Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward- looking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, including those set forth under "Forward- Looking Statements."
Plan of Operation
1606 Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), was incorporated in Nevada in February 2021 and spun-off from Singlepoint Inc. in April 2021. Management believes the assumptions made to carve out the Company's underlying standalone financial statements from the consolidated Singlepoint results prior to the April 2021 spin-off are reasonable.
In August 2023, we achieved our goal of creating a chatbot using AI technology to be placed on CBD retailers' and brands' websites. This chatbot is able to answer questions specifically tailored to the CBD industry and can be trained on client specific questions as well as trained to accommodate other industries. In addition to the ability to answer questions, the bot can use answers and customer feedback to recommend a product from the list uploaded by the client.
On August 17, 2023, we engaged AR XTLabs to help in development of an AI chatbot specifically designed for the CBD industry. The chatbot offers CBD and wellness merchants the ability to increase sales by providing product recommendations, track user behavior for inventory management, and ChatCBDW can also provide information on products and education around the clock. Our bot was built on Microsoft Azure by AR XTLabs, a state-of-the-art development company in the AI space. ChatCBDW is a proprietary bot fully integrated with ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. This integration equips ChatCBDW with natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning capabilities, allowing lifelike conversations and intelligent product recommendations. It's designed to drive sales, educate audiences on products, and provide analytics on customer preferences and behavior, contributing to inventory management. The chat technology is enhanced through a patent possible process that tailors product recommendations to merchant specifications.
In September 2023, we partnered with Cool Blue Distribution, a leading CBD distributor, to better expand our CBD expertise and gain access hundreds of retailers and brands. The Company agreed to install the bot on Cool Blue's website as the first beta tester of our new chatbot.
On October 31, 2023, we announced that the beta version of our ChatCBDW bot was live on our site as well as cool blue Distributions website. We are working towards getting CBD brands and retailers to sign up for the bot on a monthly basis.
We are focused on signing business to use the chatbot with a monthly recuring licensing fee model. We are using a combination of our website, online ads, and email campaigns targeted towards CBD brands and retailers, we have cultivated considerable interest in 1606 and our AI Chatbot technology.
We are also using ISO's or independent sales organizations to sell the Chatbot or include it in a package deal with their products. These ISO's include but are not limited to CBD Distributors, website designers and builders, and payment processing services within and outside the CBD industry.
On April 30, 2024, we announced the completion of our second AI bot made for public companies. Chat IR is a bot made to go on public companies' websites and answers questions about the company's operations and disclosures.

On September 4, 2024, we announced that we signed a nonbinding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire a strategic stake in Adnexus, a company at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence innovations in early drug discovery and infectious disease research. This LOI has expired and the Company has no plans to move forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we have yet to achieve profitable operations, and while we hope to achieve profitable operations in the future, if not, we 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 our ability to continue as a going concern. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, as well as our ability to raise capital. Our operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if we 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, we may not be able to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue in existence is dependent on our 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). Our plans to pay off current liabilities through sales and increasing revenue through sales of our services and or products, or through financing activities as mentioned above, although there is no guarantee that we will ultimately do so.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Notes to the Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company has certain financial instruments that are derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.
When a convertible note that contains a bi-furcated derivative is converted, it is not considered to be a convertible note for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on the conversion as a debt extinguishment gain or loss based on the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the book value of the debt converted.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which requires all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees to be measured at grant date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as expense. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equivalent to the vesting period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The measurement date for the non-forfeitable awards to non-employees that vest immediately is the date the award is granted.

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.
