PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business Overview

We design, engineer and assemble micro-wave component based amplifiers that meet individual customer specifications. Our products consists of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assembly designs. We also offer non-recurring engineering services on a project-by-project basis, for a predetermined fixed contractual amount, or on a time plus material basis.

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010. From inception until August 2012, we were organized as a vehicle to investigate and acquire a target company or business that seeks to be a publicly held corporation. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan.

Our Products

Our products consist of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assembly designs.

New to our list of products is the 18 to 40 GHz wide band low noise amplifier. It is designed mainly for wideband telecommunications such as military and space applications, point to point radios as well as test equipment.

Low Noise Amplifiers

Low Noise Amplifiers, or LNAs, are amplifiers used in receivers of almost every type of communication system (Wi-Fi, Radar, Satellite, Base station, Cell phone, Radio, etc.) to improve signal strength and increase sensitivity and range of receivers.

Medium Power Amplifiers

Medium Power Amplifers, or MPAs, provide increased output power and gain in transceiver chains to increase signal power and maintain dynamic range and linearity in Radars, Base-stations, Wireless networks, and almost every communication system.

Oscillators

Phase Locked Oscillators, or PLOs, and Dielectric Resonator Oscillators, or DROs, are ultra-stable frequency sources and references in transceiver applications that complement the amplifier chain in the transceivers.

Filters

Filters discriminate or block out certain frequencies in communication systems to improve dynamic range and NF response. Our filters are low loss and used on the front-end of the receiver chain that provide low degradation in the NF of the system, thereby maintaining and enhancing the signal clarity.

Table of Contents

Our Technology

Our products are supported by hybrid design topologies that create highly linear Radio Frequency (RF) products that amplify and transform signals with minimal addition of noise, achieving high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and increased receiver sensitivity and range, at a low cost and low power consumption.

Business Overview

Our plans for the next year include new product development, expansion of existing product line and targeting mergers and acquisitions.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital of $474,276 and an Accumulated Deficit of $1,121,794. Additionally, there was a net income of $415,196 and $50,050 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

For Years Ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

Revenues

Sales increased to $2,036,443 for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $1,484,793 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $551,650 or approximately 37.2%. This increase resulted from a backlog of both domestic and foreign orders that were either completed in house or outsourced to an assembly facility.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of Goods Sold increased from $751,707 in 2015 to $827,600 in 2016, an increase of $75,893 or approximately 10.1%. This increase was the direct result of purchasing inventory parts for one of our foreign orders with a high gross profit margin representing approximately 35% of our sales. As a result of this significant order, the gross profit was $733,086 for 2015 compared to $1,208,843 for 2016, an increase of $475,757 or 64.9%

Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $736,927 in 2016 from $646,506 in 2015, an increase of $90,421, or approximately 14%. This increase primarily was due to relocation expenses incurred for the larger facility and the increase in marketing expenditures made by the Company to increase product line exposure and client base, both domestically and internationally. During fiscal year ended 2016, the Company attended two trade shows, increased advertising in trade publications and redesigned its website.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest expense decreased $20,902, or 57.22%, when comparing the year ended December 31, 2016 to the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the refinancing of the factoring agreement to a line of credit with a significantly lower interest rate.

Net Income

As a result of the increase in sales and gross profit , the Company had a net income of $415,196and $50,050 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

The net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $346,663 resulting primarily from the increase in net income, a decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in inventory and a decrease in prepaid expenses.

The net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $29,809 resulting primarily from a decrease in inventory, depreciation expense and the amortization of debt discount from the convertible debt.

Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $14,335and $1,575, respectively, which was for the purchase of equipment.

Financing Activities

The net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $97,703 which was used to repay the note payable, line of credit and amounts due to officer.

The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,639 which was attributable to obtaining a line of credit to repay the factor financing and an additional loan advance from the Chief Executive Officer of the company.

We have historically financed our operations through, debt from third party lenders, notes issued to various private individuals and personal funds advanced from time to time by the majority shareholder, who is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $283,660 a working capital of $474,276 and an accumulated deficit of $1,121,794.

On November 16, 2015, we terminated our factoring agreement and the balance of the loan was paid in full with the Company’s newly acquired commercial line of credit for $150,000. This credit line agreement will be paid over a three year term with monthly payments equal to 2.780% of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest. The initial variable interest rate on this agreement is 5.25% per annum. This interest rate may change every year on the anniversary date or change date to reflect the new prime rate in effect as per the Wall Street Journal plus 2%. The interest rate will never be greater than 25% or less than 5%. On April 20, 2016 the existing line of credit was increased from $150,000 to $250,000 with an extended maturity date of April 20, 2019. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the outstanding balance was $54,907 and $62,361, respectively. Interest expense relating to this line of credit for 2016 and 2015 was $4,029 and $298, respectively.

Table of Contents

We intend to finance our internal growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. We believe that our cash provided from operations and cash on hand will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of Accounts Receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Tax”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Table of Contents

Inventory Obsolescence

Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving or obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are shipped. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability is reasonably assured.

There are no maintenance or service contracts related to any product sale.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

AmpliTech Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmpliTech Group, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AmpliTech Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For The Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

(1) Organization and Business Description

AmpliTechGroup Inc. (“AmpliTech” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 18, 2002. On August 13, 2012, the Company acquired AmpliTech Inc., by issuing 16,675,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the shareholders of Amplitech Inc. in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of AmpliTech Inc. (“the Share Exchange”). After the Share Exchange, the selling shareholders owned 1,200,000 shares of the outstanding 17,785,000 shares of Company common stock, resulting in a change in control. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which AmpliTech, Inc. was deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the operations of the Company were consolidated for accounting purposes. The capital balances have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.

AmpliTech designs, engineers and assembles micro-wave component based low noise amplifiers (“LNA”) that meet individual customer specifications. Application of the Company’s proprietary technology results in maximum frequency gain with minimal background noise distortion as required by each customer. The Company has both domestic and international customers in such industries as aerospace, governmental, defense and commercial satellite.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future. An allowance of $0 has been recorded at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are determined by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 there were 39,869,206 and 39,607,619, respectively potential dilutive shares that needed to be considered as common share equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Therefore, management does not believe significant credit risks exist at December 31, 2016. Sales to the Company's two largest customers represented approximately 35% and 18% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents are valued using inputs in Level 1.

Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

F-9

Table of Contents

AmpliTech Group, Inc

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

Level 3. Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.

Application of Valuation Hierarchy

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the Company assessed that the fair value of , accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer deposits, notes payable, and amounts due to officer approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

(3) Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). The inventory value at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows;

	2016			2015

Raw Materials	$	189,373		$	119,027
Work-in Progress		48,791			11,562

Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, and based on that evaluation they concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective.

The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that re-evaluation due to material weakness identified below, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2016 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report.

Board Committees

We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act timely filed all required reports in 2016.

Code of Ethics

We currently do not have a code of ethics that applies to our officers, employees and director, including our Chief Executive Officer, however, we are in the process of formulating a code of ethics and intend to adopt one in the near future.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
