Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The statements regarding urban-gro, Inc. contained in this Report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes” or “plans,” or comparable terminology, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences are identified in this Report, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for condensed financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ deficit and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no material changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of propertylong-lived assets and equipment,goodwill, inventory write offs, allowance for deferred tax assets, and allowance for bad debt.

 

Reclassification

 

6

Going Concern AssessmentCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

With the implementation of FASB’s new standard on going concern, ASC No. 205-40, beginning with the year ended December 31, 2016 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, we will assess going concern uncertainty for our financial statements to determine if we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and working capital to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look - forward period” as defined by ASC No. 205-40. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, and estimates, and we will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and our ability to delay or curtail those expenditures or programs, among other factors, if necessary, within the look-forward period in accordance with ASC No 205-40.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and other current assets and liabilities. We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Fair value is based on 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities in our financial statements approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. Investments in non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less other-than-temporary impairments. The carrying amount of our notes payable and convertible debt at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximates their fair values based on our incremental borrowing rates.

There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 categorizations and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for the period ended June 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short term cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not maintain any cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with financial institutions that may from time to time exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances and believes the risk to be minimal.

7

Accounts Receivable, Net

Trade accounts receivables are carried at the original invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts was $91,737 and $63,455, respectively. The allowances for doubtful accounts are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting the Company's customer base. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit to the customer. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additions to the allowance would be required. A provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent they are considered unlikely to be collected. Bad debt expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $23,099 and $94,145 respectively. Bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $39,963 and $112,783 respectively.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. All inventory is finished goods and no raw products or work in progress is recorded on the balance sheet. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold at the realization of change in value. Once written down, inventories are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.  Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. 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) for tax purposes where appropriate. No impairment charges were recorded for period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:

Computer and technology equipment3 years
Furniture and Equipment5 years
Leasehold ImprovementsLease term
Molds and Tooling3 years
Vehicles3 years
Warehouse Equipment3 years
Software3 years

Intangible Assets

The Company’ intangible assets, consisting of legal fees for application of patents and trademarks are recorded at cost, and once approved will be amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated life, generally 5 years for patents and 10 to 20 years for trademarks. Intangible assets are included in “other assets” on the balance sheet. The net balance of intangible assets for June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $51,389 and $31,054 respectively. Amortization expense totaled $270 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $337 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

8

Equity Investments

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted the ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10). Under the new ASC, entities no longer use the cost method of accounting as it was applied before, but it can elect a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the practical expedient in ASC 820 to estimate fair value using the NAV per share. After management’s assessment of each of these two equity investments, management concluded that these two investments should be accounted for using measurement alternative. Under the alternative, the Company measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, and the Company has to make a separate election to use the alternative for each eligible investment and has to apply the alternative consistently from period to period until the investment’s fair value becomes readily determinable. ASU further requires that the Company should use prospective method for all equity investments without readily determinable fair values.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criterial standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given to whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts.  There was no material impact to our revenue recognition process because of the implementation of FASB ASC 606 as of June 30, 2018.

Customer Deposit

The Company’s policy is to collect deposits from customers at the beginning of the project prior to the design phase. The customer payments received are recorded as a customer deposit liability on the balance sheet. When the project is complete and meets all the criteria for revenue recognition, the deposit is recorded against the customer’s Accounts Receivable Balance. In certain situations when the customer has paid the deposit and design work has been completed but the customer chooses not to proceed with the project, the Company may keep the deposit and book it to revenue.

Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of revenues in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. The Company’s cost of revenues includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the purchasing of our products, fees for third-party commissions and shipping costs. Total shipping costs included in the cost of goods sold was $81,568 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $59,227 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $157,768 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $101,725 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established, as needed to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

9

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. There were no such interest or penalty for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

On December 22, 2017 the U.S. Tax Reform, which among other effects, reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 34% (or 35% in certain cases) beginning in 2018, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that is payable over eight years, makes the receipt of future non-U.S. sourced income of non-U.S. subsidiaries tax-free to U.S. companies and creates a new minimum tax on the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries relating to the parent’s deductions for payments to the subsidiaries. The Company’s provisional estimate is that no tax will be due under this provision. The Company continues to gather information relating to this estimate.

Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences that exist at the balance sheet date and that result in an obligation to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax in the future. The deferred tax is measured at the rate expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company’s financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. There was no deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertisings costs in the periods the costs are incurred. Prepayments made under contracts are included in prepaid expenses and expensed when the advertisement is run. Total advertising expense incurred was $73,086 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $9,267 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $95,356 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $15,274 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Share Based Compensation

The Company periodically issue shares of its common stock to employees and consultants in non-capital raising transactions for fees and services. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505, Equity, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

The Company accounts for stock grants issued and vesting to employees based on ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereas the award is measured at its fair value at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Accounting for stock-based compensation to employees requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on estimated fair values. The Company also estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from our estimates.

10

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10”). Basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented. 

The treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted EPS for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants, which assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants, would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. UpdatesThe FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the FASB ASCs are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"(“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believethe Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on ourthe Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

FASB ASU No. 2016-02, (Topic 842) “Leases”Issues in February 2016, ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months in the statement of financial position. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. ASU 2016-02 also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. Although the Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-02 is expected to have no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

This will also reduce the amount of the liability the Company owes to the taxing agencies. Additionally, the company has increased its allowance for doubtful accounts for customers that do not pay their outstanding tax liability.through 2020.

On February 21, 2020, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, urban-gro Canada Technologies Inc. and Impact., as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bridging Finance Inc., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement, which was denominated in Canadian dollars (C$), was comprised of (i) a 12-month senior secured demand term loan facility in the amount of C$2.7 million ($2.0 million), which was funded in its entirety on the closing date (the “Term Loan”); and (ii) a 12-month demand revolving credit facility of up to C$5.4 million ($4.0 million), which could be drawn from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and described further below (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Loan, the “Facilities”). The Credit Agreement was personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and Chairman, Brad Nattrass, and was to be in place for the original term of the Credit Agreement (1 year) plus a 1-year extension period at the discretion of the Lender as provided in the Credit Agreement.

The final maturity date of the Facilities was initially stipulated in the Credit Agreement as the earlier of (i) demand, and (ii) the date that is 12 months after the closing date, with a potential extension to the date that is 24 months after the closing date (the “Initial Maturity Date”). The Facilities bore interest at the annual rate established and designated by the Bank of Nova Scotia as the prime rate, plus 11% per annum. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Facilities was due and payable monthly in arrears, on the last business day of each month, and on the Initial Maturity Date.

The Revolving Facility could initially be borrowed and re-borrowed on a revolving basis by the Company during the term of the Facilities, provided that borrowings under the Revolving Facility were limited by a loan availability formula equal to the sum of (i) 90% of insured accounts receivable, (ii) 85% of investment grade receivables, (iii) 75% of other accounts receivable, (iv) 50% of eligible inventory, and (v) the lesser of C$4.05 million ($3.0 million) and (A) 75% of uncollected amounts on eligible signed equipment orders for equipment systems contracts and (B) 85% of uncollected amounts on eligible signed professional services order forms for design contracts. The Revolving Facility could be prepaid in part or in full without a penalty at any time during the term of the Facilities, and the Term Loan could be prepaid in full or in part without penalty subject to 60 days prior notice in each case subject to certain customary conditions.

On September 4, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) whereas the Facilities described above were due on December 31, 2021 (the “Revised Maturity Date”). The First Amendment also increased the rate at which the Facilities will bear interest to the annual rate established and designated by the Bank of Nova Scotia as the prime rate, plus 12% per annum.

As a result of the First Amendment, the Company was required to prepay, on or before January 31, 2021, $1,000,000 of the balance of the Term Loan and begin making monthly payments of $100,000 on the balance on the Term Loan starting on March 1, 2021. Additionally, the Company was required to make monthly payments of $50,000 on the balance under the Revolving Facility beginning October 1, 2020 and could make no more draws under the Revolving Facility.

NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires that effects of changes in tax rates to be recognized in the period enacted. Recognizing the late enactment of the Act and complexity of accurately accounting for its impact, the Securities and Exchange Commission in SAB 118 provides guidance that allows registrants to provide a reasonable estimate of the Act in their financial statements and adjust the reported impact in a measurement period not to exceed one year. The Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act; however, a reasonable estimate was made to measure tax liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future as a result of the reduction on the federal tax rate, and the Company has estimated no tax liability as of December 31, 2017 due to operating losses. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, which provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10-25 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax position that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has filed an extension with the IRS and has not determined if it is more likely or not to recognize a loss carryforward. The Company had no tax positions relating to open income tax returns that were considered to be uncertain. The company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” which 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 difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company had no tax provisions as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company had a net loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, resulting in no tax liability incurred in the current quarter.

Results Of Operations

 

Comparison of Results of Operations forDuring the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

During the six month period ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2021, we generated revenues of $9,343,664,$12.0 million compared to revenues of $4,795,114$4.2 million during the similar period in 2017,three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $4,548,550.$7.8 million, or 182%. Equipment systems revenue increased $8.0 million primarily due to an increase in cultivation equipment sales, services revenue decreased $0.1 million and consumable product sales decreased $0.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cost of revenues was $9.4 million compared to $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $6.3 million, or 198%. This increase arose primarily as a result of increased revenues attributable to sales of cultivation technology, which increased by $4,908,008. While this increase may beis directly attributable to the general growth of the cannabis industry in North America which has provided us with additional sales opportunities, we also believe that this increase in revenue occurred primarily as a result of our increased emphasis on our cultivation technologies segment. This segment included $2,638,038 in revenues derived from cultivation equipment, compared to revenues of $693,534 in this segment during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which occurred as a result of our increased focus on the sale of cultivation equipment in 2018, as well as an increase of $2,238,807 in fertigation, which we attribute to increased marketing efforts and industry demand for large control systems. In addition, cultivation technology revenues increased in other segments, including integrated pest management, which increased by $197,930, which we believe was directly attributable to new employees hired to market this segment, inputs, which increased by $35,348, which we believe was due to increased sales of substrates due to more focus on consumables in the cannabis industry and other cultivation revenue, which increased by $491,420, which was primarily due to project management fees and forfeited deposits by clients who cancelled projects after the design work had commenced.indicated above.

We also generated additional revenues in salesGross profit was $2.6 million (22% of our lighting systems, which decreased fromrevenues) during the relevant period in 2017 by $381,221three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.1million (26% of revenues) during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross profit as a resultpercentage of revenues decreased due to a large decreaserevenue mix shift in P.L. light sales, which we have discontinued. However,the current period favoring equipment systems revenues from the sale of our soleil grow light systems increased by $1,225,487.

As we have previously disclosed, in 2016 we began diversifying our business, moving from a lighting distribution company to emphasizing cultivation technologies. In 2015, we were considered a value added reseller of P.L. grow light systems, with 97% of our revenues generated from lighting related product sales. In order to grow our business we made a strategic decision to:

·      focus on building/positioning our brand as an ancillary national market leader delivering best in class value-added product solutions to Cannabis cultivators;

·      expand our sales reach to extend across the US;versus services and

·      expand our product offering to include a full line of other cultivation equipment and products used by cannabis cultivators.

We now consider ourselves a one-stop, turnkey provider of agricultural technology systems.

Cost of goods sold increased to $6,473,345 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $3,637,794 during the similar period in 2017, an increase of $2,835,551. These increases are directly related to our increased consumables revenues.

 

Operating expenses also increased duringremained constant at $2.5 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2017 by $2,098,223, from $2,014,527 in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017, to $4,112,750 in the same period in 2018. Marketing expense increased by $249,770March 31, 2020. This was due to increasesthe offsetting effects of a $0.1 million reduction in advertisingstock-based compensation expense and a $0.1 million increase in general operating expenses, business development and costs of attendance at trade shows. Office costs and personnel expense increased by $149,696 and $1,333,989, respectively,mainly due to our expanding work force. Many of our new employees are members of management, whichan increase in salary and travel expenses.

Non-operating expenses increased compensation expense. Professional fees also increased by $152,602, from $231,229 during$1.4 million to $1.7 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, compared to $383,831 in 2018. Travel expense increased by $156,304 due to our expanding sales and marketing to additional jurisdictions. Stock compensation expense$0.3 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $213,955 and $8,690, respectively, basedMarch 31, 2020. The Company incurred a $0.8 million loss on the vesting schedule of the stock grants.  As of June 30, 2018, 137,000 shares vested and were issued to employees.

Through repaymentextinguishment of debt and a $0.6 million expense related to the conversion of previously existing debt to equity interest expense inat a discount to the sixoffering price for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $43,274, compared to $162,421 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.

 

As a result of the above, we incurred a net loss of ($1,281,698) during$1.6 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018 ($0.05March 31, 2021, or a loss per share),share of $0.20, compared to a net loss of ($1,019,088) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($0.04 per share).

Comparison of Results of Operations$1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017March 31, 2020 or a loss per share of $0.36.

 

During the three month period ended June 30, 2018, we generated revenues of $5,897,300, compared to revenues of $3,368,570 during the similar period in 2017, an increase of $2,528,730. This increase arose primarily as a result of increased revenues attributable to sales of cultivation technology, which increased by $3,038,335. While this increase may be attributable to the general growth of the cannabis industry in North America which has provided us with additional sales opportunities, we also believe that this increase in revenue occurred primarily as a result of our increased emphasis on our cultivation technologies segment. This segment included $1,837,971 in revenues derived from cultivation equipment, compared to revenues of $534,033 in this segment during the three months ended June 30, 2017, which occurred as a result of our increased focus on the sale of cultivation equipment in 2018, as well as an increase of $2,595,928 in fertigation, which we attribute to increased marketing efforts and industry demand for large control systems. In addition, cultivation technology revenues increased in other segments, including integrated pest management, which increased by $31,126, which we believe was directly attributable to new employees hired to market this segment and other cultivation revenue, which increased by $407,901, which was primarily due to project management fees and forfeited deposits by clients who cancelled projects after the design work had commenced.

We also generated additional revenues in sales of our lighting systems, which decreased from the relevant period in 2017 by $452,874 as a result of a large decrease in P.L. light sales, which we have discontinued. However, in this segment, revenues from the sale of our soleil grow light systems increased by $570,360. See the discussion included in the comparative section for the 6 months for an additional explanation as to why our revenues increased.

Cost of goods sold increased to $4,030,852 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compares to $2,530,055 during the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $1,500,797. These increases are directly related to increased revenues.

OperatingNON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses the supplemental financial measure of Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and it is not a substitute for other measures prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, and cash flows from operating activities. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to urban-gro, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of certain operating and non-operating expenses also increased duringincluding, but not limited to, interest expense, depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of investments, unrealized exchange losses, and stock-based compensation expense that we do not believe reflect our core operating performance.

Our board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our operating performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results the three months ended June 30, 2018 comparedimpact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance.

The following table reconciles net loss attributable to the same period in 2017 by $1,129,695, from $1,211,161 in the three months ended June 30, 2017,Company to $2,340,856 in the same period in 2018. Marketing expense increased by $187,587 due to increases in advertising expenses, business development and costs of attendance at trade shows. Office costs and personnel expense increased by $26,196 and $684,853, respectively, due to our expanding work force. Many of our new employees are members of management, which increased the compensation expense. Professional fees also increased by $97,356 and travel expense increased by $187,751 due to our expanding sales and marketing to additional jurisdictions. Stock compensation expenseAdjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $114,105 and $8,690 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2021, we had cash orand cash equivalents of $1,023,284.$49.9 million, which represented an increase of $49.7 million from December 31, 2020. This increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to the net proceeds received from our equity offering in February of 2021 of $58.2 million offset by $5.8 million of debt repayment and $3.0 million of treasury stock purchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities was $(408,344)of $1.9 million during the six month periodthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2020, an improvement of $2.2 million. This increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily the result of the $1.6 million improvement in income from operations for the comparable periods with the remaining fluctuation being primarily comprised of fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities. At March 31, 2021, we had $4.7 million in client deposits related to client orders, compared to $266,036 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.client deposits of $4.9 million as of December 31, 2020. We anticipate that overhead costs and other expenses will increase in the future as we continue to expand our operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $297,163 for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $30,670 during the same six months period in 2017. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $72,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2018, compared to $304,754 provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2018, 137,000 shares of Common Stock previously reserved for issuance to employees, vested and were issued.

The significant increase in customer deposits was due to an increase in customer orders. Customer orders require prepayments from clients before theany design work is commenced and before any material is ordered from the vendor. PrepaymentsThese prepayments are booked to the customerclient deposits liability account when received. When the product ships to the customer, the customer is invoiced and an accounts receivable balance is created for the customer. The deposit is then moved from the customer deposit account to the customer accounts receivable account to clear the receivable. Our standard policy is to collect the following before action is taken: a 10% design deposit, 40% order deposit, and a 50% shipping deposit. We expect customerclient deposits to be relieved from the deposits account no longer than 12 months for each project. The netAt March 31, 2021, we had $3.4 million of vendor prepayments compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, we had $2.2 million in accounts payable, compared to $0.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Net cash used in operationsinvesting activities was $0.0 million for prepaymentsthe three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Historically, cash has been used to increase our investments in strategic partnerships and advances areto acquire property and equipment. We will continue to have ongoing needs to purchase property and equipment to maintain our operations. We have no material commitments for payments made to vendors for prepayments on orders. Due to the increase in projects, we increased our prepayments to order materials from our vendors.capital expenditures as of March 31, 2021.

 

In August 2016, when still an LLC, we undertook a private offeringNet cash provided by financing activities was $49.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily relates to $58.2 million in net proceeds received from the issuance of member interests wherein we received subscriptions of $575,107stock, offset by $5.8 million used in the formrepayment of 6,392 member interests to three (3) accredited investors (approximately $90 per member interest) or approximately $0.46 per share based upon the conversion rate of 193.3636722notes payable and $3.0 million in treasury shares per member interest issued when we converted into a corporation in 2017). These funds were used to (i) add two systems designers to expand our Cultivation Technologies team to support market demand; (ii) expandacquired.

In May 2017, we commenced a private offering of our Common Stock wherein we received aggregate subscriptions of $2,546,000 from the sale of 2,546,000 shares, at $1 per share, to 76 investors, including 58 “accredited” investors, as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These funds were used to repay debt, expansion of our existing business operations, new investment opportunities and working capital.

We currently have three other notes outstanding, all of which are unsecured. Two of the note holders agreed to convert $300,000Critical Accounting Policies and $200,000 of their respective notes into shares of our Common Stock as part of our private placement of common stock in 2017, leaving a balance of $80,000 and $100,000, respectively. Interest accrues at 1.7% and 1.5% per month on these notes. Both are unsecured and due December 31, 2018. The third note has a principal balance of $300,000, accrues interest at the rate of 1.65% per month and was due to mature March 23, 2018. In March 2018 this note was extended for one year. In consideration for the lender’s agreement to extend this note we issued 6,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one shares of our Common Stock at a price of $1 per share for a term of five years. Interest is paid twice monthly.

While no assurances can be provided we anticipate that we will generate sufficient revenues during the remainder of 2018 and into 2019 to satisfy our needs. However, if we do not generate profits, or if such profits are insufficient, or if additional acquisitions are identified and we cannot use our securities as compensation, we will need additional capital to continue to implement our business plan. If such capital is required, we estimate that we will need approximately $500,000. While we believe we will be able to raise these funds in either debt or equity, we have no agreement with any third party to provide us the same and there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise any capital on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we require additional capital and are unable to raise the same, it could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.Estimates

 

Off BalanceCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which 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 amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the 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 For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

This reportDisclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021, at reasonable assurance levels.

We believe that our financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

Inherent Limitations – Our management team, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error 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. The design of any system of controls 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. 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 a reportthe realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of management's assessment regardingsimple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our three months ended March 31, 2021, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm dueare reasonably likely to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
