Note 1 — Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Agrify Corporation (“Agrify” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry, bringing data, science, and technology to the forefront of the market. The Company’s proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (or “VFUs”) enable cultivators to produce the highest quality products with what we believe to be unmatched consistency, yield, and return investment at scale. The Company’s comprehensive extraction product line, which includes hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing, and lab equipment, empowers producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates.
The Company believes it is the only company with an automated and fully integrated grow solution in the industry. The Company’s cultivation and extraction solutions seamlessly combines its integrated hardware and software offerings with a broad range of associated services including consulting, engineering, and construction and is designed to deliver the most complete commercial indoor farming solution available from a single provider. The totality of its product offerings and service capabilities forms an unrivaled ecosystem in what has historically been a highly fragmented market. As a result, the Company believes it is well-positioned to capture market share and create a dominant market position in the indoor cannabis sector.
The Company was formed in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2016 as Agrinamics, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Agrify Corporation. The Company is sometimes referred to herein by the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terminology.
The Company has nine wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries” and the Company also has ownership interests in certain companies.
Reverse Stock Splits
On October 18, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
On July 5, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued as a result of these reverse stock splits. Any fractional shares in connection with these reverse stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse stock splits had no impact on the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its articles of incorporation or on the par value per share of the Common Stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, the exercise price or conversion price (as applicable) of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, and the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of these reverse stock splits.

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2023, the Company’s audit committee concluded that, as a result of inadvertent errors in the accounting for warrants previously issued by the Company, it was appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods in amended quarterly reports for the affected periods. As a result of such restatements, the Company was unable to timely file the 2022 Form 10-K, the First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q and the Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense.
On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq (the “April Nasdaq Notice”) that it was noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) with the SEC by the required due date.
On May 17, 2023, the Company received a second notice from Nasdaq (the “May Nasdaq Notice”) that it remained noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”) with the SEC by the required due date.
On August 16, 2023, the Company received a third notice from Nasdaq that it remain noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Second Quarter Form 10-Q”) with the SEC by the required filing date (the “August Nasdaq Notice” and, together with the April Nasdaq Notice and the May Nasdaq Notice, the “Nasdaq Notices”).
The Nasdaq granted the Company an exception until October 16, 2023, to file its 2022 Form 10-K and First and Second Quarter 2023 Forms 10-Q. The Nasdaq Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
On October 17, 2023, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under the Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the Second Quarter Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K (collectively, the “Delinquent Reports”) in a timely manner.
On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 with the SEC by the required filing date (the “November Nasdaq Notice” and, together with the April Nasdaq Notice, the May Nasdaq Notice, and the August Nasdaq Notice, the “Nasdaq Notices”).
The Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), and the Panel scheduled a hearing for January 11, 2024.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Accounting for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Agrify Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described above, in accordance with the provisions required by the Consolidation Topic 810 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company includes results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Accounting for Less Than Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
For the Company’s less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include, Agrify-Valiant LLC (“Agrify-Valiant”), and Agrify Brands, LLC (“Agrify Brands”), the Company first analyzes whether these entities are a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. A VIE is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The financial results of a VIE are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership or other financial interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company continuously re-assesses (i) whether the joint-venture is a VIE, and (ii) if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it is determined that the joint-venture qualifies as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company’s financial interest in the VIE is consolidated.
Based on the Company’s
analysis of these entities, the Company has determined that Agrify-Valiant and Agrify Brands are each a VIE, and that the Company is the
primary beneficiary. While the Company owns
Going Concern
In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, the Company’s management evaluated whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements’ issuance date. The following matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include assumptions about collection of accounts and notes receivable, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventory, and useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific information, other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, and management’s judgement. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual financial results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. In this Form 10-Q, the Company has reclassified selling, general and administrative expenses to two separate line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
In addition, the Company
effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its Common Stock on October 18, 2022 and a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its Common Stock
on July 5, 2023. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all
periods presented unless otherwise indicated. The shares of Common Stock retained a par value of $
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash and deposits with maturities of three months or less as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable security investments primarily include investments held in mutual funds, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds. The mutual funds are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as part of cash and cash equivalents. The municipal and corporate bonds are considered to be held-to-maturity securities and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these investments was estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. The Company considers current assets to be those investments that will mature within the next 12 months, including interest receivable on long-term bonds.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of amounts for goods and services that are billed and currently due from customers. Accounts receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate of billed amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific risks identified in customer collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer financial conditions. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions, including restricted cash, generally exceed federally insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.

Inventories
The Company values all its inventories, which consist primarily of significant raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Write-offs of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material.

Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service. During construction, costs are accumulated in a construction-in-progress account, with no depreciation. Upon completion, costs are transferred to the appropriate asset account, and depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service.
Goodwill
Goodwill is defined as the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company has determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of conducting the goodwill impairment assessment. A goodwill impairment charge is recorded if the amount by which the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Factors that could lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in projected revenues, a deterioration of projected financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and/or a decline in the Company’s market value as a result of a significant decline in the Company’s stock price.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified an impairment-triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the Company deemed that there was an impairment to the carrying value of its property and equipment and accordingly performed interim testing as of June 30, 2022.
Based on its interim
testing, the Company noted that the carrying value of equity exceeded the calculated fair value by an amount greater than the
aggregate value of our goodwill. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the entire carrying value of its goodwill was impaired,
resulting in a second-quarter impairment charge of $
Intangible Assets
The Company initially records intangible assets at their estimated fair values and reviews these assets periodically for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets, which consist principally of customer-related acquired assets, acquired and/or developed technology, non-compete agreements, and trade names, are reported net of accumulated amortization, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives at amortization rates that are proportional to each asset’s estimated economic benefit. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of these intangible assets annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present.

In performing the review of the recoverability of intangible assets, the Company considers several factors, including whether there have been significant changes in legal factors or the overall business climate that could affect the underlying value of an asset. The Company also considers whether there is an expectation that the asset will be sold or disposed of before the end of its remaining estimated useful life. If, as the result of examining any of these factors, the Company concludes that the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge and reduces the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Convertible Notes Payable
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company identify and record certain ECOs, certain variable-share settlement features, and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded conversion options, variable-share settlement features, and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument which is amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective note using the effective interest method.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815. The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock among other conditions for equity classification.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification, they are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issuance costs and/or debt discounts in connection with the issuance of debt. The Company may cover these costs by paying cash or issuing warrants. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
Certain convertible debt issued by the Company, may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The Company would record the original issue discount to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Leases
The Company determines at the inception of an asset contract if such arrangement is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its consolidated balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. A lease with an initial term of 12 months or less is not recorded on the balance sheet, but related payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s asset contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components may include maintenance, utilities, and other operating costs. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of fixed costs in its lease arrangements as a single lease component. Variable costs, such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but rather are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.
Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company determines the present value of future lease payments by using its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term as the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The Company estimates its secured incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term.
Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The amounts determined for the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities generally do not assume that renewal options or early-termination provisions, if any, are exercised unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue includes amounts collected or billed in excess of revenue that the Company can recognize. The Company recognizes deferred revenue and non-current deferred revenue as revenue as the related performance obligation is satisfied. The Company records deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The estimated fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Historically, the Company has issued stock options to employees, directors and consultants with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method.
The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option grant on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Before the IPO, the Company was a private company and therefore lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of similar publicly-traded companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company’s management exercises significant judgments in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles and their estimated useful lives. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, royalty cost savings and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.
For contingent consideration arrangements, the Company recognizes a liability at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements may be found in Note 4 – Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
The Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) providing services and (3) construction contracts.
In accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:
| ● | identify the customer contract; |
| ● | identify performance obligations that are distinct; |
| ● | determine the transaction price; |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
Identify the customer contract
A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both the Company and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable. Specifically, the Company obtains written/electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Identify performance obligations that are distinct
A performance obligation is a promise by the Company to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies.
Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. The Company’s contracts typically contain multiple performance obligations, for which the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied
Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.
Significant Judgments
The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of equipment, services and construction, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once the Company determines the performance obligations, it determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on the SSP. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and the methods of estimating SSP under the guidance of ASC 606-10-32-33. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions, expected margins, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. The Company licenses its SaaS type subscription license, whereby the customer only has a right to access the software over a specified time period. The full value of the contract is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the SaaS subscription, adjusted monthly if tiered pricing is relevant. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for equipment sales when equipment is made available for shipment to the customer; for services sales as services are rendered to the customer and for construction contracts both as services are rendered and when the contract is completed.
The Company utilizes the cost-plus margin method to determine the SSP for equipment and build-out services. This method is based on the cost of the services from third parties, plus a reasonable markup that the Company believes is reflective of a market-based reseller margin.
The Company determines the SSP for services in time and materials contracts by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.
The Company estimates variable consideration in the form of royalties, revenue share, monthly fees, and service credits at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration is typically not subject to constraint. Changes to variable consideration were not material for the periods presented.

If a contract has payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, the Company will assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. For those contracts in which the period exceeds the one-year threshold, this assessment, as well as the quantitative estimate of the financing component and its relative significance, requires judgment. Accordingly, the Company imputes interest on such contracts at an agreed-upon interest rate and will present the financing components separately as financial income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any such financial income.
Payment terms with customers typically require payment 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s agreements with its customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained. In the infrequent instances where customers raise concern over delivered products or services, the Company has endeavored to remedy the concern and all costs related to such matters have been insignificant in all periods presented.
The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company will accrue all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of consumer goods at the time of shipment. The Company has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The Company receives payment from customers based on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from the satisfaction of performance obligations. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Company fulfills obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company recognizes deferred revenue when consideration has been received or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, and the Company has a future obligation to transfer certain proprietary products.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of the Company’s remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.
The Company generally provides
a one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and generally
transfers to its customers the warranties it receives from its vendors, if any, which generally cover this one-year period. In accordance
with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company
maintains a reserve for warranty returns of $
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other expenses associated with product development. The Company incurs research and development costs associated with the development and enhancement of both hardware and software products associated with its cultivation and extraction equipment, as well as its SaaS-based software offering, Agrify Insights™ cultivation software (“Agrify Insights™”).
Capitalization of Internal Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain software engineering efforts related to the continued development of Agrify Insights™ under ASC Topic 350-40 The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred as research costs. Once the application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase include employee compensation, as well as consulting fees for third-party software developers working on these projects. The estimated useful life of capitalized internal-use software ranges from two to five years.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
When tax returns are filed,
it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject
to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance
with the guidance of ASC 740-10-25-6, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period
during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with
other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit
that is more than
The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. ASC 740-10-25-10, provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740-10-25-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions considered effectively settled, the Company recognizes the full amount of the tax benefit.
The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.
The provision for income taxes represents Federal and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition de-recognition or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the quarter of the change.
Tax contingencies are recorded, if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Net loss available to Common Stockholders represents net loss attributable to Common Stockholders reduced by the allocation of earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities as the holders of the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses. Diluted loss per share adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities including stock options and warrants, are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.
Net loss per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits effected on October 18, 2022 and July 5, 2023. Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new accounting guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The guidance establishes a new “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 606): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements, if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Revenue and Deferred Revenue
Revenue
The Company sells its equipment and services to customers under a combination of a contract and purchase order. Equipment revenue includes sales from proprietary products designed and engineered by the Company such as Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”), container farms, integrated grow racks, and LED grow lights, and non-proprietary products designed, engineered, and manufactured by third parties such as air cleaning systems and pesticide-free surface protection.
Construction contracts normally provide for payment upon completion of specified work or units of work as identified in the contract. Although there is considerable variation in the terms of these contracts, they are primarily structured as time-and-material contracts. The Company enters into time-and-materials contracts under which the Company is paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and other expenses, including materials, as incurred at rates agreed to in the contract. The Company uses three main sub-contractors to execute the construction contracts.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measures
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
In accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, the Company measures fair value at 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. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| Level 2: | Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are not active. | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability. |
21
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has certain financial instruments which consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, warrant liabilities, and contingent consideration. Fair value information for each of these instruments as well as other balances of the Company are as follows:
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue liabilities approximate their fair values, based on the short-term nature of these instruments. |
| ● | Marketable securities classified as current held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, which at September 30, 2023, approximated fair value. |
| ● |
The Company’s deferred consideration was recorded in connection with acquisitions during the six months ended September 30, 2023 and fiscal 2022 using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transactions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the deferred consideration approximated fair value.
| |
| ● | The Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of the warrant liabilities are estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
Marketable Securities
As of September 30, 2023, the Company held investments in municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The municipal and corporate bonds are considered held-to-maturity securities and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of these investments were estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. The Company considers current assets as those investments which will mature within the next 12 months including, interest receivable on long-term bonds.

Contingent Consideration
The Company has classified
its net liability for contingent earn-out considerations to the sellers relating to one acquisition completed during the first quarter
of 2022 and two acquisitions completed during fiscal 2021. The fair value for the contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions
is within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the associated fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which
included the key assumptions to model future revenue, costs of goods sold and operating expense projections. The company recorded no change
in contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Contingent Consideration – PurePressure
The
Company, in its review of actual revenue performance as compared to its originally projected revenue estimates, noted that PurePressure’s
revenue trend is materially below the originally estimated revenue trends incorporated into the Company’s original fair value estimates
at the time of the acquisition. As a result, the Company has reduced its fair value estimate of achievement for PurePressure’s first
earn-out period. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company reduced the estimated fair value of the contingent
consideration liability associated with PurePressure’s first earn-out period by approximately $

Company, in its review of actual revenue performance as compared to its originally projected revenue estimates, noted that Lab Society’s

of the contingent consideration earned by the former members of Precision and Cascade by approximately $
Warrant Liabilities
The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities on September 30, 2023 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent the Company’s best estimate. The volatility rate is determined utilizing the Company’s own share price and the share price of competitors over time.
However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

The Company analyzed whether any of the above customers are a VIE in accordance with ASC 810 and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company has determined that Greenstone, which is a related party because one of the Company’s former Agrify Brands employees and its VP of Engineering had a minority ownership, is a VIE. The Company’s loan receivable from Greenstone was written off in full during the quarter ending June 30, 2023.
Note 6 — Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Such costs include the acquisition cost for raw materials and operating supplies. The Company’s standard payment terms with suppliers may require making payments in advance of delivery of the Company’s products. The Company’s prepaid inventory is a short-term, non-interest-bearing asset that is applied to the purchase of products once they are delivered.

Note 7 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and tested periodically for impairment. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company performs its goodwill impairment testing annually during the fourth quarter, or sooner if indicators or if circumstances were to occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill.
The Company has concluded that there was an impairment-triggering event during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that required the Company to perform a detailed analysis of the current carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets. For goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing purposes, the Company has one reporting unit.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s market capitalization fell below total net assets. In addition, financial performance continued to weaken during the quarter, which was contrary to prior experience. Management reassessed business performance expectations following persistent adverse developments in equity markets, deterioration in the environment in which the Company operates, lower-than-expected sales, and an increase in operating expenses. These indicators, in the aggregate, required impairment testing for goodwill and intangible assets.
Based on the results of this
testing, the Company determined that the carrying values of the aggregate value of its goodwill and intangible assets were not recoverable.
The Company recorded impairment charges during the second quarter of 2022, representing a full impairment of the carrying value of its
goodwill and intangible assets. The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $

Note 9 - Leases
The determination if any arrangement contained a lease at its inception was done based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period. The lease term was determined assuming the exercise of options that were reasonably certain to occur. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s balance sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months were reflected as non-current right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As the implicit interest
rate in its leases was generally not known, the Company’s used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes
of determining the present value of its lease liabilities. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s weighted-average discount rate utilized
for its leases was
When a contract contained lease and non-lease elements, both were accounted for as a single lease component.
The Company had several non-cancelable finance leases for machinery and equipment. The Company’s finance leases have remaining lease terms of one year to five years.
The Company had several non-cancelable operating leases for corporate offices, warehouses, showrooms, research and development facilities and vehicles.

The Pre-Funded 2022 Warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity and the December 2022 Warrants were liability-classified and were recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method. The Pre-Funded 2022 Warrants are equity-classified because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, are immediately exercisable, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise. In addition, such warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The December 2022 Warrants are liability-classified as there is a volatility floor and these warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock.

Stock Options
Stock options granted under the Company’s 2022 Plan are generally non-qualified and are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying Common Stock, expected option life, and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying Common Stock. No stock options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. The Company calculates the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price for a period consistent with the underlying instrument’s expected term. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and directors.
In arriving at stock-based compensation expense, the Company estimates the number of stock-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. The Company’s forfeiture assumption is based primarily on its employee turnover historical experience. If the actual forfeiture rate is higher than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment will be made to increase the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in a decrease to the expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the actual forfeiture rate is lower than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment will be made to lower the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in an increase to expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The expense the Company recognizes in future periods will be affected by changes in the estimated forfeiture rate and may differ significantly from amounts recognized in the current period.

Note 14 — Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s reverse stock splits. Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted-average number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including outstanding stock options, stock related to unvested restricted stock units, and outstanding warrants to the extent dilutive. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net loss per share because the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods, including options and warrants computed using the treasury stock method, is anti-dilutive.

Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, have been excluded from

Bud & Mary’s is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and conversion arising from the Agreement. While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations, litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter.

Recent Business Developments
Private Placement
On January 25, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Agreement”) with an institutional investor and other accredited investors for the sale of 12,253 shares (the “SA Shares”) of our Common Stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,853 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,079 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and, collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “SA Warrants”), in a private placement offering. The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock (or one Pre-Funded Warrant) and the accompanying fraction of a Common Warrant was $1,360.00 per share.
Subject to certain ownership limitations, the SA Warrants became exercisable six months from issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable into one share of Common Stock (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof). Each Common Warrant is exercisable into one share of Common Stock at a price per share of $1,496.00 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date. The institutional investor that received the Pre-Funded Warrants fully exercised such warrants in March 2022.
Raymond Chang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Stuart Wilcox, who previously served as our Chief Operating Officer, and at the time was a member of our Board of Directors, participated in the private placement on essentially the same terms as other investors, except for having a combined purchase price of $1,380.00 per share.
The gross proceeds to us from the private placement were approximately $27.3 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses.
Acquisition of Lab Society
On February 1, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LS Holdings Corp. (“Lab Society”), Lab Society NewCo, LLC, a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of us (“Merger Sub”), Michael S. Maibach Jr. as the Owner Representative thereunder, and each of the shareholders of Lab Society (collectively, the “Owners”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Lab Society. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we consummated the merger of Lab Society with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of us (the “Lab Society Acquisition”).
The aggregate consideration for the Lab Society Acquisition consisted of $4.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness of Lab Society at closing; 2,128 shares of Common Stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and the Earn-out Consideration (as defined below), to the extent earned.
We withheld 638 of the Buyer Shares issuable to the Owners (the “Holdback Lab Buyer Shares”) for the purpose of securing any post-closing adjustment owed to us and any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which we may be entitled under the Merger Agreement. During the third quarter of 2022, 139 of the Holdback Lab Buyer Shares were forfeited after the finalization of the net working capital settlement. The remaining 499 Holdback Lab Buyer Shares were released following the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement. Additional information regarding our contingent consideration arrangements may be found in Note 4 – Fair Value Measures, included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Merger Agreement includes customary post-closing adjustments, representations, and warranties and covenants of the parties. The Owners may become entitled to additional consideration with a value of up to $3.5 million based on the eligible net revenues achieved by the Lab Society business during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, of which 50% will be payable in cash and the remaining 50% will be payable by issuing shares of Common Stock.
The purchase price allocation for the business combination has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to those allocations may occur as additional information becomes available during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The estimated fair value at acquisition is $7.9 million and may be adjusted upon further review of the values assigned to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.
45
Our initial fair value estimates related to the various identified intangible assets were determined under various valuation approaches including the Income Approach, Relief-from-Royalty Method, and Discounted Cash Flow Method. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.
We amortize our intangible assets assuming no residual value over periods in which the economic benefit of these assets is consumed.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 14, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, in a private placement transaction, in exchange for the payment by the Investor of $65 million, less applicable expenses as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, a senior secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $65 million (the “SPA Note”), and a warrant (the “SPA Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,406 shares of Common Stock.
August 2022 Securities Exchange Agreement
On August 18, 2022, we reached an agreement with the Investor to amend its existing SPA Note and entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “August 2022 Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the August 2022 Exchange Agreement, we partially paid $35.2 million along with approximately $0.3 million in repayments for other fees under the SPA Note and exchanged the remaining balance of the SPA Note for a the Exchange Note with an aggregate original principal amount of $35.0 million and a new warrant to purchase 71,139 shares of Common Stock (the “Note Exchange Warrant”). Additionally, we exchanged the SPA Warrant for a new warrant for the same number of underlying shares but with a reduced exercise price (the “Modified Warrant” and, collectively with the Note Exchange Warrant, the “August 2022 Warrants”). Additional information regarding our August 2022 Warrants may be found in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 – Fair Value Measures, included in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Exchange Note is a senior secured obligation of ours and ranks senior to all indebtedness of ours. The Exchange Note will mature on the three-year anniversary of its issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and contains a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning September 1, 2022. The principal amount of the Exchange Note will be payable on the Maturity Date, provided that the holder will be entitled to a cash sweep of 20% of the proceeds received by us in connection with any equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note.
At any time, we may prepay all of the Exchange Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Note plus accrued but unpaid interest. The holder will also have the option of requiring us to redeem the Exchange Note on the one-year or two-year anniversaries of issuance at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, or if we undergo a fundamental change at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note plus accrued but unpaid interest.
The Exchange Note imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon us, as well as covenants that restrict us and our subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions, requires us not to exceed maximum levels of allowable cash spend while the Exchange Note is outstanding, and requires us to maintain minimum amounts of cash on hand. If an event of default under the Exchange Note occurs, the holder can elect to redeem the Exchange Note for cash equal to 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the holder), plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest, which accrues at a rate per year equal to 15% from the date of a default or event of default.
46
Until the date the Exchange Note is fully repaid, the holder has, subject to certain exceptions, the right to participate for up to 30% of any offering of debt, equity (other than an offering of solely Common Stock), or equity-linked securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security, of us or our subsidiaries.
The Modified Warrant has an exercise price of $430.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, will be exercisable on and after the six-month anniversary of issuance, has a term of five and one-half years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Modified Warrant (the “Modified Warrant Shares”), in which case the Modified Warrant will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis at the holder’s election.
The Note Exchange Warrant has an exercise price of $246.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, was exercisable upon issuance, and has a term of five and one-half years from the date of issuance and is exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Note Exchange Warrant Shares” and, together with the Modified Warrant Shares, the “Exchange Warrant Shares”), in which case the Note Exchange Warrant will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis at the holder’s election. Until we completed a qualified equity financing of at least $15.0 million, which requirement was satisfied with sales under the at-the-market continuous equity offering (“ATM” or “ATM Program”), the Note Exchange Warrant’s exercise price would have been reduced to the extent we issued securities for a lower purchase price. The Note Exchange Warrant also prohibited us, until following the completion of such qualified equity financing, from issuing warrants with more favorable or preferential terms and/or provisions.
The August 2022 Warrants each provide that in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of such warrants result in the holder’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of exercise (which percentage may be decreased or increased by the holder, but to no greater than 9.99). Additionally, the August 2022 Warrants could not be exercised for more than an aggregate of 26,542 shares of Common Stock unless and until shareholder approval is obtained, which approval was obtained on October 14, 2022.
Modification of Notes Payable
On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement” or “Second Amendment”) with the Investor. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at closing the Company will prepay approximately $10.3 million in principal amount under the August 2022 Note and exchange $10.0 million in principal amount of the remaining balance of the August 2022 Note for a new senior secured convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) with an original principal amount of $10.0 million. After the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the August 2022 Note remained outstanding with a remaining balance of $11.7 million.
This exchange was deemed to be an extinguishment under ASC 470, as the modified debt added a substantive conversion option that was not inherent in the August 2022 Note. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $4.6 million.
47
Convertible Notes
On March 8, 2023, as a result of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued the Convertible Note to High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Lender”) with a principal balance of $10 million. The Convertible Note bears a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning April 1, 2023. The principal amount of the Convertible Note will be payable on the Maturity Date, provided that the holder will be entitled to a cash sweep of 30% of the proceeds of any at-the-market equity offering and 20% of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with any other equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the August 2022 Note or the Convertible Note.
At any time, the Company may prepay all of the Convertible Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest. The holder will also have the option of requiring the Company to redeem the Convertible Note (i) on August 19, 2023 or August 19, 2024 at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, provided that the redemption right on August 19, 2023 will not be exercisable if the Company raises at least $8.0 million in gross proceeds from equity offerings prior to such date, or (ii) if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined below) at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest.
The Convertible Note will impose certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that will (i) restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, (ii) restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, and (iii) restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the Convertible Note occurs, the holder can elect to redeem the Convertible Note for cash equal to (A) 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the Investor), plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 15% from the date of a default or event of default, or, only in connection with certain events of default, (B) the greater of the amount under clause (A) or the sum of (i) 115% of the product of (a) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date that the holder delivers a notice of acceleration; (b) the total then outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note (in thousands); and (c) the greater of (1) the highest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the holder delivers such notice and (2) the highest daily VWAP per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading immediately before the date the applicable event of default occurred and (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Note.
Until the date the Convertible Note is fully repaid, the holder will have, subject to certain exceptions, the right to participate for up to 30% of any offering of debt, equity (other than an offering of solely Common Stock), or equity-linked securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security, of the Company or its subsidiaries.
If the holder elects to convert the Convertible Note, the conversion price per share will be $7.64, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. The conversion of the Convertible Note will be subject to certain customary conditions. The Convertible Note may not be converted into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in the holder and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that upon 61 days’ notice, such ownership limitation may be adjusted by the holder, but in any case, to no greater than 9.99%.
The Company evaluated the embedded features in accordance with ASC 815-15-25 and the determined embedded features are not required to be bifurcated and separately measured at fair value.
Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes described above was $1,757,931 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Accrued interest totaled $1,041,388 as of September 30, 2023.
48
Note Conversion
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the Company entered into with High Trail Special Situations LLC on March 8, 2023, the Investor elected on April 26, 2023, to convert $1.6 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount on the Convertible Note for 153,617 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the above referenced accredited Lender (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange or redeem $2.0 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note for a total of 445,196 shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock. Due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99%, a total of 69,568 shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued to the Investor, with the remaining 375,629 shares held in abeyance until the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the redemption of $11,609.
At The Marketing Offering
On October 18, 2022, the Company entered into the ATM Program with the Agent pursuant to which it may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million, depending on market demand, with the Agent acting as an agent for sales. The ATM Program allowed the Company to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to specific parameters defined by the Company as well as those defined by the SEC and the ATM Program agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company sold 306,628 shares of Common Stock, under the ATM at an average price of $50.85 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $15.6 million, and net proceeds of $15.0 million after commissions and fees to the Agent totaling $0.5 million and legal fees totaling $0.1 million. $3.0 million of the proceeds under the ATM Program were used to repay amounts due to the Investor under the Exchange Note. The Company used net proceeds generated from the ATM Program for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness, funding its transformation initiatives and product category expansion efforts and capital expenditures. Due to the late filing of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is no longer eligible to utilize the registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the ATM Program, and does not anticipate any further sales under the ATM Program in the foreseeable future.
Confidentially Marketed Public Offering
On December 16, 2022, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC as the underwriter, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 594,232 shares of our Common Stock, and, in lieu of Common Stock to certain investors that so chose, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded 2022 Warrants”) to purchase 75,000 shares of our Common Stock, and accompanying warrants (the “December 2022 Warrants”) to purchase 1,338,462 shares of our Common Stock (the “Offering”). The combined public offering price for each share of Common Stock and accompanying two warrants was $13.00 per share, and the combined offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying two warrants was $12.98 per share.
The December 2022 Warrants may not be exercised by the holder to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own, after such exercise more than 4.99% of the shares of our Common Stock then outstanding (subject to the right of the holder to increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to us, provided that such limitation cannot exceed 9.99%).
The Pre-Funded 2022 Warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity and the December 2022 Warrants were liability-classified and were recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method. The Pre-Funded 2022 Warrants are equity-classified because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, are immediately exercisable, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, such warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The December 2022 Warrants are liability-classified as there is a volatility floor and these warrants are not indexed to our Common Stock.
49
Raymond Chang, our Chairman and CEO, participated in the Offering and purchased 115,385 shares of Common Stock and 230,769 warrants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.5 million.
We received aggregate gross proceeds to us from the Offering of approximately $8.7 million including offering costs of approximately $0.5 million for broker fees and legal expenses, for net proceeds of $8.2 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with our existing cash resources, for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and repayment of debt.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions about collection of accounts and notes receivable, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets.
Financial Overview
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We generate revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) providing services and (3) construction contracts.
In accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition”, we recognize revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:
| ● | identify the customer contract; | |
| ● | identify performance obligations that are distinct; |
| ● | determine the transaction price; | |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and | |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
50
Identify the customer contract
A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both use and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability, and consideration is probable. Specifically, we obtain written/electronic signatures on contracts and a purchase order, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.
Identify performance obligations that are distinct
A performance obligation is a promise by us to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and our promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies.
Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. Our contracts typically contain multiple performance obligations, for which we account for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price we would charge for a specific piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied
Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.
Significant Judgments
We enter into contracts that may include various combinations of equipment, services and construction, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once we determine the performance obligations, it determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. We then allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on the SSP. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. We determine SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and the methods of estimating SSP under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-32-33. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions, expected margins, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. We license our software as a SaaS type subscription license, whereby the customer only has a right to access the software over a specified time period. The full value of the contract is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the SaaS subscription, adjusted monthly if tiered pricing is relevant. We typically satisfy our performance obligations for equipment sales when equipment is made available for shipment to the customer; for services sales as services are rendered to the customer and for construction contracts both as services are rendered and when contract is completed.
We utilize the cost-plus margin method to determine the SSP for equipment and build-out services. This method is based on the cost of the services from third parties, plus a reasonable markup that we believe is reflective of a market-based reseller margin.
51
We determine the SSP for services in time and materials contracts by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.
We estimate variable consideration in the form of royalties, revenue share, monthly fees, and service credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration is typically not subject to constraint. Changes to variable consideration were not material for the periods presented.
If a contract has payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, we will assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. We have elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. For those contracts in which the period exceeds the one-year threshold, this assessment, as well as the quantitative estimate of the financing component and its relative significance, requires judgment. Accordingly, we impute interest on such contracts at an agreed upon interest rate and will present the financing components separately as financial income. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any such financial income.
Payment terms with customers typically require payment 30 days from invoice date. Our agreements with customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained. In the infrequent instances where customers raise a concern over delivered products or services, we have endeavored to remedy the concern and all costs related to such matters have been insignificant in all periods presented.
We have elected to treat shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, we will accrue all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of consumer goods at the time of shipment. We have payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
We receive payment from customers based on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from the satisfaction of performance obligations. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. The difference in the opening and closing balances of our deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between our performance and the customer’s payment. We fulfill obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts receivables are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. We recognize deferred revenue when consideration has been received or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, and we have a future obligation to transfer certain proprietary products.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, we are required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of our contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of our remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.
We generally provide a one-year warranty on our products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, we accrue for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The reserve for warranty returns is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Accounting for Business Combinations
We allocated the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development assets, and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. These fair values are typically estimated with assistance from independent valuation specialists. The purchase price allocation process requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets, contractual support obligations assumed, contingent consideration arrangements, and pre-acquisition contingencies.
52
Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain.
Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:
| ● | future expected cash flows from software license sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies; | |
| ● | expected costs to develop in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when completed; | |
| ● | the acquired company’s brand and competitive position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; | |
| ● | cost of capital and discount rates; and | |
| ● | estimating the useful lives of acquired assets as well as the pattern or manner in which the assets will amortize. |
The fair value estimates related to the various identified intangible assets were determined under various valuation approaches including the Income Approach, Relief-from-Royalty Method, and Discounted Cash Flow Method. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the result of the acquisition of TriGrow, which occurred in 2020, the acquisition of Sinclair which occurred in 2021, the acquisition of PurePressure, which also occurred in 2021, and the acquisition of Lab Society, which occurred in 2022. As a result of these transactions, customer relationships, acquired developed technology, non-compete agreements and trade names were identified as intangible assets, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
We recognize the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on December 2 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has determined it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of conducting the goodwill impairment assessment. A goodwill impairment charge is recorded if the amount by which the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Factors that could lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in projected revenues, a deterioration of projected financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and a decline in the Company’s market value as a result of a significant decline in the Company’s stock price.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified a potential impairment triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the Company deemed that there may be an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing to determine the proper fair value of its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2022. Based on its interim testing, the Company noted that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets should be impaired. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing on goodwill and intangible assets may be found in Note 8 – Intangible Assets, Net and Goodwill, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no impairment charges were recorded.
53
Capitalization of Internal Software Development Costs
We capitalize certain software engineering efforts related to the continued development of Agrify Insights software under ASC 985-20. Costs incurred during the application development phase are only capitalized once technical feasibility has been established and the work performed will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase include employee compensation, as well as consulting fees for third-party software developers working on these projects. Costs related to the research and development are expensed as incurred until technical feasibility is established as well as post-implementation activities. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from two to five years.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
We follow the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-5, “Basic Recognition Threshold.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10-25-6, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. We believe our tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, we have not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
We recognize the benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. ASC 740-10-25-10, “Basic Recognition Threshold” provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740-10-25-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions considered effectively settled, we recognize the full amount of the tax benefit.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We follow the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation.” ASC Topic 718 establishes standards surrounding the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, such as options issued under our Stock Option Plans.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying Common Stock, expected option life, and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying Common Stock.
54
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of our traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon our history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. We calculate the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of our peer group stock price for a period consistent with the underlying instrument’s expected term. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and directors.
In arriving at stock-based compensation expense, we estimate the number of stock-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Our forfeiture assumption is based primarily on its turn-over historical experience. If the actual forfeiture rate is higher than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment will be made to increase the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in a decrease to the expense recognized in our financial statements. If the actual forfeiture rate is lower than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment will be made to lower the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in an increase to expense recognized in our financial statements. The expense we recognize in future periods will be affected by changes in the estimated forfeiture rate and may differ significantly from amounts recognized in the current period.
It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies disclosed above.

Revenues
Our goal is to provide our customers with a variety of products to address their entire indoor agriculture needs. Our core product offering includes our Agrify Vertical Farming Units (or “VFUs”) and Agrify Integrated Grow Racks with our Agrify Insights software, which are supplemented with environmental control products, grow lights, facility build-out services and extraction equipment.
We generate revenue from sales of cultivation solutions, including ancillary products and services, Agrify Insights software, facility build-outs and extraction equipment and solutions. We believe that our product mix forms an integrated ecosystem which allows us to be engaged with our customers from early stages of the grow cycle — first during the facility build-out, to the choice of cultivation solutions, running the grow business with our Agrify Insights software and finally, our extraction, post-processing and testing services to transform harvest into a sellable product. We believe that delivery of each solution in the various stages in the process will generate sales of additional solutions and services.

Revenues decreased by less than $3.9 million, or 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Revenues decreased by $38.4 million, or 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The comparative decrease in revenue was generated primarily from decreases in revenue from facility build-outs and extraction solutions. Extraction division revenues totaled $2.9 million and $12.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Additionally, design and build revenues decreased by $1.3 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, due to the continued build-out of facilities under our TTK Solutions.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold represents a combination of the following: construction-related costs associated with our facility build-outs, internal and outsourced labor and material costs associated with the assembly of both cultivation equipment (primarily VFUs) and extraction equipment, as well as labor and parts costs associated with the sale or provision of other products and services.

Cost of goods sold decreased by $39.3 million, or 77%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The comparative quarterly decrease in cost of goods sold is associated with the decreased amount of subcontractor construction costs related to our facility build-outs, internal and outsourced labor and materials costs for the extraction solutions sales, and cultivation solutions, including ancillary products and services.

Gross profit totaled $1.0 million, or 31.0% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a gross loss of $4.1 million, or 58.6% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Gross profit totaled $2.6 million, or 18.3% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a gross profit of $1.7 million, or 3.2% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $5.1 million three-month and $0.9 million nine-month comparative decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to to a smaller decrease in costs of goods sold relative to the decrease in revenue for the period. We realized a gross profit margin of 45% and 28% associated with our extraction solutions revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, while we realized a gross loss margin of approximately 303% and 149% on our cultivation-related revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities decreased by $43.6 million, or 92% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.The decrease is related to the fair value remeasurement of warrants discussed in Note 4.
Income Tax Benefit
The change in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a recording of a valuation allowance on the company’s net deferred tax assets.
Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
We consolidate the results of operations of two less than wholly-owned entities into our consolidated results of operations. On December 8, 2019, we formed Agrify Valiant LLC, a joint-venture limited liability company in which we are 60% majority owner and Valiant-America, LLC owns 40%. Agrify Valiant LLC started its operations during the second quarter of 2020. On January 22, 2020, as part of the acquisition of TriGrow, we received TriGrow’s 75% interest in Agrify Brands, LLC (formerly TriGrow Brands, LLC), a licensor of an established portfolio of consumer brands that utilize our grow technology. The license of these brands is ancillary to the sale of our VFUs and provides a means to differentiate customers’ products in the marketplace. It is not a material aspect of our business and we have not realized any royalty income. Accordingly, we are currently evaluating whether to continue this legacy business from an operational standpoint, as well as from a legal and regulatory perspective.
59
Loss attributable to non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit (or loss) that are attributable to non-controlling interest calculated as a product of the net income of the entity multiplied by the percentage of ownership held by the non-controlling interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $0.2 million. Our current working capital needs are to support revenue growth, to fund construction and equipment financing commitments associated with our TTK Solutions, manage inventory to meet demand forecasts and support operational growth. Our long-term financial needs primarily include working capital requirements and capital expenditures. We anticipate that we will allocate a significant portion of our current balance of working capital to satisfy the financing requirements of our current and future TTK arrangements. These arrangements require a significant amount of upfront capital necessary to fund construction, associated with facility build-outs, and equipment. There are many factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds in the future, including the ability to generate cash from operations, raise debt capital and raise cash from the issuance of our securities. The amount of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business strategy and general economic conditions.
We may opportunistically raise debt capital, subject to market and other conditions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategies, we may also raise debt capital for strategic alternatives and general corporate purposes. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Indebtedness
We entered into one Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Bank of America pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. We received total proceeds of approximately $0.8 million from the unsecured PPP Loan which was originally scheduled to mature in May 2022. We applied for forgiveness on the $0.8 million of our PPP Loan however was denied by the SBA. On June 23, 2022, we received a letter from Bank of America agreeing to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per year. The PPP loan is payable in 34 equal combined monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $24 thousand that commenced on August 7, 2022.
On March 14, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investor. The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of the SPA Note in the aggregate amount of $65.0 million and a SPA Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,406 shares of Common Stock, with the potential for two potential subsequent closings for notes with an original principal amount of $35.0 million each.
On August 18, 2022, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the August 2022 Exchange Agreement, we partially paid $35.2 million along with approximately $0.3 million in repayments for other fees under the SPA Note and exchanged the remaining balance of the SPA Note for an Exchange Note with an aggregate original principal amount of $35.0 million and a Note Exchange Warrant to purchase 71,139 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, we exchanged the SPA Warrant for a Modified Warrant for the same number of underlying shares but with a reduced exercise price.
On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a new Securities Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the March 2023 Exchange Agreement, we prepaid approximately $10.3 million in principal amount under the Exchange Note and exchanged $10.0 million in principal amount of the remaining balance of the Exchange Note for a new senior secured convertible note (the “Convertible Note”).
60
The Convertible Note is a senior secured obligation and ranks senior to all of our indebtedness. The Convertible Note will mature on August 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and has a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid monthly, in cash. The principal amount of the Convertible Note will be payable on the maturity date, provided that the holder will be entitled to a cash sweep of 30% of the proceeds of any at-the-market equity offering and 20% of the proceeds received by us in connection with any other equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note. On October 27, 2023, CP Acquisitions LLC, and entity affiliated with and controlled by Raymond Chang, acquired the Exchange Note and the Convertible Note. As of October 30, 2023, there was approximately $6.7 million outstanding under the Exchange Note and $8.8 million outstanding under the Convertible Note.
At any time, we may prepay all of the Exchange Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Note plus accrued but unpaid interest. The holder will also have the option of requiring us to redeem the Exchange Note on the one-year or two-year anniversaries of issuance at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, or if we undergo a fundamental change at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note plus accrued but unpaid interest.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $19.2 million, which included $3.6 million related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.1 million of stock based compensation expense, and $24 thousand of debt issuance costs. Net cash was increased by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.4 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities consists of net income adjusted for non-cash benefits and expenses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary source of cash provided by operating activities is cash collections from our customers related to the sale of cultivation and extraction solutions. Our primary uses of cash from our operating activities include payments for employee-related expenditures, payments for inventory due to increased demand forecasts, construction costs related to TTK Solutions, acquisition-related costs and the payment of other operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $25.2 million, which included cash inflows of $10.5 million in proceeds from sale of securities and $15.3 million in proceeds from repayment of loan receivable, and cash outflows of $0.6 million related to a certain loan issuance of loan and $0.1 million in purchases of property and equipment.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by investing activities consists primarily of maturities and sales of investments in marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of purchases of marketable securities, cash paid associated with our 2022 acquisition of Lab Society, the issuance of loans receivable in connection with our financing of construction and equipment under its TTK Solutions offering and purchases of property and equipment expenditures. The capital expenditures support growth and investment in property and equipment, to expand research, development, and testing capabilities and, to a lesser extent, the replacement of existing equipment.
61
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $9.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by the repayment of certain of our debt instruments of $10.3 million, and payments on insurance financing loans of $1.2 million, offset by proceeds generated from the sale of securities pursuant to our “at the market” program, net, of $1.5 million and proceeds from issuance of a related party note of $0.5 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock, debt, and warrants in private placements and proceeds from the initial and secondary public offerings. Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of repayment of debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are therefore not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Part I, Item, 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions that we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations and are recorded in the period in which they become known. We have identified the following estimates that, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, goodwill impairment assessment, revenue recognition and cost of goods sold.
The significant accounting policies and estimates that have been adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are detailed in Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included in our 2022 Annual Report and Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no changes in these policies and estimates that had a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered in this Quarterly Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
For more information on recently issued accounting pronouncements are included within Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, included elsewhere in the notes to consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are implementing certain measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting, including hiring technically qualified personnel and improving our technical accounting resources and capabilities. Other than those measures, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 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
From time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings or claims arising in the ordinary course of business. For information related to legal proceedings, see the discussion under the caption Legal Proceedings in Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our recently completed reverse stock split is subject to several risks, and we cannot predict whether it will increase the market price for our Common Stock.
We cannot predict whether the 1-for-20 reverse stock split completed on July 5, 2023 will increase the market price for our Common Stock. The history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied, and the market price of our Common Stock will also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Further, there are a number of risks associated with the reverse stock split, including:
| ● | The market price per share of our shares of Common Stock post-split may not remain in excess of the Minimum Bid Requirement, or we may fail to meet the other requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, resulting in the delisting of our Common Stock. |
| ● | Although the Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price may help generate the interest of new investors, the reverse stock split may not result in a per-share price that will successfully attract certain types of investors and such resulting share price may not satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. Further, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business, may adversely affect the interest of new investors in the shares of our Common Stock. As a result, the trading liquidity of the shares of our common stock may not improve as a result of the reverse stock split and there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in the intended benefits. |
| ● | The reverse stock split could be viewed negatively by the market and other factors may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our Common Stock. Consequently, the market price per post-split share may not increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the implementation of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split. Any reduction in total market capitalization as the result of the reverse stock split may make it more difficult for us to meet the Nasdaq Listing Rule regarding minimum value of listed securities, which could result in our shares of Common Stock being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. |
| ● | The reverse stock split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. |
