1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
GrowOp Technology Ltd. “GrowOp” was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 16, 2010 and is located in California. GrowOp is a distributor of indoor farming by integrating the best of breed hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture. The products are utilized by companies, horticulture enthusiasts, local urban farmers and green house growers. The products can be purchased through specialty retailers throughout the United States and Europe. GrowOp’s principal source of revenue is from sales of its hydroponic equipment.
The accompanying condensed financial statements include all of the accounts of GrowOp. These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States for financial information and with the instructions to Form S-1 and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
In February 2012 the board of directors approved a stock split of 6 for 1 on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. These consolidated financial statements have retroactively restated common shares to the earliest presentation reported along with the earnings per share calculation to reflect the 6 for 1 split.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Accounts Receivable
The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. There was an allowance of $6,041 at December 31, 2011 and $0 at December 31, 2010.
Prepaid Inventory
Prepaid inventory represents deposits made to foreign manufacturers for purchase orders of specific inventory.
Notes receivable
Notes receivable due from customers are unsecured loans which assist with the purchase of products. The notes range from twelve to eighteen months and bear interest at the annual rates of 4% to 9%. A corresponding reserve is established for any uncollectable interest. There was an allowance of $29,424 at December 31, 2011 and $0 at December 31, 2010.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-8 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the underlying lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.
Cost of Goods Sold
During the period ended December 31, 2010 there were cost over runs incurred in the retro fitting of trailers. These cost over runs caused the Company to have a negative gross margin. Management decided to change the focus of the business in late 2010 to designing and distribution of hydroponic equipment where favorable gross margins are achieved.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2011, and for the period of inception, March 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the period of inception, March 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010, therefore the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow positive.
However, the Company has incurred net losses for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the period of inception, March 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $2.9 million at December 31, 2011. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U. S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

4. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of finished goods for the Company’s product lines. Cost-of-goods sold are calculated using the average costing method. Inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor and cost of freight. The Company reviews its inventory periodically to determine net realizable value and considers product upgrades in its periodic review of realizability. The Company writes down inventory, if required, based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes and new product introductions and require estimates that may include uncertain elements.

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
No current or deferred income taxes were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 or the year ended December 31, 2010, as the Company’s income tax benefits were fully offset by a corresponding increase to the valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax assets.
The Company has incurred net operating losses (“NOLs”) since inception. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had NOL carry forwards of approximately $2,853,000 and $580,000, respectively, available to offset its future income tax liability. The NOLs begin to expire in 2030.
As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a deferred tax asset relating to the NOL carry forwards of approximately $1,067,000 and $220,000, respectively. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for all NOL carry forwards and all deferred tax assets. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 utilization of existing NOL carry forwards may be limited in future years based on significant ownership changes. The Company is in the process of analyzing its NOLs and has not determined if it has had any change of control issues that could limit the future use of NOL.
The following is a summary of the items that caused recorded income taxes to differ from taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax rate:
