TERRA TECH CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
References in this document to "the Company", "Terra Tech", "we", "us", or "our" are intended to mean Terra Tech Corp., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We were incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2008, under the name Private Secretary, Inc. The Company's original business was developing a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through voice-over-Internet protocol, or "VoIP", technology. Our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. We generated no revenue.
We changed our name to Terra Tech Corp. on January 27, 2012. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GrowOp Technology Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("GrowOp Technology"), we engage in the design, marketing, and sale of hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture. We are also a wholesale seller of locally grown hydroponic produce through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Edible Garden"). Through MediFarm, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm"), MediFarm I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm I"), and MediFarm II, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm II"), subsidiaries in which we own interests, we plan to operate medical marijuana cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Nevada. Most recently, we formed another wholly-owned subsidiary, IVXX, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("IVXX"), for the purpose of producing and selling a line of cannabis flowers and cigarettes, as well as a line of cannabis pure concentrates.
On February 9, 2012, we completed a reverse-triangular merger with GrowOp Technology, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowOp Technology and in exchange we issued: (i) 33,998,520 shares of our common stock, (ii) 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, and (iii) 14,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with each share convertible into 5.38425537 shares of common stock. The issuance represented approximately 50.3% of our total shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, immediately following the closing of the merger. As a result of the merger, GrowOp Technology became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the merger, Terra Tech ceased its prior operations and is now solely a holding company.
We acquired our second wholly-owned subsidiary, Edible Garden, in 2013. Edible Garden is a wholesale seller of locally grown hydroponic produce, which is distributed throughout the Midwest and the Northeast United States. We entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), by and among the Company, Edible Garden,and the stockholders of Edible Garden. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, one of our stockholders and a director (and, at that time, an officer) of ours, offered and sold 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken Vande Vrede, Mike Vande Vrede, Steve Vande Vrede, Dan Vande Vrede, Beverly Willekes, and David Vande Vrede (collectively, the "Former EG Principal Stockholders"). The 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible at any time into 36,344,198 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 765,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock and the sale of the 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock by Ms. Almsteier was that the Former EG Principal Stockholders held approximately 25.7% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 43.3% of our voting power of as of March 23, 2013. Articles of Exchange, consummating the share exchange, were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013.
On March 19, 2014, we formed MediFarm, a subsidiary. On July 18, 2014, we formed MediFarm I, a subsidiary. On July 30, 2014, we formed MediFarm II, a subsidiary. Through MediFarm, MediFarm I and MediFarm II, we plan to operate medical marijuana cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities establishments in Nevada.
On September 16, 2014, we formed IVXX for the purpose of producing a line of cannabis flowers and cigarettes, as well as a complete line of cannabis pure concentrates including: oils, waxes, shatters and clears. We began producing and selling IVXX's products during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.We currently offer these products to 25 select dispensaries in California. We are using our supercritical CO2 extraction lab located in Oakland, California to manufacture these products. IVXX also expects to sell clothing, apparel, and other various branded products.

These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase, including money market mutual funds, short-term time deposits, and government agency and corporate obligations, are classified as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
We review all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. We do not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. There was an allowance of $150,000 at June 30, 2015 and $49,168 at December 31, 2014.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-15 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.
Intangibles
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized, but are tested for impairment quarterly and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. We test intangibles for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for intangibles is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of intangible impairment. We test these intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to current projections of discounted cash flows attributable to the customer list. Any excess carrying value over the amount of discounted cash flows represents the amount of the impairment.
Deposits
Deposits are for a store and land in Nevada.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, we have no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold are for the plants grown and purchased and sold into the retail marketplace by Edible Garden. It also includes the cost incurred in producing the oils, waxes, shatters and clears sold by IVXX.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We have incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related Federal and state deferred tax asset for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015; therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding were the same.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We apply fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

TERRA TECH CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
2. GOING CONCERN
Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow positive.
However, we have incurred net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $41.6 million at June 30, 2015. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
We maintain cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations.
We provide credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

4. SHARE EXCHANGE
On March 23, 2013, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which Edible Garden's stockholders exchanged common stock of Edible Garden for common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $212,500, in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. We also acquired Edible Garden's customer list.
The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, intangible assets are recorded at fair values as of the date of the transaction. We preliminarily allocated the $212,500 consideration paid for the acquired assets as follows:

|
| 100 |
|
Intangible assets, customer list |
|
| 212,400 |
|

| $ | 212,500 |

Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over a five-year period. Amortization expense was $21,240 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
5. REVERSE MERGER
On February 9, 2012, we completed a reverse merger transaction through a merger with GrowOp Technology, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowOp Technology and in exchange we issued: (i) 33,998,520 shares of our common stock, (ii) 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, and (iii) 14,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with each share convertible into 5.38425537 shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse merger, GrowOp Technology became our wholly-owned subsidiary and, at the time the transaction was closed, the former stockholders of GrowOp Technology became our controlling stockholders. The share exchange transaction with GrowOp Technology was treated as a reverse acquisition, with GrowOp Technology as the accounting acquiror and the Company as the accounting acquiree.
Purchase Accounting
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition. In a reverse acquisition, the post-acquisition net assets of the surviving combined company include the historical cost basis of the net assets of the accounting acquirer, GrowOp Technologies, plus the fair value of the net assets of the accounting acquiree, Terra Tech. Further, under the purchase method, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets is allocated to any intangible assets with the remaining excess purchase price over net assets acquired allocated to goodwill.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REVERSE MERGER, Continued
The fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisition was $4,800,000 and was calculated as the number of shares of common stock that GrowOp Technologies would have had to issue in order for Terra Tech stockholders to hold a 58.6% equity interest in the combined company post-acquisition, multiplied by the estimated fair value of our common stock on the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of our common stock was based on the offering price of the common stock sold in a private placement of share subscriptions which was completed most recently prior to the merger. This price was determined to be the best indication of fair value on that date since the price was based on an arm's length negotiation with a group consisting of both new and existing investors that had been advised of the pending acquisition and assumed similar liquidity risk as those investors holding the majority of shares being valued as purchase consideration.
The following table summarizes our determination of fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities as of the date of acquisition.

6. INVENTORY
Inventory consists of raw materials for Edible Garden's herb product lines and IVXX's line of cannabis pure concentrates. Work-In-Progress consists of live plants grown for Edible Garden's herb product line. Cost of goods sold is calculated using the average costing method. We review our inventory periodically to determine net realizable value. We write down inventory, if required, based on forecasted demand. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, new products introductions, and require estimates that may include uncertain elements.

The senior secured promissory notes are secured by shares of common stock. There was accrued interest of $253,815 as of June 30, 2015.
On February 27, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain purchasers (the "Purchasers") relating to the issuance and sale (the "Offering") of (i) 12% Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), that are convertible into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire shares (the "Warrant Shares") of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The purchase of the Notes is expected to occur in six (6) tranches (each, a "Tranche", and, collectively, the "Tranches"), with the first Tranche of $750,000 closing simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. Each additional Tranche is expected to be in the amount of $450,000 and, as long as we are not in default of the Notes, each Tranche is expected to close on every 30th day following the previous closing date; however, the closing of the third through sixth Tranches is subject to the mutual agreement of the parties. The second tranche of $450,000 closed on April 6, 2015. The third tranche of $450,000 closed on May 12, 2015.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. The Purchasers were granted customary participation rights in future financings. The Purchase Agreement also limits our ability to engage in subsequent equity sales for a certain period of time.

Permanent differences include ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed by us as a non-allowable deduction under Internal Revenue Code Section 280E, and tax deductions related to equity compensation that are less than the compensation recognized for financial reporting.
As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,285,000 and $8,900,000, respectively, which, if unused, will expire beginning in 2034. These tax attributes are subject to an annual limitation from equity shifts, which constitute a change of ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative losses incurred through the period ended June 30, 2015. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, as of June 30, 2015, a valuation allowance of approximately $7,881,000 has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as these assets are more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

15. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. We review any such legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, we determined that there were no matters that required an accrual as of June 30, 2015, nor were there any asserted or unasserted claims for which material losses are reasonably possible.
16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operating and reportable segments are currently organized around the following products that we offer as part of our core business strategy:
· | Hydroponic Produce |
· | Cannabis Products |
These two reportable segments, described in greater detail below, had previously been reported on a combined basis as they had been operated and evaluated as one operating segment. We experienced significant growth over the last year in most of our product areas. As we have grown organically, and as we have added to our capabilities through acquisitions, our products have increased in scale and become more strategically important and distinctly organized and managed under these two groupings. In addition, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") has begun reviewing results and managing and allocating resources among these two strategic business groupings, and we have begun budgeting using these business segments. Our segment information for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2014 have been reclassified to conform to our current presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
16. SEGMENT INFORMATION, Continued
Our CODM reviews revenues including intersegment revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss) before income taxes when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to each segment. Accordingly, intersegment revenue is included in the segment revenues presented in the tables below and is eliminated from revenues and cost of sales in the "Eliminations and Other" column. The "Eliminations and Other" column also includes various income and expense items that we do not allocate to our operating segments. These income and expense amounts include the results of our hydroponic equipment, which are not material, interest income, interest expense, corporate overhead, and corporate-wide expense items such as legal and professional fees as well as expense items for which we have not identified a reasonable basis for allocation. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Hydroponic Produce - Our locally grown hydroponic produce is started from seed and is grown in environmentally controlled greenhouses. When harvested, the products are sold through retailers targeted to customers seeking fresh produce locally grown using environmentally sustainable methods.
Cannabis Products - IVXX's cannabis products are currently produced in our supercritical Co2 lab in California and are sold in select dispensaries throughout California. We plan to operate medical marijuana cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Nevada through our subsidiaries, MediFarm, MediFarm I, and MediFarm II. We were granted eight provisional permits in Nevada and have received approval from the local authorities with respect to six of the eight permits.
Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the following tables. Total asset amounts at June 30, 2015 and 2014 exclude intercompany receivable balances eliminated in consolidation.

Company Overview
We were incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2008 under the name Private Secretary, Inc. We changed our name to Terra Tech Corp. on January 27, 2012. Our corporate headquarters is located at 4700 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 110, Newport Beach, California 92660 and our telephone number is (855) 447-6967. Our website addresses are as follows: www.terratechcorp.com, www.growopltd.com, www.ediblegarden.com, www.egrow.com, www.goodearthhydro.com, www.bestbuyhydro.com, and www.ivxx.com.
Our original business was to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through "VoIP" technology. Our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. We generated no revenue.
On February 9, 2012, we completed a reverse-triangular merger with GrowOp Technology Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("GrowOp Technology"), whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowOp Technology and in exchange we issued: (i) 33,998,520 shares of our common stock, (ii) 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, and (iii) 14,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with each share convertible into 5.38425537 shares of common stock. The issuance represented approximately 50.3% of our total shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, immediately following the closing of the merger. As a result of the merger, GrowOp Technology became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the merger, we ceased our prior operations and are now solely a holding company with two wholly-owned subsidiaries. We also own interests in three other subsidiaries. Through GrowOp Technology, we engage in the design, marketing, and sale of hydroponic equipment with propriety technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture.
We entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), by and among the Company, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Edible Garden"), and the stockholders of Edible Garden. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, one of our stockholders and a director (and, at that time, an officer) of ours, offered and sold 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken Vande Vrede, Mike Vande Vrede, Steve Vande Vrede, Dan Vande Vrede, Beverly Willekes, and David Vande Vrede (the "Former EG Principal Stockholders"). The 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible at any time into 36,344,198 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 765,000,000 shares of common stock.
25 |
The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the company and the sale of the 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock by Ms. Almsteier was that as of the date of the issuance and sale, the Former EG Principal Stockholders held approximately 25.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and approximately 43.3% of the voting power of the Company. Articles of Exchange, consummating the share exchange, were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013. Through Edible Garden, we are the retail seller of locally grown hydroponic produce.
We formed MediFarm, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm") on March 19, 2014. We own 60% of the membership interests in MediFarm. The remaining membership interests are owned by Camden Goorjian (20%) and by Richard Vonfeldt (20%), two otherwise unaffiliated individuals. Upon receipt of the necessary governmental approvals and permitting, as to which there can be no assurance, we expect MediFarm to operate medical marijuana cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Clark County, Nevada and a medical marijuana dispensary facility in the City of Las Vegas.
We formed MediFarm I , LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm I") on July 18, 2014. We own 50% of the membership interests in MediFarm I. The remaining membership interests are owned by Forever Green NV, LLC (50%), an otherwise unaffiliated entity. Upon receipt of the necessary governmental approvals and permitting, as to which there can be no assurance, we expect MediFarm I to operate a medical marijuana dispensary in Reno, Nevada.
We formed MediFarm II LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MediFarm II") on July 30, 2014. We own 55% of the membership interests in MediFarm II. The remaining membership interests are owned by Nevada MF, LLC (30%) and by Forever Green NV, LLC (15%), two otherwise unaffiliated parties. Upon receipt of the necessary governmental approval and permitting, as to which there can be no assurance, we expect MediFarm II to operate a medical marijuana cultivation and production facility in Spanish Springs, Nevada.
On September 16, 2014, we formed IVXX, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("IVXX") for the purpose of producing a line of cannabis flowers and cigarettes, as well as a complete line of cannabis pure concentrates, including: oils, waxes, shatters, and clears. We currently offer these products to five select dispensaries in California. IVXX also sells clothing, apparel, and other various branded products.
Our business segments consist of hydroponic produce and cannabis products. Our hydroponic produce is locally grown hydroponic produce that is started from seed and is grown in environmentally controlled greenhouses. When harvested, the products are sold through retailers targeted to customers seeking fresh produce locally grown using environmentally sustainable methods. This segment consists of Edible Garden's business and operations. Our cannabis products segment consists of IVXX's business, as well as the proposed business operations of MediFarm, MediFarm I, and MediFarm II. IVXX's cannabis products are currently produced in our supercritical Co2 lab in California and are sold in select dispensaries throughout California. We plan to operate medical marijuana cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Nevada through our subsidiaries, MediFarm, MediFarm I, and MediFarm II. We were granted eight provisional permits in Nevada and have received approval from the local authorities with respect to six of the eight permits. See Note 16, Segment Information, in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information on our net sales, cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, other income (expense), loss from operations, and identifiable assets by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014.
Results of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014:
Revenues. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we generated revenues of $5,024,290, compared to $3,711,801 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,312,489. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated by Edible Garden for the sales of its herbs and floral products and IVXX from the sale of its cannabis products. At this stage in the Company's development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.
Gross Margin. Our gross profits for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $262,614, compared to a negative gross margin of $99,637 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $362,251. Our gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 5.23%, compared to negative 2.68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better margins from Edible Garden as a result of the completed greenhouse facility with high-tech Dutch bucket hydroponic equipment and the sales generated from IVXX from the sale of its cannabis products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $3,361,846, compared to $3,892,077 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $530,231. The decrease was primarily due to: (i) a $50,514 increase in depreciation for additional farm equipment used by Edible Garden; (ii) a $189,717 increase in advertising for the promotion of the IVXX brand; (iii) a $61,906 increase in allowance for doubtful accounts; (iv) a $559,655 increase in compensation expense due to an increase in the number of employees; (v) a $28,178 increase in rent for the additional properties leased in connection with MediFarm's, MediFarm I's, and MediFarm II's proposed cannabis business in Nevada. These increases were offset by a $75,250 decrease in director fees (an accumulated $139,000 in directors fees was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2014) and a $49,609 decrease in travel costs ($113,261 were incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 in connection with the Nevada permit application fee). Additionally, business permit fees were reduced by $19,950 and utilities were reduced by $59,432 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 in comparison with the equivalent quarter of fiscal 2014. Further, there was a $586,106 decrease in legal and accounting expenses between the periods, primarily related to the preparation and filing of registration statements and reviewing of contracts performed in the prior year. Lastly, warrant expense decreased over the prior year's period by $582,761 primarily due to less warrants issued in the current period.
26 |
Operating Income (Loss). We realized an operating loss of $3,099,232 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $3,991,714 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Other Income (Expense). Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $307,570, compared to an expense of $563,363 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we had an increase in amortization of debt discount in the amount of $224,729 versus $0 in the prior year's period. We had a loss on the issuance of derivatives in the amount of $337,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1,3460,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $1,009,000, due to fewer convertible notes being issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2015. We had a gain on the fair market valuation of the derivatives in the amount of $999,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to a gain of $1,017,000 from the prior year. Interest expense totaled $129,701 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $234,363 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is due to less debt outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Net Income (Loss). We incurred a net loss of $2,756,576, or $0.01 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $4,555,077, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The primary reasons for the improvement in net loss is an increase in revenue, a decrease in cost of goods sold (as a percentage of revenue), an absolute decrease in sales, general and administrative expenses and a reduction in the issuance of convertible debt and warrants during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year's quarter.
Management will continue its efforts to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. We will continue to invest in further expanding our operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting our name and our products. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have a quasi-fixed character, management expects that, as revenue increases, those expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will significantly decrease. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues in succeeding quarters.
Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014:
Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated revenues of $5,787,643, compared to $4,272,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,515,523. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated by Edible Garden Corp for the sales of its herbs and floral products and IVXX from the sale of its cannabis products. At this stage in the Company's development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.
Gross Margin. Our gross profits for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $491,329, compared to a negative gross margin of $97,547 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $588,876. Our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 8.49%, compared to negative 2.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better margins from Edible Garden as a result of the completed greenhouse facility with high-tech Dutch bucket hydroponic equipment and the sales generated from IVXX from the sale of its cannabis products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $5,693,131, compared to $6,095,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $402,751. The decrease was primarily due to: (i) a $116,965 increase in depreciation for additional farm equipment used by Edible Garden; (ii) a $215,900 increase in advertising for the promotion of the IVXX brand; (iii) a $111,297 increase in allowance for doubtful accounts; (iv) a $33,756 expense for Directors and Officers liability insurance; (v) a $1,074,036 increase in compensation expense due to an increase in the number of employees; (vi) a $173,618 increase in consulting fees related to the cannabis business; (vii) a $46,937 increase in filing fees related to the proposed construction of MediFarm's, MediFarm I's, and MediFarm's II facilities; and (viii) a $144,781 increase in rent for the additional properties leased in connection with MediFarm's, MediFarm I's, and MediFarm II's proposed cannabis business in Nevada. These increases were offset by a $260,250 decrease in director fees (an accumulated $324,000 in directors fees was recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2014) and a $53,844 decrease in travel costs ($156,579 were incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2014 in connection with the Nevada permit application fee). Additionally, there was a $200,948 decrease in legal and accounting expenses primarily related to the preparation and filing of registration statements and reviewing of contracts performed in the prior year. Warrant expense decreased over the prior year by $1,831,884 primarily due to less warrants issued in the current period.
Operating Income (Loss). We realized an operating loss of $5,201,802 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $6,193,429 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Other Income (Expense). Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $262,115, compared to an expense of $3,278,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had an increase in amortization of debt discount in the amount of $265,855 versus $0 in the prior year period. We had a loss on the issuance of derivatives in the amount of $561,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $2,560,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $1,999,000, due to fewer convertible notes being issued during the first six months of fiscal 2015. We had a gain on the fair market valuation of the derivatives in the amount of $1,407,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $267,825 in the prior's year period. Interest expense totaled $318,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $450,313 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is due to less debt outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
27 |
Net Income (Loss). We incurred a net loss of $4,833,080, or $0.02 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $9,471,567, or $0.06 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The primary reasons for the improvement in net loss is an increase in revenue, a decrease in cost of goods sold (as a percentage of revenue), an absolute decrease in sales, general and administrative expenses, and a reduction in the issuance of convertible debt and warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2014.
Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. We will continue to invest in further expanding our operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting our name and our products. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have a quasi-fixed character management expects that, as revenue increases, those expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will significantly decrease. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues in succeeding periods.
Disclosure About Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have never reported net income. We incurred net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and have an accumulated deficit of $41,559,619 at June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $2,023,486. At June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of approximately $2,129,817, compared to a cash balance of $846,650 at December 31, 2014. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of preferred stock, common stock, and debt securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.
We anticipate requiring additional capital for the commercial development of our subsidiaries. Assuming MediFarm, MediFarm I, and MediFarm II receive all the necessary permits and licenses applied for, we anticipate we will need an additional $11 million in capital for the commercial development of these subsidiaries. Because none of MediFarm, MediFarm I, or MediFarm II has commenced operations, the $11 million budget as described herein is prospective. With respect to MediFarm, the estimated construction budget (for year one) and operation budget (for the first five years of operation) is approximately $500,000 for the dispensary facilities and approximately $5 million for the cultivation and production facility. With respect to MediFarm I's dispensary facility, the estimated construction budget (for year one) and operation budget (for the first five years of operation) is approximately $500,000. With respect to MediFarm II's cultivation and production facility, the estimated construction budget (for year one) and operation budget (for the first five years of operation) is approximately $5 million. Forever Green NV, LLC, a member of both MediFarm I and MediFarm II, has agreed to contribute approximately $500,000 in the form of debt to MediFarm I and approximately $750,000 in the form of debt to MediFarm II. We will be obligated to contribute the remaining amount, or approximately $9.75 million in the aggregate, for all three subsidiaries. This amount is in addition to any proceeds we may receive if and when we sell additional securities.
28 |
With respect to GrowOp Technology, we anticipate needing approximately $110,000 for the commercial development of this subsidiary, which includes anticipated expenses for purchasing, marketing, and selling of a new line of double ended lighting. This amount is in addition to any proceeds we may receive if and when we sell additional securities.
With respect to IVXX, we anticipate requiring $400,000 for working capital, inventories, salaries for sales personnel, and software. We anticipate allocating a portion of any proceeds we may receive if and when we sell additional securities.
We intend to raise additional capital through equity and debt financing as needed, although there cannot be any assurance that such funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.
We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the second quarter of 2016. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.
The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included a note to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and achieving a profitable level of operations. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Promissory Notes
Fiscal 2015
On February 27, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers relating to the issuance and sale of (i) 12% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), that are convertible into shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants to acquire shares of our common stock. The purchase of the notes is expected to occur in six (6) tranches, with the first tranche of $750,000 closing simultaneously with the execution of the agreement. The second tranche of $450,000 closed on April 6, 2015 and the third tranche of $450,000 closed on May 12, 2015. We agreed to reimburse the purchasers $15,000 for legal fees incurred in connection with the offering that was paid at the closing of the first tranche. Aegis Capital Corp. ("Aegis"), the placement agent, was paid approximately $68,000 at the closing of the first, second and third tranches and will be paid additional compensation at each subsequent closing.
Each note accrues interest at 12% per annum, of which twelve months interest is guaranteed, payable on each conversion date for the principal amount being converted and on the maturity date in either cash or, at the holder's option, in shares of common stock. All principal and interest due and owing under each note is convertible into shares of our common stock, at any time at the election of the holder, at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest VWAP in the prior 20-trading days immediately before the conversion date. We also agreed to issue to the purchasers a series of warrants to purchase up to that number of shares of common stock equal to 25% of the principal amount of the note issuable to the purchasers at the applicable closing divided by the conversion price of the note.
Fiscal 2014
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued secured promissory notes, which supplied the funds that we needed to finance our operations during the reporting period. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by us of $7,344,737. The proceeds received by us include the sale of an aggregate of $6,550,000, net of a five percent original issue discount ("OID"), of promissory notes to Dominion Capital, LLC ("Dominion"). The OID, aggregated, is approximately $344,737. All principal and interest due and owing under each such note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to approximately $0.30753 per share, subject to adjustment. Each such note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity date of 18 months after issuance. The notes were sold to Dominion at various times from February 2014 through July 2014. In connection with the issuance of the notes to Dominion, we also issued to Dominion warrants to purchase up to that number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the principal amount of the notes issuable divided by the conversion price. As of February 5, 2014, the date we entered into the purchase agreement with Dominion, the warrants were exercisable for a total of 11,491,228 shares of common stock.

In addition, related parties contributed $102,500 in fiscal year 2011 in exchange for unsecured non-convertible note payables. We repaid these notes in March of 2014, and therefore have no further obligations.
We have advanced Palm Creek approximately $36,788. Palm Creek is repaying this on a monthly basis. This advance will be repaid by Palm Creek by offsetting each shipment of herbs, which we anticipate will equal between $20,000 and $24,000 per month.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,146,449, compared to $3,561,380 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
