"Dear Shareholders,
Q2 2020 has been the most unique and challenging quarter of my tenor at Alpine 4. Revenue grew at an astounding 39% over 2019 Q2 revenue, yet those numbers were suppressed by almost $1.65m due to the outbreak of COVID-19. When you consider what has transpired within the economy, what we have accomplished has been nothing short of amazing! For that, I am so very proud of all of our hardworking and dedicated employees.
Q2 By the Numbers
Balance Sheet: From a balance sheet perspective our asset base shrunk by roughly $1m from $39m to $38m. This is directly associated with the write-down of our subsidiary American Precision Fabricator's (APF) assets.  Due to COVID  APF lost some long-term customers and in consultation with our CPA and auditors, the Company decided to write down the Goodwill and associated customer list of APF.
The company and its subsidiaries combined received roughly $3.9 million in PPP funding, enabling our ability to offer employment back to all employees that were furloughed in March and April.  It is also anticipated that the $3.9m in PPP loans currently reflected on our financial statements will be fully forgiven and that our liabilities will conversely shrink by $3.9m in Q3 2020.
P&L:  From a P&L perspective, our revenue grew by 39% over Q2 2019, our Gross Profit also grew from 19% in Q2 2019 to 21.6% in Q2 2020.  The company's G&A expenses grew by $2.2m in 2020 over 2019.  However, this was primarily due to the $1.1m in Goodwill Impairment write down we took at APF and the addition of both the Deluxe Sheet Metal and Excel Fabrication subsidiaries adding their fixed expenses to our consolidated financial statements.
Non-Gap Adjustments: Q2 showed a Loss from Operations of ($1,606,197).  However, $1,111,600 was a non-cash expense impairment write off of APF's customer list and Goodwill, and non-cash expense of $206,415 from an intercompany true-up leftover from 2019.  Resulting in an adjusted Loss of Operations of ($224,819).  It is also important to note that during the first 12-18 months post-acquisition, the Company is reinvesting its cash back into the subsidiaries we purchased to bring them out of what we call our Optimization Phase into the Asset Producing Phase.  This reinvesting of cash back into the subsidiaries is reflected in our operating expenses and typically increases our G&A expense by 4-7% during the Optimization Phase.
There was also $488,993 of one-time expenses tied to debt settlements and which combined with our other adjustments would bring Q2 Adjusted Loss to ($736,410).
Q3 2020
For Q3 2020 the Company is providing the following guidance for its revenue.  The Company anticipates showing revenue of $8.7m for Q3 2020.
