Since January 1, 2016 we have made additional acquisitions in entities which are no longer operational. On April 27, 2016, we issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $26,000 to a third party as an initial payment for an ownership interest in GoDraft.com, a daily fantasy sports enterprise. On December 31, 2016, we adjusted this investment down by $26,000 to its estimated fair value of $0.

Discount Indoor Garden Supplies
DIGS is a supplier of plant nutrients to commercial accounts. DIGS has two retail stores in California and provides consulting to new operations.
Intellectual Property
We generally rely upon copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to protect and maintain our proprietary rights for our technology and products.
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.
Notwithstanding the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights, 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. We currently compete with Mobile Payment and Mobile Messaging Technology Provider systems, such as Square, Stripe, Vantiv, and on the messaging side Tatango, Waterfall, Upland and others. 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 also may have more established distribution channels and stronger relationships with local, long distance and Internet service providers. 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. Key competitive factors in each of the segments in which we currently compete and may compete in the future include: low cost of ownership, product features, price and performance. We believe that our principal competitive advantages include:
|
· | Managed Services Provider |
|
|
|
|
· | Text Message Payment options |
|
|
|
|
· | Rapid service delivery; |
|
|
|
|
· | Customized API Access for Clients |
|
|
|
|
· | Ability to Reduce Costs |
|
|
|
|
· | Cross market integration options |
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.
Government Regulation
Our cannabis division is subject to government regulation as the industry is as a whole. Currently, the suite of services offered through this division is available to the 29 states that have legalized cannabis. While the company believes the cannabis, industry is here to stay, it has developed technologies that could be remarketed to other industries should federal regulators change their current stance on the industry.

MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Marketing
We are organized and operate as two operating segments “in-house” services and “referral” services. Our marketing efforts 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 calls from end users and refers new leads to a qualified partner. The inside sales group is also responsible for account management of our smaller resellers and end user clients. We also have multiple strategic partners who refer our products directly to a broad range of end-users.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent product introductions. We believe that our future success depends in large part upon our ability to continue to enhance the functionality and uses of our core technology.
The majority of our product development is conducted in-house. We also use a small number of independent contractors to assist with certain product development and testing activities. We intend to continue working with our strategic partners to enhance our products.
We believe our future success relies on continued product enhancement. To accomplish this objective, we seek to improve product reliability, advance and broaden employed technologies while maintaining or reducing product cost. In addition, we actively pursue development of potential new products. Our efforts to enhance existing products and develop new products require extensive investment in research and development.
We intend to continue to focus on product innovation, quality improvement, performance enhancement and on-time delivery while striving for product cost improvements to promote added value for our products. We seek growth opportunities through the development of new applications for existing products, technological improvements for both new and existing markets and the acquisition and development of new products and competencies.
Employees
Currently SinglePoint and its subsidiaries employ a total of 14 individuals. These individuals consist of management, developers, sales and support staff. Some of these individuals are employed through outside sourcing company’s working with SinglePoint to hire qualified software engineers. We employ five full time employees.
Risks Related to Our Business
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.
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 had a history of operating losses since our inception and, as of March 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $68 million. 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.
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.

In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, to assist us in formulating our development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to us.
Risks Associated with Our Capital Stock
Because we will become a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.
Because we will not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock, and because we will not be listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we were to become a public reporting company by means of an IPO because they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development.
Our common stock may become subject to the SEC's penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in our securities.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a "penny stock" according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
|
· | 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. |

Table of Contents |
Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for FinTec 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 43,950,000 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.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased from $953,624 in 2016 to $41,133,695 in 2017, an increase of $40,180,071. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation due to the issuance of equity to our officers and directors, and impairment of goodwill during 2017. We had an increase in consulting fees of $242,479 in the year ended December 31, 2017 from the year ending December 31, 2016.

For the year ending December 31, 2017 we incurred an impairment of goodwill of $1,178,197. This impairment was related to the reduction in goodwill relating to the purchase of DIGS.
Other Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense) increased from ($1,278,940) in 2016 to ($11,619,483) in 2017. This increase was due to an increase in the loss on settlement of debt of $9,714,195 relating to the conversions by the holders of certain convertible instruments into shares of common stock.
Net Loss
For the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company had a net loss of approximately $52,693,560 compared to a net loss of approximately $2,231,668 for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $50,461,892. The increase is primarily due to an increase in equity based compensation during 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $1,666,974 in Total Assets, consisting of $915,078 in cash, $385 in prepaid expenses, $15,355 in inventory and the remaining $736,156 in Non-Current Assets, consisting primarily of Intangible assets ($346,000) and Goodwill ($362,261). The Company’s total liabilities exceeded its consolidated current assets by approximately $1,516,000 as of December 31, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017, 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 maintain profitability. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations.

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.

Table of Contents |
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 consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 establishes the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. 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 accounting standards update also requires significantly expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial statements.
Currently the Company leases approximately 1,400 square feet of office space at 2999 North 44 th St Phoenix AZ 85018 at a monthly rent of $3,375.97. The lease term expires September 2019.

Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following tables set forth, as of March 31, 2018, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, including our common stock, and Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, by:
|
· | each stockholder known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of our outstanding stock; |
|
· | 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 March 31, 2018, 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 1,136,185,925 shares of common stock and 43,950,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2018. Each share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 25 shares of common stock, totaling 1,193,750,000 shares of common stock assuming full conversion of all outstanding shares. Each share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock votes with the shares of Common Stock and is entitled to 50 votes per share.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Shares of our common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2018 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of that person but not for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, we believe the persons and entities in this table have sole voting and investing power with respect to all of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable.

Stock Option Plan and other Employee Benefits Plans
The Company does not maintain a Stock Option Plan or other Employee Benefit Plans.
Overview of Compensation Program
We currently do not maintain a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable, and competitive.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Board of Directors believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company and that aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative.
Role of Executive Officers In Compensation Decisions
The Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and directors of the Company.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Director Independence

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.

The Company will also indemnify the Indemnitees in each and every situation where, under the aforesaid statutory provisions, the Company is not obligated, but is nevertheless permitted or empowered, to make such indemnification. Before making such indemnification with respect to any situation covered under the foregoing sentence, the Company will make a determination as to whether each Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. No such indemnification shall be made (where not required by statute) unless it is determined that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SinglePoint, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SinglePoint, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 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 “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its consolidated operations and its 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated 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 regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
History
Carbon Credits International Inc. (“CCII”), which was formed on October 15, 2007 as a Nevada corporation, was the result of a spin off from Carbon Credits Industries, Inc. (“CCI”), its former parent issuer, on October 17, 2007, in which 24,196,000 shares of common stock were issued to the shareholders of CCI on a share for share basis ownership. No assets or liabilities were included in the spin off and there was no previous history or operations of CCII.
On December 23, 2011, CCII entered into a merger agreement with Lifestyle Wireless, Inc. (“LWI”), A Washington Corporation, whereby 30,008,000 shares of CCI common stock were cancelled and 6,321,830 shares of CCII common stock were issued to LWI, with CCII remaining as the surviving company. The effective date of the merger was January 10, 2012 under the Articles of Merger.
On July 1 st 2013, CCII changed its name to Singlepoint Inc. (“Singlepoint” or “the Company”) and increased its authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and authorized 30,000,000 preferred shares. On July 1 st 2013, the ticker symbol changed from CARN to SING.
On July 20, 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased its authorized common shares from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
On July 20, 2016, the Company increased the number of authorized Class A Convertible Preferred Stock from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000. The Class A Stock shall be entitled to vote 25 votes of common stock for each share of Class A Stock held with respect to all matters upon which common stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent. Class A Stock shall convert into common stock of the Company at a ratio of 6 common shares for every 1 Class A Share.
On August 31, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased its authorized common shares from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.
On August 31, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased the voting rights on its Class A Convertible Preferred Stock to 50 votes of common stock for each share of Class A Stock held with respect to all matters upon which common stockholders are entitled to vote, and increased the conversion ratio on its Class A Stock so that it converts into common stock of the Company at a ratio of 25 common shares for every 1 Class A share.
On May 17, 2017, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Discount Garden Supply, Inc. (“DIGS”) for cash and common stock.
On October 11, 2017, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Jiffy Auto Glass (“JAG”) for cash and common stock.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, 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 business plan 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 PRESENTAION 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, Inc., DIGS and JAG as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, the year of their acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenues
The Company’s product revenues result from the direct sale of products to customers/businesses or commissions earned from the sale of mobile payment products, or from payment services provided. The Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition is to record revenues and cost of revenues upon monthly customer payment for the Company’s technology products, upon delivery of the Company’s tangible products, or when services are provided.
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.
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 deposits in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC of approximately $659,992 as of December 31, 2017.
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

Table of Contents |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes ASC 740, 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 carry forward.
Earnings (loss) Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with the Statement of FASB 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.
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 sources 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, prepaid expenses, inventory, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, 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. These items primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets.

Goodwill
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, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the 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 to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. 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. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
The Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $1,178,197 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
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. This standard permits early adoption and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions.
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 will be 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 will be 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 will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and must be 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. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.
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, 2017.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS, ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL

The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $1,535,457 and is amortized over 15 years. The total amortization expense for tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2017 is $49,788.
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, 2017. The Company performed discounted cash flow analysis projected over 10 years to estimate the fair value of the reporting units, using management’s best judgement as to revenue growth rates and expense projections. For DIGS, this analysis indicated cash flows (and discounted cash flows) less than the $1,178,197 book value of goodwill. This analysis factored the lack of significant historical profitability and the uncertainty of significant future profitability at DIGS. The Company determined these were indicators of impairment in goodwill for DIGS during the year ended December 31, 2017 and impaired the goodwill by $1,178,197.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share”. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 260-10, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential common shares arising from the conversion of preferred shares into common shares at the election of the holders thereof. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and unissued restricted common stock, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net losses.
For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s net loss per share was $0.07 and $0.00, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 787,332,849 and 464,135,528, respectively. Total dilutive securities related to convertible notes payable, warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately 1,315,111,449 and 380,000,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company has net operating losses (“NOLs”) as of December 31, 2017 of approximately $3,000,000 for federal tax purposes, which will expire in varying amounts through 2036. 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 year ended December 31, 2016 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
History
Carbon Credits International Inc. (“CCII”), which was formed on October 15, 2007 as a Nevada corporation, was the result of a spin off from Carbon Credits Industries, Inc. (“CCI”), its former parent issuer, on October 17, 2007, in which 24,196,000 shares of common stock were issued to the shareholders of CCI on a share for share basis ownership. No assets or liabilities were included in the spin off and there was no previous history or operations of CCII.
On December 23, 2011, CCII entered into a merger agreement with Lifestyle Wireless, Inc. (“LWI”), A Washington Corporation, whereby 30,008,000 shares of CCI common stock were cancelled and 6,321,830 shares of CCII common stock were issued to LWI, with CCII remaining as the surviving company. The effective date of the merger was January 10, 2012 under the Articles of Merger.
On July 1 st 2013, CCII changed its name to Singlepoint Inc. (“Singlepoint” or “the Company”) and increased its authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and authorized 30,000,000 preferred shares. On July 1 st 2013, the ticker symbol changed from CARN to SING.
On July 20, 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased its authorized common shares from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
On July 20, 2016, the Company increased the number of authorized Class A Convertible Preferred Stock from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000. The Class A Stock shall be entitled to vote 25 votes of common stock for each share of Class A Stock held with respect to all matters upon which common stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent. Class A Stock shall convert into common stock of the Company at a ratio of 6 common shares for every 1 Class A Share.
On August 31, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased its authorized common shares from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.
On August 31, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased the voting rights on its Class A Convertible Preferred Stock to 50 votes of common stock for each share of Class A Stock held with respect to all matters upon which common stockholders are entitled to vote, and increased the conversion ratio on its Class A Stock so that it converts into common stock of the Company at a ratio of 25 common shares for every 1 Class A share.
On May 17, 2017, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Discount Garden Supply, Inc. (“DIGS”) for cash and common stock.
On October 11, 2017, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Jiffy Auto Glass (“JAG”) for cash and common stock.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2018, 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 business plan 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 PRESENTAION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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”). They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future period.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Singlepoint, Inc., DIGS,JAG, and Singleseedas of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenues
The Company has generated little revenues to date. 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.’
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.
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 deposits in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC of approximately $111,052 as of March 31, 2018.

Table of Contents |
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 Income Taxes ASC 740, 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 carry forward.
Earnings (loss) Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with the Statement of FASB 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.
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 sources 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.
F-28 |
|
Table of Contents |
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, prepaid expenses, inventory, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, 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. These items primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets which were measured at the acquisition date.
Our derivative liabilities have been valued as Level 3 instruments.

Goodwill
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, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the 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 to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. 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. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
The Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $1,178,197 on December 31, 2017.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
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 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
F-30 |
|
Table of Contents |
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 will be 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 will be 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 will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and must be 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. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.
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, 2018.
NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS, ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL
On January 16, 2018, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement to purchase a 51% ownership in Shield Saver, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, for shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $670,000, cash payments of $200,000 based on performance milestones, and payment of $150,000 towards software development after 30 days of closing.
The Company made total payments to Shield Saver, LLC of $140,000 under this agreement as of March 31, 2018, which is reflected as deposits on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018 the Company has not issued any of the shares per the terms of this agreement.
For investments acquired with common stock, the Company records its investments at the fair value of the common stock issued for the ownership interests acquired.
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 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
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 March 31, 2018 and determined no impairment was necessary.

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, 2017. The Company performed discounted cash flow analysis projected over 10 years to estimate the fair value of the reporting units, using management’s best judgement as to revenue growth rates and expense projections. For DIGS, this analysis indicated cash flows (and discounted cash flows) less than the $1,178,197 book value of goodwill. This analysis factored the lack of significant historical profitability and the uncertainty of significant future profitability at DIGS. The Company determined these were indicators of impairment in goodwill for DIGS during the year ended December 31, 2017 and impaired the goodwill by $1,178,197.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share”. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 260-10, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential common shares arising from the conversion of preferred shares into common shares at the election of the holders thereof. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and unissued restricted common stock, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net losses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s net loss per share was $0.01 and $0.00, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 1,059,634,814 and 555,354,036, respectively. Total dilutive securities related to convertible notes payable, warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately 1,119,530,742 and 308,000,000 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has net operating losses (“NOLs”) as of March 31, 2018 of approximately $3 million for federal tax purposes, which will expire in varying amounts through 2036. 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016 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 March 31, 2018.
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 3, 2018, the Company issued 1,428,571 shares of the Company’s common stock to a noteholder for conversion of a convertible note payable at a price of $0.007 per share.

SECTION 2.6 Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date . For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or permitted to vote at, any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or permitted to vote at, a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting.

(b) Business may be conducted once a quorum is present and may continue until adjournment of the meeting notwithstanding the withdrawal or temporary absence of sufficient shares to reduce the number present to less than a quorum. Unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by Nevada statute or the Articles, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares then represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders; provided, however, that if the shares then represented are less than required to constitute a quorum, the affirmative vote must be such as would constitute a majority if a quorum were present; and provided further, that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares then present shall be sufficient in all cases to adjourn a meeting.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

SECTION 2.10 Waiver . A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of any objection to defective notice or lack of notice of the meeting unless the shareholder objects at the beginning of the meeting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and shall constitute a waiver of any objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. A shareholder may otherwise waive notice of any annual or special meeting of shareholders by executing a written waiver of notice either before, at or after the time of the meeting.
SECTION 2.11 Conduct of Meetings . Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by a chairman to be chosen, subject to confirmation after tabulation of the votes, by a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy.

If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “ Third Party Claim ”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section (b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section (b), pay, compromise, or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
12 |
|
(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 5.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section (a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty-day (30) period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty-day (30) period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

The Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that all rights to, interests in or opportunities regarding, all Third-Party Inventions identified by the Company, any of its affiliates or either of the foregoing persons’ officers, directors, employees (including the Executive), agents or consultants during the Employment Term shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or such affiliate and the Executive shall have no rights whatsoever to such Third-Party Inventions and will not pursue for himself or for others any transaction relating to the Third-Party Inventions which is not on behalf of the Company.

6. Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement .

The Executive acknowledges that, due to the unique nature of the Company’s business, the loss of any of its clients or business flow or the improper use of its Confidential and Proprietary Information could create significant instability and cause substantial damage to the Company and its affiliates and therefore the Company has a strong legitimate business interest in protecting the continuity of its business interests and the restriction herein agreed to by the Executive narrowly and fairly serves such an important and critical business interest of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to be actively engaged on the date hereof in the development and commercialization of voice-over-internet protocol services and related systems and in the future in any other business in which it actually devotes substantive resources to study, develop or pursue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(a) shall be deemed to prohibit the Executive from (i) acquiring or holding, solely for investment, publicly traded securities of any corporation, some or all of the activities of which are competitive with the business of the Company so long as such securities do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than four percent (10%) of any class or series of outstanding securities of such corporation. This Section 6(a) shall not be enforceable by the Company against Executive if the Executive (i) is terminated by the Company without Cause; or (ii) terminates this Agreement for Good Reason.
4 |

(ii) solicit or accept employment or be retained by any Person who, at any time during the term of this Agreement, was an agent, client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates where his position will be related to the business of the Company or any such affiliate; or
(iii) solicit or accept the business of any agent, client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to products or services which compete directly with the products or services provided or supplied by the Company or any of its affiliates, or

(c) The Company and the Executive each agree that both during the Term and at all times thereafter, neither party shall directly or indirectly disparage, whether or not true, the name or reputation of the other party or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to, any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Company or any of its affiliates.
(d) In the event that the Executive breaches any provisions of Section 5 or this Section 6 or there is a threatened breach, then, in addition to any other rights which the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled, to seek injunctive relief to enforce the restrictions contained in such Sections, in addition to any other remedies.
(e) Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in Section 6(d) shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law. If any of the covenants contained in this Section 6, or any part of any of them, is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants or rights or remedies which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained in this Section 6 is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.
5 |
|
(f) In the event that an actual proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of Section 5 or this Section 6, the Executive shall not use as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law nor shall the Company be prevented from seeking any other remedies which may be available.
(g) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Executive understands and recognizes that his services to the Company are special and unique and that in the course of performing such services the Executive will have access to, and knowledge of, Confidential and Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 5) and the Executive agrees that, during the Term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, he shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, corporation or other business entity (“ Person ”), enter into or engage in any business which is engaged in any business directly competitive with the business of the Company, either as an individual for his own account, or as a partner, joint venturer, owner, executive, employee, independent contractor, principal, agent, consultant, salesperson, officer, director or shareholder of a Person in a business competitive with the Company within the geographic area of the Company’s business, which is deemed by the parties hereto to be nationwide. The Executive acknowledges that, due to the unique nature of the Company’s business, the loss of any of its clients or business flow or the improper use of its Confidential and Proprietary Information could create significant instability and cause substantial damage to the Company and its affiliates and therefore the Company has a strong legitimate business interest in protecting the continuity of its business interests and the restriction herein agreed to by the Executive narrowly and fairly serves such an important and critical business interest of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to be actively engaged on the date hereof in the development and commercialization of voice-over-internet protocol services and related systems and in the future in any other business in which it actually devotes substantive resources to study, develop or pursue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(a) shall be deemed to prohibit the Executive from (i) acquiring or holding, solely for investment, publicly traded securities of any corporation, some or all of the activities of which are competitive with the business of the Company so long as such securities do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than four percent (10%) of any class or series of outstanding securities of such corporation. This Section 6(a) shall not be enforceable by the Company against Executive if the Executive (i) is terminated by the Company without Cause; or (ii) terminates this Agreement for Good Reason.

(b) During the Term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company:
(i) solicit or induce any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or any such affiliate; or hire for any purpose any employee of the Company or any affiliate or any employee who has left the employment of the Company or any affiliate within one year of the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company or any such affiliate or at any time in violation of such employee’s non-competition agreement with the Company or any such affiliate; or
(ii) solicit or accept employment or be retained by any Person who, at any time during the term of this Agreement, was an agent, client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates where his position will be related to the business of the Company or any such affiliate; or
(iii) solicit or accept the business of any agent, client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to products or services which compete directly with the products or services provided or supplied by the Company or any of its affiliates, or
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 6(b)(ii) and 6(b)(iii) shall not be enforceable by the Company against Executive if the Executive (i) is terminated by the Company without Cause; or (ii) terminates this Agreement for Good Reason.
(c) The Company and the Executive each agree that both during the Term and at all times thereafter, neither party shall directly or indirectly disparage, whether or not true, the name or reputation of the other party or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to, any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Company or any of its affiliates.
(d) In the event that the Executive breaches any provisions of Section 5 or this Section 6 or there is a threatened breach, then, in addition to any other rights which the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled, to seek injunctive relief to enforce the restrictions contained in such Sections, in addition to any other remedies.
5 |
|
(e) Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in Section 6(d) shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law. If any of the covenants contained in this Section 6, or any part of any of them, is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants or rights or remedies which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained in this Section 6 is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.
(f) In the event that an actual proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of Section 5 or this Section 6, the Executive shall not use as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law nor shall the Company be prevented from seeking any other remedies which may be available.
(g) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
7. Representations and Warranties by the Executive .
