Exhibit 99.2
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of GrowLife, Inc. and
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
EZ-Clone Enterprises, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of EZ-Clone Enterprises, Inc. as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘financial statements’). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EZ-Clone Enterprises, Inc. at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are also described in Note 2.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EZ-CLONE ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
EZ-Clone Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company” or “EZ Clone”) is as a California corporation founded in January 2000. EZ Clone is a manufacturer of multiple award-winning products specifically designed for the commercial cloning and propagation stage of indoor plant cultivation including cannabis, food, and other hydroponic farming.
The Company has proprietary products and services such as the Commercial Pro System, Hobbyist Cloning Systems, Cloning Tents, Coco Collars, Coco Seed Starters, Rooting Gel, and Clear Rez. Technical Support, know-how and overall knowledge is also considered proprietary.
The Company trademarks are EZ CLONE and EZ CLONE CRIB.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On October 15, 2018, the Company closed the Purchase and Sale Agreement with GrowLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. GrowLife provides essential and hard-to-find goods including growing media, industry-leading hydroponics equipment, organic plant nutrients, and thousands more products through its knowledgeable representatives and our distribution channels, to specialty grow operations across the United States and Canada.
GrowLife primarily sell supplies through our wholly owned subsidiary, GrowLife Hydroponics, Inc. GrowLife also distributes and sells over 15,000 products along with a handful of its own branded products through its e-commerce distribution channels, ShopGrowLife.com and GrowLifeEco.com, as well as through GrowLife licensed retail storefronts. GrowLife and its business units are organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.
GrowLife acquired 51% of EZ Clone for $2,040,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $645,000; and (ii) the issuance of 107,307,692 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.013 per share or $1,395,000.
GrowLife has the obligation to acquire the remaining 49% of EZ Clone within one year for $1,960,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $855,000; and (ii) the issuance of 85,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the fair value price of $0.013 per share or $1,105,000.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of $107,560 and $126,962 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. Net cash generated from operating activities was $159,465 and $145,331 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
The Company anticipates that it will record a loss from operations in 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the accumulated deficit was $32,385. The audit opinion prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
6
Continuation of the Company as a going concern may be dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.
Accounts Receivable and Revenue - Revenue is recognized at the time the Company delivers ships products to the customer. This is when the risk of loss transfers to our customers, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the sale is reasonably assured. A product is not shipped without an order from the customer and the completion of credit acceptance procedures. Sales terms include cash, credit card, terms of net 30 days or 50% down with 50% due upon delivery to our customers. Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically for collectability. The reserve for uncollectible accounts was $0 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Inventories - Inventories are recorded on an average cost basis. Inventory consists of raw materials, work in process and purchased finished goods and components held for resale. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The was no reserve for inventory as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Long Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, , accounts payables, accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable approximates their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Sales Returns - We allow customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in our sales terms and conditions. It is our practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, our estimates of sales returns, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. We record estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of goods sold, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount we expect to realize upon its subsequent disposition. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was no reserve for sales returns.
7
Warranty Costs – EZ Clone offers a limited lifetime replacement warranty to the original purchaser of its products.
Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, warranty costs were $8,027 and $6,274, respectively. There was no warranty reserve as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Concentration of Customer - A significant portion of the Company’s sales were made to two main customers, both of which are distributors. If either of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, the Company’s revenues could be negatively impacted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sales to these customers was 38% and 71%, respectively.
Concentration of Suppliers - A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are made from three suppliers. If any of these vendors were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to the Company's customers could be delayed, or the Company's customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased 55% and 63% of its inventory from three suppliers, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share - Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive.
Dividend Policy – As a Subchapter-S Corporation, the Company has paid distributions to its Stockholders. After the sale of 51% of the Company’s stock to GrowLife on October 10, 2018, the Company intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.
Use of Estimates - In preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in our consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of sales returns, inventory reserves and accruals for potential liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to derivative liability, equity instruments and share based compensation.
Income Taxes- The Company is a Subchapter-S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company being passed through to the shareholders. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company has been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any uncertain tax position taken by the shareholders is not an uncertain position of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” Topic 842, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. ASU 2016-02 also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply the transition provisions of ASU 2016-02 at its adoption date, rather than the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, as permitted by ASU 2018-11, “Leases,” Topic 842, “Targeted Improvements,” released in July 2018.
8
The adoption of ASU 2016-02 may result in a material increase to the Company’s balance sheets for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The Company is also performing a comprehensive review of its current processes to determine and implement changes required to support the adoption of this standard. The Company is currently evaluating the other effects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for the transfer of those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient for entities to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less, The Company plans to elect this practical expedient upon adoption.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date.” The FASB approved the deferral of ASU 2014-09, by extending the new revenue recognition standard’s mandatory effective date by one year and permitting public companies to apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.
Further to ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (ASU 2016-08) in March 2016, ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (ASU 2016-12) in May 2016 and ASU 2016-20, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (ASU 2016-20) in December 2016. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, including indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2016-12 addresses narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The Company plans to make such election. The Company also plans to elect the practical expedient in ASU 2016-20 that provides entities do not need to disclose the transaction price allocated to performance obligations when the related contracts have a duration of one year or less. This includes loyalty rewards, which can be redeemed in the month subsequent to the quarter earned, and marketing promotions that cross accounting periods. Both of these classes of transactions are currently immaterial to the Company. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are the same as for ASU 2014-09.
The Company does not plan to early adopt the new revenue recognition guidance; adoption will be on the modified retrospective basis beginning in fiscal year 2019. The Company has substantially concluded its assessment of the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Most of the Company’s revenue is expected to continue to be generated from point-of-sale transactions, which ASU 2014-09 treats generally consistent with current accounting standards. The Company does not expect this standard will have a material impact on the accounting for point-of-sale transactions or related areas including the right of return and customer incentives. Although the impact on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material, additional disclosures will be required.
