ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Our Business

Company Background and History

Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business. As of the date of this Report, the Company is a technology holding company owning three companies (ALTIA, LLC, Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc., and Venture West Energy Services (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC).

Who We Are

Alpine 4 is a publicly held enterprise with four principles at the core of its business: Synergy, Innovation, Drive, and Excellence (S.I.D.E.). At Alpine 4, we believe synergistic innovation drives excellence. By anchoring these words to our combined experience and capabilities, we are able to aggressively pursue opportunities within and across vertical markets. We deliver solutions that not only drive industry standards, but also increase value for our shareholders.

At Alpine 4, we understand the nature of how technology and innovation can accentuate a business. We strive to develop strategic synergies between our holdings to create value and operational excellence within a unique long-term perspective.

Our Strategy

Alpine 4's strategy is to provide Fortune 500-level execution strategies in its subsidiary companies and market segments to businesses and companies that have the most to benefit from this access.

Alpine 4 feels this opportunity exists in smaller middle market operating companies with revenues between $5 to $150 million. In this target rich environment, businesses generally sell at more reasonable multiples, presenting greater opportunities for operational and strategic improvements and have greater potential for growth. Implementation of our strategy within our holdings is accomplished by the offering of strategic and tactical MBA-level training and development, delivered via the following modules:

-	Alpine 4 Mini MBA program; and

-	An Alpine 4 developed ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning system) and collaboration system called SPECTRUMebos. SPECTRUMebos is what we are defining as an Enterprise Business Operating System (ebos). This system will combine the key technology software components of Accounting and Financial Reporting, an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP), a Document Management System (DMS), a Business Intelligence (BI) platform and a Customer Resource Management (CRM) hub which will be tethered to management reporting and collaboration toolsets. Management believes that these tools will help drive real-time information in two directions: first, to the front lines by empowering customer-facing stakeholders; and second, back to management for planning, problem solving, and integration. Management believes that SPECTRUMebos will be the technology "secret sauce" in managing our portfolio of companies and, in time, may be offered to external customers.

All great strategies must have trades offs. Therefore, Alpine 4 avoids companies that have unionized employees, businesses that have more than $150 million in revenue and companies that reside in highly regulated business industries.

Diversification

It is our goal to help drive Alpine 4 into a leading multi-faceted holding company with diverse products and services that not only benefit from one another as whole but also have the benefit of independence. This type of corporate structure is about having our subsidiaries prosper through strong onsite leadership, while working synergistically with other Alpine 4 holdings. Alpine 4 has been set up with a holding company model, with Presidents who will run each business, and Managers with specific industry related experience who, along with Kent Wilson, the CEO of Alpine 4, will help guide our portfolio of companies as needed. Alpine 4 will work with our Presidents and Managers to ensure that our motto of S.I.D.E (Synergistic, Innovation, Drives, Excellence) is utilized. Further, we plan to work with our subsidiaries and capital partners to provide the proper capital allocation and, to work to make sure each business is executing at high levels.

In 2016, we saw the beginning of our plan for diversification take hold with the acquisition of Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. ("QCA") when Alpine 4 acquired 100% of QCA's stock effective April 1, 2016. Additional information relating to our acquisition of QCA can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

In October of 2016, Alpine 4 formed a new Limited Liability Company called ALTIA (Automotive Logic & Technology In Action) to create an independent subsidiary for Alpine 4's 6^th Sense Auto product and its BrakeActive product.

Effective, January 1, 2017, Alpine 4 acquired 100% of Venture West Energy Services ("VWES") (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC). . Additional information about the acquisition of VWES can be found below under "Recent Developments" and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 8, 2016, and January 13, 2017.

As of the date of this Annual Report, our subsidiaries and product groups consisted of the following:

On February 28 2018, the Company terminated its previously announced letter of intent to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Lattice Incorporated ("Lattice"), together with letters of intent with certain of Lattice's creditors to convert their debt in Lattice into equity. After conducting due diligence, the Company determined to not proceed with the acquisition.

Convertible Notes

On October 4, 2017, the Company entered into a convertible note with an unrelated lender for $60,000 with net proceeds of $55,000. The note is due July 4, 2018 and bears interest at 12% per annum. After 180 days, the note is convertible to the Company's Class A common stock at a discount of 35% to the average of the three lowest trading closing prices of the stock for ten days prior to conversion. The Company can prepay the convertible note up to 180 days from October 5, 2017. The prepayment penalty is equal to 20% to 25% of the outstanding note amount depending on when prepaid.

On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into a variable convertible note with unrelated 3^rd party for $115,000 with net proceeds of $107,000. The note is due May 2, 2018 and bears interest at 10% per annum. The note is immediately convertible to the Company's Class A common stock at a discount of 35% to the average of the three lowest trading closing prices of the stock for ten days prior to conversion.

The shares were consideration for the second note dated November 2, 2017, and as such will be accounted for as a discount associated with that note.

On November 28, 2017, the Company entered into a variable convertible note with unrelated 3^rd party for $105,000. The note is due June 15, 2018 and bears interest at 10% per annum.

Completion of Earnhardt Auto Center Pilot Program

The options were issued without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Acquisition of Horizon Well Testing / Venture West Energy Services, LLC

On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "HWT SPA") with Horizon Well Testing, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company ("HWT") and its sole shareholder Adam Martin (the "HWT Seller"). Effective as of January 1, 2017, Alpine 4 acquired and took full control of HWT.

Since 2010, VWES has been providing services to the oil and gas industry. This acquisition is another step in Alpine 4's strategy of diversification through acquisitions.

Pursuant to the HWT SPA, Alpine 4, HWT and the HWT Seller agreed on the terms pursuant to which Alpine 4 would purchase from HWT Seller all of the outstanding membership interests of HWT (the "HWT Interests"). The purchase price paid by Alpine 4 for the HWT Interests consisted of cash, a note, a convertible note, and securities consideration. The "Cash Consideration" paid was $2,200,000. The "Note" consisted of a secured note in the amount of $300,000, secured by a subordinated security interest in the assets of HWT. The Note bears interest at 1% and will be payable in full by July 31, 2017. The "Convertible Note" consisted of a secured convertible note in the amount of $1,500,000, secured by a subordinated security interest in the assets of HWT. The HWT Seller has the opportunity to convert the Convertible Note into shares of Alpine 4's Class A common stock at a conversion price of $8.50 after a restricted period according to securities laws. The Convertible Note bears interest at 5% and is payable in full with a balloon payment on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date of the transaction with no monthly payments. The "Securities" consisted of two components, an aggregate of 379,403 shares of Alpine 4's Class A common stock issued to the Seller, and a warrant to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of Class A common stock.

In the HWT SPA, the HWT Seller acknowledged and agreed that his entry into consulting agreements with Alpine 4 was an integral part of the transaction contemplated by the HWT SPA. As such, the HWT Seller agreed to enter into consulting agreements with Alpine 4 and HWT, and continue to work with HWT for a period of time agreed upon by Alpine 4 and the HWT Seller.

HWT subsequently changed its name to Venture West Energy Services ("VWES").

Employees

As of the date of this Report, we had 132 full-time and 5 part-time employees. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. Other than as disclosed in this Report or previously filed with the SEC, we have no employment agreements with our employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Associated With Our Business and Operations

Alpine 4 is an "emerging growth company," and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to "emerging growth companies" could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

Alpine 4 is an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory "say-on-pay" votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last date of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under the Company's first filed registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Exchange Act. We will be deemed a large accelerated filer on the first day of the fiscal year after the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured on October 31.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions available to emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

A Company that elects to be treated as an emerging growth company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under the Company's first filed registration statement; (iii) the date on which it has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which is deemed to be a 'large accelerated filer' as defined by the SEC, which would generally occur upon it attaining a public float of at least $700 million.

However, we are choosing to "opt out" of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Alpine 4 has incurred net losses of $20,433,875 since inception through December 31, 2017. This net loss was primarily driven in 2015 by stock issuance to employees. Because we have yet to attain profitable operations, in their report on our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While management believes Alpine 4 will have net operating gains beginning in the second quarter of 2018, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to achieve these net operating gains. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loan from various financial institutions where possible. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the management's assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management of Alpine 4 cannot guarantee that Alpine 4 will continue to generate revenues which could result in a total loss of the value of your investment if it is unsuccessful in its business plans.

While Alpine 4 and its subsidiaries have long term Purchase Order arrangements with its large Contract Manufacturing customers and Master Service Agreements with its Oil Field Services customers that can provide a level of dependable revenue, there can be no assurance that Alpine 4 will be able to continue to generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain its business. As a result, investors or shareholders could lose all of their investment if Alpine 4 is not successful in its proposed business plans.

Alpine 4's needs could exceed the amount of time or level of experience its officers and directors may have. Alpine 4 will be dependent on key executives, and the loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact Alpine 4's business operations.

Alpine 4's business plan does not provide for the hiring of any additional employees other than outlined in its plan of operations until sales will support the expense. Until that time, the responsibility of developing Alpine 4's business and fulfilling the reporting requirements of a public company will fall upon the officers and the directors. In the event they are unable to fulfill any aspect of their duties to Alpine 4, it may experience a shortfall or complete lack of sales resulting in little or no profits and eventual closure of our business.

Additionally, the management of future growth will require, among other things, continued development of Alpine 4's financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs, increased marketing activities, and the ability to attract and retain qualified management, research, and marketing personnel. The loss of key executives or the failure to hire qualified replacement personnel would compromise Alpine 4's ability to generate revenues or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Alpine 4. There can be no assurance that Alpine 4 will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.

Significant time and management resources are required to ensure compliance with public company reporting and other obligations. Taking steps to comply with these requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources, and does not ensure that we will be able to satisfy them.

We are a publicly reporting company. As a public company, we are required to comply with applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as other federal securities laws, and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the various exchanges and trading facilities where our common stock may trade, which result in significant legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses. These rules and requirements impose certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence, distributing annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, approvals and voting, soliciting proxies, conflicts of interest, and codes of conduct, depending on where our shares trade. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all applicable requirements.

As we review our internal controls and procedures, we may determine that they are ineffective or have material weaknesses, which could impact the market's acceptance of our filings and financial statements.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report, we conducted a review of our internal control over financial reporting for the purpose of providing the management report required by these rules. During the course of our review and testing, we have identified deficiencies and have been unable to remediate them before we were required to provide the required reports. Furthermore, because we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. Even if we are able to remediate the material weaknesses, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, which could harm our operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the trading price of our stock to fall. In addition, as a public company we are required to file in a timely manner accurate quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from the market or trading facility where our shares may trade, or other adverse consequences that would materially harm our business.

Because Alpine 4 has shown a net loss since inception, ownership of Alpine 4 shares is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of the value of your investment if Alpine 4 is unsuccessful in its business plans.

Based upon current plans, Alpine 4 expects to stop incurring operating losses in future periods as its subsidiaries move from their Optimization Phase to its Asset Producing Phase. However new additional subsidiaries may incur significant expenses associated with the growth of those businesses. Further, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in realizing future revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of its business or force Alpine 4 to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of its equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you receive in connection with the Share Exchange.

Growth and development of operations will depend on the growth in the Alpine 4 acquisition model and from organic growth from its subsidiaries businesses. If Alpine 4 cannot find desirable acquisition candidates it may not be able to generate growth with future revenues.

Alpine 4 expects to acquire two additional companies in 2018 resulting in projected annualized revenue of $41 million by the end of Q4 2018. There is no guarantee that it will be successful in realizing future revenue growth from its acquisition model. As such it is highly dependent on suitable candidates to acquire which the supply of those candidates cannot be guaranteed and is driven from the market for M&A.

Alpine 4 has limited management resources, and will be dependent on key executives. The loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact Alpine 4's business operations and future development, which could result in a loss of revenues and adversely impact the ability to ever sell any Exchange Shares received through participation in the Share Exchange.

Alpine 4 is relying on a small number of key individuals to implement its business and operations and, in particular, the professional expertise and services of Kent B. Wilson, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary, and Charles Winters, our Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Wilson intends to serve full time in his capacities with Alpine 4 to work to develop and grow the Company. Nevertheless, Alpine 4 may not have sufficient managerial resources to successfully manage the increased business activity envisioned by its business strategy. In addition, Alpine 4's future success depends in large part on the continued service of Mr. Wilson. If he chooses not to serve as an officer or if he is unable to perform his duties, this could have an adverse effect on Company business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace Mr. Wilson or Mr. Winters with other individuals qualified to develop and market our business. The loss of their services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any ownership of Alpine 4.

Competition that Alpine 4 faces is varied and strong.

Alpine 4's subsidiaries' products and industries as a whole are subject to competition. There is no guarantee that we can sustain our market position or expand our business.

We compete with a number of entities in providing products to our customers. Such competitor entities include a variety of large nationwide corporations, including but not limited to public entities and companies that have established loyal customer bases over several decades.

Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with both existing and potential customers. They also may be able to offer more competitive products and services and more aggressively promote and sell their products. Our competitors may also be able to support more aggressive pricing than we will be able to, which could adversely affect sales, cause us to decrease our prices to remain competitive, or otherwise reduce the overall gross profit earned on our products.

Our success in business and operations will depend on general economic conditions.

The success of Alpine 4 and its subsidiaries depends, to a large extent, on certain economic factors that are beyond its control. Factors such as general economic conditions, levels of unemployment, interest rates, tax rates at all levels of government, competition and other factors beyond Alpine 4's control may have an adverse effect on the ability of our subsidiaries to sell its products, to operate, and to collect sums due and owing to them.

Alpine 4 may not be able to successfully implement its business strategy, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If Alpine 4 cannot successfully implement its business strategy, it could result in the loss of the value of your investment.

Successful implementation of our business strategy depends on our being able to acquire additional businesses and grow our existing subsidiaries, as well as on factors specific to the industries in which our subsidiaries operate, and the state of the financial industry and numerous other factors that may be beyond our control. Adverse changes in the following factors could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:

o	The competitive environment in the industries in which our subsidiaries operate that may force us to reduce prices below the optimal pricing level or increase promotional spending;

o	Our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and to meet customers' needs for our products in a timely cost effective manner; and

o	Our ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in these competitive environments.

Our revenue growth rate depends primarily on our ability to satisfy relevant channels and end-customer demands, identify suppliers of our necessary ingredients and to coordinate those suppliers, all subject to many unpredictable factors.

We may not be able to identify and maintain the necessary relationships with suppliers of product and services as planned. Delays or failures in deliveries could materially and adversely affect our growth strategy and expected results. As we supply more customers, our rate of expansion relative to the size of such customer base will decline. In addition, one of our biggest challenges is securing an adequate supply of suitable product. Competition for product is intense, and commodities costs subject to price volatility.

Our ability to execute our business plan also depends on other factors, including:

o	ability to keep satisfied vendor relationships

o	hiring and training qualified personnel in local markets;

o	managing marketing and development costs at affordable levels;

o	cost and availability of labor;

o	the availability of, and our ability to obtain, adequate supplies of ingredients that meet our quality standards; and

o	securing required governmental approvals in a timely manner when necessary.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Alpine 4 stockholders, and others who choose to purchase shares of Alpine 4 common stock if and when offered, may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the limited public market or state Blue Sky laws.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC market. Current Alpine 4 stockholders and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market should be aware that there might be additional significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, investors should consider any secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Sales of our common stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.

Under Rule 144 affiliates of Alpine 4 may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. If substantial amounts of our common stock become available for resale under Rule 144 once a market has developed for our common stock, the then-prevailing market prices for our common stock may be reduced.

We may, in the future, issue additional securities, which would reduce our stockholders' percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, authorizes us to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. As of the date of this Annual Report, we had 24,507,853 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, and 1,600,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 75,492,147 shares of Class A common stock, and an additional 3,400,000 shares of Class B common stock. The future issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock may result in additional dilution in the percentage of our Class A common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any Class A common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis including for services or acquisitions or other corporate actions that may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our stockholders, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Class A common stock. Additionally, our board of directors may designate the rights terms and preferences of one or more series of preferred stock at its discretion including conversion and voting preferences without prior notice to our stockholders. Any of these events could have a dilutive effect on the ownership of our shareholders, and the value of shares owned.

Raising additional capital or purchasing businesses through the issuance of common stock will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and strategic and licensing arrangements, as well as issuing stock to make additional business or asset acquisitions. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock or through the issuance of equity for purchases of businesses or assets, your ownership interest in Alpine 4 will be diluted.

Raising additional capital may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, the terms of any such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that materially adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, strategic partnerships and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our intellectual property, future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Market volatility may affect our stock price and the value of your shares.

The market price for our common stock is likely to be volatile, in part because the volume of trades of our common stock. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including, among others:

●	announcements of new products, brands, commercial relationships, acquisitions or other events by us or our competitors;

●	regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;

●	fluctuations in stock market prices and trading volumes of similar companies;

●	general market conditions and overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets;

●	variations in our quarterly operating results;

●	changes in our financial guidance or securities analysts' estimates of our financial performance;

●	changes in accounting principles;

●	our ability to raise additional capital and the terms on which we can raise it;

●	sales of large blocks of our common stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;

●	additions or departures of key personnel;

●	discussion of us or our stock price by the press and by online investor communities; and

●	other risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports or publish misleading, inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We currently have limited coverage and may never obtain increased research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover our company, the trading price and volume of our stock would likely be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise adequate capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly.

Alpine 4's executive officers do not have experience being officers of a public company. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley's internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

Alpine 4 may issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock.

Alpine 4's Board of Directors may issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. Any such provision may be deemed to have a potential anti-takeover effect, and the issuance of Preferred Stock in accordance with such provision may delay or prevent a change of control of Alpine 4. The Board of Directors also may declare a dividend on any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

An Alpine 4 developed ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning system) and collaboration system called SPECTRUMebos. SPECTRUMebos is what we are defining as an Enterprise Business Operating System (ebos). This system will combine the key technology software components of Accounting and Financial Reporting, an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP), a Document Management System (DMS), a Business Intelligence (BI) platform and a Customer Resource Management (CRM) hub which will be tethered to management reporting and collaboration toolsets. Management believes that these tools will help drive real-time information in two directions: first, to the front lines by empowering customer-facing stakeholders; and second, back to management for planning, problem solving, and integration. Management believes that SPECTRUMebos will be the technology "secret sauce" in managing our portfolio of companies and, in time, may be offered to external customers.

Business Seasonality and Product Introductions

Following the acquisition of the Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. and VWES and with the newly acquired dealership pilot and contract for ALTIA, LLC, the Company expects to experience higher net sales in its second and third quarters compared to other quarters in its fiscal year. Each company has varying seasonality to their sales and will be reflected in the financial statements.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had accumulated a deficit of $20,433,875 as of December 31, 2017. The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the management's assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to mitigate the risk related with this uncertainty, the Company plans to issue additional shares of common stock for cash and services during the next 12 months and obtain additional funding from the issuance of convertible debt.

Results of Operations

Explanatory Note

The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report are presented under predecessor entity reporting and because the Company, as the acquiring entity in the QCA Transaction, had nominal operations as compared with the acquired company, QCA, prior historical information of the acquirer is not presented.

This new basis of accounting was created on April 1, 2016, the effective date for financial reporting purposes of the stock purchase agreement. In the following discussion, the results of the operations and cash flows for the periods ended on or prior to March 31, 2016, and the financial position of QCA as of balance sheet date on or prior to March 31, 2016,are referred to as "Predecessor" financial information, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for periods beginning April 1, 2016 and the financial position of the Company as of April 1, 2016, and subsequent balance sheet dates are referred to herein as "Successor" consolidated financial information.

The following are the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to 2016. For comparability purposes, the following results of operations for 2016 are presented on a combined basis showing a full 12 month period including the three months ended March 31, 2016 (Predecessor) and the nine months ended December 31, 2016 (Successor).

Revenue

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased by $2,230,453 as compared to the full 12 month period in 2016. In 2017, our revenue consisted of $7,769,722 for QCA, $1,773,474 for Venture West Energy Services ("VWES") (formerly Horizon Well Testing), and $548,295 relating to the 6^th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA. Revenues increased primarily because of the acquisition of VWES on January 1, 2017, which generated an additional $1,773,474 in revenues in 2017 that did not exist in 2016. Excluding the impact of VWES revenues, our revenues increased by $456,979 in 2017 as compared to 2016 due primarily to growth in our 6^th Sense Auto services. We expect our revenue to continue to grow over the next 12 months. Management's expectations of growth in revenues is based on multiple areas. First, management believes that its contacts within the automobile dealership industry, and the anticipated increase in interest in Alpine 4's products and services as Alpine 4 increases its advertising and brand and product/service awareness campaigns will produce increased revenues as the Company engages more dealerships with the Alpine 4 products. Second, management anticipates continued growth of QCA through new customers and internal growth. Third, management plans to continue the Company's focus on finding and acquiring companies.

Cost of revenue

Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased by $1,901,933 as compared to the full 12 month period in 2016. In 2017, our cost of revenue consisted of $5,330,977 for QCA, $1,865,059 for VWES and $328,778 for ALTIA services. Cost of revenue increased primarily because of the acquisition of VWES on January 1, 2017, which generated additional costs of $1,865,059 in 2017 that did not exist in 2016. We expect our cost of revenue to increase over the next year as our revenue increases.

Operating expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $768,885 as compared to the full 12 month period in 2016. The decrease in 2017 is related to higher expenses in 2016 primarily due to non-cash expenses of $1,275,000 for common stock issued to officers and directors for compensation. These expenses did not reoccur in 2017. We also had additional expenses in 2016 relating to issuance of common stock for services. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future years as we increase our advertising and brand and product/service awareness campaigns and as we hire additional personnel as needed and as operations permit. The addition of more dealerships will also increase expenses relating to installations, customer management, and operational costs.

Our depreciation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, increased by $462,078 as compared to 2016. The increase is due to additional depreciation expenses in 2017 associated with $4,804,458 in property and equipment acquired with the acquisition of VWES on January 1, 2017. Our amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased by $35,454 as compared to 2016 due primarily to a full year of amortization in 2017 of intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of QCA on April 1, 2016.

Other expenses

Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, increased by $503,766 as compared to 2016 primarily due an increase in interest expense of $580,462 due to the increase in interest bearing debt during 2017. The increase was also due to a loss of $126,054 related to the change in value of derivative liabilities in 2017 which did not exist in 2016. In addition, other income increased by $202,750 in 2017 primarily due to income relating to sublease rental income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception from the sale of common stock, capital contributions from stockholders and from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable. We expect to continue to finance our operations by selling shares of our common stock and by generating income from the sale of our products. As noted above, management's expectations of growth in revenues is based on management's contacts within the automobile dealership industry, and the anticipated increase in interest in Alpine 4's products and services as Alpine 4 increases its advertising and brand and product/service awareness campaigns. Additionally, management anticipates that the new campaigns will result in the Company's adding new dealerships in 2018.

Management expects to have sufficient working capital for continuing operations from either the sale of its products or through the raising of additional capital through private offerings of our securities. Additionally, as of the date of this Report, the Company was in negotiations to acquire additional businesses, which management believes will provide additional operating revenues to the Company. There can be no guarantee that the planned acquisitions will close or that they will produce the anticipated revenues on the schedule anticipated by management, or at all.

The Company also may elect to seek bank financing or to engage in debt financing through a placement agent. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital from operations or through sales of its securities or other means, we may need to delay implementation of our business plans.

Contractual Obligations

Our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2017, were as follows:

	Payments due by Period
	Less than One Year		One to Three Years		Three to Five Years		More Than Five Years		Total
Notes payable, related parties	$	387,000	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	387,000
Notes payable, non-related parties		3,893,617		-		-		-		3,893,617
Convertible notes payable		2,382,250		1,660,106		-		-		4,042,356
Total	$	6,662,867	$	1,660,106	$	-	$	-	$	8,322,973

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and the Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company's management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of this Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Management believes the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition and inventory valuation. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.

Revenue Recognition

ALTIA

The Company accounts for its revenue per the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-25-25 by allocating the total contract amount between the product and service elements. When a vehicle is sold to the driving consumer who purchases the 6^th Sense Auto service, the cost of the service is added to the price of the car and the amount collected by the dealership for this service is remitted to the Company. At the time of the vehicle is purchased, the Company recognizes the service portion of the contract over the service period of generally 12 to 36 months.

Quality Circuit Assembly

The Company accounts for its revenue per the guidance in ASC 605-25-25 by allocating the total contract amount between the product and service elements. Revenue is recognized when either the product has completely been built and shipped or the service has been completed. If a deposit for product or service is received prior to completion the payment is recorded to deferred revenue until such point the product or services meets our revenue recognition policy. There is an implied warranty on all our services and production. If a customer is unsatisfied with our work then we will redo the work until the customer is satisfied. Any returns are credited to the customer until the rework is completed and then re-invoiced to the customer. Management assess the materiality and likelihood of warranty work and records reserves as needed. For all periods presented the warrant reserve assessment was immaterial.

VWES

Revenue is recognized when the contract has been performed in completion. Contracts range from one day to 30 days in length.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had an allowance for bad debt of $18,710 and $0, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory's cost (weighted average basis) or the net realizable value of the inventory. Management compares the cost of inventory with its net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to net realizable value, if lower. Inventory is segregated into four areas, raw materials, WIP, finished goods, and In-Transit.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from ten years to 39 years as follows:

Buildings	39 years
Leasehold Improvements	15 years or time remaining on lease (whichever is shorter)
Equipment	10 years

Maintenance and repair costs are charged against income as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of the asset.

Purchased Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives, which range between five and fifteen years as follows:

Customer List	15 years
Non-compete agreements	5 years
Software development	5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. During all periods presented, there have been no impairment losses.

Goodwill

In financial reporting, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations. All assessments of goodwill impairment are conducted at the individual reporting unit level. As of December 31, 2017, the reporting units with goodwill were QCA and VWES.

The Company used qualitative factors according to ASC 350-20-35-3 to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. Based on the qualitative criteria the company believes there not to be any triggers for potential impairment of goodwill and therefore the Company has recorded no impairment of goodwill in any period presented.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, notes and line of credit. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Leases

Leases are reviewed by management and examined to see if they are required to be categorized as an operating lease, a capital lease or a financing transaction.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented were the convertible debentures, but they are anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred. All earnings (loss) per common share have been adjusted retroactively for periods presented to reflect changes in number of shares as a result of the reverse stock split amount.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment is reached or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

Income taxes

The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.

The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period. To the extent that the financial results of operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Related Party Disclosure

FASB ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures" requires companies to include in their financial statements disclosures of material related party transactions. The Company discloses all material related party transactions. Related parties are defined to include any principal owner, director or executive officer of the Company and any immediate family members of a principal owner, director or executive officer.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

1. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

2. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2017 CFO Mr. David Schmitt resigned from his position for personal reasons. Alpine 4 has subsequently hired an outside firm to help with the 2017 10k and 2018 10Q filings and preparations. The company has also hired additional accounting staff to make up for the resources that Mr. Schmitt supplied the position as CFO. The company has begun the search for a new CFO but doesn't plan on hiring an new CFO until the 3^rd or 4^th Quarter 2018.

3. Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

●	pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

●	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

●	provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and

●	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, our management determined that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2017.

Areas of material weakness include:

●	segregation of duties

●	inadequate control activities

●	monitoring processes

4. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Generally, disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Nevertheless, an internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls are considered relative to their costs. As noted above, we have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2017. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In the private sector, Mr. Hail experienced success by starting a number different companies and building them to be the leaders in their niche sectors from both electronics manufacturing to e-commerce. As a result, he brings a broad-based experience level with the operational aspects of running a business in today's realm.

Term of office. Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board.

Family relationships. There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

Director or officer involvement in certain legal proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, except as described below, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director or executive officer of the Company: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

As of the date of this Report, we did not have a standing audit, compensation, or nominating committee of the Board of Directors. The Company has determined that the Board of Directors does not have an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017, the following persons failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 2017:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company", or "Successor") as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the period from April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We have also audited the statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows of Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. (the "Predecessor") for the period from January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "Predecessor financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. 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 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 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 entity'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.

ALPINE 4 TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

Note 1 – Description of Business

Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. ("we" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle to affect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business. As of the date of this Report, the Company is a technology holding company owning three companies (ALTIA, LLC; Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. ("QCA"); and Venture West Energy Services ("VWES") (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC). For 2016 QCA made up most of the revenue for the consolidated financials. VWES was not acquired until January 1, 2017 (see Note 9), so it is not included in our accompanying 2016 financial statements.

Acquisition Reporting

As discussed in Note 9, the Company entered into a stock purchase transaction with QCA in which the Company purchased 100% of QCA's outstanding stock.

The consolidated financial statements herein are presented under predecessor entity reporting and because the acquiring entity had nominal operations as compared with the acquired company, QCA, prior historical information of the acquirer is not presented.

This new basis of accounting was created on April 1, 2016, the effective date for financial reporting purposes of the stock purchase agreement. In the following discussion, the results of the operations and cash flows for the periods ended on or prior to March 31, 2016, and the financial position of QCA as of balance sheet date on or prior to March 31, 2016 are referred to as "Predecessor" financial information, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for periods beginning April 1, 2016 and the financial position of the Company as of April 1, 2016 and subsequent balance sheet dates are referred to herein as "Successor" consolidated financial information.

Goodwill

Fair Value Measurement

Redeemable Common Stock

As discussed in Note 9 below, 379,403 shares of the Company's Class A common stock that were issued as consideration for the VWES acquisition contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of common stock at the option of the holder. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, at December 31, 2017, 379,403 shares of Class A common stock were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value.

F - 9

Revenue Recognition

ALTIA

The Company accounts for its revenue per the guidance in ASC 605-25-25 by allocating the total contract amount between the product and service elements. When a vehicle is sold to the driving consumer who purchases the 6^th Sense Auto service, the cost of the service is added to the price of the car and the amount collected by the dealership for this service is remitted to the Company. At the time the vehicle is purchased, the Company recognizes the service portion of the contract over the service period of generally 12 to 36 months.

Quality Circuit Assembly

The Company accounts for its revenue per the guidance in ASC 605-25-25 by allocating the total contract amount between the product and service elements. Revenue is recognized when either the product has completely been built and shipped or the service has been completed. If a deposit for product or service is received prior to completion the payment is recorded to deferred revenue until such point the product or services meets our revenue recognition policy. Management assesses the materiality and likelihood of warranty work and returns and records reserves as needed. For all periods presented management determined that the warranty and returns would be immaterial.

VWES

Revenue is recognized when the contract has been performed in completion. Contracts range from one day to 30 days in length.

Leases

Leases are reviewed by management and examined to see if they are required to be categorized as an operating lease, a capital lease or a financing transaction.

Earnings (loss) per share

Stock-based compensation

Income taxes

The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.

Related Party Disclosure

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We intend to adopt Topic 606 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Upon adoption, we will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. We expect the adoption of Topic 606 will likely not have a material impact to our revenues and net loss presented in the consolidated statement of operations. However, the Company does expect to have significant changes to the footnote disclosures as a result of implementing this new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.

F - 11

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The working capital of the Company is currently negative and causes doubt of the ability for the Company to continue. The Company requires capital for its operational and marketing activities. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

In order to mitigate the risk related with this uncertainty, the Company has a three-fold plan to resolve these risks. First, the acquisition of QCA has allowed for an increased level of cash flow to the Company as demonstrated in the sales for the second and third quarters of 2016. Second, the Company has acquired VWES and is considering other potential acquisition targets that, like QCA, should increase income and cash flow to the Company. Third, the Company plans to issue additional shares of common stock for cash and services during the next 12 months and has engaged MCAP, LLC, to provide advisory services in connection with that capital raise.

Note 4 – Leases

During the nine months ending December 31, 2016 (Successor), the Company entered into a financing transaction for a building. The Company bought the property for $3,895,000 and subsequently sold the property for $7,000,000 to an unrelated third-party real estate company and simultaneously entered into an arrangement with the third-party real estate company to lease back the property. Because the leaseback was not a typical leaseback, this transaction is recorded as a financing transaction with the asset and related financing obligation recorded on the balance sheet. The lease has a 15-year term expiring in 2031 and certain default provisions requiring the Company to perform repairs and maintenance, make timely rent payments and insure the building. The Company also issued a letter of credit for $630,270 in favor of the landlord. The letter of credit is collateralized by a savings account which is classified as restricted cash under non-current assets. The remaining payments under the financing transaction as of December 31, 2016 (Successor), total $9,762,396. Imputed interest of $3,176,003 is being amortized over the lease term with an effective interest rate of 7.80%. The Company paid costs of $54,898 and a commission of $350,000 in conjunction with the transaction, which is characterized as debt issuance costs and will be amortized over the lease term. The current unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs is $348,542 and in accordance with ASU 2015-03 debt issuance costs are reflected as a contra-liability reducing the related financing lease obligation.

As of December 31, 2017, the future minimum capital lease and financing transaction payments, net of amortization of debt issuance costs, are as follows:

The Company also has a commitment to pay $276,000 towards Leasehold Improvements, of which $276,000 has been satisfied and reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

The money received from the sale of the building was used to purchase Quality Circuit Assembly. Because this is a financing transaction, the sale is recorded under financing obligation lease on the Balance Sheet and amortized over the 15-year term of the lease.

The term of the lease has been extended through September 30, 2032, at a monthly rate of approximately $69,000. These payments are reflected in the table above.

A letter of credit of $1,000,000 is to be provided to landlord, of which $207,311 had been satisfied as of December 31, 2017.

Operating Leases

The company also had three operating leases as of December 31, 2017 (Successor), for its location in San Jose, CA (QCA), Phoenix, AZ (Alpine), and Oklahoma City, OK (VWES). Approximate monthly rent obligations are $21,500, $2,800, and $5,000 respectively.

The five-year minimum rent payments for each location are as follows:

Fiscal Year	San Jose, CA		Phoenix, AZ		Oklahoma City, OK		Total
2018	$	266,134	$	-	$	60,000	$	326,134
2019		274,118		-		35,000		309,118

Thereafter		-		-		-		-
Total	$	1,113,406	$	-	$	95,000	$	1,208,406

The San Jose, CA, rent agreement expires at the end of 2021. The Phoenix, AZ, rent agreement expired at the end of May 2017 and went to a monthly rent agreement. The Oklahoma City, OK rent agreement expires end of August 2019.

Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, three months ended March 31, 2016 (Predecessor), and nine months ended December 31, 2016 (Successor), were $528,673, $58,459 and $185,157, respectively.

Note 5 – Notes Payable

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 (Successor), QCA secured a line of credit with a third-party lender, Crestmark. The line of credit is collateralized by QCA's outstanding accounts receivable, up to 90%, and inventory, up to 30% with maximum draws of $2,500,000 and a variable interest rate. The Company also secured a five-year fixed rate (10.14%) term loan with Crestmark which is collateralized by QCA's equipment.

The note is immediately convertible to the Company's Class A common stock at a discount of 35% to the average of the three lowest trading closing prices of the stock for ten days prior to conversion. The Company can prepay the convertible note up to 180 days from July 19, 2017. The Company issued 500,000 shares of Class A common stock to the note holder which are returnable if no event of default has occurred and the note is paid in full within 180 days of the note date. Management has determined that it is probable that the Company will meet the conditions under the note and therefore it more likely than not that the Company will not be in default as defined in the note and the note will be paid in full within 180 days of the note date. As a result, management has concluded that it is probable that the shares would be returned and therefore the cost of issuance has not been recorded as of December 31, 2017. The Company will reassess the likelihood of such at each period end. This is accounted for as a derivative liability, so a debt discount from derivative liabilities of $115,000 was recognized and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. See Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements for more details.		72,748			-

The discounts on convertible notes payable arise from beneficial conversion features ("BCF"), as well as conversion features of certain convertible notes being treated as derivative liabilities (see Note 11). Total BCF debt discounts recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, amounted to $30,000 and $115,810, respectively. The debt discount recorded relating to derivative liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, amounted to $115,000 and $0, respectively. The discounts are being amortized over the terms of the convertible notes payable. Amortization of debt discounts during the years ended December, 31 2017 and 2016, amounted to $89,292 and $274,615, respectively, and is recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized discount balance for these notes was $79,630 as of December 31, 2017, which is expected to be amortized in 2018.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received a tax benefit of $152,942 from the ability to carryback a portion of its net operating losses to prior period, which is a component of the total tax benefit of $258,392 for 2017. A full valuation allowance is established against the remaining net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 based on estimates of recoverability. The Company determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to its ability to generate sufficient profits from its new business model. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017, and reduced the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The Company's deferred tax assets, liabilities, and valuation allowance have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the new tax law.

The following is a reconciliation of the difference between the effective and statutory income tax rates for years ended December 31:

	December 31 2017						December 31 2016
	Amount			Percent			Amount			Percent
Federal statutory rates	$	(1,106,976	)		34.0	%	$	(1,084,498	)		34.0	%

At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the significant components of the deferred tax liabilities are summarized below:

	December 31, 2017			December 31, 2016

Deferred income tax liabilities:
Book to tax differences for fixed assets and intangible assets			181,703			287,153
Total deferred income tax liabilities		$	181,703		$	287,153

The deferred tax liability is mostly made up of the difference between book and tax values for property and equipment and intangible assets.

The Company has recorded as of December 31, 2017 a valuation allowance of $1,253,964 as management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future years. Management has based its assessment on the Company's lack of profitable operating history.

The Company annually conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017.

The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $5,196,903. Such amounts are subject to IRS code section 382 limitations and begin to expire in 2029. The tax years from 2014 - 2017 are still subject to audit.

Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative liabilities

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note dated July 19, 2017 (see "Note 7 – Convertible Notes Payable"). This note was evaluated under the guidance in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and was determined to have characteristics of a derivative liability. As a result of the characteristics of this note issued on July 19, 2017, the conversion options relating to previously issued convertible debt and outstanding Class A common stock warrants were also required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. Under this guidance, this derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives.

On the original issuance date of July 19, 2017, the initial fair value of the derivatives amounted to $1,044,457, which included a value of $911,764 relating to the $115,000 convertible note issued on July 19, 2017. The excess of the fair value over the book value of the note of $796,764 was recorded as a loss in the change in value of derivative liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, while $115,000 was recorded as a discount to the note payable (see Note 7). The remaining portion of the initial derivative fair value of $132,693 was recorded as a derivative liability and a reduction of additional paid-in capital. On November 2, 2017, the Company issued another convertible note which resulted in an additional $119,940 initial derivative fair value, which was also recorded as a derivative liability and reduction of additional paid-in capital.

As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of the derivative liability amounted to $271,588. The change in value of the derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the accompanying statements of operations amounted to a loss of $126,054.

The valuation of our embedded derivatives is determined by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. As such, our derivative liabilities have been classified as Level 3.

F - 23

The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the following key assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Expected dividend yield		0	%
Weighted average expected volatility		200	%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		2.38	%
Expected terms (years)	.50 to 2.67

Fair value measurements

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value of our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Execution of Securities Purchase Agreement; Acquisition of APF Well Testing

On April 5, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with American Precision Fabricators, Inc., an Arkansas corporation ("APF"), and Andy Galbach ("Galbach") and Clarence Carl Davis, Jr. ("Davis"), the owners of APF (the "Sellers"). Pursuant to the SPA, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares in APF (the "Transaction").

The total purchase price of $4,500,000, consisted of three components, the Cash Consideration, the Note Consideration, and the Convertible Note Consideration, as follows:

·	The Cash Consideration paid was $2,100,000, which was paid to Sellers at closing, $1,407,000 to Gallbach and $693,000 to Davis.

·	The Note Consideration consisted of two secured promissory notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,950,000 secured pursuant to a Guarantee and Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement"). The Notes are secured by the equipment, customer accounts and intellectual property of the Company, and all of the products and proceeds from any of the assets of APF. The Notes are due 10 years from the issuance date and have no monthly payments for the first 24 months, at which point a balloon payment is due. The Notes bear interest at 4.25% per annum.

·	The Convertible Note Consideration consisted of two secured convertible promissory notes (the "Convertible Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000, secured pursuant to the Security Agreement. The Convertible Notes are due in full in 36 months and bear interest at 4.25% per annum, and are convertible at any time into shares of Class A common stock at a rate of $1.00 per share.

In connection with the SPA, and as consideration for the Company to enter into the SPA, APF and Galbach entered into a Consulting Services Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"), pursuant to which Galbach agreed for a period of 90 days following the closing of the Transaction to provide strategic management services to APF, meet with APF's new management, and provide his knowledge in customer relations, trade and service implementation, and other business disciplines. Additionally, APF agreed to reimburse Galbach for his expenses incurred by Galbach in connection with providing the services under the Consulting Agreement.

On February 22, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended Agreement with the seller of VWES. Per the terms of the Amended Agreement, the two notes payable initially issued to the seller of VWES on January 1, 2017 for $1,500,000 and $300,000 are cancelled, along with the 379,403 shares of Alpine 4's Class A common stock and 75,000 warrants (see Note 9), and replaced with a new Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note for $3,000,000. The new note is due in semi-annual payments of $150,000 commencing on June 1, 2018 through June 1, 2020 and bears interest at 7% per annum. If the note is paid in full on or before June 1, 2018, the balance due will be discounted by $500,000. If the note is paid in full after June 1, 2018 and on or before December 1, 2018, the balance due will be discounted by $450,000. If the note is paid in full after December 1, 2018 and on or before June 1 2019, the balance due will be discounted by $350,000. If the note is paid in full after June 1, 2019 and on or before December 1, 2019, the balance due will be discounted by $250,000. If the note is paid in full after December 1, 2019 and on or before June 1, 2020, the balance due till be discounted by $200,000.

In connection with the Amended Agreement, the Company also issued an additional 100,000 shares of Class A common stock to the seller of VWES, and granted new warrants effective February 22, 2018 to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants are immediately vested and have a contractual life of 3 years.

The company paid off $381,500 in convertible notes since December 31, 2017.
