GROW SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization and Operations
Grow Solutions Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as LightTouch Vein & Laser, Inc. and Strachan, Inc.) (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 1, 1981. Currently, the Company provides indoor and outdoor gardening supplies to the rapidly growing garden industry.
The Merger
Effective April 28, 2015, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “the Merger”) with Grow Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Grow Solutions”) and LightTouch Vein & Laser Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“LightTouch Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Merger, Grow Solutions merged with LightTouch Acquisition and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Grow Solutions’ shareholders and certain creditors of the Company received 44,005,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Grow Solutions. Following the closing of the Grow Solutions Agreement, Grow Solutions’ business became the primary focus of the Company and Grow Solutions management assumed control of the management of the Company with the former director of the Company resigning upon closing of the Agreement. Shareholders maintained 1,886,612 shares as part of the recapitalization.
As a result of the Merger, the Company discontinued its pre-Merger business. The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” and Grow Solutions, was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of Grow Solutions and will be recorded at the historical cost basis and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger will include the assets and liabilities of Grow Solutions., historical operations of the Company, and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Merger. As a result of the issuance of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the Merger. The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All historical share amounts of the accounting acquirer were retrospectively recast to reflect the share exchange.
The Acquisition
Effective May 13, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “OneLove Agreement’) with Grow Solutions Acquisition LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Grow Solutions Acquisition”), One Love Garden Supply LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“OneLove”), and all of the members of OneLove (the “Members”). On the Closing Date, OneLove merged with Grow Solutions Acquisition and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the OneLove Agreement, the Members received (i) 1,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Equity”), (ii) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$200,000) (the “Cash”), and (iii) a cash flow promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 issued by OneLove in favor of the Members (the “Cash Flow Note”), whereby each fiscal quarter, upon the Company recording on its financial statements $40,000 in US GAAP Net Income (“Net Income”) from sales of the Company’s products (the “Net Income Threshold”), the Company shall pay to the Members 33% of the Company’s Net Income generated above the Net Income Threshold. The aforementioned obligations owed under the Cash Flow Note shall extinguish upon the earlier of (i) payment(s) by Company in an amount equal to $50,000 in the aggregate or (ii) May 5, 2016 (collectively, the Cash Flow Note, the Equity, and the Cash, the “Consideration”). The Consideration provided to the Members was in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of OneLove. Following the Closing Date, OneLove’s business was acquired by the Company and the Company’s management assumed control of the management of OneLove with the former managing members of OneLove resigning from OneLove upon closing of the OneLove Agreement.
5 |
The Company recorded the purchase of OneLove using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non-controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further, the Company commenced reporting the results of OneLove on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the acquisition
The Company consolidated OneLove as of the effective date of the agreement, and the results of operations of the Company include that of OneLove. The Company recognized net revenues attributable to OneLove of $1,501,284 the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Asset Purchase Agreement
On September 23, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) by and among OneLove and D&B Industries, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as Hygrow. On the Closing Date, the Company purchased all of the assets, rights, properties, and business of Hygrow including certain debts of Hygrow (the “Assets”). Under the terms and conditions of the APA, and for full consideration of the transfer of such Assets to the Company on the Closing Date, the Company issued Hygrow three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of common stock of the Company and a payment to Hygrow in the amount of $5,200 in cash. Following the Closing Date the Company’s management assumed control of the management of Hygrow with the former managing members of Hygrow resigning upon closing of the APA.
The Company recorded the purchase of Hygrow using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non-controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further, the Company commenced reporting the results of Hygrow on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the acquisition.

The Financing
Also during the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed a closing of a private placement offering (the “Offering”) of 2,705,000 Units, at a purchase price of $0.20 per Unit, each Unit consisting of 1 share of the Company’s common stock, and 1 stock purchase warrants. The warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per warrant into a share of the Company’s common stock and have a maturity of 3 years.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the closing were $541,000 (the Company recorded $332,570 for the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability).
Note 2 — Going Concern and Management’s Plan
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital of $290,315 and an accumulated deficit of $1,846,759. The Company has a history net losses since inception. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s projections and estimates are accurate. In the event that the Company does not receive anticipated proceeds operations and financings, it is possible that the Company would not have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the next year. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company is actively managing and controlling the Company’s cash outflows. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s primary sources of operating funds since inception have been private equity, and debt and equity financings. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its history of raising funds; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2016. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been omitted. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2016 or any other period.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, One Love Garden Supply LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
(1) | Fair value of long–lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long–lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long–lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under–performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events. |
8 |
(2) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry–forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred a loss, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors. | |
(3) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments. | |
(4) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of derivative liability: Management utilizes an option pricing model to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities. The model includes subjective assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole 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.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $411,170 and $814,663, respectively. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances may be uninsured or in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limits.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of finished goods at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
9 |
Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs
Debt discounts and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements using the straight-line method. Unamortized discounts are netted against long-term debt.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances. The Company performs the annual assessment on December 31.
In accordance with ASC 350–20 “Goodwill”, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two–step goodwill impairment test. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform the two–step impairment test for that reporting unit.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company utilizes an option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
10 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Equity–based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation". Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a five year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is benchmarked against similar companies in a similar industry over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best estimate.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the equity–based compensation could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505-40, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instruments is re-measured each reporting period over the requisite service period.
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders 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, which is the case for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 presented in these consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. In July 2015, the effective date was delayed one year by a vote by the FASB. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans would apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application would be permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has reviewed the applicable ASU and has not, at the current time, quantified the effects of this pronouncement.
In January 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging” (topic 815). The FASB issued this update to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
12 |
In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Note 4 — Notes Receivable and accrued interest
In April 2014, the Company signed a letter of intent with Delta Entertainment Group (‘Delta”) to enter into a reverse merger transaction. In exchange for Delta’s exclusivity until the earlier of the execution of a stock exchange agreement or June 30, 2014, the Company paid Delta $25,000. Delta was to use the $25,000 to become current with its public filings. Since the stock exchange transaction was not executed by June 30, 2014, the $25,000 that the Company provided to Delta reverted to a one year note with an interest rate at 8% per annum. The Company determined that since Delta lacked the financial resources to get current in its public filings, the collectability of the note was doubtful. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any interest income on the note and has booked a 100% reserve against the note receivable.
Note 5 — Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consisted of the following at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||||

Property and equipment, net | $ | 40,441 | $ | 20,818 |
Depreciation expense for the year ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,691 and $0, respectively.
Note 6 — Convertible notes
Debt Offering (A)
On September 2, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the issuance of a convertible note to a third party lender for $120,000. The note accrues interest at 12% per annum maturing on July 2, 2016. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to approximately 58% of the average of the lowest 3 trading prices for the common stock during the 20 day trading period ending on the latest and complete trading day prior to the conversion.
Debt Offering (B)
Effective December 7, 2015, Grow Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, Grow Solutions, Inc. and One Love Garden Supply LLC as joint and several guarantors (such guarantors, collectively, the “Subsidiaries” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) and TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership, as lender (“TCA”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA agreed to loan the Company up to a maximum of $3,000,000 for the Company’s product division, construction and renovation of two stores, and inventory. An initial amount of $950,000 was funded by TCA at the closing of the Credit Agreement. Any increase in the amount extended to the Borrowers shall be at the discretion of TCA.
13 |
The amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement are evidenced by a Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) and the repayment of the Revolving Note is secured by a first position security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in favor of TCA, as evidenced by a Security Agreement by and between the Company and TCA (the “Company Security Agreement”) and a first position security interest in substantially all of the Subsidiaries’ assets in favor of TCA, as evidenced by a Security Agreement by and among the Subsidiaries and TCA (the “Subsidiaries Security Agreement” and, together with the Company Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”). The Revolving Note is in the original principal amount of $950,000, is due and payable, along with interest thereon, on June 7, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and bears interest at the rate of 18% per annum, with the first four months of payments by the Company under the Revolving Note being interest only. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the interest rate shall increase to the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The payments under the Revolving Note are amortized over 18 months.
Only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or mutual agreement between TCA and the Company, at the sole option of TCA, TCA may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Revolving Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such applicable conversion date, in each case subject to TCA not being able to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon any conversion.
As further consideration for TCA entering into and structuring the Credit Agreement, the Company shall pay to TCA an advisory fee by issuing shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Advisory Fee Shares”) equal to $325,000 (the “Advisory Fee”). In the event that the Company pays TCA all of the outstanding obligations due under the Credit Agreement on or before June 7, 2016, the Advisory Fee shall be reduced to $292,500. Additionally, as long as there is (i) no Event of Default, (ii) no occurrence of any other event that would cause an Event of Default, and (iii) the Company makes timely Advisory Fee Payments (as defined below), TCA agrees that it will not sell any Advisory Fee Shares in the Principal Trading Market (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prior to the Maturity Date, in exchange for monthly cash payments by the Company beginning on July 4, 2016 and ending on the Maturity Date as set forth in the Credit Agreement, which shall be credited and applied towards the repayment of the Advisory Fee (the “Advisory Fee Payments”). In the event that TCA shall sell the Advisory Fee Shares, as long as there is no Event of Default, TCA shall not, during any given calendar week, sell Advisory Fee Shares in excess of 25% of the average weekly volume of the common stock of the Company on the Principal Trading Market over the immediately preceding calendar week.
The Company booked the $325,000 as debt discount.
The Company issued 2,167,933 shares of common stock to the creditor as compensation for financing costs of $325,000. The issuance of the 2,167,933 shares has been recorded at par value with a corresponding decrease to paid-in capital. Upon the sale of the shares by the creditor, the financing cost liability will be reduced by the amount of the proceeds with a corresponding increase to paid-in capital. The Company will still be liable for any shortfall from the proceeds realized by the creditor. The ultimate amount to be recorded in satisfaction of the debt will not exceed the balance of the financing cost recorded.
Derivative Analysis
Because the conversion feature included in the convertible note payable has full reset adjustments tied to future issuances of equity securities by the Company, it is subject to derivative liability treatment under Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“Section 815-40-15”).
Generally accepted accounting principles require that:
a. | Derivative financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and |
b. | The classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified as a result of events during the reporting period then ended. |
14 |
Upon issuance of the note, a debt discount was recorded and any difference in comparison to the face value of the note, representing the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, was immediately charged to interest expense. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. There was unamortized debt discount of $771,728 and $961,237 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
The fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. See Note 7 for the estimates and assumptions used.
Note 7 — Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the private placement and debt transactions during the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 4,955,000 warrants, to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $0.40 and a three year term. The Company identified certain put features embedded in the warrants that potentially could result in a net cash settlement in the event of a fundamental transaction, requiring the Company to classify the warrants as a derivative liability.
In connection with the issuance of a convertible note as discussed above in Note 5, the Company evaluated the note agreement to determine if the agreement contained any embedded components that would qualify the agreement as a derivative. The Company identified certain put features embedded in the convertible note agreement that potentially could result in a net cash settlement in the event of a fundamental transaction, requiring the Company to classify the conversion feature as a derivative liability.
Level 3 Financial Liabilities – Derivative convertible note and warrant liabilities
The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the year ended March 31, 2016, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Balance at March 31, 2016 | |||||||||||||
Embedded conversion feature | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 673,402 | $ | 673,402 | ||||||||

15 |
The fair value of the derivative feature of the convertible notes and warrants on the balance sheet date were calculated using an option model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:
March 31, 2016 | ||||
Risk free interest rate | 0.66 | % | ||
Dividend yield | 0.00 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 114% - 116 | % | ||
Remaining term | 1.60 - 2.44 years |
Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note with a similar term on the date of the grant.
Dividend yield: The Company uses a 0% expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.
Volatility: The Company calculates the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price for a period consistent with the warrants’ expected term.
Remaining term: The Company’s remaining term is based on the remaining contractual maturity of the warrants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company marked the derivative feature of the warrants to fair value and recorded a gain of $84,036 relating to the change in fair value.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Grow Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are (collectively, the “Filings”) based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2016, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $(362,179) compared to $15,800 provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This change is primarily attributable to the net loss for the current period offset by accretion of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $189,509, $24,816 and $, respectively. These increases were offset by changes in accounts receivable, inventory and the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $57,758, $255,643 and $84,036, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $21,314 for machinery and equipment purchased during the period.
Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $20,000 and $320,000. These amounts represent repayments of outstanding notes payable during each period and proceeds from issuance of common stock.
Liquidity
At March 31, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $411,170 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $231,911. The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand to meet its operating needs through the next 12 months.

All references to the APA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the text of such exhibits.
Credit Agreement
Effective December 7, 2015, Grow Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, Grow Solutions, Inc. and One Love Garden Supply LLC as joint and several guarantors (such guarantors, collectively, the “Subsidiaries” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) and TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership, as lender (“TCA”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA agreed to loan the Company up to a maximum of $3,000,000 for the Company’s product division, construction and renovation of two stores, and inventory. An initial amount of $950,000 was funded by TCA at the closing of the Credit Agreement. Any increase in the amount extended to the Borrowers shall be at the discretion of TCA.
The amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement are evidenced by a Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) and the repayment of the Revolving Note is secured by a first position security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in favor of TCA, as evidenced by a Security Agreement by and between the Company and TCA (the “Company Security Agreement”) and a first position security interest in substantially all of the Subsidiaries’ assets in favor of TCA, as evidenced by a Security Agreement by and among the Subsidiaries and TCA (the “Subsidiaries Security Agreement” and, together with the Company Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”). The Revolving Note is in the original principal amount of $950,000, is due and payable, along with interest thereon, on June 7, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and bears interest at the rate of 18% per annum, with the first four months of payments by the Company under the Revolving Note being interest only. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the interest rate shall increase to the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The payments under the Revolving Note are amortized over 18 months.
Only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or mutual agreement between TCA and the Company, at the sole option of TCA, TCA may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Revolving Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such applicable conversion date, in each case subject to TCA not being able to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon any conversion.
23 |
As further consideration for TCA entering into and structuring the Credit Agreement, the Company shall pay to TCA an advisory fee by issuing shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Advisory Fee Shares”) equal to $325,000 (the “Advisory Fee”). In the event that the Company pays TCA all of the outstanding obligations due under the Credit Agreement on or before June 7, 2015, the Advisory Fee shall be reduced to $292,500. Additionally, as long as there is (i) no Event of Default (ii) no occurrence of any other event that would cause an Event of Default, and (iii) the Company makes timely Advisory Fee Payments (as defined below), TCA agrees that it will not sell any Advisory Fee Shares in the Principal Trading Market (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prior to the Maturity Date, in exchange for monthly cash payments by the Company beginning on July 4, 2016 and ending on the Maturity Date as set forth in the Credit Agreement, which shall be credited and applied towards the repayment of the Advisory Fee (the “Advisory Fee Payments”). In the event that TCA shall sell the Advisory Fee Shares, as long as there is no Event of Default, TCA shall not, during any given calendar week, sell Advisory Fee Shares in excess of 25% of the average weekly volume of shares reported by Bloomberg.
As additional security, the Company pledged its ownership interests in the Subsidiaries, pursuant to a Stock Pledge and Escrow Agreement entered into as of December 7, 2015 (the “Pledge Agreement”).
The above descriptions of the Credit Agreement, Revolving Note, Security Agreements and Pledge Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the documents themselves, filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2015, as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.”
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed 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.
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
24 |
Income Taxes
We comply with section 740 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Stock Based Compensation
All stock-based payments to employees, non-employee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period. Stock-based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are non-forfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
25 |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2016.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Other than as disclosed below, there were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 other than those previously reported in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company completed a closing of a private placement offering of 2,025,000 units, at a purchase price of $0.20 per unit to ten investors (the “Offering”). Each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, and one common stock purchase warrant. The warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per warrant into a share of the Company’s common stock and have a maturity of three years. The aggregate gross proceeds from the closing were $405,000.
On September 2, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) to issue and sell a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note” and together with the SPA, the “Transaction Documents”) to an institutional investor (the “Investor”), in the principal amount of $120,000.00 (the “Principal Amount”). In accordance with the terms of the Note, the Investor shall be entitled to convert a portion or all of the Principal Amount and interest due and outstanding under the Note into shares of common stock equal to 48% of the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, on or about September 3, 2015 the Company received $120,000 in funding from the Investor (the “Closing Date”).
Additionally, on September 8, 2015, the Company sold 425,000 units, at a purchase price of $0.20 per unit to one investor (the “Subscription”). Each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, and one common stock purchase warrant. The warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per warrant into a share of the Company’s common stock and have a maturity of three years. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Subscription was $85,000.
On September 23, 2015, the Company issued three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of common stock of the Company to D&B Industries, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as Hygrow, as consideration for all of its assets, rights, properties, and business, including certain debts of D&B Industries, LLC.
These securities were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
There has been no default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default, with respect to any indebtedness of the Company.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
Not applicable.
