp, and marijuana products that are available for purchase and direct shipment to consumers. Bud.com offers a pipeline to consumers that already use Marijuana products and consumers that use CBD products to switch to smoking hemp or supplement these products with a smokable hemp product. The site works as a drop-shipper portal where a consumer buys the product off of the site and a shipping form is sent to 1606 and fulfilled through our warehouse in California. 1606 Corp and. Bud.com no longer have a business relationship.

Our Strategy

The current market for combustible (smokable) products worldwide is valued at $932 billion. The combustible market includes traditional cigarettes, cigars, electronic vapes, and combustible hemp products, but has historically been dominated by traditional cigarettes, which account for 75% of the worldwide tobacco sales. The CDC states that 34 million American adults currently smoke cigarettes and over 70% have some desire to quit.

While the cannabidiol (“CBD”) market has many products, the combustible market has a smaller number of competitors of which 1606 is one. Grandview Research has shown that the combustible market is projected to increase by 1.3% through the year 2028, with a growing smokable hemp segment as smoking hemp is becoming more acceptable in mainstream society for those who smoke and for its many health benefits. In fact, Hemp Industry Daily reports tobacco smokers are 191% more likely to use hemp pre-rolls than the general population. Approximately 29% of cigarette smokers have indicated interested in smokable-hemp. Our strategy is to capitalize on the current growing demand for smokable hemp by offering nicotine-free, tobacco-free and organically grown hemp that commands premium pricing for all of our distributed and proprietary branded products. Moreover, we leverage our impressive social media following followers to selectively e-market to customers that ordered our products and people engaged in the business of smokables distribution and sales.

After examining the sales landscape for the past 18 months, we believe our prices reflect the best value to customers in terms of price to quality and price to scale to a national market. Additionally, we believe our manufacturing relationships throughout Southern and Northern California as well as in the Midwest and Northeast, enabling us to scale quickly to meet demand in any part of the United States.

Products

We distribute and market industrial grade smokable filtered hemp, containing less than 0.3% THC levels in accordance with the Farm Bill passed in 2018. We offer pre-rolled hemp cigarettes in the traditional 20-pack casing as well as a single stick offered in a plastic casing that provides customers an opportunity to try the product at a lower price point before buying the 20 pack. We have also engineered an innovative six-pack display that can be placed directly on the point of sales counter.

Our Competitive Strengths

We have identified companies listed below as our potential competitors. When compared to producers of hemp cigarettes, our product is unique in that the products made by these other companies do not closely resemble tobacco cigarettes in their taste, smell, or other experiential attributes. Likewise, when compared to producers of tobacco cigarettes, our product is unique in that it is designed to closely replicate the user experience of these products, though it does so with no tobacco or nicotine content. Thus, these are not necessarily “direct” competitors as the companies in question produce either hemp cigarettes which do not taste or smell like tobacco, or tobacco cigarettes with nicotine.

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to Company’s success and differentiate us from our competitors:

Employees

We have two full-time employees, including our executive officers and non-executive officers. We retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not have any part-time employees but 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.1606hemp.com. We have not incorporated by reference into this prospectus the information that can be assessed though our website and you should not consider it to be part of this prospectus.

Government Regulation

The 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law on December 20, 2018, which effectively removed hemp from the controlled substances list and made it federally legal in the United States.

The 2018 Farm Bill changed federal policy regarding industrial hemp, including the removal of hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and the consideration of hemp as an agricultural product. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp under certain restrictions and expanded the definition of industrial hemp from the last 2014 Farm Bill. The 2018 Farm Bill also allows states and tribes to submit a plan and apply for primary regulatory authority over the production of hemp in their state or in their tribal territory. A state plan must include certain requirements, such as keeping track of land, testing methods, and disposal of plants or products that exceed the allowed THC concentration.

Additionally, as hemp is now federally legal and is no longer classified as a Schedule 1 drug, the 2018 Farm Bill guarantees that hemp and hemp products can be moved from state to state to state and imported and exported the same as any other crop.

Previously, the 2014 Farm Bill defined industrial hemp and allowed for state departments of agriculture or universities to grow and produce hemp as part of research or pilot programs. Specifically, the law allowed universities and state departments of agriculture to grow or cultivate industrial hemp if: (1) “the industrial hemp is grown or cultivated for purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program or other agricultural or academic research; and (2) the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp is allowed under the laws of the state in which such institution of higher education or state department of agriculture is located, and such research occurs.”

To comply with state regulations for commercial and research programs, growers must be licensed, registered or permitted with the state agency overseeing the program. Requirements for registration, licenses and permits might include:

The state agencies overseeing these programs are typically authorized to conduct inspections, test the plants and review records. State agencies may revoke licenses and impose civil and criminal penalties against growers who violate regulations

Any activities involving industrial hemp that fall within the following would require a license: cultivation (including plant breeding/propagation); sale; importation; exportation; cleaning; preparing (conditioning); and, processing (including rendering non-viable and producing derivatives/products).

The USDA announced October 29, 2019, the “U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program”. The interim final rule governs the production of hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill. The interim final rule does not affect industrial hemp that was or is being cultivated under the 2014 Farm Bill programs. That industrial hemp remains subject to the requirements of the 2014 Farm Bill. Key take-aways from the USDA 161 page guidelines are as follows:

Hemp Cigarettes

Hemp cigarettes enjoy a new, semi-regulated market. The product is early in the consumer adoption stage, so new companies have a chance to compete based on service, quality, and niche, and not just on distribution and funding.

Currently, hemp cigarettes are not subject to the same levels of regulation as tobacco cigarettes, however there are a series of bills that are currently circulating throughout state governments in Indiana, South Carolina and North Carolina regarding the legality of the possession, sale, and consumption of smokable hemp flower. Most products currently on the market are unregulated and made with poor- or low-quality hemp. This can affect the marketplace, the consumer experience, and bring faster regulation into the space.

Law enforcement has stated that smokable hemp and marijuana are indistinguishable based on smell and looks, thus making critical decisions more difficult as adequate training on this topic has not been provided, and many field tests only decipher the presence of THC rather than the concentration being greater than 0.03%.

Facilities

We currently lease office space at 2425 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 150, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings which management believes will have a material effect

upon the financial condition of the Company, nor are any such material legal proceedings anticipated. We are not aware of any contemplated legal or regulatory proceeding by a governmental authority in which we may be involved.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward- looking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this prospectus, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Forward- Looking Statements.”

Business Overview

1606 was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 as a spin-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. The Company is being presented as a carve out of SinglePoint which includes 1606 Corp. and certain other accounts of SinglePoint and collectively presents the Company on a standalone basis. Management believes the assumptions underlying the Company’s standalone financial statements are reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone company during the periods presented, and may not reflect the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. 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

We achieved our goal of offering a nicotine- and tobacco-free alternative to cigarettes and vaping products using industrial grade hemp, and promoting health benefits such as pain management, reduced anxiety and enhanced wakefulness. Smokable hemp is an alternative for customers that currently smoke or want to quit smoking nicotine. All of our hemp cigarettes are manufactured with 100% premium hemp flower and are nicotine-free, tobacco-free and organically grown – free of pesticides and other contaminants. Our key customers comprise distributors and retail customers, including convenience stores, smoke shops and individual purchasers.

We are focused on increasing our retail footprint concentrating on regional expansion in addition to continuing to grow our online presence and retail distribution network. We sell our products directly online through our website, www.1606hemp.com, and ship them directly to anywhere within the United States. Our products are also sold in approximately 300 retail stores.

Distribution expenses to transport our products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory.

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 spinoff 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 spinoff. 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. We achieved our goal of offering a nicotine and tobacco free alternative to cigarettes and vaping products using industrial grade hemp, and promoting health benefits such as pain management, reduced anxiety and enhanced wakefulness. Smokable hemp is an alternative for customers that currently smoke or want to quit smoking nicotine. All our hemp cigarettes are manufactured with 100% premium hemp flower and are nicotine free, tobacco free and organically grown – free of pesticides and other contaminants.

Results from Operations – For the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021.

Net Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had total sales of $13,944 and $34,069, respectively. The decrease in revenues was directly related to the decrease in sales of hemp cigarettes.

Cost of Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, cost of revenue was $12,762 and $21,696, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales in 2022 compared to 2021.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was $1,182 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $12,373, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in our overall gross profit was primarily a result of lower sales.

Operating Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, total operating expenses were $541,219 and $313,634, respectively. The increase was across all expense categories and was a result of the Company expanding its business and also the additional costs associated with regulatory filings and potential stock listing and other costs associated with reporting as a public company.

Net Loss

For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, net loss was $540,037 and $301,261, respectively. The increase in net loss is primarily a result of higher legal & professional expenses and contractor fees, combined with lower revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, 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 $500,000. Should we not be able to fulfill our cash needs through an increase of revenue and gross margin, we will need to raise money from outside investors through sale of common stock, issuance of convertible notes, debt or similar instrument(s). The Company plans to pay current liabilities by increasing revenue and gross margin 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 be successful doing so.

Advances from Officer

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company borrowed $540,000 and $195,050, respectively in a series of payments, from the Chief Executive Officer in exchange for the issuance of a promissory note. The note does not bear interest and is due in a lump sum payment on December 31, 2023.

Our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 are summarized below:

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 net cash used in operating activities was $610,150 and $260,507, respectively due primarily to our net losses of $540,037 and$301,261, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

None.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $705,673 and $270,050, respectively. The increase was directly due to cash from equity and debt financing.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

None.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We have not previously, nor do we intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.

The remaining 40,000,000 of Preferred Stock remains undesignated.

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.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has 56,635,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding, of which 31,230,000 shares are held by the Company’s CEO. The former officers and directors of Singlepoint hold the remaining outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock. The Class A Preferred Stock has the following material rights and preferences (as are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Class A Preferred Stock).

Ranking

The Class A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividends and upon liquidation, senior and prior to the common stock of the Company.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock are entitled, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution, to receive, before any payment to the holders of shares of common stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior, an amount per share equal to $1.00.

Voting

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 50 votes on any matters requiring a shareholder vote of the Company.

Conversion

Each share of our Class A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock on a one for 25 basis at the option of the holder.

Transfer Agent and Registrar 

West Coast Stock Transfer is serving as our transfer agent and registrar. They are located at 721 N. Vulcan Ave #205, Encinitas, CA 92024.

Dividends 

We have never declared or paid dividends. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, but currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. The payment of dividends if any, on our common stock will rest solely within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities 

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

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. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, 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 1606 Corp. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, 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 entity 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 Note1.  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 1606 Corp. 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.  1606 Corp. 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 1606 Corp.'s auditor since 2021.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 shared owned of Singlepoint.

Business

1606 Corp. is an early-stage sales marketing company focused on the domestic hemp cigarette (aka “pre-roll”) market. The Company currently sells its hemp products through individual online sales.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2022, 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 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

Until April 2021, when Singlepoint spun off 1606, the Company was part of Singlepoint’s consolidated operations. For that period, the Company has been carved out of Singlepoint’s consolidated operations for the purpose of presenting the Company on a standalone basis. Singlepoint used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations, including the operations of the Company. Transactions between Singlepoint and the Company until the spin off are accounted for through Parent’s Net Investment.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the Company’s standalone financial statements are reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial statements for the period of time prior to the spin off may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone company during that period. 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.

The expenses of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 (until April 2021, when Singlepoint spun off 1606), have been allocated by management between the Company and Singlepoint based either on specific attribution of those expenses or, where necessary, based on management’s best estimate of an appropriate proportional allocation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Uncollectable accounts are charged to expense when the account is determined to be uncollectable. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, prior history of uncollectable accounts receivable and existing economic conditions.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or market, and consist primarily of hemp products. The Company’s inventory as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 consists 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 to estimated net realizable value.  No such adjustments were deemed necessary during 2022 or 2021.

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.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Parent’s Net Investment

The Company’s equity on the Balance Sheets (until April 2021, when Singlepoint spun off 1606) represents Singlepoint’s net investment in the Company’s business and is presented as “Parent’s Net Investment”. During that time, Singlepoint performed cash management and other treasury-related functions on a centralized basis for all of its divisions, which included 1606. Liabilities recorded by Singlepoint, whose related expenses have been pushed down to the Company, are included in Parent’s Net Investment.

All transactions reflected in the Parent’s Net Investment have been considered cash receipts and payments for purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows and are reflected in the financing activities in the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows.

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 basis 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

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs were $118,786 and $56,979 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value Measurements

Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, credit card payable and accrued interest payable) in the balance sheets to approximate fair value because of the short-term and/or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates in one business segment. As a result, the Company’s operations are a single reportable segment, which is consistent with the Company’s internal management reporting.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events from December 31, 2022, through the date of filing of this report. See Note 7 for disclosure of subsequent events.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered the potential impact of recent accounting pronouncement and has not identified any that are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company borrowed $540,000 and $195,050, respectively in a series of payments from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in exchange for the issuance of a promissory note. The promissory note is not secured by Company assets, does not bear interest and is due in full on December 31, 2023. The total due under this promissory note at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $735,050 and $195,050, respectively.

During 2022, the Company paid $10,000 for services to the Vice President of Operations and $5,000 to another individual for web development services.  Both individuals are children of the Company’s CEO.

In June 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Singlepoint to purchase certain assets in exchange for the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) for $63,456. The Note bears interest at 5%, has a maturity date of August 1, 2024, and requires monthly installment payments installments of $1,902 beginning August 1, 2021. To date, the Company has made no principal or interest payments under the terms of the Note and is therefore, in default.  As a result, the Company has classified the entire Note balance, plus accrued interest of $3,173, as a current liability as of December 31, 2022.

On April 28, 2021, the Company sold a combined total of 150,000 shares of common stock to three individuals who are children of the Company’s CEO and Sole Director. Each individual paid $25,000 and was issued 50,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK

Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0001 par value per share and 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at $0.0001 par value per share. The Company has designated 60,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Class A Preferred Stock”). The remaining 40,000,000 of Preferred Stock remains undesignated.

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.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has 56,635,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding, of which 31,230,000 shares are held by the Company’s CEO. The former officers and directors of Singlepoint hold the remaining outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock.

The Class A Preferred Stock has the following material rights and preferences (as are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Class A Preferred Stock).

Ranking

The Class A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividends and upon liquidation, senior and prior to the common stock of the Company.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock are entitled, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution, to receive, before any payment to the holders of shares of common stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior, an amount per share equal to $1.00.

Voting

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 50 votes on any matters requiring a shareholder vote of the Company.

Conversion

Each share of our Class A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock on a one-for-25 basis at the option of the holder.

NOTE 5 – 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.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES (Continued)

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, 2022, and 2021, consist of the following:

Significant components of the Company’s estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022, and 2021 are as follows: 

The deferred tax assets associated with the net operating losses included in the table above reflect proforma net operating losses as if the Company were a separate taxpayer during the periods presented (until April 2021, when Singlepoint spun off 1606).

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings and Other Claims

From time to time, the Company is party to claims and actions for matters arising out its normal business operations. Management regularly evaluates the status of these legal proceedings and other claims to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or any additional loss, may have been incurred to determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, management further evaluates 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, the Company believes it has adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the Company’s consolidated 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 Agreement

In June 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Austen Lambrecht, who is a son of the Company’s CEO.  The agreement provided that Austen Lambrecht would serve as Vice President - Operations for a term of three years at an annual salary of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000), and an incentive bonus as determined by the Board of Directors.  The agreement automatically renews for additional six-month periods unless either party has provided written termination of this Agreement at least 90 days prior to the expiration of such term.

In May 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lambrecht. The agreement provided that Mr. Lambrecht would serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of three years at an annual salary of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), and an incentive bonus as determined by the Board of Directors.

The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses, all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered:

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.

With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is,therefore, unenforceable.
