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

 

Corporate History

 

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

 

Business

 

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 accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 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 condensed 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.

The accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 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 accompanying condensed 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy

 

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

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, and consist primarily of hemp products. The Company’s inventory as of September 30, 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 the lower of cost or market . No such adjustments were deemed necessary during the periods presented.

 

Investments

 

Investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment each balance sheet date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company wrote-off investments of $15,000 and $50,000 initially made under the terms of a separate Letter of Intent and Member Interest Purchase Agreement, respectively in companies that operate in the hemp market. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

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

Income taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

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

 

At September 30, 2023 and 2022, 47,258,606 and 37,103,394 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding, respectively. These share amounts are utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months then ended.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are reported under selling, general and administrative in the accompanying statements of operations. Such costs were $461,516 and $120,285 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $1,094,583 and $393,688 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Fair value measurements

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2023. The Derivative liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities for the period ended September 30. 2023:

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

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the notes payable and warrants based on assumptions used in the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial pricing model using the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.0406; risk-free interest rate of 5.46%; expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 689%; and exercise prices of $0.0182; and terms of nine to twelve months.

Common Stock

 

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

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 3,945,087 shares of its common stock in payment for various services provided. The shares had a fair value of $108,000 based on the closing market price of the common shares on the date of grant.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 5,060,125 common shares upon conversion of 202,405 shares of Class A preferred stock and sold 825,000 common shares at $0.50 per share for a total purchase price of $412,500.

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 56,632,599 shares of Class A preferred stock outstanding, of which 31,092,596 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 certain material rights and preferences (as is more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Class A Preferred Stock).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a total of 200,001 shares of Class A preferred stock was issued to the Company’s Vice President, Austen Lambrecht and one share of Class A preferred stock was issued to Greg Lambrecht and each of the two other members of the Company’s Board of Directors for services provided. The value of all these shares was determined to be $110,002 based on an assumed conversion at a one-for-25 ratio of the Class A preferred stock for common shares and the closing market price of the common shares on the date of grant.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 202,405 shares of Class A preferred stock were converted into 5,060,125 common shares. No shares of the Company’s Class A preferred stock were issued during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

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.

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 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 Agreements

 

In February 2023, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Austen Lambrecht. The agreement provides that Austen Lambrecht would serve as Vice President for a term of three years at an annual salary of Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000), with an incentive bonus and stock options 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. The agreement also provides for compensation under certain severance and change of control circumstance of twelve months of salary and other bonus dollars that may be due.

 

In May 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Greg Lambrecht.

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Net Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated revenues of $80 and $3,762, respectively. The decrease in revenues was directly related to the decrease in sales of hemp cigarettes.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, cost of revenue was $0 and $2,480, respectively.

 

Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, we had a gross profit of $80 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with a gross profit of $1,282 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Operating Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, total operating expenses were $461,516 and $120,285, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher legal and professional expenses related to regulatory filings and listing of our common stock, higher advertising and marketing spend associated with efforts to expand distribution of our product offerings and higher salaries and wages.

  

Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net loss was $503,808 and $119,003, respectively. The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses discussed above.

  

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Net Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated revenues of $1,553 and $13,064, respectively. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to the decrease in sales of hemp cigarettes.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, cost of revenue was $4,781 and $5,716, respectively.

 

Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, we had a negative gross profit of $(3,228) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with a gross profit of $7,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Operating Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, total operating expenses were $1,159,583 and $393,688, respectively.

Net Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net loss was $1,205,183 and $386,340, respectively. The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses as discussed above.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, and while the Company hopes to achieve profitable operations in the future, if not it may need to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, as well as its ability to raise capital. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to become profitable and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and/or manage operating expenses, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations.

 

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

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of 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 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of the notes to the condensed 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

Table of Contents

 

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

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the Company’s quarter ended September 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II–OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into a series of convertible promissory note agreements in the aggregate amount of $198,976. The notes have a 1-year term, bear interest of 8-9%, and have a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest trading price for the common stock during the ten-day period prior to the conversion date.

 

Each note was issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. We paid no selling commissions in connection with the issuances of the notes.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in payment for various services provided. The shares had a fair value of $25,000 based on the closing market price of the common shares on the date of grant.

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 100,000 common shares at $0.50 per share for a total purchase price of $50,000.

 

The shares above were issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. We paid no selling commissions in connection with the sales of the shares.
