TERRA TECH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
References in this document to “the Company”, “Terra Tech”, “we”, “us”, or “our” are intended to mean Terra Tech Corp., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We are a retail, production and cultivation company, with an emphasis on providing the highest quality of medical and adult use cannabis products. We grow organic antioxidant rich Superleaf lettuce and living herbs using classic Dutch hydroponic farming methods. We have licensed an exclusive patent on the Superleaf lettuce.
We have a presence in three states (California, Nevada and New Jersey) and currently have a concentrated cannabis interest in California and Nevada. All of our cannabis dispensaries operate under the name Blüm. Our cannabis dispensaries in California operate as MediFarm SoCal in Santa Ana, Black Oak Gallery in Oakland and Blum San Leandro in San Leandro and offer a broad selection of medical and adult-use cannabis products including flowers, concentrates and edibles.
In Nevada, we have three dispensaries, two under MediFarm in Las Vegas and one under MediFarm I in Reno, which sell quality medical and adult use cannabis products. The cannabis dispensaries in Nevada have been categorized as discontinued operations as we have entered into agreements to sell them to unaffiliated third parties.
Founded on the importance of providing consumers with healthy and natural products, Edible Garden is a wholesale seller of organic and locally grown hydroponic produce and herb products. EG Transportation supports the distribution of Edible Garden products to major grocery stores such as ShopRite, Walmart, Ahold, Aldi, Meijer, Kroger, and others throughout New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and the Midwest.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933 and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”, we consolidate any variable interest entity (“VIE”), of which we are the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not consolidate a VIE in which we have a majority ownership interest when we are not considered the primary beneficiary. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs. We evaluate our relationships with all the VIEs on an ongoing basis to reassess if we continue to be the primary beneficiary.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The December 31, 2018 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, Management concluded that the pending sales of our Nevada dispensaries and expected sale of real estate in California represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, Management determined the results of these components qualified for discontinued operations presentation in accordance with ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.”
The impact of the change in presentation was as follows during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019:

Liquidity
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $1.86 million of cash, future cash generated from operations, disposition of assets and available sources of financing. The Company believes its current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating and investing activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for at least one year from the date of the issuance of the accompanying financial statements. The Company continues to control its cash expenses as a percentage of expected revenue on an annual basis and thus may use its cash balances in the short-term to invest in revenue growth. Based on current internal projections, the Company believes it has and/or will generate sufficient cash for its operational needs. The company believes that it has sufficient capital and liquidity to fund its operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest is shown as a component of stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the share of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest is shown as a component of net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses in the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, derivative liabilities, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, litigation and other loss contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net loss, revenues or stockholders’ equity. See Note 15 for further discussion regarding discontinued operations.
Trade and other Receivables
The Company extends noninterest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business which is not collateralized. Accounts receivable are shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheets, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable.
Related Party Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued promissory notes totaling $450,000 to OneQor Technologies, Inc (“OneQor”). Derek Peterson and Mike Nahass, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, have minority ownership interests in OneQor. All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Notes Receivable
The company reviews all outstanding notes receivable for collectability as information becomes available pertaining to the Company’s inability to collect. An allowance for notes receivable is recorded for the likelihood of non-collectability. The Company accrues interest on the note receivable based upon contractual terms. There was no allowance at September 30, 2019.

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. The reserve estimates have historically been consistent with actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include advertising, insurance, and service or other contracts requiring upfront payments.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The approximate useful lives for depreciation of our property, equipment and leasehold improvements are as follows: thirty-two years for buildings; three to eight years for furniture and equipment; three to five years for computer and software; five years for vehicles and the shorter of the estimated useful life or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying balances of its property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. See “Note 7 – Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net” for further information.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for under the cost or the equity method of accounting, as appropriate. The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships or limited liability corporations, whereby the Company owns a minimum of 5% of the investee’s outstanding voting stock, under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded at the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss, and dividends paid. As investments accounted for under the cost method do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company only estimates fair value if there are identified events or changes in circumstances that could have a significant adverse effect on the investment’s fair value.
Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale represent furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements less accumulated depreciation as well as any other assets that are held for sale in conjunction with the sale of a business. The Company recorded assets held for sale in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is based on the estimated proceeds from the sale of the facility utilizing recent purchase offers, market comparables and/or data. Our estimate as to fair value is regularly reviewed and subject to changes in the commercial real estate markets and our continuing evaluation as to the facility’s acceptable sale price. The reclassification takes place when the assets are available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable. These conditions are usually met from the date on which a letter of intent or agreement to sell is ready for signing. The Company follows the guidance within ASC 205, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity” when assets held for sale represent a strategic shift in the Company’s operations and financial results.

Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
The Company reviews the goodwill allocated to each of our reporting units for possible impairment annually as of September 30 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate carrying amount may not be recoverable. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of relevant events and circumstances, and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments and assumptions. The judgment and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry, and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and share price trends, and making the assessment as to whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively and the magnitude of any such impact.
The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined based upon the assignment of our assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, to the identified reporting units. Where an acquisition benefits only one reporting unit, the Company allocates, as of the acquisition date, all goodwill for that acquisition to the reporting unit that will benefit. Where the Company has had an acquisition that benefited more than one reporting unit, The Company has assigned the goodwill to our reporting units as of the acquisition date such that the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business, or portion thereof, to be included in that reporting unit over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are assigned to the reporting unit.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and the Company must perform the second step of the impairment analysis to measure the amount of the impairment loss, by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the carrying amount of the goodwill to the resulting implied fair value of the goodwill, and recording an impairment charge for any excess. The Company completed a preliminary Step 1 assessment as of September 30, 2019 and concluded no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required, however the fair value of the Black Oak Gallery reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by less than 5%.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets continue to be subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined. The approximate useful lives for amortization of our intangible assets are as follows:
Customer relationships | 3 to 5 Years | ||
Trademarks | 2 to 8 Years | ||
Patent | 2 Years | ||
Management service agreement | 15 Years | ||
Non-compete agreements | 2 Years |
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations.” The Company allocates the total cost of the acquisition to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, the Company identifies and attributes values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding multiple, highly subjective variables, including those with respect to future cash flows, discount rates, asset lives, and the use of different valuation models, and therefore require considerable judgment. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are based, in part, on the availability of listed market prices or other transparent market data. These determinations affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments, which are also codified into ASC 606. The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Under the new standard, the Company recognizes a sale as follows:
Cannabis Dispensary, Cultivation and Production
The Company recognizes revenue from manufacturing and distribution product sales when our customers obtain control of our products. Revenue from our retail dispensaries is recorded at the time customers take possession of the product. Revenue from our retail dispensaries is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and returns, and net of taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. Upon purchase, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is assured as sales are paid for at time of purchase.
Revenue related to distribution customers is recorded when the customer is determined to have taken control of the product. This determination is based on the customer specific terms of the arrangement and gives consideration to factors including, but not limited to, whether the customer has an unconditional obligation to pay, whether a time period or event is specified in the arrangement and whether the Company can mandate the return or transfer of the products. Revenue is recorded net of taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities with collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority.
Herbs and Produce Products
The Company recognizes revenue from products grown in its greenhouses upon delivery of the product to the customer at which time control passes to the customer. Upon transfer of control, the Company has no further performance obligations.
For sales for which the Company uses an outside grower, the Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The evaluation considers whether the Company takes control of the products of the outside grower, whether it has the ability to direct the outside grower to provide the product to the customer on its behalf or whether it combines products from the outside grower with its own goods and services to provide the products to the customer.
In evaluating whether it takes control of the products of the outside grower, the Company considers whether it has primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the products, whether the Company is subject to inventory risk related to the products and whether it has the ability to set the selling prices for the products.
Disaggregation of Revenue
See “Note 16 – Segment Information” for revenues disaggregated by type as required by ASC Topic 606. The company believes this level of disaggregation sufficiently depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
15 |
Table of Contents |
Contract Balances
Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC Topic 606.
Contract Estimates and Judgments
The Company’s revenues accounted for under ASC Topic 606, generally, do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts are included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
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 that 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.
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.
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 to measure any eligible financial instruments.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of employee share-based awards and warrants. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and unvested restricted common stock. As the Company had net losses for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive, resulting in basic and diluted net loss per share being equal.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
FASB ASU No. 2018-07 (Topic 718), “Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” – Issued in June 2018, ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
16 |
Table of Contents |
FASB ASU 2017-04 (Topic 350), “Intangibles - Goodwill and Others” – Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those periods. As early adoption is permitted, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2019. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
FASB ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), “Leases” – Issued in February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, “Leases,” as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a two-method approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The accounting applied by the lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under the existing lease standard. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. In transitioning to ASC 842, we elected to use the practical expedient package available to us and did not elect to use hindsight. These elections have been applied consistently to all of our leases. On January 1, 2019 we recorded a right-of-use asset of $9.91 million (included in “other assets”) and a lease liability of $9.91 million (included in “other liabilities”) (see “Note 13 – Leases”).
NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions that are insured by either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Association up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations and it maintains significant cash on hand at certain of its locations. The Company has not historically experienced any material loss from carrying cash on hand. The amount in excess of insured limitations was $0.46 million and $4.83 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
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. There were no customers that comprised more than 10.0% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The Company sources cannabis products for retail, cultivation and production from various vendors. However, as a result of regulations in the State of California, the Company’s California retail, cultivation and production operations must use vendors licensed by the State. As a result, the Company is dependent upon the licensed vendors in California to supply products. If the Company is unable to enter into a relationship with sufficient members of properly licensed vendors, the Company’s sales may be impacted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not have any concentration of vendors for inventory purchases. However, this may change depending on the number of vendors who receive appropriate licenses to operate in the State of California.
NOTE 4 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
NuLeaf, Inc.
On October 26, 2017, the Company entered into operating agreements with NuLeaf, Inc. and formed NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation, LLC and NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC (collectively “NuLeaf”) to build and operate cultivation and production facilities for our IVXX brand of cannabis products in Nevada. The agreements were subject to approval by the State of Nevada, the City of Sparks and the City of Reno in Nevada. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company remitted to NuLeaf an upfront investment of $4.50 million in the form of convertible loans bearing an interest rate of 6% per annum. On June 28, 2018, the Company received approval from the State of Nevada. The remaining required approvals from local authorities were received in July 2018. As a result, the notes receivable balance was converted into a 50% ownership interest in NuLeaf. The investment in NuLeaf was recorded at cost and accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2018.

Table of Contents |
In February 2019, we amended and restated the NuLeaf agreements and obtained control of the operations of NuLeaf. The Company has determined these entities are variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary by reference to the power and benefits criterion under ASC 810, “Consolidation.” The provisions within the amended agreement grant the Company the power to manage and make decisions that affect the operation of these entities. As the primary beneficiary of NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation, LLC and NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC, the Company began consolidating the accounts and operations of these entities as of March 1, 2019. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. On March 1, 2019, we remeasured our equity method investment in NuLeaf to fair value and consolidated the results of NuLeaf in our consolidated financial statements and report its results in our cannabis segment.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to reduce the estimated fair value of our equity method investment in NuLeaf, which resulted in a $11.85 million decrease to intangible assets, a reduction of $1.58 million to goodwill and a $5.20 million reduction to net income. The measurement period is expected to be closed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Year to date revenue and net loss attributed to NuLeaf is $2.85 million and $1.56 million, respectively. Additional pro forma information was omitted as amounts are not material.
The aggregate carrying values of Sparks Cultivation, LLC and NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC assets and liabilities, after elimination of any intercompany transactions and balances, in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

2018 Master Securities Purchase and Convertible Promissory Notes Agreement
In March 2018, the Company entered into the 2018 Master Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company sells to the accredited investor 7.5% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes in eight tranches of $5.00 million, for a total of $40.00 million.
For each note issued under the 2018 Master Securities Purchase Agreement, the principal and interest due and owed under the note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) the original conversion price as defined in each note issuance or (ii) 87% of the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock in the thirteen (13) trading days prior to the conversion date (“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for (i) stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, or similar events and (ii) full ratchet anti-dilution protection. Upon certain events of default, the conversion price will automatically become 70% of the average of the three (3) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock in the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date for so long as such event of default remains in effect.
In addition, at any time that (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the prior ten (10) consecutive trading days is $10.50 or more and (ii) the average daily trading value of the Common Stock is greater than $2.50 million for the prior ten (10) consecutive trading days, then the Company may demand, upon one (1) day’s notice, that the holder convert the notes at the Conversion Price.
The Company may prepay in cash any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest by, upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the holder, paying an amount equal to (i) 110% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is within 90 days of the issuance date of the notes; (ii) 115% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is between 91 days and 180 days of the issuance date of the notes; or (iii) 125% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is after 180 days of the issuance date of the notes.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $0.36 on September 30, 2019, and the exercise price of options, multiplied by the number of options. As of September 30, 2019, there was $8.06 million total unrecognized stock-based compensation. Such costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.75 years.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to calculate stock-based compensation for issuances during the three months ended September 30, 2019:

The Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Hence, the Company uses the “simplified method” described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 to estimate the expected term of share option grants.
The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for the Company’s common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options.
The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of the Company stock-based compensation.
The Company estimates the forfeiture rate at the time of grant and revisions, if necessary, were estimated based on management’s expectation through industry knowledge and historical data.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense

NOTE 13 – LEASES
A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Most operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions. The lease term used to calculate the ROU asset includes any renewal options or lease termination that the Company expects to exercise.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. ROU assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.
The Company occupies office facilities under lease agreements that expire at various dates. In addition, office, production and transportation equipment is leased under agreements that expire at various dates. The Company does not have any significant finance leases. Total operating lease costs were $1.53 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Short-term lease costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were not material.
Cash paid for amounts included in operating lease liabilities was $1.36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, short term lease liabilities of $0.87 million are included in “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses” on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
California Operating Licenses
Effective January 1, 2018, the State of California allowed for adult-use cannabis sales. California’s cannabis licensing system is being implemented in two phases. First, beginning on January 1, 2018, the State of California began issuing temporary licenses. Temporary licenses were initially issued for 90 days, but were extended for the entirety of 2018 with final extensions of temporary licenses expiring in spring/summer of 2019. Our temporary licenses were set to expire in the Summer of 2019, however, prior to expiration we were issued provisional licenses for all of our operations which include 3 operating dispensaries (retail), one distribution and one indoor cultivation. All licenses are valid for both adult (recreational) and medical activity. In addition in the spring of 2019 improvements and upgrades were completed on the indoor cultivation facility located on the W. Grand Campus and final approval for all up upgrades, including Fire prevention system were approved by the City. Provisional licenses are valid for a one year time period and require provisional licensees to be on Metrc – California’s track and trace systems. All of our licensed operations are fully Metrc compliant and adhere to operating requirements of state and local officials. The state Bureau of Cannabis Control and California Department of Food and Agriculture continue their respective reviews of our annual license submissions. We remain in regular contact in an effort to provide whatever additional to review prior to the State of California completing its review of our annual license applications. The Company’s prior licenses obtained from the local jurisdictions in which it operated have been continued by such jurisdictions and are necessary to obtain state licensing. Although the Company believes it will receive the necessary licenses from the State of California to conduct its business in a timely fashion, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to do so and any failure to do so may have a negative effect on its business and results of operations.

Table of Contents |
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, Management concluded that the pending sales of our Nevada dispensaries and expected sale of real estate in California represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, Management determined the results of these components qualified for discontinued operations presentation in accordance with ASC 205, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity.”
Operating results for the discontinued operations were comprised of the following:

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
During 2018, the Company acquired additional real property and determined that a previously insignificant operating segment “Real Estate and Construction” is now significant and is a reportable segment requiring disclosure in accordance with ASC 280. Prior period information below has been revised to conform to current period presentation. We are now organized into three reportable segments:
| · | Herbs and Produce Products – Includes herbs and leafy greens that are grown using classic Dutch hydroponic farming methods. |
| · | Cannabis Dispensary, Cultivation and Production – Includes cannabis-focused retail, cultivation and production. |
| · | Real Estate and Construction – Includes building ownership where cannabis dispensary and/or cultivation operations are currently in development. |
During 2019, the San Leandro retail dispensary commenced operations and the associated operating segment is now included in the “Cannabis Dispensary, Cultivation and Production” reportable segment. Additionally, during 2019, a real estate operating segment held assets that were reclassified as “held for sale,” as they met the requirements for such classification under ASC 360. As the assets are no longer utilized for cannabis retail operations, the related operating segment is now included in the “Real Estate and Construction” reportable segment. Prior period information has been revised to conform to the current period presentation. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables.
Total asset amounts at September 30, 2019 and 2018 exclude intercompany receivable balances eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 17 – LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
The Company is the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. The Company reviews any such legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for the Company’s financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company determined that there were no matters that required an accrual as of September 30, 2019.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company settled its lawsuits and all outstanding claims with members of the Vande Vrede family and entities controlled by them. As part of the settlement, Terra Tech purchased all shares of common and preferred stock owned by the Vande Vrede family. See”Note 10 - Equity” for additional information regarding the treasury shares.
On September 15, 2017, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, IVXX, Inc., we filed a lawsuit against Callow Distribution, LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by David Weidenbach, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange. In the Complaint for Breach of Contract, Conversion, and Injunctive Relief, we requested that the Court award to us, among other things, damages according to proof, attorneys’ fees, and costs of suit. On December 3, 2018, we appeared for trial and provided sufficient evidence to the Court to prove our case in full to its satisfaction. The judge ruled from the bench in our favor. We then prepared the form of Judgment, which the Court entered on December 10, 2018, and made publicly available on December 13, 2018.
The judgment in our favor and against Callow Distribution, LLC is in the amount of $0.95 million. We intend to pursue our post-judgment collection rights vigorously, although there is no assurance as to the timing of collection and the amount that we will collect.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 21, 2019, Terra Tech Corp. (the “Company”) issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1.50 million to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”). This 7.5% Senior Convertible Promissory Note is one of a series of duly authorized and validly issued convertible promissory notes of Terra Tech Corp. under the 2018 Master Securities Purchase and Convertible Promissory Notes Agreement. It matures April 21, 2021 and bears an interest rate of 7.5% per annum. The conversion price is $4.50, subject to adjustment.
On October 24, 2019, senior convertible promissory notes and accrued interest in the amount of $150,000 and $5,781, respectively, were converted into 686,050 shares of common stock.
On October 30, 2019, the Company and OneQor Technologies, Inc. (“OneQor”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into OneQor, with OneQor continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). An entity controlled by Derek Peterson and Mike Nahass, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Terra Tech, respectively, is a minority shareholder of OneQor. The Merger is expected to close by early December 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of OneQor capital stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of Terra Tech common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio described below. Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), upon the closing of the Merger, on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of Terra Tech common stock to be issued in the Merger, current Terra Tech shareholders will own approximately 45% of the combined company and current OneQor shareholders and certain holders of OneQor Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) will own approximately 55% of the combined company. In addition, in connection with the terms of certain other OneQor SAFEs, such SAFEs will convert into shares of Terra Tech common stock sixty-one days after the Merger and the issuance of such shares of Terra Tech common stock will effect both current Terra Tech shareholders and current OneQor investors. For purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio, the number of outstanding shares of Terra Tech Common Stock immediately before the Merger takes into account the conversion of any outstanding convertible securities into Terra Tech common stock and the dilutive effect of the shares of Terra Tech common stock underlying options outstanding as of the closing date of the Merger based on certain assumptions.
On November 4, 2019, senior convertible promissory notes and accrued interest in the amount of $150,000 and $1,375, respectively, were converted into 680,463 shares of common stock.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in other filings we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We caution you that the risks, uncertainties, and other factors set forth in our periodic filings with the SEC may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits, or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected.

Our Business
We are a retail, production and cultivation company, with an emphasis on providing the highest quality of medical and adult use cannabis products. The Company grows organic antioxidant rich Superleaf rich lettuce and living herbs using classic Dutch hydroponic farming methods. We have licensed an exclusive patent on the Superleaf lettuce.
We have a presence in three states (California, Nevada and New Jersey) and currently have cannabis operations in California and Nevada. Our cannabis dispensaries operate under the name Blüm. Our cannabis dispensaries in California operate as MediFarm SoCal in Santa Ana, Black Oak Gallery in Oakland and Blum San Leandro in San Leandro and offer a broad selection of medical and adult-use cannabis products including flowers, concentrates and edibles. In Nevada, we have three dispensaries, two under MediFarm in Las Vegas and one under MediFarm I in Reno, which sell quality medical and adult use cannabis products. The cannabis dispensaries in Nevada have been categorized as discontinued operations as we have entered into agreements to sell them to unaffiliated third parties.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we generated revenues of $7.61 million, compared to $3.29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.31 million or 131.0 percent. The increase was primarily due to increased Cannabis revenues due to our Dispensary year-over-year growth of $2.75 million or 152.5 percent due to an additional store opening in early 2019, increased customer traffic, improvements in store operational standards and enhanced product assortment. Also driving the increase over prior year is the development of cultivation and production operations, which accounted for $1.27 million of the increase.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.85 million, compared to a gross profit of $1.09 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $2.76 million or 253.2 percent. Our gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 50.6 percent, compared to 33.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross margin percentage was attributable to the Cannabis segment, which had $4.06 million and $0.69 million gross profit, or 55.4 percent and 32.8 percent gross margin, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Cannabis segment gross margin improvements were due to an increase of higher margin private label sales, lower cost of goods from vendor negotiations and price optimization on top selling items.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $11.00 million, compared to $9.51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1.49 million or 15.7 percent. The increase was primarily due to (i) a $0.67 million increase in depreciation expense, (ii) a $0.62 million increase in amortization expense , and (iii) a $0.41 million increase in legal expense related to litigation activity, slightly offset by $0.20 million of various expense decreases.
Operating Income (Loss)
We realized an operating loss of $13.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to an operating loss of $8.86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase in loss of approximately $4.49 million or 50.6 percent.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.77 million. This was down by $0.94 million or 34.5 percent compared to $2.71 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Net Loss Attributable to Terra Tech Corp.
We incurred a net loss of $14.34 million, or $0.13 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $11.63 million, or $0.16 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we generated revenues of $17.79 million, compared to $13.48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.31 million or 32.0 percent. The increase was primarily due to the cannabis segment’s year-over-year growth, which was the result of an additional store opened in early 2019, increased customer traffic, improvements in store operational standards and enhanced product assortment. Also contributing to the Cannabis segment’s increase over prior year is the development of cultivation and production operations.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $8.89 million, compared to a gross profit of $4.56 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.33 million or 95.0% percent. Our gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 50.0 percent, compared to 33.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross margin percentage was attributable to the cannabis segment, which had $9.23 million and $3.57 million gross profit, or 54.9 percent and 38.8 percent gross margin, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The cannabis segment gross margin improvements were due to an increase of private label sales, lower cost of goods from vendor negotiations and price optimization on our top selling items.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $31.65 million, compared to $26.00 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $5.64 million or 21.7 percent. The increase was primarily due to (i) a $1.68 million increase in depreciation expense, (ii) a $1.67 million increase in stock options expense related to employee bonuses, (iii) a $0.76 million increase in marketing/advertising expense, (iv) a $0.73 million increase in legal expense, and (iv) a $0.41 million increase in employee compensation.
Operating Income (Loss)
We realized an operating loss of $22.55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to an operating loss of $21.89 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase in loss of approximately $0.66 million or 3.0 percent.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $8.34 million, compared to other expense of $11.06 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a favorable change of $2.78 million or 25.1 percent. This improvement was primarily attributable to a $2.64 million decrease in Interest Expense.
Net Loss Attributable to Terra Tech Corp.
We incurred a net loss of $29.55 million, or $0.29 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $33.78 million, or $0.49 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Management will continue its efforts to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. We will continue to invest in further expanding our operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting our name and our products. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have a quasi-fixed character, management expects that, as revenue increases, those expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will significantly decrease. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues in succeeding quarters.
DISCLOSURE ABOUT OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section discusses our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have never reported net income. We incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $172.31 million and $142.75 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, we had working capital of ($3.51) million, including $1.86 million of cash compared to working capital of $4.61 million, including $7.19 million of cash as of December 31, 2018. Current assets were approximately 0.75 times current liabilities as of September 30, 2019, compared to approximately 1.67 times current liabilities as of December 31, 2018.
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of preferred stock, common stock, and debt securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.
We anticipate requiring additional capital for the commercial development of our facilities. The Hegenberger facility will require approximately $0.60 million in capital to complete. Construction for the completion of the packaging facility for Edible Garden will require approximately $0.80 million.
We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the third quarter of 2020. However, we continue to evaluate various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. In March 2018 we entered into a $40.0 million 2018 Master Security Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has received $35.9 million under this agreement. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that it will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.44 million, compared to $14.41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $2.97 million, or approximately 20.6 percent. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to primarily to the timing on A/R receipts and vendor payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.18 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $16.89 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $16.71 million, or 98.9 percent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of expenditures related to the construction of the San Leandro and Oakland facilities whereas the 2018 cash used was related to (i) the construction of the San Leandro and Oakland facilities; (ii) capital expenditures at Edible Garden in Belvidere, NJ; and (iii) the acquisition of land in Santa Ana, CA.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $6.29 million, compared to $29.30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $23.01 million, or 78.5 percent. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to: $14.05 million less proceeds from the issuance of debt, $6.25 million for acquisition of non-controlling interest, $2.00 million in payment of debt principal and $0.80 million in purchase of treasury stock.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These fluctuations can affect revenues and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities.
Commodity Price Risk
Our most significant market risk relates to fluctuations in marijuana prices. Management expects the prices of these commodities to remain volatile and unpredictable. As these prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flow will also decline or rise significantly.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2019, we had no outstanding variable-rate debt and $17.50 million of principal fixed-rate debt.
Credit Risk
Our exposure to non-payment or non-performance by our customers and counterparties presents a credit risk. Generally, non-payment or non-performance results from a customer’s or counterparty’s inability to satisfy obligations. We may also be exposed to credit risk due to the concentration of our customers in the medical marijuana industry, as our customers may be similarly affected by changes in regulatory and legal conditions in the states and municipalities in which we operate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2019. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019.
We regularly assesses the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and enhances its controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. No changes in internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The failure to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls could result in material weaknesses in our financial reporting, such as errors in our financial statements and in the accompanying footnote disclosures that could require restatements. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and disclosure, which could negatively impact our stock price.
We do not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. See Note 17 – Litigation and Claims for further information about legal activity.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the risk factor noted below. Please refer to that section for disclosures regarding the risk and uncertainties relating to our business.
There is uncertainty related to the regulation of vaporization products and certain other consumption accessories. Increased regulatory compliance burdens could have a material adverse impact on our business development efforts and our operations.
There is uncertainty regarding whether and in what circumstances federal, state, or local regulatory authorities will seek to develop and enforce regulations relative to vaporizer hardware and accessories that can be used to vaporize cannabis and/or tobacco. Further, it remains to be seen whether current or future regulations relating to tobacco vaporization products would also apply to cannabis vaporization products and related consumption accessories.
There has been increasing activity on the federal, state, and local levels with respect to scrutiny of vaporizer products. Federal, state, and local governmental bodies across the United States have indicated that vaporization products and certain other consumption accessories may become subject to new laws and regulations at the state and local levels. For example, in September 2019, the Trump Administration announced a plan to ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes nationwide. At the state level, over 25 states have implemented statewide regulations that prohibit vaping in public places. In January 2015, the California Department of Health declared electronic cigarettes and certain other vaporizer products a health threat that should be strictly regulated like tobacco products, and in September 2019, California’s governor issued an executive order on vaping, focused on enforcement and disclosure. Many states, provinces, and some cities have passed laws restricting the sale of electronic cigarettes and certain other tobacco vaporizer products. Some cities have also implemented more restrictive measures than their state counterparts, such as San Francisco, which in June 2018, approved a new ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products, including vaping liquids and menthol cigarettes.
The application of any new laws or regulations that may be adopted in the future, at a federal, state, or local level, directly or indirectly implicating cannabis vaporization products or consumption accessories could limit our ability to sell such products, result in additional compliance expenses, and require us to change our labeling and methods of distribution, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The scientific community has not yet extensively studied the long-term health effects of the use of vaporizer products.
Cannabis vaporizers and related products were recently developed and therefore the scientific community has not had a sufficient period of time to study the long-term health effects of their use. If the scientific community were to determine conclusively that use of any or all of these products poses long-term health risks, market demand for these products and their use could materially decline. Such a determination could also lead to litigation and significant regulation. Loss of demand for our product, product liability claims, and increased regulation stemming from unfavorable scientific studies on these products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities.
We face an inherent risk of product liability. For example, we could be sued if any product we sell allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts.
Furthermore, vaporizer products and other similar consumption product manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and sellers have recently become subject to litigation. While we have not been a party to any product liability litigation and do not ourselves manufacture any products, several lawsuits have been brought against other manufacturers and sellers of smokeless products for injuries to health allegedly caused by use of smokeless products. We may be subject to similar claims in the future relating to vaporizer products that we sell. We may also be named as a defendant in product liability litigation against one of our suppliers by association, including in class action lawsuits. In addition, we may see increasing litigation over our vaporizer products or the regulation of our products as the regulatory regimes surrounding these products develop. If such lawsuits are filed against us in the future, we could incur substantial costs, including costs to defend the cases and possible damages awards.
If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit sales of our products. Even a successful defense of these hypothetical future cases would require significant financial and management resources. If we are unable to successfully defend these hypothetical future cases, we could face at least the following potential consequences:
· | decreased demand for our products; | |
· | injury to our reputation; | |
· | costs to defend the related litigation; | |
· | a diversion of management’s time and our resources; | |
· | substantial monetary awards to users of our products; | |
· | product recalls or withdrawals; | |
· | loss of revenue; and | |
· | a decline in our stock price. |
In addition, while we continue to take what we believe are appropriate precautions, we may be unable to avoid significant liability if any product liability lawsuit is brought against us.
