PHOTOTRON HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

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 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.

 

A condition to the closing of the PHI Merger was Phototron’s consummation of a financing transaction generating gross proceeds to Phototron of $999,989 in exchange for 666,666 shares of Phototron’s common stock. Those shares were exchanged in the PHI Merger for 52,248,537 shares of our common stock. The sale of Phototron’s common stock closed concurrently with the signing of the PHI Merger Agreement.

 

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 are members of Phototron’s management, Phototron is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are 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). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Phototron Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“we,” “us, “our” and “our company”) reflect the historical activity of Phototron, and the historical stockholders’ equity of Phototron 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 PHI Merger Agreement, Phototron is deemed to have issued an additional 8,662,262 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the PHI Merger. Reverse merger costs of $430,966 include net liabilities of $124,901 assumed upon the reverse merger, the payment by Phototron of a $249,993 dividend to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger upon the consummation of the Merger and legal fees of $56,072. These costs have been reflected as costs of the PHI Merger in the 2011 statement of operations.

 

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.

As a result of the PHI Merger and the Merger, we are solely engaged in Phototron’s and SGT’s businesses, 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.

 

Interim Results

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2012 and for the three months periods ended March 31, 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. Balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2011 have been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date.

 

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 financial statement presentation. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2012. Our operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of our operating results in future periods.

 

Liquidity

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had a net loss of $386,873 and cash used in operations of $257,498, and had a stockholders’ deficiency of $542,716 at March 31, 2012. 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 sale of debt and equity securities. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2011 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we raised proceeds of $125,005, through the sale of 3,571,571 shares of common stock. On March 16, 2012, we exchanged $670,129 of notes payable that were initially due in August 2012 for 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes that are not due until April 2015. We believe the cash on hand and the forecasted cash flow from operations will be sufficient to continue operations for the next 6 months. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term and believes that such capital, when combined with revenues expected from and after the second quarter of 2012 as a result of increased product shipments, will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next 6 months. There can be no guaranty that we will be able to consummate additional financing transactions or that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.

 

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.

 

-7-
 

 

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. As substantially all sales are cash or credit card sales we did not maintain a reserve for bad debt as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Sales Returns

 

We allow customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in our sales terms and conditions. It is our practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, our estimates of sales returns, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. We record estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount we expect to realize upon its subsequent disposition. As of March 31, 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. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was no warranty reserve.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling fees billed to customers of $15,133 and $17,746, respectively, were included in revenues.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling costs of $12,733 and $12,951, respectively, were included in cost of goods sold.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $51,599 and $18,697, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

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:

 

-8-
 

 

 

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 March 31, 2012.

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3   Total    
Fair value of Derivative Liability at March 31, 2012   $ --     $ --     $ 331,463     $ 331,463    
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3   Total    
Fair value of Derivative Liability at December 31, 2011   $ --     $ --     $ -     $ -    

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values.

 

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.

 

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.

 

-9-
 

 

 

The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following as of:

 

   March 31,
2012
  December 31,
2011
           
Stock options   22,834,306    30,861,085 
Stock warrants   2,248,954    2,248,953 
           
    25,083,260    33,110,038 
           

 

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 8,662,262 shares issued to the legal acquirer are included in the weighted average share calculation from March 9, 2011, 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 will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect 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 will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

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 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On March 16, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with W-Net and Europa, pursuant to which, we issued to the W-Net and Europa 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $670,129 in exchange and the cancellation and exchange of (a) that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note, dated October 8, 2011 with balance of principal and interest due $205,293 at March 16, 2012 to Europa, and (b) that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note, dated October 12, 2011, with balance of principal and interest due $427,531 at March 16, 2012 to W-Net, and (iii) the revolving promissory note payable to W-Net with balance of principal and interest due $37,305 at March 16, 2012.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, we may sell and issue up to an additional $1,329,871.23 in principal amount of the Notes in exchange for a cash purchase price and/or the cancellation and exchange of any promissory note issued by us, or evidencing debt assumed by us.

The Notes pay 6% interest per annum with a maturity date of April 15, 2015 and are secured by substantially all of our assets and three trademarks. No cash interest payments are required, except that accrued and unconverted interest shall be due on the maturity date and on each conversion date with respect to the principal amount being converted, provided that such interest may be added to and included with the principal amount being converted. If there is an uncured event of default under the Notes, the holder of each Note may declare the entire principal and accrued interest amount immediately due and payable. Default interest will accrue after an event of default at an annual rate of 12%. The Notes may be prepaid by us at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice to the holders of the Notes, and the Notes may not be forced by us to be converted.

Each Note is convertible at any time into common stock at a specified conversion price, which will initially be $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.

The Notes will greatly restrict the ability of our company or our subsidiaries to grant liens on our or their respective assets without the Note holders’ consent.

NOTE 7 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.

 

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 notes issued to W-Net and Europa 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:

 

   

March 31,

2012

   

December 31,

2011

 
    (Unaudited)        
Conversion feature :            
Risk-free interest rate     0.04%       -  
Expected volatility     74%       -  
Expected life (in years)      3  years        
Expected dividend yield     0.00%       -  
                 
Fair Value :                
Conversion feature   $  331,463     $  -  
                 

 

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.

 

The Company measured the fair value of the conversion feature at issuance of the notes on March 16, 2012 as $311,463 and recorded a derivative liability of that amount. The Company determined there was no change in the value of the derivative liabilities of $331,463 on March 31, 2012.

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

On December 15, 2011, we entered into a Domain Name License Agreement for the exclusive rights to various domain names in connection with our internet business for a period of 3 years. We shall pay a license fee equal to 333,333 shares of common stock per year. On January 10, 2012, we issued the shares relating to the first year of the license fee and valued those shares at $11,667, the stock price on the date of issuance.

We entered into an offering for the private placement of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.035 per share. During the three month period ending March 31, 2012, we issued 3,571,571 shares of common stock at gross proceeds of $125,005.

During the three month period ending March 31, 2012, we issued 200,000 restricted shares of common stock for marketing services valued at $7,000. We also issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to our corporate counsel in exchange for the cancellation of $35,000 of indebtedness owed by us for legal services that were previously rendered to us.

Stock Options

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, no stock options were granted. The total stock based compensation recognized on our statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $23,595. As of March 31, 2012, the aggregate value of unvested stock options was $169,253, which will vest over an average period of approximately ten months.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On March 21, 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement, and the Closing of 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 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 are presently authorized under our certificate of incorporation, as amended to date, to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 3,000,000 shares were designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of the Closing, we had 309,343,383 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 157,000,000 shares were owned by SGT’s former stockholders, representing approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the Merger, and 152,343,383 shares were owned by our existing stockholders, representing approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into 23 shares of our common stock on the earlier of (a) the date agreed to by the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Investor Representative and (b) the 18-month anniversary of the Closing.

 

In connection with the Closing, on April 5, 2012, we entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the SGT Representative, the Investor Representative and Stubbs, Alderton & Markiles LLP, as escrow agent, pursuant to which, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to SGT’s former stockholders will be held in escrow pending the achievement by the Surviving Corporation of the financial milestones described in the Merger Agreement. If the Surviving Corporation achieves such financial milestones, the Series A Preferred Stock will be released from escrow and delivered to SGT’s former stockholders. If the Surviving Corporation fails to achieve such financial milestones, the Series A Preferred Stock will be released from escrow, delivered to us, and cancelled.

In connection with the Closing, on April 5, 2012, we entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with SGT’s former stockholders, the Investor Representative and Europa, pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders agreed to vote the shares of our capital stock held by such stockholders to elect the following persons to our board of directors (the “Board”):

 

-three persons designated by the SGT Representative (the “SGT Directors”), one of which must be an independent director, which persons shall initially be Sterling C. Scott, with two seats remaining vacant, for so long as SGT’s former stockholders or any of their affiliates continue to own beneficially shares of our common stock; and
-two persons designated by the Investor Representative, one of which must be an independent director, which persons shall initially be Craig Ellins, with one seat remaining vacant, for so long as the Investor Representative, Europa or any of their affiliates continue to own beneficially shares of our common stock.

 

Effective as of the Closing, (a) the authorized number of directors on the Board was increased to 5, (b) Todd Denkin resigned from the Board and (c) Sterling C. Scott was elected to the Board to fill one of the vacancies thereon. All directors serve until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

After the Closing, the two remaining SGT Directors will be appointed to the Board (the “Remaining SGT Directors”). The appointment of the Remaining SGT Directors will be subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including the preparation, filing and distribution to our stockholders of a Schedule 14(f)-1 information statement, and the completion of the requisite waiting period following such filing and distribution.

 

Effective as of the Closing, (a) Craig Ellins resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, (b) Sterling C. Scott became the Executive Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and (c) Craig Ellins became the Vice Chairman of the Board. All officers are appointed by the Board and their terms of office are, except to the extent governed by an employment contract, at the discretion of the Board.

 

Except for the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, neither SGT, nor its directors, officers and stockholders had any material relationship with our company.

 

In connection with the Merger, we issued $500,000 of Notes to former noteholders of SGT in exchange for notes previously issued by SGT. The Notes were issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement. The Notes pay 6% interest per annum with a maturity date of April 15, 2015. Our obligations under the Notes would accelerate upon our bankruptcy, any default by us of our payment obligations under the Notes or our breach of any provision of any material agreement between us and such noteholders. 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 Notes 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.

 

The issuance of the shares of our common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and the Notes to SGT’s former stockholders, as applicable, and the issuance of the shares of our common stock underlying such Series A Preferred Stock and Notes upon the conversion thereof, is intended to be exempt from registration under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act.

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 months ended March 31, 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.

 

Operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs and corporate infrastructure costs. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we hire additional staff and continue executing our business plan. We anticipate incurring approximately $212,500 in added annual costs related to operating as a public company, consisting of accounting and audit-related fees, legal fees, director and officer insurance premiums and filing and other miscellaneous fees.

 

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 March 31, 2012 Compared to March 31, 2011

 

Revenue and cost of revenue

 

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $107,592 compared to $119,308 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $11,716. During 2011, we began to distribute our product by using a multi-level marketing model. Additionally, we began to distribute new products. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2011 and continuing in 2012, we shifted our sales model to traditional sales, focusing on the marketing of our products to the public via the Internet and mail order channels. Our gross profit margin during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 34% compared to 43% during the same period of 2011. The gross profit margin was higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, due to sales of higher margin product.

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $305,703 compared to $876,168 in the same period last year a decrease of $570,465. The decrease is primarily due to the shift in our sales strategy in the third and fourth quarters of 2011, and continuing in 2012, and re-focusing our sales and marketing efforts away from direct sales to traditional sales, which significantly reduced our general and administrative costs. We anticipate continuing to have reduced general and administrative costs as a stand-alone enterprise, however, as a result of the Closing, we will need to account for the general and administrative costs of SGT. While we anticipate that we will continue to implement our cost-cutting initiatives to that enterprise, we can provide no assurance that such efforts will be accomplished successfully.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011 and continuing until late in the third quarter of 2011, we focused on the development and implementation of our direct sales distribution network, including the design of marketing materials, training classes, videos, software, packaging materials and websites. Furthermore, we recruited a new management team and developed new products in connection with such direct sales distribution network.

 

Late in the third quarter of 2011 and continuing in 2012, we shifted our sales efforts from our direct sales distribution network to more traditional sales channels, including on or through the Internet and via mail order. In connection with such shift, management took actions to reduce our overhead costs and streamline our operations related to our direct sales distribution network. Such actions included (a) the elimination of certain positions related to our direct sales distribution network and related corporate support personnel, (b) the termination of the lease of our corporate headquarters and the relocation of our operations into our logistics center, (c) the elimination of duplicative overhead costs and operating expenses, (d) the reduction of research and development expenses to minimal levels and (e) the termination of our relationship with our direct sales distribution network management team.

 

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, and continuing in 2012, management has taken actions that have resulted in reducing our short term and long term payables. The actions we took included renegotiating such payables to lower payments and obtaining more favorable terms in connection with such payables. In addition, in April 2012, we converted certain outstanding payables into shares of our common stock.

 

Additionally, we expect that we will benefit from the operations of SGT and, in addition to the revenues that may be generated from SGT, we may be able to access additional capital in the form of additional debt and equity financings. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any of these initiatives.

 

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash of $9,825 and a working capital of $92,008. We have relied on funds generated through operations, through loans and through selling shares of our common stock in a series of private placements.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in operations was $257,498 compared to cash used of $337,234 during the same period in the prior year. The cash used in operations during the current period reflects the loss of $386,873. These were increased by a decrease in our accounts payable of $87,254.

 

In conjunction with the March 9, 2011 recapitalization we paid reverse merger costs of $414,884. There were no acquisitions of property and equipment in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $267,000. This includes proceeds from notes payable of $158,000 and $125,005 related to the issuance of stock of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we generated $957,970 of funds from financing activities. This includes $986,332, net of expenses, in proceeds from Phototron’s issuance of 666,666 shares of its common stock (exchanged for 52,248,537 shares of our common stock in the Merger) at $1.50 per share in January and February 2011. Additionally, we repaid a related party note payable in the amount of $20,000, and continued to make payments of $8,362 on our note payable, bank.

-19-
 

 

In connection with the Merger, we issued $500,000 of Notes to former noteholders of SGT in exchange for notes previously issued by SGT. The Notes were issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement. The Notes pay 6% interest per annum with a maturity date of April 15, 2015. Our obligations under the Notes would accelerate upon our bankruptcy, any default by us of our payment obligations under the Notes or our breach of any provision of any material agreement between us and such noteholders. 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. In the event that a Dilutive Issuance occurs, 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.

 

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 and believes that such capital, when combined with revenues expected from and after the second quarter of 2012 as a result of increased product shipments, will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next 6 months. 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may 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.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. Management analyzes historical and prospective sales data to estimate obsolescence. We did not record any reserve for obsolescence during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

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. As substantially all sales are cash or credit card sales we did not maintain a reserve for bad debt as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

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 our subsequent disposition.

Derivative Financial instruments

 

We evaluate all of our 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 re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivatives 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 e 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.

 

Recent 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 will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect 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 will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2012, the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting, provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that all deficiencies in design and or operation of those control systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or detected. Those control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the goals of those systems in light of our resources and nature of our business operations. Our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting, remain subject to risks of human error and the risk that controls can be circumvented for wrongful purposes by one or more individuals in management or non-management positions.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the last fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into an offering for the private placement of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.035 per share. We issued 3,571,571 shares of common stock at gross proceeds of $125,000 subsequent to year-end. We issued 200,000 restricted shares of common stock for marketing services valued at $7,000. We issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP, our corporate counsel (“SAM”), in exchange for the cancellation of $35,000 of indebtedness owed by us to SAM for legal services that were previously rendered to us. These securities were issued without registration pursuant to the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
