This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. All statements contained in this Annual Report other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations. The words "may," "continue," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "will," "believe," "project," "expect," "seek," "anticipate," "should," "could," "would," "potential," or the negative of those terms and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All of these forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at this time, and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements. Actual results could differ from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those identified in "Business," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere. We urge you to review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report, and those detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that attempt to advise you of the risks and factors that may affect our future results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, our ability to make good decisions about the deployment of capital, our substantial capital requirements and absence of liquidity, competition, our inability to obtain maximum value for our holdings, our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, our ability to execute our strategy, market valuations in sectors in which we operate, our need to manage our assets, and risks associated with our assets and their performance, including the fact that most have a limited history and a history of operating losses, face intense competition and may never be profitable, the effect of economic conditions in the business sectors in which our partner companies operate, compliance with government regulation and legal liabilities, all of which are discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or to persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report might not occur.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business

Beginning in fiscal year 2014, Singlepoint Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) made a strategic decision to transition from a technology-based solutions provider to an acquisition and development partner. We have provided and continue to provide expertise to fuel the growth of technology-driven businesses and emerging growth opportunities in consumer products and most recently solar. We typically acquire a significant equity stake in these business units. In many, but not all cases, we will also be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support, in addition to the influence we exert through our equity ownership. We also hold relatively small equity interests in other enterprises where we do not exert significant influence and do not participate in management activities. In some cases, these interests relate to former businesses we invested in. We are focused on supporting our existing businesses and maximizing monetization opportunities to return value to shareholders. We are committed to looking for additional opportunities that we believe have the potential to add additional value. We are and will consider initiatives including, among others: the sale of individual business segments, the sale of certain or all business interests in secondary market transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize shareholder value. We look to acquire businesses and build brands based on technology solutions we believe will increase efficiencies across various markets. We strive to create long-term value for our shareholders by helping our partner companies to increase their market penetration, grow revenue and improve cash flow.

In May 2019 the Company bought 51% of Direct Solar America (as defined below) a solar brokerage company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Direct Solar America currently works with homeowners to define the best solar installation provider and financer for their particular need. The unique brokerage model is scalable nationally and in its first 10 months of operation has expanded into multiple states and is expected to continue expanding into additional markets. In connection with this acquisition the Company has issued an aggregate value of approximately $2,000,000 in common stock and has committed to additional cash capital for business expansion upon business milestone goal achievements. In addition to the multistate expansion of the residential solar brokerage model, Direct Solar America post acquisition, has identified market opportunities related to small and medium commercial solar projects and has committed staff and resources adding to its core business competencies to pursue these types of underserved commercial solar opportunities. The majority of the targeted projects are comprised of commercial buildings, schools, parking lot structures looking for solar based solutions that offset and reduce traditional energy consumption through a green solution that saves them money while reducing their impact on the planet.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our businesses may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak or the related market decline and volatility.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets worldwide, including the businesses which we operate and own a percentage of. The recent market decline and volatility in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic could also materially and adversely affect any future potential acquisitions. Furthermore, with restrictions on travel, the limited ability to have meetings with personnel, vendors and services providers are expected to have an adverse effect on our businesses. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our businesses will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to achieve our strategic initiatives and grow our business as anticipated.

Beginning in fiscal year 2014, we made a strategic decision to transition from a technology-based solutions provider to an acquisition and funding development partner. Our strategic initiatives have required us to devote financial and operational assets to these activities. Our success depends on our ability to appropriately manage our expenses as we invest in these initiatives. If we are not able to execute on this strategy successfully or if our investments in these activities do not yield significant returns, our business may not grow as we anticipated, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Any disruption of service at our facilities or our third-party providers could interrupt or delay our customers’ access to solutions, which could harm our operating results.

Any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our services. Interruptions in our services may reduce our revenue, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our attrition rates and our ability to attract new customers, all of which would reduce our revenue. Our business would also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our services are unreliable.

Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of medical marijuana laws and regulations may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

Currently, there are 30 states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulation that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”), the policy and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis for personal use is prohibited. Until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and we may be deemed to be facilitating the selling or distribution of drug paraphernalia in violation of federal law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect revenues and profits of the Company. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of congressional activity, judicial holdings and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

The Company may provide services to and potentially handle monies for businesses in the legal cannabis industry.

Selling or distributing medical or retail cannabis is deemed to be illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act even though such activities may be permissible under state law. A risk exists that our services could be deemed to be facilitating the selling or distribution of cannabis in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act, or to constitute aiding or abetting, or being an accessory to, a violation of that Act. Such a finding, claim, or accusation would likely severely limit the Company’s ability to continue with its operations in this field.

The legal cannabis industry faces an uncertain legal environment on state, federal, and local levels.

Although we continually monitor the most recent legal developments affecting the legal cannabis industry, the legal environment could shift in a manner not currently contemplated by the Company. For example, while we think there will always be a place for compliance-related services, broader state and federal legalization could render the compliance landscape significantly less technical, which would render our suite of compliance services less valuable and marketable. Lending money to legal cannabis participants could also be subject to legal challenge if the federal government or another jurisdiction decides to more actively enforce applicable laws. These unknown legal developments could directly and indirectly harm our business and results of operations.

The solar industry faces imports from many different regions of the world and relies on incentives

Although there is the ability to import from all over the world, solar is mainly imported from China and similar areas. With ongoing political climate and ever-changing tariffs these issues could lead to increased price or slower production. In addition, the government could decide to decrease federal rebates which would price consumers out of the solar market unless tariffs on PV (photovoltaics) were removed to offset the cost of solar. Sales in the solar industry also currently relies on in home consultations. Given the recent COVID-19 pandemic people are social distancing which may lead to a decrease in sales.

We rely on third parties for certain financial and operational services essential to our ability to manage our business. A failure or disruption in these services could materially and adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively.

We rely on third parties for certain essential financial and operational services. Traditionally, the vast majority of these services are provided by large enterprise software vendors who license their software to customers. Moreover, these vendors provide their services to us via a cloud-based model instead of software that is installed on our premises. As a result, we depend upon these vendors providing us with services that are always available and are free of errors or defects that could cause disruptions in our business processes, which could adversely affect our ability to operate and manage our operations.

Many of our customers are small- and medium-sized businesses, which may result in increased costs as we attempt to reach, acquire and retain customers.

We market and sell our services to small- and medium-sized businesses. In order for us to improve our operating results and continue to grow our business, it is important that we continually attract new customers, sell additional services to existing customers and encourage existing customers to renew their subscriptions. However, selling to and retaining small- and medium- sized businesses can be more difficult than selling to and retaining large enterprises because small- and medium-sized business customers:

If we are unable to cost-effectively market and sell our service to our target customers, our ability to grow our revenue and become profitable will be harmed.

We may choose to raise additional capital. Such capital may not be available, or may be available on unfavorable terms, which would adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

We expect that our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. If we choose to raise additional funds, due to unforeseen circumstances or material expenditures, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, and any additional financings could result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.

Our market is subject to changing preferences; failure to keep up with these changes would result in our losing market share, thus seriously harming our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our customers and end users expect frequent product introductions and have changing requirements for new products and features. In order to be competitive, we need to develop and market new products and product enhancements that respond to these changing requirements on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our failure to do so promptly and cost effectively would seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.

Due to the nature of our business from time to time we may be involved in a variety of claims or litigations.

We have had a history of losses and may incur future losses, which may prevent us from attaining profitability.

We have a history of operating losses since our inception. We may incur operating losses in the future, and these losses could be substantial and impact our ability to attain profitability. We do not expect to significantly increase expenditures for product development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses; however, if we cannot increase revenue growth, we will not achieve or sustain profitability or positive operating cash flows. Even if we achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability or positive operating cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.

We cannot predict every event and circumstance that may impact our business and, therefore, the risks discussed herein may not be the only ones you should consider.

As we continue to grow our business, we may encounter other risks of which we are not aware as of the date of this Registration Statement. These additional risks may cause serious damage to our business in the future, the impact of which we cannot estimate at this time.

We will need additional funding if we intend on growing our portfolio companies and making future acquisitions. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our planned development.

We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. Furthermore, upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs or commercialization efforts.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

Until the time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenues, we plan to finance our cash needs through some combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

We have not generated any profit from combined operations since our inception. We expect that our operating expenses will increase over the next twelve months to continue our development activities. Based on our average monthly expenses and current burn rate, we estimate that our cash on hand as of December 31, 2019 will not sufficiently support our operation for the next twelve months. We do not expect to raise capital through debt financing from traditional lending sources since we are not currently generating a profit from operations. Therefore, we only expect to raise money through equity financing via the sale of our common stock or equity-linked securities such as convertible debt. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to operate our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional financing, we may need to curtail, discontinue or cease operations.

Risks Related to Employee Matters and Managing Growth

Our future success depends on our ability to retain our chief executive officer and other key executives and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

We are highly dependent on Gregory Lambrecht, our Chief Executive Officer, William Ralston, our President, as well as the other principal members of our management team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Lambrecht and Mr. Ralston providing for certain benefits, including severance in the event of a termination without cause, these agreements do not prevent them from terminating their employment with us at any time. We do not maintain "key person" insurance for any of our executives or other employees. The loss of the services of any of these persons could impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of our directors or executive officers and/or advisors including due to disease (such as COVID-19), disability or death, could have a detrimental effect on us.

In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors to assist us in formulating our development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to us.

Risks Associated with Our Capital Stock

Because we will become a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

Because we will not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock, and because we will not be listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we were to become a public reporting company by means of an IPO because they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development.

Our common stock may become subject to the SEC's penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in our securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a "penny stock" according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.

Our stock price may experience substantial volatility as a result of a number of factors, including:

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for FinTech (financial technology) and blockchain companies in particular, have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We currently have outstanding shares of preferred stock that have special rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporate transactions, inhibit potential changes of control and reduce the proceeds available to our common stockholders in the event of a change in control. Additionally, even after our preferred stock converts to common stock, certain of our stockholders will have rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporation transactions and inhibit changes of control.

We currently have outstanding two classes of stock, common stock and preferred stock, and there is one series of preferred stock, Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to super voting and super converting rights. As a result of the rights our preferred stockholders have, we may not be able to undertake certain corporate transactions, including equity or debt offerings necessary to raise sufficient capital to run our business, change of control transactions or other transactions that may otherwise be beneficial to our businesses. These provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the rights of our preferred stockholders.

We have never paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends on any of our capital stock and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be our common stockholders' sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Under the terms of our existing Articles of Incorporation, we cannot declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of our capital stock, other than dividends on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, unless we pay dividends to the holders of our preferred stock. Additionally, without special stockholder and board approvals, we cannot currently pay or declare dividends and will be limited in our ability to do so until such time, if ever, that we are listed on a stock exchange.

Our executive officers and directors have the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

Our executive officers and directors hold collectively 51,200,000 shares of our Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (each share votes as the equivalent of 50 shares of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote by the common stockholders), and as such, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act collectively, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and by-laws and under Nevada law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and by-laws, respectively, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public reporting company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public reporting company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, have imposed various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.

We currently have outstanding, and we may, in the future issue instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, which will result in additional dilution to you.

We currently have an outstanding instrument which is convertible into shares of common stock, and we may need to issue similar instruments in the future. In the event that these convertible instruments are converted into shares of common stock, or that we make additional issuances of other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to issue shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors or the then current market price.

Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Plan of Operation

We are a technology and acquisition company with a focus on acquiring companies that will benefit from the injection of growth capital and technology integration. Our portfolio companies include payments, hemp manufacturing and renewable energy solutions. Additionally, the Company has acquired a majority stake in four companies and a minority stake in three others. The Company is looking to tap into markets with exponential growth opportunities such as payments, hemp and renewables.

Results from Operations – For the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018.

Net Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had total sales of $3,343,833 and $1,154,671, respectively. The increase of $2,189,162 in revenues was due primarily to the integration of Singlepoint Direct Solar, LLC acquired on May 14, 2019.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased from $886,872 for the year ending December 31, 2018 to $2,353,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $1,466,184. This increase was due primarily to the increased revenues from our newly integrated subsidiary Singlepoint Direct Solar, LLC.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was $990,777 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $267,799, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in our overall gross profit was primarily a result of the newly integrated subsidiary Singlepoint Direct Solar, LLC.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased from $6,031,128 in 2018 to $6,455,236 in 2019, an increase of $424,108. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense of $1,739,965 due primarily a result of additional costs related to our newly acquired subsidiaries, our new office, marketing, insurance and travel. We had a decrease in consulting fees of $449,729 in the year ended December 31, 2019 from the year ending December 31, 2018, primarily from the issuance of common stock for services to consultants with a value of $800,000 in 2018. Professional and legal fees increased $68,868 for the year ending December 31, 2019, as compared to year ending December 31, 2018, primarily due to increased audit and legal expenses as a result of the Company becoming fully reporting with the SEC. Investor relations expense decreased from $340,188 for the year ending December 31, 2018, as compared to $168,177 for the year ending December 31, 2019, a decrease of $172,011, due primarily as a result of decrease use of investor relations consultants. For the year ending December 31, 2018, we incurred an impairment of goodwill of $762,985 related to the reduction in goodwill resulting from the purchase of JAG and ShieldSaver. For the year ending December 31, 2019 we did not incur any impairment of goodwill.

Other Expense

Other expense increased from $2,342,580 in 2018 to $2,604,274 in 2019 due primarily to the increase in interest expense and amortization of debt discounts as a result of our increase in convertible notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Net Loss

For the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company had a net loss of approximately $8,105,909 compared to a net loss of approximately $8,068,733 for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease in net loss of $37,176. The decrease in net loss is primarily a result of increased revenue and gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $2,421,717 in total assets, including $110,128 in cash, $49,228 of accounts receivable, $24,427 in prepaid expenses, $74,663 in inventory, and non-current assets of $2,163,271 related to property, investments and goodwill. The Company had negative working capital of $6,573,930 as of December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, and while the Company hopes to achieve profitable operations in the future, if not it may need to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, as well as its ability to raise capital. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to become profitable and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and/or manage operating expenses, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations.

To continue operations for the next 12 months we will have a cash need of approximately $1.5 million. Should we not be able to fulfill our cash needs through the increase of revenue we will need to raise money through outside investors through convertible notes, debt or similar instrument(s), including but not limited to the additional tranches available under the convertible notes with Iliad (Iliad Research and Trading, LP), CVP (Chicago Venture Partner, LP) and UAHC (UAHC Ventures, LLC) and GS Capital Partners. The Company plans to pay off current liabilities through sales and increasing revenue through sales of Company services and or products, or through financing activities as mentioned above, although there is no guarantee that the Company will ultimately do so.

Advances from Officer

The Company’s CEO advanced the Company funds during 2019 and 2018, with a balance due of $735,000 and $585,000 respectfully, plus accrued interest of $96,273 and $18,030 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These balances accrue interest at 12% beginning October 1, 2018, are unsecured and due on demand.

Our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized below:

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, $1,787,690 net cash was used in operating activities due primarily from our net loss of $8,068,733, partially offset by non-cash charges, including preferred stock issued for services of $3,100,000, common stock issued for services of $1,174,050, and amortization of loan costs of $1,662,068. For the year ended December 31, 2018, $1,640,428 net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the additional costs of the companies we acquired as well as an increase in SEO marketing during the year.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

We had no net cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $210,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as a result of the cash paid for investments and acquisition of subsidiaries in 2018.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,829,037 as compared to $1,004,131 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss Contingencies

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return benefits or consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We have not previously, nor do we intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Singlepoint Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Singlepoint Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – 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 since inception and expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Corporate History

Carbon Credits International Inc. (“CCII”), which was formed on October 15, 2007 as a Nevada corporation, was the result of a spin off from Carbon Credits Industries, Inc. (“CCI”), its former parent issuer, on October 17, 2007. On December 23, 2011, CCII entered into a merger agreement with Lifestyle Wireless, Inc. (“LWI”), a Washington Corporation, with CCII remaining as the surviving company. The effective date of the merger was January 10, 2012. On July 1, 2013, CCII changed its name to Singlepoint Inc. (“Singlepoint” or “the Company”). On May 14, 2019, the Company established a subsidiary, Singlepoint Direct Solar LLC (“SDS”), completing the acquisition of certain assets of Direct Solar LLC and AI Live Transfers LLC (See Note 3). The Company owns Fifty One Percent (51%) of the membership interests of SDS.

Business

The Company looks to acquire businesses and build brands based on technology solutions we believe will increase efficiencies across various markets. We strive to create long-term value for our shareholders by helping our partner companies to increase their market penetration, grow revenue and improve cash flow. We currently have three subsidiaries, Singlepoint Direct Solar LLC (“SDS”, 51% interest), Discount Garden Supply, Inc. (“DIGS”, 90% interest), and ShieldSaver, LLC (“ShieldSaver”, 51% interest).

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to develop the Company’s businesses and to achieve profitable operations. Since the Company does not anticipate achieving profitable operations and/or adequate cash flows in the near term, management will continue to pursue additional equity financing through private placements of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Singlepoint, DIGS and JAG as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (with JAG dissolved on July 26, 2019), the accounts of ShieldSaver as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and the period from August 31, 2018 (acquisition date) through September 30, 2018, and the accounts of SDS as of December 31, 2019 and the period from May 14, 2019 through December 31, 2019. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenues

It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In applying the new revenue recognition model to contracts with customers, an entity: (1) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identifies the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determines the transaction price; (4) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The accounting standards update applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. As this policy election is in line with the Company’s previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling activities under Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures. In accordance with the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company’s policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer.

Revenue Sharing

In addition to selling the Company’s products to customers, the Company recognizes revenues by sharing commissions with Independent Sales Organizations as an agent on a net basis.

These revenues do not comprise a material amount of the Company’s net sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of ninety days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company had no deposits in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC as of December 31, 2019.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with the Accounting Standards Committee (“ASC”) 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. It provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative financial instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative financial instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and is reclassified to equity. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of notes redemption

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets resulting from this net operating loss carryforward.

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with the ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Common stock equivalents are not used in the computation of loss per share, as their effect would be antidilutive. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, including stock issuable pursuant to the assumed exercise of warrants and conversion of convertible notes and Class A Preferred Stock. Dilutive EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding, and the dilutive shares.

The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to our convertible securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on January 1, 2011, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in accessible active markets.

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, convertible notes payable and advances from related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Certain non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Accordingly, these assets are not measured and adjusted to fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to periodic impairment tests.

The Company’s derivative liabilities have been valued as Level 3 instruments.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement are dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease are disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard was effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and was applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard resulted in a charge of approximately $14,000 to general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2019.

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows. Management has evaluated these new pronouncements through December 31, 2019.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

Other than the events described in Note 13, there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS, ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL

Investments

The Company records its investments using the cost method. If cost exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized unless the impairment is considered temporary.

The Company had total investments of $60,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Intangible Asset

On August 31, 2017, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately $346,000 in exchange for 1,000,000 WEED tokens, a digital crypto currency, which is reflected as an intangible asset on the accompanying balance sheet at $0 and $0 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization to determine whether impairment may exist. Intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the market for digital crypto currency, or other factors. Specifically, a comparison of our crypto currency to published market rates is used to identify potential impairment. The Company performed this evaluation of our intangible asset as of December 31, 2018 and determined impairment in full of $346,000 was necessary, primarily as a result of recent uncertainties in the crypto currency markets.

2019 Asset Acquisition – Direct Solar LLC/ AI Live Transfers LLC

On May 14, 2019, the Company, via the formation of SDS, completed the acquisition of certain assets of Direct Solar LLC and AI Live Transfers LLC (the “Acquired Assets”). The Company owns Fifty One Percent (51%) of the membership interests of SDS. In connection with the acquisition of these assets the Company issued an aggregate of 156,058,751 shares of common stock. The Company agreed that it shall reinvest into SDS its portion of distributions of Net Cash Flow (as defined in the Operating Agreement of SDS), if any, up to Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars per quarter, up to a total of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($750,000) Dollars.

The total value of common stock issued for the purchase of the Acquired Assets was $1,966,340 on the issuance date and was allocated to goodwill based on the workforce acquired. The total purchase price for the Acquired Assets was allocated as follows:

Total revenue of $2,031,743, net loss of $239,534, and contributed net loss of $122,162 after non-controlling interest related to SDS from the acquisition date of May 14, 2019 through December 31, 2019 is included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

ShieldSaver, LLC

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired a 51% equity stake in ShieldSaver, LLC for $170,000 cash and 6,979,167 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $216,354. As of December 31, 2018, the total purchase price for ShieldSaver, LLC was allocated as follows:

The 2018 acquisition of ShieldSaver LLC contributed approximately $11,000 of revenue and $3,000 of net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Goodwill

The following table presents details of the Company’s goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. Specifically, a goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units.

The Company used the discounted cash flow method for the impairment testing as of December 31, 2018. The Company performed discounted cash flow analysis projected over five years to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, using management’s best judgement as to revenue growth rates and expense projections. This analysis indicated cash flows (and discounted cash flows) less than the book value of goodwill. This analysis factored the recent reduction in revenue and projected revenue compared to the Company’s initial projections. The Company determined these were indicators of impairment in goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018 and impaired the goodwill by $762,985. The Company determined these were indicators of impairment to the value of goodwill related to ShieldSaver and JAG and recorded an impairment of goodwill in full of $762,985 at December 31, 2018.

The goodwill as of December 31, 2019 is provisional pending the finalization of the fair valuation of acquired assets.
