GENERATION ALPHA INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 20192020 AND 20182019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Generation Alpha, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

History and Organization

 

Generation Alpha, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 2, 2007 as Cinjet, Inc. (“Cinjet”). Effective September 1, 2015, Cinjet changed its corporate name to Solis Tek Inc. (“Solis Tek”). Effective September 25, 2018, the CompanySolis Tek changed its corporate name to Generation Alpha, Inc. Effective September 25, 2018, Generation Alpha, Inc. (f/k/a Solis Tek Inc.) (the “Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”) was merged into the Company (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased and the Company changed its name from Solis Tek to Generation Alpha, Inc.ceased. On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Solis Tek Inc., a California corporation (“STI”), and CJA Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into STI (the “Merger”), with STI surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with STI being deemed the accounting acquirer.

 

Overview of Business

 

The Company is a vertically integrated technology innovator, developer, manufacturer and distributor focused on bringingthe research, design, development and manufacturing of advanced, energy efficient indoor horticulture lighting, plant nutrient products, and solutions to commercial and retail cannabis growers in both the medical and adult use recreational space in legal markets across the U.S. The Company’s lighting and nutrient customers include retail stores, distributors and commercial growers in the United States and abroad.ancillary equipment.

 

COVID-19 Considerations

In the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material net impact on our operating results. In the future, the pandemic may cause reduced demand for our products if, for example, the pandemic results in a recessionary economic environment which negatively effects the consumers who purchase our products.

Our ability to operate without significant negative operational impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and our supply chain. The Company has endeavored to follow the recommended actions of government and health authorities to protect our employees. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we maintained the consistency of our operations during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the uncertainty resulting from the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our workforce and supply chain (for example an inability of a key supplier or transportation supplier to source and transport materials) that could negatively impact our operations.

Through June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has not negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity position as of such date. Through June 30, 2020, the Company continues to generate cash flows to meet its short-term liquidity needs, and it expects to maintain access to the capital markets. The Company has not observed any material impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,235,649$3,058,000 and used cash in operations of $717,355$111,000, and had a shareholders’ deficit of $5,404,912 as of$11,555,000 at June 30, 2019.2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 20182019 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

7

At June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $240,012.$447,000. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through September 2019.March 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for the Company’s stock holders,shareholders, in case orof equity financing.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: STI; Solis Tek East, Corporation (“STE”), an entity incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey, Zelda Horticulture, Inc. (“Zelda”), an entity incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and YLK Partners NV, LLC (“YLK”), Generation Alpha Brands, Inc., Trilogy Dispensaries, Inc., Extracting Point, LLC (“Extracting Point”), and GrowPro Solutions, Inc., all entities formed under the laws of Nevada. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Leases

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets of and, lease liabilities for operating leases of $659,347. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. As discussed in Note 6, the Company did not record a ROU asset and lease liability for the net present value of future lease obligations for the lease of real property in Arizona.

 

Loss per Share Calculations

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stock holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, options to acquire 5,995,800 shares of common stock, warrants to acquire 21,283,140 shares of common stock, and 187,773,607 shares to be issued upon conversion of our convertible notes have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, options to acquire 8,314,391 shares of common stock, warrants to acquire 12,783,140 shares of common stock, and 3,000,000 shares to be issued upon conversion of our convertible note have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, options to acquire 3,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 13,783,140 shares of common stock and shares potentially issuable under our convertible note agreements have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding at June 30, 2018, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.SU.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing our allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, estimates for potential losses on lease abandonments, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, valuing equity instruments issued for services, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates in one segment for the manufacture and distribution of its products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. This new standard provides authoritative guidance clarifying the principles for recognizing revenue and developing a common revenue standard for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in the exchange for those goods or services.

 

Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company reviews its sales transactions to identify contractual rights, performance obligations, and transaction prices, including the allocation of prices to separate performance obligations, if applicable. Revenue and costscost of sales are recognized once products are delivered to the customer’s control and performance obligations are satisfied.

10

 

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and consist of advanced energy efficient indoor horticulture lighting, plant nutrient products, and ancillary equipment. The products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

The Company does not offer a general right of return on any of its sales and considers all sales as final. The Company generally provides a three-year warranty on its ballasts. However, the Company does not maintain a warranty reserve as the Company is able to chargeback its vendors for all warranty claims. As of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company recorded reserves for returned product in the amounts of $52,149less than $1,000 and $143,947,$60,000, respectively, which reduced the accounts receivable balances as of those periods.

The write down amount is measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market based upon assumptions about future demand and charged to the provisionmajor product line for inventory, which is a component of cost of sales. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

Total $1,141,000  $279,000  $1,420,000 

 

Concentration Risks

 

The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. During the six month period ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018,Periodically, the Company had cash deposits that exceeded the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institution.

 

The Company operates in markets that are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes, shifting customer needs, the emergence of competitive products or services with new capabilities, and other factors could negatively impact the Company’s operating results. State and federal government laws could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future revenues and results of operations.

The Company’s products require specific components that currently are available from a limited number of sources. The Company purchases some of its key products and components from single vendors. During the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, its ballasts, lamps and reflectors, which comprised the clear majority of the Company’s purchases during those periods, were each only purchased from one and three separate vendor.vendors, respectively.

 

The Company performs a regular review of customer activity and associated credit risks and does not require collateral or other arrangements. NoOne customer accounted for 16% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and two2019.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities based on the exchange price in U.S. dollars that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value:

 

 Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 — Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

10

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and legal settlements payable, approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of notes payable approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities of $761,478$2,997,000 and $2,160,806$1,332,000 at June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, was valued using Level 32 inputs.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued bythe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had intangible assets of $1,301,591 that consisted of a license right. In June 2019, and based on management’s assessment, it was determined that the intangible asset was impaired, and an impairment charge was recorded for $1,138,892 during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2019 (see Note 4).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

RecentIn June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

OnIn May 10, 2018, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with the members, (the “Sellers”), which in the aggregate, owned 100% of the membership interests in YLK. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, in consideration of the Company acquiring all of the outstanding membership interests of YLK, the Company issued to the Sellers, a total of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 5,000,000 common shares, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Warrants are exercisable until May 9, 2023. The aggregate fair value of the Warrants issued as consideration for the acquisition was determined to be $5,450,000.

The Sellers were the following, who were determined to be related parties:

(a)LK Ventures, LLC a Nevada limited liability company. One-half of the membership interests of LK Ventures, LLC is owned by Alan Lien, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of the Company, and the remaining one-half is owned by a non-affiliated party. LK Ventures, LLC received 2,250,000 Warrants under the Acquisition Agreement for the 45% membership interests held in YLK;
(b)MDM Cultivation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The members of MDM Cultivation are affiliates of YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II PN”) and D-Beta One EQ, Ltd., which presently hold (i) 2,258,382 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) warrants to purchase 11,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and (iii) a secured promissory note issued by the Company with an outstanding principal amount of $1.5 million. In addition, YA II PN and the Company are parties to that SEDA, pursuant to which YA II PN has agreed to purchase up to $25.0 million of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. MDM Cultivation owned 45% of the outstanding membership interests of YLK. MDM Cultivation was issued 2,250,000 Warrants under the Acquisition Agreement. As affiliates of MDM Cultivation, YA II PN and D-Beta One EQ, Ltd. will be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the 2,250,000 Warrants in addition to the other shares and warrants presently held by them; and
(c)Future Farm Technologies Inc. of Vancouver British Columbia, Canada (“Future Farm Technologies”). Future Farm Technologies was issued 500,000 Warrants under the Acquisition Agreement for the 10% membership interests held in YLK.

The major asset of YLK is a Cultivation Management Services Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with an Arizona licensee (the “Arizona Licensee”) that was entered into on January 5, 2018. No operating activity existed prior to the acquisition. The Arizona Licensee is authorized to operate a medical marijuana dispensary, one (1) onsite facility and one (1) offsite facility, to produce, sell and dispense medical marijuana and manufactured and derivative products that contain marijuana pursuant to Title 9; Chapter 17 of the Arizona Department of Health Services (“AZDHS”) Medical Marijuana Program and Arizona Revised Statute § 36-2801 et seq., as amended from time to time. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, YLK will provide the management services for the offsite facility, on behalf of the Arizona Licensee. The assets acquired also included a $250,000 receivable from Future Farm Technologies.

13

As consideration for the exclusive right of YLK to manage the Arizona Licensee’s facility pursuant to the Management Agreement; (i) YLK paid $750,000 to the Arizona Licensee; (ii) YLK agreed to pay an additional $250,000 within 10 days after receipt of the AZDHS approval to operate the facility; and (iii) YLK agreed to pay a total of $600,000, payable in 44 equal monthly installments commencing on April 1, 2019 (the “Installment Payments”). The term of the Management Agreement is five years. YLK has the option to extend the term for an additional five years with the payment of $1,000,000 at the commencement of the additional term and a total of $1,000,000 payable in equal monthly installments over the extended term of the Management Agreement. Before the acquisition, the Sellers paid $750,000 per the terms of the Management Agreement.

Through the acquisition, the Sellers’ rights and obligations under the CMSA transferred to the Company, including the payment of an additional $250,000 within 10 days after receipt of the AZDHS approval to operate the facility; and the Installment Payments. As the Installment Payments totaling $600,000 are noninterest bearing, the Company calculated the net present value of the Installment Payments to be $518,523 (or a discount of $81,477) based on an 8% cost of capital (which is consistent with borrowing rate of the Company’s other notes). The Company recorded the aggregate present value of these payments of $518,523 as part of the acquisition cost of the Management Agreement, which will be amortized over five years, the length of the Management Agreement. Amortization expense for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $81,349 and $162,699, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $81,349 and $81,349, respectively.

Since the assets, including a $250,000 balance due from Future Farm Technologies, was acquired from related parties, the assets were recorded at their historical acquisition cost of $1,000,000. The Company issued 5,000,000 Warrants to the Sellers with an exercise price of $0.01 and an expiration date of May 9, 2023. Based on a Black-Sholes Merton model, the Warrants were valued at $5,450,000. Since the assets acquired were acquired from related parties, the difference of $4,450,000 between the fair value of the Warrants granted of $5,450,000 and the historical acquisition cost of $1,000,000 was recorded as related party compensation cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The $250,000 receivable was received by the Company duringDuring the year ended December 31, 2018.

In June 2019, the Company determined that its intangiblethe acquired assets were fully impaired, after assessing the impact of the Company’s current lack of liquidity, the recent lease abandonment of its planned Arizona cultivation facility (Note 6), and the recent Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Release and Settlement Agreement with its Lender of a facility in Arizona (Note 9). The Company based on its assessment, recorded an impairment charge accordingly. The Company has a continuing obligation under the Management Agreement of $1,138,892 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 109 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The conversion prices and the exercise prices of the warrants described in Note 78 were not a fixed amount because they were either subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events or they were variable. Since the number of shares is not explicitly limited, the Company is unable to conclude that enough authorized and unissued shares are available to settle the conversion option. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

 

As of June 30, 2019,2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the derivative liabilities were valued using a Black ScholesBlack-Scholes Merton pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining term of the notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors currently known to Management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.

 

Business Overview

 

We are focused on (i) acquiring facilities and licenses in states that permit medical cannabis, in order to operate cannabis cultivation and processing facilities, and (ii) the research, design, development and manufacturing of advanced, energy efficient indoor horticulture lighting, plant nutrient products, and ancillary equipment. Our vision is to apply the latest advances in high efficiency lighting and controls technology as well as effective manufacturing techniques to deliver highly differentiated lighting and nutrient products with clear benefits at competitive prices to the greenhouse and indoor horticulture markets.

In 2018, we acquired YLK Partners to provide turn-key services to other companies in the cannabis industry, whereby we handle the management, administration, and operation of a medical marijuana cultivation and processing facility. The Arizona Licensee is authorized to operate a medical marijuana dispensary, one (1) onsite facility and one (1) offsite facility, to produce, sell and dispense medical marijuana and manufactured and derivative products that contain marijuana pursuant to Title 9; Chapter 17 of the AZDHS, Medical Marijuana Program and Arizona Revised Statute § 36-2801 et seq., as amended from time to time. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, YLK will provide the management services for the offsite facility, on behalf of the Arizona Licensee.

 

Our subsidiary, Solis Tek, Inc., a California corporation, was formed in June of 2010. Its operations consist of designing, developing and sourcing of a line of Solis Tek Digital Ballasts intended for use in high intensity lighting systems used for horticulture. An electrical ballast is a device intended to limit the amount of current in an electric circuit. A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps, which limits the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to destructive levels due to the tube’s negative resistance characteristic. Since the commencement of operations, our product line has evolved from digital ballasts to a line of lighting products including a line of specialty ballasts ranging from 400 watts to 1,000 watts with various features, our Lamp Products,lamp products, a line of reflectors, high intensity lighting accessories and a new line of LED lighting technologies.

 

Previously, we attempted to expand our operations in cannabis cultivation and processing management services. In 2018, we acquired YLK Partners AZ, LLC, or YLK Partners, an Arizona-based company to provide turn-key services for the management, administration, and operation of a medical marijuana cultivation and processing facility. YLK had a cultivation management services agreement with an Arizona licensee. In 2019, we purchased real property in Phoenix, Arizona for $3,500,000, which property held the approval and authorization for a Conditional Use Permit, which allows the property to be used for the operation of a cultivation and infusion facility, allowing for the cultivation, harvesting, preparation, packaging and storing of medical cannabis, as well as extraction, refinement, infusion, production, preparation, packaging, and storage of manufactured and derivative oils, waxes, concentrates, edible and non-edible products that contain cannabis. Later in 2019, we conveyed the property to our lender in full settlement of the outstanding amounts we borrowed to acquire the property. For various reasons, we decided to abandon the expanded business lines and to re-focus on our core business of lights and nutrients.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The responses by federal, state and local governments to restrict public gatherings and travel rapidly grew to include stay-at-home orders, school closures and mandatory restrictions on non-essential businesses and services that has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets resulting in a significant economic downturn. In particular, on March 19, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order requiring all California residents to stay home, making it the first state to impose that strict mandate on all residents to counteract a looming surge of new infections. The Company’s executive offices are located in Upland, California. While we currently believe we are an “essential” business, we have been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our employees, including temporary closures of our offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible. The order, which has subsequently been modified to provide for a gradual re-opening of businesses and travel, is to remain in place until further notice. While California is currently in early stage 2 (out of 4 stages) of re-opening, there is no known timeframe as to when California may move to stage 3, and there remains a risk that California may regress.

While this disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration. We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact in the markets we serve. We are taking all precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local and national governments. Due to continuing uncertainties regarding the ultimate scope and trajectory of COVID-19’s spread and evolution, it is impossible to predict the total impact that the pandemic will have on our business. If public and private entities continue to implement restrictive measures, the material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could persist.

On May 7, 2020, we were granted a loan (the “PPP loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank in the aggregate amount of $205,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act. The PPP loan agreement is dated May 8, 2020, matures on May 7, 2022, bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan term may be extended to May 7, 2025, if mutually agreed to by us and lender. We applied ASC 470, Debt, to account for the PPP loan. The PPP loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP loan may only be used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, including qualifying payroll costs, qualifying group health care benefits, qualifying rent and debt obligations, and qualifying utilities. We intend to use the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses. We intend to apply for forgiveness of the PPP loan with respect to these qualifying expenses, however, we cannot assure that such forgiveness of any portion of the PPP loan will occur. As for the potential loan forgiveness, once the PPP loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and a legal release is received, the liability would be reduced by the amount forgiven and a gain on extinguishment would be recorded. The terms of the PPP loan provide for customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. We were in compliance with the terms of the PPP loan as of June 30, 2020.

On June 7, 2020, we obtained an Economic Injury Disaster Loan from the United States Small Business Administration in the amount of $150,000. Interest on the loan is at the rate of 3.75% per year, and all loan payments are deferred for twelve months, at which time the balance is payable in monthly installments of $731 over a 30-year term. The loan is secured by all of our assets.

We continue to review and consider any available potential benefit under the CARES Act for which we qualify. We cannot predict the manner in which such benefits or any of the other benefits described herein will be allocated or administered and we cannot assure you that we will be able to access such benefits in a timely manner or at all. If the U.S. government or any other governmental authority agrees to provide such aid under the CARES Act or any other crisis relief assistance it may impose certain requirements on the recipients of the aid, including restrictions on executive officer compensation, dividends, prepayment of debt, limitations on debt and other similar restrictions that will apply for a period of time after the aid is repaid or redeemed in full.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated cash from financing activities of $288,236 compared to cash generated by financing activities of $3,988,530 for$454,000 and $288,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018.2020, we received proceeds of $125,000, net of fees of $25,000, from a secured convertible note payable, $355,000 from loans payable, offset by $26,000 of payments on our notes payable to related parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received $150,000 from the issuance of a note payable to related party, we received $150,000 from a loan, and we made payments on our loans payable totaling $11,764. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we raised $1,568,000 from the sale of common stock, received proceeds of $1,500,000 from a secured note payable, raised $1,436,996 from the exercise of warrants, made payments of $505,000 on our notes payable to related parties, and made payments on loans payable and capital lease obligation totaling $11,466.$12,000.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, we incurred an operatinga net loss of $2,235,649,$3,058,000 and used cash in operations of $717,355$111,000 and had a stockholders’shareholders’ deficit of $5,404,912 as of$11,555,000 at June 30, 2019.2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2019 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2622

 

At June 30, 2019,2020, we had cash on hand in the amount of $240,012.$447,000. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through September 30, 2019.March 2021. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until we begin generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders,shareholders, in case orof equity financing.

Lease Abandonment

As discussed in Notes 6Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of common stock, a line of credit, loans from a third party financial institutions, related parties, and 12operations. We anticipate that our primary capital source will be from the issuance of notes payable or the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements,proceeds from the sale of our common stock. However, we provided MSCP, L.L.C (“MSCP”) a notice of termination, and on February 15, 2019, MSCP filed suitmay not generate sufficient revenues from product sales in the Superior Court of Arizona, County of Maricopa, Case No. CV2019-001613 against us and YLK. We recently filed counterclaims against MSCP for fraudfuture to achieve profitable operations. If we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, rescission of contract, unjust enrichment and punitive damages. Wefuture, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to vigorously defend this action. At the date of notice of termination,conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we had a remaining lease obligation of approximately $6,000,000. Duewill be able to our counterclaims, we are unable to determine and did not record, an estimate of liabilityobtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at June 30, 2019.

No amounts have been provided in the financial statements for the ROU asset and related lease liability. Further, no liability has been provided for any damages arising from the early termination of the lease, as such amounts, if any, are not practicably determinable.all.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

 

Inventories

 

We provide inventory reserves based on excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. The write down amount is measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market based upon assumptions about future demand and charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of cost of sales. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for management’s discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officerwe concluded that, as of the date of this report, our remediation efforts continue related to each of the material weaknesses that we have identified in our internal control over financial reporting, and additional time and resources will be required in order to fully address these material weaknesses. We have not been able to complete all actions necessary and test the remediated controls in a manner that would enable us to conclude that such controls are effective. We are committed to implementing the necessary controls to remediate the material weaknesses described below as our resources permit. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until (1) the new processes are designed, appropriately controlled and implemented for a sufficient period of time and (2) we have sufficient evidence that the new processes and related controls are operating effectively. The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified by management as of June 30, 2019, our2020:

Ineffective Control Environment. The Company did not maintain an effective control environment, which is the foundation necessary for effective internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company (i) did not maintain a functioning independent audit committee; (ii) did not have its Board of Directors review and approve significant transactions; (iii) had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities; (iv) had an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure controlsrequirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements; (v) had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (vi) lack of written documentation of the Company’s key internal control policies and procedures are designed atover financial reporting. The Company is required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to have written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting. The Company did not formally document policies and controls to enable management and other personnel to understand and carry out their internal control responsibilities including the lack of closing checklists, budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, and pro-forma financial statements. Additionally, the Company did not have an adequate process in place to complete its testing and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in a reasonable assurance leveltimely manner;

Ineffective controls over financial statement close and arereporting process. The Company did not maintain effective tocontrols over its financial statement close and reporting process. Specifically, the Company: (i) had insufficient preparation and review procedures for disclosures accompanying the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) did not provide reasonable assurance that information we are requiredaccounts were complete and accurate and agreed to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms,detailed support and that such information is accumulatedreconciliations of accounts were properly performed, reviewed and communicatedapproved; and

Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we had limited personnel that performed nearly all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. Due to the fact that these duties were often performed by the same person, this creates a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our management, including our chief executive officer and chiefinterim or annual financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
