Dear Shareholders and Employees,
With the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, we want to update you on actions taken by Alpine 4 and our subsidiaries to maintain business operations.  Further, I will also take this opportunity to give updated revenue guidance for 2019 and preliminary revenue guidance Q1, 2020.
COVID-19 Update:
We continue taking guidance from government and public health authorities to ensure the health and well-being of our vendors, customers, employees and their families.  Further, Alpine 4 has issued several HR-related directives to employees on its expectations for work-related actions to best ensure safety.  Last week, I gave the directive to Mr. Jeffrey Hail, COO of Alpine 4, to work with our buyers to source and procure N95/KN95 masks for our workers.  They will be distributed to our employees as soon as we can receive them.  At this point, we have only issued a Purchase Order for these masks and anticipate having them delivered within the next 7-10 days.  To our employees, please check with your leadership team and Trish Norvell, HR Director, for more updates.
We are also working closely with our banking partners to access the SBA Paycheck Protection Program and the SBA Disaster Relief Fund to access additional funds.  We will provide more updates on the status of our funding to our leadership teams, subsidiary-wide as we receive them.

2019 Updated Revenue Guidance and Q1, 2020 Preliminary Revenue Guidance
:
To Our Shareholders,
Since most questions that I am receiving right now are based around impacts to revenue due to COVID-19 and our 10K filing, I am going to purposefully keep this email directed at those two topics.  Once our 10K is released, I will provide another CEO letter to walk through the results of our holding subsidiaries; A4 Manufacturing, Inc., A4 Construction Services, Inc., and A4 Technologies, Inc. with deeper analysis of our P&L and Balance Sheets.    For those of you who take the time to email myself and Investor Relations, we truly do value your questions, candor, insight and concerns.
Recently we made the decision, at the recommendation of our auditing firm and legal counsel, to file an 8K with the SEC to accept their 10K and 10Q extensions.  Over the past few weeks, as the effects of the COVID-19 crisis permeated it has created greater work accessibility challenges with our subsidiaries, auditors and other advisors.   It became apparent that extra time would be needed to complete the required filing.  It is our goal to not take the full extension time frame, although depending on resources, it may become necessary to take the full time allotted.
2019 Revenue
:  The company is updating revenue projections from $28 million to $29 million for fiscal year 2019.  This would bring the company's 2019 revenue to roughly 103% of 2018 revenue.  I stress that this is subject to final auditors' approval and the ending 10K results may differ.
Q1, 2020 Preliminary Revenue Guidance
:  For Q1, 2020, the company anticipates reporting revenue of $8.5m, which is growth of roughly 20% over Q1, 2019.  It is important to note that December through March are our four slowest months of the year.  The COVID-19 crisis as well has impacted our sales.
In closing, please know that whether you are a shareholder, employee, customer or vendor, we value all of you and we want you to be safe.
Best regards,
Kent B. Wilson
CEO / President
Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd.
