Forward Looking Statements

This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Except as required by applicable law, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Business Overview

Leafbuyer.com Platform

Our wholly owned subsidiary, LB Media Group, LLC has evolved and grown as a listing website to a comprehensive marketing technology platform that focuses on new customer acquisition and retention tools that include texting and loyalty and application software technology. With the increased popularity of Leafbuyer texting/loyalty program, clients can communicate through SMS, MMS as well as push notifications within a custom branded application. The platform gives dispensary owners the ability to target market their customer base by spending limits, brands, frequency, and product types. The Leafbuyer platform alerts consumers of specials as well as online ordering features that help create a more diverse product offering for our clients.  Through our total network program, text messages that are sent are converted into add units that are posted to Leafbuyer.com in real-time.  This is part of our “Live Deals” section and is up to the minute content that is 100% searchable the minute it goes live. This allows new customers more visibility into the latest deals and specials but also gives the dispensary a new opportunity to sign up a new customer.  Leafbuyer’s proprietary systems are integrated to form a seamless process for the user to locate, research, and compare prices on thousands of available products. Our website, Leafbuyer.com, and its progressive web application hosts a robust search algorithm similar to popular travel or hotel sites, where consumers can search the database for appealing offers. Consumers can also search through thousands of menu items and products, create a profile, sign up to receive deal alerts and place online orders for pick up or delivery. With a worldwide pandemic due to Covid-19 and the lockdowns, the need for an instant digital solution in the cannabis industry was put to the test in early March of 2020. We believe we answered that test with new technology enhancements that now include delivery features, increased POS integrations, real-time posting of messages to Leafbuyer.com, notifications through SMS/MMS and push notification technology and the ability to target market consumers buy spending habits.

The Leafbuyer Technology Platform reaches millions of cannabis consumers every month through its web-based platform, loyalty platform and smart application technology. Our website’s sophisticated vendor dashboard allows vendors to update menus, deals and create real-time messages to communicate to consumers 24/7. The platform also provides a robust reporting feature to track the vendors’ return on investment.

We continue an aggressive push into all legal cannabis states. Increasing our marketing and sales presence in new markets is a primary objective. Along with this expansion, we continue to develop new technologies that will serve cannabis dispensaries and product companies in attracting and retaining consumers.

Leafbuyer operates in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated industry that has been estimated by Fortune Business Insights to reach a global market size of 197 billion by 2028.  The founders and our Board of Directors have been, and will continue to be, aggressive in pursuing long-term opportunities.

In November of 2020 Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. completed a customizable white label application for our dispensary clients. Consumers have the ability to search, shop, earn rewards, place orders and communicate with their favorite stores all in one convenient application. The application can also be completely branded for the dispensary and allows for 24/7 communication with their patrons.

In April of 2022 Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. launched our data segmentation feature that allows dispensaries to target market their customers. Clients can direct messaging based on spending limits, product types, shopping frequency just to name a few and target market their customer base.  Through our advanced integrations, this feature helps increase ROI for the dispensaries and generates more revenue for Leafbuyer.  We will continue to expand this feature in the coming months to include more data points based on our customer’s needs.                  

In March of 2023 Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. launched the very successful “Total Network Solution” that allows dispensaries that send SMS and MMS text messaging to be posted in real-time to Leafbuyer.com.  This allows dispensaries access to new customers they can’t get with other competitors, and it helps them gain more signups through the platform.  The fresh content is updated in real-time and gives users of the site an opportunity to search thousands of deals nationwide.  

COVID -19 and Reduction of Costs

We were affected in 2020 by the COVID-19 outbreak and worldwide pandemic. We saw some postponements in orders in the first few weeks of March 2020 but by the end of March 2020 orders stabilized to a normal level. Many companies in 2020 including Leafbuyer were forced to operate remotely for most of the year which ultimately led to some cost saving benefits. With the effectiveness of a remote sales and development teams, we made the decision to reduce office space in California and Colorado which has significantly reduced costs on an annual basis. We then also made a significant pivot to enhance and automate our technology in 2020 in order to further reduce costs but also provide more tools to increase consumer engagement.

Cost Control  

One of our top priorities in 2022 has been reducing costs by building better more efficient technology, while converting some positions to part time and focusing on high margin products that help retain current customers.  In 2022 we achieved cash flow positive as a result of these measures.  In 2023 we have continued a focus on cutting and renegotiating system costs, credit card expenses and other insurance related costs to improve efficiencies of the company.  This has translated into thousands of dollars in monthly savings. 

The Team

We have 14 full-time employees and our headquarters are located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. In addition, we currently have sales teams in Colorado, Oklahoma and Iowa. Leafbuyer also has relationships with numerous contractors which it retains from time to time. A majority of our employees are involved in sales and customer service roles.

Growth State by State

As new states continue to legalize marijuana sales and the market expands, so does Leafbuyer. As of June 2023, Leafbuyer now works with clients in 26 legal states including California, Colorado, Washington, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Michigan and we are continuing our efforts to expand into all legal markets. Our primary focus are markets that have the most potential and that are continuing to expand and show stability.

The marginal cost for Leafbuyer to enter a market is minimal in comparison to growers or retail operations. In order for us to enter a new market, most of our costs include sales and marketing personnel and grassroots efforts to grow the consumer base in the new market. With the changing times of Covid-19, virtual meetings have doubled and are more accepted reducing the cost of travel and office space into smaller markets.

We have formed numerous partnerships in the industry with Point-of-Sale (“POS”) companies. We have solid integrations with 90% of the top POS companies and are continuing to work to deepen those capabilities as they are built.

2023 and Beyond

With 40 states with some form of legal cannabis and with the global market expanding the legal use of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes is expected to continue.

Our business model is designed to benefit from this trend. When a new state passes a medical or recreational cannabis law, we can start marketing to consumers and businesses in that state with minimal marginal cost. Because Leafbuyer is not involved in the production or sale of cannabis, we do not have to build expensive growing operations or open brick and mortar stores. As more states pass laws to offer legal cannabis products, we begin marketing into the state and sign-up dispensaries to use the Leafbuyer platform.

We are accelerating growth with our platform by offering custom branded applications. This product works in conjunction with our texting and loyalty platform to provide a truly unique value proposition. Text marketing is monetized through a monthly usage fee while the Custom Application is monetized as a monthly subscription fee.  We anticipate a significant reduction in provider costs over time as each application sold allows for push notifications which reduces our overall cost to send via SMS or MMS. 

We will also continue to grow organically through the aggressive deployment of sales and marketing resources into legal cannabis states. We understand that to obtain a significant market share in the industry in the future it will require us to look for acquisitions for a significant portion of that growth. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to locate and acquire such opportunities or that they will be on terms that are favorable to us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to the Business

We have minimal financial resources. Our company financial statements includes a footnote disclosure stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. operates in a highly regulated industry, is an early-stage company and has minimal financial resources. We had a cash balance of $445,721 as of June 30, 2023. We had an accumulated deficit of $24,435,698 at June 30, 2023. We may seek additional financing. The financing sought may be in the form of equity or debt financing from various sources as yet unidentified. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain the necessary financing to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Leafbuyer is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.

Leafbuyer’s operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge, Technology Development and business connections of, Rossner, Goerner and Breen our executive officers. They are under no contractual obligation to remain employed by Leafbuyer.  If they should choose to leave us for any reason or become ill and unable to work for an extended period of time before we have hired additional personnel, our operations could likely fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this Annual Report. We will likely fail without the services of our current executive officers (or hiring appropriate replacement(s)).

COVID -19 and Worldwide Pandemic Outlook

As we have mentioned, we were affected in 2020 by the COVID-19 outbreak and worldwide pandemic. We saw some postponements in orders in the first few weeks of March 2020 but by the end of March 2020 orders stabilized to an expected normal level. Many companies in 2020, including Leafbuyer, were forced to operate remotely for most of the year which ultimately led to some cost saving benefits. With the effectiveness of a remote sales and our development teams, we made the decision to reduce office space in California and Colorado which has significantly reduced costs on an annual basis. We also made a significant pivot to enhance and automate our technology in 2020 in order to further reduce costs and also provide more tools to increase consumer engagement.

Because we operate in the cannabis industry, we face a high risk of business failure due to the nature of advertising a federally Illegal product.

We were formed in April 2013. Our efforts to date have related to developing our business plan and beginning business activities. We face a high risk of business failure. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new businesses and the competitive environment in which we operate. We cannot assure you that future revenues will occur or be significant enough or that we will be able to sell our products and services at a profit, if at all. Future revenues and/or profits, if any, will depend on many various factors, including, but not limited to both initial and continued market acceptance of our website and the successful implementation of our planned growth strategy.

The regulation of cannabis in the United States is uncertain.

Our activities are subject to regulation by various state and local governmental authorities. Our business objectives are contingent upon, in part, compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals necessary for the sale of our products in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals would significantly delay our development of markets and products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, although we believe that our operations are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable state and local rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner that could limit or curtail our ability to distribute or produce marijuana. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the importation, distribution, transportation and/or production of marijuana, or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on us.

The cannabis industry is relatively new.

We are operating in a relatively new industry and market. In addition to being subject to general business risks, we must continue to build brand awareness in this industry and market share through significant investments in our strategy, production capacity, quality assurance and compliance with regulations. Research in Canada, the United States and internationally regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy and dosing of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol, or CBD, and tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, remains in relatively early stages. Few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids have been conducted. Future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements contained in the articles, reports and studies currently favored, or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to medical cannabis, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabis and the demand for our products and dispensary services.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that the cannabis industry and the market for medicinal and/or adult-use cannabis will continue to exist and grow as currently anticipated or function and evolve in a manner consistent with management’s expectations and assumptions. Any event or circumstance that adversely affects the cannabis industry, such as the imposition of further restrictions on sales and marketing or further restrictions on sales in certain areas and markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in hiring technical personnel because of the competitive market for qualified technical people.

Our future success depends largely on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain highly qualified technical personnel to provide our services. Competition for such personnel is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the technical personnel we require to conduct and expand our operations successfully and to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Our results of operations and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to attract, hire, train and retain such qualified technical personnel.

We will face competition from companies with significantly greater resources and name recognition.

The markets in which we will operate are characterized by intense competition from several types of solution and technical service providers. We expect to face further competition from new market entrants and possible alliances among competitors in the future as the convergence of information processing and telecommunications continues. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be better able to respond or adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sales of their services than us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully. In addition, we will be faced with numerous competitors, both strategic and financial, in attempting to obtain competitive products. Many actual and potential competitors may be part of much larger companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than us, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against any of those future competitors.

To continue to expand and innovate, we may need additional financing.

We will have to obtain additional financing in order to conduct our business in a manner consistent with our proposed operations. There is no guaranty that additional funds will be available when, and if, needed. If we are unable to obtain financing, or if its terms are too costly, we may be forced to curtail expansion of operations until such time as alternative financing may be arranged, which could have a materially adverse impact on our operations and our shareholders’ investment.

Risks Related to Our Securities

Our officers and directors currently own the majority of our voting power, and through this ownership, control us and our corporate actions.

Our current Board of Directors and executive officers hold approximately 35% of the voting power of our outstanding voting capital stock as of June 30, 2023. These parties have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. As such, these shareholders have the power to prevent or cause a change in control; therefore, without their consent we could be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us. The interests of our executive officers may give rise to a conflict of interest with us and our shareholders.

There is a substantial lack of liquidity of our common stock and volatility risks.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets platform under the symbol “LBUY.” The liquidity of our common stock may be very limited and affected by our limited trading market. The OTC Markets quotation platform is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges, and is subject to abuses, volatilities, and short selling. There is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for our common stock. An established trading market may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded.

The trading volume of our common stock may be limited and sporadic. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTC Markets may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. In addition, if our shares of common stock cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate price quotation as to the market value of, our common stock and as a result, the market value of our common stock likely would decline.

The market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to fluctuations in response to factors, including the following:

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Our common stock may never be listed on a major stock exchange.

We currently do not satisfy the initial listing standards and cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing, the trading price of our common stock could suffer, the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid, and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. A decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new services and continue our current operations. If our common stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.

Concentrated ownership of our common stock creates a risk of sudden changes in our common stock price.

The sale by any shareholder of a significant portion of their holdings (particularly of our existing significant shareholders and executive management) could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Sales of our currently issued and outstanding stock may become freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 and may dilute the market for your shares and have a depressive effect on the price of the shares of our common stock.

A number of the outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (“Rule 144”). As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a non-affiliate who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies quoted on the OTC Markets). A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market that may develop.

If we issue additional shares or derivative securities in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.

The Company has 700,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share as of June 30, 2023. On August 13, 2021 the Company filed Articles of Amendment to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada increasing the number of common shares from 150,000,000 to 700,000,000.

In addition, the Company has 10,000,000 preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share as of June 30, 2023.

Effective October 13, 2021, the Company executed and filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Corporation fixing the designations, power, preferences, and rights of the shares. The total of 324,325 shares of preferred stock series A with a par value of $0.001 per share, of the Corporation are hereby designated as Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock. These shares are not entitled to receive dividends and shall not be entitled to any liquidation preference. Further the holders shall have no conversion rights and the holders shall have the right to vote in an amount equal to 600 votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

We do not plan to declare or pay any dividends to our stockholders in the near future.

We have not declared any dividends in the past, and we do not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. We cannot assure you that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract management.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). These requirements are extensive. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. This may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Persons associated with securities offerings, including consultants, may be deemed to be broker dealers.

In the event that any of our securities are offered without engaging a registered broker-dealer, we may face claims for rescission and other remedies. If any claims or actions were to be brought against us relating to our lack of compliance with the broker-dealer requirements, we could be subject to penalties, required to pay fines, make damages payments or settlement payments, or repurchase such securities. In addition, any claims or actions could force us to expend significant financial resources to defend our company, could divert the attention of our management from our core business and could harm our reputation.

Future changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect reported results of operations.

A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct business.

“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult.

Trading in our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer that recommends our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

Our ability to issue preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock and may make takeovers more difficult, possibly preventing you from obtaining the optimal price for our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of “blank check” preferred stock, which would have the designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of our company.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “LBUY”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future. Our common stock commenced trading on April 5, 2017 under the symbol “APVT”.

The following quotations reflect the high and low bids for our common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

Holders

As of June 30, 2023, there were approximately 11,000 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

We have not paid cash dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our future earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

Equity Compensation Plans

We have an equity incentive plan that was established in February of 2017. Our Board of Directors may from time to time, in its discretion grant to our directors, officers, consultants and employees, non-transferable options to purchase our common stock, provided that the number of options issued do not exceed 25,000,000. The options are exercisable for a period of up to 4 years from the date of the grant. The number of shares authorized to be issued under the equity incentive plan was increased from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 through a consent of stockholders to amend and restate the equity incentive plan.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On July 2, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to the Investors in a private offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 7,211,538 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, at $0.624 per Share or a 20% discount to the closing price as of July 2, 2019, for gross proceeds of approximately $4,500,000 before deducting offering expenses. The shares were offered by us pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. We were obligated in accordance with the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) to register the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants described below, within 90 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement. All shares of the common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants have been registered.

As additional consideration for the purchase of the Shares, we agreed to issue to the Investors Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”). The number of shares for the Warrants and exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment; provided, however, on each of (i) the 3rd trading day following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement to be filed by us (the “Interim True-Up Date”), and (ii) the 6th trading day following the Effective Date (the “Final True-Up Date”), the exercise price shall be reduced, and only reduced, to equal the lower of (1) the then exercise price and (2) 100% of the lowest VWAP during the 2 trading days prior to the Interim True-Up Date or 5 trading days prior to the Final True-Up Date, as applicable, immediately following the Effective Date. The Series C Warrants, which are considered pre-funded, allow each Investor to purchase an amount of shares equal to the sum of (a) any shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that would have resulted in the beneficial ownership of greater than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, (b) on the 3rd trading day following the Effective Date, if 80% of the lowest VWAP during the 2 trading days immediately prior to such date (“Primary Effective Date Price”) is less than $0.624, then a number of shares of our common stock equal to such Investor’s Purchase Agreement purchase amount divided by the Primary Effective Date Price less any shares of our common stock (i) issued at the closing and (ii) issuable pursuant to clause (a) above, if any, and (c) on the 6th trading day following the Effective Date, if 80% of the lowest VWAP during the 5 trading days immediately prior to such date (“Secondary Effective Date Price”) is less than $0.624, then a number of shares of our common stock equal to such holder’s subscription amount at the closing divided by the Secondary Effective Date Price less any shares of common stock (i) issued at the closing, (ii) issuable pursuant to clause (a) above, if any or (iii) issuable pursuant to clause (b) above, if any. The Series C Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.001 per share.

We issued 30,299,998 shares of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as well as the exercise of the Series C Warrants and fees paid in shares of common stock. We received approximately $4,038,000, net of the placement fees, legal and other expenses incurred for the placement of the shares. The Investors received Series A Warrants to allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 7,018,091 shares of common stock which expired in July 2020 and were not exercised. The Series B Warrants allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 28,072,364 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.1603 per common share. If the Investors choose to exercise the Series B Warrants, we would receive proceeds of $4,500,000.

In the execution of the transactions referred to above we relied on the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The subscription agreements with the Investors contained representations to support our reasonable belief that the Investors had access to information concerning our operations and financial condition, the Investors acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution (in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration) and that the Investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the sale of securities did not involve a public offering; we made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the Investors; we obtained representations from the Investors regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the Investors either received or had access to adequate information about our company in order to make an informed investment decision.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. The discussions of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future.

We were initially formed as AP Event, Inc., (“APEI”) a Nevada corporation on October 16, 2014. APEI was originally in the business of travel agency to provide individual and group leisure tours to music festivals, and concerts combined with local excursions. On March 21, 2017 LB Media Group, LLC (“LB Media”) acquired eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding common stock of APEI. On March 23, 2017, APEI consummated an Agreement and Plan Merger (“Merger”) with LB Media and LB Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of APEI, whereby LB Acquisition was merged with and into LB Media Group, LLC. Simultaneously with the Merger, of APEI accepted subscriptions in a private placement (“Private Offering”) of our common stock. As a result of the Merger, LB Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant and following the consummation of the Merger and giving effect to the securities sold in the Private Offering, the members of LB Media beneficially own approximately fifty-five percent (55%) of our issued and outstanding common stock.

On March 24, 2017, we amended our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to (i) change our name to LeafBuyer Technologies, Inc., (ii) to increase the number of our authorized shares of capital stock from 75,000,000 to 160,000,000 shares of which 150,000,000 shares were designated common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares were designated “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share and (iii) to effect a forward split such that 9.25 shares of our common stock were issued for every 1 share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment (the “Split”).

On April 19, 2018, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”) with YA II PN Ltd. (“YA Investor”), a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership and an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LLC, whereby we sold, and the YA Investor purchased, 869,565 shares of our common stock for one million dollars ($1,000,000). Additionally, under the SEDA we may sell to the YA Investor up to $5,000,000 of shares of our common stock over a two-year commitment period. Under the terms of the SEDA, we may, from time to time, in our discretion, sell newly issued shares of our common stock to the YA Investor at a discount to market of 8% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the relevant pricing period. We are obligated to register the initial shares, the Commitment Shares (as defined below), and the shares of common stock issuable under the SEDA pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act.

During October and November 2018, we used the SEDA to receive $1,045,000. We issued 1,116,738 shares of our common stock which were valued at fair market at the date issued.

On November 6, 2018, we acquired a customer facing software (“Loyalty Software”) through a Stock Purchase Agreement, in which we acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Greenlight Technologies, Inc. (“GTI”) from its shareholders. At the time of the transaction, there were no employees working for GTI, no systems and no assets, other than the Loyalty Software. GTI’s legal entity was dissolved in the transaction and the Loyalty Software was assumed by us. Management determined that the purchase of GTI did not constitute a business purchase and recorded the transaction as a purchase of software. The consideration for the Loyalty Software was 2,916,667 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share and cash of approximately $450,000. Total value of the Loyalty Software was estimated at approximately $3,010,000. During the year ended June 30, 2020 an additional 366,667 of our shares of common stock (for a value of $262,500) was issued to shareholders of GTI as final settlement of the purchase agreement.

We issued 30,299,998 shares of common stock for the private placement and the issuance of Series C Warrants. We received approximately $4,060,000, net of the placement fees, legal and other expenses incurred for the placement of the shares. The Investors received Series A Warrants to allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 28,072,364 shares of our common stock, and Series B Warrants to allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 7,018,091 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.1603 per common stock share. 

The Company has 700,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share as of June 30, 2023. On August 13, 2021 the Company filed Articles of Amendment to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada increasing the number of common shares from 150,000,000 to 700,000,000.

In addition, the Company has 10,000,000 preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share as of June 30, 2023.

Effective October 13, 2021, the Company executed and filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Corporation fixing the designations, power, preferences, and rights of the shares. The total of 324,325 shares of preferred stock series A with a par value of $0.001 per share, of the Corporation are herby designated as Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock. These shares are not entitled to receive dividends and shall not be entitled to any liquidation preference. Further the holders shall have no conversion rights and the holders shall have the right to vote in an amount equal to 600 votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Our equity incentive plan was amended and restated by our Board of Directors in April 2020 to increase the number of options available from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000. 

Business Overview

Our wholly owned subsidiary, LB Media Group, LLC has evolved and grown from a listing website to a comprehensive marketing technology platform. Our clients, medical and recreational dispensaries, in legalized cannabis states, along with cannabis product companies subscribe to our technology platform to assist in new customer acquisition. We provide retention tools to those companies that include texting/loyalty and ordering ahead technology.

The Leafbuyer Technology Platform reaches millions of cannabis consumers every month through its web-based platform, loyalty platform and smart application technology. Our website’s sophisticated vendor dashboard allows our clients to update their menus, deals and create real-time messages to communicate with consumers 24/7. The platform also provides a robust reporting feature to track the vendors’ return on investment. With the increased popularity of Leafbuyer texting/loyalty program, clients can communicate through SMS, MMS as well as push notifications within a custom branded application.  Our website, and its progressive web applications, host a robust search algorithm like popular travel or hotel sites, where our clients' and customers can search the database for appealing offers. They can also search through thousands of menu items and products, create a profile, sign up to receive deal alerts and place online orders for pick up or delivery. In November of 2020 Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. completed a customizable white label application solution for the dispensary clients. Consumers can search, shop, earn rewards, place orders, and communicate with their favorite stores all in one convenient application. The application can also be completely branded for the dispensary and allows for 24/7 communication with their patrons.  Through this application we have been able to reduce costs, increase customer retention, and improve deliverability for our clients. In March of 2023 we launched our total network program that posts SMS/MMS messages directly to Leafbuyer.com from our texting and loyalty platform.  This gives our customers the ability to reach a brand new audience and also gain signups through Leafbuyer.com.  This gives us a competitive advantage over other texting companies and provides fresh content daily to users of Leafbuyer.com.    

We continue an aggressive push into all legal cannabis states. Increasing our marketing and sales presence in new markets is a primary objective. Along with this expansion, we continue to develop innovative technologies that will serve cannabis dispensaries and product companies in attracting and retaining consumers.

Leafbuyer operates in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated industry that, as has been  estimated by Fortune Business Insights to reach a global market size of 197 billion by 2028. Our founders and our Board of Directors have been, and will continue to be, aggressive in pursuing long-term opportunities.

We plan to grow organically through the aggressive deployment of sales and marketing resources into legal cannabis states. We understand that to obtain a significant market share we may need to look for acquisitions for a sizable portion of that growth. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to locate and acquire such opportunities or that they will be on terms that are favorable to us.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations for the years ended June 30, 2023, versus June 30, 2022

The following table summarizes the results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:

Revenues

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we generated $5,090,846 of revenues, compared to revenues of $2,666,829 during the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in text services which is up 34% over the prior year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to $2,248,060 for the period ended June 30, 2023, which was an increase of $370,231 over the same period last year of June 30, 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 29% to 44% for the period ended June 30, 2023 over June 30, 2022 because of lower 3^rd party text service expense.

Expenses

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we incurred total operating expenses of $2,668,283, including $1,951,013 in general and administrative expenses, and $717,270 in selling expenses. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we incurred total operating expenses of $2,698,313, including $1,923,845 in general and administrative expenses, and $774,468 in selling expenses. The decrease of $30,032 or 1% was primarily due to less payroll expense offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Management expects the general and administrative expenses to continue to decrease as management focuses on getting current operations to positive cash flow.

During the period ended June 30, 2022 we recorded a realized gain of $2,208,469 the estimated fair value of the derivative changed at the end of the period.

Other income during the period ended June 30, 2022 was the result of the SBA PPP loan forgiveness of $557,977, offset by recurring interest expense.

Interest expense was $168,440 for the yearend June 30, 2023 compared to interest expense of $205,815 for the same period ending June 30, 2022 because of the reduction in notes payable during the year.

Net Loss

During the year ended June 30, 2023 we incurred a net loss of $585,209, compared to a net profit of $955,695 for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements with existing cash on hand and/or the private placement of common stock or obtaining debt financing. There is, however, no assurance that the we will be able to raise any additional capital through any type of offering on terms acceptable to us, as we believe that existing cash on hand will be insufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months.

At June 30, 2023 we had $445,721 in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:

As of June 30, 2023, we had $445,721 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $2,018,527. We are dependent on funds raised through equity financing. Our cumulative net loss of $24,435,698 was funded by equity financing. During the year ended June 30, 2021 we raised gross proceeds of $557,977 in cash proceeds through government supported disaster relief programs and this was loan was forgiven during fiscal 2022

During the year ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided from operations was $422,592 compared to net cash used from operations of $317,394 for the same period ending June 30, 2022. The difference is primarily because of the lower net loss from operations realized in fiscal year 2023.

During the year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we did not use any cash for investing activities.

Net cash flow used for financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2023 was $344,116 compared to no cash used for financing activities during the same period in 2022.

Our increase in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended June 30, 2023, was primarily net cash provided from operating activities.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, our monthly cash requirements to fund our operating activities, was approximately $40,000, compared to approximately $85,000 during the year ended June 30, 2022. In the absence of the continued sale of our common and preferred stock or advances from related parties, our cash of 445,721 as of June 30, 2023 is insufficient to cover our current monthly burn rate for the next twelve months.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements with existing cash on hand and/or the private placement of common stock. There is, however, no assurance that we will be able to raise any additional capital through any type of offering on terms acceptable to us, as we believe that existing cash on hand will be insufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our audited financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our audited financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.

For revenue recognition arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Topic ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we evaluate the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

We recognize revenue upon completion of our performance obligations or expiration of the contractual time to use services such as bulk texting.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable to us. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on our financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The information required by Item 8 appears after the signature page of this report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting in order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2023. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time provided in the SEC rules and forms.

We believe that the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the current fiscal year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management’s Remediation Plan

In light of the control deficiencies identified at December 31, 2019, and described in the section titled “Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” we have designed and plan to implement the specific remediation initiatives described below:

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Family Relationships

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

Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past 10 years:

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is primarily concerned with the effectiveness of our accounting policies and practices, our financial reporting and our internal accounting controls. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit of our books, reviews the findings and recommendations of the independent registered public accounting firm at the completion of their audit, and approves annual audit fees and the selection of an auditing firm. The Audit Committee met three times during the year ended June 30, 2023.

The Audit Committee is presently composed of three members: Jeffrey Rudolph, Kristin Baca and Kurt Rossner. The Board of Directors has determined that Kristin Baca is considered “audit committee financial expert” (as defined by rules of the SEC) and that each of the “audit committee financial experts” meet the independence criteria.

Nomination Procedures for Directors

We do not have a nominating committee. Our Board of Directors selects individuals to stand for election as members of the Board and does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our security holders. Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when it considers a nominee for a position on our Board. If security holders wish to recommend candidates directly to our Board of Directors, they may do so by communicating directly with our President at the address specified on the cover of this annual report. There has not been any change to the procedures involved when our shareholders wish to recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

The following table sets forth the compensation paid or accrued by us to our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each of our other officers for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors or a committee performing similar functions. It is the view of the Board of Directors that it is appropriate for us not to have such a committee because of our size and because the Board of Directors participates in the consideration of executive compensation. None of our executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in our best interests and our shareholders to combine these roles. Kurt Rossner serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We believe it is in our best interest to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles combined due to our small size and limited resources.

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy and ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the Board of Directors appetite for risk. While the Board of Directors oversees our company, our company’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board of Directors leadership structure supports this approach.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth the ownership, as of June 30, 2023 of our common stock by each of our directors, by all of our executive officers and directors as a group and by each person known to us who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our securities. As of June 30, 2023, there were 99,428,575 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. All persons named have sole or shared voting and investment control with respect to the shares, except as otherwise noted. The number of shares described below includes shares which the beneficial owner described has the right to acquire within 60 days of June 30, 2023.

__________

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

On July 2, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to the Investors in a private offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 7,211,538 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, at $0.624 per Share or a 20% discount to the closing price as of July 2, 2019, for gross proceeds of approximately $4,500,000 before deducting offering expenses. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the Offering was subject to customary closing conditions. The Shares were offered by us pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. We were obligated in accordance with the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) to register the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants described below, within 90 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement.

As additional consideration for the purchase of the Shares, we agreed to issue to the Investors Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”). The number of shares for the Warrants and exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment; provided, however, on each of (i) the 3rd Trading Day following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement to be filed by us (the “Interim True-Up Date”), and (ii) the 6th trading day following the Effective Date (the “Final True-Up Date”), the exercise price shall be reduced, and only reduced, to equal the lower of (1) the then exercise price and (2) 100% of the lowest VWAP during the 2 trading days prior to the Interim True-Up Date or 5 trading days prior to the Final True-Up Date, as applicable, immediately following the Effective Date. The Series C Warrants, which are considered pre-funded, allow each Investor to purchase an amount of shares equal to the sum of (a) any shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that would have resulted in the beneficial ownership of greater than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, (b) on the 3^rd trading day following the Effective Date, if 80% of the lowest VWAP during the 2 trading days immediately prior to such date (“Primary Effective Date Price”) is less than $0.624, then a number of shares of common stock equal to such Investor’s Purchase Agreement purchase amount divided by the Primary Effective Date Price less any shares of common stock (i) issued at the closing and (ii) issuable pursuant to clause (a) above, if any, and (c) on the 6^th trading day following the Effective Date, if 80% of the lowest VWAP during the 5 trading days immediately prior to such date (“Secondary Effective Date Price”) is less than $0.624, then a number of shares of common stock equal to such holder’s subscription amount at the closing divided by the Secondary Effective Date Price less any shares of common stock (i) issued at the closing, (ii) issuable pursuant to clause (a) above, if any or (iii) issuable pursuant to clause (b) above, if any. The Series C Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.001 per share.

We issued 30,299,998 shares of common stock for the private placement and the issuance of the Series C Warrants. We received approximately $4,060,000, net of the placement fees, legal and other expenses incurred for the placement of the shares. The Investors received Series A Warrants to allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 28,072,365 shares of common stock, and Series B Warrants to allow the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 7,018,091 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.1603 per common share.

Related Person Transaction Policy

Our Board of Directors is responsible to approve all related party transactions. We have not adopted written policies and procedures specifically for related person transactions.

In March 2020, we entered into a promissory note with our Chief Executive Officer for $600,000 in exchange for a total of $565,000 cash payments. The note matured in December 2020 and $500,000 of principal payments have been made to date. The note is in default and due upon demand and the interest rate was increased to 12%.

In March 2020, we entered into a promissory note with our Chief Technology Officer for $50,000. The note matured on January 1, 2021 and $42,183 of principal payments have been made to date. The note is in default and due upon demand and the interest rate was increased to 12%.

Director Independence

We currently use NASDAQ’s general definition for determining director independence, which states that “independent director” means a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, that, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees for professional audit services and the fees billed for other services rendered by our auditors, in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and any other fees billed for services rendered by our auditors during these periods.

Since our inception, our Board of Directors, performing the duties of the audit committee, has reviewed all audit and non-audit related fees at least annually. The Board of Directors, acting as the audit committee, pre-approved all audit related services for the year ended June 30, 2023.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Description of Business

Description of Business

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)  was founded in 2012 by a group of technology and industry veterans and provides online resources for cannabis deals and specials. Our headquarters is located in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

The Company has evolved and grown as a listing website to a comprehensive marketing technology platform. Our clients, medical and recreational dispensaries in legalized cannabis states, along with cannabis product companies subscribe to our technology platform to assist in new customer acquisition and provide retention tools that include texting/loyalty and order ahead technology.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, we had $445,721 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $2,018,527. We are dependent on funds raised through equity financing. Our cumulative net loss of $24,435,698 was funded by equity financing and we reported a net loss from operations of $585,209 for the year ended June 30, 2023. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and / or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management believes that actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan of expansion of products, geographical locations we sell our services and deeper market penetration will generate additional revenues and eventually positive cash flow and provide opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate additional revenues and our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, LB Media. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Examples of estimates include loss contingencies; useful lives of our fixed assets and intangible assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; and stock-based compensation forfeiture rates. Examples of assumptions include: the elements comprising a software arrangement, including the distinction between upgrades or enhancements and new products; when technological feasibility is achieved for our products; the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 to conform to the presentation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit, and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides coverage for all accounts of up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $195,721 in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, as a charge to bad debt expense, where collection is considered to be doubtful due to credit issues. These allowances together reflect the Company’s estimate of potential losses inherent in accounts receivable balances, based on historical loss and known factors impacting its customers. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes certain development costs related to upgrades and enhancements to its cloud commerce platform when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Such development costs are capitalized when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These capitalized costs include external direct costs of services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs cease once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Post configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal use software costs are recorded as part of fixed assets and intangible assets and amortized using a straight-line method, over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three to seven years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use.

Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews identified intangible assets and long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Convertible Debt and Securities

The Company follows beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC 470-20, which applies to convertible stock as well as convertible debt. A beneficial conversion feature is defined as a nondetachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature guidance requires recognition of the conversion option's in-the-money portion, the intrinsic value of the option, in equity, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying amount of the instrument. The resulting discount is amortized as interest over the life of the instrument, if a stated maturity date exists, or to the earliest conversion date, if there is no stated maturity date. If the earliest conversion date is immediately upon issuance, the expense must be recognized at inception. When there is a subsequent change to the conversion ratio based on a future occurrence, the new conversion price may trigger the recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For all employee stock options, we recognize expense over the requisite service period on an accelerated basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

Options awarded to purchase shares of common stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services are accounted for as variable awards in accordance with the same principles as awards to employees. Such options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

See Note 8 for the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based employee and non-employee compensation.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities are exercised. Dilutive instruments had no effect on the calculation of earnings or loss per share during the year ended June 30, 2023. For the year ended June 30, 2022 warrants of 29,119,893, stock options vested as of the end of the period of 7,471,867 and Convertible Debt into 13,996,800 shares would have been included in the fully diluted weighted average calculation.

Leases

Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included in lease liabilities or ROU asset. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, a rate which approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Over the lease term, the Company uses the effective interest rate method to account for the lease liability as lease payments are made and the ROU asset is amortized in a manner that results in straight-line expense recognition.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $18,000,000 of net operating loss carry forward that was unrecognized tax benefits.

ASC Topic 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. There are no material uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2023, other than as disclosed in Note 6.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate and the net operating loss incurred after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely and the two year net operating loss carried back was eliminated (prohibited).

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

Costs of Revenue

Costs of revenue primarily consists of the costs associated with the operation of the Company’s platform, such as third party fees paid for texting services, server and hosting charges, technology support costs, amortization, maintenance costs, staff costs and other expenses directly attributable to the online marketplace services.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, and debt are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

ASC 820 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 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The Company has a derivative liability valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

Preferred Stock and Derivative Liability

The Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock conversion provisions meet the accounting requirements of FASB ASC 815 which requires a bifurcation of an embedded conversion feature and classification of the derivative as a liability on the balance sheet at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the derivative liability is estimated each period as a Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs based upon the numbers of common shares stock at an estimated conversion price.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The pronouncement will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The effect of the adoption of this pronouncement to the Company was immaterial.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and reduces the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and allows more contracts to qualify for equity classification. The pronouncement will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning December 15, 2020.

No other recent accounting pronouncements were issued by FASB and the SEC that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

Fixed Assets and intangible assets consist of the following:
