Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Business Combinations
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of urban-gro, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for condensed financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are audited 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 loss, condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-10-225). The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired entities and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquired entities. Acquisition related costs are recognized in net income (loss) as incurred.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated revenues earned under percentage of completion construction contracts, professional
service contracts, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, inventory write-offs, allowance for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and allowance for bad-debt.
Reclassification and Balance Sheet Classifications
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.
Balance Sheet Classifications
The Company includes in current assets and liabilities the following amounts that are in connection with construction contracts that may extend beyond one year: contract assets and contract liabilities (including retainage invoiced to customers contingent upon anything other than the passage of time), capitalized costs to fulfill contracts, retainage payable to sub-contractors and accrued losses on uncompleted contracts. A one-year time period is used to classify all other current assets and liabilities when not otherwise prescribed by the applicable accounting principles.
Contract Assets and Liabilities and Revenue Recognition and Customer Deposits
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The timing between when Company collects cash from its construction design-build customers can create a contract asset or contract liability. Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company's contract assets and liabilities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criteria standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given to whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services and products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
The Company derives revenue predominately from the sale of equipment systems, services, construction design-build, and from other various immaterial contracts with customers. Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional discussion.
Customer Deposits
For equipment systems contracts, the Company’s policy is to collect deposits from customers at the beginning of the contract. Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company's customer deposits.
Functional and Reporting Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and Reporting Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is US dollars. All transactions in currencies other than US dollars are translated into US dollars on the date of the transaction. Any exchange gains and losses related to these transactions are recognized in the current period earnings as other income (expense).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory note and other current assets and liabilities. We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than 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 with observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The carrying amount of our cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory note, and other current assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Investments in non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less other-than-temporary impairments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Cash
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not maintain any cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with financial institutions that may from time to time exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has Insured Cash Sweep programs in place with its financial institutions to ensure that these excess funds are also federally-insured.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts Receivable, Net
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivables are carried at the original invoiced amounts less an estimate of expected credit losses. The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses and the related expected credit loss based upon the Company's historical credit loss experience and the age of the account adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics, current economic conditions, relationship with the customer, and reasonable forecasts. Credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, thus current receivables do not bear interest. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit to the customer. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an increase in the expected credit losses balance would be required. A provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent they are considered unlikely to be collected. Occasionally, the Company will write off bad-debt directly to the bad-debt expense account when the balance is determined to be uncollectible.
Property, Plant, and Equipment, net
Property, Plant, and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate.
Operating Lease Right of Use Assets
Operating Lease Right of Use Assets
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines whether a contract is a lease at contract inception or for a modified contract at the modification date. At inception or modification, the Company recognizes right-of-use ("ROU" assets and related lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all leases greater than one-year in duration. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. If the lease contains a renewal and/or termination option, the exercise of the option is included in the term of the lease if the Company is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") based on the information available at the commencement date of the respective lease to determine the present value of the future payments. The IBR is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in equal amounts of rent expense attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.
The Company does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease right of use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment. The Company has various equipment and office leases with an imputed annual interest rate of 8%.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets, consist of legal fees for application of patents and trademarks, as well as customer relationships, trademarks and trade names and backlog from the acquisitions of DVO, 2WR and Emerald. Our patents and trademarks are recorded at cost, while the intangibles from our acquisitions are recorded at fair value and are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated life, generally 5 years for patents, 5 years for trademarks and trade names, 7 years for customer relationships, and 1 year for backlog. Intangible assets are reported in the "Intangible Asset" line on the balance sheet.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on October 1 and at any time when events or circumstances suggest impairment may have occurred.
The testing for impairment consists of a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value, an impairment will be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill. In testing goodwill for impairment, we determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units based upon a discounted future cash flow analysis. Goodwill, trade names and patents are our only indefinite-lived intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their contractual term or estimated useful lives.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment will be recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Investments
Investments
Investments without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of revenues in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. The Company’s cost of revenues includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the
purchasing of products and providing services, costs related to construction design-build contracts, fees for third-party commissions, and shipping costs.
Advertising Costs
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs in the periods the costs are incurred. Prepayments made under contracts are included in prepaid expenses and expensed when the advertisement is run.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options to employees, directors, and consultants in non-capital raising transactions for fees and services. The Company accounts for RSUs and options issued to employees and directors with the award being measured at its fair value at the date of grant and amortized ratably over the estimated service period. The Company accounts for stock issued to consultants with the value of the stock compensation based upon the measurement date as determined at the grant date of the award.
Warrants
Warrants
The Company estimates the fair value of warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term, risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the warrants and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are moderately judgmental.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, and state and local tax returns in applicable jurisdictions. Provisions for current income tax liabilities, if any, would be calculated and accrued on income and expense amounts expected to be included in the income tax returns for the current year. Income taxes reported in earnings, if any, would also include deferred income tax provisions.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, if any, would be computed on differences between the financial statement bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities would be included as a component of income tax expense. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted tax rates would be charged or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.
Assets and liabilities would be established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions, in the judgment of the Company, do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.
Loss Per Share
Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share would be computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented. The diluted earnings per share calculation is not presented as it results in an anti-dilutive calculation of net loss per share.
The treasury stock method would be used to calculate diluted earnings per share for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants. This method assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"), changing the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses based upon a company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics, current economic conditions, and reasonable forecasts, rather than incurred losses as required previously by the other-than-temporary impairment model. ASU 2016-13 applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other
receivables, loans, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 was effective January 1, 2020, and the Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard primarily applied to the valuation of the Company's accounts receivable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures, and the Company's estimate of expected credit losses as of January 1, 2023, using the expected credit loss evaluation process described above, resulted in no adjustments to the provision for credit losses and no cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained earnings (deficit) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on the adoption date of the standard.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has decided to early adopt ASU 2023-07 by incorporating the disclosure requirements in Note 19 - Segments.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, and certain other amendments related to income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
There are other various updates recently issued by the FASB, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company's financial condition or the results of our operations.
Inventories
Inventories
Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted-average cost method. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold at the realization of change in value. Once written down, inventories are carried at this lower basis until sold or scrapped.
