Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements.

PART I

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Reports to Security Holders

Our common stock is registered under the Exchange Act 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. We are an electronic filer with the SEC and, as such, our information is available through the Internet site maintained by the SEC that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. This information may be found at www.sec.gov and posted on our website at www.canbcorp.com.

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.

Transfer Agent

We have engaged Transhare Corporation located at 2849 Executive Drive, Suite 200, Clearwater, FL 33762 as our transfer agent.

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 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.

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.

Not applicable.

Market Information

Our common stock is listed for quotation on OTC Market’s OTCQB® Venture Market under the symbol “CANB.” Our common stock began trading in April 2011.

We is applying to have our common stock traded on Nasdaq’s Capital Market.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices of the Company’s common stock and is based upon information provided by OTC Market.

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. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or, in the Board’s sole discretion, the Board.

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.

Other operating expenses increased $576,036 from $876,431 in 2020 to $1,452,467 in 2021.

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.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
