NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Solis Tek Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 31, 2017.

History and Organization

Solis Tek Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 2, 2007 as Cinjet, Inc. (“Cinjet”). Effective September 1, 2015, Cinjet changed its corporate name to Solis Tek Inc. On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Solis Tek Inc., a California corporation (“STI”), and CJA Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into STI (the “Merger”), with STI surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with STI being deemed the accounting acquirer.

Overview of Business

Solis Tek Inc. is focused on the research, design, development and manufacturing of advanced, energy efficient indoor horticulture lighting and ancillary equipment. Our vision is to apply the latest advances in high efficiency lighting and controls technology as well as effective manufacturing techniques to deliver highly differentiated products with clear benefits at competitive prices to the greenhouse and indoor horticulture markets.

The Solis Tek, Inc. launched an organic solutions and nutrient line in 2016 through its newly formed subsidiary Zelda Horticulture, Inc., (f.k.a. GrowPro Solutions, Inc.). Zelda’s in-house Research and Development department formulates unique plant nutrient additives designed to create healthier plants which yield greater plant aroma, volume, and oil production and intensity in the growing cycle. The end users of the new nutrient additive products are the same existing Solis Tek lighting clients, hence, the company will leverage its existing sales and distribution channels to gain maximum efficiencies with this new subsidiary division. Zelda’s nutrient products are trademark protected, formulated and produced in our own facility in Carson, CA.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and three of its wholly owned subsidiaries; Solis Tek Inc., a California corporation, Solis Tek East Corporation (“STE”), an entity incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey; and Zelda Horticulture, Inc, (“Zelda”) (f.k.a. GrowPro Solutions, Inc)., an entity incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income (Loss) Per Share Calculations

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Shares of restricted stock subject to vesting are included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Weighted average number of shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting acquirer as a result of the reverse merger as if these shares had been outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Options to acquire 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding at June 30, 2017 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing our allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory valuations, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of the Company’s products to its customers, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title to the Company’s products primarily is transferred to the customer once the product is shipped from the Company’s warehouses. Products are not shipped until there is a written agreement with the customer with a specified payment arrangement. Any discounts that are offered are done as a reduction of the invoiced amount at the time of billing. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits.

The Company does not offer a general right of return on any of its sales and considers all sales as final. The Company generally provides a three-year warranty on its ballasts. However, the Company does not maintain a warranty reserve as the Company is able to chargeback its vendors for all warranty claims. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a reserve for returned product in the amount of $45,410 and $45,410, respectively, which is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts as of those dates.

Concentration Risks

The Company’s products require specific components that currently are available from a limited number of sources. The Company purchases its key products and components from single vendors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, its ballasts, lamps and reflectors, which comprised the vast majority of the Company’s purchases during those periods, were each only purchased from one separate vendor. The ballast vendor is a related party (see Note 4).

The Company performs a regular review of customer activity and associated credit risks and does not require collateral or other arrangements. There were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Shipments to customers outside the United States comprised 6% and 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Shipments to customers outside the United States comprised 4% and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance and as of December 31, 2016, a different customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

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

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Agreement with Chief Executive Officer

On January 6, 2017, the company extended an offer to Dennis G. Forchic to become CEO. Mr. Forchic accepted the offer and contracts were executed on March 27, 2017. As part of the Employment Agreement, the Company issued a total of 5,411,765 shares valued at $2,760,000, the purchase of an additional 784,314 shares valued at $400,000 for a consideration of $100,000. The fair value of the shares on the date of grant over consideration received was $3,060,000, which was recorded as stock compensation expense.

In addition Mr. Forchic was granted an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares at $0.60 per share, with 33.3% of these shares vesting on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting in equal installments at the end of each month over the next three years. The options were valued at $835,767 using a Black Scholes options pricing model and will be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. The amount amortized as stock based compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $69,647 and $134,801, respectively. The fair value of the options of $835,767 was based on a probability effected Black-Scholes option pricing model with a stock price of $0.51, volatility of 198.3% and risk-free rates of 0.83% - 1.03%. As of June 30, 2017, there was $700,966 of unvested stock compensation that will be amortized over the next two and a half years. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $134,801 of this cost was amortized.

Other issuances

During 2017, the Company entered into various consulting agreements with a third parties (“Consultants”) pursuant to which these Consultants will provide services including but not limited to business development, sales promotion, introduction to new business opportunities, strategic analysis, and, sales and marketing activities. In accordance with these agreements, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,117,000 shares to the Consultants for the services rendered. The Company accounted for the aggregate fair value of the shares of common stock issued to Consultants in accordance with current accounting guidelines, and determined the aggregate fair value of these shares to be $1,635,050 based on the trading prices per share of the Company’s stock at every issuance date. As there were no performance commitment and shares issued were nonrefundable, the Company recognized the full amount of the fair value of the common stock issued as stock compensation expense on its statement of Operations for the period ended June 30, 2017.

In November 2015, the Company entered into a four year employment agreement with one of its employees in which the employee was granted 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares vest equally in six month periods over the four years. The fair value of the shares on the date of grant was $400,000, which is being amortized ratably over the four year service period.

Organizational History

Solis Tek Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 2, 2007 as Cinjet, Inc. (“Cinjet”). Effective September 1, 2015, Cinjet changed its corporate name to Solis Tek Inc. On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Solis Tek Inc., a California corporation (“STI”), and CJA Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into STI (the “Merger”), with STI surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the sole Director of the Company, effective June 23, 2015. The Merger closed on June 23, 2015.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of STI common stock issued and outstanding was converted automatically into the right to receive. 166 shares of the common stock of the Company, with an aggregate of 26,187,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the former shareholders of STI.

Upon the closing of the Merger, STI paid a total of $22,500 to four shareholders of the Company for the cancellation of a total of 61,297,002 shares of the Company’s common stock. Also at the closing of the Merger, STI paid $198,100 to the Company to settle and pay liabilities of $405,932, which represented all of the then current liabilities of the Company. After the closing, a total of 29,551,998 shares of the Company were outstanding.

Upon completion of the Merger, the former stockholders of STI owned approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and the holders of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger owned the balance. As the former owners and management of STI have voting and operating control of the Company after the Merger, the transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization with the STI deemed the acquiring companies for accounting purposes, and the Company deemed the legal acquirer. Due to the change in control, the consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of STI prior to the Merger, and that of the combined company following the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction and the cash paid by the Company of $248,980 (including $28,380 of transaction costs) has been reflected as a cost of the transaction.

Overview of Business

The Company is focused on the research, design, development and manufacturing of advanced, energy efficient indoor horticulture lighting and ancillary equipment. Our vision is to apply the latest advances in high efficiency lighting and controls technology as well as effective manufacturing techniques to deliver highly differentiated products with clear benefits at competitive prices to the greenhouse and indoor horticulture markets.

The Company, through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Solis Tek Inc. a California corporation and Solis Tek East, Corporation, an entity incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey, are in the operations of designing, developing and sourcing a line of Solis Tek Digital Ballasts intended for use in high intensity lighting systems used for horticulture. An electrical ballast is a device intended to limit the amount of current in an electric circuit. A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps, to limit the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to destructive levels due to the tube’s negative resistance characteristic. Since the commencement of operations, our product line has evolved from digital ballasts to a line of lighting products including a line of specialty ballasts ranging from 400 watts to 1,000 watts with various features, a line of specialty metal halide digital lamps, a line of reflectors, high intensity lighting accessories.

The Company, through its third wholly owned subsidiary, Zelda Horticulture, Inc. a California corporation, introduced an organic solutions and nutrient line which was launched in 2016. Zelda’s in-house Research and Development department formulates unique plant nutrient additives designed to create healthier plants which yield greater plant aroma, volume, and oil production and intensity in the growing cycle. The end users of the new nutrient additive products are the same existing Solis Tek Inc. lighting clients, hence, the company will leverage its existing sales and distribution channels to gain maximum efficiencies with this new subsidiary division. Zelda’s nutrient products are trademark protected, created with 100% organic compounds, contain proprietary ingredients, formulated and produced in our own facility in Carson, CA, and have been thoroughly vetted by our customers and tested by outside independent third-party labs, consultants and growers. The nutrient additive products are typically used by our customers as a part of their daily plant nutrient feed program, creating a much tighter transaction interval relationship with our client base than the lighting division realizes due to those product lifecycles.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

Inventories

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,441,289 and $2,125,830, respectively, an increase of $315,459 or 15%. The increase was primarily due to more market penetration within our hydroponic customers and commercial facilities during the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the second quarter of 2016.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, was $1,521,410 and $1,324,165, respectively. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, was $919,879 and $801,665, respectively. The increase in gross profit of $118,214, or 15% was primarily due to increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 remained unchanged at 37.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,391,231 and $765,531, respectively, an increase of $1,625,700 or 212%. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to increase in payroll, marketing, travel, trade shows, outbound freight, and sales commission to support the increase in revenues and stock compensation costs and increase in bad debt expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 stock compensation expense was $1,191,697 compared to $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $82,500 and $58,000, respectively, an increase of $24,500 or 42%. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to fair value of common stock ($25,000) issued to an employee. The R&D expense was incurred for the improvement in existing products and development of new products.

Net Income (Loss)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used $514,137 in operating activities, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $576,650 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash was primarily used in increase in accounts receivable to support higher revenue, reduction in related party vendor for inventory purchases and was offset in part with reduction in inventory and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash flows used in investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used $3,200 in the property and equipment for purchase of certain molds.

Cash flows provided by financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company generated $669,134 from financing activities compared to cash used in financing activities of $361,651for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company raised a $400,000 through an issuance of common stock, and proceeds from notes payable to related parties of $300,000 and part of the proceeds were used to pay notes payable-related party of $20,000 and payments on loans payable and capital lease obligation.

We estimate the Company currently has sufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months.

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of common stock, a line of credit and loans from a third party financial institution related parties, and operations. We anticipate that our primary capital source will be positive cash flow from operations. If our sales goals do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating costs and achieve positive cash flow from operations. However, we may not generate sufficient revenues from product sales in the future to achieve profitable operations. If we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company has raised a total of $300,000 through an issuance of 375,000 shares under Private Placement Offering per Reg. D.

Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our GAAP results, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.

As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Accounting Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on management’s evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2016.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting primarily attributable to (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation. These weaknesses are due to our inadequate staffing during the period covered by this report and our lack of working capital to hire additional staff. Management has retained an outside, independent financial consultant to record and review all financial data, as well as prepare our financial reports, in order to mitigate this weakness. Although management will periodically re-evaluate this situation, at this point it considers that the risk associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost justified. We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
