PART I

Organizational History

Through our wholly owned subsidiary LifeApps, Inc., we are a licensed developer and publisher of apps for the Apple Apps Store for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini. We are also a licensed developer on both Google Play and Amazon Appstore for Android. We have distributed apps on all three platforms. We are currently not targeting our revenue strategy on further development of additional apps or updating or expanding on apps that we have developed but, will instead, make our primary focus the development and operation of various new business operations that we intend to establish.

On January 25, 2019, we entered into and closed a securities exchange under a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”) with LGBT Loyalty LLC, a New York limited liability company (“LGBT Loyalty”), and Maxim Partners, LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the membership interests of LGBT Loyalty, making LGBT Loyalty a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, in exchange for 120,959,996 shares of our restricted common stock and one share of our newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The common stock issued to Maxim represented, upon issuance, 49.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Effective March 26, 2019, the share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into 8,598,578 shares of our common stock.

Effective April 25, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to change our name from LifeApps Brands Inc. to LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc. The form of and filing of the Certificate of Amendment was approved by our Board of Directors.

On June 3, 2019 we filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C COD”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to create a new class of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and authorized the issuance of up to 129,559 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. On the Closing Date, all of the 129,559 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued to Pride Partners, LLC (“Pride”), the assignee of Maxim. On June 4, 2019 we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Maxim (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Holder exchanged 129,558,574 shares of Common Stock for 129,559 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of our Series C Preferred Stock (the “Share Exchange”).

On October 30, 2019, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Loyalty Preference Index, Inc. (“LPI”), we launched the LGBTQ100 ESG Index which references LGBTQ community survey data in the methodology for a benchmark listing of the nation’s highest financially performing companies that our respondents believe are most committed to advancing equality.

Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references in this Annual Report to “LifeApps®” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, LifeApps Inc., Sports One Group Inc, LGBT Loyalty LLC and Loyalty Preference Index.

Executive Summary

Starting in the first half of 2019, we assembled a highly accomplished Board of Directors recognized for their advocacy and impact in the area of LGBTQ diversity and inclusion (D&I) to create the first-ever impact preference financial Index listed on the NYSE. Our team collaborated with one of the top Index Analysts to create a methodology to utilize financial big data and AI-driven analytics. The goal is to drive financial alpha returns by creating a financial tool that will help break barriers by capturing the voice of the LGBTQ community constituent as participants in the creation of a ground-breaking thematic financial Index listed as LGBTQ100.

We recognized a gap in Index solutions within the growing category of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and how they measure a corporation’s compliance. We focused on LGBTQ diversity, inclusion and equality practices of leading corporations and specifically their commitment to advancing equality within the LGBTQ community. We found that these businesses were able to attract and retain the best talent and performed better in terms of earnings than their corporate peers. Our goal was to outperform other financial indices in terms of ROI and also outperform them in Return on Social Impact (ROSI); our endgame was to close the gap between companies and investors who measure their success purely around financial metrics along with companies that need to work harder to align with their equality driven constituents and improve their social equality policies and ESG compliance.

When we launched the LGBTQ100 on the New York Stock Exchange on October 30 of 2019, it became the first financial Index that embedded constituent preference data from the community including grading the top performing companies that have supported D&I, outwardly aligned their brand to support the LGBTQ community and screened well for ESG compliant practices.

The media reception and brand recognition achieved by the LGBTQ100 was extraordinary with expansive coverage by Bloomberg as well as other major financial outlets featuring how LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings had created and introduced the first impact preference index to achieve both financial performance and social impact. We are proud to report that our goal has been achieved with the LGBTQ100 outperforming the S&P 500 by over 2% since our listing on the NYSE and when back-tested over the past 11 years, our Index beats the S&P by over 20%.

As we move into 2020, our focus will be to build on this momentum and grow both revenues for our platform and Assets Under Management (AUM).

Business Overview

On January 25, 2019, we acquired LGBT Loyalty LLC, a New York limited liability company, with the goal of creating the first LGBTQ Loyalty Preference Index ETF (the “Index ETF”) to provide the LGBTQ community with the power to influence the allocation of capital within a financial Index ETF based upon LGBTQ consumer preferences. The Index ETF is intended to link the growing economic influence of the LGBTQ community and their allies with many of the top Fortune 500 companies that support and implement diversity, inclusion and equality policies within their organizations. The incorporation of diversity and inclusion in a company’s recruitment and human resource policies is becoming a key concern to investors as part of their growing focus on ESG allocations. Our data and analytics unequivocally reinforce that corporations that have embraced diversity and inclusion policies within their corporate culture perform at a higher level financially than their peers. This includes advancing a more invigorated workforce that attracts and retains the best talent. Innovation and agility have been identified as great benefits of diversity, and there is an increasing awareness of what has come to be known as ‘the power of difference’.

On October 30, 2019, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Loyalty Preference Index, Inc. (“LPI”) and our strategically aligned partnerships with crowd sourced data and analytic providers, we launched the LGBTQ100 ESG Index which integrates LGBTQ community survey data into the methodology for a benchmark listing of the nation’s highest financially performing large-cap publicly listed corporations that our respondents believe are most committed to advancing equality. LPI is the index provider for the LGBTQ + ESG100 ETF; LGBTQ Loyalty was the Sponsor for the prospectus that was filed by the highly regarded licensed Fund Adviser ProcureAM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Procure Holdings, LLC., which is through our platform service agreement (“PSA”), and was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in early January 2020. The LGBTQ + ESG100 ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the LGBTQ100 ESG Index. The Fund earns management fees based on assets under management (“AUM”) and is expected to launch in Q3- 2020 on the NASDAQ.

LGBTQ Loyalty has generated an abundance of media coverage for our premier LGBTQ Index product with the launch and listing on NYSE of the LGBTQ100 ESG Index. The exclusive media launch with Bloomberg Media was instrumental in propelling the LGBTQ100 brand to center stage overnight in the financial sector. In addition, LGBTQ Loyalty was featured at the Inside ETFs Summit in early 2020 with Board Members, Barney Frank and Billy Bean speaking on the “The Power of Inclusion & Equality” for investors. Our media strategy objective is to lay the groundwork for additional high-profile positioning of the brand as we work to achieve the desired increased financial media coverage and growth in AUM valuation for our company and shareholders.

Our Products

Our mission is to build a sustainable and well recognized brand focused on unlocking the growing purchasing power of the LGTBQ community globally by offering a robust LGBTQ Index and core ETF portfolio that attracts key institutional investors and corporations.

At the nucleus of our LGBTQ Loyalty Preference Index is our partner-driven Crowd Preference Index Methodology (CPIM) which disrupts ESG investing. This is achieved through an elevated screening process of financial performance data and ESG standards and practices, whereby LGBTQ community data on diversity and inclusion compliance directly impacts corporate financial results and transparently identifies and recognizes high performance companies who have consistently outperformed the S&P 500 index or equivalent sector standards and norms.

We intend to extend the LGBTQ Loyalty Index brand with future plans to develop indices with a focus on the ‘Social’ component of ESG utilizing our proprietary financial slogan of “Advancing Equality” within other gender, minority interest groups.

Revenue

The Company focus in 2019 was to create and launch our first of many financial Index products through an equality driven thematic ESG screened and alpha performance benchmark. The Company achieved this through its LGBTQ100 ESG Index listing and performance on the NYSE starting on October 30, 2019. In 2020 our collective efforts and focus is to monetize and scale our model by capturing recurring revenue streams through our current financial Index product. Our goal is to accelerate our revenue pursuits through our partnership and licensed relationships to achieve a break-even point when we have secured AUM benchmarked against the LGBTQ100 Index in excess of $50,000,000.

We intend to introduce a new key partnered revenue source derived from Direct Index Licensing Fees generated by financial institutions and asset management companies for creating a product (e.g. , Index Funds, Structured Financial Products, Turnkey Asset Management Providers) based on or linked to the LGBTQ100 index. This includes fees to use the LGBTQ100 index to track the performance of funds or as benchmarks for actively managed portfolios. We plan to capture Data Subscriptions which could provide recurring subscription revenue from our LGBTQ Index. This includes ongoing and historical data and information generated by our wholly owned division Loyalty Preference Inc., and through our strategic partnerships for new potential financial equality-driven Indices.

New initiatives in 2020 include a plan to create ancillary revenue streams to complement and support this unique platform for the top 100 Equality driven Corporations in America represented in the LGBTQ100 Index. We believe our index will reward and elevate the status of those corporations that have adopted diversity and inclusion best practices, cared for their employees and positively impacted LGBTQ communities. Expert LGBTQ economists have repeatedly stressed the value of the LGBTQ brand loyalty to corporations. We consider the companies that best capture the spending trends and loyalty of the LGBTQ consumer will be better positioned for financial growth and success. Given the opportunity to link to the power and status generated between the LGBTQ community, these companies and their own workforce, we will launch a Partner Loyalty Program which includes benefits afforded to defined sponsorship tiers. The LGBTQ Loyalty Sponsorship is designed to attract the significant marketing dollars Fortune 500 companies are allocating to D&I programs with an opportunity to purchase LGBTQ Loyalty Sponsorship packages, including participation and brand exposure at planned conferences and events. Companies will be offered the opportunity to purchase LGBTQ Loyalty Sponsorship packages starting in Q2-2020.

Our initial investments in creating a high performing product with a well-recognized brand have been established. As we begin to move into planning for the post-COVID-19 world, we will now shift our efforts to cultivate new revenue stream opportunities while building AUM as we construct a profitable business platform.

We have achieved no revenues to date from our LGBTQ related operations and have been focused on building our product and achieving performance results and media branding over the course of the past twelve months. There are no assurances that can be given that we will achieve revenues or profitability in the future.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is targeted to the estimated three trillion-dollar global purchasing power of the LGBTQ consumer demographic. More than nineteen million people identify themselves as LGBTQ in the US and four-hundred-fifty million globally while the LGBTQ community is composed of some of the most loyalty driven consumers in the world.

We believe that the LGBTQ demographic is one of the most highly sought-after economic groups in the world from corporate America down to the local business owner because of their higher median income and brand loyalty. What makes targeting and supporting this dynamic demographic even more extraordinary and rewarding is that friends, family, employers, employees, teachers, coaches and fans of our community so loyally support the brands, products and services that in turn support us. We further believe that this loyalty across the board is time tested, proven, growing and expanding and ultimately extremely rewarding to all that are embraced by the LGBTQ community. Connecting the world’s most supportive LGBTQ companies to the dynamic, loyal and ever-increasing spending power of the LGBTQ community is a consequential step forward for the LGBTQ movement and investment community.

Many Fortune 500 companies are directing more of their consumer advertising and promotional spend towards celebrating diversity and equality. Our long-term goal is to reinforce the financial performance of those Corporations as they foster and integrate LGBTQ equality practices through their Diversity and Inclusion policies as a cornerstone of their corporate culture. Our LGBTQ100 Index of the top 100 corporate constituents have already embraced and enacted this standard of Equality excellence. See our top LGBTQ100 Index constituents.

Competition

We created the first-ever LGBTQ Loyalty Preference Index. We have identified Pride Performance & Holdings issuer UBS, an entity which gives individuals an opportunity to invest in companies that support equality in the workplace for their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, as a competitor. However, Pride Performance appears to focus mainly on the hiring of LGBTQ individuals and we do not see this as direct competition as our Index will be created through surveying and preferencing the top companies in the S&P 500 that best support and align with the LGBTQ community. To date no other financial index provider has focused on including the feedback from direct constituents in constructing an Index methodology that empowers the voice of the LGBTQ community.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a number of domestic and foreign laws and regulations that affect our business. Not only are these laws constantly evolving, which could result in them being interpreted in ways that could harm our business, but legislation is also continually being introduced that may affect both the content of our products and their distribution.

Further, because our services are available worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions and others may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees or infrastructure.

Employees

As of December 31, 2019, we had a total of three employees, all of whom were full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Available Information

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, including annual and quarterly reports, and other reports we file, can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Investors may obtain information on the operation of the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Investors can request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating fee by writing to the SEC. The reports we file with the SEC are also available on the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our securities if you cannot afford to lose your entire investment. In deciding whether you should invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the following information together with all of the other information contained in this Current Report. Any of the following risk factors can cause our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations to suffer and you to lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history and are subject to the risks encountered by early-stage companies.

Because we have a limited operating history, you should consider and evaluate our operating prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. For us, these risks include:

These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be significantly harmed.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that includes an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need it, and we are unable to enter into some form of strategic relationship that will give us access to additional cash resources, we will be required to even further curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our LGBTQ related business operations may subject us to the prejudices of those opposed to the existence and expansion of LGBT rights.

As an LGBTQ focused company, we recognize that certain individuals or groups will not look favorably upon our LGBTQ related operations and strategies and may seek to impede the development and expansion of our businesses.

We have a history of net losses, may incur substantial net losses in the future and may not achieve profitability.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $9,077,614. We expect to incur increased costs in order to implement additional initiatives designed to increase revenues. If our revenues do not increase to offset these additional expenses or if we experience unexpected increases in operating expenses, we will continue to incur significant losses and will not become profitable. If we are not able to significantly increase our revenues, we will likely not be able to achieve profitability in the future.

We may not be able to secure additional financing as and when needed.

We will need to raise significant additional funds to develop and support our business operations, respond to competitive pressures, acquire or invest in complementary or competitive businesses or technologies, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. We cannot be sure that this financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility with respect to business matters. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders will be reduced, our shareholders may experience additional dilution in net book value, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to develop or enhance our services and products, take advantage of future opportunities, repay debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to negatively affect our operations.

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this has limited access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. These, in turn, will not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may substantially hamper our efforts to provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Because our 2012 merger was a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, which may limit the liquidity of our common stock and may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital in the future.

Additional risks may exist because our 2012 merger was a “reverse merger.” Certain SEC rules are more restrictive when applied to reverse merger companies, such as the ability of stockholders to resell their shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144. In addition, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our common stock following the Merger because there may be little incentive for brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. As a result, our common stock may have limited liquidity and investors may have difficulty selling it. In addition, we cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf if we seek to raise additional capital in the future. Our inability to raise additional capital may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock.

We have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Because we do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock, our stock may be less attractive to some investors, which could adversely affect our stock price.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. In addition, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” which is likely to limit its liquidity and make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital in the future.

The market price of our common stock is, and will likely remain for the foreseeable future, less than $5.00 per share, and therefore will be a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, unless our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange. The OTC Bulletin Board is not a national securities exchange. Designation as a “penny stock” requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of current holders of our common stock to sell their shares. Such rules may also deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further limit its liquidity. This may also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital in the future.

The price of our common stock may become volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.

The future trading price of our common stock may become highly volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 1,010,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights to be determined by our Board of Directors. As of May 14, 2020, there were 186,335,476 shares of our common stock and 50,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. There are 2,753,312 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Under the Plan, options to purchase 5,800,000 shares of our common stock are presently outstanding.

Any future issuance of our equity or equity-backed securities may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities, because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. As described above, we may need to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock. We may also issue such securities in connection with hiring or retaining employees and consultants, as payment to providers of goods and services, in connection with future acquisitions or for other business purposes. Our Board of Directors may at any time authorize the issuance of additional common or preferred stock without common stockholder approval, subject only to the total number of authorized common and preferred shares set forth in our certificate of incorporation. The terms of equity securities issued by us in future transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include dividend and/or liquidation preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. Also, the future issuance of any such additional shares of common or preferred stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. There can be no assurance that any such future issuances will not be at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of the common stock are then traded.

We may obtain additional capital through the issuance of preferred stock, which may limit your rights as a holder of our common stock.

Without any stockholder vote or action, our Board of Directors may designate and approve for issuance shares of our preferred stock. The terms of any preferred stock may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights which could limit the rights of the holders of our common stock. The designation and issuance of preferred stock favorable to current management or stockholders could make any possible takeover of us or the removal of our management more difficult.

We have no unresolved staff comments.

Our principal executive office is located 4235 Dixie Highway, Wilton Manors, FL 33305 and our telephone number is (954) 947-6133. The property is currently being rented on a month to month basis at a rate of $250 per month.

We do not own any real estate.

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 business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on business, financial condition or operating results.

Not applicable.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Revenues for 2019 and 2018 were $3,337 and $2,574, respectively. Revenues were primarily from the sale of sports apparel and health and fitness products. We continue to have a limited number of apps in the Apple App store.

The following is a breakdown of our operating expenses for 2019 and 2018:

Personnel costs include officer salaries, directors’ compensation and deferred officer compensation. The increase in personnel costs is primarily due to compensation associated with the formation of our board of directors in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, personnel costs included $858,620 in non-cash compensation costs for officers and directors.

Consulting fees increased by $515,871 in 2019, primarily due to our expanded operations and efforts to launch the LGBTQ100 ESG Index and LGBTQ + ESG100 ETF. During the year ended December 31, 2019, consulting fees included $339,750 in non-cash compensation costs for several consultants we engaged.

Legal and professional fees increased by $573,734 in 2019 due to our increased operations, including legal services, investor relations, filing fees and accounting and auditing services.

Merger costs represents expenses incurred upon the acquisition of LGBT Loyalty LLC in March 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses were $50,147 in 2019, which included advertising and marketing efforts as we initiated our new business plans.

General and administrative expenses increased by $267,569 in 2019 due to the increased activity in our operations, including travel, insurance and rent.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $4,499 in 2019, which represents amortization on our index development costs.

The following is a breakdown of our other income (expenses) for 2019 and 2018:

Interest expense increased by $899,821 in 2019, primarily attributable to origination interest and amortization of debt discount in connection with our convertible debenture issuances in 2019.

Change in derivative liability includes the mark-to-market adjustment of the derivative liability in connection with our convertible debenture.

Net loss was $5,151,480 in 2019 as compared to $834,696 in 2018, primarily due to increased personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and other expenses in connection with our acquisition and financing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on our current planned expenditures, we will require approximately $2.5 million over the next 12 months. Our existing sources of liquidity may not be sufficient for us to implement our continuing business plan. Our need for future capital will be dependent upon the speed at which we expand our product offerings. There are no assurances that we will be able raise additional capital as and when needed.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, its ability to obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generate profitable operations from the Company’s planned future operations. We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned activities. There are no assurances that our plans will be successful. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our audit firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report regarding substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Working Capital

At December 31, 2019, we had current assets of $122,408 and current liabilities of $3,069,929, resulting in a working capital deficit of $2,947,521. At December 31, 2018, we had current assets of $41,503 and current liabilities of $752,358, resulting in a working capital deficit of $710,855. The increase in our working capital deficit was primarily due to the increase in our derivative liability, accounts payable and accrued salaries and consulting fees in 2019.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for 2019 was $1,275,855. This was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,151,480, partially offset by non-cash expenses and losses of $2,769,154 and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,106,471. Net cash used in operating activities for 2018 was $63,775, primarily due to our net loss of $834,846, partially offset by non-cash expenses of $306,160 and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $464,911.

Net cash used in investing activities was $79,375 in 2019, primarily attributable to capitalized costs pertaining to the development of the LGBTQ100 ESG Index website. There were no investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018.

We received $1,00,000 from the issuances of our convertible debenture with Pride, as well as net proceeds of $64,986 from additional promissory notes. We also received $125,000 from the issuance of our Series B preferred stock and $137,524 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants. In 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $103,599, primarily attributable to a convertible note of $32,000 and sales of our common stock of $55,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Contractual Obligations

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. As of December 31, 2019, we have incurred losses of $9,077,614. To date we have funded our operations through advances from a related party, issuance of convertible debt, and the sale of our common stock. We intend to raise additional funding through third party equity or debt financing. There is no certainty that funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue operating as a going concern. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund our commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements:

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.

Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, payables, accruals and notes payable. The carrying values of these amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Intangibles

Intangibles, which include website development costs, databases acquired, internet domain name costs, and customer lists, are being amortized over the expected useful lives which we estimate to be three to five years. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the costs to obtain and register internet domain names were capitalized.

Website and Software Development Costs

Website and software costs are eligible for capitalization under ASC 350-50 and ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. These amounts are included in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of these costs will begin when the website becomes active.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with a fixed conversion price or floor would be settled first, and interest payable in shares settle next. Thereafter, share settlement order is based on instrument issuance date – earlier dated instruments settling before later dated. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares. The policy includes all shares issuable pursuant to debenture and preferred stock instruments as well as shares issuable under service and employment contracts and interest on short term loans.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505, Equity. The fair value of the option or warrant issued or (committed to be issued) is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock or stock award on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

Haynie & Company has been our audit firm ever since January 2018.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, for the reasons set forth below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on its evaluation under this framework, for the reasons set forth below, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the Evaluation Date and Management has identified the following deficiencies that, when aggregated, may possibly be viewed as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date:

Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the possible material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this possible material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, subject to receipt of necessary funding, we plan to initiate the following series of measures:

We expect to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the Company’s accounting function. We also plan to appoint one or more additional outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.

We anticipate that these initiatives can be implemented in conjunction with the growth of our business.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Not applicable.

Martina Navratilova, Director

Martina Navratilova is a former professional tennis player deemed by many to be the most successful female tennis player of the U.S. Open era. Over a career spanning four decades, Ms. Navratilova won 59 Grand Slam titles, including a record 9 Wimbledon singles championships, 167 singles and 177 doubles championships. Over the course of her tennis career, Ms. Navratilova was distinguished as the Women’s Tennis Association’s (“WTA”) “Tour Player of the Year” seven times, named the Associated Press’s “Female Athlete of the Year” and declared one of the “Top Forty Athletes of All-Time” by Sports Illustrated. After being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, she continued to take part in WTA events as well as the 2004 Olympics Games. As she approached her 50th birthday in 2006, she decided to leave the tour circuit behind after her final Grand Slam, a mixed-doubles championship with Bob Bryan at the U.S. Open making her the oldest player to ever win a Grand Slam title. Ms. Navratilova provides commentary to the Tennis Channel’s audience during its coverage of the Grand Slams.

Since coming out in 1981, she has been an inspiring and vocal advocate for equal rights and a strong supporter of many charities benefiting the LGBT community. She has received numerous awards from many of the most influential organizations within the LGBT community. We believe Ms. Navratilova is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors based upon her industry and professional background.

Mr. Tull served as a Vice President of the Amex from 2000 to 2005. Prior to joining the Company, during the period from October 1, 2005 until February 2018 he was an outsourced COO for five ETF issuers and employed as a COO by GlobalShares an ETF issuer with roots in South Africa. Mr. Tull is a named inventor on multiple financial products and currently has a pending patent at the USPTO for non-transparent ETFs. We believe Mr. Tull is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors based upon his industry and management experience.

Orlando Reece, Director

As Chief Executive Officer for Pride Media, Orlando Reece is the steward of the world’s largest media company dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ community. He is responsible for expanding brands like The Advocate and Out beyond their print titles into digital, social and events while maximizing revenue growth across all of the company’s businesses units. His strategic vision for the company focuses on three pillars: great creative content, innovative use of technology and expanding the brands to a larger audience with a “queer” lens. Prior to taking on the CEO role, he served as the Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer growing revenue over 26%. Before joining Pride Media, Orlando was a co-founder and the Chief Operating Officer of Swoup, a fast-growing shopping and saving mobile app. He played a key role in growing the app’s user base and developing the state-of-the-art app, which allows consumers to save money on everyday purchases and repurpose the saved money for higher education expenses, charitable donations, savings and retirement. Throughout his career, Orlando has developed a reputation for transforming and disrupting business models at major media and entertainment companies, with a proven history of success in corporate growth, revenue maximization, strategic planning and cross-media sales and marketing. We believe Mr. Reece is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors based upon his industry and management experience.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our Directors or Executive Officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Except as described above, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Board Committees

The Company currently has not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We have no separate audit committee at this time. The entire Board of Directors oversees our audits and auditing procedures. The Board of Directors has determined that no director is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) for SEC regulation S-K.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors consists of seven members, Robert A. Blair, Lawrence P. Roan, Barney Frank, Billy Bean, Martina Navratilova, Robert Tull and Orlando Reece.

Board Independence

We are not currently listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system that has a requirement that certain of the members of the Board of Directors be independent. However, the Board of Directors has made a determination as to which of its members are independent. In evaluating the independence of its members and the composition of the committees of the Board of Directors, the Board utilizes the definition of “independence” developed by the Nasdaq Stock Market and in SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards in audit committee members and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

The Board of Directors expects to continue to evaluate whether and to what extent the members of the Board are independent. The Company intends to appoint persons to the Board who will meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange. Therefore, the Company expects that a majority of its directors will be independent directors of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of SEC rules.

Five of our current directors, Barney Frank, Billy Bean, Martina Navratilova, Robert Tull and Orlando Reece are “independent” directors as that term is defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards for audit committee members and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Shareholder Communications

Currently, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics. We believe that the Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided to any person requesting same without charge. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please make written request to our Chief Executive Officer, c/o LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc., 2435 Dixie Highway, Wilton Manors, FL 33305.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we believe that each person who at any time during the fiscal year was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock, satisfied their Section 16(a) filing requirements although Robert Gayman filed a report on a late basis.

The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation paid or accrued by us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 to all individuals that served as our principal executive officers.

Summary Compensation Table

On December 19, 2017 we entered into an Employment Services Agreement which was amended effective January 1, 2018 and November 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Neal Agreement”) with Brian Neal, effective as of January 1, 2018, pursuant to which Mr. Neal serves as our President. The Neal Agreement runs through January 31, 2023 and is subject to automatic renewal for successive periods of one year unless either we or Mr. Neal gives the other written notice of intention to not renew at least 30 days prior to the end of the existing term.

Mr. Neal’s base salary payments are payable in bi-weekly installments. In the event any salary payments are not made within 30 days of the due date, they will accrue interest at the rate 10% per annum. The Neal Agreement contains customary termination provisions including terminations with or without cause, for good reason or voluntarily, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, and an inventions and patents provision which provides that all of the work produced by Mr. Neal, which is created, designed, conceived or developed by Mr. Blair in the course of his employment under the Neal Agreement belongs to us.

On December 19, 2017 we entered into an Executive Management Consulting Agreement with Robert Gayman which was amended effective January 1, 2018 and November 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Gayman Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Gayman was to provide advice and assistance to our management in the areas of corporate development, financing, marketing and public company guidance. The Gayman Agreement was to run through January 31, 2023. The Gayman Agreement was subject to automatic renewal for successive periods of one year unless either we or Mr. Gayman gave the other written notice of intention to not renew at least 30 days prior to the end of the existing term. The Gayman Agreement provided for cash payments to Mr. Gayman at the rate of $150,000 per year, payable in bi-weekly installments, and the issuance of 4,946,688 stock options, subject to immediate vesting, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In the event any cash payments were not made within 30 days of their due date, they accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Gayman Agreement contained non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, and an invention and patents provision which provided that all of the work produced by Mr. Gayman, which was created, designed, conceived or developed by Mr. Gayman in the course of his engagement under the Gayman Agreement belongs to us. Effective February 15, 2019, we and Robert Gayman mutually agreed to terminate the Gayman Agreement.

In connection with the amendments to the Blair Agreement, Neal Agreement and Gayman Agreement, provisions which had required us to issue shares of preferred stock to Messrs. Neal and Gayman and to approve a new Equity Incentive Plan were terminated.

On November 1, 2018 we entered into an Employment Services Agreement (the “Roan Agreement”) with Lawrence Roan pursuant to which Mr. Roan is serving as our Executive Director. The Roan Agreement has a 63-month term and is subject to automatic renewal for successive periods of one year unless either we or Mr. Roan gives the other written notice of intention to not renew at least 30 days prior to the end of the existing term.

Title of Class: Common Stock

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

On September 10, 2012, our Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding shares adopted our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 666,667 shares of our common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan but effective December 31, 2015, this amount was increased to 20,000,000 (post-split basis). If an incentive award granted under the 2012 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2012 Plan.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2019, with respect to the shares of common stock that may be issued under our existing equity compensation plans:

As of December 31, 2018, we have 5,800,000 outstanding stock options under the 2012 Plan issued to employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 5,800,000 shares of our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2019, 500,000 options were exercised and no options were canceled. During the year ended December 31, 2018 an aggregate of 10,946,688 options were exercised and no options were canceled.

See “Executive Compensation” for information regarding individual equity compensation arrangements received by our executive officers pursuant to their employment agreements with us.

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

The Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding shares adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) on September 10, 2012. A total of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan, 5,800,000 of which were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 11,446,688 of which have been exercised. If an incentive award granted under the 2012 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2012 Plan.

Shares issued under the 2012 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity are not expected to reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2012 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2012 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award are expected to be adjusted in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

Administration

It is expected that the compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2012 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Plan, the compensation committee would have complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2012 Plan.

Eligible Recipients

Any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates, or an individual that the Company or an affiliate has engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provides services to the Company or its affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, is eligible to receive awards under the 2012 Plan.

Grants

The 2012 Plan authorizes the grant to eligible recipients of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and stock appreciation rights, as described below:

Options granted under the 2012 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant unless agreed to otherwise at the time of the grant. Such awards may include vesting requirements.

Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by the compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

Stock awards are permissible. The compensation committee will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

Stock appreciation rights or SARs, entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

Duration, Amendment, and Termination

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2012 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders within one year. Unless sooner terminated, the 2012 Plan terminates ten years after it is adopted.

Transactions Involving LFAP and/or LFAP Stockholders

On January 25, 2019, in connection with the closing of the January 25, 2019 Securities Exchange Agreement we issued 120,959,996 shares of our common stock and one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Maxim in exchange for all of the membership interests of LGBT Loyalty LLC. Effective March 26, 2019, the share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted into 8,598,578 shares of our common stock.

On November 1, 2018, we entered into an Employment Services Agreement with Lawrence Roan (see Item 11. Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements).

On December 5, 2018 we issued 10,946,688 shares of our restricted common stock to Robert Gayman pursuant to the exercise of (i) 6,000,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.0026 per share or an aggregate of $15,600, and (ii) 4,946,688 stock options at an exercise price of $0.01 per share or an aggregate of $49,467, the payment for which was made by making a corresponding deduction to amounts owed by us to Mr. Gayman.

On January 25, 2019 we issued common stock purchase warrants to Brian Neal (the “Neal Warrants”) and Robert Gayman (the “Gayman Warrants”) in consideration of amounts due to Brian Neal, Robert Gayman and Robert Blair at the close of business on December 31, 2018. Effective March 26, 2019, the Neal Warrants were automatically converted into 4,609,458 shares of our common stock and the Gayman Warrants were automatically converted into 3,990,840 shares of our common stock (see Item 1. – Business).

In March 2019, Bobby Blair was granted the right to participate in the commission program relating to our LGBTQ Loyalty Sponsorship Program with a 20% commission for a direct sale and 5% commission for assisting the sale of a Sponsorship.

In connection with the March and April 2019 appointments of Barney Frank, Billy Bean, Martina Navratilova, Robert Tull and LZ Granderson (former member) to our Board of Directors, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock to each of them. We also agreed to pay each of them an annual fee of $25,000 for serving as a Director, payable in monthly installments. As of December 31, 2019, an aggregate of 1,358,382 shares of common stock are issuable pursuant to the monthly fees under the director compensation agreements. We also granted each of them the right to participate in the commission program we intend to establish with respect to direct (20% commission) and indirect (10% commission) sales related to our LGBT Loyalty Sponsorship Programs.

In December 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock to the board of directors, and recognized $170,734 in compensation expense.

In March 2020, Orlando Reece joined the board in replace of LZ Granderson. We issued 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Reece in connection to joining.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

Audit Fees

(1) Audit fees consist of fees incurred for professional services rendered for the audit of consolidated financial statements, for reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements.

(2) Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements but are not reported under “Audit fees.”

(3) Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

(4) All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice

Prior to our engagement of our independent auditor, such engagement was approved by our board of directors. The services provided under this engagement may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Pursuant our requirements, the independent auditors and management are required to report to our board of directors at least quarterly regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. Our board of directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. All audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees incurred by us for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, were approved by our board of directors.

LGBT LOYALTY HOLDINGS, INC.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
