Organization
Indoor Harvest Corp., or the "Company," is a Texas corporation formed on November 23, 2011. Our principal executive office is located at 5300 East Freeway Suite A, Houston, Texas 77020.
Business
Indoor Harvest Corp, through its brand name Indoor Harvest®, is a full service, state of the art design-build, engineering, procurement and construction firm for the indoor and vertical farming industry. The company provides production platforms, mechanical systems and complete custom designed build outs for both Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA") and Building Integrated Agriculture ("BIA"), tailored to the specific needs of virtually any cultivar.
CEA is the process of manipulating any agricultural technology to allow the farmer an ability to manipulate a crop's environment to desired conditions. Technologies include greenhouse production, hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics and aeroponics. Controlled variables may include temperature, lighting, humidity, pH and nutrient analysis.
BIA is the process of locating CEA methods on, or in, mixed use buildings to provide synergy with the buildings infrastructure and the agriculture process. Earliest examples of BIA include the use of hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics, where waste heat is captured through the buildings existing heating, ventilation and air conditioning system as well as the combined use of solar, rainwater collection and evaporative systems. Current operating examples include such buildings as Eli Zabar's rooftop greenhouse, The Sun Works Center for Environmental Studies, Gotham Greens, Sky Vegetables, Top Sprouts, Cityscape Farms, Dongtan, Masdar City, AeroFarms, Solar 2, Lufa Farms, BrightFarms, FarmedHere, Green Sense Farms, Green Spirit Farms and Big Box Farms. The term building-integrated agriculture was coined by Dr. Ted Caplow in a paper delivered at the 2007 Passive and Low Energy Cooling Conference in Crete, Greece.
We currently offer a vertical farm racking system with integrated LED lighting. Our vertical farm racking system was designed to be used for both aeroponic and hydroponic layered crop production within a CEA or BIA operation. Our racking system will work with any standard 48" X 96" or 24" X 48" third party flood table or aeroponic system. We also offer patent pending aeroponic fixtures that are compatible with our vertical farm racking system. We offer our vertical farm racking system and aeroponic fixtures for use by both horticulture enthusiasts and commercial operators who seek to utilize vertical farming methods within a controlled indoor environment.
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Because water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics.
The Company generates revenue from vertical farm rack system sales, aeroponic fixture sales and design build construction management services. Our products are designed for the production of aeroponic and hydroponic leafy greens, micro-greens, fruiting plants and herbs. Our fixtures and systems can also be adapted for a variety of other uses such as horticulture research, medicinal plant production, pharmaceutical plant production, plant cloning and hardwood propagation.
In addition to these products, the Company also generates revenue from engineering, procurement and construction management services. Engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) is a common form of contracting arrangement for very large infrastructure and facility projects. Under an EPCM arrangement, the client engages the Company to coordinate all design, procurement and construction work to assure that the whole project is completed as required.
Our Products
There are currently several different growing technologies being deployed in vertical indoor farming operations. The most common of these technologies include the following: nutrient film technology, ebb and flow systems (flood and drain), drip irrigation, water culture systems, raft systems and aeroponic systems. Aeroponics is a method of growing plants in a sealed environment by suspending plant roots in an automated atomized liquid nutrient environment. Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil.
The Indoor Harvest® Modular HP-Aeroponics Platform
The system comprises of seven primary fixture components that consist of an Aeroponic Growth Tray, Aeroponic Growth Lid, Aeroponic Spray Manifold, Aeroponic Pressure Manifold, Nutrient Delivery System, Water Reclamation and Recirculation System, and Lift Station. Each of these individual modular fixtures are combined to create custom configurations suitable for any form of indoor growing environment.
|
Initially designed for the production of leafy greens, micro-greens, fruiting plants and herbs, our fixtures can be easily adapted for a variety of other uses, such as horticultural research, medicinal plant production, plant cloning and hardwood propagation.

Design-Build, Engineering, Procurement and Construction Services
In addition to the products above, the Company also offers both design build and engineering, procurement and construction management services. Design-Build ("DB"), or Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management ("EPCM") are both common forms of contracting arrangement to design, construct and deliver large infrastructure and facility projects. Under a DB/EPCM arrangement, the client would engage the Company to coordinate all design, procurement and construction work to ensure that the whole project is completed as required.
DB/EPCM agreements offer the following benefits:
· | Custom design and engineering |
· | Clear and concise project cost estimates |
· | Risk assessment |
· | Pre-construction planning and drawings |
· | Management of manufacturing and sub-contracting |
· | General construction management |
· | Turn key operations |
Our two phase DB/EPCM process offers complete design, engineering, procurement and construction services. We discuss with clients their space and crop selections before we offer guidance on production platforms. Our DB/EPCM agreements are designed to begin a risk assessment, production design, including space design if no client side architect is involved. The first phase of a project, also known as the execution phase, which normally follows what is known as a FEED, or Front End Engineering Design phase. The FEED is a basic engineering design used as the basis for the second phase and is required to produce price estimates or a purchase order. The FEED can be divided into separate packages covering different portions of a project and generally requires an upfront deposit to begin. In some cases, the DB/EPCM contract requires us to execute and deliver the project within an agreed time and budget, commonly known as a Lump Sum Turn Key ("LSTK") Contract. In other cases where projects may have many unknown risks, are research and development heavy, or where first-of-its kind equipment is being specified. In these cases, Cost Plus (CP) agreements, which require reimbursement of expenses plus a percent for profit, may be used to spread risk to the client.
Once Phase One design work is complete, we deliver the client a manufacturing and construction estimate and plans. Phase Two includes construction and construction management services. Under a phase two DB/EPCM agreement, our engineers provide detailed engineering design of the project, procure all the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct to deliver a functioning facility or asset to the client. Our platform architects, engineers and project managers examine every aspect of a potential build-out (or upgrade from a legacy platform). We design for a clients crop selection using various hydroponic production methods with a specialty in High Pressure Aeroponic systems. We rigorously test every individual system component (whether designed by us or by one of our technology partners) in our Texas-based R&D facility.
Noesis Financing for Products and Services

The monthly base rent is $4,200 increasing 6% every two years for the term of the lease. The property is adequate for all of the Company's currently planned activities. On March 1, 2014, we relocated our equipment to this leased space and ceased operations at our original research and development facility.
On December 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation (formerly Tweed Marijuana Inc.), a Canadian company. Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth") is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company. Its wholly owned subsidiaries Tweed Inc., Tweed Farms Inc. (formerly Prime1 Construction Services Corp.) and Bedrocan Canada are licensed producers of medical cannabis in Canada. The principal activities of Canopy Growth are the production and sale of cannabis through its wholly owned subsidiaries as regulated by the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.
Set forth below is a brief description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement that are material to Indoor Harvest:
The Pilot Project will test the production of Cannabis using an aeroponics system designed by Indoor Harvest. The Pilot Project will make a record of the growth rate, phytocannabinoid production, water usage, fertilizer usage and labor using the aeroponics system(s) provided by Indoor Harvest. The recorded data from the Pilot Project will be compared to Tweed's existing production methods. At the conclusion of the Pilot Project, upon review of the data, Canopy Growth and Indoor Harvest shall jointly secure intellectual property rights for the resulting aeroponics system(s) (at each Party's discretion as to whether they wish to participate in intellectual property filings) and Indoor Harvest will be provided manufacturing rights.
The Pilot Project is broken into two separate phases, as follows:
·
|
During Phase One, tests will be conducted using equipment initially provided by Indoor Harvest. The purpose of Phase One is to test the initial design and evaluate the root mass development of various strains of Cannabis chosen by Canopy Growth.
|
·
|
Upon completion of Phase One, Canopy Growth, based on the results of Phase One, will have the option to request Design Build services to be provided by Indoor Harvest. Indoor Harvest will provide these services free of charge. Indoor Harvest will provide projected costs associated with the manufacture and installation of the new aeroponics designs. TweedCanopy Growth will then have the option to purchase equipment from Indoor Harvest based on these projected costs. There is no obligation to purchase equipment under the Agreement.
|
Indoor Harvest will be responsible for providing all the equipment related to the aeroponics system being tested, to include a temporary partitioned testing lab structure to be used within Canopy Growth's existing facilities and the cost associated with delivery and installation of the aeroponics system and testing lab, including design changes and subsequent changes based on feedback from Phase One testing.
Canopy Growth will be responsible for providing adequate space in a Controlled Environment for testing purposes to include water service, local area drain and electrical service. Canopy Growth will also provide the personnel and labor to operate and maintain the equipment provided by Indoor Harvest. Canopy Growth will make a reasonable effort to provide Indoor Harvest with weekly updates to include photographs of the plants being grown and their root development as well as all associated data required under the Agreement.
The Pilot Project shall be conducted for a period (the "Pilot Period") commencing on the date of this Agreement (the "Commencement Date") and ending (the "Termination Date") upon the earlier of (a) the parties' mutual determination that the Pilot Criteria has been satisfied or (b) one year after the Commencement Date. This agreement can be extended if both parties mutually agree in writing.
Upon completion of the Pilot Project, Indoor Harvest and Canopy Growth will jointly apply for patents ("New IP") on the technology developed under the Pilot Agreement. Canopy Growth will be provided exclusive rights to cultivate cannabis using the New IP in Canada and other jurisdictions outside the United States, at a royalty-free rate for the duration of the patent (including any extension of the patent). Indoor Harvest will have exclusive royalty-free rights to cultivate cannabis using the New IP in the United States for the duration of the patent (including any extension of the patent) and will be provided rights to use the New IP in all jurisdictions, royalty-free, for the cultivation of all other species of cultivars, to specifically exclude cultivation of cannabis using the New IP. Indoor Harvest will only have rights to cultivate cannabis in the United States using the New IP. All of these rights are intended to be for commercial production of cultivars.
Indoor Harvest will be provided exclusive manufacturing rights for a period of 10 years on the New IP developed under the agreement. All equipment manufactured by Indoor Harvest will be provided to Canopy Growth by way of a "cost plus agreement" not to exceed 15% allowable for profit.
Both parties are responsible for the costs associated with meeting their obligations outlined in this Agreement. Under no circumstance, do Canopy Growth's costs exceed those associated with the cost of plants, labor and general costs of production including water and electricity. However, any costs related to third party laboratory analysis and testing of phytocannabinoids will be shared equally by both parties.
On March 31, 2015 the Company signed a LOI with the City of Pasadena, Texas to fund the establishment and provisioning of an indoor agricultural facility (vertical farm) to be located in Pasadena, Texas. Under the LOI, the City was to provide Indoor Harvest, or a partner of their designation with City approval, with two facilities owned by the City for the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) per annum for a period not to exceed twenty (20) years as well as provide tax abatements on these properties for use in the construction of a Community Located Agricultural Research Area ("CLARA") project. In addition, the Pasadena Second Century Corp. (economic development entity for the City of Pasadena) has been asked by City officials to consider a budgetary proposal of $500,000 as seed money for the project's economic development portion in north Pasadena.
The CLARA project is expected to be divided into two phases. Phase One will focus on developing the non-profit aspects of the project and is envisioned to include the construction of a 6,000 sq. ft. vertical farm R&D facility and 6,000 sq. ft. of classroom and office space. Phase Two is envisioned to support a commercial retail operation on approximately two acres of land and additional properties adjacent to the vertical farm and education centers.
The Phase One vertical farm facility is intended to serve dual roles, with Indoor Harvest using the facility as a demonstration farm and R&D facility and Harris County BUILD Partnership, a non-profit group, using the facility for educational and charitable purposes. It is anticipated that the crops grown will be donated, or sold at cost, to provide fresh produce to low income families in the North Pasadena area. The entire proposed campus area, almost two city blocks, will be designed and built to allow the flow of tourists without impacting operations. A project overview was presented in August to department heads at the Pasadena Independent School District's Kirk Lewis Career & Technical High School and the Continuing and Professional Development Department of San Jacinto College regarding academic curriculum development to be located at the CLARA campus.
Phase Two of the project is anticipated to be developed on two acres of land and additional buildings currently available adjacent to the existing properties being provided by the City. Indoor Harvest, as the primary developer of the campus, expects to be able to provide commercial operators who build on the CLARA campus a unique group of incentives and key advantages in regards to distribution, manufacturing intelligence and access to resourcing and key agricultural production talent. The City of Pasadena is currently working to secure additional land surrounding the CLARA campus for use by commercial partners.
In addition, City officials are currently considering creating a tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ) in the immediate area surrounding the CLARA campus. A TIRZ is a public financing structure that Texas law allows to target tax revenue helping to support redevelopment in underserved areas. Such a zone, if created, could provide an additional economic incentive for tangential services to locate on the project site. As of now, the City is not obligated to create a TIRZ zone and no such zone may ever come to fruition.
On April 15, 2015, the Company signed a LOI with PUE 1.0. Under the terms of the letter of intent, it is anticipated that a final agreement will include the following terms: Indoor Harvest will be responsible for the design of a vertical farming system and its related systems. PUE 1.0 will be responsible for the design of a HVAC system to be used with Indoor Harvest's vertical farming design. Both parties have agreed to share any data during the development stage. PUE 1.0 will retain all rights to its intellectual property and any new intellectual property developed as part of the collaboration. Indoor Harvest will be provided exclusive rights to market and distribute the final design for a period to be determined by way of a memorandum of understanding, to be finalized in connection with the closing of terms outlined in our letter of intent with the City of Pasadena. During the development stage, all equipment to be provided by PUE 1.0 for the purpose of the technology and economic pilot to be constructed at the 112 N Walter property will be provided at cost.
On December 1, 2015, the City of Pasadena, Texas, unanimously voted in favor of a Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement with Indoor Harvest for the purpose of establishing CLARA, an open source, vertical farm and education campus on the City’s north side.
The agreement relates to an indoor vertical farming facility to be utilized in research, testing and prototyping of hydroponic and aeroponic plant nutrient growing systems, and as a showroom of the various equipment/technology used in these environments. It will contain such growing areas as deemed appropriate to provide proof-of-concept for Indoor Harvest design and engineering, and education facilities, classrooms or other areas where training in vertical farm management may be accomplished.
The effective date of the transfer of the City facilities to the constructive use of Indoor Harvest or its assigns, and the binding of Indoor Harvest and the City to all terms of this agreement, will commence on the date Indoor Harvest certifies in writing that an adequate level of funding exists [$4.0 million or a lesser sum Indoor Harvest agrees to and the certification of such funding being sufficient to undertake the repurposing of the City buildings and to commence the operations envisioned by the agreement no later than April 15, 2016]. Unless and until such written certification is presented by Indoor Harvest to the City, this agreement is contemplative of future agreement only but is not binding on either party.
The entire duration of the agreement period when conditions and performance requirements are adequately met by both parties.
Under the agreement, Indoor Harvest agreed to the following:
· | Manage all activities directly related to engineering and product design development and to be held liable for capital expenditures to produce designs, build, install, source crop genetics and establish and maintain system settings. |
· | Pay ongoing costs for production from seed to packaging, Indoor Harvest equipment and resources, and building maintenance. |
· | Coordinate harvesting, packaging suppliers and branded elements as required providing equitable distribution of available produce, crops, plants and like agricultural products shall be guided by the BUILD partnership’s policy goals, to be made in consideration of specific growing cycles, research priorities and unforeseen exigencies. |
The City of Pasadena will provide both facilities named above for the sum of $10 per annum for a period not to exceed twenty (20) years to Indoor Harvest. As additional consideration for Indoor Harvest’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, for a period of ten (10) years beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2027, the City will rebate property taxes levied by the City and paid by Indoor Harvest on all personal property acquired and installed within said facilities each calendar year and any property taxes paid by Indoor Harvest on the increase in the value of the land associated therewith.
On December 14, 2015 we entered into an agreement with Noesis to provide financing programs for our products and services. Under the agreement, the Company will be provided access to multiple Noesis lenders that support lease/loan vehicles tailored for HVAC, lighting & controls, building equipment, municipalities and specialty projects. In addition, the Company is provided loan/lease vehicles for solar, energy service agreements and PACE vehicles. The Noesis platform provides a back end proposal and quoting support system that integrates into the Company's client sales platform. The Noesis platform provides the following benefits:
· | Promotional programs and low interest payment plans. Lowest municipal rates. Custom credit products and programs. All to meet the unique needs of commercial EE equipment buyers. |

On December 17, 2015 we entered into a design partnership with Freight Farms to jointly explore new cultivar platforms. Freight Farms, makers of the Leafy Green Machine shipping container farms, will leverage Indoor Harvest’s unique expertise as the leading design-build firm of indoor farms to explore innovative new applications for its Leafy Green Machine. Freight Farms launched in 2010 to create a more sustainable and connected food system by creating highly sustainable farms in shipping containers. To date, there are more than 108 farmers across the United States and Canada utilizing Freight Farms to bring fresh, local produce directly into their communities. Currently, the farms can be used to grow varieties of lettuces, brassicas and herbs.
The companies will work together to explore how Freight Farms’ containerized approach to indoor farming could be deployed in new ways to reach into untapped markets, including those internationally, as well as applications for non-profits and pharmaceutical research. Freight Farms is already deployed by academic institutions, restaurants, wholesale produce distributors and small business owners.
On January 27, 2016 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") with IGES Canada Ltd. ("IGESCA"), a Canadian company that is a technology solution integrator in the vertical farming market. The MOA sets forth terms for a relationship between the Company and IGESCA to grow, market and sell vertical farming solutions globally.
Subject to the terms of the MOU, IGESCA and Indoor Harvest agree to partner to market and sell Indoor Harvest's solutions in conjunction with the IGESCA business platform to clients globally. Our responsibilities include Delivering Turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) solutions for CEA facilities, ongoing support and access to financing options through Noesis for designated projects. The responsibilities of IGESCA include identifying new and concluding project engagements from the current potential portfolio of 15 facilities, ongoing operations and regulatory navigation.
Both Indoor Harvest and IGESCA agree that any intellectual property, which is jointly developed and filed through activities covered under this MOA, can be used by either party for sales/marketing purposes with the consent of the other party which can be set forth in initial guidance. All other intellectual property used in the implementation of the MOA will remain the property of the party that provided it. This property can be used by either party for purposes covered by the MOA but consent will be obtained from the owner of the property before using it for purposes not covered by the MOA. The MOA shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years from that date signing unless earlier terminated.
Research and Development
From September 18, 2012 through October 31, 2012, we completed an initial prototype system test by growing 110 basil plants. The test resulted in an average 1.7 lbs of basil per square foot in 30 days using under 2 gallons of water per plant drain to waste. Upon completion of the test, we made design changes to our lid system and nutrient dispensing system prototypes.
From March 8, 2013 through April 8, 2013, we completed a second prototype system test by growing 110 heads of leafy lettuce to include three types of lettuce, bibb lettuce, buttercrunch lettuce and romaine lettuce. The test resulted in an average head weight of 1/4 lbs in 28 days and water use of under 3 gallons per head drain to waste. Upon completion of the test, we made design changes to our lighting system, updated the framing system and put two prototype grow trays into vertical operation.
From July 13, 2013 through August 22, 2013, we completed a third prototype system test by growing 220 heads of leafy lettuce to include four types of lettuce, bibb lettuce, buttercrunch lettuce, romaine lettuce and ruby red lettuce. The test resulted in average head weight of 1/4 lbs in 30 days and 1/2 lbs in 40 days. During this period the Company also conducted research and development of lighting and controls, comparing the performance of LED lighting and T5 fluorescent lighting. Also during this period the Company tested its second nutrient dispensing prototype running two vertically stacked grow trays simultaneously.
In January 2015, we began construction of a controlled environment testing facility. The facility will be used to test production yields for a variety of cultivars using both our aeroponic and vertical farm framing designs. This data will then be used to develop business plans and marketing materials for our product and services. As of the date of this report, we had completed the walls and partitions, area drainage and flooring. We expect to begin installing the ventilation, climate controls and research platforms in the third quarter of 2016.
From February 19 through March 7, 2015, the Company completed installation of three mobile research labs at Canopy Growth's, subsidiary Tweed located in Smith Falls Canada per a Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement between the two Companies.
The initial Cannabis Production Pilot took place between March and August 2015. A sativa dominant strain, Ghost Train Haze, was selected and 8 plants were grown in a 4' X 8' X 2' system using a "Screen of Green" cultivation method, in which plants are cropped and trained to produce a higher yield from a single plant. The Company's patent pending aeroponic system showed a significant increase in growth rate during the vegetative stage, as compared to more traditional production methods such as drip irrigation using coco.
Fertilizer usage was reduced by as much as 68% over Canopy Growth's existing production with the aeroponic system averaging 8 gallons a day under high pressure sodium and 9 gallons a day under LED, operating drain to waste. As tuning of the system progressed, average water use was reduced to approximately 5 gallons per day drain to waste. The Company believes that through additional tuning, more water savings for drain to waste and under recirculated operation can be achieved, and water use could be reduced by as much as 98% overall. Under 2,000 watts of high-pressure sodium lighting, the aeroponic system produced 3.1 pounds of dried flowers and under 1,040 watts of LED lighting produced 2.8 pounds of dried flowers in its initial test. The Company believes that with additional tuning, yield can be increased.
On September 28, 2015, the Company and Canopy Growth mutually agreed to extend collaborative research and development for an additional two years.
On December 10, 2015, we began a second pilot under our Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement with Canopy Growth. The results from this second pilot are expected on or before April 30, 2016.
Plan of Expanded Operations
Our plan of expanded operations for the next 12 months, assuming we secure the necessary funding, are set forth in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Potential Customers
We believe, based on our own formal and informal research that our products and services appeal to three distinct markets. Those markets include business-to-business clients, commercial growers and horticulture researchers who are currently using areoponics or other indoor growing technologies. We intend to market our products to these markets simultaneously. The following is a description of these markets.
Business-to-Business Clients - We currently have business-to-business ("B2B") relationships with Illumitex, Inc., Freight Farms, Inc. and IGES Canada Ltd.. B2B is a type of commerce transaction that exists between businesses, such as those involving a manufacturer and wholesaler, or a wholesaler and a retailer. B2B refers to business that is conducted between companies, rather than between a company and individual consumers. In addition to direct relationships, the Company has reseller, authorized dealer agreements with Hy-Light Group, Inc. and Hortistructure, Inc.. The Company expects to add additional B2B clients as well as expand its reseller and authorized dealer programs.
Commercial Growers - Commercial agriculture is beginning to migrate to CEA and BIA. We believe that our products and services provide an affordable vertical farming and turn-key facility solutions for urban commercial growers who produce for local restaurants, hotels, wholesale and retail markets. Our systems can also be used in re-forestation projects or other revitalization projects through the system's ability to clone and propagate a variety of plant cuttings and hardwood cuttings.
Horticulture Researchers - The modular nature of our system design and custom fabrication abilities allow for numerous configurations from the same system. Our platform provides a variety of aeroponic delivery methods and plant support structures from the same system. This provides maximum flexibility to researchers who are experimenting with different plant species and are attempting to keep costs down.
Currently, our potential client base is nearly evenly split, with 44% in Cannabis and 56% in edible produce production. We believe that cannabis has the potential to be a large market for our equipment. We are currently developing and offering products which could be specifically used in the production of cannabis under our agreement with Canopy Growth in Canada, where cannabis is legal throughout the country. We will only directly enter that market outside the U.S. where cannabis is legal, such as in Canada, and in the U.S. only in jurisdictions where cannabis is legal and only then if we do not believe there is any material likelihood that we could be found in violation of federal law in the U. S. through the sale of our products. See "Government Regulation and Certification," below.
Marketing
The company intends to offer its products to B2B clients, through authorized dealer groups and resellers, as well as offering direct commercial sales and design-build, engineering, procurement and construction services from our website. As of the date of this filing, we have one oral agreement with a distributor and four written agreements with B2B clients. We are currently developing our marketing plan, which may include some or all of the following marketing methods:
Direct Mail - The use of direct mail allows us to reach a wide audience within a targeted market. A direct mail campaign may consist of a letter of introduction and a brochure featuring the products and services provided by the Company.
Internet Marketing - The Company intends to utilize social networks such as YouTube and Facebook as well as reaching out to industry bloggers and news sites in order to reach potential customers. The company can also sponsor, or advertise with hydroponic and other related horticulture online forums, social networks and online magazines. The Company, in the future, plans to offer its products for sale via the internet.
The company intends to launch a social media network under the domain name aerofarmer.com. The company intends to host forums, articles and blogs related specifically to aeroponic indoor farming while also offering a retail sales point for its products and services.
Trade Shows and Special Events - The Company intends to participate in industry trade shows and events in order to create market awareness for its products and services.
We intend to market our products to customers desiring to grow all varieties of agricultural products. We do not intend to exclude the growers of any agricultural products, including cannabis, from our marketing efforts. As of the date of this report, we are developing and offering fixtures specifically for cannabis production in Canada under our agreement with Canopy Growth. All of our current fixtures can be adapted for use by cannabis growers. In the future we may develop additional fixtures, or be contracted to design additional systems, specifically for cannabis production. Marketing our products in the U.S. in state and local jurisdictions where marijuana is legal is still uncertain due to the uncertain legal status of the growth, sale and use of cannabis due to conflicting laws under which what is illegal federally is to varying extents legal under certain state laws to the contrary [and even greater uncertainty as to what would constitute ancillary illegal activities such as aiding or abetting if any such direct actions are deemed illegal; and even if direct illegality laws were enforced, whether any ancillary related laws such as aiding and abetting would, if ever, be enforced]. We believe that if the cannabis industry were to become fully legal under both U.S. federal and state law, then this industry may well be where the most advances in technology related to our products could come from. We are also working on developing cannabis-specific products in Canada under our agreement with Canopy Growth. Thus, it is not unreasonable, but is not certain, to assume that the cannabis industry will become the biggest market for the type of equipment that we manufacture.
Our Competition and Our Market Position
The vertical farming industry is estimated to reach $3.88 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 30.7% between 2015 and 2020 based on a report by MarketsandMarkets, the world's No. 2 firm in terms of annually published premium market research reports. There are several Companies operating vertical farms that are offering licensing and franchises based on proprietary systems and production methods. These Companies include Aerofarms, Truleaf, FarmedHere, UrbanBarns, Green Sense Farms and Green Spirit Farms. These Companies offer a turn-key platform and operation. We believe that this approach limits a clients options and burdens them with licensing and branding restrictions. We approach every client as an individual project and are able to offer a wide range of technologies and production methods. It is imperative that these competitors maintain control over production data to justify licensing. We believe the industry is moving towards open data and open source technologies that will reduce the advantage of individual licensing of production methods and platforms. We believe our design-build approach and utilization of open data of production and flexibility in system design provides us a competitive advantage.
There are two main manufacturers that currently manufacture high pressure aeroponic systems. They are Agrihouse™ and Aerofarms™. These companies are currently engaged in the manufacture and sales of commercial aeroponic vertical farming systems. These systems can only be used in a single mode with high pressure aeroponics and offer limited sizing options. Our system is capable of operating in dual modes, both LPA and HPA, and our AGT fixture is available in optional sizes that our competitors currently do not offer. There are also companies such as general Hydroponics® and Botanicare® that manufacture aeroponic and hydroponic growing systems for the hobbyist. These systems are only available in low pressure aeroponics and require individual reservoirs. They also are offered in limited sizes and are not designed for vertical operation. These systems only provide a single mode of operation.
We will be a small competitor in the industry. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.
We believe based upon management's knowledge of the industry that we are the first company to develop and offer a fixture based vertical farming platform. Instead of relying on a complete engineered system, we have developed individual fixtures that can be used in whole, or in part, to create a variety of modular vertical farming systems of any scale, or size. By breaking our platform down into individual, independent fixtures, we offer a level of custom ability that currently is not offered by our competitors.
Our fixtures can be used individually, or incorporated into do-it-yourself designed systems that many smaller commercial operators chose to build. This allows us to not only compete for sales to commercial growers who are developing their own systems, but also with growers who are looking for a complete system. We believe this will allow us to increases our market share and allows us to benefit from both commercial and retail sales. When combined with our engineering, procurement and construction management services, we can offer custom, turn-key facilities.
Current Projects
Late in the third quarter of 2015, the Company began offering its products and services to clients in the indoor farming industry.
Equipment Sales
In October, 2015, we received a $8,110 deposit towards a $16,220 equipment package for a custom designed shallow raft platform for a research project in Michigan.
In November, 2015, we received an order for a $89,200 equipment and installation package for our Low Tide VFRack system for a small owner-operator indoor microgreen farm. Installation was completed in December 2015.
In March, 2016, we received an order for discounted equipment to be used by the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering department at the University of Arizona. We agreed to provide equipment at cost for this project with $13,637 invoiced to date.
Design-Build, EPCM Agreements
On October 6, 2015, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus, original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") agreement, with a specialty building integrated agricultural cultivation facility in Colorado. The design-build agreement is to develop a 2,000 square foot customer specified platform and to provide pricing for OEM services. On October 26, 2015, an earnest money deposit of $5,000 was paid to begin design work. Design work was completed in January 2016 and we are now currently in discussions with the client to move towards prototyping and providing OEM services for all of their facilities.
On October 15, 2015, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement, to engineer the cultivation and mechanical systems for a 38,000 square foot, building integrated agricultural cannabis production facility in Maryland. On October 21, 2015, an earnest money deposit of $10,000 was paid to begin initial assessments. The project is currently on hold due to delays in the Maryland cannabis licensing process. The client was given an initial estimate assessment of $3.4 million to complete the project prior to signing the design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement.
On March 8, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM contract for a 7,000 sq. ft. cannabis production facility in Alaska. The contract includes an EPCM agreement for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls. The contract also includes an equipment schedule to provide 59 HPA units, 3 process skids with an estimated (not to exceed) contract price of $446,220, which included a $35,000 deposit to begin design work. Upon completion of the first phase of design work, additional pricing will be provided to the client for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls, which are not currently covered in the contract price.
Manufacturing
We will source our products and accessories from third party manufacturing companies that manufacture products in part using tooling we own, in accordance with our specifications, and subject to our patent pending intellectual property rights.
We currently own tooling to produce HDPE aeroponic trays in 48"X96"X12" and 48"X96"X24" sizes through a process known as rotational molding and thermoforming. We also own tooling to produce thermoformed molds in 24"X48" for ABS plastic. We currently out-source our rotational molding to Freeman Engineered Products and thermoforming to Robinson Industries. We are currently capable of manufacturing our VFRack framing systems in-house, though we may choose to sub contract to third parties depending on project location and number of fixtures purchased. We currently have no agreements with third parties to manufacture our products. We are capable of producing up to 800 frames per month currently in -house.
All of our products and fixtures are made using very common fabrication and manufacturing methods. We have access to numerous companies around the world that offer metal fabrication, powder coating and plastic thermoforming and rotational molding. We contract and source from companies based on geographic location and volume ability. We can transport our tooling from one manufacturer to another and in some cases we contract to have new tooling built depending on the volume of a clients order. Because we use common manufacturing methods and because our products are designed with these common manufacturing methods in mind, we are able to meet any scale or project size. Any volume limits or lead times based on available manufacturing is discussed with the client during the design phase and pricing phase. The capacity limits are those of our suppliers and manufacturers, not of ours. So if we have more orders than these suppliers and manufactures can supply parts and/or complete third party manufacturing in any month, we will advise our client of a delay in the delivery time.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent law, trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which are primarily our brand names, product designs and marks.
On December 6, 2011, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for Indoor Harvest (Serial Number 85488194) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") granted a first 6 month extension for use on January 5, 2013 and were granted a fifth extension for use on January 8, 2015. On August 18, 2015 we registered Indoor Harvest as a trademark for use.
On May 15, 2013 the Company filed a provisional application for patent on a "modular aeroponic system and related methods" (Serial Number 61/823,330) with the USPTO. The inventor was recorded as Chad Sykes, our CEO and sole Founder and Indoor Harvest Corp was named as the assignee. In order to obtain our patent, the Company will need to convert its provisional application for patent, into a non-provisional application for patent. On May 15, 2014, the Company converted its provisional patent into a non-provisional patent and recorded an expense of $1,730.
On September 22, 2015, we received our first office action from the USPTO. We have responded to comments on our patent application and await a response from the USTPO. We do not currently have a patent, the USPTO will conduct a further review of our patent application and provide us with comments. We must satisfy all comments before the USPTO will grant us a patent. There is no guarantee that a patent will be granted. While our patent application is under review, we may use the term "patent pending" on all published materials regarding our process applied for patent.
Governmental Regulation and Certification
We are not aware of any governmental regulations or approvals for any of our products or services.
As the possession and use of cannabis is illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, we could be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the equipment we intend to sell in the U.S. if such equipment is used by customers who intend to purchase and use our aeroponic and vertical farm framing systems to grow cannabis. Under Federal law, and more specifically the Federal Controlled Substances Act, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis is illegal. Our equipment could be used by persons or entities engaged in the business of possession, use, cultivation, and/or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illegal use of cannabis, could seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another's criminal activities. The Federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who "commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal." 18 U.S.C. §2(a). However, we do not believe that the Company's current and intended business as described in this report violates federal law and believe we would prevail if any such action were brought against us.
Additional Information
We are a public company and file annual, quarterly and special reports and other information with the SEC. We are not required to, and do not intend to, deliver an annual report to security holders. You may read and copy any document we file at the SEC's public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K.
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky.

Overview
Indoor Harvest Corp, through its brand name Indoor Harvest®, is a full service, state of the art design-build, engineering, procurement and construction firm for the indoor and vertical farming industry. The company provides production platforms, mechanical systems and complete custom designed build outs for both Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA") and Building Integrated Agriculture ("BIA"), tailored to the specific needs of virtually any cultivar.
CEA is the process of manipulating any agricultural technology to allow the farmer an ability to manipulate a crop's environment to desired conditions. Technologies include greenhouse production, hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics and aeroponics. Controlled variables may include temperature, lighting, humidity, pH and nutrient analysis.
BIA is the process of locating CEA methods on, or in, mixed use buildings to provide synergy with the buildings infrastructure and the agriculture process. Earliest examples of BIA include the use of hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics, where waste heat is captured through the buildings existing heating, ventilation and air conditioning system as well as the combined use of solar, rainwater collection and evaporative systems. Current operating examples include such buildings as Eli Zabar's rooftop greenhouse, The Sun Works Center for Environmental Studies, Gotham Greens, Sky Vegetables, Top Sprouts, Cityscape Farms, Dongtan, Masdar City, AeroFarms, Solar 2, Lufa Farms, BrightFarms, FarmedHere, Green Sense Farms, Green Spirit Farms and Big Box Farms. The term building-integrated agriculture was coined by Dr. Ted Caplow in a paper delivered at the 2007 Passive and Low Energy Cooling Conference in Crete, Greece.
We currently offer a vertical farm racking system with integrated LED lighting. Our vertical farm racking system was designed to be used for both aeroponic and hydroponic layered crop production within a CEA or BIA operation. Our racking system will work with any standard 48" X 96" or 24" X 48" third party flood table or aeroponic system. We also offer patent pending aeroponic fixtures that are compatible with our vertical farm racking system. We offer our vertical farm racking system and aeroponic fixtures for use by both horticulture enthusiasts and commercial operators who seek to utilize vertical farming methods within a controlled indoor environment.
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Because water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics.
The Company generates revenue from vertical farm rack system sales, aeroponic fixture sales and design build construction management services. Our products are designed for the production of aeroponic and hydroponic leafy greens, micro-greens, fruiting plants and herbs. Our fixtures and systems can also be adapted for a variety of other uses such as horticulture research, medicinal plant production, pharmaceutical plant production, plant cloning and hardwood propagation.
In addition to these products, the Company also generates revenue from engineering, procurement and construction management services. Engineering, procurement, and construction management" (EPCM) is a common form of contracting arrangement for very large infrastructure and facility projects. Under an EPCM arrangement, the client would engage the Company to coordinate all design, procurement and construction work to ensure that the whole project is completed as required.
We are an "emerging growth company" ("EGC") that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("the JOBS Act"), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) reporting and disclosure rules (See "Emerging Growth Companies" section above). We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Our operational expenditures are primarily related to developing our line of productions, developing our in-house manufacturing and fabrication facilities and the costs related to being a fully reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Current Projects
Late in the third quarter of 2015, the Company began offering its products and services to clients in the indoor farming industry.
Equipment Sales
In October, 2015, we received a $8,110 deposit towards a $16,220 equipment package for a custom designed shallow raft platform for a research project in Michigan.
In November, 2015, we received an order for a $89,200 equipment and installation package for our Low Tide VFRack system for a small owner-operator indoor microgreen farm. Installation was completed in December 2015.
In March, 2016, we received an order for discounted equipment to be used by the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering department at the University of Arizona. We agreed to provide equipment at cost for this project with $13,637 invoiced to date.
Design-Build, EPCM Agreements
On October 6, 2015, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus, original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") agreement, with a specialty building integrated agricultural cultivation facility in Colorado. The design-build agreement is to develop a 2,000 square foot customer specified platform and to provide pricing for OEM services. On October 26, 2015, an earnest money deposit of $5,000 was paid to begin design work. Design work was completed in January 2016 and we are now currently in discussions with the client to move towards prototyping and providing OEM services for all of their facilities.
On October 15, 2015, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement, to engineer the cultivation and mechanical systems for a 38,000 square foot, building integrated agricultural cannabis production facility in Maryland. On October 21, 2015, an earnest money deposit of $10,000 was paid to begin initial assessments. The project is currently on hold due to delays in the Maryland cannabis licensing process. The client was given an initial estimate assessment of $3.4 million to complete the project prior to signing the design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement.
On March 8, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM contract for a 7,000 sq. ft. cannabis production facility in Alaska. The contract includes an EPCM agreement for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls. The contract also includes an equipment schedule to provide 59 HPA units, 3 process skids with an estimated (not to exceed) contract price of $446,220, which included a $35,000 deposit to begin design work. Upon completion of the first phase of design work, additional pricing will be provided to the client for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls, which are not currently covered in the contract price.
Results of Operations
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 we generated revenue of $89,200 with cost of sales of $64,668 resulting in gross income of $24,532. We did not generate any revenue as of December 31, 2014.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we incurred $1,279,597 and $443,541, respectively, in operating expenses. The increase in our operating expenses are due to increases in costs related to additional payroll costs, building lease, increased operational activities and professional expenses related to being a publicly traded Company.
Our expenses related to research and development for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $20,518 and $36,080, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was due to decreased costs associated with our collaborative R&D partnerships, in which we share some costs associated with R&D with our partners.
As of December 31, 2015 we had total liabilities of $110,147, while at December 31, 2014, we had total liabilities of $21,245. The increase was the result of accrued payroll expenses from hiring new employees, accounts payable and accrued expenses, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and deferred rent on our building lease.
Deferred rent payable at December 31, 2015 was $9,778. Deferred rent payable is the sum of the difference between the monthly rent payment and the straight-line monthly rent expense of an operating lease that contains escalated payments in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2015, we had $168,804 in total current assets. We had current liabilities of $76,885 as of December 31, 2015. Accordingly, we had a working capital deficit of $91,919 as of December 31, 2015.
Operating activities used $704,230 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared with $411,335 used for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our negative operating cash flow for the year ended July 31, 2015 was mainly a result of our net loss for the period, offset by the effects of depreciation, loss on the sale of the asset, stock issued for services, increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expense, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings for the ongoing projects, decrease in accrued compensation and a decrease in deferred rent.
Investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 used $67,795 in cash, as compared with using $163,763 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 generated $461,262 in cash, as compared with $864,750 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Proceeds from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from issuance of common stock for cash.
Cash Requirements: Current Operational Activities
Our estimated minimum day-to-day operational costs, exclusive of those costs in our Plan of Operations for the next 12 months, as set forth above, are estimated to be approximately $430,800 to maintain current operational activities during the next 12 months. Our minimal annual operating expenses includes $352,000 in payroll expenses, our lease agreement for our 10,000 sq. ft. facility of $55,200 per year, our estimated annual utility expenses of $10,800 and $12,800 in miscellaneous operating expenses. In addition, we will have $75,000 in costs related to maintaining our publicly traded status over the next 12 months.
Cash Requirements: Additional Planned Operational Activities
During the next 12 months, we anticipate engaging in the additional planned operational activities set forth in the table below, although we may vary our plans depending upon operational conditions and available funding. We have reduced our previous capital expenditure plans from $5,000,000 to $2,500,000 due to unfavorable market conditions.

Existing Cash and Operational Cash Flow
As of March 27, 2016, we had $257,081 in cash and $14,023 in available credit facilities.
We are actively engaged in a number of current projects which are generating cash flow. We have established a strong B2B infrastructure that has led to over a dozen potential project referrals along with direct inquiries for facility build outs arriving at an average pace of approximately 10 per week. In addition to the key projects already discussed, our current sales pipeline consists of 13 facility build discussions with 6 in early to mid stage discussions covering 109,000 sq.ft and 7 in late stage negotiations covering 240,000 sq.ft of production. Currently, our potential client base is nearly evenly split, with 44% in Cannabis and 56% in edible produce production. However, we have no final agreements concerning these potential future projects and we may not ever secure final agreements.
FirstFire and Rockwell Bridge Financing for $250,000
On March 22, 2016 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, and Rockwell Capital Partners Inc, relating to the issuance and sale of notes of $272,500 in aggregate principal amount including $250,000 actual payment of purchase price plus a 9% original issue discount, and an aggregate total of 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $23,500 ($0.47/share). The notes carry an interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 3% per annum. Any Principal Amount or Interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the due date until the same is paid. The notes mature on September 22, 2016 and may be prepaid in whole or in part except otherwise explicitly set forth in the Note. If the Company exercises its right to prepay or repay the Note, the Company shall make payment to the note holders of an amount in cash equal to the sum of 125% multiplied by the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount to the Optional Prepayment Date plus Default Interest, if any. the notes convert into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $0.30; provided, however that from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the Conversion Price shall be the lower of: (i) the Fixed Conversion Price or (ii) 45% multiplied by the lowest sales price of the Common Stock in a public market during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Trading Day that the Company receives a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note).
Kodiak Capital Group LLC Investment Agreement for $2,000,000
On January 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (the “Purchaser”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser a number of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a purchase price equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of $2,000,000 (the “Put Shares”). In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 by March 31, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”) to register for resale the Put Shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, from the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared the Registration Statement effective (the “Effective Date”) until the one year anniversary thereof, the Company has the right to sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 Put Shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser. The Company will control the timing and amount of future sales, if any. The purchase price of the Put Shares will be equal to 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock for any trading day during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of the Company’s notice to the Purchaser requesting the purchase. If during the Valuation Period, the Purchase Price falls below $0.50, the Investor may elect to purchase all, or any portion thereof, of the Put Shares for $0.50.
There is no minimum amount that the Company may require the Purchaser to purchase at any one time. The Company may not require the Purchaser to purchase Put Shares of Common Stock if such purchase, together with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Note, would result in the Purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and indemnification and termination provisions. The Purchaser has covenanted not to cause or engage in any direct or indirect short selling of the Common Stock. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time at its discretion without any cost to the Company.
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are provided to give investors information regarding the agreements’ respective terms. They are not provided to give investors factual information about the Company or any other parties thereto. In addition, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to those agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of such agreements. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under these agreements and should not view the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company.
Discontinued Regulation D, Rule 504(c) Offering for $5,000,000
On February 27, 2016, the Company suspended its private placement under Regulation D, Rule 506(c) for up to 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share for maximum gross proceeds of $5,000,000 due to unfavorable market conditions. The Company also terminated its relationship with WealthForge, the broker-dealer retained to manage the offering. The Company is now exploring alternative financing for CLARA through grant funding, through the use of our Kodiak Capital Group Equity Purchase Agreement, or through other funding sources.
Meeting Cash Requirements
Based upon the assumption of our monthly current operational burn rate remaining unchanged during the fiscal year, exclusive of those costs in our Additional Planned Operations for the next 12, months as set forth above, the Company currently has sufficient funds through a combination of the Sources of Funding above to continue our current operations for the next 12 months. There is no assurance we will obtain the anticipated funds from our Sources of Funding. For example, in order to raise funding through our Equity Purchase Agreement, we will first have to clear a registration statement with the SEC. There can be no assurance that the funds from the Equity Purchase Agreement can be utilized, or that additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we don't obtain the anticipated funds from our Sources of Funding, and we don't take other measures such as cutting back operational activities, we may not have sufficient funds to continue operations for the next 12 months.
The ability to fund our Additional Planned Operational Activities is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. If we don't obtain the anticipated funds from our Sources of Funding beyond those needed for Current Operational Activities, we may be able to finance our Additional Planned Operations and continue growing our business.
We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. We cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient financial resources to fund Current Operational Activities and Additional Planned Operational Activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must continue to execute our business plan as described above.
We began offering our products and services during the 3rd Quarter of 2015. We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during 2016. Our auditor has indicated in their Report that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Not required.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Indoor Harvest Corp
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Indoor Harvest Corp, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Indoor Harvest Corp's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Indoor Harvest Corp as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Indoor Harvest Corp will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

The Accompanying Notes are an Integral Part of these Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations and organization
Indoor Harvest Corp., or the "Company," is a Texas corporation formed on November 23, 2011. Indoor Harvest Corp., through its brand name Indoor Harvest™, is a company specializing in equipment design, development, marketing and direct-selling of commercial grade aeroponics fixtures and supporting systems for use in urban Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA") and Building Integrated Agriculture ("BIA").
Indoor Harvest Corp is a Design-Build contractor for the vertical farming and indoor farming industry. The Company’s principal lines of business are engineering, procurement and construction services as well as manufactures a variety of indoor farming fixtures and equipment. The Company provides its products and services worldwide for controlled environment and building integrated agricultural operators.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include, but are not limited to the estimated useful lives of equipment for purposes of depreciation and the valuation of common shares issued for services, equipment and the liquidation of liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable and concentrations
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. We have determined that as of December 31, 2015 no allowance was required.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had a concentration of accounts receivable of $59,200 from one customer totaling 100%.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a concentration of sales of $89,200 with one customer totaling 100%.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a purchasing concentration of $44,970 with Illumitex, a manufacturer of LED lighting totaling 71%.
There were no such concentrations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Inventories
Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and packaging materials and is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and average cost is recomputed after each inventory purchase or sale. Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete or damaged inventory and impaired values. Inventory is comprised of raw materials such as steel for our framing systems and packaging materials such as boxes and pallets valued at $7,001 at December 31, 2015.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company will generate revenue from the design and installation of the equipment.
Revenue from construction contracts are reported under the percentage-of-completion method for financial statement purposes. The estimated revenue for each contract reflected in the financial statements represent that percentage of estimated total revenue that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs, based on the Company’s current estimates. With respect to contracts that extend over one or more accounting periods, revisions in costs and revenue estimates during the course of the work are reflected in the period the revisions become known. When current estimates of total contract costs indicate a loss, provision is made for the entire estimated loss.
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Billing practices for these projects are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon actual costs incurred, achievement of milestones, or pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. With the exception of claims and change orders that are in the process of being negotiated with customers, unbilled work is usually billed during normal billing processes following achievement of the contractual requirements.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, 100% of revenues were earned under this method.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had no revenues.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).
Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods, including dilutive effects of stock options, warrants granted and convertible preferred stock. Dilutive options and warrants that are issued during a period or that expire or are canceled during a period are reflected in the computations for the time they were outstanding during the periods being reported. Since Indoor Harvest has incurred losses for all periods, the impact of the common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in the calculation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740—Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
FASB ASC 740 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, the statement implements a process for measuring those tax positions that meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. and states in which it has operations and is subject to taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2008 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions. Tax years 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful life by asset description is noted in the following table:
Asset Description
|

|

|
||
* The shorter of 5 years or the life of the lease.
|
|
|
|
Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in other income.
Intangible Asset
The Company's intangible assets consist of domain names and is accounted for as an indefinite lived intangible asset in accordance with ASC 350 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("ASC 350"). It also includes software and is amortized over a 3-5 year period.
Domain names are not being amortized as they are determined to have indefinite lives.
Intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges taken during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
Patent and Patent Application Expenses
Although the Company believes that its patent and underlying technology will have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to be derived from the patent is uncertain. Therefore, patent costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expense was as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We do not believe any other recent pronouncements will have any impact on our presentation of financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,266,693, net cash used in operations of $704,230 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,921,771, for the year ended December 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on Management's plans which include potential asset acquisitions, mergers or business combinations with other entities, further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity financings. The Company will likely rely upon related party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business.
The business plan of the Company is to engage in the design, development, marketing and direct-selling of commercial grade aeroponics fixtures and supporting systems for use in urban Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA") and Building Integrated Agriculture ("BIA"). During the next twelve months, the Company's strategy is to: complete ongoing product development; commence product marketing, product assembly and sales; construct a demonstration CEA and BIA farm; and offer design-build services. The Company's long-term strategy is to direct sale, license and franchise their patented technologies and methods.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement where the advisor agreed to provide advertising and promotion services to the Company. The term of this agreement is three months. As a compensation for services the Company will issue 125,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $47,500 ($0.38/share), based upon the most recent trading price per share of the Company’s stock and $2,000. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company issued 125,000 common shares and paid $2000.
A Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement ("Agreement") was entered into as of the 18th day of December 2014 by and between Indoor Harvest Corp. ("Indoor Harvest"), a Texas Corporation, and Tweed Marijuana Inc. ("Tweed"), a Canadian company.
Tweed Marijuana Inc. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company. Its wholly owned subsidiaries Tweed Inc. and Tweed Farms Inc. (formerly Prime1 Construction Services Corp.) are licensed producers of medical cannabis in Canada. The principal activities of Tweed are the production and sale of cannabis through its wholly owned subsidiaries out of Tweed Inc.'s facility in Smiths Falls, Ontario and Tweed Farms Inc.'s facility in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario as regulated by the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.
Indoor Harvest will be provided exclusive manufacturing rights for a period of 10 years on the New IP developed under the Agreement. All equipment manufactured by Indoor Harvest will be provided to Tweed by way of a "cost plus agreement" not to exceed 15% allowable for profit.
Both parties are responsible for the costs associated with meeting their obligations outlined in this Agreement. Under no circumstance, do Tweed's costs exceed those associated with the cost of plants, labor and general costs of production including water and electricity. However, any costs related to third party laboratory analysis and testing of phytocannabinoids will be shared equally by both parties.
On February 20, 2014 the Company signed a 60 month lease on a 10,000 sqft. office/warehouse facility and paid a deposit of $12,600. The monthly base rent is $4,200 increasing 6% every two years for the term of the lease. The property is adequate for all of the Company's currently planned activities.
Deferred rent payable at December 31, 2015 was $9,778. Deferred rent payable is the sum of the difference between the monthly rent payment and the straight-line monthly rent expense of an operating lease that contains escalated payments in future periods.
Rent expense for the periods noted is as follows:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's Chief Executive Officer/ Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2015. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. This conclusion by the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after December 31, 2015.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the framework stated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Furthermore, due to our financial situation, we will be implementing further internal controls as we become operative so as to fully comply with the standards set by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on its evaluation as of December 31, 2015, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2015 due to the material weaknesses set forth below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses relates to the following:
1. Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses – Our current accounting staff is relatively small and we do not have the required infrastructure of meeting the higher demands of being a U.S. public Company. This material weakness also relates to a lack of personnel with expertise in preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in addition to the small size of the staff. We currently heavily rely on outsourced accounting staff.
This weakness also is due to our CEO and CFO being the same person.
2. Lack of Internal Audit Function – We lack sufficient resources to perform the internal audit function. This weakness also is due to our CEO and CFO being the same person.
In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, all work of the CFO is reviewed by a Director of the Company. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it will be immediately implemented. The Company continues to study the implementation of additional internal controls over accounting and financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following tables set forth the ownership, as of the date of this prospectus, of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our director, and our executive officer and director as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. The business address of the shareholders is 5300A East Freeway, Houston, Texas 77020.

This table is based upon information derived from our stock records. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, each of the shareholders named in this table has sole or shared voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned. Except as set forth above, applicable percentages are based upon 11,204,571 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2015.
There were no related party transactions in 2014 or 2015.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
L.L Bradford & Company, LLC was our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and RBSM LLP was our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014

As defined by the SEC, (i) "audit fees" are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-K, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) "audit-related fees" are fees for assurance and related services by our principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under "audit fees" (iii) "tax fees" are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) "all other fees" are fees for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported under "audit fees," "audit-related fees," and "tax fees."
Under applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors' independence. The SEC's rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee's responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent auditors. Until such time as we have an Audit Committee in place, the Board of Directors will pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors.
Consistent with the SEC's rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
