PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION
DATED June 12, 2020
SINGLEPOINT INC.
Up to 320,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 320,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by GHS Investments LLC (“Selling Stockholder” or “GHS”). The shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder may be issued pursuant to the equity financing agreement dated April 21, 2020 (the “Financing Agreement”), that we entered into with the Selling Stockholder. See below for a description and additional information on the Financing Agreement and “Selling Stockholder”. The prices at which GHS may sell the shares of common stock will be determined by the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock or in negotiated transactions.
The Financing Agreement with Selling Stockholder provides that Selling Stockholder is committed to purchase up to $7 million of our common stock. We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement.
The Shares included in this prospectus represent a portion of the shares issuable to Selling Stockholder under the Financing Agreement.
Selling Stockholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Financing Agreement. No other underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering.
Our common stock is currently available for quotation on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “SING”. On June 1, 2020, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB Market was $.0052 per share.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares of common stock offered by Selling Stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds in the event we put shares to GHS under the Financing Agreement.
We will pay the expenses incurred in registering the shares of common stock, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution”

Risk factors:
You should carefully read and consider the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 7 and all other information set forth in this prospectus before investing in our common stock.
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.
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 regulations 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 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:
●
are more price sensitive;
●
are more difficult to reach with broad marketing campaigns;
●
have high churn rates in part because of the nature of their businesses;
●
often lack the staffing to benefit fully from our application suite’s rich feature set; and
●
often require higher sales, marketing and support expenditures by vendors that sell to them per revenue dollar generated for those vendors.
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 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 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:
•
make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
•
receive the purchaser's prior written agreement to the transaction;
•
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and
•
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed.
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:
•
sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock;
•
the success of competitive products or technologies;
•
announcements about us or about our competitors, including new product introductions and commercial results;
•
the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
•
developments concerning our licensors or manufacturers;
•
litigation and other developments;
•
actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;
•
variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; and
•
general economic, industry and market conditions.
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.
Risks Related to This Offering
The sale of our common stock to GHS may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by GHS, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Pursuant to the Financing Agreement with GHS, GHS has committed to purchase up to $7,000,000 of our common stock. The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Financing Agreement may be sold by us to GHS at our discretion from time to time over a 24-month period commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Financing Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to GHS under the Financing Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to GHS. Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to GHS will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to GHS all, some, or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Financing Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to GHS, after GHS has acquired the shares, GHS may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to GHS by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to GHS, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
GHS will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.
We will sell common stock to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement at 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock for ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding a notice to purchase shares. GHS has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If GHS sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, GHS may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds and purchase additional shares to sell. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.
We may not have access to the full amount under the financing agreement.
The amount of $7,000,000 was selected based on our potential use of funds over the effective time period to enable us to complete the development of our programs. Our ability to receive the full amount is largely dependent on the daily dollar volume of stock traded during the effective period. Based strictly on the current daily trading dollar volume up to April 2020, we believe it is unlikely that we will be able to receive the entire $7,000,000. We are not dependent on receiving the full amount to execute our business plan and can still progress with our business until we are able to raise funds for business development. There is no assurance that we will ever raise enough funds.
On April 21, 2020, the Company entered the Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement GHS agreed to purchase up to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) in shares of the Company’s common stock, from time to time over the course of twenty four (24) months after effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) of the underlying shares of Common Stock (the “Contract Period”).
The Financing Agreement grants the Company the right, from time to time at its sole discretion (subject to certain conditions) during the Contract Period, to direct GHS to purchase shares of Common Stock on any business day (a “Put”), provided that at least ten trading days has passed since the most recent Put. The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock contained in a Put shall be eighty percent (80%) of the lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Common Stock for ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the Put. No Put will be made in an amount less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or greater than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). In no event is the Company entitled to make a Put or is Investor entitled to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by GHS, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.
The Financing Agreement shall terminate upon any of the following events: when GHS has purchased an aggregate of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) in the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement; on the date that is twenty-four (24) calendar months from the date the Registration Statement is declared "Effective"; at such time that the Registration Statement is no longer in effect; by the Company at any time, after ninety (90) calendar days notice following the closing of any Put; or upon thirty (30) calendar days after written notice by the Company if no Put Notices have been delivered. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to GHS under the Financing Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. The net proceeds under the Financing Agreement to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to GHS.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Registration Statement within 30 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock offered by Selling Stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Financing Agreement. The proceeds from our exercise of the Put right pursuant to the Financing Agreement will be used for general administrative expense, payment of debt, business development, as well as for legal, accounting and audit fees.
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Stockholder, GHS, of shares of our common stock that may be issued to GHS pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with GHS on April 21, 2020, concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement, in which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by GHS of the shares of our common stock that may be issued to GHS under the Purchase Agreement.
GHS, as the Selling Stockholder, may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we may issue to GHS under the Purchase Agreement. The Selling Stockholder may sell some, all or none of its shares. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.
The following table presents information regarding the Selling Stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects its holdings as of June 1, 2020. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 1,803,070,015 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 1, 2020.

Although the Financing Agreement provides that we may sell up to $7,000,000 of our common stock to GHS, only 320,000,000 shares of our common stock are being offered under this Prospectus, which represents shares of our common stock that may be sold by us to GHS from time to time over the Contract Period (as defined in the Financing Agreement) commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we may need to sell to GHS under the Financing Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $7,000,000 total commitment available to us under the Financing Agreement. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional shares. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by GHS is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to GHS under the Financing Agreement.
(3)
The number assumes the Selling Stockholder sells all of its shares being offering pursuant to this prospectus although the Selling Stockholder is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock at this time.
This prospectus relates to the resale of 320,000,000 Shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Selling Stockholder consisting of Put Shares that we will put to Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Financing Agreement.
The Selling Stockholder and any of their respective pledgees, assignees, and successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·
privately negotiated transactions;
·
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or
·
a combination of any such methods of sale.
According to the terms of the Financing Agreement, neither Selling Stockholder nor any affiliate of Selling Stockholder acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any short sales during the term of this offering.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.
GHS is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
GHS has informed us that it intends to use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. GHS has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from GHS that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the Selling Stockholder and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor GHS can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive.
We know of no existing arrangements between GHS or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers and any compensation from the Selling Stockholder, and any other required information.
Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a Selling Stockholder, except we have agreed to pay deposit and clearing fees up to $1,000 per Put. The Selling Stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock.
We have advised GHS that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.
GHS is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until GHS has sold all of the common shares purchased by it under the Financing Agreement and has no right to acquire any additional shares of common stock under the Financing Agreement. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by Selling Stockholder. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Financing Agreement.
As of June 1, 2020, we had 5,000,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,803,070,015 shares outstanding.

Convertible Instruments
The following is a description of the material terms of the convertible instruments which remain outstanding as of March 31, 2020 (all capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have that meaning set forth in the applicable agreement referenced):
In October 2017, the Company entered into transactions with two investors (collectively the “Investors”), whereby the parties entered into two separate agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements) whereby the investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of $4,640,000 principal amount of Secured Promissory Notes (in separate tranches, the “Secured Promissory Notes”).
The Securities Purchase Agreements provides that the Investors pay to the Company an aggregate of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) upon execution and one of the Investors issued to the Company the thirteen different notes (one of which was paid with the aforementioned payment (collectively the “Secured Investor Notes”)) for the balance of the principal amount of the Secured Promissory Notes. The Company agreed to secure the Secured Promissory Notes by all of its assets as set forth in the Security Agreement.
The Secured Promissory Notes provide for the following (material) terms: an original issue discount of an aggregate of Four Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($440,000), including reimbursement for certain fees; provided Company has not received a Lender Conversion notice or a Redemption notice where the Conversion shares have not yet been delivered, and no event of default exists, then, on five days notice the Company can prepay outstanding balance; right at any time after six (6) months from the Purchase Price Date until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, including without limitation (a) until any Optional Prepayment Date (even if Lender has received an Optional Prepayment Notice) or at any time thereafter with respect to any amount that is not prepaid, and (b) during or after any Fundamental Default Measuring Period, at its election, to convert (each instance of conversion is referred to herein as a “Lender Conversion”) all or any part of the Outstanding Balance into shares (“Lender Conversion Shares”) of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company as per the following conversion formula: the number of Lender Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Lender Conversion Price (as defined below). All Lender Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Lender. Subject to adjustment, the price at which Lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into Common Stock is $0.075 (the “Lender Conversion Price”). However, in the event the Market Capitalization falls below the Minimum Market Capitalization at any time, then in such event (a) the Lender Conversion Price for all Lender Conversions occurring after the first date of such occurrence shall equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion, and (b) the true-up provisions shall apply to all Lender Conversions that occur after the first date the Market Capitalization falls below the Minimum Market Capitalization, provided that all references to the “Redemption Notice” in shall be replaced with references to a “Lender Conversion Notice” for purposes, all references to “Redemption Conversion Shares” shall be replaced with references to “Lender Conversion Shares”, and all references to the “Redemption Conversion Price” shall be replaced with references to the “Lender Conversion Price”; Except with respect to Excluded Securities, if the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time the Note is outstanding, shall sell, issue or grant any Common Stock, option to purchase Common Stock, right to reprice, preferred shares convertible into Common Stock, or debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities to Lender or any third party which are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Equity Securities”), including without limitation any Deemed Issuance, at an effective price per share less than the then effective Lender Conversion Price (such issuance is referred to herein as a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, the Lender Conversion Price shall be automatically reduced and only reduced to equal such lower effective price per share; Adjustment of conversion price upon subdivision or combination of common stock; Redemption rights: the conversion price for each Redemption Conversion (as defined below) (the “Redemption Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) the Lender Conversion Price, and (b) the Market Price. Beginning on the earlier of the date that is twelve (12) months after the Purchase Price Date and the date that is ninety (90) days from the date that Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), but in no event earlier than the date that is six (6) months from the Purchase Price Date, Lender shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Note (such amount, the “Redemption Amount”) by providing Company with a notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and each date on which Lender delivers a Redemption Notice, a “Redemption Date”). Payments of each Redemption Amount may be made (a) in cash, or (b) by converting such Redemption Amount into shares of Common Stock (“Redemption Conversion Shares”, and together with the Lender Conversion Shares, the “Conversion Shares”) (each, a “Redemption Conversion”) per the following formula: the number of Redemption Conversion Shares equals the portion of the applicable Redemption Amount being converted divided by the Redemption Conversion Price, or (c) by any combination of the foregoing, so long as the cash is delivered to Lender on the second Trading Day immediately following the applicable Redemption Date and the Redemption Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender on or before the applicable Delivery Date.
The principle balance outstanding under the Secured Promissory Notes was $619,490 as of March 31, 2020.
Secured Investor Notes (11)
Each Secured Investor Note provides that the Investor will pay the Company Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and accrue 10% interest per annum. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, under each Note, shall be due and payable on the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date thereof (the “Investor Note Maturity Date”); provided, however, that Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the Investor Note Maturity Date for up to thirty (30) days by delivering written notice of such election to Company at any time prior to the Investor Note Maturity Date. Prepayment is permitted, in part or in full. on the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof (the “Conditional Prepayment Date”), Investor shall be obligated to prepay the outstanding balance of this Note if the each of the following conditions is met: (a) the average and median daily dollar volumes of the Common Stock on Company’s principal market for the twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined in the Secured Promissory Note) immediately preceding the Conditional Prepayment Date are greater than $200,000.00; (b) the average of the Closing Bid Prices (as defined in the Note) for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conditional Prepayment Date is greater than $0.01; and (c) no Event of Default (as defined in the Company Note) under the Secured Promissory Note shall have occurred as of the Conditional Prepayment Date. The Secured Investor Notes are secured by a Pledge Agreement. Upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Secured Investor Notes are repaid in full and (ii) at Investor’s election, the date that is six (6) months and three (3) days following the execution of the Pledge Agreement, or such later date as specified by Investor in its sole discretion (the “Termination Date”), the Pledge Agreement and all security interests granted thereunder with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) shall terminate.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share (subject to adjustment) for a period of five years. If the Company does not timely deliver the shares of common stock due upon exercise, the warrant provides that the Company will pay, in addition to all other remedies available, a late charge equal to the greater of (i) $500.00 and (ii) 2% of the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued on a timely basis and multiplied by (2) the Closing Trade Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock without violating this Warrant, rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 (such resulting amount, the “Warrant Share Value”) (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each exercise shall not exceed 200% of the Warrant Share Value), per Trading Day until such Warrant Shares are delivered.
10% Convertible Redeemable Note – Iliad Note
On November 5, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note payable to investor (the “Iliad Note”). The Iliad Note bears interest at 10% and matures on November 5, 2020. Total available under the Iliad Note is $5,520,000, including $500,000 OID (and $20,000 in legal fees taken on first $500,000 tranche). The Iliad Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock after 180 days at a discount of 35% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days prior to conversion. The total principal amount outstanding under the Iliad note was $2,495,000 as of March 31, 2020.
10% Convertible Redeemable Note
On March 11, 2020, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement with GS Capital Partners, LLC (“GS Capital”), whereby GS Capital agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1,440,000 principal amount of 10% Convertible Redeemable Note (the “GS Capital Note”). Below is a description of the material terms of the transaction (all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have that definition assigned to it as per the related agreement).
The first issuance and sale of the first $360,000 portion of the GS Capital Note pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on approximately March 11, 2020. The purchase price for the $360,000 portion shall be $330,000 representing the original issue discount of $30,000. GS Capital retains the right to purchase the unfunded balance of the GS Capital Note (the “Unfunded Balance”) for a period of nine months, provided that each purchase must be in an amount of no less than $360,000. Any rights to purchase a portion of the Unfunded Balance outstanding after nine months shall be terminated and GS Capital shall have no rights to purchase the Unfunded Balance.
GS Capital is entitled, at its option, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the GS Capital Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 75% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future, for the ten prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the Conversion Price shall be decreased to 65% instead of 75% while that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by GS Capital). The conversion discount, look back period and other terms will be adjusted on a ratchet basis if the Company offers a more favorable conversion discount, interest rate, (whether through a straight discount or in combination with an original issue discount), look back period or other more favorable term to another party for any financings while the GS Capital Note is in effect.
Interest on any unpaid principal balance of the GS Capital Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares") or in cash at the option of the Company. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the GS Capital Note to the date of such notice.
The GS Capital Note may be prepaid or assigned with the following penalties/premiums:
PREPAY DATE
PREPAY AMOUNT
≤ 60 days
110% of principal plus accrued interest
61- 120 days
120% of principal plus accrued interest
120-180 days
130% of principal plus accrued interest
Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem the GS Capital Note in cash for the highest prepayment amount then in effect, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of the GS Capital Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.
Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) of the GS Capital Note the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the outstanding principal due under the GS Capital Note shall increase by 50%. If the GS Capital Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under the GS Capital Note shall increase by 15%. Further, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing after the 6 month anniversary of the GS Capital Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion.
The principal balance outstanding under the GS Capital Note was $360,000 as of March 31, 2020.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

Beginning in fiscal year 2014, 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, 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, and 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.

ShieldSaver, LLC (“ShieldSaver”)
The Company owns fifty one percent (51%) of the outstanding interests of ShieldSaver, LLC. ShieldSaver is a technology focused automotive company working to efficiently track records of vehicle repairs. They pair shops with potential customer via proprietary technology. The ShieldSaver technology solution drives B2B leads and conversion to sales of windshield repair and replacement. The ShieldSaver technology is designed to increase efficiency by quickly delivering a vehicle specific quote for windshield replacement and delivering those leads to local installers looking to expand and grow their business. ShieldSaver has relationships with large parking lot management companies at airports and other locations around the United States to obtain the data needed to operate.
The Company owns ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding interests of DIGS, a California-based supplier of cultivation equipment that fulfills orders nationwide. They provide hydroponic supplies and nutrients to commercial and individual farmers. DIGS operates an online store, and sells nutrients, lights, and HVAC systems, among other products, to individuals that are interested in horticulture. They also fulfill and distribute products to businesses and stores in the southern California market. DIGS also provides manufacturing services out of its facility in Carlsbad, CA. The manufacturing supports developing and wholesaling private labelled product for clients as well as our inhouse branding efforts.
In addition to our subsidiaries we also maintain the following additional lines of business:
SingleSeed is an online business providing hemp-based products to consumers. In addition to the hemp-based products sold via ecommerce, the business has relationships to resell services such as internet marketing, payment processing and website design. SingleSeed is solely dedicated to providing professional services to the underserved cannabis and hemp-based markets. None of our professional services in the cannabis industry require us to touch the plant.
The online storefront provides an online purchasing point and an additional place for vendors to sell their products. When SingleSeed receives an order, the product is shipped directly to the purchaser from the manufacturer. This eliminates SingleSeed having to purchase or hold any inventory.
Hemp
Our hemp business segment is initially focused on national retail distribution for our proprietary in-house or exclusive hemp cigarette brands (“1606 Original Hemp”) and non-cannibalistic private label products from other CBD manufactures.
We maintain a policy requiring our employees, consultants and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements and to control access to software, documentation and other proprietary information.
Third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Competitors may also independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the technologies we employ in our products and services.
Competition
The markets for our products are intensely competitive, continually evolving and subject to changing technologies. Many of our competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater name recognition, sales and marketing, financial, technical, customer support and other resources. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products.
These competitors may enter our existing or future markets with products that may be less expensive, that may provide higher performance or additional features or that may be introduced more quickly than our products.
We believe that we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors. However, if we are not able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, it will be difficult to acquire and retain customers, and we may experience revenue declines, reduced operating margins, loss of market share and diminished value in our services.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts (conducted by us in house, and by outside consultants) currently focus on increasing demand for our solutions utilizing targeted email campaigns, SEO and SEM advertising. In addition, we generate awareness by participating in industry tradeshows, issuing press releases and articulating our messaging through our website. We conduct our marketing activities domestically to promote our products independently and in cooperation with our strategic partners. Our product information is available on our website, which contains overview presentations.
Sales
We market and distribute our products through a strategic partnership network of companies and we use a broad distribution channel to bring our products and solutions to our customers.
We have sales and support staff in various locations throughout the United States. Our inside sales group answers incoming leads from potential customers and refers these new leads to one of our partners. A new lead is a potential customer, client or user of one or more of the products and services SinglePoint either directly offers or refers to a partner. A partner is either one of our subsidiaries or one of the companies that we do business with.
Currently SinglePoint and its subsidiaries employ a total of approximately 50 individuals. These individuals consist of management, developers, sales and support staff. Some of these individuals are employed through outside sourcing, working with us to hire qualified software engineers.
Offices
We do not currently own any property or real estate of any kind. Currently the Company leases approximately 1,400 square feet of office space at 2999 North 44th Street, Phoenix Arizona 85018 at a monthly rent of $3,376 through January 31, 2023 at a monthly base rent of $3,618, increasing to $3,688 and $3,758 per month during the second and third year of the lease, respectively.
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. We 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.

Stock Option Plan and other Employee Benefits Plans
On December 5, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the creation of the Singlepoint Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock approved on December 18, 2019. No awards have been made under the Plan.
Summary Description
The following description is intended to be a summary of the material provisions of the Plan. It does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in the following summary and not otherwise defined in this Information Statement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
Purpose and Eligible Participants. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. The Administrator may grant awards under the Plan only to those persons that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons. An “Eligible Person” is any person who is either: (a) an officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant who renders bona fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or sale of securities of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and who is selected to participate in this Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the Company’s eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Company, or the Company’s compliance with any other applicable laws.
Types of Awards. The Administrator shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each selected Eligible Person. Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are:
Stock Options. A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock during a specified period as determined by the Administrator. An option may be intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an “ISO”) or a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be an ISO). The award agreement for an option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. The per share exercise price for each option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. When an option is exercised, the exercise price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method permitted by the Administrator
Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right or “SAR” is a right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Stock, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised, over (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR was granted as specified in the applicable award agreement. The maximum term of a SAR shall be ten (10) years.
Restricted Shares. Restricted shares are shares of Common Stock subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Administrator may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of this Plan and the applicable award agreement relating to the restricted stock, a participant granted restricted stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the restricted stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Administrator).
Restricted Share Units.
(a) Grant of Restricted Share Units. A restricted share unit, or “RSU”, represents the right to receive from the Corporation on the respective scheduled vesting or payment date for such RSU, one share of Common Stock. An award of RSUs may be subject to the attainment of specified performance goals or targets, forfeitability provisions and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine, subject to the provisions of this Plan. At the time an award of RSUs is made, the Administrator shall establish a period of time during which the restricted share units shall vest and the timing for settlement of the RSU.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable award agreement, as well as any procedures established by the Administrator, prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period of an RSU, the Administrator may determine to pay dividend equivalent rights with respect to RSUs, in which case, the Corporation shall establish an account for the participant and reflect in that account any securities, cash or other property comprising any dividend or property distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying each RSU. Each amount or other property credited to any such account shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the RSU to which it relates. The participant shall have the right to be paid the amounts or other property credited to such account upon vesting of the subject RSU.
(c) Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the restrictions imposed under the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable award agreement, each participant receiving RSUs shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to such RSUs until such time as shares of Common Stock are issued to the participant. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time a RSU is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such award. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, shares of Common Stock issuable under an RSU shall be treated as issued on the first date that the holder of the RSU is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and the holder shall be the owner of such shares of Common Stock on such date. An award agreement may provide that issuance of shares of Common Stock under an RSU may be deferred beyond the first date that the RSU is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, provided that such deferral is structured in a manner that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Section 162(m) Performance-Based Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any of the types of awards listed in Sections 5.1.4 through 5.1.7 above may be, and options and SARs granted with an exercise or base price not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the date of grant (“Qualifying Options” and “Qualifying SARs,” respectively) typically will be, granted as awards intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The grant, vesting, exercisability or payment of Performance-Based Awards may depend (or, in the case of Qualifying Options or Qualifying SARs, may also depend) on the degree of achievement of one or more performance goals relative to a pre-established targeted level or levels using the Business Criteria provided for below for the Corporation on a consolidated basis or for one or more of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries, segments, divisions or business units, or any combination of the foregoing. Such criteria may be evaluated on an absolute basis or relative to prior periods, industry peers or stock market indices.
Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock are available for issuance in connection with awards granted under the Plan.
Administration. This Plan shall be administered by, and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized by, the Administrator. The “Administrator” means the Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board or another committee or individual (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this Plan. Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as may be required under applicable law.
Effective Date and Termination. This Plan was approved by the Board and became effective on December 5, 2019. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on December 5, 2029. After the termination of this Plan either upon such stated expiration date or its earlier termination by the Board, no additional awards may be granted under this Plan, but previously granted awards (and the authority of the Administrator with respect thereto, including the authority to amend such awards) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan.
We are a company whose core subsidiaries include solar, and hemp. We built our portfolio by acquiring an interest in undervalued companies, thereby providing a rich, diversified holding base. We acquire and work with key company management to grow successful candidate companies.

Results from Operations – For the year endedDecember 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 Direct Solar America 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.
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.
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.
The Company uses three categories for disaggregated revenue classification:
- Retail Sales (DIGS, Singleseed),
- Distribution (hemp-related products) and,
- Services Revenue (Direct Solar, Mobile Web Credit Card Gateway, Shieldsaver).
Retail Sales.

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.

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.

The following tables set forth, as of June 1, 2020, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, including our common stock, and Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, by:
·
each director;
·
each named executive officer;
·
all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and
·
each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our outstanding stock.
As of May 28, 2020, the Company had authorized 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 60,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were 1,803,070,015shares of common stock and 52,600,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 1, 2020. Each share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 25 shares of common stock, and votes with the shares of Common Stock and is entitled to 50 votes per share.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date, and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above.

Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined such officer or director did not meet the standards.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Our Amended Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers from and against any liability arising out of their service as a director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of which they serve as an officer or director at the request of the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by NRS Chapter 78.
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.

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 Indoor 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.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.

The Company has net operating losses (“NOLs”) as of December 31, 2019 of approximately $6,000,000 for federal tax purposes, which will expire in varying amounts through 2039. The Company may be able to utilize its NOLs to reduce future federal and state income tax liabilities. However, these NOLs are subject to various limitations under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382. IRC Section 382 limits the use of NOLs to the extent there has been an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points. In addition, the NOL carry-forwards are subject to examination by the taxing authority and could be adjusted or disallowed due to such exams. Although the Company has not undergone an IRC Section 382 analysis, it is possible that the utilization of the NOLs could be substantially limited. The Company has no tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018 due to the net losses and full valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and will require the Company to re-measure certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are anticipated to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The Company adopted the new rate as it relates to the calculations of deferred tax amounts as of December 31, 2017.

Below is a description of the material terms of the transaction (all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have that definition assigned to it as per the related agreement).
The date and time of the first issuance and sale of the first $360,000 portion of the Note pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell and the Investor shall purchase, a $360,000 portion of the $1,440,000 purchase amount under this Agreement. The purchase price for the $360,000 portion shall be $330,000 representing the original issue discount of $30,000. The Investor retains the right to purchase the unfunded balance of the $1,440,000 Note (the “Unfunded Balance”) for a period of nine months, provided that each purchase must be in an amount of no less than $360,000. Any rights to purchase a portion of the Unfunded Balance outstanding after nine months shall be terminated and the Investor shall have no rights to purchase the Unfunded Balance.
The Investor is entitled, at its option, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 75% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future, for the ten prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the Conversion Price shall be decreased to 65% instead of 75% while that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by the Investor). The conversion discount, look back period and other terms will be adjusted on a ratchet basis if the Company offers a more favorable conversion discount, interest rate, (whether through a straight discount or in combination with an original issue discount), look back period or other more favorable term to another party for any financings while the Note is in effect.
Interest on any unpaid principal balance of the Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares") or in cash at the option of the Company. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the Note to the date of such notice.
The Notes may be prepaid or assigned with the following penalties/premiums:
PREPAY DATE
PREPAY AMOUNT
≤ 60 days
110% of principal plus accrued interest
61- 120 days
120% of principal plus accrued interest
120-180 days
130% of principal plus accrued interest
Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem the Note in cash for the highest prepayment amount then in effect, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of the Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.
Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) of the Note the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the outstanding principal due under the Note shall increase by 50%. If the Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under the Note shall increase by 15%.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 Indoor 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 March 31, 2020, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state 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 (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 as disclosed in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending December 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Singlepoint, DIGS, SDS and ShieldSaver as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (with the accounts of Jiffy Auto Glass (“JAG”), a former subsidiary, included in the three months ended March 31, 2019). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 March 31, 2020.
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.
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.

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 March 31, 2020.
Subsequent Events
Other than the events described in Note 11, 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.
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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
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. SDS has not made any distributions and no amounts have been reinvested as of March 31, 2020.
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:

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 March 31, 2020. The Company performed discounted cash flow analysis projected over four 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) greater than the book value of goodwill. The Company determined there were no indicators of impairment in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The goodwill as of March 31, 2020 is provisional pending the finalization of the fair valuation of acquired assets.

Our Amended Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers from and against any liability arising out of their service as a director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of which they serve as an officer or director at the request of the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by NRS Chapter 78. The effect of this provision of our bylaws is to eliminate our right and our shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the past three years, the registrant has sold the following securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the year ended December 31, 2017:
In March 2017, the Company issued 4,878,049 shares of common stock for its acquisition of 10% investment stake of Jacksam Corporation.
In March 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,629,944 shares of common stock for services with a fair value of $144,647.
In March 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 42,000,000 shares to Gregory Lambrecht for conversion of 7,000,000 shares of Class A Stock.
On May 17, 2017, the Company, in connection with its acquisition of a 90% interest in Discount Indoor Garden Supply, Inc., issued 14,285,714 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,092,857.
On August 31, 2017, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 1,000,000 WEED tokens. The Token is a virtual analog to the “physical” commemorative coins, medals and tokens privately manufactured and offered to the public through much of American history. Once issued and purchased by the public, physical commemorative coins are often resold, exchanged or traded in secondary markets physical marketplaces (bazaars, coin conferences and retail stores) and in digital platforms at websites and digital exchanges. At this point in time, we plan to hold WEED tokens for the foreseeable future. Currently these tokens are held in a digital wallet. The wallet has multilevel security. This wallet has multi levels of passcodes before entering. First you must enter a wallet address, then followed by a Wallet ID, then a Multifactor Authentication protocol happens which is a QR Code generated from a pre-shared key that is time based and changes with each log in. As with any company we cannot predict or prevent a massive cybersecurity breach. We do our best to protect our coins and private keys through encrypted storage in local environments not tied to online access. We will endeavor to take actions necessary to protect the safekeeping of these tokens however we cannot guarantee nor prevent a hack of the third-party wallet. Should the tokens be impacted by potential illiquidity it could adversely impact our balance sheet in terms of our short term and/or long term investments. WEED tokens are not an equity token, rather it is a commemorative crypto token generated on the Bitcoin Blockchain utilizing the OMNI protocols and platform, and it does not represent any fiat currency. We have added disclosure that at this time we do not intend to create a portfolio of digital assets related to digital currency or related tokens. However, in the event of an opportunity we deem warrants merit, we may decide it is in our best interest to entertain a business opportunity that may require the use of digital tokens which may or may not be regarded as digital asset or securities. At the present time we are aware of no such opportunities.
In October 2017, in connection with the acquisition of a 51% equity stake in Jiffy Auto Glass, the Company issued, 5,078,125 shares of common stock with a fair value of $318,906.

To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii.
To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i.
Any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii.
Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
