CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, any projections of revenue, gross profit, earnings or loss, tax provisions, cash flows or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies or objectives of management for future operations; any statements regarding current or future macroeconomic or industry-specific trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on us or our financial performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, legal claims or tax disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, performance, prospects, opportunities, achievements or industry results, as well as those of the markets we serve or intend to serve, to differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we operate. Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to:

 

	●	our business prospects and the prospects of our existing and prospective customers;
	●	the inherent uncertainty of product development;
	●	regulatory, legislative and judicial developments, especially those related to changes in, and the enforcement of, cannabis laws;
	●	increasing competitive pressures in our industry;
	●	our relationships with our customers and suppliers;
	●	general economic conditions or conditions affecting demand for the products offered by us in the markets in which we operate, being less favorable than expected;
	●	changes in our business strategy or development plans, including our expected level of capital expenses and working capital;
	●	our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
	●	our ability to raise equity and debt capital to fund our growth strategy, including possible acquisitions;
	●	future revenue being lower than expected; and
	●	our intention not to pay dividends.

 

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Note 1 – Description of Business

 

Surna Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on October 15, 2009. The Company develops innovative technologies and products that monitor, control and or address the energy and resource intensive nature of indoor cannabis cultivation. Currently, the Company’s revenue stream is derived primarily from supplying industrial technology and products to commercial indoor cannabis cultivation facilities. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, the Company’s engineering and technical team provides solutions that allow growers to meet the unique demands of a cannabis cultivation environment through precise temperature, humidity, and process controls, energy and water efficiency, and satisfaction of the evolving code and regulatory requirements being imposed at the state and local levels. The Company’s objective is to leverage its experience in this space in order to bring value-added climate control solutions to its customers that help improve their overall crop quality and yield as well as optimize the resource efficiency of their controlled environment (i.e,. indoor and greenhouses) cultivation facilities. The Company is not involved in the production or sale of cannabis.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation; Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis unless otherwise noted.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses since its inception. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3,284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $22,887,000 as of June 30, 2018. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and customer deposits. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals, successful development, marketing and branding of products; uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

 

Surna Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise debt or equity financing in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. If results of operations for 2018 do not meet management’s expectations, or additional capital is not available, management believes it has the ability to reduce certain expenditures. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the market demand for the Company’s products and services, the quality of product development efforts, management of working capital, and continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of the Company’s products. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will be insufficient to fund its operations for the next 12 months. If the Company is unable to substantially increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows for operations, then the Company will need to raise additional funding to continue as a going concern.

 

The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the financial statements are issued. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled and wholly-owned subsidiary, Hydro Innovations, LLC (“Hydro”). Intercompany transactions, profit, and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include: valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of equity-based compensation, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, warranty accruals, inventory allowances, and legal contingencies.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standard for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

On a Recurring Basis

 

A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

 

Surna Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company issued convertible notes (the “Notes”) to three accredited investors in the aggregate original principal amount of $711,000, together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants, which were outstanding as of December 31, 2017, provided for a reduction in the exercise price in the event the Company issued common stock in a registered offering at a price below the exercise price. In such event, the exercise price under the Warrants would be reduced to the price of the common stock in the dilutive issuance. The Company determined that these outstanding Warrants subject to the exercise price reduction qualified as a derivative financial instrument.

 

During the first quarter of 2018, all of the outstanding Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, and the Company extinguished the derivative liability of approximately $389,000 and recorded an increase in additional paid-in capital of the same amount. The gain on change in derivative liabilities presented in the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents the gain on derivatives through the date of the cashless exercise of these warrants.

 

Financial liabilities carried at fair value, measured on a recurring basis were as follows:

 

		As of June 30, 2018																				As of December 31, 2017
		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Fair Value				Gain(1)				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Fair Value				Gain(2)
Financial liabilities:
Derivative liabilities - warrants		$	-			$	-			$	-			$	-			$	21,403			$	-			$	-			$	410,880			$	410,880			$	66,934
Total financial liabilities		$	-			$	-			$	-			$	-			$	21,403			$	-			$	-			$	410,880			$	410,880			$	66,934

 

 

	(1) The gain on change in derivative liabilities presented in the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents the gain on derivatives through the cashless exercise of all of the associated warrants during the first quarter of 2018.
	(2) Represents the gain on change in derivative liabilities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

 

The change in the balance of the warrant derivative liabilities during the first quarter of 2018 was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the settlement date and the net shares issued under the Warrants, which is classified as a gain on change in derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

On a Non-Recurring Basis

 

Intangible assets that are amortized are evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test consists of comparing the undiscounted projected cash flows with the carrying amount. Should the carrying amount exceed undiscounted projected cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

 

For the Company’s indefinite-lived goodwill, the impairment test consists of comparing the fair value, determined using the market value method, with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the carrying amount in excess of its fair value. The Company concluded that no impairment relating to intangible assets or goodwill existed at June 30, 2018.

 

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“ASC 606” or the “new revenue standard”) to all contracts and elected the modified retrospective method. The results for periods before 2018 were not adjusted for the new revenue standard and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting was recognized through accumulated deficit at the date of adoption. The comparative financial information presented has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to be immaterial to its net income (loss) on an ongoing basis.

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the new revenue standard. Under the new revenue standard, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Most of the Company’s contracts contain multiple performance obligations that include engineering and technical services as well as the delivery of a diverse range of climate control system equipment and components, which can span multiple phases of a customer’s project life-cycle from facility design and construction to equipment delivery and system installation and start-up. The Company does not provide construction services or system installation services. Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, typically engineering only services contracts. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price.

 

Generally, satisfaction occurs when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer or as services are rendered or completed in exchange for consideration in an amount for which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of goods when control transfers to the customer, which primarily occurs at the time of shipment. The Company’s historical rates of return are insignificant as a percentage of sales and, as a result, the Company does not record a reserve for returns at the time the Company recognizes revenue. The Company also recognizes revenue net of sales taxes. The revenue and cost for freight and shipping is recorded when control over the sale of goods passes to the Company’s customers.

The Company also has performance obligations to perform certain engineering services that are satisfied over a period of time. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as the Company performs work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. Revenue is recognized from this type of performance obligation as services are rendered based on the percentage completion towards certain specified milestones.

 

During the course of a customer’s project, the Company may deploy one of its engineers or technicians to the customer’s facility, as requested by the customer, to provide technical guidance either prior to, during, or after, the installation of the climate control system by a third-party contractor. Typically, one of these customer site visits is dedicated to testing that the Company’s equipment has been properly assembled and installed by the installation contractor and assuring the equipment is operating within the agreed specifications, which is commonly referred to as commissioning. The Company charges the customer a per diem fee for these customer site visits, which are generally optional, and are not related to any other performance obligation. The Company has determined that these customer site visits are separate performance obligations as they are considered distinct and the customer benefits from these visits on their own. As separate performance obligations, the revenue related to these customer site visits will be recognized at a point in time when the services are provided to the customer.

 

The Company offers assurance-type warranties for its products and products manufactured by others to meet specifications defined by the contracts with customers, and does not have any material separate performance obligations related to these warranties. The Company maintains a warranty reserve based on historical warranty costs.

 

Other Judgments and Assumptions

 

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs include certain sales commissions and incentives and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. ASC 606-10-32-18 allows the Company to not adjust the amount of consideration to be received in a contract for any significant financing component if the Company expect to receive payment within twelve months of transfer of control of goods or services. The Company has elected this expedient as it expects all consideration to be received in one year or less at contract inception. The Company has also elected not to provide the remaining performance obligations disclosures related to service contracts in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18. The Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice and has adopted this election to not provide the remaining performance obligations related to service contracts.

 

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

 

Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in its contracts.

 

Contract assets include unbilled amounts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and the right of payment is conditional, subject to completing a milestone, such as a phase of a project. The Company typically does not have material amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods are transferred or as services are performed. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has no contract assets.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of revenue recognized. The Company’s contract liabilities are recorded as a current liability in Deferred Revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet since the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue is generally less than one year. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the deferred revenue, which was classified as a current liability, was $1,413,074 and $1,011,871, respectively.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $41,731 and $867,814, respectively, related to the deferred revenue at January 1, 2018.

 

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost resulting from all share-based compensation arrangements, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that the Company grants under its equity incentive plan in its condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair value. The expense is recognized over the requisite service period or performance period of the award. Awards with a graded vesting period based on service are expensed on a straight-line basis for the entire award. Awards with performance-based vesting conditions, which require the achievement of a specific company financial performance goal at the end of the performance period and required service period, are recognized over the performance period. Each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving the respective performance goal. If the goals are not expected to be met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized amount recorded is reversed. If the award contains market-based vesting conditions, the compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and expected achievement of market condition and is not subsequently reversed if it is later determined that the condition is not likely to be met or is expected to be lower than initially expected.

 

The grant date fair value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Black-Scholes Model”). The Black-Scholes Model requires judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected term, both based on historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected term of the option.

 

The grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.

 

The Company has elected to reduce share-based compensation expense for forfeitures as the forfeitures occur since the Company does not have historical data or other factors to appropriately estimate the expected employee terminations and to evaluate whether particular groups of employees have significantly different forfeiture expectations.

 

Share-based awards granted to non-employees are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity issued, whichever can be more readily measured, on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying share-based awards vest.

 

Share-based compensation paid to employees, directors and non-employees totaled $1,493,260 and $391,969 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Share-based compensation expenses are classified in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the same manner as if such compensation was paid in cash. The following is a summary of share-based compensation costs included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

 

		For the Three Months Ended June 30,								For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2018				2017				2018				2017
Share-based compensation expense included in:
Cost of revenue		$	37,792			$	-			$	79,063			$	-
Advertising and marketing expenses			2,273				-				3,125				-
Product development costs			1,137				-				2,274				-
Selling, general and administrative expenses			811,437				261,900				1,408,798				391,969
Total share-based compensation expense included in consolidated statement of operations		$	852,639			$	261,900			$	1,493,260			$	391,969

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, customer disputes, government investigations and tax matters. An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully develop, manufacture and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position, and future cash flows.

 

The Company is subject to risks common to similarly-situated companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability, and the need to obtain additional financing. As a supplier of services and equipment to cannabis cultivators, the Company is also subject to risks related to the cannabis industry. Although certain states and parts of Canada, where the Company sells its products, have legalized medical and/or recreational cannabis, U.S. federal laws continue to prohibit cannabis in all its forms as well as its derivatives. Any changes in the enforcement of U.S. federal laws may adversely affect the implementation of state and local cannabis laws and regulations that permit medical or recreational cannabis and, correspondingly, may adversely impact the Company’s customers. The Company’s success is also dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to successfully develop and market its products.

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s senior management team in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has one operating segment that is dedicated to the manufacture and sale of its products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) adopted ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer, or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the Company’s adoption of ASC 606. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

 

In February 2016, the FASB adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which requires companies leasing assets to recognize on their balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on contracts longer than one year. The lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases. How leases are recorded on the balance sheet represents a significant change from previous GAAP guidance in Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 maintains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases similar to the distinction under previous lease guidance for capital leases and operating leases. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This amendment provides improvements that clarify specific aspects of the guidance in ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This amendment provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (Topic 840, Leases). ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Amounts Due to Shareholders

 

In July of 2014, the Company issued a $250,000 unsecured promissory note (“Hydro Note”) to Stephen and Brandy Keen as part of the purchase price of Hydro. Mr. Keen is a principal shareholder of the Company and was a former executive officer and director, and was formerly a consultant to the Company (see below). Ms. Keen, the spouse of Mr. Keen, is also a principal shareholder of the Company and previously served as an executive officer and director of the Company (see below). As of December 31, 2017, the Hydro Note had a balance of $6,927, which was reflected on the balance sheet as a current liability. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the balance of the Hydro Note was paid in full.

 

Stephen Keen Consulting Agreement

 

On May 10, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a three-year consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) under which Mr. Keen agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company including research and development, new product design and innovations, existing product enhancements and improvements, and other technology advancements with respect to the Company’s business and products in exchange for an annual consulting fee of $30,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the Company recorded consulting fees of $2,500 and $10,000 payable to Stephen Keen during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Sterling Pharms Equipment Agreement

 

On May 10, 2017, the Board approved a three-year equipment, demonstration and product testing agreement between the Company and Sterling Pharms, LLC (“Sterling”), an entity controlled by Mr. Keen, which operates a Colorado-regulated cannabis cultivation facility. Under this agreement, the Company agreed to provide to Sterling certain lighting, environmental control, and air sanitation equipment for use at the Sterling facility in exchange for a quarterly fee of $16,500 from Sterling. Also, under this agreement, Sterling agreed to allow the Company and its existing and prospective customers to have access to the Sterling facility for demonstration tours in a working environment, which the Company believes will assist it in the sale of its products. Sterling also agreed to monitor, test and evaluate the Company’s products installed at the Sterling facility and to collect data and provide feedback to the Company on the energy and operational efficiency and efficacy of the installed products, which the Company intends to use to improve, enhance and develop new or additional product features, innovations and technologies. In consideration for access to the Sterling facility to conduct demonstration tours and for the product testing and data to be provided by Sterling, the Company will pay Sterling a quarterly fee of $12,000.

 

On March 22, 2018, the Company and Sterling entered into an amendment of the original agreement to include additional leased equipment and to increase the quarterly fee payable to the Company to $18,330. The amendment of the original agreement also provided that, upon expiration of the initial three-year term, either: (i) the leased equipment would be returned to the Company and the agreement would terminate, (ii) Sterling could purchase the leased equipment at the agreed upon residual value of $81,827, or (iii) Sterling and the Company could agree to an extension of the original agreement at mutually agreed to quarterly payments to and from the parties.

 

After giving effect to the amended quarterly equipment lease fees received from Sterling of $18,330 (the “Lease Fee”) and the quarterly demonstration and testing fees paid to Sterling of $12,000 (the “Demo and Testing Fee”), the Company will receive a net payment of $6,330 from Sterling each quarter.

 

Sterling accepted delivery of the remaining leased equipment and completed installation of the equipment at its facility on May 1, 2018. Accordingly, the term of this agreement, which commenced upon complete installation of the equipment, commenced May 1, 2018 and will expire April 30, 2021.

 

The Company is treating the equipment rental arrangement and related Lease Fee payment as an operating lease. Accordingly, the equipment held for lease has been recorded as property and equipment on the balance sheets and will be depreciated over the term of the lease. The Lease Fee will be recorded as “Interest and other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded Lease Fees of $12,220 and $12,220, respectively.

 

The Company will record the Demo and Testing Fee as operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded Demo and Testing Fees of $8,000 and $8,000, respectively.

 

Brandy Keen Employment Agreement

 

On May 29, 2018, the Company and Ms. Keen entered into, an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Ms. Keen’s position will remain as Senior Technical Advisor reporting to the Director of Sales; (ii) the term of Ms. Keen’s employment will expire on April 30, 2020, (iii) through April 30, 2019, Ms. Keen will be a full-time employee of the Company and will reside in the Boulder, Colorado area, (iv) beginning May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020, Ms. Keen will become a part-time employee and will be expected to work a minimum of 30 hours per work, (v) beginning May 1, 2019, Ms. Keen may relocate her residence and will only be expected to attend significant trade shows, major customer meetings, or meetings at the Boulder office from time to time, (vi) Ms. Keen’s current base salary of $150,000 and her sales incentive would remain in full force and effect through April 30, 2019, and (vii) beginning May 1, 2019, Ms. Keen’s annualized salary will become $75,000 and she will no longer receive any sales incentives and, except as set forth in the Employment Agreement, Ms. Keen would not be eligible for any other bonus or incentive compensation during the term of her employment.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Board approved an award of 4,800,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Ms. Keen under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be modified and amended by the Company from time to time (the “2017 Equity Plan”), that vest as follows: (i) 1,000,000 RSUs vested on June 30, 2018, subject to her continued employment through the vesting date, (ii) 1,000,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2018, subject to her continued employment through the vesting date, (iii) 1,000,000 RSUs vest on June 30, 2019, subject to her continued employment through the vesting date, (iv) 1,000,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2019, subject to her continued employment through the vesting date, and (v) 800,000 RSUs vest on April 30, 2020, subject to her continued employment through the vesting date. The Employment Agreement provides that the foregoing RSUs would continue to vest if Ms. Keen’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause.

 

In consideration of the new consideration being provided to Ms. Keen under the Employment Agreement, the post-termination restrictive covenants under her existing employment agreement were amended to extend the restrictive period from one year to two years from the date of termination or expiration.

 

In connection with the foregoing transactions, Ms. Keen resigned as an executive officer and director of the Company effective May 10, 2018.

 

Company Purchase of Common Stock from Stephen and Brandy Keen

 

On May 29, 2018, the Company and the Keens entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase from the Keens shares of the Company’s common stock at the Repurchase Price per Share (as defined below) for a total repurchase price of $400,000 (“Repurchased Shares”). The Company’s obligation to repurchase the Repurchased Shares was contingent on the closing of a private placement offering to accredited investors of the Company’s common stock, which occurred during the second quarter of 2018. The Repurchase Price per Share was $0.128, which was equal to 80% of the $0.16 unit price paid by investors in the private placement offering to reflect the estimated value of the warrant included in the unit. On June 19, 2018, the Company closed the transaction under the Stock Repurchase Agreement and repurchased 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Keens. See Note 9.

 

Company Option to Purchase of Preferred Stock from Stephen and Brandy Keen

 

On May 29, 2018, the Company and the Keens entered into a Preferred Stock Option Agreement under which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all 35,189,669 shares of preferred stock owned by the Keens (the “Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Option Agreement, upon exercise of the option by the Company, the Company will issue one share of common stock for each 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock purchased by the Company. The common stock issued upon exercise will be restricted shares. The option will expire on April 30, 2020. As consideration for the Keens’ grant of the option, the Company paid them $5,000. See Note 9.

 

Note 7 – Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company determined that the Warrants qualified as derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, the Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities and were marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value during the period was recorded as gain (loss) on change in derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

During the first quarter of 2018, all of the outstanding Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis and the Company extinguished the derivative liability of $389,000 and recorded an increase in additional paid-in capital of the same amount. The gain on change in derivative liabilities presented in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $0 and $21,403, respectively, represent the gain on derivatives through the date of the cashless exercise of the Warrants.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a liability for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Internal Revenue Service Penalties

 

The Company has been penalized by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for failure to file its Foreign Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, for the years 2011, 2012 and 2014 on a timely basis. The penalties and interest approximate $115,000. The Company’s request that the penalties be abated for reasonable cause was denied by the IRS in September 2017. The Company has appealed the IRS’s denial based on statutory grounds under Revenue Procedure 92-70, which provides a summary filing procedure for filing Form 5471 with respect to dormant foreign corporations. Persons complying with this revenue procedure are deemed to satisfy their Form 5471 filing obligations with respect to dormant foreign corporations and are not subject to penalties related to the failure to timely file a complete Form 5471 and to timely furnish information requested thereon. The IRS has notified the Company that it has referred the appeal to a regional appeals office for handling, and the Company has not yet received any response from the appeals office. The Company believes it has complied with the summary filing procedures for filing Form 5471 under Revenue Procedure 92-70 and the likelihood of abatement is more likely than not. As a result, no amounts have been accrued for this contingency as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. However, there can be no assurance of any abatement until the IRS acts upon the appeal.

 

Building Lease

 

The Company has a lease agreement for its manufacturing and office space consisting of approximately 18,600 square feet, which commenced on September 29, 2017 and continues through August 31, 2022. The monthly rental rate of $18,979 will continue until August 31, 2018. Beginning September 1, 2018, the monthly rent will increase by 3% each year through the end of the lease. The Company made a security deposit of $51,000 and received a $100,000 tenant allowance for leasehold improvements.

The following is a schedule by years of the minimum future lease payments on the building lease as of June 30, 2018.

 

Year Ended December 31,
2018		$	116,151
2019			236,926
2020			244,034
2021			251,355
2022			170,888
Total future minimum lease payments		$	1,019,354

 

Total rent under the building lease is charged to expense over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis, resulting in the same monthly rent expense throughout the lease. The difference between the rent expense amount and the actual rent paid is recorded to deferred rent on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company recorded to deferred rent a credit for the tenant improvements paid for or reimbursed by the landlord during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Depreciation of the leasehold improvements and amortization of the credit have been determined based on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease. The amortization of the credit for the tenant improvement allowance will result in a corresponding reduction in rent expense over the term of the lease.

 

Other Commitments

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers and employees that will require the Company to, among other things, indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees, and former officers, directors, and employees of acquired companies, in certain circumstances.

 

Note 9 – Non-compensatory Equity Transactions

 

Private Placement Offering

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company completed a private placement offering of investment units (the “Units”), at a price of $0.16 per Unit, with certain accredited investors. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued a total of 7,562,500 Units for aggregate proceeds of $1,210,000. No commissions or fees were paid in connection with the offering, and the proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, after $400,000 from the proceeds was used to repurchase shares of common stock from the Keens.

 

The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share of the common stock underlying each warrant, subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant. The warrants are exercisable commencing July 1, 2018 until June 30, 2021. The warrant may be exercised only for cash.

 

Each warrant is callable at the Company’s option, beginning on July 1, 2019 until the expiration date of the warrant, provided the closing price of the Company’s common stock is $0.40 (subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant) or greater for five consecutive trading days (the “Call Condition”). Commencing at any time after the date on which the Call Condition is satisfied, the Company has the right, upon notice to the holders, to redeem the shares of common stock underlying each warrant at a price of $0.01 per share, but such redemption may not occur earlier than sixty-one (61) days following the date of the receipt of notice by the holder (the “Redemption Date”). The holder may exercise the warrant (in whole or in part) prior to the Redemption Date at the Exercise Price.

Common Stock Repurchase

 

On June 19, 2018, the Company repurchased 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Keens for a repurchase price of $400,000. See Note 6. Following the repurchase, the Company retired these shares and returned them to unauthorized and unissued shares. The Company recorded the purchase price for the repurchased shares as a reduction to common stock at par value with the remainder of the purchase price reflected as an increase to accumulated deficit.

 

Purchase of Preferred Stock Option

 

On May 29, 2018, the Company acquired an option to purchase 35,189,669 shares of preferred stock owned by the Keens. The Company paid the Keens $5,000 for this option. See Note 6. The Company recorded the purchase price for the option as an increase to accumulated deficit.

 

Note 10 – Equity Incentive Plan

 

On August 1, 2017, the Board adopted and approved the 2017 Equity Plan in order to attract, motivate, retain, and reward high-quality executives and other employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other persons who provide services to the Company by enabling such persons to acquire an equity interest in the Company. Under the 2017 Equity Plan, the Board (or the compensation committee of the Board, if one is established) may award stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”), shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, and other stock-based performance awards. The 2017 Equity Plan allocates 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Plan Shares”) for issuance of equity awards under the 2017 Equity Plan. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, the shares will, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, or termination, again be available for awards under the 2017 Equity Plan.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has granted, under the 2017 Equity Plan, awards in the form of RSAs for services rendered by independent directors and consultants, non-qualified stock options, RSUs and stock bonus awards totaling 39,588,972 shares. Of these total awards, as of June 30, 2018, (i) awards related to 4,345,000 shares have been forfeited or expired, (ii) 9,533,972 shares have been issued on settlement of vested awards, and (iii) awards related to 25,710,000 remain outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued shares of its common stock under the 2017 Equity Plan in settlement of certain vested awards as follows:

 

 

Surna Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

	●	4,050,000 shares to certain employees and independent directors in settlement of vested restricted stock units;
	●	1,560,000 shares pursuant to special incentive stock bonuses earned by the CEO and another employee for the period ended December 31, 2017;
	●	119,820 shares of common stock to independent directors in lieu of cash director fees of $30,000 related to the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018;
	●	158,658 shares to a consultant as compensation for services rendered in lieu of cash fees of $44,900 for the period November 1, 2017 to February 13, 2018;
	●	1,000,000 shares to a consultant as bonus compensation for services rendered; and
	●	25,000 shares upon exercise of non-qualified stock options by a former employee upon payment of the exercise price of $3,375.

 

The total unrecognized compensation expense for unvested non-qualified stock options, RSUs and stock bonus awards at June 30, 2018 was $1,103,770, which will be recognized over approximately 2.0 years. This unrecognized compensation expense does not include the potential future compensation expense related to non-qualified stock options and RSUs which are subject to vesting based on the achievement of $18,000,000 in revenue for 2018 and $25,000,000 in revenue for 2019 (the “Performance-based Awards”). As of June 30, 2018 and the grant date, the Company has determined that the likelihood of performance levels being obtained is remote; therefore, no expense was recognized. The unrecognized compensation expense with respect to these Performance-based Awards at June 30, 2018 was $1,251,973.

 

Non-Qualified Stock Options

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to determine the fair value of options granted. Option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly for the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of options. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The expected stock price volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over periods that are similar to the expected terms of grants and other relevant factors. The Company derives the expected term based on an average of the contract term and the vesting period taking into consideration the vesting schedules and future employee behavior with regard to option exercise. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for a maturity approximating the expected term calculated at the date of grant. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and the Company has no intention to pay a dividend at this time; therefore, the Company assumes that no dividends will be paid over the expected terms of option awards.

 

The Company determines the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards as of the date of grant. Differences in the expected stock price volatility, expected term or risk-free interest rate may necessitate distinct valuation assumptions at those grant dates. As such, the Company may use different assumptions for options granted throughout the year. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option award on the date of grant were: expected stock price volatility 118.90%; expected term in years 7.5 and risk-free interest rate 2.77%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $27,978 as compensation expense related to vested options issued to employees, net of forfeitures.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had granted non-qualified options to purchase 10,250,000 shares which were performance-based, of which 1,950,000 were forfeited due to the failure to satisfy the 2017 revenue and bookings performance thresholds and 1,000,000 were forfeited due to employee terminations. Of the remaining non-qualified options to purchase 7,300,000 shares which are performance-based, the Company has determined that the likelihood of the 2018 and 2019 performance thresholds being satisfied is remote as of the date of grant and June 30, 2018; therefore, no expense was recognized. As of June 30, 2018, the performance-based non-qualified stock options include: (i) 2,950,000 options that vest if the Company achieves 2018 revenue of $18,000,000, and (ii) 4,350,000 options that vest if the Company achieves 2019 revenue of $25,000,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $796,874 as compensation expense related to vested RSUs issued to employees, directors and consultants. As of June 30, 2018, total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested RSUs was $1,080,982, of which $745,282 was related to time-based vesting and $335,700 was related to performance-based vesting. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested and settled or to be settled with share issuance was $1,577,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the vesting date.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had granted 3,000,000 RSUs to the CEO which were performance-based. The Company has determined that the likelihood of the performance thresholds being satisfied is remote as of the date of grant and June 30, 2018; therefore, no expense was recognized. As of June 30, 2018, the performance-based RSUs include: (i) 1,500,000 RSUs that vest if the Company achieves 2018 revenue of $18,000,000, and (ii) 1,500,000 options that vest if the Company achieves 2019 revenue of $25,000,000.

 

Incentive Stock Bonus Awards

 

Incentive stock bonuses awarded pursuant to certain employment agreements are treated as vesting over each award’s service period based on the fair value of the award at the time of grant. Even though the awards are subject to Board approval, the awards are treated as vesting over each service period based on the employee performance standards for such awards included in the employment agreements. Since the awards are denominated in shares of common stock, the fair value of the vested award is charged to additional paid-in capital. In the event the Board does not approve these incentive stock bonus awards or the employee terminates employment, the Company would reverse any previously recognized compensation costs related to these awards.

 

A summary of the incentive stock bonus awards granted to employees under the 2017 Equity Plan as June 30, 2018, and changes during the six months then ended, are presented in the table below:

 

		Number of Shares				Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value				Aggregate Intrinsic Value

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $277,566 as compensation expense related to vested stock bonus awards issued to employees, net of forfeitures related to employee terminations. As of June 30, 2018, total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock bonus awards was $304,150.

 

Note 11 – Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has U.S. federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $10,848,000, which will expire, if not utilized, in the years 2034 through 2037. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, use of the Company’s NOLs carryforwards may be limited in the event of cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.

 

The Company must assess the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets (including NOLs) will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. Management’s judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Based on the available evidence, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize its net deferred tax assets (including NOLs) in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices, and the transactions underlying our financial results, as well as with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under “Cautionary Statements and Projections” appearing elsewhere herein and the risks and uncertainties described or identified in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our financial results on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, we use the non-GAAP measures including net bookings and backlog, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and certain debt-related expenses. We believe these non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding our past performance and are intended to aid in evaluating our potential future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way to view aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

 

Overview

 

We design, engineer and manufacture application-specific environmental control and air sanitation systems for commercial, state- and provincial-regulated indoor cannabis cultivation facilities in the U.S. and Canada. Our engineering and technical team provides energy and water efficient solutions that allow growers to meet the unique demands of a cannabis cultivation environment through precise temperature, humidity, and process controls and to satisfy the evolving code and regulatory requirements being imposed at the state and local levels.

 

Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, we leverage our experience in this space in order to bring value-added climate control solutions to our customers that help improve their overall crop quality and yield as well as optimize the resource efficiency of their controlled environment (i.e., indoor and greenhouses) cultivation facilities. We have been involved in consulting, equipment sales and/or full-scale design for over 700 grow facilities since 2006 making us a trusted resource for indoor environmental design and control management for the cannabis industry.

 

Our customers have included small cultivation operations to licensed commercial facilities ranging from several thousand to more than 100,000 square feet. We have sold our equipment and systems throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as internationally in South Africa, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Our revenue stream is derived primarily from supplying mechanical engineering services and climate and environmental control equipment to commercial indoor cannabis grow facilities in North America. We also sell equipment to smaller cultivators who can purchase either directly from us, or from our authorized wholesalers or retailers. Though our customers do, we neither produce nor sell cannabis.

 

Shares of our common stock are traded on the OTCMarkets under the ticker symbol “SRNA.”

 

Cannabis Market

 

The demand for our climate control and air sanitation systems, including system design and engineering, proprietary equipment, and third-party manufactured equipment, is primarily influenced by the construction of new cannabis cultivation facilities in the U.S. and Canada. Due to continued uncertainty of the cannabis industry following the U.S. Justice Department’s announcement of its opposition to legalized cannabis in early 2017, and the January 4, 2018 rescission of the Cole Memo, we believe there may be an interim decrease in the development and financing of new cannabis cultivation facilities. However, this possible market effect is expected to be mitigated by California’s legalization of recreational cannabis use, and Canada’s recent federal legalization of cannabis.

 

 

Recent and anticipated regulatory changes involving medicinal and/or recreational cannabis use in various jurisdictions, such as California and Canada, tend to be a leading indicator for the granting of licenses for new facility construction. As more new cultivation facilities become licensed, we in turn have an expanded set of potential customers that might buy our climate control systems.

 

For 2018, we are pursuing customers seeking to build larger indoor cannabis cultivation facilities in all regulated markets, with special focus in California and Canada. In Canada, medicinal use of cannabis is federally legal, and the Canadian federal government recently legalized recreational use effective October 2018. On June 26, 2018, Oklahoma voters approved a medical cannabis ballot initiative. We also believe that Michigan will offer opportunities in 2018 as the state attempts to move to a recreational use regulated market, with the second-largest medical cannabis patient base in the U.S. In November 2018, voters in Michigan will consider an initiative legalizing and regulating recreational use of cannabis. Utah voters will also decide on a medical cannabis ballot measure in November 2018.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into sales orders for 12 projects, each with a sales value over $100,000, which we refer to as commercial-scale projects. These commercial-scale projects represented aggregate net bookings of $4,145,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into sales orders for 23 commercial-scale projects with aggregate net bookings of $8,584,000. This compares to 21 commercial-scale projects representing aggregate net bookings of $6,749,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The California and Canadian markets each showed signs of strength for us through the first half of 2018, and we expect this trend to continue through the remainder of 2018. The following table sets forth our net bookings of commercial-scale projects for each cohort period presented (meaning, the commercial-scale contracts executed during each period for which we received an initial deposit, adjusted for any change orders or cancellations for that cohort group to date) by country/state.

Project Life-Cycle and Backlog

 

The project life-cycle for our commercial projects continues to vary significantly. From the execution of the sales contract, to engineering services and equipment delivery, and all the way through installation and commissioning of the installed system, which we refer to as our project life-cycle, the project can take anywhere from four months to two years to complete. The longer the project life-cycle, the longer it takes for us to recognize revenue on booked sales orders. Since we do not install the climate control systems, our customers are required to use third-party installation contractors, which adds to the variability in the project life-cycle and our revenue recognition.

 

 

The time it takes for our customer to complete a project, which corresponds to when we are able to recognize revenue, is driven by numerous factors including:

 

	●	the large number of first-time participants interested in the indoor cannabis cultivation business;
	●	the complexities and uncertainties involved in obtaining state and local licensure and permitting;
	●	local and state government delays in approving licenses and permits due to lack of staff or the large number of pending applications, especially in states where there is no cap on the number of cultivators;
	●	the customer’s need to obtain cultivation facility financing;
	●	the time needed, and coordination required, for our customers to acquire real estate and properly design and build the facility (to the stage when climate control systems can be installed);
	●	the large price tag and technical complexities of the climate control and air sanitation system;
	●	the availability of power; and
	●	delays that are typical in completing any construction project.

 

Because of the foregoing factors, there are risks that we may not realize the full contract value of these projects in a timely manner or at all. Completion of a customer’s cultivation facility project is dependent upon the customer’s ability to secure funding and real estate, obtain a license and then build their cultivation facility so they can take possession of the equipment.

 

Given the timing of the deliverables in our sales contracts, we can experience large variances in quarterly revenue. Our revenue recognition is dependent upon shipment of the equipment portions of our sales contracts, which, in many cases, may be delayed while our customers complete permitting, prepare their facilities for equipment installation or obtain project financing.

 

Industry uncertainty, project financing concerns, and the licensing and qualification of our prospective customers, which are out of our control, make it difficult for us to predict when we will recognize revenue. We continue to focus on increasing our sales contract backlog and quoting on larger (i.e., greater than $100,000) projects in an effort to increase revenue. We also will focus on leveraging our current market position and presence to build our pipeline in the California and Canadian markets, as well as other emerging U.S. markets. As our backlog has grown with increased bookings, we have been making investments in people, facilities and systems to prepare ourselves to meet our customers’ demand for timely delivery of a fully engineered, application-specific, climate control system.

 

The following table sets forth: (i) our beginning backlog (the remaining contract value of outstanding sales contracts for which we have received an initial deposit as of the previous period), (ii) our net bookings for the period (new sales contracts executed during the period for which we received an initial deposit, net of any adjustments including change orders during the period), (iii) our recognized revenue for the period, and (iv) our ending backlog for the period (the sum of the beginning backlog and net bookings, less recognized revenue).

 

		For the quarter ended
		June 30, 2017				September 30, 2017				December 31, 2017				March 31, 2018				June 30, 2018
Backlog, beginning balance		$	3,790,000			$	3,933,000			$	4,311,000			$	4,456,000			$	7,024,000
Net bookings, current period		$	1,885,000			$	1,944,000			$	2,454,000			$	4,623,000			$	3,867,000
Recognized revenue, current period		$	1,742,000			$	1,566,000			$	2,309,000			$	2,055,000			$	2,008,000
Backlog, ending balance		$	3,933,000			$	4,311,000			$	4,456,000			$	7,024,000			$	8,883,000

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, (i) our net bookings were $3,867,000, a decrease of $756,000, or 16%, compared to the prior quarter, and (ii) our recognized revenue was $2,008,000, a decrease of $47,000, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter. We believe net bookings in any given cohort quarter are our best leading indicator of revenue that we may recognize in the ensuing two to eight quarters from that cohort.

 

 

As of June 30, 2018, our ending backlog was $8,883,000, an increase of $1,859,000, or 26%, compared to the prior quarter-end. About 53% of our June 30, 2018 ending backlog (down from 78% at March 31, 2018) is attributable to projects for which we have only received an initial deposit and, as a result, there are potential risks that the equipment portion of these projects will not be completed or will be delayed, which could occur if our customer is dissatisfied with the quality or timeliness of our engineering services or there is a delay or abandonment of the project due to the customer’s inability to obtain project financing or licensing.

 

Backlog and net bookings may not be indicative of future operating results, and our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including delays in or inability to obtain project financing or licensing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog will actually generate revenues or when the actual revenues will be generated. Backlog and net bookings are considered non-GAAP financial measures, and therefore, they should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, recognized revenue and deferred revenue. Further, we can provide no assurance as to the profitability of our contracts reflected in backlog and net bookings.

 

Government Regulation

 

The use, possession, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis is prohibited by U.S. federal law. This includes medical and recreational cannabis. Although certain states have legalized medical and recreational cannabis, companies and individuals involved in the sector are still at risk of being prosecuted by federal authorities. Further, the landscape in the cannabis industry changes rapidly. This means that at any time the city, county, or state where cannabis is permitted can change the current laws and/or the federal government can supersede those laws and take prosecutorial action. Given the uncertain legal nature of the cannabis industry, it is imperative that investors understand that investments in the cannabis industry should be considered very high risk. A change in the current laws or enforcement policy can negatively affect the status and operation of our business, require additional fees, stricter operational guidelines and unanticipated shut-downs.

 

See the “Risks Related to the Cannabis Industry” set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which addresses various risks related to U.S. and foreign regulation and enforcement of cannabis laws and regulations and their potential impact on our business.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Three Months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,008,000 compared to $1,742,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $266,000, or 15%. Although our net bookings trended favorably and our backlog grew during 2018, revenue recognition continues to be impacted by our long and uncertain project life-cycle and delays faced by our customers in the construction of new cultivation facilities.

 

Cost of revenue increased by $155,000, or 12%, from $1,329,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $1,484,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $523,000 compared to $413,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit margin increased by two percentage points from 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was due primarily to higher gross profit margin on our equipment sales, which were offset by lower gross profit margins on our engineering services and shipping and handling.

 

We experienced unfavorable trends in our fixed costs and favorable trends in our variable costs during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our fixed costs (which include engineering, service, manufacturing and project management salaries and benefits and manufacturing overhead) totaled $437,000, or 22% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $274,000, or 16% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $163,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation) of $157,000. Our variable costs (which include the cost of equipment, outside engineering costs, shipping and handling, travel and warranty costs) totaled $1,047,000, or 52% of total revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $1,055,000, or 60% of total revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

 

We continue to focus on gross margin improvement through a combination of, among other things, more disciplined pricing using enhanced pricing software, better absorption of our fixed costs as we convert our increased bookings into revenue, and the implementation over time of lower-cost supplier alternatives.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased by 21% from $1,610,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $1,941,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $331,000. The operating expense increase consisted of: (i) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) of $356,000, and (ii) an increase in advertising and marketing expenses of $14,000, offset by (iii) a decrease in product development expense of $39,000.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, was due primarily to: (i) an increase of $542,000 in stock-related compensation paid to employees, (ii) an increase of $73,000 in salaries and benefits, (iii) an increase of $235,000 in consulting fees (of which $193,000 were paid in stock), offset by (iv) a decrease $37,000 in accounting, legal and other professional fees, and (v) a decrease of $442,000 in stock-related compensation paid to our independent directors.

 

Operating Loss

 

We had an operating loss of $1,417,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to an operating loss of $1,197,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $220,000, or 18%. The operating loss included $853,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $262,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding these non-cash items, our operating loss decreased by $371,000.

 

Other Income

 

We had other income (net) of $123,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to other income (net) of $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The other income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 included the gain of $164,000 on the change in derivative liabilities associated with certain warrants.

 

Net Loss

 

Overall, we had a net loss of $1,401,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a net loss of $1,073,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $328,000, or 31%. The net loss included $853,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $262,000 and debt-related income (net) of $123,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Comparison of Six Months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $4,062,000 compared to $3,335,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $727,000, or 22%. Although our net bookings trended favorably and our backlog grew during 2018, revenue recognition continues to be impacted by an uncertain project life-cycle and delays faced by our customers in the construction of new cultivation facilities.

 

 

Cost of revenue increased by $663,000, or 27%, from $2,494,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $3,157,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $905,000 compared to $841,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit margin decreased by three percentage points from 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was due primarily to a one-time accommodation during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to a customer with whom we are working on several indoor grow facilities who we assisted in sourcing certain climate control equipment, which we did not normally sell, so the customer could complete this particular project in a timely manner. This equipment sale generated revenue of $413,000 at a gross profit margin of 2.5%.

 

We experienced unfavorable trends in our fixed and favorable trends in our variable costs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our fixed costs (which include engineering, service, manufacturing and project management salaries and benefits and manufacturing overhead) totaled $843,000, or 21% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $568,000, or 17% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $275,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $180,000 and stock-based compensation of $79,000. Our variable costs (which include the cost of equipment, outside engineering costs, shipping and handling, travel and warranty costs) totaled $2,314,000, or 57% of total revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $1,925,000, or 58% of total revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased by 61% from $2,628,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $4,228,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $1,600,000. The operating expense increase consisted of: (i) an increase in SG&A expenses of $1,539,000, and (ii) an increase in advertising and marketing expenses of $119,000, offset by (iii) a decrease in product development expense of $58,000.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, was due primarily to: (i) an increase of $997,000 in stock-related compensation paid to employees, (ii) an increase of $397,000 in salaries and benefits, (iii) an increase of $424,000 in consulting fees (of which $298,000 were paid in stock), (iv) an increase $67,000 in accounting, legal and other professional fees, offset by (v) a decrease of $516,000 in stock-related compensation paid to our independent directors.

 

The increase in marketing expenses were primarily for: (i) marketing salaries and benefits (including stock related-compensation) which increased by approximately $24,000, and (ii) advertising and marketing events which increased by $159,000.

 

Operating Loss

 

We had an operating loss of $3,322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to an operating loss of $1,786,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1,536,000, or 86%. The operating loss included $1,493,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $392,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding these non-cash items, our operating loss increased by $435,000.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

We had other expense (net) of $288,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to other income (net) of $38,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The other income (net) during the six months ended June 30, 2018 included the gain of $21,000 on the change in derivative liabilities associated with certain warrants that were exercised on a cashless basis. The other expense (net) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 included the loss on extinguishment of debt of $415,000 due to the conversion of certain notes, the gain of $218,000 on the change in derivative liabilities associated with certain warrants, and other debt-related costs of $95,000.

 

 

Net Loss

 

Overall, we had a net loss of $3,284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to a net loss of $2,074,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1,210,000, or 58%. The net loss included $1,493,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $392,000 and debt-related expenses (net) of $291,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,629,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,468,000 as of December 31, 2017. The $839,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily the result of: (i) cash used in our operating activities of $1,511,000, (ii) cash used in our investing activities of $144,000, which are primarily related to improvements made to our leased manufacturing facility, and (iii) cash provided by our financing activities of $816,000, which includes our private placement offering of $1,210,000, offset by our common share repurchase of $400,000.

 

Our cash is held in bank depository accounts in certain financial institutions. We currently have deposits in financial institutions that exceed the federally insured amount.

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) of $230,000, inventory (net of excess and obsolete allowance) of $454,000, and prepaid expenses of $264,000. While we typically require advance payment before we commence engineering services or ship equipment to our customers, we have made exceptions requiring us to record accounts receivable, which carry a risk of non-collectability especially since most of our customers are funded on an as-needed basis to complete facility construction. As of June 30, 2018, we had no indebtedness, total accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,253,000, and deferred revenue of $1,413,000. As of June 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $63,000, compared to a working capital surplus of $308,000 as of December 31, 2017.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,511,000 compared to cash used in operations of $1,980,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $469,000. The reduction in cash usage during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash used for working capital of $801,000 and an increase in non-cash charges of $878,000, offset by an increase in net loss of $1,210,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the significant non-cash item was stock-related compensation of $1,493,000.

 

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $144,000 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had payments for property and equipment (including equipment held for lease) of $243,000, primarily related to leasehold improvements, offset by proceeds from the payment of the tenant improvement allowance on our building lease.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $816,000 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2,882,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we received $1,210,000 from a private placement of common stock and warrants and $18,000 from the exercise of options and warrants, which was offset by payment of $400,000 for the repurchase of common stock from a related party, $5,000 to purchase an option to purchase preferred stock held by a related party, and $7,000 on a note to a related party. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we issued two unsecured promissory notes for aggregate proceeds of $500,000, which were converted into common stock in the third quarter of 2017, we made payments of $270,000 to extinguish the principal under our remaining convertible promissory notes, and we raised $2,685,000 in a private placement of common stock and warrants to investors.

 

Going Concern

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our independent registered public accounting firm included in its audit opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 a statement that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have determined that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders will be materially and adversely affected. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date our condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Capital Raising

 

During the second quarter of 2018, we raised $1,210,000 in a private placement offering of investment units (the “Units”), at a price of $0.16 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock. We issued a total of 7,562,500 Units in the offering, and no commissions or fees were paid. The proceeds from the offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, we used $400,000 from the proceeds of the offering to repurchase shares of common stock from our co-founders, Stephen and Brandy Keen. Refer to Note 9 – Non-compensatory Equity Transactions of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included as part of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the private placement offering.

 

We believe our cash balances and cash flow from operations will be insufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. If we are unable to substantially increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows for operations, then we will need to raise additional funding to continue as a going concern.

 

 

If results of operations for 2018 do not meet management’s expectations, or additional capital is not available, management believes it has the ability to reduce certain expenditures. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the market demand for our products and services, the quality of product development efforts, management of working capital, and continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of our products and services.

 

Based on management’s estimate for our operational cash requirements, we may need to raise financing during the fourth quarter of 2018 or the first quarter of 2019 in order to continue our operations and achieve our growth targets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise debt or equity financing in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all.

 

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, make adjustments to our payment arrangements or raise sufficient additional capital through future debt and equity financings or strategic and collaborative ventures with potential partners, we will likely have to reduce the size and scope of our operations. Our officers and shareholders have not made any written or oral agreement to provide us additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise capital on terms and conditions that are deemed acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Inflation

 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.

 

Contractual Payment Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2018, our contractual payment obligations consisted of a building lease. On January 2, 2018, the leased space was expanded to 18,600 square feet and the monthly rental rate increased to $18,979, which will continue through August 31, 2018. Beginning September 1, 2018, the monthly rent will increase by 3% each year through the end of the lease.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are required to disclose any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. As of June 30, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities other than those included in the “Contractual Payment Obligations” discussed above in Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Key estimates include: valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of equity-based compensation, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, warranty accruals, inventory allowances, and legal contingencies.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, therefore are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, which positions were held by the same person as of June 30, 2018, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that as a result of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.

 

We did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because: (i) we lack a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements, (ii) there is inadequate segregation of duties due to the limitation on the number of our accounting personnel, and (iii) we have insufficient controls and processes in place to adequately verify the accuracy and completeness of spreadsheets that we use for a variety of purposes including revenue, taxes, stock-based compensation and other areas, and place significant reliance on, for our financial reporting.

 

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. We are committed to continuing to improve our financial organization including, without limitation, expanding our accounting staff and improving our systems and controls to reduce our reliance on the manual nature of our existing systems. However, due to our size and our financial resources, remediating the several identified weaknesses has not been possible and may not be economically feasible now or in the future.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. We have and will continue to have commercial disputes arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should also carefully review and consider the risk factors contained in our other reports and periodic filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, the risk factors and uncertainties contained under the caption “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risk factors discussed in that Form 10-K do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. There have been no material changes in the significant factors that may affect our business and operations as described in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

During the second quarter of 2018, we completed a private placement offering of investment units (the “Units”), at a price of $0.16 per Unit, with certain accredited investors. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock. We issued a total of 7,562,500 Units for aggregate proceeds of $1,210,000, and no commissions or fees were paid. The proceeds from the offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, after $400,000 from the proceeds was used to repurchase 3,125,000 shares of common stock from our co-founders, Stephen and Brandy Keen, at a purchase price of $0.128 per share. The offer and sale of the Units was made by in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. No registration rights were provided for any of the securities issued in the offering or on exercise of the warrants. Refer to Note 9 – Non-compensatory Equity Transactions of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included as part of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the private placement offering.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we issued shares of our restricted common stock as follows:

 

	●	459,246 shares upon the exercise of certain warrants by a former director on a cashless exercise basis;
	●	100,000 shares to a consultant as compensation for services rendered; and
	●	31,562 shares to certain employees under a sales incentive plan.
