Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements were prepared by Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. (‘we”, “our”, the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 1, 2020. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

Description of Business

 

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.  Effective January 1, 2019, the Company purchased Morris Sheet Metal Corp., an Indiana corporation, JTD Spiral, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of MSM, an Indiana corporation, Morris Enterprises LLC, an Indiana limited liability company and Morris Transportation LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (collectively “Morris”) (see Note 9).  Effective November 6, 2019, the Company purchased Deluxe Sheet Metal, Inc., an Indiana corporation, DSM Holding, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, and Lonewolf Enterprises, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (collectively “Deluxe”) (see Note 9).  Effective February 21, 2020, the Company purchased Excel Fabrication, LLC., an Idaho Limited Liability Company (“Excel”) (See Note 9).  The Company is a technology holding company owning seven companies (ALTIA, LLC; Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. ("QCA"); American Precision Fabricators, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“APF”), Morris, Deluxe and Excel.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

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. The ultimate impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2020 will depend on, among other things, the ultimate severity and scope of the pandemic, the pace at which governmental and private travel restrictions and public concerns about public gatherings will ease, the rate at which historically large increases in unemployment rates will decrease, if at all, and whether, and the speed with which the economy recovers. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on our financial results during 2020 and beyond, but expect developments related to COVID-19 to materially affect the Company’s financial performance in 2020.

 


7



Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.  All advertising takes place at the time of expense.  We have no long-term contracts for advertising.  Advertising expense for all periods presented were not significant.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days.   As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.

Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.  As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, allowance for bad debt was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory for all subsidiaries, except Deluxe, is valued at weighted average and first-in; first-out basis for Deluxe. 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 three areas, raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.  Inventory, net at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consists of:

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 the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company determined that the customer list for APF was impaired and took a charge to earnings of $671,500.  During all other 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 September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the reporting units with goodwill were QCAand Morris.

 

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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company determined that the goodwill for APF was impaired and took a charge to earnings of $440,100.

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.  For additional information, please see Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606.

 

The following is a summary of the revenue recognition policy for each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

·executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;  

·identification of performance obligations in the respective contract; 

·determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract; 

·allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and  

·recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.  

 

The following is a summary of the revenue recognition policy for each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

ALTIA

 

Revenues recorded by ALTIA relate primarily to the Company’s 6th Sense Auto service.  The Company accounts for its revenue by deferring the total contract amount and recognizing the amounts over the monthly subscription period, ranging from 12 to 36 months.  

 

QCA and Excel Fabrication

 

QCA and Excel Fabrication are contract manufacturers and recognize revenue when the products have been built and control has been transferred to the customer.  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.

 

APF

 

APF is a contract manufacturer and recognizes revenue when the products have been built and control has been transferred to the customer.  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.

Morris Sheet Metal and Deluxe Sheet Metal

 

For our construction contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time as our performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as it is created or enhanced. Our fixed price construction projects generally use a cost-to-cost input method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation.  For certain of our revenue streams, that are performed under time and materials contracts, our progress towards complete satisfaction of such performance obligations is measured using an output method as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance completed to date.  Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost input method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-


11



up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs for a performance obligation indicate a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the unsatisfied performance obligation is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

 

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our construction projects when revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceed the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements, are billed pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings.  Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Contract assets are generally classified as current within the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contract liabilities from our construction contracts arise when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation.

 

Contract Retentions

 

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, accounts receivable included retainage billed under terms of our contracts. These retainage amounts represent amounts which have been contractually invoiced to customers where payments have been partially withheld pending the achievement of certain milestones, satisfaction of other contractual conditions or completion of the project.

 

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 debt and options.  The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation. 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.

 

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.


13



 

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

 

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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 was issued to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope. The new standard represents significant changes to accounting for credit losses.  Full lifetime expected credit losses will be recognized upon initial recognition of an asset in scope.  The current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met will be replaced with the expected credit loss impairment method without recognition threshold.  The expected credit losses estimate will be based upon historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  This ASU as amended by ASU 2019-10, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test referenced in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. As a result, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including any interim impairment tests within those annual periods, with early application permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.  The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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 as to the ability of 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 ultimate transition 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 the going concern uncertainty, the Company has a three-fold plan to resolve these risks.  First, the acquisitions of QCA, Morris, Deluxe and Excel have allowed for an increased level of cash flow to the Company.  Second, the Company is considering other potential acquisition targets that, like QCA, Morris, Deluxe and Excel 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 professional service firms to provide advisory services in connection with that capital raise.

 

Note 4 – Leases

 

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the future minimum financing and operating lease payments were as follows:

Finance Leases

 

On April 5, 2018, the Company acquired APF.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from APF was sold for $1,900,000, and leased back to the company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $15,833, subject to an annual increase of 2% throughout the term of the lease.  The Company had no gain or loss resulting from the sale of the property, and the resulting lease qualifies as a capital lease.  As a result, the Company has capitalized the cost of the building and the resulting capital lease obligation liability of $1,900,000.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above. On October 1, 2020 an amendment and consent to assignment was executed between the landlord and Excel and QCA.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired Morris.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from Morris was sold for $3,267,000, and leased back to the company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $27,500, subject to an annual increase of 2% throughout the term of the lease.  The transaction did not qualify as a sale and leaseback transaction under Topic 842 and as such was accounted for as a financing lease.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above.

 


15



On November 6, 2019, the Company acquired Deluxe.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from Deluxe was sold for $9,000,000, and leased back to the company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $75,000, subject to an annual increase of 2.5% throughout the term of the lease.  The transaction did not qualify as a sale and leaseback transaction under Topic 842 and as such was accounted for as a financing lease.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above.

 

On February 21, 2020, the Company acquired Excel.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from Excel was sold for $2,000,000, and leased back to the Company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $18,700 for the first five years, subject to annual increases throughout the term of the lease.  The transaction did not qualify as a sale and leaseback transaction under Topic 842 and as such was accounted for as a financing lease.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into three finance leases for equipment totaling $756,990. Each has a 60 month term with an interest rate ranging from 6.7% to 9%.

Note 5 – Notes Payable

 

In May 2018, APF secured a line of credit with Crestmark, providing for borrowings up to $1,000,000 at a variable interest rate, collateralized by APF’s outstanding accounts receivable.  In February 2019 the Company moved the Crestmark line of credit to FSW with a variable interest and collateralized by APF’s accounts receivable.  In January 2020 the Company received a default notice from Crestmark regarding noncompliance with certain loan covenants, including but not limited to, QCA’s failure to maintain a tangible net worth as contained in the loan agreement. QCA’s credit line with Crestmark totaled $2,800,000 and was restructured from an ABL line of credit to a ledger line of credit.  In addition, a minimum interest of 7.75% interest was imposed; an exit fee of 1% through January 31, 2021 and the financial covenant replaced with a requirement for QCA to maintain a free cash flow of at least $1.00 beginning with QCA’s financial statements as of January 31, 2020. The CEO has also validity guaranteed the $2.8 million line of credit with Crestmark. In addition with the acquisitions of Morris, Deluxe and Excel, the Company secured four lines of credit with Advanced Energy Capital for borrowings up to $6,250,000 at variable interest rates, collateralized by their respective accounts receivable.

On February 22, 2018, the Company issued a $3,000,000 note payable under the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note with the seller of VWES.  The note is secured by the assets of VWES and bears interest at 7% per annum and is due in semi-annual payments of $150,000 commencing on June 1, 2018, through June 1, 2020. The remaining principal and accrued interest is due on the 3 year anniversary.  The Company is not current on its payments on the note.  The balance as of September 30, 2020 is $2,857,500.

 

On April 5, 2018, the Company issued two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,950,000 (“Secured APF Notes”) as part of the consideration for the purchase of APF.  The Secured APF 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 Secured APF Notes bear interest at 4.25% per annum and have aggregate monthly payments of $19,975 for the first 23 months, with a balloon payment due in April 2020 for the remaining principal and interest outstanding.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company amended both of the notes.  The noteholders forgave all $450,000 of the $450,000 convertible notes (See Note 7) in exchange for an increase in their notes payable of $67,617.

One year after the closing date, the sellers will calculate monthly the 85/25 requirement to meet the Construction Industry Exemption for the Withdraw Liability (WDL). If the calculations verify Morris Sheet Metal Corp. and/or JTD Spiral, Inc. met the Exemption requirement for six consecutive months the Company will pay the sellers a $500,000 success fee.  In January 2020, the Company determined that the conditions were not met; therefore the Company is no longer required to pay the additional $500,000.

 

Simultaneous with the purchase of Morris, a building, owned by Morris prior to the acquisition, was sold in a sale-leaseback transaction agreement, whereby the building was leased from the buyer for 15 years.  The proceeds from the sale-leaseback of $3,267,000 were used to fund the cash consideration to the sellers.  The building and the lease is being treated as a financing lease (see Note 4).

Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements

 

Derivative liabilities

 

The Company has issued convertible notes payable that were evaluated under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and were determined to have characteristics of derivative liabilities.  As a result of the characteristics of these notes, 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. 

 

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.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the following key assumptions at December 31, 2019:

Fair value measurements

 

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.  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.  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 the derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  There were no derivative liabilities at September 30, 2020 as the convertible notes with variable conversion prices were repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

("we", “our”, or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014.  We are a publicly traded conglomerate that is acquiring businesses that fit into its disruptive DSF business model of Drivers, Stabilizers, and Facilitators.   At Alpine 4, we understand the nature of how technology and innovation can accentuate a business.  Our focus is on how the adaptation of new technologies even in brick and mortar businesses can drive innovation.   We also believe that our holdings should benefit synergistically from each other and that the ability to have collaboration across varying industries can spawn new ideas and create fertile ground for competitive advantages.  This unique perspective has culminated in the development of our Blockchain-enabled Enterprise Business Operating System called SPECTRUMebos.    

 

As of the date this Report was filed, the Company was a holding company that owned seven operating subsidiaries: ALTIA, LLC; Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc.; American Precision Fabricators, Inc.; Morris Sheet Metal, Corp; and JTD Spiral, Inc.; Deluxe Sheet Metal, Inc,; and Excel Fabrication, LLC. As discussed in more detail below, we previously had an additional subsidiary, Venture West Energy Services (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC). However, as of December 31, 2018, we discontinued operations on this company.  In the first quarter of 2020, we also created three additional subsidiaries to act as silo holding companies, organized by industries.  These silo subsidiaries are A4 Construction Services, Inc. (“A4 Construction”), A4 Manufacturing, Inc. (“A4 Manufacturing”), and A4 Technologies, Inc. (“A4 Technologies”). All three are Delaware corporations. Each is authorized to issue 1,500 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, and the Company is the sole shareholder of each of these three subsidiaries.  In July 2020, the Company began the process of expanding its subsidiaries QCA and Excel into APF’s Fort Smith, AR facility.   Over the next 6 months the Company will begin the repurposing of that facility to meet new ISO standards and other certifications held by QCA.

 

Business Strategy

 

What We Do:

 

Alexander Hamilton in his “Federalist paper #11”, said that our adventurous spirit distinguishes the commercial character of America.  Hamilton knew that our freedom to be creative gave American businesses a competitive advantage over the rest of the world.  We believe that Alpine 4 also exemplifies this spirit in our subsidiaries and that our greatest competitive advantage is our highly diverse business structure combined with a culture of collaboration.    

It is our mandate to grow Alpine 4 into a leading, multi-faceted holding company with diverse subsidiary holdings with products and services that not only benefit from one another as a 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.  The essence of our business model is based around acquiring B2B companies in a broad spectrum of industries via our acquisition strategy of DSF (Drivers, Stabilizer, Facilitator).  Our DSF business model (which is discussed more below) offers our shareholders an opportunity to own small-cap businesses that hold defensible positions in their individual market space.  Further, Alpine 4’s greatest opportunity for growth exists in the smaller to middle-market operating companies with revenues


31



between $5 to $150 million annually.  In this target-rich environment, businesses generally sell at more reasonable multiples, presenting greater opportunities for operational and strategic improvements that have greater potential to enhance profit.

 

Driver, Stabilizer, Facilitator (DSF) 

 

Driver:  A Driver is a company that is in an emerging market or technology, that has enormous upside potential for revenue and profits, with a significant market opportunity to access.  These types of acquisitions are typically small, brand new companies that need a structure to support their growth. 

 

Stabilizer:  Stabilizers are companies that have sticky customers, consistent revenue and provide solid net profit returns to Alpine 4. 

 

Facilitators:  Facilitators are our “secret sauce”.  Facilitators are companies that provide a product or service that an Alpine 4 sister company can use as leverage to create a competitive advantage. 

When you blend these categories into a longer-term view of the business landscape, you can then begin to see the value-driving force that makes this a truly purposeful and powerful business model.  As stated earlier, our greatest competitive advantage is our highly diversified business structure combined with a collaborative business culture, that helps drive out competition in our markets by bringing; resources, planning, technology and capacity that our competitors simply do not have.  DSF reshapes the environment each subsidiary operates in by sharing and exploiting the resources each company has, thus giving them a competitive advantage that their peers do not have.

How We Do It:

 

Optimization vs. Asset Producing 

 

The process to purchase a perspective company can be long and arduous.  During our due diligence period, we are validating and determining three major points, not just the historical record of the company we are buying.  Those three major points are what we call the “What is, What Should Be and What Will Be”.  

 

“The What Is” (TWI).  TWI is the defining point of where a company is holistically in a myriad of metrics; Sales, Finance, Ease of Operations, Ownership and Customer Relations to name a few. Subsequently, this is usually the point where most acquirers stop in their due diligence.  We look to define this position not just from a number’s standpoint, but also how does this perspective map out to a larger picture of culture and business environment.

 

 

“The What Should Be” (TWSB).  TWSB is the validation point of inflection where we use many data inputs to assess if TWI is out of the norm with competitors, and does that data show the potential for improvement.

 

 

“The What Will Be” (TWWB).  TWWB is how we seek to identify the net results or what we call Kinetic Profit (KP) between the TWI and TWSB.  The keywords are Kinetic Profit.  KP is the profit waiting to be achieved by some form of action or as we call it, the Optimization Phase of acquiring a new company.


32



 

Optimization:  During the Optimization Phase, we seek to root up employees with in-depth training on various topics.  Usually, these training sessions include; Profit and Expense Control, Production Planning, Breakeven Analysis and Profit Engineering to name a few.  But the end game is to guide these companies to: become net profitable with the new debt burden placed on them post-acquisition, mitigate the loss of sales due to acquisition attrition (we typically plan on 10% of our customers leaving simply due to old ownership not being involved in the company any longer), potential replacement of employees that no longer wish to be employed post-acquisition and other ancillary issues that may arise.  The Optimization Phase usually takes 12-18 months post-acquisition and a company can fall back into Optimization if it is stagnant or regresses in its training.  

 

Asset Producing:  Asset Producing is the ideal point where we want our subsidiaries to be.  To become Asset Producing, subsidiary management must have completed prescribed training formats, proven they understand the key performance indicators that run their respective departments and finally, the subsidiaries they manage must have posted a net profit for 3 consecutive months.

 

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 $35,457,916 as of September 30, 2020 a large amount was from non-cash issuance of stock to executives in 2015-2017.  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 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.

 

The management of Alpine 4 understands the basis for including a going concern in this filing.  However, management points out that over the past 6 years, Alpine 4 has consistently been able to operate under the current working capital environment and the going concern is nothing new or a recent event.  It is also not something that is unique to Alpine 4 and various other companies carry a Going Concern on their financial statements.  In order to mitigate the risk related with the going concern uncertainty, the Company has a three-fold plan to resolve these risks.  First, the acquisitions of QCA,  Morris, Deluxe and most recently Excel have allowed for an increased level of cash flow to the Company.  Second, the Company is considering other potential acquisition targets that, like QCA, Morris, Deluxe and Excel, should increase income and cash flow to the Company.  Third, the Company is exploring equity alternatives that can supplement ongoing cash needs.

Revenue

 

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $1,641,451 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.  In 2020, the increase in revenue related to $1,938,446 for Deluxe (acquired in November 2019); $797,217 for Excel (acquired in February 2020); and $557,990 for QCA; offset by a decrease of $1,067,417 for Morris (acquired in January 2019); $536,807 for APF and $47,978 relating to the 6th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA.  The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Deluxe and Excel.  We expect our revenue to continue to grow over the remainder of 2020.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $2,079,083 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.  In 2020, the increase in our cost of revenue related to $2,155,710 for Deluxe; $815,114 for Excel; $293,689 for QCA; and $20,431 relating to the 6th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA; offset by a decrease of $943,868 for Morris and $261,993 for APF. The increase in cost of revenue among all the different segments was the result of the increase in revenues as described above.  We expect our cost of revenue to increase over the next year as our revenue increases.

 

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $171,411 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.  The increase is due to the cost of operating the additional operations with the acquisitions of Deluxe and Excel offset by a reduction in expenses due to cross sharing of resources between corporate and our subsidiaries.

 


34



Other expenses

 

Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased by $3,596,001 as compared to the same period in 2019.  This decrease was primarily due to the change in derivative liability.

  

The following are the results of our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Revenue

 

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $5,918,079 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  In 2020, the increase in revenue related to $5,841,714 for Deluxe (acquired in November 2019); $2,831,939 for Excel (acquired in February 2020); and $137,941 for QCA; offset by a decrease of $1,709,846 for APF; $1,037,362 for Morris and $146,307 relating to the 6th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA.  The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Morris, Deluxe and Excel.  We expect our revenue to continue to grow over the remainder of 2020.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Our cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $6,010,912 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  In 2020, the increase in our cost of revenue related to $5,649,761 for Deluxe; $2,029,916 for Excel; $110,850 for QCA; offset by a decrease of $1,049,321 for Morris; $719,840 for APF; and $10,454 relating to the 6th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA. The increase in cost of revenue among all the different segments was the result of the increase in revenues as described above.  We expect our cost of revenue to increase over the next year as our revenue increases.


35



 

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $2,826,884 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The increase is a result of the impairment loss of $1,111,600 related to the customer list and goodwill for APF and also due to the cost of operating the additional operations with the acquisitions of Deluxe and Excel offset by a reduction in expenses due to cross sharing of resources between corporate and our subsidiaries.

 

Other expenses

 

Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased by $2,789,161 as compared to the same period in 2019.  This decrease was primarily due to the change in derivative liability and the change in fair value of contingent consideration.

 

Discontinued operations

 

In December 2018, we decided to shut down the operations of our VWES subsidiary.  In February 2019, VWES filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

 

VWES has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2019, VWES’ bankruptcy was completed, and the Company removed all the assets and liabilities of VWES, resulting in a gain on the disposition of discontinued operations of $2,515,028.

 

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 from our current operating cash flow and by the selling shares of our common stock and or debt instruments.

 

In April and May 2020 we received seven loans under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act totaling $3,896,107.  The loans have terms of 24 months and accrue interest at 1% per annum.  We expect some or all of these loans to be forgiven as provided by in the CARES Act.

 

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, the Company is monitoring additional businesses to acquire which management hopes 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.

 

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.

 

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

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to collection of receivables, impairment of goodwill, contingencies, calculation of derivative liabilities and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in material differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements.

For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 – Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

 

Item 3. Qualitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, September 30, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, many of which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and  (ii) inadequate control activities and monitoring processes over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
