PART I

Company Overview

Canbiola, Inc. was originally incorporated as WrapMail, Inc. (“WRAP”) in Florida on October 11, 2005 in order to tap into a largely un-serviced segment of the web-based advertising industry. 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect these stock splits.

Effective January 5, 2015, WRAP acquired 100% ownership of Prosperity Systems, Inc. (“Prosperity”), 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 and is presently in the process of dissolving Prosperity. For the periods presented, the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are those of the Company. Prosperity had no activity for the periods presented.

Around the first quarter of 2017, the Company began to transition into the Hemp CBD industry and now primarily offers health and beauty products and supplements containing CBD. On May 15, 2017, WRAP changed its name to Canbiola, Inc. (the “Company” or “CANB” or “Canbiola”) to reflect its transition.

Business

The Company’s primary business is the development, production and sale of products and delivery devices containing CBD. The Company’s products contain CBD derived from Hemp and include products such as oils, creams, moisturizers, isolate, and gel caps. In addition to offering white labeled products, Canbiola has developed its own line of proprietary products, as well as seeking synergistic value through acquisitions of products and brands in the Hemp industry. Canbiola aims to be the premier provider of the highest quality natural Hemp CBD products on the market through sourcing the very best raw material and developing a variety of products we believe will improve people’s lives in a variety of areas.

“CBD” Business

Cannabidiol (“CBD”) is one of nearly 85 naturally occurring compounds (cannabinoids) found in industrial hemp (it is also contained in marijuana, but the Company’s products are derived only from hemp). CBD is non-psychoactive and is thought to have numerous uses, including, but not limited to, for pain, insomnia, epilepsy, anxiety, inflammation, and nausea. Unlike CBD derived from marijuana, CBD derived from the seeds and stalks of industrial hemp is generally considered “legal” in the U.S. so long as it contains less than 0.3% of “THC,” another, but psychoactive, cannabinoid found in cannabis. This purported “legal status” is because the 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act and hemp may now be grown as a commodity crop, with restrictions; however, the 2018 Farm Bill did not specifically legalize CBD. Until Congress promulgates rules and regulations relating to hemp derived CBD under the 2018 Farm Bill, the “legal” status of CBD from hemp, or the processes the Company may have to implement (and at what expense), are still unknowns. A similar paradigm exists under various state laws with which the Company will have to comply. In any case, CBD derived from marijuana, marijuana and other marijuana derivatives are federally illegal in the U.S. under the Controlled Substances Act, despite being medically or recreationally legal in numerous states, which is why the Company has established procedures to ensure that its CBD is derived from hemp in compliance with the Farm Bill.The Company has all of its hemp based raw materials (isolate) tested by a 3tf party independent laboratory and those results are posted on the Company web site.

In order to facilitate its operations, the Company has (and will) form or acquire a number of subsidiaries. Its goal is to eventually operate a vertically integrated hemp conglomerate that has operations spanning from seed to sale. Currently, the Company’s primary focus is the development, sale and manufacture of CBD products. The Company’s products are marketed under the tradename “Canbiola.,” and sold via its website and through doctors and other medical professionals with which the Company enters into distribution agreements. The Company also manufactures and/or sells separately branded CBD products through its subsidiaries and websites for “Pure Leaf Oil” brand and “Seven Chakras” brand.

In December, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Pure Health Products, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“PHP” or “Pure Health Products”), with which it had had and has an exclusive production agreement, pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (“PHP Acquisition Agreement”). PHP manufactures and packages the Company’s CBD infused products. PHP may also white label / rebrand or relabel the Company’s products pursuant to “white label agreements” entered into between the Company and/or PHP and third-party customers. Through PHP, the Company is able to control the manufacturing process of its products while reducing its production costs. 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. The Company believes the acquisition of Seven Chakra’s assets will bring accretive value and expand the Company’s market base. The Severn Chakras has a customer following in the northwest and compliments the Canbiola and Pure Leaf Oil brands with additional new products such as bath bombs, stress relief products, and lotions. Seven Chakras has its own internet website and continues in its direct marketing to its customer base.

In November 2018, the Company formed Duramed, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Duramed”) to facilitate the manufacture and sale of durable medical equipment 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 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 MOU is dependent upon meeting the monthly minimum. 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. The initial term of the Sam MOU expires December 31, 2019 (the “Initial Term”). The agreement contemplated by the MOU will automatically renew for additional one-year terms at the end of each calendar year, provided the monthly minimums have been met. The primary thrust of the Duramed Division is to market to patients via doctors via a device rental program reimbursable by insurance carriers to help patient with pain reductions and faster healing.

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. One of those points of differentiation is its 3^rd 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 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.

WRAPmail

The Company owns a patented technology that combines custom marketing content with organization e-mail to provide a next generation marketing platform for organizations and personal use. WRAPMail had provided software solutions for marketing and is no longer being sold or serviced.

We are not aware of any competitors developing a similar solution to WRAPmail, possibly giving us first mover advantage. Nonetheless, we may face competition from stationary letterhead, bulk e-mail and similar product providers.

Currently the Company is not pursuing additional customers for WRAPmail but does continue to service current customers using the software.

Bullseye

The Bullseye Productivity Suite is a cloud-based system that consolidates all necessary office productivity tools into one online experience, accessible everywhere when you need it with full disaster recovery mechanisms built in. All functions and features are audited to help users with corporate governance and compliance issues.

The Company is not presently seeking additional customers for Bullseye but continues to service the existing customer base.

Intellectual Property

We own the following patents for our WRAPmail technology: US patent no. 8572275 issued on October 29, 2013. This patent expires in October 2033. On July 20, 2015, WRAPmail filed for a new patent under the title: Method, System and Software for Dynamically Extracting Content for Integration with Instant Messages, which application is still pending and not being actively pursued by the Company.

The above patents relate to the document management and email marketing divisions. Due to diminishing revenue from these divisions, the Company’s accountant determined to reduce the fair value of these patents to $0.

The Company employes through its Pure Health Products LLC Division, two full time product researchers and CBD 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.

Employees

The Company currently has four full-time employee and seven under services agreements.

Reports to Security Holders

Our common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and we are required to file current, quarterly and annual reports and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document that we file at the SEC’s public reference facilities at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 for more information about its public reference facilities. Our SEC filings are available to you free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

Research and Development

In fiscal year 2017 and 2018 we spent respectively $37,000 and $75,000 in research and development which was expenses as spent.

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 products under the Farm Bill must still be promulgated and are expected to impact the Company’s operations. As the legal CBD industry and our product lines expand, it is uncertain what other statutory schemes and agencies will start to regulate our CBD products. The FDA currently still considers the addition of CBD to food products 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 of hemp based CBD products. 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.

Through our document management and email marketing platforms, 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.

Transfer Agent

We had engaged Island Stock Transfer, located at 15500 Roosevelt Blvd, Suite 301, Clearwater, FL 33760, as our stock transfer agent. Phone: 727.289.0010. Our former director, Carl Dilley, is a principal of Island Stock Transfer.

On April 1^st, 2019 we changed Transfer Agents to Transhare Corporation located at 15500 Roosevelt Blvd, Suite 302, Clearwater FL 33760.

We are a smaller reporting company and not required to provide the information in this Item.

Not applicable.

The Company does not currently own any real property. We do however lease office space in Hicksville, New York. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pure Health Products, operates its manufacturing facility in the state of Washington.

We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings in which we are involved, except as disclosed herein. On or around May 11, 2018, the Company initiated arbitration proceedings against T8 Partners, Inc., a New York Corporation (“T8”), pursuant to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) rules, for breach of contract and return of 2.5M shares of the Company’s common stock for non-performance by T8 under a services contract. The case, Case No. 01-18-0001-8823, is being heard in AAA’s Los Angeles Regional Office.

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, the lack of segregation of duties and the lack of an audit committee.

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.

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, 2018 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, 2018, 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, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Otherwise, we believe that the Reporting Persons met such filing requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Canbiola, Inc

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canbiola Inc. (the Company) as of December 31. 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated stockholders’ equity. and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 3!, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opm1on on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are tree 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 intemal 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,112,277 during the year ended December 31, 2018, and as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $18,768,753 The company is in arears with certain vendor creditors which, among other things, cause the balances to become due on demand. The Company is not aware of any alternate sources of capital to meet such demands, if made.

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. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014. Hauppauge,
