Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Two Rivers along with its farming, water and greenhouse operations. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under guidance in ASC 810-10-05-8 “Consolidation of VIEs” (Variable Interest Entities) the Company’s management has determined that GrowCo and its related entities, GCP1, GCP Super Units, GCP2, should no longer be consolidated for financial statement purposes. The Company now reports its ownership position under the equity method of accounting. Before the three months ended June 30, 2018, GrowCo and its related entities were consolidated. Deconsolidation of GrowCo, Inc. Even though the Company no longer consolidates GrowCo and GrowCo’s related entities into the Company’s financials, Management has determined that the Company is a guarantor of GrowCo’s $4M Secured Notes. The Company did not sign these notes as a guarantor but has provided collateral owned by the Company with a recent appraised value of $2,359,000. GCP1 managers have been in contact with Blue Green, the holder of $2,115,000 of the notes to discuss an arrangement whereby GCP1 might use leasing cash flow to pay the secured note holders. No agreement has been reached, but there have been discussions on a general structure that 50% of lease revenue (after direct costs) might be used to pay interest and retire the principal of these notes. Since Two Rivers’ Management desires to present a conservative representation of its financial information it has determined to set the probability of collection against its collateral at 100% of the recent appraised value. The Company has recorded a contingent liability of $2,359,000 and offset this amount as an increase in the Company’s investment in GCP1 (ASC 460-10-55-23c). Additionally, US GAAP (ASC 810-10-40) provides guidance on “Derecognition” of a previously consolidated entity or entities. Under this guidance, Two Rivers shall account for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A by recognizing a gain or loss in net income attributable to the parent, measured as the difference between: a. The aggregate of all of the following: 1. The fair value of any consideration received. In Two Rivers case, no consideration was received. 2. The fair value of any retained noncontrolling investment in the former subsidiary or group of assets at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated, or the group of assets is derecognized. In Two Rivers case, there were no retained noncontrolling investments in GrowCo or its related entities. 3. The carrying amount of any noncontrolling interest in the former subsidiary (including any accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest) at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In Two Rivers case, the total amount of the noncontrolling interest to derecognized is as follows as of April 1, 2018: Entity April 1, 2018 GrowCo (1,230,000 ) GrowCo Partners 1, LLC 3,621,000 GCP Super Units, LLC 5,016,000 TR Cap 20150630 Distribution, LLC 497,000 TR Cap 20150930 Distribution, LLC 460,000 TR Cap 20151231 Distribution, LLC 495,000 Total $ 8,859,000 b. The carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s assets and liabilities or the carrying amount of the group of assets. With the above guidance the Company determined that the effect of the deconsolidation of GrowCo produced a gain of $12,773,000 which is a non cash adjustment. This amount consists of elimination of the noncontrolling interest in GrowCo of $8,859,000 and $3,914,000 from the removal of GrowCo’s assets and liabilities. The $3,914,000 represented the amount of GrowCo liabilities over GrowCo’s assets. Investment in GrowCo Partners 1, LLC (GCP1) Due to the deconsolidation of GrowCo and its related entities, which include GCP1, the Company’s investment in GCP1 is now accounted for under the equity method. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 210 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2018. Non-controlling Interest Below is the detail of non-controlling interest shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Entity Sept 30 2018 Dec 31 2017 TR Capital $ 20,482,000 $ 20,482,000 HCIC 1,386,000 1,388,000 F-1 29,000 29,000 F-2 162,000 162,000 DFP 452,000 452,000 GrowCo - (850,000 ) GrowCo Partners 1, LLC - 3,621,000 GCP Super Units, LLC - 5,016,000 TR Cap 20150630 Distribution, LLC - 497,000 TR Cap 20150930 Distribution, LLC - 460,000 TR Cap 20151231 Distribution, LLC - 495,000 Total $ 22,511,000 $ 31,752,000 In 2015, $152,000 of TR Capital Preferred Membership units were exchanged, pursuant to a pre-existing exchange agreement, for Two Rivers’ common shares and $60,000 of Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc. (“F-2”) membership units converted into Two Rivers’ common shares. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Since GrowCo management did not provide its financial information, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company estimated its share of the GrowCo loss as accounted for under the equity method. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, Two Rivers considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset, which ranges from three to twenty-seven and a half years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income. Below is a summary of property and equipment: Asset Type Life in Years Sept 30, 2018 Dec 31, 2017 Office equipment, furniture 5 – 7 $ 12,000 $ 12,000 Computers 3 46,000 46,000 Vehicles 5 25,000 92,000 Farm equipment 7 – 10 147,000 244,000 Buildings 27.5 10,000 10,000 Website 3 7,000 7,000 Subtotal 247,000 411,000 Less: Accumulated depreciation (222,000 ) (251,000 ) Net book value $ 25,000 $ 160,000 Land Land acquired for farming or water rights is recorded at cost. Expenditures for leveling the land are added to the cost of the land. Irrigation is not capitalized in the cost of Land ( Property and Equipment Water Rights and Infrastructure Management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets including water rights and infrastructure, and if the carrying value is in excess of fair market value, the Company will establish an impairment allowance. Currently, there is a $6,930,000 impairment reserve on the Company’s land and water shares. No amortization or depreciation is taken on the water rights. Intangibles Two Rivers recognizes the estimated fair value of water rights acquired by the Company’s purchase of stock in Huerfano Cucharas Irrigation Company (“HCIC”) and Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC (“Orlando”). These intangible assets will not be amortized because they have an indefinite remaining useful life based on many factors and considerations, including the historical upward valuation of water rights within Colorado. Revenue Recognition Member Assessments Once per year the HCIC board estimates HCIC’s expenses, less anticipated water revenues, and establishes an annual assessment per ownership share. One-half of the member assessment is recorded in the first quarter of the calendar year and the other one-half of the member assessment is recorded in the third quarter of the calendar year. Assessments paid by Two Rivers Water Company to HCIC are eliminated in consolidation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The assessments that are not eliminated are included in Other revenue. HCIC does not reserve against any unpaid assessments. Assessments due, but unpaid, are secured by the member’s ownership of HCIC. The value of this ownership is significantly greater than the annual assessments. Stock Based Compensation Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this standard, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of ASC 718 apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified. Dam Demolition Expense During the three months ended September 30, 2018 a court date has been set for a hearing of the State of Colorado’s legal action to compel the Company to demolish Cucharas #5 reservoir. A contingent liability, with an offsetting expense of $1,800,000 has been recognized. Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributed to Two Rivers available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the outstanding 2,425,000 options, and 17,536,958 warrants at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, have an exercise price in excess of the Company’s closing price of $0.23/share as of September 28, 2018; therefore these shares have not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share since, under ASC 260 they would anti-dilutive. If all convertible debt is converted into the Company’s common shares, there would be an additional 3,630,290 shares issued, using the Company’s closing price of $0.23/share as of September 28, 2018. Therefore, these additional shares are added to the basic shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
