CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, commencement of business operations, business strategy, statements related to the expected effects on our business from the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “hope,” “intend,” “project,” “positioned,” or “strategy” or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and impact on the demand for the products we distribute; our ability to obtain the products from the manufacturer; actions governments, businesses, and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including mandatory business closures and restrictions on onsite commercial interactions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and action taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; our inability to sustain profitable sales growth; and circumstances or developments that may make us unable to implement or realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs, of our current and planned business initiatives. For a more thorough discussion of these risks, you should read this entire Report carefully, as well as the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Although management believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included in this Report are reasonable, such statements do not guarantee our future performance, and actual results could differ from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. In the light of these risks and uncertainties, all of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will in fact transpire. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Liquidity

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

While the Company experienced a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $6.8 million, and had a negative cash flow used in operations, there were several significant one-time / non-recurring items included in the $6.8 million net loss. These non-recurring items totaled $2.2 million, consisting of $350 thousand in new acquisitions expenses captured in professional fees, and other costs, and $1.8 million for repurchase of RSUs.

The Company received a total of approximately $54.0 million in February 2021 in the following two transactions:

·The Company raised approximately $45.0 million in net proceeds in connection with a registered direct offering of its stock and;

·The Company raised approximately $9.0 million in net proceeds in connection with an equity line of credit financing arrangement.

The Company has secured bank financing totaling $9.3 million ($8.3 million in Lines of Credit and $1.0 million in capital expenditures lines of credit availability) of which $5.6 million was unused at September 30, 2021.

The Company plans to continue to generate additional revenue (and improve cash flows from operations) partly from the acquisitions of three operating companies which closed in May 2021 and October 2021 combined with improved gross profit performance from the existing operating companies.

Based on the capital raise as indicated above and management’s plans to improve cash flows from operations, management believes the Company has sufficient working capital to satisfy the Company’s estimated liquidity needs for the next 12 months. The Company ended the September 30, 2021, quarter with approximately $5.4 million in cash and working capital of $9.3 million. As of the date of this Report, the Company had approximately $3.5 million in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid down liabilities of approximately $13.1 million. In addition, approximately $7.2 million was used to build inventory and for capital expenditures.

However, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful due to the current economic climate in the United States and globally.

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. In many instances, the Company could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s future financial

statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. The ultimate impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2021 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, and the speed with which the economy recovers. The Company is not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on the Company’s financial results during 2021 and beyond. COVID-19 did have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there was no impairment charge related to intangible assets and goodwill.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 and $444,845 in restricted cash, respectively, for amounts held in escrow.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of cash, and restricted cash reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows that agrees to the total of those amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

		September 30,		December 31,
		2021		2020
Cash	$	5,425,913	$	277,738
Restricted cash		-		444,845
Total cash and restricted cash shown in statement of cash flows	$	5,425,913	$	722,583

Major Customers

The Company had two customers that made up 16% and 18%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021. The Company had two customers that made up 10% and 8%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had one customer that made up 13% and 10% of total revenues, respectively.

Fair value measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (“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.

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, notes payable and lines 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.

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were required to be fair valued on a recurring basis.

Equity Investments

The Company’s equity investments consist of investment in one private company in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial activities. This investment is carried at cost as there is no market for the common stock and LLC membership units, accordingly, no quoted market price is available. The investment is tested for impairment, at least annually, and more frequently upon the occurrences of certain events.

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-01 and values the investment using the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Research and Development

The Company focuses on quality control and development of new products and the improvement of existing products. All cost related to research and development activities are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development cost totaled $1,096,333.

Earnings (loss) per shares

The Company presents both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted per share calculations give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and warrants, and using the treasury-stock method. If antidilutive, the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock is ignored. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented were the convertible debt, options and warrants. The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

		For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021				For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Note 3 – 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, 2021, the future minimum finance and operating lease payments were as follows:

		Finance		Operating
Twelve Months Ending September 30,		Leases		Leases
2022	$	1,895,925	$	175,319
2023		1,923,246		104,648

Less: current portion		(628,574)		(135,207)
Non-current financing leases obligations	$	15,489,693	$	219,682

As of October 1, 2020, the American Precision Fabricators, Inc. (“APF”) building lease with Harbor Island Properties, LLC was modified, assignment was transferred to Excel Fabrication, LLC (“Excel”), and Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. (“QCA”). As part of the modification, the lease was extended through 2037 and the payment terms were amended effective January 15, 2021. As a result of this amendment, the Company remeasured the finance lease liability and recorded an additional $279,287 to the related asset and finance lease liability on the date of the modification.

Note 8 – Business Combinations

Vayu (US)

Effective February 8, 2021, the Company purchased the assets of Vayu (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vayu”).

Under the provision of ASC 805, the Company had to determine whether this acquisition was a business combination or an asset (or a group of assets) acquisition. In doing so, the Company determined that the acquisition of Vayu was in fact an asset purchase. Of the consideration given for the Vayu acquisition more than 95% was concentrated in a single asset or a group of assets in Intellectual Property. As such, the Company accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-10-20. Accordingly, the assets acquired are initially recognized at the consideration paid, which was the fair value of the series D preferred stock issued, including direct acquisition costs, of which there were none. The cost is allocated to the group of assets acquired based on their relative fair values. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows at the acquisition date:

		Purchase Allocation
Cash	$	81,442
Property and equipment		50,000
Intellectual property		6,981,256
Non-solicitation covenant		90,000
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		(411,539)
SBA loan (PPP funds)		(137,850)

Series D Preferred Stock	$	6,653,309

Note 9 – Equity Investments

AmplifeiIntl LLC

On September 15, 2021, A4 Manufacturing, Inc. entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement acquiring approximately a 9% membership interest in AmplifeiIntl LLC (also doing business as Happinss), a Texas limited liability company. The membership interest is non-voting and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial activities. The equity investment is being valued using cost as there is no market for the membership units, and accordingly, no quoted market price is available. The investment is tested for impairment, at least annually, and more frequently upon the occurrences of certain events. As of September 30, 2021, the Company determined there was no impairment.

The membership interest was paid for as follows:

Accounts receivable converted	$	1,000,000
Cash		350,000
Total	$	1,350,000

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation with total confidence. As of the date of this Report, the Company was not aware of any legal proceedings or potential claims against it whose outcome would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, except as set forth below.

In June 2020, the Company’s subsidiary Excel Fabrication, LLC filed a lawsuit against Fusion Mechanical, LLC, in the Fifth Judicial District Court, State of Idaho (Case Number CV42-20-2246). The Company claimed tortious interference and trade secret violations by the defendant. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the Court. The defendant filed a second motion to dismiss and the Company filed a memorandum in response to the second motion to dismiss, for which a hearing was held on May 10, 2021. On June 11, 2021, the court issued a decision narrowing the claims of the plaintiffs to three items, breach of contract, good faith and fair dealings, and intentional interference for economic advantage. These were the Company’s three main points of contention. As of the date of this Report, discovery was proceeding. The Company intends to pursue vigorously its claims.

In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit, in the United States District Court, District of Arizona (Case No.2:20-cv-01679-DJH), against Alan Martin, the seller of Horizon Well Testing LLC (“HWT”) dba Venture West Energy Services, LLC. The Company brought claims for breach of contract, including but not limited to breaches of the seller’s representations and warranties in the purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of HWT. The defendant answered and counterclaimed, claiming breach by the Company of its obligation to issue a promissory note (to be issued in connection with the acquisition of HWT). The parties have engaged in discovery and settlement negotiations, both of which were ongoing as of the date of this Report. Additionally, a settlement conference is scheduled for November 18, 2021.

In May 2021, the Company and several shareholders filed a lawsuit, in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Case number 2:21-cv-00886-MTL) against Fin Capital LLC ("Fin Cap"), and Grizzly Research LLC ("Grizzly") alleging securities fraud, tortious interference with business expectancy and libel and slander for disseminating false and misleading statements about Alpine 4 and its employees to manipulate the stock price and further their own financial interests.

Overview and Highlights

Company Background

Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (“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 of this Report, the Company was a holding company that owned eleven operating subsidiaries:

-A4 Corporate Services, LLC;

-ALTIA, LLC;

-Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc.;

-Morris Sheet Metal, Corp;

-JTD Spiral, Inc.;

-Excel Construction Services, LLC;

-SPECTRUMebos, Inc.;

- Vayu (US), Inc.;

-Thermal Dynamics, Inc.;

-Alternative Laboratories, LLC.; and

-Identified Technologies Corporation.

In the first quarter of 2020, we 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”). In the first quarter of 2021, we formed additional silo subsidiaries: A4 Defense Systems, Inc. (“A4 Defense”); and A4 Aerospace Corporation, Inc. (“A4 Aerospace”). All of these 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 subsidiaries.

In March 2021, the Company announced the combination of its subsidiaries Deluxe Sheet Metal, Inc. (Deluxe) and Morris Sheet Metal Corporation (Morris) to become one of the largest sheet metal contractors in the Midwest region of the United States. Both companies will be under the Morris Sheet Metal brand. The Company’s management believes that the combination of these businesses will create a more harmonious relationship between the two companies. The combining of resources should empower Morris to strengthen its brand through its strategic banking relationship, eliminate duplicative and competitive interests, and expand its footprint beyond the Indiana home base.

On May 5, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Thermal Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Thermal Dynamics”).

In June 2021, the Company announced the combination of its subsidiaries Impossible Aerospace (“IA”) and Vayu (US) (“Vayu US”) to become Vayu Aerospace Corporation (“VAYU”). The Company’s management believes that the combination of these businesses will create a more harmonious relationship between the two companies. The combining of resources should empower VAYU to strengthen its brand through its strategic banking relationship, eliminate duplicative and competitive interests, and expand its footprint beyond the Michigan home base.

On October 20, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Identified Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Identified Technologies”).

Alpine 4 maintains its corporate office at 2525 E. Arizona Biltmore Circle, Suite C237, Phoenix, Arizona 85016. ALTIA works out of the corporate office. QCA rents a location at 1709 Junction Court #380 San Jose, California 95112. Deluxe Sheet Metal’s facilities are located at 6661 Lonewolf Dr, South Bend, Indiana 46628. Morris Sheet Metal and JTD Spiral are located at 6212 Highview Dr, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46818. Excel Construction Services’ office and fabrication space are located at 297 Wycoff Cir, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301. Impossible Aerospace’s headquarters are located at 2222 Ronald St, Santa Clara, California 95050. Vayu (US) has its headquarters at 3815 Plaza Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. The headquarters for TDI are located at 14955 Technology Ct, Fort Myers, FL 33912. Alt Labs has its headquarters at 4070 S. Cleveland Ave. Fort Myers, FL 33907. The Identified Technologies Corporation headquarters are located at 6401 Penn Ave, Suite 211, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

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 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.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception from existing revenue, 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 the first quarter of 2021, we raised approximately $54,000,000 through the sale of our common stock.

In April and May 2020, we received seven loans under the Paycheck Protection Program of the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act totaling $3,896,107. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company also acquired four loans totaling $1,799,725 due to acquisitions. 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. nine loans totaling $4,896,573 were forgiven during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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 and improved cash flows from operations including the two acquisitions that closed in May 2021. The Company also secured bank lines of credit totaling $9.3 million in 2021. 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 additional bank financing, engage in debt financing through a placement agent, or sell shares of its common stock in public or private offering transactions.

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 consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 – Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative 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, 2021. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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 and our Chief Financial 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. However, as discussed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, we have hired additional qualified accounting personnel, including a Corporate Controller. We have continued to address and mitigate these material weaknesses through the implementation and testing of controls and ensure that controls that are properly designed are adequately performed to appropriately address risk related to critical functionality. Management will continue to work to improve the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures throughout 2021 and we believe that we have made significant progress in a short period of time. Management will continue to work to improve the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures throughout 2021, with a goal of remediating the material weaknesses no later than December 31, 2022. We believe that we have made significant progress.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In June 2020, the Company’s subsidiary Excel Fabrication, LLC filed a lawsuit against Fusion Mechanical, LLC, in the Fifth Judicial District Court, State of Idaho (Case Number CV42-20-2246). The Company claimed tortious interference and trade secret violations by the defendant. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the Court. As of the date of this Report, discovery was proceeding. The defendant filed a second motion to dismiss and the Company filed a memorandum in response to the second motion to dismiss, for which a hearing was held on May 10, 2021. On June 11, 2021, the court issued a decision narrowing the claims of the plaintiffs to three items: breach of contract, good faith and fair dealings and intentional interference for economic advantage. These were the Company’s three main points of contention. As of the date of this Report, discovery was proceeding. The Company intends to pursue vigorously its claims.

In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Arizona (Case No.2:20-cv-01679-DJH), against Alan Martin, the seller of Horizon Well Testing LLC (“HWT”) dba Venture West Energy Services, LLC. The Company brought claims for breach of contract, including but not limited to breaches of the seller’s representations and warranties in the purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of HWT. The defendant answered and counterclaimed, claiming breach by the Company of its obligation to issue a promissory note (to be issued in connection with the acquisition of HWT). The parties have engaged in discovery and settlement negotiations, both of which were ongoing as of the date of this Report. Additionally, a settlement conference is scheduled for November 18, 2021.

In May 2021, the Company and several shareholders filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Case number 2:21-cv-00886-MTL) against Fin Capital LLC ("Fin Cap"), and Grizzly Research LLC ("Grizzly") alleging securities fraud, tortious interference with business expectancy and libel slander for disseminating false and misleading statements about Alpine 4 and its employees to manipulate the stock price and further their own financial interests. As of the date of this Report, Fin Cap has not been served with the Complaint. The Company plans to move for an order permitting public service of the Complaint on Fin Cap pursuant to Arizona law.

Item 1A.RISK FACTORS

Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors. However, many of the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report may be further heightened or exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We continue to face risks related to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have significantly disrupted our manufacturing, research and development, operations, sales and financial results, and could continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Our business has been and will continue to be adversely impacted by the effects of the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”), although we are seeking to resume and rebuild operations of all of our subsidiaries to pre-COVID-19 levels. Nevertheless, in addition to global macroeconomic effects, the COVID-19 outbreak and any other related adverse public health developments may continue to cause disruption to our international operations and sales activities. Our third-party manufacturers, suppliers, third-party distributors, sub-contractors and customers have been and will be disrupted by worker absenteeism, quarantines and restrictions on our employees’ ability to work, office and factory closures, disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure, border closures, or other travel or health-related restrictions. Depending on the magnitude of such effects on our manufacturing, assembling, and testing activities or the operations of our suppliers, third-party distributors, or sub-contractors, our supply chain, manufacturing and product shipments will be delayed, which could adversely affect our business, operations and customer relationships. In addition, COVID-19 and its variants or other disease outbreak will in the short-run and may over the longer term adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that will affect demand for our products and impact our operating results. There can be no assurance that any decrease in sales resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods. Although the magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business and operations remains uncertain, the continued spread of COVID-19 and any of its variants or the occurrence of other epidemics and the imposition of related public health measures and travel and business restrictions will adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, we have experienced and will experience disruptions to our business operations resulting from quarantines, self-isolations, or other movement and restrictions on the ability of our employees to perform their jobs that may impact our ability to develop and design our products in a timely manner or meet required milestones or customer commitments.

The impact on our operations of shortages, or additional shortages that may surface, related to COVID-19 is uncertain, but could potentially impact our future sales, manufacturing operations and financial results. Continued progression of these circumstances could result in a decline in customer orders, as our customers could shift purchases to lower-priced or other perceived value offerings or reduce their purchases and inventories due to decreased budgets, reduced access to credit or various other factors, and impair our ability to manufacture our products, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flow. While the current impacts of COVID-19 are reflected in our results of operations, we cannot at this time separate the direct COVID-19 impacts from other factors that cause our performance to vary from quarter to quarter. The ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not presently ascertainable. However, our results of operations in future periods may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions.
