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.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. Pursuant to these provisions:

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or until such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company.

We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of public float (3) the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities held by non-affiliates; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies.

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. While the Company expects the effects of the pandemic to negatively impact its results from operations, cash flows and financial position, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company has experienced customer delays and extensions for projects, supply chain delays, furloughs of personnel, increased utilization of telework, increased safety protocols to address COVID-19 risks, decreased installations and other impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is proactively working to adjust its operations to properly reflect the market environment during the immediate pandemic while maintaining sufficient resources for the expected rebound later this year. 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.

The Solar Market is very competitive, and it is difficult to determine if demand will continue to rise

If sufficient additional demand for residential solar energy systems does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, our ability to originate solar service agreements may decrease.  A material reduction in the retail price of electricity charged by electric utilities or other retail electricity providers would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Our growth is dependent on our dealer network and our failure to retain or replace existing dealers or to grow our dealer network could adversely impact our business.  We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers.  Rising interest rates may adversely impact our business.  Our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy system components and our business may be harmed to the extent the cost of such components stabilize or increase in the future.  We do not directly control certain costs related to our business, which could put us at a disadvantage relative to companies who have a vertically integrated business model.  We may be unsuccessful in introducing new service and product offerings, including our distributed energy storage services and energy storage management systems.  We face competition from centralized electric utilities, retail electric providers, independent power producers and renewable energy companies.  Developments in technology or improvements in distributed solar energy generation and related technologies or components may materially adversely affect demand for our offerings.  We and our dealers depend on a limited number of suppliers of solar energy system components and technologies to adequately meet demand for our solar energy systems. Due to the limited number of suppliers in our industry, the acquisition of any of these suppliers by a competitor or any shortage, delay, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation in our or our dealers' ability to obtain components or technologies we use could result in sales and installation delays, cancelations and loss of customers.  Increases in the cost of our solar energy systems due to tariffs imposed by the U.S. government could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Our operating results and our ability to grow may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our operating results for a particular period to fall below expectations.  If we are unable to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth would be limited, and any acquisitions we may make may reduce, rather than increase, our cash flows.  Our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions.

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

We continue to refine our strategic focus to center on providing renewable energy, environmentally friendly and healthy living solutions that are focused on sustainability. 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.

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 prices 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 has traditionally relied on in home consultations. Given the current COVID-19 pandemic people are social distancing following the guidelines outlined by health agencies which has led to a decrease in sales and a shift to a new virtual selling model that we are uncertain of its long-term effectiveness.

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 do not 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 are 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 are currently in litigation with the former Manager of our subsidiary Direct Solar America (along with other parties). The litigation is in its early stages and we are unable to determine the likelihood of success in this matter. In the event we lose this litigation our business and financial position could be materially adversely affected.

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 expect to 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 report. Certain of our key operational metrics, including estimated gross contracted customer value, are based on various assumptions and estimates we make that cover an extended period of time. Actual experience may vary materially from these estimates and assumptions and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on these metrics.  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 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. We need to obtain substantial additional financing arrangements to provide working capital and growth capital and if financing is not available to us on acceptable terms when needed, our ability to continue to grow our business would be materially adversely impacted and or  we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs or commercialization efforts. Servicing our existing debt requires a significant amount of cash. We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to timely pay our interest and principal obligations and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our payment obligations.

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, 2021, 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 key executives and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

We have been highly dependent on our Executive Officers, as well as the other principal members of our management team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Ralston and Mr. Lambrecht 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 became 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 became a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock, and because we are not 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 are four classes of preferred stock. The holders of our Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to super voting and super converting rights, and the holders of our other Classes of Preferred Stock have certain preferred rights in connection with future actions we may take (as discussed herein and contained in the Certificate of Designation for such Class of Preferred Stock). 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 common 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 approximately 22,309,285 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 may, in the future, issue instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, which will result in additional dilution.

We may need to issue instruments convertible into shares of common stock in the future. In the event that these convertible instruments are converted into shares of common stock, or that we make additional issuances of 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.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as discussed below are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.

On July 9, 2021 the Company and SinglePoint Direct Solar, LLC (“SDS” or “Direct Solar”) served a complaint (the “Company Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against Pablo Diaz Curiel, Kjelsey Johnson, and Brian Odle alleging, amongst other things, that the aforementioned individuals: (i) Interference with Direct Solar America’s existing and prospective business opportunities; (ii) Made unauthorized use of, claims of ownership, and/or offers for sale under direct Solar America’s commercial identity; (iii) Misappropriated trade secrets of Direct Solar America; (iv) Breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the Company and Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson (Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson); and (v) Breach of the Employment Agreement originally entered into between Direct Solar America and Mr. Diaz.

Also on July 9, 2021, the Company was served with a Complaint by Mr. Diaz (and certain other parties) against the Company and certain officers (and former officers) of the Company (the “Diaz Complaint”). On August 11, 2021, an Order was issued consolidating the Company Complaint and the Diaz Complaint which results in the two legal actions being consolidated into one matter and requiring Defendants to refile their Complaint as a counterclaim. A Counterclaim was submitted by Pablo Diaz Curiel, Kjelsey Johnson, Elijah Chaffino, Dan Shikiar, Jagusa Holdings, Inc. and Brian Odle against the Company and SDS, Greg Lambrecht, Wil Ralston and Corey Lambrecht.

The Counterclaim was filed September 11, 2021.

On July 14, 2021, the Company filed a First Amended Complaint (the “FAC”) adding parties Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation (SIRC), USA Solar Network, LLC, David Massey, Christina Berume and Jessica Hernandez in addition to Pablo Diaz Curiel, Kjelsey Johnson and Brian Odle as defendants. In the FAC, the Company alleges (amongst other things) that the defendants: (i) Misappropriated trade secrets; (ii) Breached the Asset Purchase Agreement (Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson); (iii) Breached the Employment Agreement (Mr. Diaz); (iv) Breached the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing (Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson); (v) Breached Fiduciary Duties (Mr. Diaz); (vi) Engaged in Unfair Competition; (vii) Violated the Arizona Uniform Trade Secrets Act; (viii) Intentionally Interfered with Contract/Business Expectancy; (ix) Converted assets of the Company; (x) Were Unjustly Enriched; and (xi) Committed Violations of the Lanham Act. On August 27, 2021, the Company filed a Second Amended Compliant which includes additional causes of action including Copyright Infringement (USA Solar Network, LLC) and Defamation (Mr. Diaz).

On September 10, 2021, Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation, USA Solar Network, LLC and David Massey filed a motion to dismiss the claims as it relates to such parties.

On February 22, 2022, a Senior Judge  signed the order stating that Defendants SIRC and Massey's Motion to Dismiss  was granted in part and denied in part. With respect to Defendant Massey, the Court dismissed all claims against him for lack of personal jurisdiction. With respect to Defendant SIRC, the Court dismissed the following claims from the Second Amended Complaint  under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6): (a) unfair competition (count seven); (b) intentional interference with contract/business expectancy (count nine); (c) conversion (count ten); and (d) unjust enrichment (count eleven). The remaining claims against Defendant SIRC survived the Motion to Dismiss and remain before the Court. The court ordered that Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Arbitration of all of Defendant Diaz's counterclaims under his Employment Agreement with SDS was granted. The Court ordered the dismissal of the following claims from the FAC: count three in its entirety, count six as to Defendant Diaz, and counts five, nine, ten, eleven, and thirteen as to Diaz, to the extent those claims are based on Diaz's rights and responsibilities under the Employment Agreement subject to arbitration. The court further ordered that Counterdefendants' Motion to Dismiss  was granted in part and denied in part.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. 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 focused on providing renewable energy solutions and energy-efficient applications to drive better health and living. We currently have core subsidiaries including solar and air purification. We built our portfolio through synergistic acquisitions, and partnerships to provide a rich, diversified holding base. The Company’s initial focus is on solar energy and we are committed to building a foundation for future expansion opportunities and building 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 and that complement our desire to build a comprehensive national renewable energy network. The Company is actively looking for and executing on strategic initiatives to sell, partner with or spin-off other non-renewable energy related assets.

Results from Operations – For the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020.

Net Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had total sales of $808,902 and $2,878,161, respectively. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to lower solar revenues resulting from the implementation of a new business model.

Cost of Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, cost of revenue was $736,746 and $2,204,391, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to the decreased revenues from our solar division.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was $72,156 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared with $673,770, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in our overall gross profit was primarily a result of lower revenues from our solar division.

Operating Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, total operating expenses were $5,687,490 and $3,972,882, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional and legal fees, impairment of goodwill, and investor relations, partially offset by a decrease in consulting fees. Professional and legal fees were $1,027,376 in 2021, compared to $316,239 in 2020, an increase of $711,137. The increase was due primarily to legal fees related to the Direct Solar legal matter, and acquisition activity. Impairment of goodwill was $680,772 in 2021 and related to Direct Solar, compared $0 in 2020. Investor relations expense was $539,195 in 2021, compared to $181,637 in 2020, an increase of $357,558.  The increase in investor relations expenses was primarily due to increased investor relations activity during the year.

Other Expense

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, other expense was $148,613 and $1,145,393, respectively.  The decrease was due primarily to $16,772 of amortization of debt discounts in 2021 compared to $2,174,273 in 2020, partially offset by a loss of $76,627 in 2021 on change in fair value of derivative liability and equity securities compared to a gain in 2020 of $1,552,249.

Net Loss

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, net loss was $5,763,947 and $4,444,505, respectively. The increase in net loss is primarily a result of lower revenues and higher operating costs in 2021, partially offset by lower “other expense” in 2021 compared to 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, 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 $3.0 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). 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

On May 18, 2021, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Separation Agreement”) with Gregory Lambrecht, former executive officer and director of the Company.  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement Mr. Lambrecht resigned as an officer and director of the Company and agreed to terminate his employment agreement with the Company.  The Company agreed to pay Mr. Lambrecht $764,480 due in unpaid accrued compensation and $606,372 in indebtedness plus accrued interest through the date of the Agreement (the “Accrued Debt”) as follows: (i) the Company agreed to issue Mr. Lambrecht 362,987 shares of Common Stock (with standard restrictive legend) valued at $0.75 per share, equaling $272,240, (ii) the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lambrecht  $250,000 within two business days of the date of the Separation Agreement, and (iii) the remaining amount of Accrued Debt of $848,612 will be satisfied through the issuance by the Company of a promissory note (the “Note”).  The Note provides for ten percent (10%) per annum interest commencing as of August 1, 2021.  The monthly payment amount of principal and interest shall be $21,523, with the first payment of $21,523 due September 1, 2021, and a final payment amount of $21,523 due on August 1, 2025. At December 31, 2021, the balance due was $804,896.

Our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 are summarized below:

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, $4,831,629 net cash was used in operating activities due primarily from our net loss of $5,373,015.  

Net Cash Provided in Investing Activities

We had $44,700 net cash used in investing activities for acquisition related expenses and purchases of property, plant, and equipment, in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $25,000 net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,869,341 compared to $2,018,724 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from long-term notes payable and proceeds from the sale of preferred stock Classes C and D.

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

None.

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, 2021 and 2020 and the related consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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.
