Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months ended June 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
 

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited financial statements were prepared by Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. (the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2019. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
 
Description of Business
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014.  The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle to affect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business.  The Company is a technology holding company owning five companies (ALTIA, LLC; Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc. ("QCA"); Venture West Energy Services (“VWES”) (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC, currently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy); American Precision Fabricators, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“APF”) and Morris.   Effective January 1, 2019, the Company purchased Morris Sheet Metal Corp., an Indiana corporation, JTD Spiral, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of MSM, an Indiana corporation, Morris Enterprises LLC, an Indiana limited liability company and Morris Transportation LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (collectively “Morris”) (see Note 9).
 
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
7

Reclassification
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.  All advertising takes place at the time of expense.  We have no long-term contracts for advertising.  Advertising expense for all periods presented were not significant.
 
Cash
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days.   As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents.
 
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Major Customers
 
The Company had two customers that made up 15% and 11%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019.  The Company had two customers that made up 29 % and 27%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had two customers that made up 14% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had one customer that made up 23% of total revenues. 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.  As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, allowance for bad debt was $0 and $0, respectively.
 
8

Inventory
 
Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory's cost (weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with its net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to net realizable value, if lower.  Inventory is segregated into three areas, raw materials, work in progress (WIP) and finished goods.  Below is a breakdown of how much inventory was in each area as of June 30, 2019  and December 31, 2018:

Restricted cash consists of deposit account collateralizing letters of credit in favor of the counterparty in our lease financing obligation.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets .  This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset.  During all periods presented, there have been no impairment losses.
 
Goodwill
 
In financial reporting, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations.  All assessments of goodwill impairment are conducted at the individual reporting unit level.  As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the reporting units with goodwill were QCA, APF and Morris.
 
10

 The Company used qualitative factors according to ASC 350-20-35-3 to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount.  Based on the qualitative criteria the company believes there not to be any triggers for potential impairment of goodwill and therefore the Company has recorded no impairment of goodwill in any period presented.
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, notes and line of credit.  The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.  For additional information, please see Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under ASC Topic 605.

The Company recorded a net increase to its opening accumulated deficit of $178,202 as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC Topic 606, with the impact related to recognition of revenue and costs relating to the sales of the 6th Sense Auto service.  Under the new revenue standard, sales of the Company’s 6th Sense Auto service, which includes a hardware and a monthly subscription component, are required to be treated as a single performance obligation and recognized over time.  As a result, the deferred revenue increased by $279,736 and capitalized contract costs increased by $101,534.  The impact to the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 was a net increase of $279,736 to revenue and a net increase of $101,534 to cost of revenue as a result of applying ASC Topic 606. 

 Revenues under ASC Topic 606 are recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  The following is a summary of the revenue recognition policy for each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

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

QCA
QCA is a contract manufacturer and recognizes revenue when the products have been built and control has been transferred to the customer.  If a deposit for product or service is received prior to completion, the payment is recorded to deferred revenue until such point the product or services meets our revenue recognition policy.  Management assesses the materiality and likelihood of warranty work and returns, and records reserves as needed.  For all periods presented, management determined that the warranty and returns would be immaterial.

 APF
APF is a contract manufacturer and recognizes revenue when the products have been built and control has been transferred to the customer.  If a deposit for product or service is received prior to completion, the payment is recorded to deferred revenue until such point the product or services meets our revenue recognition policy.  Management assesses the materiality and likelihood of warranty work and returns, and records reserves as needed.  For all periods presented, management determined that the warranty and returns would be immaterial.
11

Morris
Morris is a mechanical contractor and recognizes revenue when the services have been performed to the customer.  If a deposit for product or service is received prior to completion, the payment is recorded to deferred revenue until such point the product or services meets our revenue recognition policy.  Management assesses the materiality and likelihood of warranty work and returns, and records reserves as needed.  For all periods presented, management determined that the warranty and returns would be immaterial.
 
Earnings (loss) per share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented were the convertible debentures, but they are anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred. 
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation . Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
 
The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets.  Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period. To the extent that the financial results of operations improve, and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.
 
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
12

  Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.  If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Related Party Disclosure

ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures , requires companies to include in their financial statements disclosures of material related party transactions. The Company discloses all material related party transactions. Related parties are defined to include any principal owner, director or executive officer of the Company and any immediate family members of a principal owner, director or executive officer.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842) . ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.   ASU 2016-02 and additional ASUs are now codified as ASC 842, Leases . ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 Leases , and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements.  The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective transition approach and did not restate its comparative periods.  The Company elected to utilize the “package” of three expedients, as defined in ASC 842, which retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $676,944.  As the right of use asset and the lease payable obligation were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
 
Note 3 – Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has recurring losses and a working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company requires capital for its operational and marketing activities.  The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's plan of operations, and its ultimate transition to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

13

 
In order to mitigate the risk related with the going concern uncertainty, the Company has a three-fold plan to resolve these risks.  First, the acquisitions of QCA, APF and Morris have allowed for an increased level of cash flow to the Company.  Second, the Company is considering other potential acquisition targets that, like QCA and Morris, should increase income and cash flow to the Company.  Third, the Company plans to seek new non-convertible debt agreements to fund any deficits in cash requirements.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.
 
As of June 30, 2019, the future minimum financing and operating lease payments, net of amortization of debt issuance costs, were as follows:

Finance Leases
 
In 2016, the Company sold a building and used the money to purchase QCA.  Because this is a financing transaction, the sale is recorded under "financing lease obligation" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and amortized over the 15-year term of the lease.  The term of the lease has been extended through September 30, 2032 at a monthly rate of approximately $69,000.  These payments are reflected in the table above.
 
On April 5, 2018, the Company acquired APF.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from APF was sold for $1,900,000, and leased back to the company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $15,833, subject to an annual increase of 2% throughout the term of the lease.  The Company had no gain or loss resulting from the sale of the property, and the resulting lease qualifies as a capital lease.  As a result, the Company has capitalized the cost of the building and the resulting capital lease obligation liability of $1,900,000.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above.
 
On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired Morris.  In order to fund a portion of the acquisition price, the Company simultaneously entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a third-party lender whereby the building acquired from Morris was sold for $3,267,000, and leased back to the company for a period of 15 years at a monthly rate of $27,500, subject to an annual increase of 2% throughout the term of the lease.  The transaction did not qualify as a sale and leaseback transaction under Topic 842 and as such was accounted for as a financing lease.  The payments related to this lease are reflected in the table above.

A letter of credit of $1,000,000 is to be provided to the landlord in the above QCA financing lease obligation, of which $207,311 had been satisfied as of June 30, 2019.

One year after the closing date, the sellers will calculate monthly the 85/25 requirement to meet the Construction Industry Exemption for the Withdraw Liability (WDL). If the calculations verify Morris Sheet Metal Corp. and/or JTD Spiral, Inc. met the Exemption requirement for six consecutive months the Company will pay the sellers a $500,000 success fee.  The Company anticipates that this contingency will be met and it will be obligated to pay the additional $500,000.

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

American Precision Fabricators (“APF”)

On April 5, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with APF, an Arkansas corporation, and Andy Galbach ("Galbach") and Clarence Carl Davis, Jr. ("Davis"), the owners of APF (the "Sellers").  Pursuant to the SPA, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares in APF.

The total purchase price of APF from the SPA amounted to $4,500,000, which consisted of aggregate cash consideration paid to the Sellers of $2,100,000, an aggregate of $1,950,000 of secured promissory notes due to the Sellers (see Note 5), and an aggregate of $450,000 of convertible promissory notes due to the Sellers.  At the closing date, the Company and the Sellers agreed to a reduction of the purchase price of $123,250, resulting from a net working capital adjustment which was deducted from the cash consideration due to the Sellers.  As a result, the total purchase price of APF was $4,376,750.

A summary of the purchase price allocation at fair value is below.  During the period ended June 30, 2019, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation.  As a result the Company took a charge to earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2019 for $65,833 for amortization on the customer list from the purchase date to June 30, 2019.

Note 11 – Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements
 
Derivative liabilities

The Company has issued convertible notes payable that were evaluated under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and were determined to have characteristics of derivative liabilities.  As a result of the characteristics of these notes, the conversion options relating to previously issued convertible debt and outstanding Class A common stock warrants were also required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities under ASC 815.   Under this guidance, this derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives. 

The valuation of our embedded derivatives is determined by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.  As such, our derivative liabilities have been classified as Level 3.

The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the following key assumptions at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Fair value measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
23

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value of our derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
 
Overview and Highlights

Company Background

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

The Company was a holding company that owned five operating subsidiaries: ALTIA, LLC; Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc.; American Precision Fabricators, Inc.; Morris Sheet Metal, Corp; and JTD Spiral, Inc. (As discussed in more detail below, we previously had an additional subsidiary, Venture West Energy Services (formerly Horizon Well Testing, LLC). However, as of December 31, 2018, we discontinued operations on this company.)

Business Strategy

Alpine 4's strategy is to provide Fortune 500-level execution strategies in its subsidiary companies and market segments to businesses and companies that have the most to benefit from this access.

Alpine 4 feels this opportunity exists in smaller middle market operating companies with revenues between $5 to $150 million.  In this target rich environment, businesses generally sell at more reasonable multiples, presenting greater opportunities for operational and strategic improvements and have greater potential for growth.   Implementation of our strategy within our holdings is accomplished by the offering of strategic and tactical MBA-level training and development, delivered via the following modules:

-
Alpine 4 Mini MBA program; and

-
An Alpine 4 developed ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning system) and collaboration system called SPECTRUMebos.  SPECTRUMebos is what we are defining as an Enterprise Business Operating System (ebos).  This system will combine the key technology software components of Accounting and Financial Reporting, an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP), a Document Management System (DMS), a Business Intelligence (BI) platform and a Customer Resource Management (CRM) hub which will be tethered to management reporting and collaboration toolsets. Management believes that these tools will help drive real-time information in two directions: first, to the front lines by empowering customer-facing stakeholders; and second, back to management for planning, problem solving, and integration.   Management believes that SPECTRUMebos will be the technology "secret sauce" in managing our portfolio of companies and, in time, may be offered to external customers.

26

Business Seasonality and Product Introductions

Following the acquisition of the Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc., VWES and APF, and with the newly acquired dealership pilot and contract for ALTIA, LLC, the Company expects to experience higher net sales in its third and fourth quarters compared to other quarters in its fiscal year.   Each company has varying seasonality to their sales and will be reflected in the financial statements.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had accumulated a deficit of $32,487,259 as of June 30, 2019.  The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities.  The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.  Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.  Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the management's assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern.

The management of Alpine 4 understands basis for including a going concern in this filing.  However, the management points out that over the past 4 years, Alpine 4 has consistently been able to operate under the current working capital environment and the going concern is nothing new or a recent event.    In order to mitigate the risk related with the going concern uncertainty, the Company has a three-fold plan to resolve these risks.  First, the acquisitions of QCA, APF and Morris have allowed for an increased level of cash flow to the Company.  Second, the Company is considering other potential acquisition targets that, like QCA and Morris, should increase income and cash flow to the Company.  Third, the Company is exploring debt options that can supplement on going cash needs.

Revenue

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased by $2,854,495 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  In 2019, the increase in revenue related to, $287,866 for APF (acquired in April 2018), and $2,870,574 for Morris (acquired in January 2019) offset by a decrease of $130,227 relating to the 6 th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA and $173,718 for QCA.  The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of APF and Morris.  We expect our revenue to continue to grow over the remainder of the year.

Cost of revenue

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased by $2,807,812 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  In 2019, the increase in our cost of revenue related to $68,859 for QCA, $205,810 for APF (acquired in April 2018), and $2,546,796 for Morris (acquired in January 2019) offset by a decrease of $13,653 relating to the 6 th Sense Auto and Brake Active services of ALTIA. The increase in cost of revenue among all the different segments was the result of the increase in revenues as described above.  We expect our cost of revenue to increase over the next year as our revenue increases.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased by $63,123 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase consisted primarily of an increase to general and administrative expenses associated with the operations of Morris which were acquired in January 2019.

Other expenses

Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased by $4,591,788 as compared to 2018.  This increase was primarily due to the amortization of debt discounts and the change in the value of the derivative liability.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception from the sale of common stock, capital contributions from stockholders and from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable.  We expect to continue to finance our operations from our current operating cash flow and by the selling shares of our common stock and or debt instruments.

Management expects to have sufficient working capital for continuing operations from either the sale of its products or through the raising of additional capital through private offerings of our securities. Additionally, the Company is monitoring additional businesses to acquire which management hopes will provide additional operating revenues to the Company.  There can be no guarantee that the planned acquisitions will close or that they will produce the anticipated revenues on the schedule anticipated by management.

The Company also may elect to seek bank financing or to engage in debt financing through a placement agent.  If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital from operations or through sales of its securities or other means, we may need to delay implementation of our business plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to collection of receivables, impairment of goodwill, contingencies, calculation of derivative liabilities and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in material differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. 
 
For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 – Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Qualitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, June 30, 2019. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer.
 
31

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, many of which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and  (ii) inadequate control activities and monitoring processes over financial reporting.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
