LD Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. Nature of Organization

LD Holdings, Inc. (the Company),  formerly Leisure Direct, Inc., was formed on January  1, 2000 under the name of ePoolSpas.com, Inc. The formation was effected by the issuance  of 1,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock for the intangible assets of theformer operating companies,  Olympic Pools, Inc.  and Preferred Concrete Placement,  Inc.  The Company is located  in Perrysburg, Ohio. The Company plans to acquire companies in a three (3) state area and then eventually roll out nationally.  In October 2010, as part of a broader  plan, the Company opened  the first of a series  of diners it plans  to open in the Midwest.  It closed its diner  in Monroe, Michigan  at the end of August,  2011 and opened a new diner in Toledo, Ohio in October 2011.  The diners catered to thebaby boomer generation  with a family orientation. In early  2014, the last of the diners closed.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements included herein  have been prepared  in conformity  with accounting  principles generally  accepted in the  United States of America  and pursuant  to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for consulting services is recognized at the time the service has been rendered.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, Cash Equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of the three (3) months or less.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values  of accounts  payable and  other short-term  obligations approximate their carrying  values because of the short-term maturity of these financial  instruments.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period adjustments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure ofcontingent  assets and  liabilities at  the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of  revenue and expenses  during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

LD Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
3. Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss of $137,209 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a loss of $455,461 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Also, as of September 30, 2017, the Company had $0 in cash, and current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5,944,747. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management's plans include raising additional funding from debt and equity transactions that will be used to acquire point of sale outlets that should in turn increase sales. Also, the implementation of strong cost management practices and an increased focus on business development should result in the elimination of the operating losses suffered and improvement of cash flows; however, any results of the Company's plans cannot be assumed. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
4. Commitments and contingencies

The Company leases its office space from a related party, through common management and ownership, on a month-to-month basis.  Rent expense was $22,500 and $22,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

A judgment creditor has obtained an order to issue corporation unissued shares.  There are no unissued shares to issue at September 30, 2017.  The Company believes it is contrary to law and will be reversed on appeal.  The Company has accrued an amount of $200,000 in prior years toward this obligation and does not believe it will incur further exposure beyond this.

5. Stockholders' Deficit
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for cash proceeds of $200,000.  During the same period, shareholders returned and the Company cancelled 1,000,000 shares of common stock for services not performed.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company executed subscription agreements with investors to issue a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for cash proceeds of $100,000.  As of December 31, 2016, these shares had not been issued in satisfaction of the subscription agreements and were therefore recorded as stock subscriptions payable.  The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2017 in full satisfaction of the subscription obligation.  Also during the first quarter of 2017, shareholders returned and the Company cancelled 1,000,000 shares of common stock for services not performed.

6. Convertible Notes

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued $73,500 of promissory notes payable. The notes bear interest at 10% per year, computed annually and payable quarterly.  The 2017 notes mature with dates ranging from January 3, 2020 through September 8, 2020. The notes are convertible and have a conversion price of $0.15 per share.

In the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued $5,000 of convertible promissory notes payable. The notes bear interest at 10% per year, computed annually and payable quarterly.  The notes mature with dates ranging from March 22, 2019 through June 29, 2019.  The notes are convertible and have a conversion price of $0.25 per share.  Based on this fixed conversion ratio on the respective commitment dates, the Company recognized a debt discount of $8,373 for the beneficial conversion feature underlying these notes during 2015.  Any accrued interest may also be converted at the fixed conversion price; therefore it represents a contingent beneficial feature.  A total of $2,460 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2016.

A total of $21,286 and $20,573 of interest were accrued under these notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
7. Related Party

A related party, Capital First Management, Inc., is funding the Company with loans of $3,255,532 and $3,031,950 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The majority owner of Capital First Management, Inc. is the CEO of the Company.  The Company does consulting work for Capital First Management, Inc. by sourcing clients for the related party and uses their shareholder base to help build a website.  The Company also consults with Capital First Management, Inc. for other businesses.  There is a contract between the Company and the related party for these consulting services.  Revenues are recorded once these services have been performed.  Capital First Management, Inc. loans capital back to the Company for cash flow needs.

8. Subsequent Event

In accordance with ASC 865-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2017 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any other material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

 Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by LD Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter "LD Holdings") with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases "will likely result," "management expects," "LD Holdings expects," "will continue," "is anticipated" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. Actual results may differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.  LD Holdings has no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Introduction

This document contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Company's strategy, plans for growth and anticipated sources of capital and revenue.  The Company's actual results may differ dramatically from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.  The differences may be result from one or more of the risk factors described below or from events that we have not foreseen.

Risk Factors

LD Holdings has very limited financial resources.  In order to implement its business plan, we will have to raise capital.  If we are unsuccessful in raising capital, our business will not grow.

Because of its limited operating history, LD Holdings has little historical financial data on which to base its plans for future operations.  Management will have to budget capital investment and expenses based, in large part, on its expectation of future revenues.  If those expectations are not met, LD Holdings Inc. may exhaust its capital resources before it achieves operational stability.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The Company does consulting work for Capital First Management Inc. by sourcing clients for Capital First Management and uses its shareholder base and other leads to help build Capital First's website nanocapnation.com.  The Company also consults with Capital First's other businesses.  The services are performed under contract and revenue is recognized as services are performed.
 
Corporate Strategy

LD Holdings, Inc., (Symbol LDHL), has developed a business model that seeks to capitalize on the massive transfer of generational assets as the "Baby-Boomer" generation transitions from the ownership of small businesses into retirement.  The Baby-Boomer generation is represented by almost 78 million individuals born between 1946 and 1964.  Over the next 20 years as these Baby-Boomers are retiring, there are going to be businesses worth trillions of dollars that need to be sold by this Boomer generation.

Historically, the sellers typically wanted to provide minimal or no financing to the buyer.  These types of transactions were too large for most individuals to finance, too risky for banks based upon the company's individual merits (as opposed to the buyer's personal balance sheet) and too small to interest most institutional investors (hedge funds and private equity groups) to consider.  The lack of liquidity makes it difficult to raise funds privately from anyone but friends and relatives.

The company seeks to take a seemingly negative funding situation and turn it into a positive one.  Many of these Baby Boomer businesses being sold, whether the sellers want to or not, will be forced to provide a major portion, or all, of the financing in order to sell their businesses or will be forced to sell them below their true market value in order to get the business sold.

The company plans to focus its efforts on becoming a "known buyer" of small companies that meet its acquisition criteria, which it intends to widely distribute to business sellers directly and to others on its websites.  The 5-Year Plan is to accumulate at least 45 of these small companies and to slowly meld them into cohesive business units.  Using $8.33 million of revenues as an average in years 1 through 3, and $10 million of revenues as an average in years 4 and 5, would result in consolidated total revenues of $420 Million by the end of year 5.

The company's objective, through aggressive use of the Internet, is to put an outside investor base in place that shares the company's vision and objectives while the search for acquisitions is being conducted.  The company will stress on its affiliated websites and in its investor information that it is looking for long-term investors who are willing to hold their positions for a year or more.
  
The company plans to acquire at least 3 companies with $25 million sales and EBIT of $2.5 million.   At 15 x EBIT, this would place a market capitalization of $37 million on the company.  In order to accomplish its objectives, and as explained in the next section, the company has developed a 4-Step Process in which to accomplish its plans.
 
The company is establishing an Area Sales Director Business Model in a three state area (Ohio, Michigan and Indiana) initially.  If this three state model proves successful, a national rollout would follow.

Current Business Operations

LD Holdings, Inc., (Symbol LDHL), is a Financial and Management Holding Company that has identified a significant business opportunity that will fill a void in the small business world.  That void is the sale and transfer of businesses from one generation (the Baby Boomer) to the next.

With over 25 million small businesses in the USA and 15 trillion dollars of businesses to be sold over the next 15-20 years, there will be many opportunities for wealth generation.  The following services will be needed:

1*
There will be a need for Marketing, Sales and other Business Services to prepare the businesses for sale.
 
 
2*
There will be a need for buyers for these businesses.
 
 
3*
There will be a need for entrepreneur managers to manage these businesses.
 
 
4*
There will be a need for the financing of these businesses.
 
LD Holdings, Inc., as a Financial and Management Holding Company, will take advantage of this opportunity and manage the portfolio companies in which LD Holdings, Inc. will have varying percentages of ownership.

LD Holdings, Inc. will concentrate on businesses with sales between $2 million and $20 million and EBIT between $500,000 and $3 million.  This is where the real void exists.   Owners of these businesses have a difficult time getting full value because the financing of these companies is too large for most individuals to finance, too risky for banks based upon the company's individual merits (as opposed to the buyer's personal balance sheet) and too small to interest most institutional investors (hedge funds and private equity groups) to consider.  A lack of liquidity makes it difficult to raise funds privately from anyone but friends and relatives.

LD Holdings, Inc. will provide the following services:

1* The Marketing, Sales and Other Business Services represent specifically target services to position client companies for both sales and profit growth in preparation for their eventual sale.  The lead service involves the client company outsourcing some portion of the sales function to us as an Independent Sales Organization (ISO).  This enhances the value of the company because it is no longer dependent upon the selling management's relationship with the company's customers.  We provide this service under a variety of formats and compensation arrangements.  Typically, these are long-term joint-venture marketing efforts that result in recurring revenue streams to the company.  The auxiliary consulting services provided include helping the client company to finance its growth and to prepare it for sale under the most advantageous terms possible to the client.  In many cases, we will participate in the incremental value created.

2* LD Holdings, Inc. maintains an ongoing data base of businesses for sale.  This allows the company to look for synergistic opportunities to combine one or more acquisition candidates at some future date.  This database also provides the company with a historical perspective of different industries and distribution channels along with any type of geographical variation in the valuation of businesses.

3* LD Holdings, Inc. maintains a database of individuals with specific backgrounds and expertise that will be available for both acquisition evaluation, and strategizing the post-acquisition business model for each potential acquisition candidate, once the financial aspects of the transaction are determined.  Particular attention will be given to developing relationships with those entrepreneurs and managers that want to perform in a results-driven environment, which has the associated incentives in place to create personal wealth for them and an above average return for the company's stockholders.  What distinguishes these individuals is that they are self-motivated, looking for a rewarding opportunity and are willing to put in whatever time is needed.

4* LD Holdings, Inc. maintains an ongoing data base of investors that share the company's vision and objectives.  The company is looking for long-term investors who are willing to hold their positions for a year or more for superior rates of return.  Investors that want to participate in ground floor investment opportunities that the company's Business Model represents have a special wealth building vehicle available to them.  The company's stock is thinly traded with a relatively small float.  This will allow the company to look for synergistic opportunities to combine one or more acquisition candidates.
