This Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The statements regarding urban-gro, Inc. contained in this Report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes” or “plans,” or comparable terminology, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences are identified in this Report, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any future disclosures we make on related subjects in future reports to the SEC.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

Organization

 

urban-gro, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “urban-gro”) is a leading architectural, engineering and design services company focused on the sustainable commercial indoor horticulture market. We engineer and design indoor controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”) facilities and then integrate complex environmental equipment systems into those facilities. Through this work, we create high-performance indoor cultivation facilities for our clients to grow specialty crops, including leafy greens, vegetables, herbs, and plant-based medicines. Our custom-tailored approach to design, procurement, and equipment integration provides a single point of accountability across all aspects of indoor growing operations. We also help our clients achieve operational efficiency and economic advantages through a full spectrum of professional services and programs focused on facility optimization and environmental health which establish facilities that allow clients to manage, operate and perform at the highest level throughout their entire cultivation lifecycle once they are up and running.

 

We aim to work with our clients from inception of their project in a way that provides value throughout the life of their facility. We are a trusted partner and advisor to our clients and offer a complete set of engineering and managed services complemented by a vetted suite of select cultivation equipment systems.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). On December 31, 2020, we effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split with respect to our common stock. All share and per share information in these consolidated financial statements gives effect to this reverse stock split, including restating prior period reported amounts.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for condensed financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ deficit and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, inventory write offs, allowance for deferred tax assets, and allowance for bad debt.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. The FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Cloud 9 Support, LLC (“Cloud 9”), a company owned by James Lowe, a director and shareholder, purchases materials from the Company. Total sales to Cloud 9 from the Company were $93,205 and $247,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $79,199 and $114,285 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Outstanding receivables from Cloud 9 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled $5,626 and $61,678, respectively.

 

In October 2018, we issued a $1,000,000 unsecured note payable to Cloud 9, an entity owned by James Lowe, a director of the Company, which originally became due April 30, 2019 (the “James Lowe Note”). The James Lowe Note was personally guaranteed by Bradley Nattrass, our Chief Executive Officer, and Octavio Gutierrez. The loan had a one-time origination fee of $12,500. Interest accrued at the rate of 12% per annum and was paid monthly. As additional consideration for the James Lowe Note, we granted Mr. Lowe (as designee of Cloud9 Support) an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.20 per share, which option is exercisable for a period of five years. The due date for the James Lowe Note was extended in May 2019 to December 31, 2019 and the interest rate was decreased to 9% per year. In consideration for Cloud9 Support extending the maturity date of the note and reducing the interest rate, we issued 1,667 shares of our common stock to Mr. Lowe (as designee of Cloud9 Support).

 

On February 21, 2020, we entered into an agreement to amend the James Lowe Note to extend the maturity date therein from December 31, 2019 to the date which is the earlier of 60 days following the date: (a) on which demand for repayment is made by the lenders under the Credit Agreement, as described in Note 9, (which is now only applicable in the case of an event of default under the Credit Agreement because of the removal of the demand feature pursuant to the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement); or (b) which is the maturity date under the Credit Agreement.

 

In addition, on February 25, 2020, the Company entered into a subordination, postponement and standstill agreement with Cloud9 Support (the “Subordination Agreement”) pursuant to which Cloud 9 Support agreed to postpone and subordinate all payments due under the promissory note until the facilities under the Credit Agreement have been fully and finally repaid. The term for the Subordination Agreement will continue in force as long as the Company is indebted to the agent or lenders under the Credit Agreement. In consideration for Cloud9 Support’s agreement to extend the maturity date of the promissory note and to enter into the Subordination Agreement, we issued 16,667 shares of common stock to Mr. Lowe (as designee of Cloud 9 Support).

 

On December 15, 2020, James Lowe agreed to convert the $1,000,000 James Lowe Note plus $4,500 of accrued interest (the “New James Lowe Note”) into a convertible note bridge financing (see “Bridge Financing” in Note 8 – Notes Payable). The New James Lowe Note carries interest at the rate of 12% and matures on December 31, 2021. The New James Lowe Note plus accrued interest was mandatorily converted into 137,940 shares of our common stock on February 17, 2021 in connection with the other Bridge Financing notes.

Total   -    5,271,463 
Less current debt due within one year   -    (5,271,463)
Total long-term debt  $-   $- 

 

On February 21, 2020, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, urban-gro Canada Technologies Inc. and Impact., as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bridging Finance Inc., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement, which was denominated in Canadian dollars (C$), was comprised of (i) a 12-month senior secured demand term loan facility in the amount of C$2.7 million ($2.0 million), which was funded in its entirety on the closing date (the “Term Loan”); and (ii) a 12-month demand revolving credit facility of up to C$5.4 million ($4.0 million), which could be drawn from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and described further below (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Loan, the “Facilities”). The Credit Agreement was personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and Chairman, Brad Nattrass, and was to be in place for the original term of the Credit Agreement (1 year) plus a 1-year extension period at the discretion of the Lender as provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

The final maturity date of the Facilities was initially stipulated in the Credit Agreement as the earlier of (i) demand, and (ii) the date that is 12 months after the closing date, with a potential extension to the date that is 24 months after the closing date (the “Initial Maturity Date”). The Facilities bore interest at the annual rate established and designated by the Bank of Nova Scotia as the prime rate, plus 11% per annum. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Facilities was due and payable monthly in arrears, on the last business day of each month, and on the Initial Maturity Date.

 

The Revolving Facility could initially be borrowed and re-borrowed on a revolving basis by the Company during the term of the Facilities, provided that borrowings under the Revolving Facility were limited by a loan availability formula equal to the sum of (i) 90% of insured accounts receivable, (ii) 85% of investment grade receivables, (iii) 75% of other accounts receivable, (iv) 50% of eligible inventory, and (v) the lesser of C$4.05 million ($3.0 million) and (A) 75% of uncollected amounts on eligible signed equipment orders for equipment systems contracts and (B) 85% of uncollected amounts on eligible signed professional services order forms for design contracts. The Revolving Facility could be prepaid in part or in full without a penalty at any time during the term of the Facilities, and the Term Loan could be prepaid in full or in part without penalty subject to 60 days prior notice in each case subject to certain customary conditions.

 

On September 4, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) whereas the Facilities described above were due on December 31, 2021 (the “Revised Maturity Date”). The First Amendment also increased the rate at which the Facilities will bear interest to the annual rate established and designated by the Bank of Nova Scotia as the prime rate, plus 12% per annum.

 

As a result of the First Amendment, the Company was required to prepay, on or before January 31, 2021, $1,000,000 of the balance of the Term Loan and begin making monthly payments of $100,000 on the balance on the Term Loan starting on March 1, 2021. Additionally, the Company was required to make monthly payments of $50,000 on the balance under the Revolving Facility beginning October 1, 2020 and could make no more draws under the Revolving Facility.

 

The Company incurred $1,314,868 of debt issuance costs in connection with these Facilities, of which $676,822 was non-cash in the form of Common Stock and warrant issuances. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing based on the market value of the underlying Common Stock at the valuation measurement date of $6.00, the remaining contractual terms of the warrants of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 1.14% an expected volatility of the price of the underlying Common Stock of 100%. The Company recorded the debt issuance costs as either a deferred financing asset or a direct reduction of the loan obligation based on the pro-rata value of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan, respectively, on the closing date. The debt issuance costs were being amortized as interest expense over the life of the Facilities, until the Revised Maturity Date. On February 17, 2021, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and expensed the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs as loss on extinguishment of debt. As of December 31, 2020, there were $504,644 and $252,322 of unamortized debt issuance costs remaining related to the Revolving Facility and Term Loan, respectively.

Coronavirus Pandemic

 

The outbreak of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus first identified in China, which has spread across the globe including the U.S., has had an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. The response to this coronavirus by federal, state and local governments in the U.S. has resulted in significant market and business disruptions across many industries and affecting businesses of all sizes. This pandemic has also caused significant stock market volatility and further tightened capital access for most businesses. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruptions are of an unknown duration, they could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and profitability.

 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on our financial and operational results, which could be material, will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, its effect on the demand for our products and our supply chain, the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing. We cannot at this time predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a larger material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows beyond what is discussed within this Report.

Results Of Operations

  

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

 

 During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we generated revenues of $12.8 million compared to revenues of $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $8.8 million, or 220%. Equipment systems revenue increased $9.1 million primarily due to an increase in cultivation equipment sales, services revenue decreased $0.3 million and consumable product sales increased $0.1 million.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues was $9.9 million compared to $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $7.1 million, or 252%. This increase is directly attributable to the increase in revenues indicated above.

 

Gross profit was $2.9 million (23% of revenues) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.2 million (30% of revenue) during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased due to a significant increase in lower margin equipment systems revenues for the comparable periods.

 

Operating expenses increased $0.6 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This was due to the offsetting effects of a $0.8 million increase in general operating expenses, mainly due to an increase in salary and travel expenses and a $0.3 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense.

 

Non-operating income was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to non-operating expenses of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company recorded a $1.0 million gain from the PPP loan forgiveness in the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the company incurred interest expense of $0.4 million and recorded an impairment loss of $0.3 million.

 

As a result of the above, we incurred net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, or a gain per share of $0.11, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 or a loss per share of ($0.33).

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we generated revenues of $24.9 million compared to revenues of $8.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $16.7 million, or 201%. Equipment systems revenue increased $16.9 million primarily due to an increase in cultivation equipment sales, services revenue decreased $0.5 million and consumable product sales increased $0.2 million.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues was $19.3 million compared to $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $13.3 million, or 224%. This increase is directly attributable to the increase in revenues indicated above.

 

Gross profit was $5.6 million (22% of revenues) during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.3 million (28% of revenue) during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased due to a significant increase in lower margin equipment systems revenues for the comparable periods.

 

Operating expenses increased $0.6 million to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was due to the offsetting effects of a $0.9 million increase in general operating expenses, mainly due to an increase in salary and travel expenses, offset by a $0.4 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense.

 

Non-operating expense was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company incurred a $1.0 million gain from the forgiveness of the PPP loan, an $0.8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, a $0.6 million expense related to the conversion of debt to equity at a discount to the offering price, and interest expense of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the company incurred interest expense of $0.7 million and recorded an impairment loss of $0.3 million.

 

As a result of the above, we incurred net loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, or a loss per share of ($0.03), compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 or a loss per share of ($0.69).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

The Company uses the supplemental financial measure of Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and it is not a substitute for other measures prescribed by GAAP such as net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, and cash flows from operating activities. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to urban-gro, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of certain operating and non-operating expenses including, but not limited to, interest expense, depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of investments, unrealized exchange losses, debt forgiveness, and stock-based compensation expense that we do not believe reflect our core operating performance.

 

Our board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our operating performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance.

 

The following table reconciles net loss attributable to the Company to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

 

   Three months Ended June 30,   Six months Ended June 30, 
   2021   2020   2021   2020 
Net Income (Loss)  $1,257,444   $(1,569,970)  $(331,138)  $(3,265,601)
Interest expense   4,624    365,709    322,067    664,343 
Interest expense – BCF           636,075     
Loss on extinguishment of debt           790,723     
Stock-based compensation   299,602    559,904    590,407    992,549 
Impairment of investment       310,000        310,000 
Depreciation and amortization   53,941    59,396    109,626    120,411 
PPP Loan forgiveness   (1,032,316)   -     (1,032,316)   -  
Adjusted EBITDA  $583,295   $(274,961)  $1,085,444   $(1,178,298)

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company began reporting the dollar amount of contractually committed orders for equipment systems for which revenue has not been recognized (“Backlog”). Backlog is a non-GAAP financial measure that our board of directors and management team focus on as a key performance measure. Although there can be no assurances that Backlog will be recognized as equipment systems revenue in future periods, we believe that tracking Backlog assists us in estimating the timing of future equipment systems revenue. Backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $27.9 million. This compares to Backlog of $15.2 million and $14.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $50.4 million, which represented an increase of $50.2 million from December 31, 2020. This increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to the net proceeds received from our equity offering in February of 2021 of $58.2 million offset by $5.8 million of debt repayment and $3.5 million of treasury stock purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of $4.5 million. This increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily the result of an improvement in income from operations for the comparable periods with the remaining fluctuation being primarily comprised of fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2021, we had $4.5 million in client deposits related to client orders, compared to client deposits of $4.9 million as of December 31, 2020. We require prepayments from clients before any design work is commenced and before any material is ordered from the vendor. These prepayments are booked to the client deposits liability account when received. We expect client deposits to be relieved from the deposits account no longer than 12 months for each project. At June 30, 2021, we had $6.2 million of vendor prepayments compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, we had $2.3 million in accounts payable, compared to $0.7 million at December 31, 2020.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Historically, cash has been used to increase our investments in strategic partnerships and to acquire property and equipment. We will continue to have ongoing needs to purchase property and equipment to maintain our operations. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2021.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash provided from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily relates to $58.3 million in net proceeds received from the issuance of stock, offset by $5.8 million used in the repayment of notes payable and $3.5 million in treasury shares acquired.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no material changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this Item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

 

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021, at reasonable assurance levels.

 

We believe that our financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

 

Inherent Limitations – Our management team, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our six months ended June 30, 2021, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The company has been sued in a putative breach of contract case in the District Court for Arapahoe County, CO. Crest Ventures, LLC v. urban-gro, Inc. (Case No. 2021CV31301 filed on July 30, 2021). The allegations in the action are based on a claim that Crest Ventures, LLC is entitled to commission compensation on the recent urban-gro, Inc. public stock offering. We believe we have substantial defenses to the claims asserted in this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend this action.

 

To the best of our management’s knowledge and belief, there are no additional material claims that have been brought against us nor have there been any claims threatened.
