NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

KushCo Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 26, 2014. The Company specializes in marketing and selling packaging products, vaporizers, hydrocarbon gases, solvents, accessories and branding solutions to customers operating in the regulated medical and recreational cannabis industries. The Company provides custom branding on packaging products, and its testing standards meet the requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company’s packaging products primarily consists of bottles, bags, tubes and containers. The Company maintains relationships with a broad range of manufacturers and also has sophisticated in-house labeling and customization capabilities. The Company sells a wide selection of vaporizer cartridges with a variety of core materials and heating technologies, as well as a wide selection of batteries to match the cartridges. The Company provides ultra-pure hydrocarbon gases, including isobutene, n-butane, propane, ethanol, pre-mixes, custom blends and other solvents, which are essential in the extraction process. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Hybrid Creative, LLC, is a full-service creative agency that serves both cannabis and non-cannabis clients across the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes include the activity of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company’s operating results for the three and six months periods ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, or for any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, as restated. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, as restated, but does not include all disclosures as required by GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory and related reserves, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets and goodwill, amortization periods, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, and recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowance.

Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies of similar size and having a focus of serving the cannabis industry, including, the development stage of certain products, competition, limited number of suppliers, integration of acquisitions, substantial indebtedness, government regulations, protection of proprietary rights, and dependence on key individuals.

Reclassification

Certain classifications have been made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net income (loss) or retained earnings (accumulated deficit).

(UNAUDITED)

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history and their current financial condition. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,306,346 and $999,752 as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first out (FIFO) method. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods of $35,798,958 and $11,813,755 as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively. The Company also makes prepayments against the future delivery of inventory classified as prepaid inventory. The Company’s prepaid inventory was $11,667,382 and $11,019,000 as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, "Earnings per Share" (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common shares equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and sells packaging products, vaporizers, hydrocarbon gases, solvents, accessories and branding solutions to customers operating in the regulated medical and recreational cannabis industries.

The Company expenses fulfillment costs as incurred because the amortization period would be less than one year in accordance with the ASC 606 practical expedient.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company applies the following steps to recognize revenue for the sale of products that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the promised goods:

Identify the contract with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer. The contract is based on either the acceptance of standard terms, or the execution of terms and conditions contracts. These contracts define each party's rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience and, in some circumstances, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has concluded the sale of finished goods and related shipping and handling are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

(UNAUDITED)

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. The Company estimates the amount of potential refunds at each reporting period using a portfolio approach of historical data, adjusted for changes in expected customer experience, including seasonality and changes in economic factors.

Discounts provided to customers are accounted for as an element of the transaction price and as a reduction to revenue. Discounts were $307,583 and $63,551 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $619,875 and $117,375 for the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

The Company’s products are sold at their standalone selling price.

Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is recognized when control of the finished goods is transferred to the customer. Control of the finished goods is transferred at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. The period of time between the satisfaction of the performance obligation and when payment is due from the customer is not significant.

In the following table, product sales are disaggregated as follows for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended February 28,				Six Months Ended February 28,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Manufacturing	$	34,542,287	$	10,229,154	$	59,402,237	$	18,962,012

Total Net Revenue	$	35,176,332	$	10,361,400	$	60,495,973	$	19,208,492

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company currently expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of ASC 842, which will increase the total assets and the total liabilities that the Company will report relative to such amounts prior to adoption.

Other Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2019, the Company identified inadvertent errors in the accounting for certain shared-settled contingent consideration obligations relating to the Company’s acquisition of CMP Wellness in May 2017, Summit Innovations in May 2018, and Hybrid Creative in July 2018. In connection with those acquisitions, contingent equity consideration relating to certain earn-out arrangements were accounted for as equity. Upon further evaluation, the Company determined that the share-settled contingent consideration should have been accounted for as liabilities with fair value changes recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Accordingly, on April 11, 2019, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (the “Amended 10-K”), which restated the Company’s previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018 and 2017 and unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2017, November 30, 2017, February 28, 2018, May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2018.

Tables summarizing the effects of the restatement adjustments to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2018 and condensed consolidated statements of operations as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 were presented in Note 2, “Restatement” and Note 18, “Quarterly Information (Unaudited)” to the consolidated financial statements in the Amended 10-K.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF SUMMIT INNOVATIONS, LLC

On May 2, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Summit Innovations, LLC (“Summit”), a leading distributor of hydrocarbon gases to the legal cannabis industry. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement with Summit, Summit merged with and into KCH Energy, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with KCH Energy, LLC as the surviving entity.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Total fixed purchase consideration at closing consisted of 1,280,000 shares of common stock and cash consideration of $905,231, net of cash received. Cash consideration of $187,849 and approximately 640,000 shares of common stock were held back by the Company for a period of 15 months for potential post-closing working capital and/or indemnification claims relating to, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement. The former members of Summit may become entitled to receive earn-out consideration of up to an additional 1,280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, based on the net revenue performance of the Summit business during a one-year period following the closing. As of February 28, 2019, we concluded that it did not appear likely that Summit would meet the minimum earnout target threshold. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the related contingent consideration to be zero.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF THE HYBRID CREATIVE, LLC

On July 11, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Zack Darling Creative Associates (“ZDCA”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary The Hybrid Creative, LLC (“Hybrid”), which together operated as a specialist design agency. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with the members of ZDCA, the Company purchased the entire issued member interest of ZDCA. Following the acquisition, ZDCA operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Hybrid continuing to operate as wholly-owned subsidiary of ZDCA.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The consideration paid to the members of Hybrid at the closing included cash consideration consisting of an aggregate of $847,187 in cash, net of cash received, $82,106 in cash held back and share consideration consisting of an aggregate of 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The former members of ZDCA may become entitled to receive cash contingent consideration of up to $485,000 and up to 212,858 common shares of equity consideration, based on the net revenue performance of Hybrid during the period September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019. As of February 28, 2019, we concluded that it did not appear likely that ZDCA would meet the minimum earnout target threshold. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the related contingent consideration to be zero.

NOTE 12 - LOAN AGREEMENT

On November 16, 2017, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary KIM International Corporation (“KIM”) as borrowers, and all of the Company’s other subsidiaries, as credit parties, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gerber Finance Inc., as lender (“Gerber”), effective as of November 6, 2017. The Loan Agreement originally provided a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million at any time outstanding. Under the original terms of the Loan Agreement, the principal amount of loans, plus the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding cannot exceed up to 85% of the Company’s eligible receivables minus reserves. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may also request letters of credit from Gerber. The proceeds of the loans under the Loan Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Line has a maturity date of November 6, 2019. Borrowings under the Revolving Line accrues interest at a rate based on the prime rate as customarily defined, plus a margin of 3.0%. On March 8, 2018, the Company and KIM entered into a first amendment to the Loan Agreement with Gerber. Pursuant to the first amendment, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Line at any time outstanding was increased to $4.0 million and the principal amount of loans, plus the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding could not exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the value of certain inventory and (ii) 50% of certain accounts receivable.

On November 9, 2018, the Company and KIM entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement with Gerber. Pursuant to the second amendment, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Line at any time outstanding was increased to $8.0 million. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding cannot exceed the lesser of (i) 25% of the value of certain inventory (increasing to 40% upon receipt of certain landlord waivers) and (ii) 50% of certain accounts receivable. In April 2019, the Company obtained a waiver of non-compliance with certain covenant violations associated with the restatements noted in Note 2.

NOTE 13 - WARRANT LIABILITY

In June of 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of its common stock to investors in a registered direct offering. The warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the warrants is protected in the event the Company issues securities with a variable conversion or exercise price during the three-year period following the warrants’ issuance. Pursuant to ASC 815, the fair value of the warrants of $15,350,000 was recorded as a derivative liability on the issuance dates. The estimated fair values of the warrants were computed at issuance using an option pricing model.

The estimated fair value of the outstanding warrant liabilities was $13,375,000 and $14,430,000 as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively.

Increases or decreases in the fair value of the derivative liability are included as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. Accordingly, the changes to the derivative liability for warrants resulted in a decrease of $1,271,000 and $1,055,000 in warrant liability and a corresponding gain for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019.

The estimated fair value of the warrants was computed as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018 using the following assumptions:

	February 28,	August 31,

Stock price volatility	71%	81%
Risk-free interest rates	2.51%	2.74%
Annual dividend yield	-%	-%
Term (years)	4.3	4.0

In addition, as applicable management assessed the probabilities of future financing assumptions in the valuation models.

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC Topic 820 defines 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. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation models are applied.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and deferred revenue approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term notes payable approximates its fair value based on interest rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments and similar remaining maturities.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Company's business combinations is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The Company accounts for its investment in Smoke Cartel at fair value. On September 21, 2018, Smoke Cartel and the Company entered into an agreement to sell the RUB web domain and inventory related to this product line and in exchange, received 1,410,145 shares of Smoke Cartel common stock (see Note 7 above.) The fair value of its investment as of September 21, 2018 and February 28, 2019 was based upon the closing stock price of Smoke Cartel. The investment was classified as a Level 2 financial instrument.

In connection with the Company’s registered direct offering in June 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock and recorded embedded conversion features which are accounted for as derivative liabilities (see Note 13 above.) The estimated fair value of the derivatives is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The fair value of contingent consideration is evaluated each reporting period using projected financial information, discount rates, and key inputs. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount rate. Financial information is based on the Company’s most recent internal operational budgets and forecasts. Changes in projected financial information may result in higher fair value measurements. Increases in discount rates and the time to payment may result in lower fair value measurements. Increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

On January 15, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 6,476,190 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase 3,238,095 shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”) (collectively, the “Securities”), in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Securities were offered by the Company pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-221910) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 5, 2017, as amended on January 25, 2018 and February 14, 2018, and declared effective on February 28, 2018, and an additional registration statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, which became effective upon filing on January 16, 2019. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price equal to $5.75 per share of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.

The combined per share purchase price for a share of Common Stock a half of a Warrant was $5.25. The Offering closed on January 18, 2019 with aggregated gross proceeds of approximately $34.0 million. The aggregate net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses, approximated $31.2 million.

During the six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company sold 9,076,664 shares of its common stock to investors in exchange for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $41.6 million.

During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company sold 4,626,296 shares of its common stock to investors in exchange for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $11.6 million.

Share-based Compensation

The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $6,534,044 and $1,408,671 for the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock.

During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a separation agreement dated as of January 12, 2018 with one employee. The Company issued 100,000 restricted common shares as part of the separation agreement to this employee, which valued at $667,000 and was recorded as share-based compensation as of February 28, 2018.

Stock Options

The Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted on February 9, 2016. The Plan, as amended, permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees and directors for up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018:

	2019		2018
Expected term in years		3		1-4
Expected volatility		72% - 87%		60%
Risk-free interest rate		2.35% - 3.01%		1.14% - 2.37%
Expected dividend yield		-%		-%

The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on management's analysis of historical volatility for comparable companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

During the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 5,019,000 and 1,517,500 stock options, respectively, pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. A summary of the Company’s stock option activity during the six month period ended February 28, 2019 is presented below:

						Weighted

Exercisable, February 28, 2019		2,934,149		$	3.18		8.5	$	8,336,782

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, was $3.07 and $3.50, respectively.

During the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the intrinsic value of stock options excercised was $2,230,360 and $1,226,510, respectively.

As of February 28, 2019, there was $21,822,071 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

Overview

We provide customizable packaging products, vaporizers, hydrocarbon gases, solvents, accessories and branding solutions primarily for the cannabis industry. Representative examples of our products include pop-top bottles, vaporizer cartridges and accessories, bags, tubes, and other containers. We sell our solutions predominantly to businesses operating in jurisdictions that have some form of cannabis legalization. These businesses include medical and recreational dispensaries, large and small-scale processors, and packaging re-distributors.

We believe that we have created one of the largest product libraries in the cannabis industry, allowing us to be a comprehensive solutions provider to our customers. Our extensive knowledge of the regulatory environment applicable to the cannabis industry allows us to quickly adapt to our customers' packaging requirements. We maintain the flexibility to enter the markets of decriminalized regions by establishing re-distributor partnerships or opening new facilities. We also have the flexibility to introduce new products and services to our vast customer network. We have no supplier “take or pay” arrangements. In addition to these factors, we believe that we offer competitive pricing, prompt deliveries, and excellent customer service. We expect continued growth as we take measures to expand into new markets, invest in our systems and personnel, forge strategic alliances and invest in our own molds and intellectual property.

Acquisitions

On May 1, 2017 (“Merger Date”), we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, KBCMP, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lancer West Enterprises, Inc. and Walnut Ventures, pursuant to which each of Lancer West Enterprises, Inc. and Walnut Ventures were merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation, resulting in our indirect acquisition of CMP Wellness, LLC (“CMP”). Prior to the merger, CMP was owned 100% by Lancer West Enterprises, Inc. and Walnut Ventures. Membership interest in CMP was the sole asset of Lancer West Enterprises, Inc. and Walnut Ventures. As a result, CMP became our wholly-owned subsidiary. CMP is a distributor of vaporizers, cartridges and accessories.

The purchase price for CMP consisted of an aggregate of $1,500,000 in cash, unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $770,820 having a one-year maturity, and an aggregate of 7,800,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments with respect to confirmation of the levels of working capital and cash held by CMP as of the closing. During the one-year period following the closing, the former owners of CMP may become entitled to receive up to an additional approximately $1,905,000 in cash, in the aggregate, and approximately 4,740,960 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, based on the future performance of CMP.

On May 2, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Summit Innovations, LLC (“Summit”), a leading distributor of hydrocarbon gases to the legal cannabis industry. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Summit merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, KCH Energy, LLC (“KCH”), with KCH as the surviving entity. The consideration paid to the members of Summit at the closing included cash consideration, consisting of an aggregate of $905,231 in cash, net of cash received, and an aggregate of 1,280,000 shares of our common stock. Cash consideration of $187,849 and approximately 640,000 shares of common stock from the share consideration were held back by us for a period of 15 months for potential post-closing working capital and/or indemnification claims relating to, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement. The former members of Summit may become entitled to receive earn-out consideration of up to an additional 1,280,000 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, based on the net revenue performance of the Summit business during a one-year period following the closing. As of February 28, 2019, we concluded that it did not appear likely that Summit would meet the minimum earnout target threshold. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the related contingent consideration to be zero.

The fixed consideration paid to the members of Hybrid at the closing included cash consideration consisting of an aggregate of $847,187 in cash, net of cash received, $82,106 in cash held back and share consideration consisting of an aggregate of 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The former members of ZDCA may become entitled to receive cash contingent consideration of up to $485,000 and up to 212,858 common shares of equity consideration, based on the net revenue performance of Hybrid during the period September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019. As of February 28, 2019, we concluded that it did not appear likely that ZDCA would meet the minimum earnout target threshold. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the related contingent consideration to be zero.

Line of Credit

On November 16, 2017, we and KIM International Corporation (“KIM”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, as borrowers, and all of our other subsidiaries, as credit parties, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gerber Finance Inc., as lender (“Gerber”), effective as of November 6, 2017. The Loan Agreement originally provided a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million at any time outstanding. Under the terms of the original Loan Agreement, the principal amount of loans, plus the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding cannot exceed up to 85% of our eligible receivables minus reserves. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we may also request letters of credit from Gerber. The proceeds of the loans under the Loan Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Line has a maturity date of November 6, 2019. Borrowings under the Revolving Line accrues interest at a rate based on the prime rate as customarily defined, plus a margin of 3.0%. On March 8, 2018, we and KIM entered into a first amendment to the Loan Agreement with Gerber. Pursuant to the first amendment, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Line at any time outstanding was increased to $4.0 million and the principal amount of loans, plus the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding could not exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the value of certain inventory and (ii) 50% of certain accounts receivable.

On November 9, 2018, we and KIM entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement with Gerber. Pursuant to the second amendment, the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility at any time outstanding was increased to $8.0 million. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit, at any time outstanding cannot exceed the lesser of (i) 25% of the value of certain inventory (increasing to 40% upon receipt of certain landlord waivers) and (ii) 50% of certain accounts receivable. In April 2019, the Company obtained a waiver of non-compliance with certain covenant violations associated with the restatements noted in Note 2.

Results of Operations - Comparison for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2019 and 2018

Revenue

For the three months ended February 28, 2019, our revenue increased to $35,176,332, compared to $10,361,400 for the three months ended February 28, 2018, which represents an increase of $24,814,936 or 239%. The increase was primarily attributable to significant organic growth across all markets, including California, following the adoption of adult use cannabis sales on January 1, 2018. In addition, vaping product related sales remained strong as this sector of the cannabis industry continues to perform well. In addition, we achieved strong growth for custom branded products as customers seek differentiated brand building solutions in line with regulatory requirements. Non-organic revenue related to acquisitions represented 7% of total revenue during the three months ended February 28, 2019.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $4,522,093, or 13% of revenue, compared to $3,189,318, or 31% of revenue, for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to a shift in sales mix, increased freight-in charges, and product quality costs, along with the recent China trade tariffs that have been absorbed into costs of goods sold. Management views these tariffs as short-term and strategically decided not to pass on these tariff cost to drive market share.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2019 increased to $13,163,331, or 37% of total revenue, from $10,756,320, or 104% of total revenue, for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the expansion of the business, primarily attributed to increased compensation cost, insurance, professional and facility expenses. For the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, operating expenses included a gain of $5,602,336 and a loss of $6,684,754, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration. We will continue to make significant investments in infrastructure and supply chain to scale effectively.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $8,641,238 compared to $7,567,002 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to investment in infrastructure and personnel to scale the expanding business, offset partially by the gain on contingent consideration.

Other Expense

Other expense, during the three months ended February 28, 2019 was net expense of $273,660, as compared to net expense of $28,581 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The increase is attributed to additional interest expense related to the increased credit line capacity and loss from the change in fair value of our equity investment, partially offset by the warrant liability gain.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $0 and $11,763, for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net Loss

Our net result for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was a net loss of $8,914,898, or $0.10 per share, compared to net loss of $7,607,346 or $0.12 per share, for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Results of Operations - Comparison for the six-month periods ended February 28, 2019 and 2018

Revenue

For the six months ended February 28, 2019, our revenue increased to $60,495,973, compared to $19,208,492 for the six months ended February 28, 2018, which represents an increase of $41,287,481 or 215%. The increase was primarily attributable to significant organic growth across all markets, including California, following the adoption of adult use cannabis sales on January 1, 2018. In addition, vaping product related sales remained strong as this sector of the cannabis industry continues to perform well. In addition, we achieved strong growth for custom branded products as customers seek differentiated brand building solutions in line with regulatory requirements. Non-organic revenue related to acquisitions represented 7% of total revenue during the six months ended February 28, 2019.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended February 28, 2019 was $7,751,231, or 13% of revenue, compared to $6,075,969, or 32% of revenue, for the six months ended February 28, 2018. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to a shift in sales mix, increased freight-in charges, and product quality costs, along with the recent China trade tariffs that have been absorbed into costs of goods sold. Management views these tariffs as short-term and strategically decided not to pass on these tariff cost to drive market share.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2019 increased to $24,850,580, or 41% of total revenue, from $17,948,030, or 93% of total revenue, for the six months ended February 28, 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the expansion of the business, primarily attributed to increased compensation cost, insurance, professional and facility expenses. For the six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, operating expenses included a gain of $5,208,071 and a loss of $11,141,256, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration. We will continue to make significant investments in infrastructure and supply chain to scale effectively.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the six months ended February 28, 2019 was $17,099,349 compared to $11,872,061 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to investment in infrastructure and personnel to scale the expanding business, offset partially by the gain on contingent consideration.

Other Expense Net

Other expense, during the six months ended February 28, 2019 was net expense of $394,623, as compared to net expense of $30,994 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. The increase is attributed to additional interest expense related to the increased credit line capacity and loss from the change in fair value of our equity investment, partially offset by the warrant liability gain.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $0 and $66,178, for the six-month periods ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net Loss

Our net result for the six months ended February 28, 2019 was a net loss of $17,493,972 or $0.22 per share, compared to net loss of $11,969,233 or $0.20 per share, for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 28, 2019, we had cash of $17,941,908 and a working capital surplus of $60,171,051 compared to cash of $13,466,807 and a working capital surplus of $35,206,363 as of August 31, 2018. Working capital increased by $24,964,688 or 71%. The increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in net revenue for the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, as compared to the same period a year ago, and increased purchases of inventory to meet increased customer demand.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $34,753,957 compared to $5,432,819 in net cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018. The change is primarily attributed to an increase in inventory, including related prepayments, and accounts receivable during the six-month period ended February 28, 2019.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $268,956 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 to $2,936,178 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, which can be primarily attributed to higher levels of equipment purchases during the current period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased from $11,844,713 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 to $42,165,236 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2019. The increase is primarily attributed to the sale of common stock to investors.

We manage our liquidity and financial position in the context of our overall business strategy. We continually forecast and manage our cash, working capital balances, and capital structure to meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our business while seeking to maintain liquidity and financial flexibility. We have historically funded our operations primarily through the cash flows generated from our operations, borrowings available under our credit facility and from proceeds from the issuance of equity.

We believe that cash generated from our operations, along with the funds available through debt or equity financings, primarily for the purposes of expanding current operations, making capital acquisitions, or consummating strategic transactions are adequate to fund our financial obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, and did not have during the periods presented, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory and related reserves, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets and goodwill, amortization periods, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowance. We base our estimates 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.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates, other than the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, as described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. We consider investments that, when purchased, have a remaining maturity of ninety (90) days or less to be cash equivalents. We do not believe that a notional or hypothetical 10% change in interest rate percentages would have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio or our interest income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2019.

The material weaknesses that existed on November 30, 2018 are described in Part I, Item 4 - Controls and Procedures in Amendment No 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the interim period ended November 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2019. The material weaknesses in our internal controls have been primarily due to the lack of proper segregation of duties, the lack of sufficient levels of proper supervision and review and a material weakness in the accounting, presentation, and disclosure of share-settled contingent consideration.

We have taken steps to enhance our internal controls over financial reporting and plan to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses. Specifically:

We appointed additional independent members with public company board experience to our board of directors, such that our board of directors is now composed of a majority of independent directors;

On March 9, 2018, our board of directors formed an Audit Committee composed entirely of independent directors that, among other things, assists the board of directors in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements and our financing reporting processes and systems of internal control;

The Company announced the hiring of our new Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Tedford, with significant sales and distribution experience who will focus on the development of the finance and accounting function;

We added staff to our finance team, and outsourced to third party the assessment of certain complex transactions under US GAAP;

In January 2018, we hired a controller with public company experience; and

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a whistleblower policy.

In February 2019, we engaged a national accounting advisory firm to assist with the design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements.

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses described above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies.

The remediation efforts set out herein will continue to be implemented in our 2019 fiscal year. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2019, that occurred during our first fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

These securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on registration exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of securities in each such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and other instruments issued in such transactions. The sales of these securities were made without general solicitation or advertising.
