• CANB Enters the Industrial Hemp Business

On May 12^th CANB announced recent purchases of additional equipment in order to increase production at its industrial hemp facility in Colorado. In addition to hemp growing and cultivations already underway in CO and NY under its Botanical Biotech division, CANB is entering the industrial hemp business. 

Fresh from a farm equipment auction in CO, CANB acquired the basic equipment to grow and harvest industrial hemp. The equipment includes specially modified for hemp combines, grapplers, forage wagons, a semi-tractor/ trailer and a plethora of additional equipment for a full-on grow and harvest, all purchases for dimes on the dollar.

Industrial hemp can grow to 5 meters high, with very long fibers. The stem is comprised of the outer “bark” or bast, sought after for textiles; and the inner material called hurd, which is used for other applications. Another very valuable component of industrial hemp is the seed, which is technically a nut. Industrial hemp is a very hardy plant, able to be hard grown in areas where other crops will fail. It can withstand periods of drought, heat and frost and also be cultivated without pesticides or other chemicals. The plant grows quite quickly, achieving heights of 4 meters in four months. The plant is easy to work with and can be readily transformed into an amazing array of products and used in a multitude of applications, including stock fodder, ropes and cordage, fiberboard, insulation, plastics, hempcrete, clothing and textiles and more.

CANB is currently in discussions with wholesale groups for off-take agreements for its anticipated hemp fiber grows.

As the Coronavirus pandemic crisis comes to a close the CANB team took advantage of this timing and was able to acquire necessary equipment to expand its industrial hemp operations at an accretive value. The new equipment should be a key piece of the puzzle for CANB to seek additional revenue streams, within its hemp space.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2020:

Essentially, nationally elective surgeries were curtailed in favor of emergency use of all operating rooms and facilities, which dramatically curtailed the use of the CANB ultrasound device associated with patient recovery. Additionally, distributor and medical office sales of CANB main-line CBD products such as tinctures and salves, were diminished due to closing and limited access to medical office facilities, again directly tied to the COVID pandemic.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,431,607, resulting in a gross margin of 83.7%, compared to $1,706,919 and 74.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019. Absolute gross profit decreased due to an oversupply of Hemp and CBD biomass in the market. Gross margin increased due favorable product mix to higher margin products and outreach into additional market segments such as wholesale and private label opportunities.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $5.8 million, a decrease of $1.8 million or 24%, compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly attributable due to a decrease of $2.8 million in officer’s, director’s compensation and consulting fees.

Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 26%, compared to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $5.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3%. The resulting EPS loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a ($1.36), as compared to an EPS loss of ($2.20) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
