FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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, 2019. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any future disclosures we make on related subjects in future reports to the SEC.

Effective March 7, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Impact Engineering, Inc. (d/b/a Grow2Guys) (“Impact”), a provider of mechanical electrical and plumbing (MEP)(“MEP”) engineering services predominantly focused on the cannabis industry. ManagementThe Company believes the acquisition of Impact will improve the Company’s ability to better serve its current and future customer base by expanding on the fully integrated products and services offered by the Company. The Company issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock”) valued at $2.00 per share to effect the acquisition of Impact. The Company has initially accounted for the acquisition of Impact as follows:

 

Purchase Price $1,025,000  $1,000,000 
        
Allocation of Purchase Price:        
Cash $49,742  $49,742 
Accounts receivable, net $149,648  $93,811 
Goodwill $871,230  $902,067

Business Plan

The Company’s diversification plans have led to the strategic decision to focus on higher margin productsLiquidity and services, especially recurring or managed services, delivering value-added product solutions to cannabis cultivators. Management has implemented the following actions to increase profit margins and generate positive operating cash flow: 1) establish strategic partnerships with the Company’s vendors to pool purchasing power in order to decrease costs; 2) implement a range of design fees associated with providing a range of services that includes (i) cultivation space programming, MEP engineering, and cultivation interior; 3) create a commissioning team compiled of engineers and subject matter experts, and charge commissioning fees for training staff and starting up new environmental controls and fertigation systems; 4) create a professional services team and charge for facility optimization services which includes an audit focused on locating areas of opportunities where system retrofits/upgrades will result in increased performance; 5) design and implement integrated pest management plans, biological controls procedures and pesticide prescriptions to these customers, and; 6) provide wireless IoT technology solutions that allow growers to gain deep insight into real-time conditions at the micro-climate level in their facilities. While no assurances can be provided, management believes these objectives will increase the Company’s gross profit and increase cash provided by operations.

LiquidityGoing Concern

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities, debt, and operating revenue. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,259,457,$20,156,227, a working capital deficit of $6,556,214,$8,539,859, and negative stockholders’ equity of $5,265,472.$6,604,564. These facts and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company continually evaluates opportunities to raise equity and debt financing and has also sought to implement cost reduction and revenue enhancing measures to help achieve profitability and continue operations. There can, however, be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all, nor can there be any assurances that the Company will be able to implement cost reduction and revenue enhancing measures that will enable the Company to achieve profitable operations going forward. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

9

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we assess going concern uncertainty for our condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. 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 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. We believe it is probable that management’s plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regardingability to continue as a going concern in its audit report onwithin one year after the Company fordate that the year ended December 31, 2018.financial statements are issued.

Going Concern Assessment

Pursuant to ASC 205-40, we assess going concern uncertainty for our consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. 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 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.

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 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 consolidated 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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.

10

Accounts Receivable, Net

Trade accounts receivables are carried at the original invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts was $18,920 and $18,920, 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. Occasionally the Company will write off bad debt directly to the bad debt expense account when the balance is determined to be uncollectable. Bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $12,252 and $73,138, respectively and for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $637 and $33,175, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting entirely of finished goods inventories, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost method. 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. 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 basis until sold or scrapped.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

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

Computer and Technology Equipment3 years
Furniture and Equipment5 years
Leasehold ImprovementsLease term
Vehicles3 years
Software3 years
Other Equipment3 or 5 years

Operating Lease Right of Use Assets

Operating lease right of use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment. The Company has two operating leases with an imputed annual interest rate of 8%. The terms of the first lease are 24 months commencing on September 1, 2018 and ending on August 31, 2020. The terms of the second lease are 28 months commencing on September 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2021.

Equity Investments

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments.

Equity investments for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of the earnings or losses as reported by equity-method investees are classified as “Income (Loss) from equity investees, net of tax” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

11

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets, consisting of legal fees for application of patents and trademarks and license fees paid for inspection services, are recorded at cost. Patents and trademarks, 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. License fees are amortized over 10 years. Intangible assets are included in “other assets” on the balance sheets.

Customer Deposits

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 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 recognize revenue.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with 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.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of sales in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. The Company’s cost of sales 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 cost of sales was $491,950 and $244,754 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $149,266 and $86,986 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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 $130,894 and $127,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $44,282 and $31,960 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for its warrants by estimating the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term, risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the warrants and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is moderately judgmental.

Share Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues both options and shares of its Common Stock to employees and consultants in non-capital raising transactions for fees and services.

12 

 

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees with the value of the stock compensation based upon the measurement date as determined at the grant date of the award. Accounting for stock-based compensation to non-employees requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees based on estimated fair values.

The Company accounts for stock grants issued and vesting to employees with the award being measured at its fair value at the date of grant and 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 estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from its estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company files a federal income tax return in the United States and state and local tax returns in applicable jurisdictions. Provisions for current income tax liabilities, if any, would be calculated and accrued on income and expense amounts expected to be included in the income tax returns for the current year. Income taxes reported in earnings, if any, would also include deferred income tax provisions.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, if any, would be computed on differences between the financial statement bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities would be included as a component of income tax expense. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted tax rates would be charged or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.

Assets and liabilities would be established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions, in the judgement of the Company, do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.

Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share would be computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented. The diluted earnings per share calculation is not presented as it results in an anti-dilutive calculation of net loss per share.

The treasury stock method would be used to calculate diluted earnings per share for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants. This method 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.

13

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU amending the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months, in addition to those currently recorded, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated cash flows will be generally consistent with the prior lease accounting guidance. The ASU was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 13, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective method with respect to lease contracts in effect as of the adoption date. The adoption of the ASU increased our assets and liabilities by $139,266 as of January 1, 2019 due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities with respect to operating leases.

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 is denominated in Canadian dollars (C$), is 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 may 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 will 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 will be 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 “Maturity Date”). The Facilities will bear interest at the annual rate established and designated by the Bank of Nova Scotia as the prime rate, plus 11% per annum (13.5% as of June 30, 2020). Accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Facilities will be due and payable monthly in arrears, on the last business day of each month, and on the Maturity Date.

The Revolving Facility may 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 will be 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 may be prepaid in part or in full without a penalty at any time during the term of the Facilities, and the Term Loan may be prepaid in full or in part without penalty subject to 60 days prior notice in each case subject to certain customary conditions.

The Company incurred $1,222,323 of debt issuance costs in connection with these Facilities, of which $676,822 was non-cash in the form of common stock and warrant issuances. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock. The Company recorded the debt issuance costs as either a deferred financing asset or a direct reduction of the loan obligation based on the pro-rata value of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan, respectively, on the closing date. The debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over a period of 24 months based on management’s assessment that it is more likely than not that the Credit Agreement will be in place for a total period of 24 months. As of June 30, 2020, there were $679,069 and $339,534 of unamortized debt issuance costs remaining related to the Revolving Facility and Term Loan, respectively.

The Company recorded interest expense of $664,343 and $249,117 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which $203,720 and $0 respectively, was amortization of debt issuance costs.

Coronavirus Pandemic

 

The recent outbreak of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus first identified in China, which has spread across the globe including the U.S., has had an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. Most recently, the response to this coronavirus by federal, state and local governments in the U.S. has resulted in significant market and business disruptions across many industries and affecting businesses of all sizes. This pandemic has also caused significant stock market volatility and further tightened capital access for most businesses. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant economic slowdown it appears increasingly likely that it could cause a global recession, which could be of an unknown duration and could have had an adverse effect on our liquidity and profitability.

 

As a result of these events, we assessed our near-term operations, working capital, finances and capital formation opportunities, and implemented, in late March 2020, a downsizing of our operations and workforce to preserve cash resources and focus our operations on customer-centric sales and project management activities. The duration and likelihood of success of this workforce reduction are uncertain. If this downsizing effort does not meet our expectations, or additional capital is not available, we may not be able to continue our operations. Other factors that will affect our ability to continue operations include the market demand for our products and services, our ability to service the needs of our customers and prospects with a reduced workforce, potential contract cancellations, project scope reductions and project delays, our ability to fulfill our current backlog, management of our working capital, the availability of cash to fund our operations, and the continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of our products. In light of these extenuating circumstances, there is no assurance that we will be successful in growing and maintaining our business with our customers. If our customers or prospects are unable to obtain project financing and we are unable to increase revenues, or otherwise generate cash flows from operations, we will not be able to successfully execute on the various strategies and initiatives we have set forth in this Report to grow our business.

 

 

 

 1915 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on our financial and operational results, which could be material, will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, its effect on the demand for our products and our supply chain, the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing. We cannot at this time predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a larger material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows beyond what is discussed within this Report.

 

NOTE 1312 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $992,549 and 1,097,137, respectively, based on the vesting schedule of the stock grants and options. Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $559,504 and $508,440, respectively, based on the vesting schedule of the stock grants and options. No cash flow effects are anticipated for stock grants.

In January 2017, the Company began granting stock to attract, retain, and reward employees with Common Stock. Stock grants are offered as part of the employment offer package, to ensure continuity of employment or as a reward for performance. Each of these grants requires a specific tenure of employment before the grant vests with typical vesting periods of 1 to 3 years of employment.

 

The following schedule shows stock grant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In January 2018, the Company implemented an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) to reward and attract employees and compensate vendors for services when applicable. Stock options are offered as part of an employment offer package, to ensure continuity of service or as a reward for performance.  The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date $0.90, the remaining contractual term of the options of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.75% and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 100%.

In May 2019, the Company terminated the original plan and adopted a new equity incentive plan, authorizing an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. Stock grants under the equity incentive programs are valued at the price of the stock on the date of grant. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when estimating the value of the options with the Black Scholes option pricing model as the assumptions used are moderately judgmental. Stock options and stock grants are sometimes offered as part of an employment offer package, to ensure continuity of service or as a reward for performance.

We provide solutions that benefit single and multi-state operator’s needsCOVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to effectively manage investmenthave surfaced in capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx). CapEx products and services include the design, engineering, and sale of integrated cultivation systems. Integrated cultivation systems offered include environmental controls and automated fertigation/irrigation systems, commercial-grade light systemsWuhan, China. In January 2020, this coronavirus spread to other countries, including light-emitting diode (LED) and high-pressure sodium (HPS) light fixtures, a complete line of water treatment solutions, rolling and automated benching systems, air flow systems, and odor and microbial mitigation systems. OpEx related products and services include recurring revenues realized in our Environmental Sciences, Professional Services, and Technology divisions. In our Environmental Sciences division, we market a line of integrated pest management products and provides proactive guidance to operators on segment best practices. In our Professional Services division, we provide segment specific expertise and recommends system solutions to mitigate any opportunities for improvement. In our Technology division we market an end-to-end hardware and software wireless IoT solution that provides real time feedback to operators, in turn allowing them to run their facilities at the highest levels of consistency and optimization. We primarily market our products and services throughout the United States, and Canada. During 2018 and 2019, we also made preliminary efforts to sign contractscontain the spread of this coronavirus intensified. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus a pandemic. We are a business that supplies other essential businesses with support and supplies necessary to operate and we therefore believe we are an essential business allowed to continue operating under the Stay-At-Home Orders issued by many states and cities. However, as discussed below, we have seen a decrease in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a portion of which was the result of customers deferring spending due to the impacts of COVID-19. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on projectsfuture developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact.

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on our financial and operational results, which could be material, will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, its effect on the demand for our products and our supply chain, the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing. We cannot at this time predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a larger material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows beyond what is discussed within this Report.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted. The CARES Act is an approximate $2 trillion emergency economic stimulus package passed in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The CARES Act, among other things, includes broad sweeping provisions such as direct financial assistance to Americans in the form of one-time payments to individuals; aid to businesses in the form of loans and grants; and efforts to stabilize the U.S. economy and keep Americans employed in general. On April 16, 2020, we received a loan in the amount of $1,020,600 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the CARES Act. The PPP provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “PPPFA”) was enacted. The PPPFA extended the covered period of the loans under the PPP from eight weeks to 24 weeks from the origination date of the loan, or December 31, 2020, whichever is earlier. Therefore, the PPP now provides a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed after 24 weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds during the 24-week period after the loan origination for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, certain benefits costs, rent and utilities costs or other permitted purposes, and maintains its payroll levels, subject to certain other requirements and limitations. The amount of loan forgiveness is subject to reduction, among other reasons, if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the 24-week period. The interest rate on the loan is 1.0% per annum. The PPPFA also extended the deferment period for principal and interest payments on PPP loans from six months to ten months. Therefore, the payments of principal and interest under our PPP loan are deferred for ten months from the final day of the loan forgiveness period (the “Deferral Period”). Any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan is payable over the two-year term, with payments deferred during the Deferral Period. The Company is permitted to prepay the loan at any time without payment of any premium.

 

Results Of Operations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated revenues of $8.3 million compared to revenues of $11.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 28%. This decrease was comprised of a $1.9 million decrease in cultivation equipment sales, a $1.2 million decrease in complex equipment systems sales, and a $0.5 million decrease in professional services. This was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in environmental sciences revenues, recurring revenue and other revenues. A portion of the decrease in revenues was the result of customers deferring spending due to the impacts of COVID-19. As a result of the deferred spending, many of the completion dates in our customer contracts were extended, but no contracts were lost. We signed 42 new engineering design project contracts in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, including six new projects in Europe, and secured our first horticulture commissioning project, an East Coast based lettuce facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenues was $6.0 million compared to $7.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 24%. This decrease was directly related to the decrease in revenue.

Gross profit was $2.3 million (28% of revenue) during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.6 million (31% of revenue) during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue both from (i) working with facility ownersdecreased due to design, integrate systems whicha reduction in higher margin equipment sales in the current period when compared to the same period of the prior year.

Operating expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 26%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in operating expenses was comprised of a $1.2 million reduction in general operating expenses, mainly due to reduced salary and travel expenses, a $0.3 million reduction of marketing related expenses, and a $0.1 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense.

Non-operating expenses increased $0.7 million to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt and a $0.3 million impairment loss recorded in the period, not present in the comparable period in the prior year.

A portion of $2,376,442 (16%). While this increase is partially attributablethe decrease in revenues was the result of customers deferring spending due to the general growthimpacts of the cannabis industry in North America, we believe that this increase primarily occurred asCOVID-19. As a result of the deferred spending, many of the completion dates in our increased marketing effortscustomer contracts were extended, but no contracts were lost. We signed 24 new engineering design project contracts in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, including 2 new projects in Europe, and industry demand for large, environmentally controlled, grow facilities. This increase in revenue primarily occurred in lighting ($1,528,678 increase) and environmental sciences ($461,359 increase).secured our first horticulture commissioning project, an East Coast based lettuce facility.

BeginningNon-operating expenses increased $0.5 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in August 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction initiatives that we anticipate will have the following impact on our ongoing operating expenses, including generalinterest expense due to an increase in debt and administrative costs:

·Reduced employees by 15, which we expect to result in savings up to $1,828,000, including a 25% burden for benefits and travel;
·Reduced marketing expenditures by $500,000 by limiting participation in tradeshows and outsourced marketing functions;
·Eliminated outsourced product development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we incurred approximately $240,000 under that outsourcing program;
·Reduced corporate function activities, which is expected to result in savings of up to $50,000.

Interest expense, excluding amortization related to the convertible debentures of $796,233,a $0.3 million impairment loss recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $374,850 compared to $65,573 incurred duringperiod, not present in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as a result of increased debt.comparable period in the prior year.

There were not material changes in revenue in anyinvestments, and stock-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our divisions during these comparable periods.operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

 

Our board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance.

During

There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA to compare the three months ended September 30, 2019, we signed 12 new environmental controls/fertigation design contracts forperformance of those companies to our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had cash of $3,505,636$402,481, which represents an increaserepresented a decrease of $2,326,784$46,222 from our cash balance as of December 31, 2018 of $1,178,852.2019.

 

AsSince inception, we have previously disclosed,incurred significant operating losses and have funded our operations primarily through issuances of equity securities, debt, and operating revenue. As of June 30, 2020, we believe we requirehad an aggregateaccumulated deficit of $6,000,000$20,156,227, a working capital deficit of $8,539,859, and negative stockholders’ equity of $6,604,564. Our ability to generate sufficient revenues to pay our debt obligations and accounts payable when due remains subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements in total fundingconnection with this Report are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments relating to fully implementthe recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, our business plan. To date, we have raised approximately $2,500,000ability to generate revenue, control costs and we will continueraise capital. Such capital, however, may not be available, if at all, on terms that are acceptable to look for a viable strategic partner(s) to finance the remaining $3,500,000. We will utilize this additional funding to expand our existing operations, including retaining additional qualified experts in engineering design, facility optimization consulting, and expanded commissioning services, as well as working capital. While no assurances can be provided, we anticipate that a portion of these funds will be provided from future operating cash flows.us.

 

BecauseAlthough we are involvednot actively engaged in the production of cannabis, federal law prohibitions on the cannabis industry and cannabis is still a Schedule 1 controlled substance under federal law, we are unablein the United States inhibit our ability to establish a relationship withtraditional banking support and opportunities. Specifically, conventional banks to provide any kind of financing, whether secured or otherwise. As of the date of this Report the US Congress is considering various legislation to allow banking in the cannabis industry. While there are no assurances that this legislation will pass Congress or otherwise become law, if it is adopted we believe we will be able to establish an ongoing relationship with an established bankcurrently unwilling to provide us with linesany financing normally available to growth stage companies similar to ourselves, including purchase order financing. As a result, we have been forced to finance our expansion primarily by raising capital privately, as well as through private debt and operating capital. This has placed a significant impediment on our cash flows. However, as described above in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 21, 2020, we entered into the Credit Agreement, providing for a 12-month senior secured demand term loan facility in the amount of C$2.7 million ($2.0 million) and a 12-month demand revolving credit secured byfacility of up to C$5.4 million ($4.0 million). Our failure to obtain additional debt or equity financing in the future could have a negative impact on our existing purchase orders and other assets. This will limitability to continue as a going concern or perhaps eliminate the need for us to issue any additional equity and subsequently dilute our existing shareholders. Until this does happen and we are given the opportunity to grow and expand our business inoperations, which will have a more traditional manner,negative impact on our anticipated results of operations. As of June 30, 2020, we will need to access capital, both debt and equity, inhad C$0.7 million ($0.5 million) of availability under the same manner that we have done so in the past.Revolving Facility.

  

Effective January 9, 2019, we executed a letter agreement with 4Front Capital Partners, Inc., Toronto, Canada (“4Front”), whereby 4Front agreed to act as ouran exclusive placement agent in connection with a private placement offering. Beginning in March 2019, 4Frontthe placement agent initiated an offering (the “Offering”) of up to $6,000,000$6.0 million from the sale of Units, with each Unit consisting of a $1,000 Convertible Debenture (the “Debentures”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 207.46 shares of our Common Stock at $3.00 per share for a period of two years from the purchase date. The Debentures arewere due May 31, 2021 and bearbore interest at 8%, compounded annually, with interest due at maturity. The Debentures, plus any accrued but unpaid interest will automatically convert for no additional consideration, into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.41 per share upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. A liquidity event means: (a) the date on which our Common Stock is listed for trading on a recognized stock exchange in either Canada or the United States; and (b) securities issued pursuant to the Offering, including the Common Stock underlying both the conversion right included in the Debentures and underlying the Warrants, have been duly qualified by a registration statement in the United States, allowing the securities to be freely tradeable pursuant to the U.S. securities laws, or a prospectus in Canada. We filed a registration statement with the SEC on September 17, 2019 to register the securities in connection with the Offering. That registration statement was declared effectiveOn October 16, 2019, triggering the liquidity event indicated above and the $2,565,000$2.6 million in Debentures plus $92,037 in accrued interest were converted into 1,102,513 Common Shares at $2.41 per share.share pursuant to their terms as a result of our registration of the securities on a registration statement that was declared effective on such date. The Warrants contain a mandatory exercise provision if the weighted average share price of our Common Stock exceeds $5.00 per share for a period of five consecutive days.

We accepted the final funding on June 24, 2019.

 

If we do not raise enough funds from a financing, or generate sufficient operating cash flow, or if additional expenditures and acquisitions are identified and we cannot use our securities as compensation, we will need additional funding to continue to implement our business plan. Whileplan and to execute our strategic initiatives. Other than the amount availability pursuant to the Revolving Facility, we believe we will be able to raise these funds in either debt or equity, wedo not currently have noan agreement with any third party to provide us the samewith such financing 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.

We require prepayments from customers before any design work is commenced and before any material is ordered from the vendor. These prepayments are booked to the customer deposits liability account when received. Our standard policy is to collect the following before action is taken on a customer order: 50% deposit; and the remaining 50% payment made prior to shipping. We expect customer deposits to be relieved from the deposits account no longer than 12 months for each project. At September 30, 2019, we had $785,480 in prepayments and advances. This is primarily comprised of prepayments to vendors to initiate orders. We do not have trade payable terms with most of our vendors and as a result, we are required to prepay a portion or all of the total order. Due to the increase in customer projectsAt June 30, 2020, we had increased prepayments$1.4 million in accounts payable, compared to order materials from vendors.$3.8 million at December 31, 2019.

Historically, cash has been used to increase our investments in strategic partnerships and to acquire property and equipment. We do not anticipate using significant cash in the future to invest in strategic partnerships. We will continue to have ongoing needs to purchase property and equipment to maintain our operations. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2020.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,307,251 in$3.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, compared to $72,000$2.2 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019.

Unless we revise the terms of our existing outstanding debt, we will need to make significant payments$1.0 million long-term loan, offset by $2.7 million used in the future to pay off these outstanding obligations.

In October 2018, we received a $1,000,000 unsecured loan from James Lowe, a director, which became due April 30, 2019. The loan had a one-time origination feerepayment of $12,500. Interest accrued at the rate of 12% per annumnotes payable and was paid monthly. As additional consideration for the loan we granted Mr. Lowe an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, which option is exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The loan is guaranteed by Mr. Nattrass, our CEO, a director and one of our principal shareholders, and by Mr. Gutierrez, one of our principal shareholders, a director, and a former officer. The due date for the note payable was extended$0.5 million in May 2019 to December 31, 2019 and the interest rate was decreased to 9% per year. In consideration for Mr. Lowe extending the maturity date of the Note and reducing the interest rate, we agreed to issue 10,000 shares of our Common Stock to him.

Gross debt, excluding operating leases, was $6,715,000 and $3,478,869 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical 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.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 2019 Form 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no material changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this Item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Interim 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.Report.

 

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission,SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO as appropriate, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, at the reasonable assurance level. 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, including our CEO and CFO, dodoes 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 the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple 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 the periodour six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, 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 are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
