GROWLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three-Months Ended March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

GrowLife is a holding company with multiple operating businesses that manufacture and supply branded equipment and expendables in the USA for urban gardening, inclusive of equipment and expendables for growing of medical marijuana. Wholly owned GrowLife companies include SGT, Growlife Hydroponics, Urban Garden, Phototron, and Greners. In addition to promotion and sales of GrowLife owned brands, GrowLife companies distribute and sell over 3,000 products (including the Stealth Grow line of LED lighting products and SG Sensors automated lighting and growing equipment) through on-line distribution channels, Greners, our on-line superstore, and through retail sales of the Company’s initial retail storefront business, Urban Garden. GrowLife’s website, www.cannabis.org is expected to provide GrowLife with another widely recognized and authoritative channel for branded product promotion and sales. GrowLife and its business units are organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.

 

GrowLife is actively engaged in improving and expanding its line of branded products through organic development, business alliances and acquisition. Consistent with this strategy, GrowLife has announced its commitment to a full scale launch of SG Sensors’ commercial MEDIGROW chamber business and is actively engaged in developing other business alliances and evaluating branded products for acquisition. GrowLife is also actively engaged in building upon its direct to customers sales business by expansion and promotion of Greners.com, StealthGrow.com, Phototron.com and other unique online channels of distribution. Finally, GrowLife is actively engaged in pursuing acquisitions that will allow its GrowLife Hydroponics retail sales division business to expand regionally in the United States.

 

On February 14, 2011, GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.) (“GrowLife”, the “Company”, “we,” “us,” “our”, “our company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“PHI Merger Agreement”) with PHI Merger Corporation, a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“PHI MergerCo”), and Phototron, Inc., a California corporation (“Phototron”). The closing (the “PHI Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the PHI Merger Agreement (the “PHI Merger”) occurred on March 9, 2011. At the PHI Closing, (a) PHI MergerCo was merged with and into Phototron; (b) Phototron became our wholly-owned subsidiary; (c) all of Phototron’s shares and options outstanding prior to the PHI Merger were exchanged (or assumed, in the case of options) for comparable securities of our company; and (d) 95% of our fully-diluted shares were owned by Phototron’s former shareholders and option holders. At the PHI Closing, we issued a total of 130,621,421 shares of our common stock to Phototron’s former shareholders, in exchange for the 1,666,666 shares of Phototron’s common stock outstanding prior to the PHI Merger. Upon the effectiveness of the PHI Merger, 8,662,262 shares of our common stock were maintained by our existing stockholders. In connection with the PHI Merger, we changed our name from Catalyst Lighting Group, Inc. to Phototron Holdings, Inc., on March 9, 2011.

 

Since former holders of Phototron’s common stock and options to purchase common stock owned, after the PHI Merger, approximately 95% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management were members of Phototron’s management, Phototron was deemed to be the acquiring company and we were deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the PHI Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP).

On March 21, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SGT Merger Corporation, a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”), SG Technologies Corp, a Nevada corporation (“SGT”), Sterling C. Scott (the “SGT Representative”), and W-Net Fund I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and current holder of our common stock (the “Investor Representative”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of a new series of our preferred stock, which was designated Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and has the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock, which was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, we issued to SGT’s former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Since after the Merger former holders of SGT’s common stock owned in excess of 50% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management are members of SGT’s management, SGT is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiaries reflect the historical activity of SGT, and the historical stockholders’ equity of SGT has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to the differences in par value offset to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we are deemed to have issued an additional 152,343,383 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger. Net liabilities of $542,716 have been capitalized as part of the purchase price.

 

On July 23, 2012, we completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets (the “Assets”) of Donna Klauenburch and Tao Klauenburch, general partners doing business as Greners.com (collectively, “Greners”), related to the online retail business currently operated by Greners, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 23, 2012 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The Assets included equipment, finished goods, materials and supplies, contract rights, trademarks, domain names and implemented and operational components of software. In addition, the Company assumed certain of Greners’ liabilities which included Greners’ liabilities and obligations under its contracts and all express and implied warranties related to any materials supplied by Greners prior to the closing date.

 

In consideration for the Assets, the Company agreed to pay to Greners an aggregate of $450,000. Of the purchase price, $250,000 was paid in cash on the closing date and the remaining portion of the purchase price was paid in the form of a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to Greners in the original principal amount of $200,000.

 

On August 6, 2012, Phototron Holdings, Inc. merged GrowLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Phototron Holdings, Inc., with and into Phototron Holdings, Inc. pursuant to the Certificate of Ownership and Merger filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 25, 2012 and effective August 6, 2012. As a result of the merger, on August 6, 2012, Phototron Holdings, Inc.’s corporate named changed from Phototron Holdings, Inc. to GrowLife, Inc.

-7-
 

 

On October 22, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary GrowLife Hydroponics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GH”), completed the purchase of all of the shares (the “UG Shares”) of Soja, Inc. dba Urban Garden Supplies (the “Urban Garden”) from Richard Melograno, Michael Cook, and Scott Glass (collectively, the “UG Sellers”). The effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement was October 24, 2012 (“UG Agreement”). The UG Agreement included all of the assets and liabilities of Urban Garden which includes the inventory of the store located at 22516 Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills, CA 91364 and various other assets. GH also assumed the liabilities of Urban Garden which were valued at $70,370. GrowLife’s CEO Sterling Scott personally guaranteed this liability. In consideration for the UG Shares, GrowLife agreed to pay to the UG Sellers an aggregate of 3,906,252 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $156,250.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representation of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All references to GAAP are in accordance with The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,182,962, cash used in operations was $318,214, and had stockholders’ equity of $172,341. The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception, and has financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the recurring issuance of notes payable and advances from a related party. These facts indicate that the Company substantial doubt of the Company’s continuation as a going concern.

 

Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company does not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company needs to raise additional funds in order to satisfy its future working capital requirements, which it may not achieve on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Continued negative cash flows and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, as a result of which the Company may have to reduce the scope of its planned operations. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations.

 

Interim Results

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which our management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of our operation results in future periods.

-8-
 

 

Reverse Merger Accounting

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. SGT was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of SGT and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and SGT, historical operations of SGT and operations of the Company from the closing date of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. In conjunction with the Merger, SGT received no cash and assumed no liabilities from the Company. All members of the Company’s executive management are from SGT.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these unaudited condensed 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 equity instruments and share based payments.

 

Revenue

 

Revenue is recognized on the sale of a product when the product is shipped, which is when the risk of loss transfers to our customers, 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. The majority of our sales are cash or credit card; however, we occasionally extend terms to our customers. Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically for collectability.

 

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 sales, 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was no reserve for sales returns, which are minimal based upon our historical experience.

 

Warranty Costs

 

Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Estimates are based, in part, on historical experience. During the year ended December 31, 2012 we negotiated a $46,000 credit with one of our vendors for future expected warranty repairs to defective units. This amount will be used to offset expected repairs in future periods. As of March 31, 2013, the Company still had the entire $46,000 credit available.

-9-
 

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, shipping and handling fees billed to customers totaled $60,116 and $1,150, respectively, and were included in revenue.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $54,698 and $13,121, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Fair Value of 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, due to related party, notes payable, and 6% senior secured convertible notes approximates their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Derivative financial instruments 

 

The Company evaluates all of 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. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. 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. As of March 31 2013, the Company did not have a derivative liability.

-10-
 

 

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.

 

As of March 31, 2013, there were 2,351,187 and 200,087,714 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and conversion of notes, respectively, for a total of 202,438,901 dilutive securities which are considered anti-dilutive and are not included in diluted loss per share.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, whereas the award is measured at its fair value at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity”, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are recorded on a first in first out basis. Inventory consists of purchased finished goods and components held for resale. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The reserve for inventory was $27,843 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets acquired held under capital leases are initially recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments discounted at the implicit interest rate (35% for assets currently held under capital lease) or the fair value of the asset. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Assets acquired under capital lease are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the lease term. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill.

 

We make critical assumptions and estimates in completing impairment assessments of goodwill and other intangible assets. Our cash flow projections look several years into the future and include assumptions on variables such as future sales and operating margin growth rates, economic conditions, market competition, inflation and discount rates. A 10% decrease in the estimated discounted cash flows for the reporting units tested would result in an impairment that is not material to our results of operations. A 1.0 percentage point increase in the discount rate used would also result in an impairment that is not material to our results of operations.

 

We amortize the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to ten years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested in the third quarter of each fiscal year for impairment, or more often if indicators warrant.

 

We recorded $27,249, and zero, of impairment charges related to other intangible assets for the three months ending March 31, 2013 and March 2012, respectively.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have adopted the ASU as required. The ASU affects our fair value disclosures, but will not affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the ASU as required. It has no affect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. We adopted the ASU as required. It has no affect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

-11-
 

 

 

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02 Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, on July 27, 2012, to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. We have adopted the ASU as required. The ASU affects our fair value disclosures, but will not affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION - SGT

 

On March 21, 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement. The Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. At the Closing, we issued to SGT’s former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Since after the Merger former holders of SGT’s common stock owned in excess of 50% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management are members of SGT’s management, SGT is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GrowLife and its subsidiaries reflect the historical activity of SGT, and the historical stockholders’ equity of SGT has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to the differences in par value offset to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we are deemed to have issued an additional 152,343,383 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger.

 

The Company has estimated that the fair value of the 152,343,383 common shares issued to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger to be $300,000; the purchase price has been allocated to specific identifiable tangible and intangible assets at their fair value at the date of the purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, as follows:

 

Tangible assets  $248,494 
Intangible assets   225,000 
Goodwill   634,128 
Total   1,107,622 
Less fair value of liabilities assumed   (807,622)
Purchase price  $300,000 

 

The intangible assets relate to customer lists and will be amortized over their respective life of three years.

 

On December 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment of goodwill of $634,128.

Includes interest accrued and owed for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

 

The $156,000 paid to Greners represents payment in full of the note payable that the Company issued in July 2012 in relation to its acquisition of Greners.com (see “NOTE 4 – ASSET PURCHASE – GRENERS.COM”). The $24,865 paid to Mr. Sagheb, a former Phototron officer, is payment in full for a loan that he made to the Company. The payment of $15,643 to W-Net Fund I, LP represents payment of the outstanding principal on a $150,000 revolving credit line.

NOTE 11 – 6% SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On September 28, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment and exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with W-Net, Europa International, Inc., Sterling Scott, Robert Shapiro, Lauri Bilawa, Carla Badaracco and Forglen, LLC (the “Investors”). The Exchange Agreement provided for the issuance of new 6% Senior Convertible Notes (the “6% Notes”) that replaced the 6% Senior Convertible Notes that were previously issued during 2012. The 6% Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum and have a maturity date of April 15, 2015. No cash payments are required; however, accrued interest shall be due at maturity. In the event of a default the Investors may declare the entire principal and accrued interest to be due and payable. Default interest will accrue at the rate of 12% per annum. The 6% Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

The 6% Notes are convertible into common stock at the rate of $0.007 per share. The Company has determined that the conversion feature is considered a beneficial conversion feature and determined its value to be $785,459 as of December 31, 2012, which the Company recorded as a debt discount to the 6% Notes. As of December 31, 2012 the Company owed principal of $1,795,077 and accrued interest of $68,022 on these 6% Notes.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not borrow any additional principal related to these notes. In fact, the Company’s outstanding principal balance decreased by $483,500 due to certain holders of these 6% Notes converting some, and in the case of one note holder, all of their outstanding principal into shares of the Company’s common stock. The following summarizes the first quarter 2013 transactions related to the Company’s 6% Notes:

 

6% Notes – principal & interest  $1,863,099 
Debt discount related to conversion feature   (785,459)
     Balance as of December 31, 2012   1,077,640 
      
Principal converted into common stock during Q1 2013   (483,500)
Accrued interest converted into common stock during Q1 2013   (1,775)
Accrued and unpaid interest - Q1 2013   22,790 
Debt discount amortized as interest expense   (339,038)
      
6% Notes – principal & interest   1,400,614 
Debt discount related to conversion feature   (446,421)
     Balance as of March  31, 2013  $954,193 

 

As previously stated, the Company has determined that the conversion feature on the 6% Notes is a beneficial conversion feature, and the Company determined that the value of the beneficial conversion feature had decreased to $446,421 as of March 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of $339,038 to reflect the change in the value of the debt discount as of March 31, 2013.

 

The following is a summary of the 6% Notes that were converted into 69,325,048 shares of the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013:

 

   Amount Converted  Shares Received
W-Net Fund I, LP  $353,500    50,500,000 
Europa International, Inc   70,000    10,000,000 
Forglen, LLC   51,775    7,396,477

NOTE 12 – 10% SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

On January 8, 2013, the Company issued a 10% convertible note (the “10% Convertible Note) to Black Mountain Equities, Inc. The rate of interest on the convertible note is 10%, and Black Mountain Equities, at its sole discretion, can convert both the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price was the lesser of (a) $0.04 per share or (b) 70% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily volume weighted average closing prices occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date on which Black Mountain elects to convert all or part of the note.

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, Black Mountain Equities converted all of the principal and accrued interest into 6,270,413 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature was considered a beneficial conversion feature and determined its value on the date of conversion to be $156,000. Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature has been accounted for as a valuation discount to the 10% Convertible Note and was fully amortized as of March 31, 2013 via effective interest method, with the Company recording $156,000 non-cash interest expense and $2,750 non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement that provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in the pronouncement on accounting for derivatives. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or “down-round” provisions). For example, warrants or conversion features with such provisions are no longer recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.

 

During fiscal year 2012, which ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued the 6% Notes and the Company determined that the conversion feature in these 6% Notes created a derivative liability. The derivative liability was initially valued using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which approximates the Monte Carlo and other binomial valuation techniques, with the following assumptions; (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 74%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.04% and (iv) expected term of 3.08 years. Based upon this model, the Company determined an initial value of $592,326. On December 31, 2012, the Company determined there was no longer a derivative liability related to these 6% Notes and fully expensed the value of the initial derivative liability as of December 31, 2012.

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued the 10% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $156,000. As of March 31, 2013 the entire balance of the convertible note had been converted into 6,270,413 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature was considered a beneficial conversion feature and determined its value on the date of conversion to be $156,000. Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature has been accounted for as a valuation discount to the 10% Convertible Note and was fully amortized as of March 31, 2013 via effective interest method, with the Company recording $156,000 non-cash interest expense and $2,750 non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company had no derivative liability with regard to this note as of March 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, the Company evaluated the conversion feature of the 10% Convertible Notes and determined that there was a derivative liability. The derivative liability was initially valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions; (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 309%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.11% and (iv) expected term of 0.5 years. Based upon this model, the Company determined an initial value of $158,745. The Company fully expensed as of March 31, 2013 as a $169,753 non-cash charge to change in fair value of derivative liability. On March 31, 2013, the Company determined there was no longer a derivative liability related to this 10% Convertible Notes.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Company did not have a derivative liability.

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

 

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows for the months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2013, captioned “Risk Factors.”

 

Overview

 

General

 

GrowLife companies manufacture and supply branded equipment and expendables that promote and enhance the characteristics of quality and quantity of indoor and outdoor urban gardening. We believe that the acquisition of online retailer Greners is particularly noteworthy because it provides us with control of a recognized distribution channel for the industry. GrowLife also controls premier industry portal www.cannabis.org, which we believe will serve as another widely recognized and authoritative social channel for branded product promotion, sales and information as and to the extent the regulatory landscape changes. To complement brand awareness and to drive product sales, during 2012, we also launched company business units that are active in industry events, media and consulting services for the urban gardening industry.

We have focused on the urban gardening industry in the United States and have targeted such industry with products not subject to illegal substance regulatory regimes. GrowLife and its business units are organized and aim to operate in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. Accordingly, if and to the extent that state and federal laws permit the nationwide legal use of marijuana and/or medical marijuana, we expect to commercialize our products in that market.

 

Our revenue from net sales has steadily increased quarter over quarter throughout 2012. For the first quarter of 2013 revenue increased $86,089, or 12.8%, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Compared against Q1 2012, revenue increased $668,900, which we believe is a result of our product expansion, business alliances and strategic acquisitions.

 

Expansion and growth are our driving themes for GrowLife in 2013. GrowLife is actively engaged in improving and expanding its lineup of branded products through organic development, business alliances and acquisition. SGSensors.com, and its wireless automation products for grow rooms is a prominent example of our product development and brand extension. SG Sensors products are expected to be available for commercial sale in the summer of 2013. GrowLife is also actively engaged in building upon its direct to customers sales business by expansion and promotion of Phototron products to a wider consumer market. Finally, GrowLife remains actively engaged in exploring strategic acquisitions that will allow expansion of the company in the United States.

 

Through its wholly owned subsidiaries and divisions, GrowLife is positioning for rapid expansion of the scope of its business operations in the event of a substantive relaxation of state and federal laws related to cultivation, distribution and sale of cannabis related products, including industrial hemp. The pace of regulatory reform on a state and federal level from a prohibition stance to a tax and regulate approach, which are inherently uncertain future events, will largely determine the pace and the precise scope of expansion for GrowLife divisions and subsidiaries into portions of the business of cannabis in the United States in which GrowLife does not currently participate.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to March 31, 2012

 

Revenue and cost of revenue

 

For the three months ended March 31 2013 our revenue was $760,709, which represents an increase of $668,900 as compared to the $91,809 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to the successful implementation of our acquisition program.

 

Cost of revenue during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $511,583 and $83,767, respectively. This resulted in gross profit of $249,126 for Q1 2013 and $8,042 during Q1 2012. Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 equated to 32.7% of revenue, which represents a significant improvement from the 8.8% achieved in the first quarter of 2012.

 

Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 our general and administrative expenses were $708,869, an increase of $583,725 from the $125,144 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

On a comparative basis, operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $583,725 as compared to the same period in 2012. Wages and related taxes increased $214,337 on a year-to-year basis, primarily due to the acquisitions of SG Technologies Inc., Greners, and Urban Garden. These three operating entities recorded wages and related taxes of $189,845; there were no similar wage and payroll tax expense in Q1 2012 because none of these entities had yet been acquired. Also, note that $132,458 of the wages paid during the first quarter of 2013 were non-cash, as the Company issued 7,545,833 shares of its common stock in exchange for wages.

 

The following is a brief analysis of select operating expenses:

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, accounting and audit fees increased $77,370 as compared to the same period in 2012. The accounting and audit fees include approximately $46,372 of audit fees for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The Company also paid a third-party consultant $35,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to perform additional accounting functions. We paid this consultant $15,000 in cash and the remaining $20,000 was paid by the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Advertising expense increased $41,577 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The Company incurred advertising expense of $22,860 for Greners during the three months ended March 31, 2013, with no similar expense incurred during the same period in 2012. In addition, the Company recorded $24,413 of advertising expense in relation to Phototron during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which also has no similar expense incurred during the same period in 2012.

 

Rents, repairs, and security increased $28,440 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is due entirely to the fact that the Company had three additional facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The three additional facilities were for SGT, Greners, and Urban Garden, all of which were acquired by the Company after March 31, 2012.

-26-
 

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred expenses of $34,010 and $21,667 with relation to GrowLife Productions, Inc. and Cannabis.org, respectively. Neither of these ventures were in development during the first quarter of 2012, and therefore no similar expense was incurred during the first quarter of 2012. Both GrowLife Productions and Cannabis.org are critical elements of the Company’s global branding strategy, and the Company will continue to invest in the development of both GrowLife Productions and Cannabis.org during fiscal year 2013. Note that $11,667 of the Cannabis.org expense was non-cash, as the Company secured these services by issuing 333,333 shares of its common stock in lieu of cash.

 

The Company recorded investor relations/public relations expense of $28,185 and legal expense of $24,619 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to zero in the same three month period in 2012. As a publicly traded company, the Company frequently issues press releases and other promotional information, all of which comes at a cost to the Company. In addition, being a publicly traded company requires filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which often requires the Company to retain independent outside legal counsel to review these, and other, critical filings and documents.

 

Website production expense was $22,742 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Almost all of this was in relation to a major overhaul of the Phototron, Inc. website, which the Company hopes to have online during the second quarter of 2013. The website will be substantially all new in terms of graphics/design and will have a significantly improved, and more efficient, online ordering system.

 

The Company recorded $15,000 in compensation to members of our Board of Directors, all of which was non-cash and paid by the Company issuing 1,500,000 shares of its common stock.

 

Other Expenses

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred other expenses totaling $723,219 versus only $4,584 during the same period in fiscal year 2012. Included in the $723,219 first quarter charge is $667,541 of non-cash expense related to conversion features associated with the 6% Notes issued during fiscal year 2012 and the 10% Convertible Notes issued in January 2013. Note that there was no similar expense incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

 

The Company also incurred $523,467 of net interest expense during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to only $4,584 during the same quarter in fiscal 2012. The increase in interest expense, as measured on a year-to-year basis, is due to the Company having $495,038 of non cash interest expense as of March 31, 2013 compared to $0 non cash interest expense as of March 31, 2012.

 

Amortization of intangible assets resulted in an expense of $27,249 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This expense is in relation to the amortization of $505,000 of intangible assets acquired via the acquisitions of SGT, Greners, and Urban Garden. The Company will continue to amortize these intangible assets at a quarterly expense of $27,249 until the entire $505,000 of intangible assets has been fully amortized.

 

Note that $694,790 of the $723,219 of other expense is non-cash, which means it does not have an adverse affect on the Company’s cash flows.

Loss

 

The net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $1,182,962 with the same period in fiscal 2012 incurring a net loss of $121,686. As noted above in the “Other Expenses” section, a significant portion of the Company’s loss in the first quarter of 2013 is related to non-cash expenses. The following is a brief summary of the non-cash expenses:

-27-
 

 

 

   Q1 2013
Net loss  $(1,182,962)
      
Less non-cash expenses:     
   Non cash interest expense   495,038 
   Change in fair value of derivative   169,753 
   Amortization of intangible assets   27,249 
   Loss on extinguishment of debt   2,750 
   Depreciation of plant & equipment   2,843 
   Services render for common stock   179,125 
Total non-cash expenses   876,758 
      
Adjusted net loss  $(306,204)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had working capital of $349,139 as compared to a working capital deficiency of $67,202 at December 31, 2012. The Company has relied, and will continue to rely, on funds generated through operations, through loans, and through the selling of shares of our common stock to fund our operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company used $318,214 of cash to fund its operating activities as compared to $235,732 used to fund operations in the same period last year.

 

The Company did not use any cash to purchase fixed assets during the three months ended March 31, 2013 while using $1,753 to purchase fixed assets during the same three month period in fiscal 2012.

 

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company generated net proceeds of $528,252 through financing activities, with $534,760 generated by the sale of 15,278,861 shares of its common stock at $0.035 per share, $156,000 generated through the issuance of a 10% convertible note, $25,000 from a related party note payable, and $9,000 from the exercising of 470,237 shares of common stock via a stock option with an exercise price of $0.019 per share. The $724,760 generated via financing activities in the first quarter of 2013 was partially offset by $196,508 in debt and interest payments made by the Company. During the same three month period in fiscal 2012, the Company generated net proceeds of $219,299 via $120,402 of member contributions and $98,897 via related party advances.

 

Unless our operations generate significant revenues and cash flows from operating activities, our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financing, other collaborative agreements and strategic alliances. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term. We also intend to obtain, where appropriate, increases of the amounts available to us under existing revolving promissory notes. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and our Chief Financial officer, who serves as our principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.

 

As of March 31, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the limited size of our staff and budget. The following weaknesses/areas of concern were uncovered by our evaluation:

 

·A computerized accounting system that is not linked among the Company’s different physical locations
·A lack of a centralized Accounting department; each physical location does its own banking, purchasing, and cash disbursements
·A lack of an offsite backup for the Company’s critical computerized data
·Our information systems lack sufficient controls limiting access to key applications and data; and
·Effective controls to ensure the accuracy, valuation and timeliness of the financial accounting process around inventory, including a lack of accuracy and basis for valuation resulting in adjustments to the amount of cost of revenues and the carrying amount of inventory

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation of the Material Weaknesses

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, no changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We are investing in efforts to improve the control environment and intend to commit resources to the continuous improvement of the design, implementation, documentation, testing, and monitoring of our internal controls. As of this filing, the Company has hired one additional Accounting/Finance person and has begun evaluating different Accounting and Point-of-Sale (POS) software systems.

Remediation Plans

Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Board of Directors, intends to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and to address the material weaknesses described above. In addition to improving the effectiveness and compliance with key controls, our remediation efforts will involve ongoing business and accounting process improvements and the implementation of key system enhancements. The process and system enhancements will be generally designed to simplify and standardize business practices and to improve timeliness and access to associated accounting data through increased systems automation, appropriate limitations around IT access, as well as timely testing of controls throughout the fiscal year. While we expect remedial actions to be essentially implemented by the end of fiscal 2013, some may not be in place for a sufficient period of time to help us certify that material weaknesses have been fully remediated as of the end of the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. We will continue to develop our remediation plans and implement additional measures during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and possibly into fiscal 2014.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
