NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of GrowLife, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year, or for any other fiscal period.

GrowLife, Inc. (“GrowLife” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. The Company was founded in 2012 with the Closing of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with SGT Merger Corporation. On June 7, 2013, GrowLife Hydroponics completed the purchase of Rocky Mountain Hydroponics, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“RMC”), and Evergreen Garden Center, LLC, a Maine limited liability company (“EGC”). The effective date of the purchase was June 7, 2013.

The Company’s goal of becoming the nation’s largest cultivation facility service provider for the production of organics, herbs and greens and plant-based medicines has not changed. The Company’s mission is to best serve more cultivators in the design, build-out, expansion and maintenance of their facilities with products of high quality, exceptional value and competitive price. Through a nationwide network of knowledgeable representatives, GrowLife provides essential and hard-to-find goods including media (i.e., farming soil), industry-leading hydroponics equipment, organic plant nutrients, and thousands more products to specialty grow operations across the United States.

On October 15, 2018, in connection with the Company’s strategy to become a dominate cultivation facilities provider, the Company closed the Purchase and Sale Agreement with EZ-CLONE Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation. EZ-CLONE is the manufacturer of multiple award-winning products specifically designed for the commercial cloning and propagation stage of indoor plant cultivation including cannabis, food, and other hydroponic farming. The Company acquired 51% of EZ-CLONE stock for $2,040,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $645,000; and (ii) the issuance of 107,307,692 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.013 per share or $1,395,000. The Company is consolidating the operations of EZ-Clone and treating the 49% that the Company does not control as non-controlling interest.

The Company has the obligation with the delivery of EZ-CLONE common stock to acquire the remaining 49% of EZ-CLONE within one year for $1,960,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $855,000; and (ii) the issuance of 85,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.013 per share or $1,105,000. On November 5, 2019, the Company extended the closing of the remaining 49% with one 24.5% shareholder by up to nine months by agreeing to a 20% extension fee of the $855,000 cash payment, payable at the earlier of the closing of $2,000,000 in funding or the nine months. The Company continues to negotiate with the second shareholder for the remaining 24.5%.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company closed retail stores in Portland, Maine, Encino, California and Calgary, Canada and online sales. Also, we are expecting to close the sale of the flooring division located in Grand Prairie, Texas. The Company expects to reduce losses and cash costs by up to $100,000 per month starting October 1, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, The Company recorded restructuring expense of $306,000 for the closure of the flooring division primarily related to equipment write down and $250,000 for the closure of the retail stores, related store leases and online sales. See Note 4 for additional details.

On October 17, 2017, the Company was informed by Alpine Securities Corporation (“Alpine”) that Alpine has demonstrated compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 6432 and Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company filed an amended application with the OTC Markets to list the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB and begin to trade on this market as of March 20, 2018. As of March 4, 2019, the Company no longer trades on the OTCQB, but is not quoted on the pink sheets quotation system. As a result of the Company’s bid price closing below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days.

NOTE 2 –

LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires that management evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, since inception, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $$147,198,605, cash and cash equivalents of $201,072 and a working capital deficit of $494,818, (less derivative liability, convertible debt, right of use liability and deferred revenue). Additionally, the Company used in operating activities $2,612,125, $3,854,506, and $2,082,493 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. The Company will require additional cash funding to fund operations through November 2020. Accordingly, management has concluded that the Company does not have sufficient funds to support operations within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and, therefore, the Company concluded there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To fund further operations, the Company will need to raise additional capital. The Company may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of its common stock, or through other equity or debt financings. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern or meet the minimum liquidity requirements in the future is dependent on its ability to raise significant additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. If the necessary financing is not obtained or achieved, the Company will likely be required to reduce its planned expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objective. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results, financial position and cash flows.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

These steps include (1) a legally enforceable contract, written or unwritten is identified; (2) performance obligations in the contracts are identified; (3) the transaction price reflecting variable consideration, if any, is identified; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when the control of goods is transferred to the customer at a particular time or over time. Our hydroponic sales are cash or credit card. For EZ-CLONE, we extend thirty day 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 goods sold, 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 September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there was a reserve for sales returns of $20,000, respectively, which is minimal based upon our historical experience.

Inventories - Inventories are recorded on a first in first out basis Inventory consists of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and components sold by EZ-CLONE to it distribution customers. In addition, finished goods includes products hydroponics, which is product purchased from distributors, and in some cases directly from the manufacturer, and resold to its hydroponics customers. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The reserve for inventory was $30,000 and $120,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Property and Equipment – Equipment consists of machinery, equipment, tooling, computer equipment and leasehold improvements, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 3-10 years, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the life of the lease or 10 years.

Long Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, if the life is determinable. If the life is not determinable, amortization is not recorded. We regularly perform reviews to determine if facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the useful lives of our intangible assets are shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. When an indication exists that the carrying amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of those assets.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

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

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

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 twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Stock Based Compensation - The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost to employees is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period under ASC Topic 718. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC Topic 505.

Net Loss Per Share - Under the provisions of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive.

As of September 30, 2019, there are also (i) stock option grants outstanding for the purchase of 82.5 million common shares at a $0.010 average exercise price; (ii) warrants for the purchase of 362.8 million common shares at a $0.023 average exercise price; and (iii) 118.4 million shares related to convertible debt that can be converted at $0.0025 per share. In addition, we have an unknown number of common shares to be issued under the Crossover financing agreements in the case of default. In addition, we have an unknown number of common shares to be issued under the Chicago Venture, Iliad and St. George financing agreements because the number of shares ultimately issued to Chicago Venture depends on the price at which Chicago Venture converts its debt to shares and exercises its warrants. The lower the conversion or exercise prices, the more shares that will be issued to Chicago Venture upon the conversion of debt to shares. We will not know the exact number of shares of stock issued to Chicago Venture until the debt is actually converted to equity.

As of September 30, 2018, there are also (i) stock option grants outstanding for the purchase of 63 million common shares at a $0.009 average exercise price; (ii) warrants for the purchase of 595 million common shares at a $0.031 average exercise price; and (iii) 109 million shares related to convertible debt that can be converted at $0.0025 per share. In addition, we have an unknown number of common shares to be issued under the Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. financing agreements.

Dividend Policy - The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

Use of Estimates - In preparing these unaudited interim 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 derivative liability, equity instruments and share based compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and did not restate comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company to carryforward our historical lease classification, our assessment on whether a contract is or contains a lease, and the Company’s initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of twelve months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating and finance leases are included in Right of Use ("ROU") assets, and lease liability obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and account for such components as a single lease component. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we estimated our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and lease direct costs. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Please refer to Note 8 for additional information.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Convertible Notes payable include a conversion feature that pursuant ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, has been identified as an embedded derivative financial instrument and which the Company has elected to account for under the fair value method of accounting.

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20. Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The debt is convertible at the lesser of 65% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock or $0.009 requiring the conversion feature to be bifurcated from the host debt contract and accounting for separately as a derivative, resulting in periodic revaluations.

There was a derivative liability of $1,434,074 as of September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded non-cash income of $508,730 related to the “change in fair value of derivative” expense related to the Chicago Venture and Iliad financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Chicago Venture and Iliad converted principal and accrued interest of $1,045,000 into 264,488,842 shares of our common stock at a per share conversion price of $.00395 with a fair value of $1,765,395. The Company recognized $720,355 loss on debt conversions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Derivative liability as of September 30, 2019 was as follows:

NOTE 14 – EQUITY

Authorized Capital Stock

The Company has authorized 6,010,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 6,000,000,000 are shares of voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. On October 24, 2017 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 3,000,000,000 to 6,000,000,000 shares.

Non-Voting Preferred Stock

Under the terms of our articles of incorporation, the Company’s board of directors is authorized to issue shares of non-voting preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The Company’s board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of non-voting preferred stock.

The purpose of authorizing the Company’s board of directors to issue non-voting preferred stock and determine the Company’s rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of non-voting preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Other than the Series B and C Preferred Stock discussed below, there are no shares of non-voting preferred stock presently outstanding and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

NOTE 15– STOCK OPTIONS

Description of Stock Option Plan

On December 6, 2018, the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the First Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the shares issuable under the plan from 100 million to 200 million. The Company has 100,000,000 shares available for issuance. The Company has outstanding unexercised stock option grants totaling 100,000,000 shares at an average exercise price of $0.010 per share as of December 31, 2018. The Company filed registration statements on Form S-8 to register 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock related to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and First Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.

Determining Fair Value under ASC 505

The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model for estimating fair value of stock options granted under our plan. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options on a ratable basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the volatility of our common stock based on the historical volatility of its own common stock over the most recent period corresponding with the estimated expected life of the award. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and adjusts share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good-faith judgment of our management and the statements are based on facts and factors as we currently know them. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, but are not limited to, those discussed below as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report (including in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors)). Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report.

THE COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

GrowLife, Inc. (“GrowLife” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. We were founded in 2012 with the Closing of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with SGT Merger Corporation.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

First, our year to date revenue was $6.7 million as compared to $2.9 million for nine months ended September 30, 2018. We well outpaced last year by more than doubling gross revenues.

Next, gross profits, or revenue after our cost of sales, was reported at $2.2 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to last year’s $243,000; a 803% year-over-year increase. This is attributed to the EZ-CLONE business acquisition, which brought in significantly higher margins along with our continuing GrowLife business revenue, resulting in blended gross margin of 32.5%, up from 8.5% during the nine months ended September 3, 2019. As the EZ-CLONE business represents a greater percentage of our sales, we expect to see these gross margins increase further.

Finally, the Company continues to generate growth by investing in its EZ-CLONE acquisition, sales and marketing efforts and thus reports a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We believe that expansion spending is necessary in a high-growth market such as the cannabis, hemp and CBD-related businesses.

As of September 30, 2019, we closed retail stores in Portland, Maine, Encino, California and Calgary, Canada and online sales. Also we are expecting to close the sale of the flooring division located in Grand Prairie, Texas. We expect to reduce losses and cash costs by up to $100,000 per month starting October 1, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, we recorded restructuring expense of $306,000 for the closure of the flooring division related to the equipment write down and $250,000 for the closure of the retail stores, related leases and online sales.

SO WHERE ARE WE INVESTING? CLONING AND CBD

We see the greatest opportunity for our Company in further positioning ourselves as the industry leader in plant cloning, and more specifically, as the leader in cloning of hemp plants grown for CBD extraction. Hemp production was recently legalized in the United States, subject to certain federal and state restrictions, creating a completely new market opportunity where countless farmers are switching their operations to hemp. Some conservative reports estimate that more than 500 million hemp plants will be planted in 2019, with farmers looking to grow hemp to provide raw materials to the exploding CBD market. Unfortunately, a lot of hemp growers do not understand the intricacies of growing hemp, especially for CBD extraction. Not all hemp plants can be used to create CBD products. Plants need to be rich in CBD, not THC, be the correct gender, and be healthy and large enough to process. In order to achieve this, the only way to start plants is by using genetically modified and feminized seeds or through cloning.

To position as a future industry leader, we believe that we need the foresight to project the growing hemp and CBD industry of the future and to stay ahead of trends, and to strategically position our company accordingly. This includes the booming need for CBD-rich hemp.

Toward the end of 2018, we announced the majority acquisition of a company called EZ-CLONE Enterprises. EZ-CLONE was and is known as the industry-leading supplier of commercial-grade cloning and propagation equipment. This was a part of this strategic positioning plan.

Cannabis cultivators have been cloning their favorite strains from mother plants for years, using various methods like tabletop growing. These methods are extremely labor and space intensive. As the demand for cannabis and CBD-rich hemp increases through further legalization, so will the demand for more and more starters, whether CLONEs or seeds. And while cloning is the preferred method of production for many growers, cloning can be time and labor intensive, and takes a lot of space in most grow facilities.

In late 2017, EZ-CLONE developed its Pro unit, which is one of the largest and the most efficient cloning systems on the market. It is commercially scalable and allows cultivators to clone high volumes of plants, in a short timeframe, as short as 14 days, with the least amount of human and environmental resources consumed than ever previously seen. These systems decrease the need for resources such as labor and planting area, and we estimate that cultivators reduce their costs by over 20% per plant using CLONEs vs. seed while simultaneously producing the highest-quality plants possible. This system is so unique, we recently announced a patent issuance on this system and hope to secure further intellectual property protection on EZ-CLONE products in the coming months and years.

We believe this illustrates how GrowLife is positioned as an innovator of this industry-leading cloning solution, to capitalize not only on the emerging cannabis industry but now the exploding hemp CBD industry. In just the few months since taking over operations at EZ-CLONE, we have seen an increase in revenue of over 130% relative to last year.

In addition to the Pro unit, the EZ-CLONE product line has systems of all sizes designed for any size grow room or facility, consumable products such as rooting compound, and everything needed to operate these systems. Since our acquisition, we have added a subscription-based service to provide monthly shipments to cultivators with everything necessary to CLONE in our systems, as well as struck a deal with technology company Emerald Metrics to add spectral imaging add-ons to our Pro systems that allow growers to see the health of their CLONEs through any computer or mobile device.

We have all heard statistics such as the CBD industry will reach $20 billion by 2024. We believe these forecasts could be understated. Analysts continue to be shocked at the rise of consumer acceptance of CBD products, and more and more large companies will begin to debut CBD products, and demand for raw hemp-based CBD will grow accordingly. Additionally, we are seeing many hemp growers losing crop viability due to the way they are starting plants, some losing crops to cross-pollination and some even being burned down by the DEA when they have too high of levels of THC. We believe this is a testament as to how much demand for hemp crops will continue to grow, and growers will continue to search for the best way to grow hemp to avoid these issues. And I reiterate that cloning is really the best way to ensure a healthy crop with the proper CBD content. We plan to be the hemp CBD heroes with our, for lack of a better word, revolutionary cloning products. We have made strides to reach hemp farmers and educate them on the benefits of cloning, launching our resource and sales channel at EZCLONEHemp.com, attending hemp-focused tradeshows, and ramping up our sales force in hemp-heavy states where traditional agricultural is making the switch to hemp.

IN SUMMARY

Moving forward, we believe there will continue to be innovation in plant-growing equipment after the planting stage, but this not involve our present intended operations. We are not going to create the best LED light, or trimming machine. We are going to stick with focusing on our core competencies: helping cultivators with jump-starting their crops, reduce their costs and grow better plants. We’re going to help them with the equipment needed to grow their own clones, address innovation in the cloning process and educate cultivators on the necessity of cloning in order to maximize yield and grow high CBD strains, and even potentially provide the clones themselves.

We believe that through our strategic investment in EZ-CLONE, we have positioned ourselves very well to capitalize on this expanding market opportunity. Where EZ-CLONE was able to create a quality product with steady growth, GrowLife has propelled it into an international brand being utilized by some of the largest grow operations in the world.

Recently we have been investing capital into building out our manufacturing capacity for the EZ-CLONE product line to prepare for this continued growth. We currently have a sizable backlog of orders and need to have the manufacturing capacity to not only fulfill these orders but keep up with demand. Growth on this scale requires capital.

Through a nationwide network of knowledgeable representatives, GrowLife continues to provide essential and hard-to-find goods including media (i.e., farming soil), industry-leading hydroponics equipment, organic plant nutrients, and thousands more products to specialty grow operations across the United States.

Please follow our shareholder updates for more to come on our financing. If we secure this financing we can then dedicate funds toward increasing our manufacturing capacity, hiring additional sales and support staff and actualize on our vision of being the leading source of plant starters and equipment for the hemp and cannabis market and meet the demand as it continues to rise.

We believe with the revenue growth and increased margins described, our fundamentals are strong, our positioning is focused and trajectory is encouraging. To put it is simply, we are ready and prepared to make our place in one of the largest shifts in mainstream wellness and agriculture in history.

Employees

As of September 30, 2019, we had twenty seven full-time and part-time employees. Marco Hegyi, our Chief Executive Officer, is based in Kirkland, Washington. Mark E. Scott, our Chief Financial Officer, is based primarily in Seattle, Washington. We have approximately 13 full and part time employees located throughout the United States who operate our businesses. We employ 12 full-time and part-time employees at EZ-CLONE in Sacramento, CA. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement or represented by a trade or labor union. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.

Key Partners

Our key customers vary by state and are expected to be more defined as the company moves from its retail walk-in purchasing sales strategy to serving cultivation facilities directly and under predictable purchasing contracts.

Our key suppliers include distributors and manufacturers. All the products purchased and resold are applicable to indoor growing for organics, greens, and plant-based medicines.

Competition

Covering two countries across all cultivator segments creates competitors that also serve as partners. Large commercial cultivators have found themselves willing to assume their own equipment support by buying large volume purchased directly from certain suppliers and distributors such as Hawthorne and HydroFarm. Other key competitors on the retail side consist of local and regional hydroponic resellers of indoor growing equipment. On the e-commerce business, GrowersHouse.com, Hydrobuilder.com and smaller online resellers using Amazon and eBay e-commerce market systems.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

Our intellectual property consists of brands and their related trademarks and websites, customer lists and affiliations, product know-how and technology, and marketing intangibles.

Our other intellectual property is primarily in the form of trademarks and domain names. We also hold rights to several website addresses related to our business including websites that are actively used in our day-to-day business such as www.shopgrowlife.com, www.growlifeinc.com, www.growlifeeco.com and www.greners.com.

We have applied for two patents related to the vertical room product previously discussed.

We have a policy of entering into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our employees, some of our vendors and customers as necessary.

On October 15, 2018, we closed the Purchase and Sale Agreement with EZ-CLONE Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation. EZ-CLONE is the manufacturer of multiple award-winning products specifically designed for the commercial cloning and propagation stage of indoor plant cultivation including cannabis, food, and other hydroponic farming. We acquired 51% of EZ-CLONE for $2,040,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $645,000; and (ii) the issuance of 107,307,692 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.013 per share or $1,395,000.

We have the obligation with the delivery of EZ-CLONE common stock to acquire the remaining 49% of EZ-CLONE within one year for $1,960,000, payable as follows: (i) a cash payment of $855,000; and (ii) the issuance of 85,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.013 per share or $1,105,000. On November 5, 2019, we extended the closing of the remaining 49% with one 24.5% shareholder by up to nine months by agreeing to a 20% extension fee of the $855,000 cash payment, payable at the earlier of the closing of $2,000,000 in funding or the nine months. We continue to negotiate with the second shareholder for the remaining 24.5%.

Government Regulation

Currently, there are thirty three states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulation that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. There are currently ten states and the District of Columbia that allow recreational use of cannabis. As of September 30, 2019, the policy and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis for personal use is prohibited on the basis of federal law and may or may not be permitted on the basis of state law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis on a regional or national basis may directly and adversely affect the willingness of customers of GrowLife to invest in or buy products from GrowLife. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect revenues and profits of the GrowLife companies.

All this being said, many reports show that the majority of the American public is in favor of making medical cannabis available as a controlled substance to those patients who need it. The need and consumption will then require cultivators to continue to provide safe and compliant crops to consumers. The cultivators will then need to build facilities and use consumable products, which GrowLife provides.

OUR COMMON STOCK

On October 17, 2017, we were informed by Alpine Securities Corporation (“Alpine”) that Alpine has demonstrated compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 6432 and Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of March 4, 2019, the Company no longer trades on the OTCQB, but is not quoted on the pink sheets quotation system as a result of the Company’s bid price closing below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days.

PRIMARY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

We are exposed to various risks related to legal proceedings, our need for additional financing, the sale of significant numbers of our shares, the potential adjustment in the exercise price of our convertible debentures and a volatile market price for our common stock. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail below in Part II, Item 1A.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires that management evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, since inception, we have sustained significant operating losses and such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $$147,198,605, cash and cash equivalents of $201,072 and a working capital deficit of $494,818, (less derivative liability, convertible debt, right of use liability and deferred revenue). Additionally, we used in operating activities $2,612,125, $3,854,506, and $2,082,493 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. We will require additional cash funding to fund operations through November 2020. Accordingly, management has concluded that we do not have sufficient funds to support operations within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and, therefore, we concluded there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To fund further operations, we will need to raise additional capital. We may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of its common stock, or through other equity or debt financings. Our ability to continue as a going concern or meet the minimum liquidity requirements in the future is dependent on its ability to raise significant additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. If the necessary financing is not obtained or achieved, we will likely be required to reduce its planned expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and our ability to achieve its strategic objective. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the our ability to continue as a going concern and have a material adverse effect on our future financial results, financial position and cash flows.

Funding Agreements with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P., and Iliad Research and Trading, L.P and Odyssey Research and Trading, LLC

The total amount of funding under the Odyssey Agreements is $1,105,000. The Convertible Promissory Note carries an original issue discount of $100,000 and a transaction expense amount of $5,000, for total debt of $1,105,000. We agreed to reserve three times the number of shares based on the redemption value with a minimum of 500 million shares of its common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Debt, if that occurs in the future. If not converted sooner, the Debt is due on or before July 22, 2020. The Debt carries an interest rate of ten percent (10%). The Debt is convertible, at Odyssey’s option, into the Company’s common stock at $0.010 per share subject to adjustment as provided for in the Secured Promissory Notes.

We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Crossover as a commitment fee that was valued at fair market value at $.005 per share. On September 20, 2019, we closed a Secured Advance Note with Crossover Capital Fund I LLC. We entered into the Crossover Note with the intent to acquire working capital to grow our businesses.

The Crossover Note carries an original issue discount of $57,400 and a transaction expense amount of $7,000, for total debt of $308,400.

The Crossover Note is due in nine months and is repayable weekly at $9,205. The Crossover Note is convertible into our common stock at market value share subject to adjustment as provided for in the Crossover Note in the case of default. Our obligation to pay the Crossover Note, or any portion thereof, is secured by all of our assets.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded as of September 30, 2019, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed immediately below.

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting:

The current Audit Committee has two independent directors, but the Chairman is an interim Named Executive Officer. We expect to expand this committee during 2019.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of its business. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, it makes provision for potential liabilities when it deems them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and may be adjusted from time to time according to developments.

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are certain inherent risks which will have an effect on the Company’s development in the future and the most significant risks and uncertainties known and identified by our management are described below.

Risks Related to Our Business

Risks Associated with Securities Purchase Agreement with Chicago Venture

The Securities Purchase Agreement with Chicago Venture will terminate if we file protection from its creditors, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 is not effective, and our market capitalization or the trading volume of our common stock does not reach certain levels. If terminated, we will be unable to draw down all or substantially all of our Chicago Venture Notes.

Our ability to require Chicago Venture to fund the Chicago Venture Note is at our discretion, subject to certain limitations. Chicago Venture is obligated to fund if each of the following conditions are met; (i) the average and median daily dollar volumes of our common stock for the twenty (20) and sixty (60) trading days immediately preceding the funding date are greater than $100,000; (ii) our market capitalization on the funding date is greater than $17,000,000; (iii) we are not in default with respect to share delivery obligations under the note as of the funding date; and (iv) we are current in our reporting obligations.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the foregoing conditions or any other conditions under the Securities Purchase Agreement and/or Chicago Venture Note or that we will be able to draw down any portion of the amounts available under the Securities Purchase Agreement and/or Chicago Venture Note.

If we not able to draw down all amounts possible under the Securities Purchase Agreement or if the Securities Purchase Agreement is terminated, we may be forced to curtail the scope of our operations or alter our business plan if other financing is not available to us.

Our common stock.

On October 17, 2017, we were informed by Alpine Securities Corporation (“Alpine”) that Alpine has demonstrated compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 6432 and Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We filed an amended application with the OTC Markets to list the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB and begin to trade on this market as of March 20, 2018. As of March 4, 2019, the Company no longer trades on the OTCQB, but is not quoted on the pink sheets quotation system as a result of the Company's bid price closing below $0.01 for more than 30 consecuttive calendar days.

This action had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we will need to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business.

We have been involved in Legal Proceedings.

We have been involved in certain disputes and legal proceedings as discussed in the section title “Legal Proceedings” within our Form 10-Q for the quarter year ended September 30, 2019. In addition, as a public company, we are also potentially susceptible to litigation, such as claims asserting violations of securities laws. Any such claims, with or without merit, if not resolved, could be time-consuming and result in costly litigation. There can be no assurance that an adverse result in any future proceeding would not have a potentially material adverse on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may engage in acquisitions, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestures that could result in final results that are different than expected.

In the normal course of business, we engage in discussions relating to possible acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. Such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms as well as impairment expenses related to goodwill and amortization expenses related to other intangible assets, the possibility that we may pay too much cash or issue too many of our shares as the purchase price for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition, and various potential difficulties involved in integrating acquired businesses into our operations.

From time to time, we have also engaged in discussions with candidates regarding the potential acquisitions of our product lines, technologies and businesses. If a divestiture such as this does occur, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser; identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain; reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business; and collect the proceeds from any divestitures.

If we do not realize the expected benefits of any acquisition or divestiture transaction, our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be negatively impacted.

Our proposed business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industry.

Continued development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of the use and cultivation of marijuana at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of marijuana, which would negatively impact our proposed business.

Currently, thirty three states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, ten states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for adult use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The Obama administration previously effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. The Trump administration position is unknown. However, there is no guarantee that the Trump administration will not change current policy regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal laws. Additionally, any new administration that follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and its shareholders.

Further, while we do not harvest, distribute or sell marijuana, by supplying products to growers of marijuana, we could be deemed to be participating in marijuana cultivation, which remains illegal under federal law, and exposes us to potential criminal liability, with the additional risk that our business could be subject to civil forfeiture proceedings.

The marijuana industry faces strong opposition.

It is believed by many that large, well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the marijuana industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For example, medical marijuana will likely adversely impact the existing market for the current “marijuana pill” sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies. Further, the medical marijuana industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry, should marijuana displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry’s products. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical marijuana movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry could make in halting or impeding the marijuana industry harm our business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition.

Marijuana remains illegal under Federal law.

Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would harm our business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition.

Raising additional capital to implement our business plan and pay our debts will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, require us to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business.

We need additional financing to implement our business plan and to service our ongoing operations and pay our current debts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us.

If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we may incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of common stock. When we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we will need to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business.

Closing of bank and merchant processing accounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

As a result of the regulatory environment, we have experienced the closing of several of our bank and merchant processing accounts since March 2014. We have been able to open other bank accounts. However, we may have other banking accounts closed. These factors impact management and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of medical marijuana laws and regulations may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

Currently, there are thirty three states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulation that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering legislation to similar effect. As of the date of this writing, the policy and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis for personal use is prohibited on the basis of federal law and may or may not be permitted on the basis of state law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis on a regional or national basis may directly and adversely affect the willingness of customers of GrowLife to invest in or buy products from GrowLife that may be used in connection with cannabis. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect revenues and profits of the GrowLife companies.

Our history of net losses has raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.

Our history of net losses has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and as a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 with respect to this uncertainty. Accordingly, our ability to continue as a going concern will require us to seek alternative financing to fund our operations. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities or otherwise. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurance that we can again achieve or maintain profitability.

We have experienced net losses since inception. As of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $147.2 million. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability.

We are subject to corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.

We must comply with corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as additional rules and regulations currently in place and that may be subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules, and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. We are required to include management’s report on internal controls as part of our annual report pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We strive to continuously evaluate and improve our control structure to help ensure that we comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations is expected to remain substantial.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules, and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting, and similar matters. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and the value of our securities.

Our inability or failure to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our strategy envisions growing our business. We plan to expand our product, sales, administrative and marketing organizations. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new and retain contributing employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:

	●	expand our products effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
	●	allocate our human resources optimally;
	●	meet our capital needs;
	●	identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or
	●	incorporate effectively the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly based on customer acceptance of our products. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are unlikely to provide a good indication of our future performance. Management expects that we will experience substantial variations in our net sales and operating results from quarter to quarter due to customer acceptance of our products. If customers don’t accept our products, our sales and revenues will decline, resulting in a reduction in our operating income.

Customer interest for our products could also be impacted by the timing of our introduction of new products. If our competitors introduce new products around the same time that we issue new products, and if such competing products are superior to our own, customers’ desire for our products could decrease, resulting in a decrease in our sales and revenues. To the extent that we introduce new products and customers decide not to migrate to our new products from our older products, our revenues could be negatively impacted due to the loss of revenue from those customers. In the event that our newer products do not sell as well as our older products, we could also experience a reduction in our revenues and operating income.

If we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our product and service offerings. To that end we have engaged in the process of identifying new product opportunities to provide additional products and related services to our customers. The process of identifying and commercializing new products is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends our business could be harmed. We may have to commit significant resources to commercializing new products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on commercializing those products because of errors in product planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and a reduction in net sales and earnings.

The success of new products depends on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion and introduction of these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.

Our future success depends on our ability to grow and expand our customer base. Our failure to achieve such growth or expansion could materially harm our business.

To date, our revenue growth has been derived primarily from the sale of our products and through the purchase of existing businesses. Our success and the planned growth and expansion of our business depend on us achieving greater and broader acceptance of our products and expanding our customer base. There can be no assurance that customers will purchase our products or that we will continue to expand our customer base. If we are unable to effectively market or expand our product offerings, we will be unable to grow and expand our business or implement our business strategy. This could materially impair our ability to increase sales and revenue and materially and adversely affect our margins, which could harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.

If we incur substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement actions resulting from misconduct by our distributors, our financial condition could suffer. We will require that our distributors comply with applicable law and with our policies and procedures. Although we will use various means to address misconduct by our distributors, including maintaining these policies and procedures to govern the conduct of our distributors and conducting training seminars, it will still be difficult to detect and correct all instances of misconduct. Violations of applicable law or our policies and procedures by our distributors could lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by various federal, state, or foreign regulatory authorities against us and/or our distributors. and could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have a negative impact on our sales, revenue, profitability and growth prospects. As we are currently in the process of implementing our direct sales distributor program, we have not been, and are not currently, subject to any material litigation, complaint or enforcement action regarding distributor misconduct by any federal, state or foreign regulatory authority.

Our future manufacturers could fail to fulfill our orders for products, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, harm our reputation and potentially cause us to lose our market.

We may depend on contract manufacturers in the future to produce our products. These manufacturers could fail to produce products to our specifications or in a workmanlike manner and may not deliver the units on a timely basis. Our manufacturers may also have to obtain inventories of the necessary parts and tools for production. Any change in manufacturers to resolve production issues could disrupt our ability to fulfill orders. Any change in manufacturers to resolve production issues could also disrupt our business due to delays in finding new manufacturers, providing specifications and testing initial production. Such disruptions in our business and/or delays in fulfilling orders would harm our reputation and would potentially cause us to lose our market.

Our inability to effectively protect our intellectual property would adversely affect our ability to compete effectively, our revenue, our financial condition and our results of operations.

We may be unable to obtain intellectual property rights to effectively protect our business. Our ability to compete effectively may be affected by the nature and breadth of our intellectual property rights. While we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that any such actions will adequately protect our interests. If we are unable to secure intellectual property rights to effectively protect our technology, our revenue and earnings, financial condition, and/or results of operations would be adversely affected.

We may also rely on nondisclosure and non-competition agreements to protect portions of our technology. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or proprietary knowledge, or that third parties will not independently develop the technology.

We do not warrant any opinion as to non-infringement of any patent, trademark, or copyright by us or any of our affiliates, providers, or distributors. Nor do we warrant any opinion as to invalidity of any third-party patent or unpatentability of any third-party pending patent application.

Our industry is highly competitive and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors, which may give them an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.

We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.

Transfers of our securities may be restricted by virtue of state securities “blue sky” laws, which prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.

Transfers of our common stock may be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "blue sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities held by many of our stockholders have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions may prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. Investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management and other personnel, some of whom could be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man life insurance covering our officers. Our success will depend on the performance of our officers and key management and other personnel, our ability to retain and motivate our officers, our ability to integrate new officers and key management and other personnel into our operations, and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our failure to retain and recruit officers and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have limited insurance.

We have limited directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and limited commercial liability insurance policies. Any significant claims would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Chicago Venture could have significant influence over matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

Chicago Venture, Iliad and St. George

As a result of funding from Chicago Venture, Iliad and St. George as previously detailed, they exercise significant control over us.

If these companies were to choose to act together, they would be able to significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our officers, directors, management and affairs. For example, these companies, if they choose to act together, could significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other stockholders may desire.

Trading in our stock is limited by the SEC’s penny stock regulations.

Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$ 5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than US $5.00 per share, subject to certain exclusions (e.g., net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000 or average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years). The penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Finally, broker-dealers may not handle penny stocks under $0.10 per share.

These disclosure requirements reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules would affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities if we become subject to them in the future. The penny stock rules also could discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock to future investors, resulting in limited ability for investors to sell their shares.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as:

● Halting of trading by the SEC or FINRA.

●	Announcements by us regarding liquidity, legal proceedings, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments, loan, note payable and agreement defaults, loss of our subsidiaries and impairment of assets,

●	Issuance of convertible or equity securities for general or merger and acquisition purposes,

●	Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes,

●	Sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock by shareholders,

●	General market and economic conditions,

●	Quarterly variations in our operating results,

●	Investor relation activities,

●	Announcements of technological innovations,

●	New product introductions by us or our competitors,

●	Competitive activities, and

●	Additions or departures of key personnel.

These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

The sale of a significant number of our shares of common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of September 30, 2019, there were approximately 3.86 billion shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, as of September 30, 2019, there are also (i) stock option grants outstanding for the purchase of 82.5 million common shares at a $0.010 average exercise price; (ii) warrants for the purchase of 362.8 million common shares at a $0.023 average exercise price; and (iii) 118.4 million shares related to convertible debt that can be converted at $0.0025 per share.

In addition, we have an unknown number of common shares to be issued under the Crossover financing agreements in the case of default.

In addition, we have an unknown number of common shares to be issued under the Chicago Venture, Iliad and St. George financing agreements because the number of shares ultimately issued to Chicago Venture depends on the price at which Chicago Venture converts its debt to shares and exercises its warrants. The lower the conversion or exercise prices, the more shares that will be issued to Chicago Venture upon the conversion of debt to shares. We won’t know the exact number of shares of stock issued to Chicago Venture until the debt is actually converted to equity. If all stock option grant and warrant and contingent shares are issued, approximately 4.724 billion of our currently authorized 6 billion shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding. For purposes of estimating the number of shares issuable upon the exercise/conversion of all stock options, warrants and contingent shares, we assumed the number of shares and average share prices detailed above.

These stock option grant, warrant and contingent shares could result in further dilution to common stockholders and may affect the market price of the common stock.

Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders. As affiliates as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or Rule 144 of the Company, our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144.

These stock option grant, warrant and contingent shares could result in further dilution to common stockholders and may affect the market price of the common stock.

Some of our convertible debentures and warrants may require adjustment in the conversion price.

Our Convertible Notes Payable may require an adjustment in the current conversion price of $0.002535 per share if we issue common stock, warrants or equity below the price that is reflected in the convertible notes payable. Our warrant with St. George may require an adjustment in the exercise price. The conversion price of the convertible notes and warrants will have an impact on the market price of our common stock. Specifically, if under the terms of the convertible notes the conversion price goes down, then the market price, and ultimately the trading price, of our common stock will go down. If under the terms of the convertible notes the conversion price goes up, then the market price, and ultimately the trading price, of our common stock will likely go up. In other words, as the conversion price goes down, so does the market price of our stock. As the conversion price goes up, so presumably does the market price of our stock. The more the conversion price goes down, the more shares are issued upon conversion of the debt which ultimately means the more stock that might flood into the market, potentially causing a further depression of our stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire our company, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring our company, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

We may issue preferred stock that could have rights that are preferential to the rights of common stock that could discourage potentially beneficially transactions to our common shareholders.

An issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over our common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve. The issuance of preferred stock could impair the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of common stockholders without their approval.

If the company were to dissolve or wind-up, holders of our common stock may not receive a liquidation preference.

If we were too wind-up or dissolve the Company and liquidate and distribute our assets, our shareholders would share ratably in our assets only after we satisfy any amounts we owe to our creditors. If our liquidation or dissolution were attributable to our inability to profitably operate our business, then it is likely that we would have material liabilities at the time of liquidation or dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot give you any assurance that sufficient assets will remain available after the payment of our creditors to enable you to receive any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares you may hold.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We have compensated consultants and service providers with restricted common stock during the development of our business and when our capital resources were not adequate to provide payment in cash.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had the following sales of unregistered sales of equity securities.

Chicago Venture converted principal and accrued interest of $300,000 into 93,470, 977 shares of our common stock at a per share conversion price of $0.0031.

We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Crossover as a commitment fee that was valued at fair market value at $.005 per share. On September 20, 2019, we closed a Secured Advance Note with Crossover Capital Fund I LLC (the "Crossover Note"). We entered into the Crossover Note with the intent to acquire working capital to grow our businesses. The total amount of funding under the Crossover Note is $250,000. The Crossover Note carries an original issue discount of $57,400 and a transaction expense amount of $7,000, for total debt of $308,400. We agreed to reserve three times the number of shares based on the conversion value in case of default under the Crossover Note, if that occurs in the future. The Crossover Note is due in nine months and is repayable weekly at $9,205. The Crossover Note is convertible into our common stock at market value share subject to adjustment as provided for in the Crossover Note in the case of default. Our obligation to pay the Crossover Note, or any portion thereof, is secured by all of our assets. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal balance due Crossover was $299,195 and we expensed the original issue discount of $57,400 and a transaction expense amount of $7,000.
