Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
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
We are currently in the process of implementing a significant change in our business focus and structure. We are seeking to use the relationships and technology we have developed to become a registered producer and seller under the federal Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”) of pharmaceutical grade cannabis for research and targeted treatment of specific medical symptoms. We plan to discontinue our efforts to sell our current products and services related to vertical farming to include our branding, equipment and services. Instead, we will focus on licensing the use of our current branding, products and services exclusively for all cultivars except for cannabis to The Harvest Group, a new separate company with most of the same management as now, which will be spun off from our current business and in which we will retain a minority interest.
Current Business and Operations
Indoor Harvest Corp, through its brand name Indoor Harvest®, is currently operating as 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 building's 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.

Active Potential Acquisition Plans and Status; Changes in Business Operations
On January 3, 2017, the Company signed a binding letter of intent with Alamo CBD, LLC (“Alamo CBD”) to enter discussions to combine and create a medical cannabinoids pharmaceutical group. Pursuant to the terms, the Company was required as a precondition to moving forward with the proposed transaction, to raise, as necessary, up to $1,000,000 in capital by February 15, 2017, to pay off all existing debt, including convertible notes, owed by the Company and to complete a spin-off of the Company’s produce related operations. On February 15, 2017 the Company and Alamo CBD extended the deadline until March 15, 2017.
From February 22, 2017 through March 15, 2017, the Company sold, in reliance upon Regulation D Rule 506, a total of 2,060,000 shares of Common Stock to 17 U.S. accredited investors at $0.40 per share for cash totaling $824,000 and the Company and Alamo CBD agreed that sufficient capital had been raised to meet preconditions. The Company and Alamo CBD expect to execute a Definitive Agreement on April 21, 2017 which is summarized below.
Summary of the proposed transaction
On March 16, 2017, the Company amended the original letter of intent with Alamo CBD and both parties have proposed the following general terms for the Definitive Agreement.
|
· | Indoor Harvest Corp will acquire 100% of the membership interest of Alamo CBD, LLC, the result of which will be that Alamo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Indoor Harvest. This would be a share to share exchange, under the original Alamo LOI provisions, in order to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. It is currently expected that the total number of shares to be issued to Alamo CBD, LLC will be 25,280,027 shares of common stock and that the total capital stock of Indoor Harvest Corp after Combination will be 41,953,378 shares of common stock. |
|
|
|
|
· | A new Company, to be named “The Harvest Group”, will be formed by exiting Officers and Directors of Indoor Harvest Corp. |
|
|
|
|
· | Indoor Harvest will execute a license agreement with The Harvest Group to permit the exclusivity to the High Pressure Aeroponics technology portfolio created by Indoor Harvest for use in the Cannabis or its derivatives industry. The Harvest Group will maintain use of the technology and intellectual property of Indoor Harvest for industries not involving the Cannabis plant, which use shall be exclusive to Alamo CBD and Indoor Harvest. The THG License Agreement will include mutual exit options which will permit termination of the THG License Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
· | The Indoor Harvest Corp currently intends to hold a minority interest in The Harvest Group for a minimum period of one year and, subsequently, to distribute its shares of The Harvest Group to shareholders of Indoor Harvest Corp, as a dividend in a manner consistent with relevant SEC rules. |
|
|
|
|
· | The Harvest Group will operate independently of the Indoor Harvest Corp and Alamo CBD who will have no obligation for future funding beyond the amount of the initial investment, the amount of which is subject to agreement of the parties. |
Background of the proposed transaction
The purpose of the above-described proposed transaction is twofold, as follows:
|
· | It separates the Company’s cannabis and produce related operations, as we have indicated was a goal previously. |
|
|
|
|
· | It will put in place all elements necessary for the resulting Joint Venture, of which the resulting public reporting company will have a significant on-going interest, to become a registered producer under the federal Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”) to produce cannabis. |

Until August 12, 2016, only one entity, the University of Mississippi could legally manufacture cannabis to supply researchers involved in the various studies about using cannabis to treat maladies such as PTSD or Epilepsy. On August 12, 2016, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) issued a policy statement on cannabis issues, as follows:
|
· | It is well known that the DOJ and DEA have said that cannabis would continue to be classified as a Schedule 1 drug, like heroin. |
|
|
|
|
· | It is not so well known that the DOJ and DEA also reset the policy regarding entities that could legally manufacture cannabis to supply researchers involved in various clinical studies using cannabis to treat maladies such as PTSD or Epilepsy. |
According to the policy statement, the purpose of this policy reset is to increase the number of U. S. entities registered under the CSA to grow (manufacture) cannabis to supply researchers on the effectiveness of medical grade cannabis in treating these and other maladies.
The CSA under subsection 823(a)(1) provides, DEA is obligated to register only the number of bulk manufacturers of a given schedule I or II controlled substance that is necessary to "produce an adequate and uninterrupted supply of these substances under adequately competitive conditions for legitimate medical, scientific, research, and industrial purposes.”
The policy statement (Federal Register Vol. 81) provided additional explanation on how the DEA will evaluate applications for such registration consistent with the CSA and the obligations of the United States under the applicable international drug control treaty. The Company has reviewed these guidelines and believes all applicable requirements which cannot be met by the Company alone will be met by the following:
|
· | Our current Cannabis Pilot Agreement and completed technology trials with Canopy Growth Corporation, a Canadian licensed producer under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, has demonstrated that our aeroponic biomanufacturing technology can augment and improve the quality and production of cannabis for use in cannabis research. |
|
|
|
|
· | We believe that the proposed combination with Alamo and the joint venture with Vyripharm Enterprises, LLC, in which the Company will have an equity interest due to its combination with Alamo, as described below, will meet all the additional guidelines and conditions set forth regarding the expected required experience in handling of a controlled substance and its related research with cannabis for pharmaceutical use that is one of the conditions of the policy statement. |
Contractual Joint Venture with Alamo CBD, LLC and Vyripharm Enterprises, LLC
On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Contractual Joint Venture Agreement by and between Indoor Harvest Corp, Vyripharm Enterprises, LLC (“Vyripharm”) and Alamo CBD, collectively the Parties, pursuant to which the parties agreed to participate in an unincorporated joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) for the following business purposes:
·
·
The parties will work together to enhance the ability of Alamo CBD to apply for and obtain licensure, or a permit, to grow and/or dispense marijuana products for medical and/or consumer use, as the case may be:
·
In Texas, pursuant to the Texas Compassionate Use Act, as may be amended;
·
In Colorado, pursuant to recent Colorado legislation permitting foreign ownership of entities that grow and/or dispense marijuana products for medical and/or consumer use; and
·
Pursuant to recent United States Drug Enforcement Administration regulations which expand the opportunities for entities providing research involving marijuana and its chemical constituents, as referenced in 21 U.S.C. 822(a)(1) and 21 U.S.C. 823(a), et. seq.
To establish Alamo CBD as a supplier of a variety of medical use cannabis oil to Vyripharm for Vyripharm’s use in conducting research and development to create novel pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical compounds designed to image and treat certain debilitating diseases including, but not limited to epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and other neurodegenerative diseases; and to establish Indoor Harvest as the project developer and engineering, procurement and construction group, in which Indoor Harvest is responsible for costs and efforts related to Alamo CBD's efforts to become licensed under the Texas Compassionate Use Act and to meet its obligations under this Joint Venture agreement.

During the term of the Joint Venture, the Parties have agreed to work exclusively with one another with respect to any purpose related, directly or indirectly, to the purpose of the Joint Venture.
Our Current 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.
As part of our proposed spin-off described above, the Company would license the use of the Company’s branding, products and services to The Harvest Group exclusively for all cultivars except for cannabis.

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.
As part of our proposed spin-off and combination with Alamo CBD described above, the Company would cease all DB/EPCM operations. The proposed spin-off Company, the Harvest Group, would be provided exclusive license for the use of the Company’s branding, products and services for use in DB/EPCM projects.
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 |
|
· | Turnkey 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 client’s 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.

Current Operational Activities
The Company has several pending and active projects. As part of the proposed combination with Alamo CBD and the separation of the Company’s cannabis and produce related operations, it is currently expected that the spin-off group, The Harvest Group, will assume responsibility of the Pasadena Texas CLARA Project, Design Partnership with Freight Farms and the MOA with IGES Canada Ltd. and its associated projects. The Company would continue to be responsible for the Tweed Cannabis Pilot.
Pasadena Texas CLARA Project
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 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. On December 1, 2015, the City of Pasadena, Texas, unanimously voted in favor of a Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement with Indoor Harvest for establishing CLARA, an open source, vertical farm and education campus on the City’s north side.
The agreement supporting the construction of 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. Plans called for 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 could be accomplished. In collaboration with the Houston Food Bank, Harris County Public Health, PeopleFund, the Pasadena Health Center (FQHC) and others, the CLARA project strives to produce and distribute local sources of produce in the north Pasadena community in Harris County. Additionally, the CLARA project is intended to increase consumption of these healthy foods by implementing "food prescriptions" to people in need and develop a need-based Food Scholarship Program which will provide free food at a Houston Food Bank partner agency, called a “Scholarship Pantry.”
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company completed environmental testing of the properties to be provided by the City of Pasadena and the presence of high levels of both asbestos and lead contamination was detected. The cost of abatement and remediation required to bring the properties up to safe conditions was determined to be cost prohibitive. In the first quarter of 2017, a new 1.9 acre, open land site was provided by the City of Pasadena which passed environmental inspections in March 2017. With these new developments, the company is currently negotiating with commercial partners and lenders to deploy the project as originally agreed.
On October 11, 2016, the CLARA project was announced as a winner of General Electric’s (“GE”) HealthyCities Leadership Academy, a part of GE’s healthymagination commitment to mentor and support leaders in their communities as they develop and support new strategies to tackle population health challenges. The goal of the initiative is for community and business leaders to work together to help the cities, towns and communities where they live and work to address significant health challenges. The CLARA project was one of nine projects chosen after a thorough evaluation of all eligible entries based on their ability to demonstrate a clear potential to improve the health of all socioeconomic strata of the targeted community. Selections were determined by a panel of distinguished judges who have expertise in the fields of population health, public health, and healthcare. The CLARA project will receive an initial award of $25,000 in prize money to help develop population health improvements through partnerships with public and private entities, and will be eligible for a final prize award of $250,000 after a year of collaborative learning and support.

Design Partnership with Freight Farms
On December 17, 2015, we entered 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. The companies intended to 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. As of December 31, 2016, no projects were developed under the agreement and it is not currently expected that either party will perform projects under this agreement due to changes in both parties’ business plans.
MOA with IGES Canada Ltd.
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. The project is currently active and one project in Johnstown Ontario has been signed and there currently are five additional projects pending.
Vertical Farm Project in Johnstown Ontario Canada
On July 13, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, maximum guaranteed price agreement, for a 40,000-sq. ft. vertical farm project in Johnstown Ontario Canada with IGES Canada ltd., the project included 676 Low Tide VFRack platforms, integrated LED lighting, facilities mechanical, electrical and plumbing, construction management and equipment start-up and commissioning. Total contract maximum guaranteed price is $11,374,500 with 5% of the total, $568,725 due upon the start of design work. Originally contracted to begin on September 23, 2016, the project start date has been delayed by the client for administrative reasons as they close additional funding to expand their farm deployment plans for 2017.
Tweed Cannabis Pilot
On September 28, 2015, the Company and Tweed (through its parent company, Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth”), formerly Tweed Marijuana Inc.) extended its existing Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement (“Cannabis Pilot”) signed on December 18, 2014 for an additional two years. 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 as part of the Cannabis Pilot between the two Companies.
The Cannabis Pilot will test the production of Cannabis using an aeroponics system designed by Indoor Harvest. The Cannabis Pilot 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 Cannabis Pilot will be compared to Tweed's existing production methods. At the conclusion of the Cannabis Pilot, 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 Cannabis Pilot 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. Canopy 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.
Upon completion of the Cannabis Pilot, Indoor Harvest and Canopy Growth will jointly apply for patents ("New IP") on the technology developed under the Cannabis Pilot. 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 July 6, 2016, we entered into Phase Two of our Cannabis Pilot with Canopy Growth Corporation and signed a design-build, EPCM, cost plus contract with Tweed, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth, to construct a High Pressure Aeroponic (“HPA”) production system to include facility integration and controls for the purpose of an economic pilot. The production system will include 13 HPA units and a Nutrient Dispensing System (pump skid). Additional costs for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls will be invoiced prior to hardware shipment and onsite installation under a cost-plus agreement. As of March 31, 2017, installation of the 13 HPA units had begun at Tweed’s facility with an expected completion in late April 2017. Once complete, Tweed will complete a series of final economic pilots under the terms of the Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement.

Research and Development
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. No additional work has been completed as of December 31, 2016. It is currently expected that no further work will be completed or approved until the combination with Alamo CBD is consummated.
Under our Cannabis Pilot with Canopy Growth, we conducted an initial test 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 December 10, 2015, we began a second pilot under our Cannabis Pilot with Canopy Growth and similar results were achieved.
On July 6, 2016, we entered into Phase Two of our Cannabis Pilot with Canopy Growth Corporation and signed a design-build, EPCM, cost plus contract with Tweed, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth, to construct a High Pressure Aeroponic (“HPA”) production system to include facility integration and controls for the purpose of an economic pilot. The production system will include 13 HPA units and a Nutrient Dispensing System (pump skid). Additional costs for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls will be invoiced prior to hardware shipment and onsite installation under a cost-plus agreement. As of March 31, 2017, installation of the 13 HPA units had begun at Tweed’s facility with an expected completion in late April 2017. Once complete, Tweed will complete a series of final economic pilots under the terms of the Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement.
Potential Customers
We believe, based on our own formal and informal research that our current products and services appeal to three distinct markets. Those markets include business-to-business clients, commercial growers and horticulture researchers who are currently using aeroponics or other indoor growing technologies. We intend to market our products to these markets simultaneously. Pending the consummation of the proposed combination with Alamo CBD, the Company would maintain exclusive right to market and sell all products and services related to cannabis and the spin-off group, The Harvest Group, would maintain exclusive right to market and sell all products and services related to all cultivars except cannabis. 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. 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.

We believe that cannabis has the potential to be a large market for our equipment. Our proposed combination with Alamo CBD would cause us to become a producer of cannabis. Alamo CBD, which would become a wholly owned subsidiary, is seeking to produce cannabis under the Texas Compassionate Use Program and to apply with the Drug Enforcement Agency, to become a registered producer of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act. 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 medical cannabis is legal throughout the country. We will only directly enter markets 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 currently offers 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. Pending the consummation of the proposed combination with Alamo CBD, the Company would maintain exclusive right to market and sell all products and services related to cannabis and the spin-off group, The Harvest Group, would maintain exclusive right to market and sell all products and services related to all other cultivars except cannabis. 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 to create market awareness for its products and services.
We 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 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 client’s options and burdens them with licensing and branding restrictions. We approach every client as an individual project and can 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 can operate 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 increase 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.

On April 5, 2016, we received a $27,600 equipment package order for a custom designed flood and drain and nutrient film technology platform for UB Farms in Poland. As of June 30, 2016, this project was 100% complete.
Design-Build, EPCM Agreements
On March 8, 2016, we entered a design-build, EPCM contract with OD Farms for a 7,000 sq. ft. cannabis production facility in Alaska. The contract includes an EPCM agreement for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls. On April 21, 2016, we completed initial design work and provided the client with a ROM estimate of $2,009,308 for HVAC, LED lighting, facility controls and equipment schedule. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had closed this project and recorded $35,000 in other revenue for design services and removed the project from current projects pending further instructions from the client.
On July 6, 2016, we entered into Phase Two of our Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation and signed a design-build, EPCM, cost plus contract with Tweed, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth, to construct a High Pressure Aeroponic (“HPA”) production system to include facility integration and controls for the purpose of an economic pilot. The production system will include 13 HPA units and a Nutrient Dispensing System (pump skid). Additional costs for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls will be invoiced prior to hardware shipment and onsite installation under a cost-plus agreement. The Company has received $100,796 in purchase orders as of March 31, 2017. This project is expected to be completed in late April 2017.
On July 13, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, maximum guaranteed price agreement, for a 40,000 sq. ft. vertical farm project in Johnstown Ontario with IGES Canada ltd., the project includes 676 Low Tide VFRack platforms, integrated LED lighting, facilities mechanical, electrical and plumbing, construction management and equipment start-up and commissioning. Total contract maximum guaranteed price is $11,374,500 with 5% of the total, $568,725 due upon the start of design work. Originally contracted to begin on September 23, 2016, the project start date has been delayed by the client for administrative reasons as they close additional funding to expand their farm deployment plans for 2017.
On July 27, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement, with TexAg Ventures, LLC, to provide full design and engineering, system prototyping and system testing of a custom vertical farming platform. An initial deposit of $35,000 is required to begin prototyping. Design and engineering services were to be provided free and remaining project costs will be deemed construction coordination services and billed at cost plus. As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the design work had been completed and we are awaiting further instructions from the client to begin prototyping. There is no assurance that we will begin prototyping or that the Company will receive revenue from this project.
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 outsource 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 can produce up to 800 frames per month currently in -house.

Table of Contents |
All 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 client's order. Because we use common manufacturing methods and because our products are designed with these common manufacturing methods in mind, we can 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 manufacturers can supply parts and/or complete third party manufacturing in any month, we will advise our client of a delay in the delivery time.
Pending the consummation of the proposed combination with Alamo CBD, the Company would maintain exclusive right to manufacture and sell all products and services related to cannabis and the spin-off group, The Harvest Group, would maintain exclusive right to manufacture and sell all products and services related to produce and all cultivars except cannabis.
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. 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 responded to comments on our patent application and received a second office action on February 1, 2017 and are preparing our response. 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.
It is anticipated that we will retain all rights to this IP but it will be licensed to The Harvest Group as part of the spin-off transaction.
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.

Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Texas Statutes, however, prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
|
● |
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
|
● |
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution, unless otherwise permitted under our articles of incorporation. |

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 building's 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 to produce 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 currently a party to a pending combination with Alamo CBD which will alter our current business plan as follows:
·
Indoor Harvest Corp will acquire 100% of the membership interest of Alamo CBD, LLC, the result of which will be that Alamo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Indoor Harvest. This would be a share to share exchange, under the original Alamo LOI provisions, in order to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. It is currently expected that the total number of shares to be issued to Alamo CBD, LLC will be 25,280,027 shares of common stock and that the total capital stock of Indoor Harvest Corp after Combination will be 41,953,378 shares of common stock.
·
A new Company, to be named “The Harvest Group”, will be formed by exiting Officers and Directors of Indoor Harvest Corp.
·
Indoor Harvest will execute a license agreement with The Harvest Group to permit the exclusivity to the High Pressure Aeroponics technology portfolio created by Indoor Harvest for use in the Cannabis or its derivatives industry. The Harvest Group will maintain use of the technology and intellectual property of Indoor Harvest for industries not involving the Cannabis plant, which use shall be exclusive to Alamo CBD and Indoor Harvest. The THG License Agreement will include mutual exit options which will permit termination of the THG License Agreement.
·
The Indoor Harvest Corp currently intends to hold a minority interest in The Harvest Group for a minimum period of one year and, subsequently, to distribute its shares of The Harvest Group to shareholders of Indoor Harvest Corp, as a dividend in a manner consistent with relevant SEC rules.
·
The Harvest Group will operate independently of the Indoor Harvest Corp and Alamo CBD who will have no obligation for future funding beyond the amount of the initial investment, the amount of which is subject to agreement of the parties.
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. Because 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 an $8,110 deposit towards a $16,220 equipment package for a custom designed shallow raft platform for a research project in Michigan. At September 30, 2016, this project was 100% completed.
In November 2015, we received an order for an $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.

Design-Build, EPCM Agreements
On March 8, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM contract with OD Farms for a 7,000 sq. ft. cannabis production facility in Alaska. The contract includes an EPCM agreement for HVAC, LED lighting and facility controls. On April 21, 2016, we completed initial design work and provided the client with a ROM estimate of $2,009,308 for HVAC, LED lighting, facility controls and equipment schedule. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had closed this project and recorded $35,000 in other revenue for design services and removed the project from current projects pending further instructions from the client.
On July 6, 2016, we entered into Phase Two of our Cannabis Production Pilot Agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation and signed a design-build, EPCM, cost plus contract with Tweed, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth, to construct a High Pressure Aeroponic (“HPA”) production system to include facility integration and controls for an economic pilot. The production system will include 13 HPA units and a Nutrient Dispensing System (pump skid). Additional costs for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls will be invoiced prior to hardware shipment and onsite installation under a cost-plus agreement. The Company has received $100,796 in purchase orders under this agreement as of December 31, 2016. This project is expected to be completed in late April 2017.
On July 13, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, maximum guaranteed price agreement, for a 40,000 sq. ft. vertical farm project in Johnstown Ontario with IGES Canada ltd., the project includes 676 Low Tide VFRack platforms, integrated LED lighting, facilities mechanical, electrical and plumbing, construction management and equipment start-up and commissioning. Total contract maximum guaranteed price is $11,374,500 with 5% of the total, $568,725 due upon the start of design work. Originally contracted to begin on September 23, 2016, the project start date has been delayed by the client for administrative reasons as they close additional funding to expand their farm deployment plans for 2017.
On July 27, 2016, we entered into a design-build, EPCM, cost plus agreement, with TexAg Ventures, LLC, to provide full design and engineering, system prototyping and system testing of a custom vertical farming platform. An initial deposit of $35,000 is required to begin prototyping. Design and engineering services were to be provided free and remaining project costs will be deemed construction coordination services and billed at cost plus. As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the design work had been completed and we are awaiting further instructions from the client to begin prototyping. There is no assurance that we will begin prototyping or that the Company will receive revenue from this project.
Our current projects involve both Equipment Sales and Design-Build/Engineering, Procurement and Construction Projects, with the status of each as of December 31, 2016 as set forth below.

A Rough Order of Magnitude Estimate (ROM estimate) is an estimation of a project's level of effort and cost to complete. A ROM estimate takes place very early in a project's life cycle, during the project selection and approval period and prior to project initiation in most cases, when a project's scope and requirements has not been fully defined. The main purpose of the ROM estimate is to provide decision-makers with the information necessary to decide on whether it makes sense to move forward with the project based on the estimated level of effort, in terms of completion time and cost. A ROM estimate is used to reduce the uncertainty of cost outcomes for both the client and the contractor. There is no assurance that the Company will receive as revenues any or all the total amount of a ROM estimate. |

Current EPCM Sales Pipeline
Our current sales pipeline consists of 6 facility build discussions with 4 in early to mid-stage discussions and 2 in late stage negotiations. The Company removed 3 projects as of December 31, 2016 due to lack of activity by the client or incomplete financing for the project. The company is pursuing final agreements applicable for the stage of development the client is in. There is no guarantee of success regarding these agreements or that applicable project revenue will be fully recognized until the agreements and final budget negotiations are complete.

Results of Operations
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 we generated revenue of $163,996 with cost of sales of $111,581 resulting in gross income of $52,415 and gross margin of 32%. 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 and gross margin of 28%. This represents an 84% increase in revenue year over year and an increase of 4% in gross margin year over year.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we incurred $1,305,472 and $1,279,597, respectively, in operating expenses. This represents a 2% increase year over year. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $16,184 and $20,518, respectively, representing a 21% decline year over year. 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, 2016, we had total liabilities of $450,908, while at December 31, 2015, we had total liabilities of $110,147, representing a 309% increase year over year. 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, 2016 was $8,513. 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, 2016, we had $122,755 in total current assets. We had current liabilities of $423,776 as of December 31, 2016. Accordingly, we had a working capital deficit of $301,021 as of December 31, 2016.
Operating activities used $662,170 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared with $704,230 used for the year ended December 31, 2015, representing a 21% decline year over year. Our reduction in cash sued in operating activities was due to increased revenue generated year over year. Our negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2016, 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, 2016 used $2,294 in cash, as compared with using $60,795 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 generated $641,777 in cash, as compared with $312,699 for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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 Potential Future Operations for the next 12 months, as set forth before, are estimated to be approximately $434,112 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 $58,512 per year, our estimated annual utility expenses of $10,800 and $12,800 in miscellaneous operating expenses. In addition, we will have $125,000 in costs related to maintaining our publicly traded status over the next 12 months.
Cash Requirements: Potential Future Planned Operational Activities
On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Contractual Joint Venture Agreement by and between Indoor Harvest Corp, Vyripharm Enterprises, and Alamo CBD, collectively the parties, pursuant to which the parties agreed to participate in an unincorporated joint venture for the following business purposes:
·
The parties will work together to enhance the ability of Alamo CBD to apply for and obtain licensure, or a permit, to grow and/or dispense marijuana products for medical and/or consumer use, as the case may be:
·
In Texas, pursuant to the Texas Compassionate Use Act, as may be amended;
·
In Colorado, pursuant to recent Colorado legislation permitting foreign ownership of entities that grow and/or dispense marijuana products for medical and/or consumer use; and
·
Pursuant to recent United States Drug Enforcement Administration regulations which expand the opportunities for entities providing research involving marijuana and its chemical constituents, as referenced in 21 U.S.C. 822(a)(1) and 21 U.S.C. 823(a), et. seq.
·
To establish Alamo CBD as a supplier of a variety of medical use cannabis oil to Vyripharm for Vyripharm’s use in conducting research and development to create novel pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical compounds designed to image and treat certain debilitating diseases including, but not limited to epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and other neurodegenerative diseases; and to establish Indoor Harvest as the project developer and engineering, procurement and construction group, in which Indoor Harvest is responsible for costs and efforts related to Alamo CBD's efforts to become licensed under the Texas Compassionate Use Act and to meet its obligations under this Joint Venture agreement.
The initial term of the Joint Venture shall be five (5) years following the Effective Date, and the Agreement may be extended beyond the Initial Term by mutual consent of the Parties. A total of $5,000,000 will be paid to Vyripharm over the five year period at $1,000,000 annually. The Company has paid an initial $250,000 under the Joint Venture and will be required to make an additional payment of $250,000 by June 30, 2017 and $500,000 by December 31, 2017.
There is no assurance that the Company will have sufficient working capital to maintain payments under the Joint Venture. If a payment is not made, the Company may lose some or all of its rights under the Joint Venture.
Existing Cash and Operational Cash Flow
As of April 5, 2017, we had $139,894 in cash and $3,316 in available credit facilities. We are actively engaged in a number of current projects which are generating cash flow. In addition to the key projects already discussed, our current sales pipeline consists of 6 facility build discussions. However, we have no final agreements concerning these potential future projects and we may not ever secure final agreements.

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. If we don't obtain additional 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. As of March 22, 2017, the Company had laid-off two employees and had begun cost cutting measures in anticipation of our potential combination with Alamo CBD, LLC.
The ability to fund our 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, both current and potential future operations as described above. 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 2017. 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.

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, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) 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, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 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.

INDOOR HARVEST CORPORATION
NOTES TO 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 estimate of percentage of complete on construction contracts in progress at each reporting period which we rely on as a primary basis of revenue recognition, 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 Work in Progress
Work in process consists of costs recorded and revenue earned on projects recognized on the percentage of completion method for work performed on contracts in progress at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The company records revenue based on contractual agreements entered into at the inception of construction contracts. Amounts are payable from customers based on milestones established in each contract. Amounts are billed at milestone completion and are reflected as accounts receivable when billed. Costs and estimated earnings are accumulated on projects in process and compared to amounts billed based on the percentage of completion method of accounting (cost to cost). Costs incurred in excess of amounts billed and related profit recognized are reflected as an asset in the balance sheet as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Unearning billings are reflected in the balance sheet as a liability as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on projects in process (See Note 6).
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 $2,360 and $7,001 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

INDOOR HARVEST CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
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.
The Company has the following common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
· |
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
|
|
|
· |
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |
|
|
|
· |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use. |
No assets, liabilities or equity instruments were presented at fair value as of December 31, 2015, and as of December 31, 2016, the only liabilities presented at fair value were notes payable of $209,786 and convertible notes payable of $122,383 which have been discounted for embedded derivatives using the binomial lattice model and as such are treated as level II in the hierarchy of fair value measures.
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 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 |
Estimate Useful Life (Years) | |
Furniture & Equipment |
3-5 | |
Tooling Equipment |
10 | |
Leasehold Improvements |
* |
* 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, 2016 and 2015.
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 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were:

Reclassifications
Certain expense items have been reclassified in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, to conform to the reporting format adopted for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The following pronouncements will significantly impact future reporting of financial positon and results of operations. Management is currently assessing implementation.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, clarifying the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.
For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods.
The FASB has issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:
·
A lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and
·
A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
·
Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
·
The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing.
Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity).The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees.
Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows.
For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606.
42 |
Table of Contents |
INDOOR HARVEST CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. Public entities should apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application for public entities is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The effective date for nonpublic entities is deferred by one year.
Derivative Liability
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,075,000, net cash used in operations of $662,170 and has an accumulated deficit of $3,996,772, for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
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, 2016. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, 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, 2016.
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, 2016 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, 2016, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2016 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, 2016, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
None.

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.

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.
