The purpose of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A is to amend the financial statements and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” to add accrued and unpaid salary to our CEO, Gregory Lambrecht. The remainder of the Original Report, including the financial statements and supplementary data, remains unchanged except for the inclusion of new certifications required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as required in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
We have made no attempt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report other than as noted in the previous paragraph. Except as noted above, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Report, and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendments thereto.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2, of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in this Quarterly Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements to actual results.

1606 Corp.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
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 the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has yet to achieve significant profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on its ability to develop its business and to achieve profitable operations. Since the Company does not anticipate achieving profitable operations and/or adequate cash flows in the near term, management will continue to pursue additional equity financing through private placements of the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of the Company’s operations for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies when preparing quarterly financial data as we use for preparing annual data. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and our other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Management believes the assumptions underlying the Company’s standalone financial statements 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 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy
Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Management of the Company considers all receivables collectable. Uncollectable accounts are charged to expense when the account is determined to be uncollectable. The allowance is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, prior history of uncollectable accounts receivable and existing economic conditions. At March 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is $0.
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 March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 consisted of finished hemp products. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand and the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products. To the extent that management determines there is excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value of this inventory to estimated net realizable value. No such adjustments were deemed necessary during the periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company, which has adopted ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, derives its revenues primarily from the sale of hemp products. Revenues are recognized when control of these products is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Any shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.
Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including shipping and handling costs such as inbound freight costs, purchasing, and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. All other expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.
Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.
Net Loss Per Common Share
| a. | Basic loss per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options and other common stock equivalents, computed using the treasury stock method, and are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares, to the extent they are issued and outstanding, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 2,265,400 related to the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock. These shares were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive. |
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net Loss Per Common Share (continued)
| b. | At March 31, 2023 and 2022, 43,213,519 and 37,103,394 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were outstanding, respectively. These share amounts are being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months then ended. |
Basic loss per share data for each period presented is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each such period. Diluted loss per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of: (a) shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method; and (b) shares of non-vested restricted stock. There are no shares that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are reported under selling, general and marketing in the accompanying statements of operations. Such costs were $37,885 and $46,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
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 March 31, 2023, through the date of filing of this report. See Note 6 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.
Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Financial Statements
The Company has restated the accompanying condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, along with certain notes to such restated condensed financial statements. The adjustments recorded were related to the correction of an error identified by management. The nature and impact of this adjustment on the Company’s previously issued condensed financial statements is summarized as follows and the effects by impacted line items are detailed in the tables below. Impacted amounts and associated disclosures are restated within the accompanying notes to the condensed financial statements.

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 March 31, 2023, the Company has 56,432,595 shares of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding, of which 31,092,595 shares are held by the Company’s CEO. The former officers and directors of Singlepoint hold the remaining shares of the Class A Preferred Stock.
The Class A Preferred Stock has the following material rights and preferences (as is more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Class A Preferred Stock).
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a total of 202,405 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were converted to 5,060,125 common shares.
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, and 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.

Legal Proceedings and Other Claims
From time to time, we are a party to claims and actions for matters arising out of our business operations. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings and other claims in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although the outcome of claims and litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that our condensed 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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Plan of Operation
The Company was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 as a spin-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. We offer 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 promote health benefits such as pain management, reduced anxiety and enhanced wakefulness. Our smokable hemp cigarettes are 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. 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, we believe our product “1606 Original Hemp” is positioned to become the market leader in the smokable industrial hemp cigarette marketplace.
We have released four primary flavor variants namely Original, Smooth, Menthol, and Mango. Original is 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 can 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.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Net Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated revenues of $1,170, as compared to $4,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease revenue was due primarily to decrease sales of hemp cigarettes.
Cost of Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, cost of revenue was $1,225 and $1,764, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales.
Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was $(55) for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with $3,156 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Margin deterioration was driven by lower revenues and higher costs of goods.
Operating Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, total operating expenses were $292,657 and $148,922, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher professional and legal expenses related to regulatory filings and listing of our common stock.
Net Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net loss was $292,712 and $145,766, respectively. The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher professional and legal expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, and while the Company hopes to achieve profitable operations in the future, if not it may need to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, as well as its ability to raise capital. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to become profitable and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and/or manage operating expenses, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations.
To continue operations for the next 12 months, we will have a cash need of approximately $500,000. Should we not be able to fulfill our cash needs through the increase of revenue, we will need to raise money through outside investors through convertible notes, debt or similar instrument(s). The Company plans to pay off current liabilities through sales and increasing revenue through sales of Company services and or products, or through financing activities as mentioned above, although there is no guarantee that the Company will ultimately do so.
Advances from Officer
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company borrowed no additional funds from the Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, the promissory note due to him remains unchanged from December 31, 2022 and totals $735,050. The note does not bear interest and is due in a lump sum payment on May 31, 2023.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities – Net cash used in operating activities was $234,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of our net loss of $292,712. Net cash used in operating activities was $145,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of our net loss of $145,766.
Investing Activities
Cash flow used in investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $65,000 and related to investments made in two separate operating companies. There was no cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our financing activities provided cash of $415,021 primarily from the sale of the Company’s common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our financing activities provided cash of $145,000 resulting from additional borrowing from our Chief Executive Officer.
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 Condensed Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Condensed 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 Condensed 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the financial statements for discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023 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 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
None.
