CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are considered forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business, results of operations, economic performance and/or financial condition, based on management’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

 

  strategy;
  new product discovery and development;
  current or pending clinical trials;
  our products’ ability to demonstrate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile;
  actions by regulatory authorities;
  product manufacturing, including our arrangements with third-party suppliers;
  product introduction and sales;
  royalties and contract revenues;
  expenses and net income;
  credit and foreign exchange risk management;
  liquidity;
  asset and liability risk management;
  the outcome of litigation and other proceedings;
  intellectual property rights and protection;
  economic factors;
  competition; and
  legal risks.

 

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “aims,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “will continue,” “seeks,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “probable,” “possible” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Organization

 

We were originally incorporated as WrapMail, Inc. in Florida on October 11, 2005 in order to tap into a largely un-serviced segment of the web-based advertising industry. Effective January 5, 2015, WRAP acquired 100% ownership of Prosperity Systems, Inc., a New York corporation incorporated on April 2, 2008, in order to acquire Prosperity’s office productivity software suite as a complement to WRAP’s existing intellectual property. After its acquisition, the Company transferred Prosperity’s operations to WRAP; however, the Company does not currently actively operate its WRAP or Prosperity divisions pending decision on whether to hold on to, sell or repurpose such assets.

 

Around the first quarter of 2017, the Company began to transition into the health and wellness space, including the development, processing and sale of hemp derived products, and now operates three distinct divisions: retail sales, R&D and manufacturing, and durable medical devices. The Company also has a hemp cultivation division which is currently non-operational.

 

On May 15, 2017, WRAP changed its name to Canbiola, Inc. to reflect its transition. On March 6, 2020 CANB changed its name to “Can B̅ Corp.” in order to segregate its corporate identity from its lead products branded under the Canbiola™ brand.

 

Effective December 27, 2010, WRAP effected a 10 for 1 forward stock split of its common stock. Effective June 4, 2013, WRAP effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of its common stock. On March 6, 2020, Can B̅ effected a 1 for 300 reverse stock split of its common stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect these stock splits. On March 13, 2022, the Company effectuated a 1 for 15 reverse split of its stock.

 

Business Segments

 

The Company is in the business of promoting health and wellness through its development, manufacture and sale of products containing cannabinoids derived from hemp biomass and the licensing of durable medical devises.

 

Hemp is thought to contain anywhere from 60 to over 100 naturally occurring compounds (cannabinoids) thought to interact with cannabinoid receptors present on the surface of cells in various parts of the central nervous system. The effects of cannabinoids are thought to depend on the area of the brain involved. Cannabidiol (“CBD”) is probably one of the most well-known of these compounds, thought to have many beneficial uses. CBD is incorporated into many of the Company’s products; however, the Company has recently begun extracting and processing cannabinol (“CBN”), cannabigerol (“CBG”), delta-10 and delta-8 for its products and for wholesale to third-parties looking to incorporate such compounds into their products. The Company has all of its hemp based raw materials to incorporate into products tested by a 3rd party independent laboratory. The Company aims to be the premier provider of the highest quality natural hemp cannabinoid products on the market through sourcing the very best raw material and developing a variety of products it believes will improve people’s lives in a variety of areas.

 

  I- Pure Health Products

 

Pure Health Products, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“PHP” or “Pure Health Products”) is the Company’s manufacturing arm. PHP manufactures all of the Company’s CBD products and also provides white label manufacturing and production services to third parties and performs research and development for the Company. Through PHP, the Company is able to control the manufacturing process of its products while reducing its production costs. Pasquale Ferro is the president of PHP.

 

In December, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Pure Health Products, with which it had had and has an exclusive production agreement, pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (“PHP Acquisition Agreement”). In January, 2019, PHP acquired certain assets from Seven Chakras, LLC (“Seven Chakras”), a former competitor, which assets included the rights and title to (i) Seven Chakras’ proprietary formulas, methods, trade secrets, and know-how related to the production of Seven Chakras’ CBD products, (ii) Seven Chakras’ tradename, domain name, and social media sites, and (iii) other assets of Seven Chakras including but not limited to raw materials, equipment, packaging and labeling materials, mailing lists, and marketing materials.

 

4

 

 

The Company currently has four in-house branded CBD products that are manufactured by PHP and sold to consumers, Canbiola™, Nu Wellness™, Seven Chakras™ and Pure Leaf Oil™.

 

The Company’s Canbiola™ CBD products are sold via medical professionals under distribution agreements and directly by the Company via its website and vending machines. The Canbiola™ assets are held directly by the Company and include tinctures, soaps, bath soaks, cryo-gel, salves, massage oils, powders, capsules and roll-ons.

 

The Company’s Pure Leaf Oil™ assets are held by PHP. Pure Leaf Oil™ CBD products are sold via PHP’s website, direct to consumer via walk-in business, and through distributors and are meant for retail customers not referred through the medical community. Pure Leaf Oil™ products include massage oils, joint salves, bath salts, nano sprays, drops, and cryo-gels. PHP also holds the assets related to its Seven Chakras™ brand. Seven Chakras™ is targeted toward health clubs, spas, and beauty lines and CBD products include lotion, massage oils, roll-ons, isolate, powders, capsules, and bath soaks. Severn Chakras™ has its own internet website and direct markets to its customer base.

 

PHP has also created a new brand, Nu Wellness™, which it intends to market through distributors as an independent pharmacy brand targeted towards independent retail drug stores. Nu Wellness™ has yet to launch or make sales, which are intended to occur sometime in 2022.

 

All finished products are stored for time- quality measurement, and each batch of every product is sent to an independent third-party lab for a Certificate of Analysis (“COA”) of the finished products. These COA’s are both listed on our web site and available via the QR code on every retail package.

 

  II- Hemp Operating Division

 

The Company’s hemp operating division performs R&D for the Company including for CBN, CBG, delta-8 and delta-10. It also produces industrial hemp and processes hemp biomass, isolate and isomers.

 

Around March 17, 2021, the Company acquired assets through its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Botanical Biotech, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“BB” or “Botanical Biotech”). Such assets include certain materials and manufacturing equipment and marketing or promotional designs, brochures, advertisements, concepts, literature, books, media rights, rights against any other person or entity in respect of any of the foregoing and all other promotional properties, in each case primarily used, developed or acquired by the Sellers for use in connection with the ownership and operation of the BB Assets.

 

Around August 12, 2021, the Company and CO Botanicals LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CANB (“COB”) acquired hemp processing assets from TWS Pharma, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company and L7 TWS Pharma, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company. COB operates out of Mead, CO.

 

Around August 13, 2021 the Company and TN Botanicals LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CANB (“TNB”) acquired assets from Music City Botanicals, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“MCB”) including certain equipment, inventory, and intellectual property. TNB operates out of Mcminville, TN.

 

From its Miami lab, the Company processes hemp isolate into isomers such as CBN, CBG, delta-8 and delta-10. At its Tennessee location, the Company produces industrial hemp, processes hemp biomass to isolate, processes isolate to isomers such as CBN, CBG, delta-8 and delta-10, and performs research and development on cannabinoids such as such as CBN, CBG, delta-8, delta-10, CBD and CBDA. At its Colorado facilities, the Company produces industrial hemp and processes hemp biomass to isolate. The biomass and isolate processed by the Company may be produced by the Company or purchased from third parties. All of the Company’s end products contain .3% or less of THC (delta-9).

 

The Company is also in the process of building out an event/consumption lounge at its Miami lab for showcasing its products and building brand awareness. It is intended that he lounge will attract corporate executives, socialites, influencers and celebrities as a place where they can hang out and sample the Company’s products, including vapes and edibles (each non-THC). The lounge will have 1,500 sqft indoor space and a 1,000 sqft patio. The lounge will have a plug and play surround sound system, 140 inch hi-def 4k bridged TVs and host podcasts, karaoke, and DJ with stage capabilities and will offer bar grub and food truck menus. The Company has also executed a contract with a developer to build and operate additional lounges across the country, subject to certain terms and conditions, including the success of the Miami lounge once open.

 

  III- Durable Medical Equipment

 

Through its medical device division, Duramed, Inc. (“Duramed”) and Duramed MI LLC, a Nevada limited liability company fka DuramedNJ, LLC (“Duramed MI”), the Company serves the post-surgery medical patient arena aiming to aid in recovery and pain reduction.

 

5

 

 

In November 2018, the Company formed Duramed, Inc. to facilitate the manufacture and sale of durable medical equipment (“DME”) incorporating CBD. On January 14, 2019, Duramed entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Sam MOU”) with Sam International (“Sam”) and ZetrOZ Systems LLC (“ZetrOZ” and, collectively with Sam, the “Manufacturers”). Pursuant to the Sam MOU, the Manufacturers granted Duramed the exclusive right to distribute sam® Pro 2.0 (SA271) and sam® Gel Coupling Patches (UB-14-72) within the United States for the Personal Injury Protection/No Fault Market during the term of the Sam MOU. Duramed has agreed to purchase monthly minimums from the Manufacturers at a price per Unit of $2,447. The exclusivity of the Distribution License granted to Duramed under the Sam MOU was dependent upon meeting the monthly minimum, which did not happen. In addition, Duramed was granted the right to distribute sam® Gel Capture Patches (UB-14-24). Duramed will get rebates of 2%-3% based on the volume of products sold by it. We did not meet the monthly minimums as contemplated by the Sam MOU and as such we are currently distributing the aforementioned products on an at-will, non-exclusive basis.

 

On May 29, 2019, the Company created Duramed MI to execute the same business strategy into the no-fault insurance market in New Jersey that it had developed in New York; however, Duramed MI is not currently operating in NJ and is in the process of moving its operations to Michigan, which have not begun yet. None of Duramed’s products are reimbursable under any federal program.

 

  IV- Green Grow Farms

 

Green Grow Farms, Inc., a New York corporation (“GGFI” or “Green Grow”) served as the Company’s hemp cultivation arm. Through GGFI, the Company grew its own hemp in New York and partnered with third party growers in other states whereby GGFI provided the farmers with seed and training and splits profits with the farmers. GGFI was to supply the Company with all hemp needed for the Company to produce its CBD products, which hemp would be processed by a third party and shipped to the Company’s production facility in Lacey, WA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, currently, it is less expensive to buy crude oil and isolate than to produce such from hemp grown by the Company. Accordingly, the Company has stopped its Green Grow operations in favor of buying raw products from third parties. If and when it makes economic sense to grow its own hemp again, the Company will resume Green Grow operations.

 

  V- Imbibe Wellness Solutions

 

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase additional CBD brand assets from Imbibe Health Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The assets have been placed into the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Imbibe Wellness Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (fka Radical Tactical LLC) (“Imbibe Wellness”), and include the intellectual property rights, including trademarks, logos, know how, formulations, productions procedures, copyrights, social media accounts, domain names and marketing materials relating to the Imbibe™ branded products, including a muscle and joint salve, unscented fizzy bath soak, CALM massage oil, Me x 3 Metabolic Energy (energy and dietary supplement), and Muscle, Joints & Back CBD Cryo Gel. Imbibe Wellness is intended to develop and sell specific celebrity endorsed products and products promoted through influencer branding, which brands are expected to launch in 2022. Walter Hoelzel is the president of Imbibe Wellness.

 

FDA DISCLAIMER

 

The statements found herein have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Company’s products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition.

 

Competitive Conditions

 

The CBD and cannabis markets are flooded with competition ranging from mom and pop operations to multi-million-dollar conglomerates, many with longer operating histories, more capital and/or more industry knowledge than the Company. The Company hopes to partner with or engage industry specialists to help set it apart from its numerous competitors. The Company believes that one of those points of differentiation will be its 3rd party independent testing “Certificate of Analysis” conducted on all of the CBD isolate products it purchases and posting of those lab results on its website. The three largest CBD companies known to the Company are Elixinol LLC, a UK based company with $37 million revenue, GW Pharmaceuticals also UK based with $19 million revenue, and Aurora Cannabis based in Canada with just over $19 million revenue. The top USA companies include Medical Marijuana, CV Sciences, Gaia Herbs, and Charlotte’s Web with respective revenues of $59, $48, $45, and $17 million. Worthy of note is that Charlotte’s Web is on the shelf right next to us at Northwell Health.

 

Hemp biomass and its derivative products have glutted the US market, benefiting our manufacturing divisions with less expensive product but causing our hemp cultivation and processing division to become financially imprudent until the oversupply issue has resolved. Thus, we have halted operations in such division for the time being but may resume such operations should a sound opportunity present. Although we have contract farm agreements in place to grow and harvest hemp biomass, other raw materials for our finished products have at least three sources of supply in the open market and we have little risk of any ingredient supply at this time.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company employs, through its Pure Health Product LLC division, two full time product researchers and developers and technology experts who, on a daily basis, set the quality standards and new product development status and time-line agendas under the direct supervision of the Company’s management team.

 

The Company has not been granted any patents or trademarks by the USPTO or by any patent or trademark office of a foreign nation.

Employees

 

The Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, currently has 68 full-time employees.

Government Regulation

 

The cultivation and sale of hemp and hemp products is federally regulated under the United States Farm Bill. The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp as a Schedule 1 Substance under the Controlled Substances Act; however, rules and regulations relating to manufacture and sale of CBD and other hemp derivative products under the Farm Bill must still be promulgated and are expected to impact the Company’s operations. As the industry and our product lines expand, it is uncertain what other statutory schemes and agencies will start to regulate our products. The FDA currently still considers the addition of CBD to food products, cosmetics or supplements to be illegal and prohibits the advertisement of CBD products with health claims. The Company must also comply with each state’s laws relating to the sale and manufacture, as applicable, of hemp-based products, with some states allowing the sale of cannabinoid products, some states limiting to medical purposes and some states banning outright. These regulations may affect, among others, the way the Company manufactures and distributes its products, the way the Company is taxed, the way the Company banks, the location of the Company’s facilities, the content and testing of the Company’s products, and the quality of the Company’s services. The Company has not sought or received approval of any of its products from the FDA or any state agency. Should the Company be sanctioned by the FDA or state agencies, it could materially, negatively impact the Company’s operations and revenue sources.

 

We are also subject to general business regulations and laws as well as Federal and state regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet and e-commerce. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce or other online services, and increase the cost of providing online services. These regulations and laws may cover sweepstakes, taxation, tariffs, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, use and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may harm our business and results of operations. CBD sales are additionally state regulated for shipping and the Company maintains a current list.

Item 2. Properties

 

The Company does not currently own any real property. We do however lease office space in Hicksville, New York for $3,917 per month, out of which all subsidiaries other than PHP operate. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pure Health Products, operates its manufacturing facility in Lacey, Washington with lease payments equal to $2,345 per month. The Company has leases for three (3) properties, as described below.

 

The Company leases approximately 7,408 square feet of the property located at 2041 NW 1st Avenue, Miami, FL 33127 (the “1st Property”). Base rent for the 1st Property is $16,000 per month, or $192,000 for the first year, except that if CANB pays the base rent in advance, the base rent amount for the first year will be reduced to $186,000. The base rent will increase by 5% each year during the term of the lease.

 

The Company leases an approximately 14,300 square foot building and related parcel located at 14320 Longs Peak Court, Mead, CO 80504 (the “LPC Property”) for base rent equal to $13,764 for the first year of the lease. Following the first year of the lease, on September 1 of each year, the base rent for the LPC Property will be increased by the greater of (i) 3%, or (ii) the difference between the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) (“CPI”) for August 2021 compared to the CPI for August of the applicable year.

 

CANB leases an approximately 300,000 square foot facility situated on approximately 20 acres of industrial rated property located at 204 Red Road, McMinnville, TN 307110 (the “RR Property”) for base rent equal to $25,000 per month. The Company was granted an option to purchase the RR Property for a purchase price equal to fair market and appraised value and a right of first refusal to purchase the RR Property in the event the landlord receives a third-party offer to purchase the RR Property during the term of the lease.

 

CO Botanicals, LLC (“COB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Can B̅ Corp. leases the real properties located at 17171 County Road 21, Fort Morgan, CO 80701 and 12555 Energy Road, Fort Morgan, CO 80701 (collectively, the “Fort Morgan Properties”) on a month-to-month basis. Base rent for the Fort Morgan Properties is $22,250 per month.

 

Duramed leases an approximately 1,800 square feet office space located at 24901 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, MI. The lease term is for 18 months. Base rent for the lease term is $1,914 per month, or $22,963 for the first year. The base rent increases to $2,028 for the final six months.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

On April 28, 2021, the Company was served with a commercial legal action against the Company and certain officers by David Weissberg and Donna Marino, who are investors in the Company (collectively, the “Investors”). The complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, Index No. 605191/2021. The complaint alleges four causes of action.

 

The first cause of action alleges that the Company breached Securities Purchase Agreements with the Investors by failing to assist the Investors in getting opinion letters to remove the restrictive legends from their shares, even though the Company made introductions and requests to the Company’s counsel, provided supporting documents for the Investor’s shares, and ultimately the opinion letters could not be rendered because the Investors failed to submit required documentation to counsel.

 

The second cause of action is similar to the first but related to alleged misrepresentations regarding removing the restrictive legends from shares that were issued for services rather than purchased.

 

The third cause of action alleges that the Company mislead the Investors to invest $500,000. The final cause of action alleges that officers of the Company made misrepresentations regarding the value of the Company’s stock, which caused David Weissberg to owe more in taxes than he was expecting.

 

We have consulted with attorneys and believe the Investors’ complaints are without merit, factually inaccurate, and frivolous. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the aforementioned legal action and will likely bring counterclaims against the Investors.

Around November 24, 2021, a vendor of the Company filed amended suit against the Company in Florida, Case No. 2021 CA 001797, for monies allegedly owed and civil theft relating to such monies and related products and fraud in the inducement. We do not believe we owe such vendor any amount. The court has entered a default judgement against the Company for our failure to timely answer the complaint, which default has since been overturned.

 

Other than above, we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings in which we are involved.

Record Holders

 

As of April 13, 2022, there were 3,325,814 shares of common stock issued and outstanding to approximately 392 shareholders of record.

 

Dividends

 

The Company paid $0 in in-kind dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock by the issuance of common stock to the Series B holders in 2020 and 2019. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has the first preference to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company, and is entitled to an accrued cumulative but not compounding dividend at the rate of 5% per annum whether or not declared. After six months of the issuance date, such share and any accrued but unpaid dividends can be converted into common stock at the conversion price which is the lower of (i) $0.0101; or (ii) the lower of the dollar volume weighted average price of CANB common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion day or the dollar volume weighted average price of CANB common stock on the conversion day. The Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights. There are no currently outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock*.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Except for its Series B Preferred Stock, of which there are none issued and outstanding*, the payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock other than those generally imposed by applicable state law.

 

* It has come to our attention that the Company’s transfer agent still shows 227,590 Series B Preferred shares as being held by RedDiamond Partners LLC (“RedDiamond”) due to an administrative oversight. Nonetheless, such shares were retired in exchange for 97,608 shares of common stock and rights to acquire an additional 35,667 shares of common stock issued to RedDiamond pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated August 13, 2019.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

On July 28, 2020, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan (“ISO”). The purpose of this Can B Corp. 2020 ISO (the “Plan”) is to attract, retain, and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its Related Companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to align their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2021 compared with Year Ended December 31, 2020:

 

Revenues increased $2,894,160 from $1,709,669 in 2020 to $4,603,829 in 2021. The increase is due to the wind down of restrictions related to the Covid-19 Pandemic surrounding elective surgeries, enabling an increase in the usage of the Company’s Duramed product lines and ultrasound device associated with patient recovery. Additionally, due to asset acquisitions in 2021, the Company’s Music City Botanical and Botanical Biotech brands related to an increase of sales compared to 2020 of $1,709,669. Cost of product sales increased $1,333,668 from $278,062 in 2020 to $1,611,730 in 2021 in conjunction with the increase in revenue and production in 2021.

 

Consulting fees increased $2,198,334 from $778,062 in 2020 to $2,976,396 in 2021. The 2021 expense amount includes legal, accounting, and other consulting fees and services incurred during the year ending December 31, 2021.

Other operating expenses increased $576,036 from $876,431 in 2020 to $1,452,467 in 2021. The increase was due largely to higher commission fees, supplies expense and office expenses in 2021 compared to 2020. In addition, stock-based compensation expense was approximately $2,395,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Net loss increased $3,290,491 from $8,878,904 in 2020 to $12,169,395 in 2021. The increase was due to all factors discussed above and in addition an increase of $1,167,510 in interest expense.

It is anticipated that Green Grow will again begin operations later in 2022 as Pure Health Products revenue increases and the need for additional isolate is present. Today, the available oversupply of isolate makes it cheaper to buy quality product at the market than to grow, harvest, and extract from scratch. Duramed, Inc. is beginning to show improvements in office utilization of its ultrasound device as more surgery centers are reopening.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the report of BF Borgers CPA PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth on pages F-1 through F-25 of this Annual Report.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the CEO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. This determination was based on the small size of our accounting staff and the lack of segregation of duties.

 

To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

13

 

 

Any internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Accordingly, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, and the absence of an audit committee, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principle, which creates a material weakness. A material weakness is 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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness means there is a risk that our financial reports or other filings may contain an error or inaccuracy or not submitted timely.

 

There was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company did not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely fashion. We expect that the Company will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company’s business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements not being prevented or detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock; or
  any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in- laws) of any of the above persons.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Can B Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Can B Corp. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. 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 Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

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

 

Our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

 

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

 

Can B̅ Corp. was originally incorporated as WrapMail, Inc. (“WRAP”) in Florida on October 11, 2005. On May 15, 2017, WRAP changed its name to Canbiola, Inc. On January 16, 2020 Canbiola, Inc. changed its name to Can B̅ Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “CANB”, “Can B̅” or “Registrant”).

 

The Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Pure Health Products, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“PHP” or “Pure Health Products”) effective December 28, 2018. The Company runs it manufacturing operations through PHP and holds and sells several of its brands through PHP as well. The Company’s durable equipment products, such as sam® units with and without CBD infused pads, are marketed and sold through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Duramed Inc. (incorporated on November 29, 2018) and Duramed MI LLC (fka DuramedNJ, LLC) (incorporated on May 29, 2019) (collectively, “Duramed”). Duramed began operating on or about February 1, 2019. Most of the Company’s consumer products include hemp derived cannabidiol (“CBD”); however, the Company has just recently begun extracting cannabinol (“CBN”) and cannabigerol (“CBG”) for wholesale to third-parties looking to incorporate such compounds into their products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Botanical Biotech, LLC (incorporated March 10, 2021), TN Botanicals, LLC and CO Botanicals LLC (both incorporated in August 2021). These three subsidiaries have also begun synthesizing Delta-8 and Delta-10 from hemp. Delta-8 and Delta-10 can produce similar, though less potent, effects as delta-9 (commonly referred to as THC); however, the legality of hemp derived Delta-8 and Delta-10 are in a gray area and considered a potential loophole at this point due to the 2018 hemp bill. The Company’s other subsidiaries did not have operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company is in the business of promoting health and wellness through its development, manufacture and sale of products containing cannabinoids derived from hemp biomass and the licensing of durable medical devises. Can B̅’s products include oils, creams, moisturizers, isolate, gel caps, spa products, and concentrates and lifestyle products. Can B̅ develops its own line of proprietary products as well seeks synergistic value through acquisitions in the hemp industry. Can B̅ aims to be the premier provider of the highest quality hemp derived products on the market through sourcing the best raw material and offering a variety of products we believe will improve people’s lives in a variety of areas.

 

Note 2 – Liquidity

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in a normal course of business. As of December 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $449,001 and negative working capital of $2,809,418. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had incurred losses of $12,169,395 and $8,878,904, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to improve its financial condition by raising capital through the sale of shares of its common stock. Also, the Company plans to expand its operation of CBD products to increase its profitability. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

On February 8, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, or the 2021 Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the 2021 Reverse Stock Split, every 15 shares of the Company’s pre-2021 Reverse Stock Split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s common stock.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of Can B Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Covid-19

 

Commencing in December 2019, the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began spreading throughout the world, including the first outbreak in the US in February 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 has disrupted and continues to significantly disrupt local, regional, and global economies and businesses. The

 

COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on the Company’s customers, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations is uncertain.

 

In response to COVID-19, the Company put into place certain restrictions, requirements and guidelines to protect the health of its employees and clients, including requiring that certain conditions be met before employees return to the Company’s offices. Also, to protect the health and safety of its employees, the Company’s daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. The Company plans to continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that it determines to be in the interests of its employees, customers, and partners.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 sales (or revenues) and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that estimates made as of the date of the financial statements could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, recognition and measurement of income tax assets, valuation of share-based compensation, and the valuation of net assets acquired.

 

Asset Acquisitions

 

When applicable, the Company accounts for the acquisition of a business in accordance with the accounting standards codification (“ASC”) guidance for business combinations, whereby the total purchase consideration transferred is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, when applicable, based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination.

 

Assigning estimated fair values to the net assets acquired requires the use of significant estimates, judgments, inputs, and assumptions regarding the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally based on available historical information, independent valuations or appraisals, future expectations, and assumptions determined to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain with respect to future events, including economic conditions, competition, the useful life of the acquired assets, and other factors. The company may refine the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if necessary, over a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition by taking into consideration new information that, if known at the date of acquisition, would have affected the estimated fair values ascribed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life and depreciation or amortization method of each asset, can materially impact the net earnings of the periods subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. During the measurement period, any purchase price allocation changes that impact the carrying value of goodwill affects any measurement of goodwill impairment taken during the measurement period, if applicable. If necessary, purchase price allocation revisions that occur outside of the measurement period are recorded within cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expense within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings depending on the nature of the adjustment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather, any excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date and any direct acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criterial standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given, whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts.

 

Private Label Customers are wholesale distributors of the Company’s product, under their own wholesale private label brand. The products are made to Company specifications and shipped directly to the wholesaler. The pricing is predicated upon a volume discount negotiated at the time of the placement of the orders. Product is produced and labeled in the Washington manufacturing facility and shipped directly to the Private Label customer who re-distributes to their retail and other customers. The products are fully paid when shipped.

 

Revenue from product sales is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s Duramed Division provides a sam® Pro 2.0 medical device to patients through a doctor program whereby the physician evaluates the patients’ needs for medical necessity, and if determined that the device use would be beneficial, writes a prescription for the patient who signs a rental form, for a 35-day cycle for the unit, that is submitted to Duramed who bills the appropriate insurance company. The insurance company pays the invoice, or a negotiated amount via arbitration, and that revenue is reported as revenue when invoiced to the insurance carrier. The collected amount is reconciled with the invoice amount on a daily basis.

 

Freight billed to customers is included within sales on the consolidated statement of operations. The related freight charged to the Company is included within cost of revenues. Sales tax collected from customers is remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The cost of revenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods sold, and the Company’s policy is to recognize it in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. Cost of revenues primarily consist of the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the production, packaging and labeling of our CBD products.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivables, net

 

Trade receivables arise from granting credit to customers in the normal course of business, are unsecured and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a number of factors, including the length of time the receivable is past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay, and the general condition of the economy and industry as a whole. Depending on the customer, payment is due between 30 and 60 days after the customer receives an invoice. Accounts that are more than 45 days past due are individually analyzed for collectability. When all collection efforts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off. Historically, the Company has not suffered significant losses with respect to its trade receivables.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which consist of purchased components for resale, are valued at the lower of average cost (which approximates the first-in, first-out method) and net realizable value. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventory for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.

 

Long-lived assets

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and presented net of accumulated depreciation. Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed. Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

 

Definite-lived intangible assets arising from asset acquisitions include intellectual property, patents, trademarks, and certain hemp processing registrations. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to

 

be generated by that asset group. If the asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recorded to adjust the carrying amounts to the estimated fair value. No such impairment was recorded during the periods covered by this report.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in December, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates. As of December 31, 2021, the Company operated as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating goodwill impairment.

 

The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. If, based on the qualitative test, the Company determines that it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a goodwill impairment test using quantitative assessments must be performed. If it is determined that it is “not likely” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required.

The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the estimated fair value of the Company would be compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the estimated fair value of the Company is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the Company and it would need to perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss would be recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill over its fair value. Fair value of the Company under the two-step assessment is determined using a combination of both income and market-based approaches. No goodwill impairments were identified for the periods covered by this report.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. In arrangements that involve an identified asset, there is also judgment in evaluating if we have the right to direct the use of that asset.

 

The Company does not have any finance leases. Operating leases are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term, determined using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. Because the rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate, which approximates the interest rate at which we could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments and in similar economic environments. As of December 31, 2021, our leases had remaining lease terms of up to 4 years, some of which included options to extend the lease for up to 14 years and options to terminate the lease within 1 year. Optional periods to extend the lease, including by not exercising a termination option, are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components, principally common area maintenance for our facilities leases, as a single lease component.

 

In accordance with accounting requirements, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are recorded on the balance sheet, with lease expense for these leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the change. Further, deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected realization of available net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded on gross deferred tax assets when it is “more likely than not” that such asset will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future earnings. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if a valuation allowance is required based upon these factors. Changes in the Company’s assessment of the need for a valuation allowance could give rise to a change in such allowance, potentially resulting in additional expense or benefit in the period of change.

 

The Company’s income tax provision or benefit includes U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and is based on pre-tax income or loss. In determining the annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzed various factors, including its annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings were generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, and its ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards.

Under ASC 740, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state, local,

 

and foreign tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state authorities in accordance with prescribed statutes.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company determines the estimated grant-date fair value of restricted shares using the closing price on the date of the grant and the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The Company recognizes compensation costs ratably over the period of service using the straight-line method.

 

Due to the limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, estimated volatility was based on a peer group of public companies and took into consideration the increased short-term volatility in historical data due to COVID-19.

 

Net loss per common share

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting periods, including vested but undelivered stock options.

 

Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods plus the effect, if any, of the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants and restricted stock units that would cause the issuance of additional shares of common stock. In computing the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders during the periods listed in the consolidated statements of operations, the weighted average number of shares are the same for both basic and diluted net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. An anti-dilutive impact is an increase in earnings per share or a decrease in net loss per share that would result from the conversion, exercise, or issuance of certain contingent securities.

 

Concentration of business and credit risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash held by the Company, in financial institutions, regularly exceeds the federally insured limit of $250,000. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, cash balances held with a financial institution exceeded the federally insured limit. However, management does not believe this poses a significant credit risk.

 

No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable in each of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

 

  Level 1 — inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
  Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
  Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, and tangible and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed annually for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values, principally due to their short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates.

 

Advertising and vendor considerations

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, manages the Company as a single profit center in order to promote collaboration, provide comprehensive service offerings across the entire customer base, and provide incentives to employees based on the success of the organization as a whole. Although certain information regarding selected products or services is discussed for purposes of promoting an understanding of the Company’s business, the chief operating decision maker manages the Company and allocates resources at the consolidated level.

Note 4 – Asset Acquisitions

 

Botanical Biotech Asset Acquisition

 

On March 11, 2021, Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement, which was fully executed on March 17, 2021, with multiple sellers (each, a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell certain assets to Company, and to transfer such assets to Botanical Biotech, LLC, a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Transferee” or “BB”). The assets purchased (“BB Assets”) include certain materials and manufacturing equipment, marketing or promotional designs, brochures, advertisements, concepts, literature, books, media rights, rights against any other person or entity in respect of any of the foregoing and all other promotional properties, in each case primarily used, developed or acquired by the Sellers for use in connection with the ownership and operation of the BB Assets. In exchange for the BB Assets the Company will pay the Seller a maximum of $355,057, payable half in the form of cash or cash equivalent and half in the form of restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the common stock of the Company during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Sellers for certain breaches of covenants, representations and warranties and for claims relating to the BB Assets following closing.

 

In conjunction with the BB asset acquisition, the Company entered into employment agreements with two sellers.

 

The Company and BB entered into an employment agreement with Lebsock dated March 11, 2021 (the “Lebsock Agreement”) pursuant to which Lebsock will serve as the President of BB for a term of three (3) years. The term of the Lebsock Agreement will automatically renew for an additional 3-year term unless other terminated by either party.

 

Lebsock will receive a base salary equal to $120,000 per year, subject to an annual increase of not less than 3% on each anniversary of the Lebsock Agreement during the term. The Company also agreed to issue a stock bonus to Lebsock in accordance with the Company’s Incentive Stock Option Plan (“ISOP”) in an amount of $100,000, and to pay Lebsock a defined percentage of the EBITDA for BB each calendar quarter (“Profit Split”) according to a mutually agreed performance target (“Target”). EBITDA is defined as the earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and will be paid as reported by the Company’s accountant and as reviewed by the Company’s auditor. It will be accumulative on a quarter-to-quarter basis, meaning if one quarter has a negative EBITDA, it would be offset against the following quarter’s positive EBITDA distribution. Lebsock has the option to accept the Profit Split in either direct cash payment or Shares, or any combination, at Lebsock’s option. Shares would be valued at the prior 10-day closing price and issued under SEC Rule 144 restriction.

 

Effective March 16, 2021, BB entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Schlosser Agreement”) with Schlosser pursuant to which Schlosser has agreed to provide consulting services to BB for a period of 3 months in exchange for compensation equal to $10,000 per month. Schlosser will also be entitled to reimbursement for certain work-related expenses. Pursuant to the Schlosser Agreement, Schlosser also agreed to assign to BB all inventions developed by Schlosser in connection with his services to BB. The Schlosser Agreement also contains certain non-compete and confidentiality provisions. Per the Acquisition Agreement, Schlosser was to receive an employment agreement similar to the Lebsock Agreement; however, BB and Schlosser elected to enter into the Schlosser Agreement instead.

Note 10 – Stock Options

 

The Company has an employee share option plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Share awards generally vest over five years.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because lattice-based option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

   December 31, 2021   December 31, 2020 
Per share fair value at grant date  $8.02   $7.65 
Risk free interest rate   1.02    0.41 
Expected volatility   201%   168%
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Expected life in years   5    5 

 

A summary of stock options activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

   Option Shares   Weighted Average Exercise Price   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) 
Outstanding, January 1, 2021   79,147   $5.37    3.92

Note 11 – Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
State franchise tax  $1,075   $3,304 

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of certain expenses being deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes, the existence of research and development tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, and adjustments to previously recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.

 

The difference in the provision for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rates consists of the following:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Expected income tax benefit  $(2,034,215)  $(1,200,467)
State franchise tax   1,075    3,304 
Non-deductible stock-based compensation   252,205    474,428 
Non-deductible stock-based interest   41,856    94,853 
Increase in deferred income tax assets valuation allowance   1,740,154    631,186 
Provision for income taxes  $1,075   $3,304 

 

Principal components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2021     2020  
Net operating loss carryfoward   $ (3,671,509)     $ (1,931,355)  
Valuation allowance     3,671,509       1,931,335  
Net   $ 0     $ 0  

 

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17,483,000 that begin to expire in 2025.

  

The Company files a federal income tax return and separate income tax returns in various states. For federal and certain states, the 2018 through 2021 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations.

 

The Company assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant component of objective negative evidence identified during management’s evaluation was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2021. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our forecasts of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. On the basis of this evaluation as of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, pursuant to ASC 740, as of December 31, 2021. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that no uncertain tax positions existed as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
