GROWLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Interim Results
The financial statements at June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which our management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of our operation results in future periods.
Phototron, Inc. Reverse Merger
Phototron, Inc. (“Phototron”) was incorporated in California in 2002. On February 14, 2011, Phototron entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“PHI Merger Agreement”) with PHI Merger Corporation, a California corporation (“PHI MergerCo”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.) (“we,” “us,” “our” and “our company”). The closing (the “PHI Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the PHI Merger Agreement (the “PHI Merger”) occurred on March 9, 2011. At the Closing, (a) PHI MergerCo was merged with and into Phototron; (b) Phototron became our wholly-owned subsidiary; (c) all of Phototron’s shares and options outstanding prior to the PHI Merger were exchanged (or assumed, in the case of options) for comparable securities of our company; and (d) 95% of our fully-diluted shares were owned by Phototron’s former shareholders and option holders. At the Closing, we issued a total of 130,621,421 shares of our common stock to Phototron’s former shareholders, in exchange for the 1,666,666 shares of Phototron’s common stock outstanding prior to the PHI Merger. Upon the effectiveness of the PHI Merger, 8,662,262 shares of our common stock were maintained by our existing stockholders. In connection with the PHI Merger, we changed our name from Catalyst Lighting Group, Inc. to Phototron Holdings, Inc., on March 9, 2011.
Since former holders of Phototron’s common stock and options to purchase common stock owned, after the PHI Merger, approximately 95% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management were members of Phototron’s management, Phototron was deemed to be the acquiring company and we were deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the PHI Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP).
SG Technologies Corp Reverse Merger
On March 21, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SGT Merger Corporation, a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”), SG Technologies Corp, a Nevada corporation (“SGT”), Sterling C. Scott (the “SGT Representative”), and W-Net Fund I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and current holder of our common stock (the “Investor Representative”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Surviving Corporation”); and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of a new series of our preferred stock, which was designated Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and has the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), which was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, we issued to SGT’s former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
-6- |
Since after the Merger former holders of SGT’s common stock owned in excess of 50% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management are members of SGT’s management, SGT is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiaries reflect the historical activity of SGT, and the historical stockholders’ equity of SGT has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to the differences in par value offset to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we are deemed to have issued an additional 152,343,383 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger. Net liabilities of $542,716 have been capitalized as part of the purchase price.
On August 6, 2012, Phototron Holdings, Inc. merged GrowLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Phototron Holdings, Inc., with and into Phototron Holdings, Inc. pursuant to the Certificate of Ownership and Merger filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 25, 2012 to be effective August 6, 2012. As a result of the merger, on August 6, 2012, Phototron Holdings, Inc.’s corporate named changed from Phototron Holdings, Inc. to GrowLife, Inc.
We design and manufacture indoor mini-greenhouses (“Phototron Units”) capable of growing almost any herb, vegetable, flower, fruit or terrestrial plant better, stronger and faster than traditional farming methods. We also formulate and sell horticultural seeds, mineral nutrient solutions, growing mediums and germination kits to facilitate hydroponic gardening through the use of our Phototron Units, in addition to replacement parts for our Phototron Units to facilitate moderate customization. In addition, we manufacture hi-powered LED (Light Emitting Diode) grow light products for indoor horticulture, sold under the brand name “Stealth Grow LED.” Through SGT, we provide USA engineered, energy efficient and “green” technology for healthy and abundant indoor gardening. Stealth Grow LED products are available through more than 2,500 hydroponic retailers, and on-line resellers in the USA and Canada. We market our products under the Phototron and Stealth Grow LED brand names.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $878,406, cash used in operations was $282,323 and had a deficiency in stockholders’ equity of $797,953. The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception, and has financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the recurring issuance of notes payable and advances from a related party. These facts indicate that the Company might not be able to continue as a going concern.
Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company does not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company needs to raise additional funds in order to satisfy its future working capital requirements.
Continued negative cash flows and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, as a result of which the Company may have to reduce the scope of its planned operations. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representation of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in our consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of sales returns, inventory reserves and accruals for potential liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to equity instruments and share based payments.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized on the sale of a product when the product is shipped, which is when the risk of loss transfers to our customers, and collection of the sale is reasonably assured. A product is not shipped without an order from the customer and the completion of credit acceptance procedures. The majority of our sales are cash or credit card; however, we occasionally extend terms to our customers. Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically for collectability.
Sales Returns
We allow customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in our sales terms and conditions. It is our practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, our estimates of sales returns, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. We record estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount we expect to realize upon its subsequent disposition. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was no reserve for sales returns, which are minimal based upon our historical experience.
Warranty Costs
Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Estimates are based, in part, on historical experience. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we negotiated a $46,000 credit with one of our vendors for future expected warranty repairs to defective units. This amount will be used to offset expected repairs in future periods. As of June 30, 2012, this amount is included in accrued liabilities. There was no reserve for future warranty costs at December 31, 2011.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling fees billed to customers of $11,340 and nil, respectively, were included in revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling fees billed to customers of $12,539 and nil, respectively, were included in revenues.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling costs of $22,671 and $9,833, respectively, were included in cost of goods sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling costs of $29,256 and $15,506, respectively, were included in cost of goods sold.
-8- |
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $48,765 and $15,157, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, advertising costs of $73,781 and $40,174, respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2009, we adopted all of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 - | Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs based on our assumptions. |
The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2012.
Level 1 | Level2 | Level3 | Total | |
Fair value of derivative liability at June 30, 2012 | $ - | $ - | $ 968,325 | $ 968,325 |
Fair value of derivative liability at December 31, 2011 | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - |
Derivative financial instruments
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
-9- |
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.

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. The 152,343,383 shares issued to the legal acquirer are included in the weighted average share calculation from April 5, 2012, the date of the exchange agreement.
Stock Based Compensation
We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, whereas the award is measured at its fair value at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity”, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have adopted the ASU as required. The ASU affects our fair value disclosures, but will not affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the ASU as required. It has no affect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
-10- |
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the affects adoption of ASU 2011-08 may have on our goodwill impairment testing.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION
On March 21, 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement. The Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred. At the Closing, we issued to SGT’s former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Since after the Merger former holders of SGT’s common stock owned in excess of 50% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management are members of SGT’s management, SGT is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiaries reflect the historical activity of SGT, and the historical stockholders’ equity of SGT has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to the differences in par value offset to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we are deemed to have issued an additional 152,343,383 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger.
The Company has estimated that the fair value of the 152,343,383 common shares issued to the former stockholders of the Growlife Inc. to be $300,000; however, a formal valuation is underway and actual valuation may differ. The purchase price has been allocated to specific identifiable tangible and intangible assets at their fair value at the date of the purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, as follows
Tangible assets | $ | 248,494 | ||
Intangible assets | 225,000 | |||
Goodwill | 634,128 | |||
Total | 1,107,622 | |||
Less fair value of liabilities assumed | (807,622 | ) | ||
Purchase price | $ | 300,000 |
The intangible assets relate to customer lists and will be amortized over their respective life of three years.

Debt discount related to conversion feature | (543,063 | ) | — | |||||
Total | $ | 669,002 | $ | — | ||||
(A) In conjunction with the Merger on April 5, 2012, we issued certain 6% senior secured convertible notes payable in the amount of $670,129 and due on April 15, 2015. The notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the company and three trademarks. Interest is accrued and is due at maturity. In the event of a default, the note holders may declare the entire principal and interest due and payable. The default interest rate is 12% per annum. The notes are convertible into common stock with an initial conversion price of $0.035 per share. The note conversion price will be subject to specified adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, including conversions or exchanges of such. If additional shares of our capital stock are issued, except in specified exempt issuances, for consideration which is less than the then existing note conversion price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then such conversion price would be subject to a “full ratchet” adjustment that generally reduces the conversion price to equal the price in the Dilutive Issuance, regardless of the size of the Dilutive Issuance.
In accordance with current accounting guidelines, the Company determined that the full ratchet adjustment of the conversion feature created a derivative liability upon issuance. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the Notes was determined by management to be $331,463 using a weighted average Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (See Note 7). This amount was recorded as a derivative liability and a valuation discount upon issuance. The valuation discount will be amortized as an expense over the 3 year life of the notes.
(B) In connection with the reverse merger, we issued 6% notes payable in the amount of $500,000 to the former note holders and stockholders of SGT in exchange for notes of $218,000 previously issued by the company and $282,00 of advances that were due to our Chief Executive Officer. The Notes are unsecured and pay 6% interest per annum with a maturity date of April 15, 2015. Our obligations under the Notes would accelerate upon bankruptcy, any default by us of our payment obligations under the Notes or the breach of any provision of any material agreement between us and such note holders. Default interest will accrue after an event of default at an annual rate of 12%. The Notes are convertible at any time into common stock at a specified conversion price, which will initially be $0.035 per share. The conversion price will be subject to specified adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. In the event a dilutive issuance occurs such conversion price would be subject to a “full ratchet” adjustment that generally reduces the conversion price to equal the price in the dilutive issuance, regardless of the size of the dilutive issuance.
In accordance with current accounting guidelines, the Company determined that the full ratchet adjustment of the conversion feature created a derivative liability upon issuance. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the Notes was determined by management to be $245,920 using a weighted average Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (See Note 7). This amount was recorded as a derivative liability and a valuation discount upon issuance. The valuation discount will be amortized as an expense over the 3 year life of the notes.
-15- |
(C) On June 12, 2012, we issued a $25,000 unsecured convertible note payable with an interest rate of 6% per annum. The note is unsecured and is due on June 13, 2015. Interest is accrued monthly and is payable at maturity. The Note is convertible at any time into common stock at a specified conversion price, which will initially be $0.035 per share. The conversion price will be subject to specified adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. In the event a dilutive issuance occurs such conversion price would be subject to a “full ratchet” adjustment that generally reduces the conversion price to equal the price in the dilutive issuance, regardless of the size of the dilutive issuance.
In accordance with current accounting guidelines, the Company determined that the full ratchet adjustment of the conversion feature created a derivative liability upon issuance. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the Notes was determined by management to be $14,943 using a weighted average Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (See Note 7). This amount was recorded as a derivative liability and a valuation discount upon issuance. The valuation discount will be amortized as an expense over the 3 year life of the notes.
The convertible notes are summarized as follows:

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement that provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in the pronouncement on accounting for derivatives. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or “down-round” provisions). For example, warrants or conversion features with such provisions are no longer recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.
-16- |
We evaluated whether convertible debt and warrants to acquire stock of the Company contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price under the respective convertible debt and warrant agreements. We determined that the conversion feature in the convertible notes described in Note 6 contained such provisions and recorded such instruments as derivative liabilities. Derivative liabilities were valued using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which approximates the Monte Carlo and other binomial valuation techniques, with the following assumptions:
Fair value at | ||||||||
June 30, | Date of | |||||||
2012 | Issuance | |||||||
Conversion feature : | (unaudited) | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | ||||
Expected volatility | 74 | % | 74 | % | ||||
Expected life (in years) | 2.83 | 3.08 | ||||||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Fair value | $ | 968,325 | $ | 592,326 |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company based the expected volatility assumption on a volatility index of peer companies as the Company did not have sufficient market information to estimate the volatility of its own stock, and the expected life of the instruments is determined by the expiration date of the instrument. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common stockholders in the future.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge to other expense to reflect the change in fair value of the derivatives of $375,999 for both periods.
NOTE 10 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
In conjunction with the reverse merger, the Company is considered to have issued 152,343,383 shares to the former shareholders of the Company. (See Note 3)
On April 19, 2012, the Company’s landlord returned 1,884,796 shares of the Company’s common stock that was previously issued to the landlord as part of a settlement. The Company did not provide any additional compensation to the landlord and no gain or loss has been reflected.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 292,858 shares of its common stock for services. These shares were valued at the fair value at the date of issuance of $10,250 and reflected as compensation in the accompanying June 30, 2012 statement of operations.
Prior to the transaction with GrowLife, Inc. (formerly Phototron Holdings, Inc.), the members of SGT contributed $120,402 during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2012, captioned “Risk Factors.”
Overview
On March 21, 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement and the Closing of the transactions occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of Series A Preferred Stock. At the Closing, we issued to SGT’s former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
We design and manufacture indoor mini-greenhouses capable of growing almost any herb, vegetable, flower, fruit or terrestrial plant better, stronger and faster than traditional farming methods. Our products (“Phototron Units”), consisting of 21” x 39” units and 21” x 51” units, provide between 18,900 and 36,000 lumens of light. Phototron Units allow users to precisely control what a plant receives, grow crops densely, avoid using pesticides, increase yields and automatically water plants. We also formulate and sell horticultural seeds, mineral nutrient solutions, growing mediums and germination kits to facilitate hydroponic gardening through the use of our Phototron Units, in addition to replacement parts for our Phototron Units to facilitate moderate customization. In addition, through SGT, we manufacture hi-powered LED (Light Emitting Diode) grow light products for indoor horticulture, sold under the brand name “Stealth Grow LED.” We provide USA engineered, energy efficient and “green” technology for healthy and abundant indoor gardening. Stealth Grow LED products are available through more than 2,500 hydroponic retailers, and on-line resellers in the USA and Canada. We market our products under the Phototron and Stealth Grow LED brand names.
Historically, we have funded our working capital needs primarily through the sale of Phototron Units, re-order products, the issuance of short and long term promissory notes and the sale of shares of our capital stock.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to June 30, 2011
Revenue and cost of revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our revenue was $208,446, which was $44,402 (17%) less than in the three months ended June 30, 2011. During the most recent quarter, management was focused on completing the reverse merger and integrating its systems, facilities, policies and procedures and developing a new strategic direction for the company. The gross profit margin during the three months ended June 30, 2012, was 44% compared to 29% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and reflects a change in the customer base from lower margin distributors to higher margin sales to retail customers.

Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our general and administrative expenses were $409,190 compared to $108,680 during the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $300,510. During 2011, we were a privately held company and did not incur any of the expense of being a public company. Those expenses include professional fees for legal, accounting, consultants and directors and officers insurance. Additionally, we hired most of Phototron’s general, administrative and sales staff; thereby incurring higher wage expense during the current quarter. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will remain at, or near, the current level for the foreseeable future.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $450,187 of non-cash expenses, including $375,999 change in derivative liability, $26,563 fair value of vested stock options, $2,842 of depreciation expense and $44,783 of interest expense related to the amortization of discount on our subordinated notes payable. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we did not incur any non-cash expenses.
Loss
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $756,720 compared to a net loss of $38,855 during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we did not incur any non-cash expenses.
Loss
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a loss of $878,406, compared to a net loss of $102,572 during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of $1,020,802 compared to $382,863 at December 31, 2011. We have relied on funds generated through operations, through loans and through selling shares of our common stock in a series of private placements.
As of June 30, 2012, we had no contractual obligations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in operations was $281,588 compared to cash used of $55,111 during the same period in the prior year. Those expenses include professional fees for legal, accounting, consultants and directors and officers insurance. Additionally, we hired most of Phototron’s general, administrative and sales staff; thereby incurring higher wage expense during the current quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $450,187 of non-cash expenses, including $375,999 change in derivative liability, $26,563 fair value of vested stock options, $2,842 of depreciation expense,$49,283 of interest expense related to the amortization of discount on our subordinated notes payable and $10,250 of services rendered in exchange for shares of our common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we did not incur any non-cash expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we received $9,825 in cash from our reverse merger with Phototron Holdings, Inc. We had no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, financing activities provided $249,799 of cash consisting of $104,397 of advances from a related party, $120,402 of equity contributions and $25,000 from the issuance of new notes payable. In conjunction with the Merger on April 5, 2012, we issued $500,000 of 6% convertible notes payable to the former note holders of SGT in exchange for the notes previously issued. The notes are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.035 per share. The conversion price is subject to certain adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. In the event a dilutive issuance occurs such conversion price would be subject to a “full ratchet” adjustment that generally reduces the conversion price to equal the price in the dilutive issuance, regardless of the size of the dilutive issuance. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these Notes will have a derivative feature and accounted separately from the underlying notes payable.
Unless our operations generate significant revenues and cash flows from operating activities, our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financing, other collaborative agreements and strategic alliances. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term. We also intend to obtain, where appropriate, increases of the amounts available to us under existing revolving promissory notes. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2012 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
• Our information systems lack sufficient controls limiting access to key applications and data; and
• Effective controls to ensure the accuracy, valuation and timeliness of the financial accounting process around inventory, including a lack of accuracy and basis for valuation resulting in adjustments to the amount of cost of revenues and the carrying amount of inventory.
Due to the identified material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2012.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation of the Material Weaknesses
During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, no changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are investing in efforts to improve the control environment and intend to commit resources to the continuous improvement of the design, implementation, documentation, testing, and monitoring of our internal controls.
Remediation Plans
Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Board of Directors, intends to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and to address the material weaknesses described above. In addition to improving the effectiveness and compliance with key controls, our remediation efforts will involve ongoing business and accounting process improvements and the implementation of key system enhancements. The process and system enhancements will be generally designed to simplify and standardize business practices and to improve timeliness and access to associated accounting data through increased systems automation, appropriate limitations around IT access, as well as timely testing of controls throughout the fiscal year. While we expect remedial actions to be essentially implemented by the end of fiscal 2012, some may not be in place for a sufficient period of time to help us certify that material weaknesses have been fully remediated as of the end of fiscal year 2012. We will continue to develop our remediation plans and implement additional measures during the remainder of fiscal 2012 and possibly into fiscal 2013.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
