PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background
urban-gro, Inc. (“we,” “us,”
“our,” the “Company,” or “urban-gro”) was originally formed on March 20, 2014, as a Colorado limited liability
company. On March 10, 2017, we converted to a Colorado corporation and exchanged shares of our common stock for every member’s interest
issued and outstanding on the date of conversion. On October 29, 2020, we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. On December 31, 2020,
we effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split with respect to our common stock. On February 12, 2021, we completed an uplisting to the Nasdaq
Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “UGRO.” On February 9, 2026, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock
split with respect to our common stock. All information in this Report gives effect to these reverse stock splits, including restating
prior period reported amounts.
On February 17, 2026, the
Company completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Flash Sports and Media, Inc. (“Flash”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 17, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, UGRO Merger Sub,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Flash. As a result of the Merger,
Merger Sub merged with and into Flash, with Flash surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the closing of the
Merger, the Company began operating as a diversified sports, media, and experiential marketing platform under the Flash Sports & Media
brand. The Company intends to change its name to Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc. or a similar name, subject to receipt of stockholder
approval, which the Company intends to seek as soon as reasonably practicable.
Overview
Following the completion of the Merger, the Company
is a diversified sports, media, and experiential marketing platform focused on the creation, production, and monetization of live events,
original content, and branded fan experiences. The Company operates across multiple sports and entertainment verticals, leveraging proprietary
intellectual property, strategic partnerships, and high-impact experiential activations to engage global audiences and deliver measurable
value for brands, sponsors, and media partners. The Company’s platform integrates content creation, event execution, and media distribution
to build scalable businesses within the global sports and entertainment ecosystem. Flash Sports & Media maintains corporate offices
in the United Arab Emirates (headquarters), India, the United States, South Africa, and Singapore.
Through its subsidiaries,
the Company holds exclusive commercial and media rights to professional cricket leagues, produces international-standard broadcast content,
manages franchise operations, and monetizes sponsorship, ticketing, and digital media opportunities across multiple geographies. The Company’s
core operating subsidiary, Innovative Production Group FZ LLC (“IPG”), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Fujairah, United
Arab Emirates, is a global sports marketing, league management, ground sponsorship, and production company with more than 30 years of
collective cricket industry experience and deep expertise in international cricket properties and sports media. IPG is headquartered in

Flash Business and Revenue Streams
The Company derives revenue from multiple streams,
primarily related to the production, commercialization, and management of professional cricket leagues and international cricket events.
The Company’s significant revenue streams are described below:
Production Fee Income.
Production income represents revenue earned from providing end-to-end live broadcast production services for cricket events, including
international bilateral series and T20 tournaments. Services include pre-event planning, live camera operations (utilizing a minimum of
26 cameras per match, including Hawk-Eye DRS, super slow-motion, spider cam, drone, and 6 DOF robotic “Buggy Cam” technology),
broadcasting infrastructure, technical staffing, satellite uplink and SNG distribution, and post-production. For the year ended December
31, 2024, production fee income represented approximately 42% of IPG’s total revenue, or approximately $5.1 million.
Franchise Fees. The
Company enters into agreements with third-party franchisees that operate individual teams in the LPL. The LPL currently features five
franchise teams, each of which pays franchise fees in exchange for team ownership and naming rights, jersey sponsorship rights, merchandising
and local sponsorship rights, stadium activation rights, and additional commercial and promotional rights including dugout branding, mascot
rights, post-match ceremony participation, big screen branding, and perimeter board branding. Each team features a squad of up to 16 players,
including a maximum of six international players from ICC Full/Associate Member Countries. For the year ended December 31, 2024, franchise
fees represented approximately 29% of IPG’s total revenue, or approximately $3.5 million.
Sponsorship Fees. The
Company generates sponsorship income through agreements with corporate sponsors who receive brand visibility across LPL events, including
on-field signage, jersey placements, digital promotions, and title/associate sponsorship designations. Sponsorship categories include
Title, Powered By, Present By, League Partner, Associate, and Umpire Partner tiers, as well as official brand partners and on-ground stall
activations. IPG has secured sponsorships from a range of major global and regional brands, including Dream11, My11Circle, Daraz, Coca-Cola,
Dettol, Red Bull, Pepsi, LG, Nippon Paint, Valvoline, Dialog, AIA, and others. For the year ended December 31, 2024, sponsorship fees
represented approximately 20% of IPG’s total revenue, or approximately $2.4 million.
Broadcast and Streaming
Rights. The Company earns licensing fees by granting third-party broadcasters and digital platforms the right to air or stream live
cricket content. The Company’s international media rights cover television, radio, digital, pay television, betting, gaming, in-flight,
mobile, and internet rights on an exclusive basis throughout the world excluding Sri Lanka, where terrestrial media rights are granted
on an exclusive basis. For the year ended December 31, 2024, broadcast rights represented approximately 5% of IPG’s total revenue,
or approximately $608,000.
Betting Data Rights.
The Company licenses exclusive rights to collect and distribute real-time match data for betting purposes, including delivery of live,
ball-by-ball statistical feeds for LPL tournaments, subject to compliance with applicable laws including ICC guidelines and regulations
and the laws of the countries in which the broadcast takes place.
Other Revenue. The
Company also earns revenue from team jersey sponsorship sales, ticketing income from the sale of match tickets to spectators attending
live events, franchisee box catering, ground branding and on-ground sales at match venues, and reimbursement income. For the year ended
December 31, 2024, other revenue collectively represented approximately 4% of IPG’s total revenue.

The Lanka Premier League
The Lanka Premier League is
a professional franchise T20 cricket league established in 2020 in Sri Lanka, bringing together top Sri Lankan cricketers and leading
international stars. The LPL is intellectual property owned by Sri Lanka Cricket; IPG holds the exclusive global commercial and media
rights (excluding certain Sri Lankan domestic rights reserved by SLC) under the Master Event Rights Agreement dated October 14, 2020 (the
“Event Rights Agreement”). Matches are played in the Twenty20 format by five franchise teams named after Sri Lankan cities:
the Colombo Strikers, Dambulla Sixers, Jaffna Kings, Galle Marvels, and Kandy Falcons. Each team features a squad of up to 100 local and
50 international players selected through an annual player auction process. As of the completion of the 2024 season, there have been five
editions of the tournament.
Since its inaugural season
in 2020, the LPL has demonstrated consistent growth in audience reach and sponsorship media valuation. Season 1 (2020) achieved a TV audience
of approximately 155 million, a digital audience of approximately 218 million, and a sponsorship media valuation of approximately $54.5
million. Season 2 (2021) grew to a TV audience of approximately 168 million, a digital audience of approximately 228 million, and a sponsorship
media valuation of approximately $82.5 million. Season 3 (2022) reached a TV audience of approximately 212 million, a digital audience
of approximately 261 million, and a sponsorship media valuation of approximately $114.7 million. Season 4 (2023) expanded to a TV audience
of approximately 315 million, a digital audience of approximately 282 million, and a sponsorship media valuation of approximately $149.5
million. The most recent completed season, Season 5 (2024), achieved a TV audience of approximately 380 million, a digital audience of
approximately 293 million, and a total sponsorship media valuation of approximately $176.5 million, representing year-over-year growth
of approximately 18%. The cumulative sponsorship media valuation across all five LPL seasons from 2020 through 2024 was approximately
$510.2 million. For Season 5 (2024), the sponsorship media valuation was comprised of approximately $100.9 million attributable to TV,
$37.8 million to OTT/digital platforms, $26.2 million to social media, and $11.6 million to press coverage. LPL content has been distributed
through major global broadcasters including Star Sports, Sony LIV, Sony Pictures Networks, A Sports HD, Kayo, Willow Live, Fox Sports,
T Sports, Ten Cricket, beIN Sports, Free Sports, SportsMax, and Sony Six, among others.
The sixth edition of the LPL
was staged from December 1 to December 23, 2025, across three premier venues in Sri Lanka — Colombo, Dambulla, and Kandy —
featuring 24 matches over 24 days with five competing franchises. All match venues are International Cricket stadia owned by SLC.
Under the Event Rights Agreement,
IPG holds four categories of exclusive rights: (A) Team Franchise / Team Ownership Rights — the right to select, engage, and manage
franchise team owners for the LPL; (B) International Media Rights and Terrestrial Media Rights — exclusive rights to license television,
radio, digital, pay television, betting, gaming, in-flight, mobile, and internet broadcasting of LPL matches globally; (C) Ground Sponsorship
Rights — rights to manage and sell in-venue branding, including LED boards, boundary signage, stump branding, presentation ceremonies,
and related activations; and (D) AV Production Rights — the right and obligation to produce all live and highlights content for
LPL matches to internationally recognized ICC standards.
The Event Rights Agreement
has an initial term of five annual tournaments commencing in 2020, with automatic one-year renewals subject to the timely payment of the
Event Rights Fee or provision of a bank guarantee to SLC. The Company’s rights must be secured annually through the payment of an
Event Rights Fee or the furnishing of an Irrevocable Unconditional Bank Guarantee by March 15 of each year. Failure to make timely payment
or furnish the required guarantee could result in termination of the Company’s rights for that year. IPG also holds a first right
of refusal to extend the agreement for an additional five-year term (through 2029), subject to mutually agreed terms.
In consideration for the Event
Rights, IPG pays SLC a minimum guaranteed annual Event Rights Fee. The minimum guaranteed fee for the launch year was USD 1,500,000 for
a 13-match format and USD 1,925,000 for a 23-match format. The Event Rights Fee escalates at approximately 10.5% to 11% per year for years
two through five. For the addition of teams beyond the initial five teams, an additional fee of USD 300,000 per team is payable. Additionally,
SLC is entitled to a revenue share of 10% of ground sponsorship and international media rights revenue during the first two years of the
agreement, increasing to 20% for years three through five. SLC also receives USD 20,000 per year in consideration for terrestrial media
rights. The Event Rights Fee is payable net of all taxes, withholdings, and bank charges.
3
SLC is responsible for all
costs related to the Match Control Team including per diems, catering for match officials and staff, cricket balls, venue costs, security,
janitorial and marketing communications costs, certain administrative expenses, and a component of the prize money. SLC releases to the
Event Rights Partner the entirety of the ticket sales revenue generated from all LPL matches during the term of the agreement. The Event
Rights Partner bears all costs and responsibility for printing, marketing, and the sale of tickets, subject to SLC’s prior approval
of ticket design. SLC reserves the President’s and Minister’s Boxes, a VIP Box, 100 grand stand tickets, and 50 complimentary
tickets on each tier, at no cost to SLC.
Geographic Expansion
In addition to the LPL in
Sri Lanka, IPG holds or has secured exclusive league management and commercial rights for several additional cricket properties in various
stages of development. IPG holds exclusive 10-year rights to the Singapore T10 League, awarded by the Singapore Cricket Association, which
encompasses TV and digital broadcasting rights, production rights, franchise sales rights, and league management rights for what is expected
to be the first T10 cricket league featuring both men’s and women’s competitions, with six teams in the initial year expanding
to eight from the third year. IPG holds exclusive 10-year rights to the Malaysian T20 League under a long-term agreement with the Malaysian
Cricket Association on an exclusive basis, covering linear TV, digital, operations, marketing, and commercial rights. IPG holds exclusive
20-year rights to the Zimbabwe T20 Cricket League under an agreement with Zimbabwe Cricket, encompassing full league management, broadcasting,
sponsorship, and franchise rights. IPG also holds exclusive 20-year rights to Kuwait’s T20 League, T10 League, and Legends League
under an agreement with Kuwait Cricket. These expansion initiatives are in various stages of development and are expected to extend the
Company’s footprint across high-growth emerging cricket markets. There can be no assurance that any of these expansion initiatives
will be completed on the terms anticipated, or at all, or that they will generate the revenue or returns expected. For the year ended
December 31, 2024, approximately 82% of IPG’s total revenue was generated from customers based in Sri Lanka, with the remaining
18% derived from Zimbabwe.
Technology and Live Production Capabilities
The Company operates at the
intersection of cutting-edge broadcast engineering and experiential digital entertainment. Our infrastructure enables seamless content
delivery across television, live streaming, and in-person activations from international cricket stadia and other venues. For purposes
of ensuring that the production quality conforms to internationally recognized standards in keeping with ICC regulations as well as ensuring
the brand image of SLC and of the LPL is duly maintained and built, the Company and its sub-licensees are required to meet minimum audio-visual
production standards as set out in the Event Rights Agreement.
Key production capabilities
include: live broadcast engineering utilizing 26 cameras per match (including 6 DOF robotic dolly Buggy Cam, Hawk-Eye DRS with minimum
specifications, super slow-motion cameras (Sony HDC-4300 4K / LDX86 or similar), ultra-slow-motion cameras (NAC or similar), stump cameras
with Zing LED technology, spider cam, drone, and standard Sony HDC 2500/3500 / HDK97 cameras); Grass Valley Kayak HD 3.5 M/E vision mixing;
EVS XT3 8/12-channel replay systems; Canon/Fujinon Super Wide lens arrays; satellite uplink and SNG distribution capabilities; and Hotspot
technology for Decision Review System at the discretion of SLC. The Company is required to commit to broadcast/stream the feed live in
full, covering every ball of each game, and to deliver a Clean Feed in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio, fully edited, completed,
titled and synchronized as to dialogue, music and effects.
The Company also maintains
studio and event production capabilities for the production of multiplatform content, branded formats, and digital programming, including
comprehensive studio shows aired before, during, and after each day’s play. IPG’s broadcast technology platform includes Hawkeye
DRS, spider cameras, drone cameras, buggy cameras, 3D HD cameras, and AR/VR graphics capabilities. IPG partners with leading cricket graphics
solution providers, including aegraphics.tv and wTVision, which maintain long-standing working relationships with many of the world’s
leading broadcasters, production houses, and sports governing bodies. IPG’s production crew includes experienced and world-renowned
directors, skilled producers, cameramen, EVS operators, and broadcast engineers. Recent live broadcast productions (2023–2025) include
the Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka, the West Indies Tour of Sri Lanka, the India Tour of Sri Lanka, LPL Seasons 4 and 5, the Legends Cricket
Trophy, the Afghanistan Tour of Sri Lanka, the Zimbabwe Tour of Sri Lanka, ACC Men’s Under 19 Asia Cup, and the Ireland Tour of
Zimbabwe, among others. These capabilities have also been applied to production for international cricket bilateral series across multiple
continents since 2015.

Growth Strategy — Planned Verticals and
Strategic Initiatives
Beyond the core IPG cricket
operations, the Company is evaluating and pursuing a number of strategic initiatives to expand the Flash Sports & Media platform into
adjacent verticals. These initiatives are in early stages and are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, regulatory
approvals, and the availability of sufficient capital. There can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will be consummated on
the terms described below, or at all.
Our Competition
The Company operates in a
competitive landscape that includes other sports media, event management, and rights-holding companies. In the T20 cricket league space,
the Company competes for viewership, sponsorship, and franchise investment with established leagues including the Indian Premier League
(IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), and SA20, among others. In the broader sports
media and experiential marketing space, we compete with global sports marketing agencies, broadcast production houses, and digital entertainment
companies. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. We believe
our competitive advantages include our exclusive long-term contractual rights to the LPL and multiple other emerging cricket leagues,
our vertically integrated model spanning rights ownership, production, franchise management, sponsorship sales, and media distribution,
our track record of more than 5,000 hours of live broadcast production and established relationships with numerous national cricket boards,
our demonstrated ability to grow the LPL’s sponsorship media valuation from approximately $54.5 million in Season 1 to approximately
$176.5 million in Season 5, our global footprint with offices in six countries and operational experience across 14 countries, and our
multi-market expansion strategy targeting high-growth emerging cricket markets.
Our Clients
The Company’s clients
and commercial counterparties include franchise team owners, corporate sponsors, broadcasters and digital streaming platforms, sports
governing bodies, and media distribution agencies. IPG maintains working relationships with leading sports media agencies, including Sunset+Vine,
ITW, and IMG Reliance, which facilitate the distribution and monetization of IPG’s broadcast and media content globally. In 2023,
sales to four customers individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s total revenue. Collectively, these customers represented approximately
53% of total revenue. The Company’s reliance on these major customers presents a concentration risk. The loss of any of these customers
or a significant reduction in their orders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance. The Company
continues to focus on efforts to diversify its customer base and geographic reach to mitigate such risks.
Intellectual Property
The Company’s intellectual
property consists primarily of its contractual rights under the Event Rights Agreement with SLC, which grants exclusive commercial exploitation
rights for the LPL. All intellectual property related to the LPL brand, including without limitation the LPL name, logo, trade names,
trademarks, and marks (collectively, “SLC’s IP”), remains at all times vested in, and the sole and exclusive property
of, SLC absolutely. At SLC’s request, the Event Rights Partner shall forthwith discontinue use of and return or destroy any material
containing any of SLC’s IP. Nothing contained in the Event Rights Agreement shall have the effect of assigning or otherwise transferring
any SLC intellectual property rights or marks to the Event Rights Partner or third party. All proprietary rights and intellectual property
rights in respect of the Clean Feed and Highlights produced by the Event Rights Partner and/or its licensees for purposes of AV Production
Rights vest absolutely with SLC.
5
The Company also holds proprietary
intellectual property related to its production processes, technical know-how, and operational methodologies for live broadcast production
of cricket and other sporting events. The Company may hold trademarks related to the Flash Sports & Media brand and associated sub-brands,
which are in the process of being formalized.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2025, the
Company has approximately 5 employees, representing the core values and objectives of the Company.
Our employees are our most important assets, and they set the foundation
for our ability to achieve our strategic objectives. Our employees play a central role in the success of our long-term strategy. Our values
direct the management of our company and are built on the foundation that our people and the way we treat one another promote inclusion,
creativity, innovation, and productivity, which drives the Company’s success. We believe we offer fair, competitive compensation
and benefits that support our employees’ overall well-being and foster their growth and development.

Legacy Operations — Controlled Environment
Agriculture
Prior to the Merger, the Company historically operated as an integrated
professional services and design-build firm offering value-added architectural, engineering, and construction management solutions to
the Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”), industrial, healthcare, and other commercial sectors. After making the decision
to exit its core business sectors in the third quarter of 2025 due to changing market conditions and the Company’s inability to
raise significant funds due to its filing status and compliance with the Nasdaq, the Company began the process of selling assets, reducing
its workforce, and preparing for the Merger. The wind-down of legacy operations proceeded as follows: In mid-July 2025, the Board of Directors
commenced discussions regarding the disposition of the Services business, and on July 30, 2025 the Board voted to proceed with the sale.
On August 14, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell substantially all of the assets of 2WR of Georgia,
Inc. On August 27, 2025, the transaction was consummated as a sale of the stock of 2WR of Georgia, Inc. On August 21, 2025, Gemini Finance
Corp. foreclosed on the assets of UG Construction, Inc. (“UG Construction”) in connection with a default under the terms of
its loan to UG Construction. On September 4, 2025, Gemini acquired the assets of UG Construction in connection with an Article 9 sale,
effectively shutting down the Construction business; all Construction assets were written off as of September 30, 2025. On November 5,
2025, the Company sold certain customer lists of 2WR of Colorado, Inc. to the same counterparty that acquired 2WR of Georgia, Inc. for
$143,000 in cash. The Company ceased operations of UG Engineering during the third/fourth quarter of 2025, effectively discontinuing all
remaining Services operations. Due to cash flow issues, the Company laid off all of its sales team, including those targeting equipment
sales, during the third quarter of 2025, resulting in virtually no equipment revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. During the fourth
quarter of 2025, the Company wound down its remaining services businesses and furloughed those employees. The Services business was presented
as discontinued operations in the Company’s Form 10-Q for September 30, 2025, and prior period balances were reclassified for comparative
purposes in accordance with ASC 205-20.
As of December 31, 2025, the
legacy CEA business had been substantially wound down. The Company’s equipment reselling division, which historically operated as
a value-added reseller of equipment systems to the CEA sector working with a select group of manufacturers and vendor partners, generated
virtually no revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 following the layoff of the entire sales team during the third quarter. The historical
financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 presented elsewhere in this Report reflect the legacy urban-gro operations,
as the Merger closed subsequent to the period end on February 17, 2026. For an overview of additional developments in the business since
December 31, 2025, see “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
— Subsequent Events.”
Binding Letter of Intent and Merger with Flash
Sports & Media, Inc.
On October 14, 2025, we entered
into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Flash Sports & Media, Inc. (“Flash”), led by Chief Executive
Officer Suren Ajjarapu, regarding a proposed transaction pursuant to which the parties intended to merge Flash with and into a newly formed
wholly-owned subsidiary of us, which would then merge with and into a second wholly-owned subsidiary of us (collectively, the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the LOI, Flash was valued at $180 million for purposes of the transaction. The parties agreed, subject to satisfaction of
certain conditions, to negotiate and execute a definitive merger agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in the LOI. Flash paid
us a cash deposit of $200,000 within fifteen days following the date of the LOI.
7
In connection with the Merger,
the stockholders of Flash would receive (i) unregistered shares of our common stock equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of common
stock as of immediately prior to the Merger, and (ii) unregistered shares of a newly-created series of non-voting preferred stock (the
“Preferred Stock”) that would be economically equivalent to common stock and would automatically convert into common stock upon
receipt of approval by our stockholders. The LOI contemplated that the former stockholders of Flash would own approximately 90% of the
resulting company following the Merger, assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock. Upon closing of the Merger, we would change our
name to Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc. or a similar name, subject to stockholder approval. The Merger was completed on February
17, 2026. For further details on the terms of the Merger, see “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations — Subsequent Events.”
Recent Developments
Gemini Loan Agreement Amendment and Default
On December 13, 2023, our
wholly-owned subsidiary UG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“UG Construction”) entered into
(i) an interest only asset based revolving loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Gemini”)
pursuant to which Gemini extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000, to be used to assist
UG Construction and us with cash management, and (ii) a Secured Promissory Note - Revolving issued by UG Construction to Gemini (the “Promissory
Note”). Pursuant to the Promissory Note, each draw was due and payable on or before 180 days after such draw is funded to UG Construction,
subject to a mandatory pre-payment upon UG Construction’s receipt of payment for any invoice previously submitted and approved for
financing by Gemini.
On March 18, 2025, UG Construction
entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note and waiver with Gemini (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to
the Amendment, Gemini waived any potential or perceived events of default arising under certain circumstances, which events did not constitute
specified events of default under the Promissory Note or the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amendment,
the Promissory Note was amended to provide that (i) the term during which Gemini may consider advances under the Loan Agreement has been
extended to January 1, 2026, and (ii) the interest applied on the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note will accrue interest
at an annual rate of 12%, and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to Gemini on the first business day of each month for the
prior month. The Amendment also amended the Loan Agreement to require monthly reporting of certain accounts receivable and to include
a covenant that such accounts receivable equal or exceed 125% of the sum of the total amount drawn down under the Promissory Note, plus
outstanding interest, as of the applicable measurement date. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, we issued to Gemini, as
an amendment fee, 150,000 shares of our common stock, or 6,000 shares after giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split.
8
On July 31, 2025, Gemini issued
a notice of default to UG Construction claiming that UG Construction was in default under the line of credit due to a failure to
submit receivables calculations and failing to maintain sufficient eligible accounts and to forward accounts receivable. The notice indicated
that the remaining outstanding amount due under the line of credit of approximately $1.76 million was immediately due and payable with
default of 1% per week accruing from the June 16, 2025 date of default claimed by Gemini, and that Gemini intended to pursue legal
action if full payment was not received by August 8, 2025.
On August 21, 2025, we received
a notification from Gemini stating that Gemini would proceed with a foreclosure and private sale of substantially all of the assets of
UG Construction in an Article 9 sale process, pursuant to Section 9601 et seq. of the California Commercial Code (the “Asset Sale”).
The Asset Sale occurred on September 4, 2025, at which Gemini acquired the assets constituting the collateral under the line of credit
for $450,000. This Gemini foreclosure event (UG Construction assets) is separate
from the August 27, 2025 Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement relating to 2WR of Georgia, Inc.; both events are components of the Company’s
broader wind-down of legacy CEA operations and are each discussed in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations. The foreclosure was a non-cash
transaction: the assets were derecognized at their carrying value, a loss on foreclosure was recognized in the consolidated statements
of operations, and the transaction is reflected as a non-cash adjustment in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
On August 29, 2025, Gemini
commenced a lawsuit captioned Gemini Finance Corp. v. UG Construction, Inc. et al. , case number 25CV2259 W SBC, in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of California, which lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) included us and certain of our officers
as defendants and pursuant to which Gemini claimed it was owed $1,486,189 (the “Claim Amount”).
On September 26, 2025, we
entered into a Settlement and Mutual General Release (the “Gemini Settlement Agreement”) with Gemini. Pursuant to the terms
of the Gemini Settlement Agreement, among other things, we agreed to file a joint motion requesting an expedited fairness hearing under
Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which motion was filed on September 30,
2025. Following such fairness hearing, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions and requirements of Section 3(a)(10)
of the Securities Act, we agreed to issue to Gemini shares of our common stock that, upon sale by Gemini, would result in net proceeds
to Gemini equal to the Claim Amount, provided that Gemini shall at no time be issued shares if it would beneficially own more than 4.99%
of our common stock, and the aggregate number of shares issued to Gemini may not exceed 19.99% of our outstanding common stock as of immediately
prior to the signing of the Gemini Settlement Agreement to the extent required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Additionally, Gemini agreed
to use its best efforts to not sell common stock exceeding 10% of our daily volume on any given trading day. Upon the issuance of the
last tranche of shares under the Gemini Settlement Agreement, Gemini will dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice. The Gemini Settlement Agreement
also included a customary mutual release of claims by the parties. The fairness hearing occurred on October 14, 2025.
Agile Term Loan
On June 26, 2025, we and certain
of our subsidiaries entered into a business loan and security agreement (the “Agile Loan Agreement”) with Agile Capital Funding,
LLC and Agile Lending LLC (together, “Agile”).
Pursuant to the Agile Loan
Agreement, Agile extended to us a term loan of $1,050,000.00 (the “Term Loan”) to be used to fund our general business requirements.
The Agile Loan Agreement is for a term of twenty-eight weeks from its effective date and includes an administrative agent fee of $50,000.00
to be remitted to Agile, which was added to the amount of the loan. We could make a full prepayment or partial prepayment of the Term
Loan, however, upon the prepayment of any principal amount, we would be obligated to pay a premium payment of principal, which would be
equal to the aggregate and actual amount of interest that would be paid through the maturity date. The Agile Loan Agreement contains standard
events of default and representations and warranties by us and Agile including a mandatory prepayment, and an additional five (5%) percent
interest rate following the occurrence of an event of default. The term loan is evidenced by a secured promissory note issued by us to
Agile. Pursuant to the Agile Loan Agreement, upon an event of default, Agile will receive a security interest in certain of our assets,
subject to certain exceptions.

Grow Hill Default
On October 1, 2024, we entered
into an asset-based term Loan Agreement with Grow Hill, LLC (“Grow Hill”) pursuant to which Grow Hill extended to us a secured
loan of $2,100,000 with an origination fee of $100,000, which was added to the amount of the loan. The loan is evidenced by a Secured
Promissory Note issued by us to Grow Hill. Grow Hill received a security interest in certain of our assets pursuant to a security agreement
between us and Grow Hill (the “Security Agreement”), which does not include any assets of our subsidiaries.
On October 14, 2025, we received service of process for a lawsuit filed
by Grow Hill against us in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (Case No. 2025CV33546) alleging breach of contract
and fraud. Pursuant to the complaint, Grow Hill stated that we were in default under the Secured Promissory Note due to a failure to timely
make payments, and elected to accelerate all amounts due under the Secured Promissory Note, including a default fee equal to 1% of the
outstanding principal amount. We are currently investigating available options to resolve the complaint and intend to vigorously defend
the allegation of fraud.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in default under the Grow
Hill Secured Promissory Note. Monthly payments of $87,500 plus interest ceased after the April 2025 payment. The outstanding balance was
approximately $1,487,500 at December 31, 2025. Subsequent to year-end, the Company is in discussions for the Grow Hill debt to be acquired
by a third party.
The Grow Hill loan agreement contained a covenant requiring the Company
to maintain a Receivable Ratio of at least 2.00:1.00, calculated monthly. The Company failed to maintain the required ratio, which constituted
an event of default.
J Brrothers Settlement
On August 8, 2025, we entered
into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with J Brrothers LLC (“J Brrothers”) and
Herb-a-More LLC relating to a dispute arising from amounts due for certain heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. Pursuant
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, among other things, we issued a promissory note to J Brrothers with an original principal amount
of $395,556 and agreed to issue 150,000 unregistered shares of our common stock, or 6,000
shares after giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split, to J Brrothers. The note accrues simple interest at an annual rate
of 12% and has a maturity date of March 18, 2026. The note must be repaid in monthly installments over a period of eight months, with
the first seven payments being $50,000 per month and the final monthly payment being $64,047. Any remaining principal and accrued but
unpaid interest will become due and payable on the maturity date, and the note may be prepaid without penalty. The note includes customary
representations and warranties, customary events of default and a 17% default interest rate.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had made only the initial partial
payment of $25,000 on August 27, 2025. The required $50,000 monthly payments for September through December 2025 were not made. The outstanding
balance was approximately $374,512 at December 31, 2025, inclusive of accrued interest. The note matured on March 18, 2026.
2WR of Georgia Sale
On August 27, 2025, certain
of our subsidiaries entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “2WR Purchase Agreement”) with 2WR Holdco, LLC
(the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the 2WR Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of 2WR of
Georgia, Inc. and certain assets of our other subsidiaries relating to those entities’ business of providing commercial, industrial
and municipal architectural and construction administration services for projects not involving CEA. The purchase price paid by the Buyer
consisted of $2.0 million in cash, offset by a previous deposit of $500,000 and by any assumed indebtedness.
Nasdaq Deficiencies
On August 20, 2024, we received
a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because we had not yet filed our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Timely
Filing Requirement”). On November 21, 2024, we received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because we had not yet filed our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024. We continued to not be in compliance with the Timely Filing Requirement.
On February 18, 2025, we filed each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024
and an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and on February 19, 2025 we filed an amendment
to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which amendments included restated financial statements for
the periods covered therein. As a result of these filings, on February 24, 2025, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notified
us that we had regained compliance with the Timely Filing Requirement.
On February 24, 2025, we received
a deficiency letter from Nasdaq notifying us that (i) for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had
closed at a price of below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital
Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), and (ii) because our stockholder’s equity was below
$2.5 million as reported on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, we no longer met the minimum
stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Rule 5550(b)(1), requiring a minimum
stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
10
On April 16, 2025, we received
a notice from Nasdaq stating that because we had not yet filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024
(the “Form 10-K”), we were no longer in compliance the Timely Filing Requirement. On May 21, 2025, we received a notice from
Nasdaq stating that because we had not yet filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 or our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we continued to be out of compliance with the Timely Filing Requirement.
On August 18, 2025, we received
a determination letter from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had determined that we did not file the Form 10-K and the Form
10-Q by August 15, 2025, the date required for the delinquent filings by an exception previously received from Nasdaq staff. The letter
stated that, as a result, unless we timely requested an appeal, the trading of our common stock would be suspended at the opening of business
on August 27, 2025 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which would remove our common stock securities from listing and registration
on Nasdaq. The letter also stated that we were not in compliance the Bid Price Rule and the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
We timely requested an appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).
On October 14, 2025, we attended
a hearing before the Panel in connection with the determination letter. On October 30, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq notifying
us that the Panel had determined to grant our request to continue our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, conditioned on us regaining
compliance with the Timely Filing Requirement and the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement on or before December 31, 2025 and regaining
compliance with the Bid Price Rule on or before January 28, 2026. During the exception period, we are required to provide prompt notification
to the Panel of any significant event that may affect our compliance with Nasdaq requirements. Any documentation evidencing our compliance
will be subject to review by the Panel, which may, in its discretion, request additional information before determining whether we have
regained compliance.
On November 18, 2025, we received
a determination letter from Nasdaq stating that because we did not timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 2025, the resulting filing delinquency would be an additional basis for delisting our securities pursuant to
the Timely Filing Requirement. The letter notified us that the Panel would consider the matter in their decision regarding our continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and requested that we present our views with respect to the additional deficiency in writing by
November 25, 2025. We made a submission to the Panel by the requested date.
On January 6, 2026, the Company
received a determination letter (the “January 6, 2026 Determination”) from Nasdaq stating that because the Company did not
hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months from the Company’s prior fiscal year end as required by Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5620(a), the resulting non-compliance would be an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities. The January 6, 2026
Determination notified the Company that the Panel would consider the matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and requested that the Company present its views with respect to the additional deficiency in writing
by January 9, 2026. The Company made a submission to the Panel by the requested date and requested an additional extension to comply with
the Bid Price Rule, the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, and the Timely Filing Requirement.
On January 13, 2026, the Panel
notified us that it had granted a further extension to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Annual Meeting
Requirement, and the Timely Filing Requirement on or before February 17, 2026 and with the Bid Price Rule on or before February 24, 2026.
On January 30, 2026, we held our 2025 Annual Meeting. On February 9, 2026, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split. On February 17,
2026, we completed the Merger and filed all delinquent reports. On March 4, 2026, Nasdaq confirmed we had regained compliance and placed
us on a one-year Discretionary Panel Monitor under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A). Although we regained compliance, there can be no assurance
that we will maintain compliance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. If we fail to meet the conditions set forth in our compliance
plan or if Nasdaq delists our securities from trading for any other reason, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
●
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
●
reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;
●
a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our ordinary shares;
●
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
●
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included
in this Report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition,
or results of operations could suffer materially. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose
all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
We have a limited operating history under
the Flash Sports & Media platform and may not be able to successfully execute our business plan.
The Company completed the
Merger with Flash on February 17, 2026. Flash was incorporated on August 7, 2023 and had not generated any revenue prior to the Merger.
While IPG, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Flash and therefore of the Company, has generated revenue from cricket-related operations
since 2020, the combined entity has a limited operating history as a publicly traded sports and media company. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to successfully integrate the operations of Flash, IPG, and the Company, or that we will achieve profitability. Our
prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies in the early stages of development in rapidly
evolving markets.
We are substantially dependent on a single
contractual relationship with Sri Lanka Cricket for a significant majority of our revenue.
Substantially all of IPG’s
revenue is derived from the commercialization of rights granted under the Master Event Rights Agreement with SLC for the Lanka Premier
League. The loss, non-renewal, or material modification of this agreement would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. The Event Rights Agreement requires annual payment of an Event Rights Fee or provision of a bank
guarantee by March 15 of each year; failure to make timely payment could result in termination of the Company’s rights for that
year. Although the agreement provides for automatic one-year renewals, IPG’s rights must be secured annually, and there can be no
assurance that the agreement will be renewed on favorable terms, or at all.
We have a going concern qualification and
a history of net losses and accumulated deficits.
Both IPG and Flash have received
going concern qualifications from their respective auditors. As of December 31, 2024, IPG had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$4.6 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.9 million. Flash had an accumulated deficit of $500,000 as of December
31, 2024 and had never generated revenue. The Company (legacy urban-gro) had an accumulated deficit of approximately $120.6 million and
a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $40.9 million as of December 31, 2025. There can be no assurance that the combined entity
will achieve or sustain profitability.
Our revenue is concentrated among a limited
number of customers and geographies.
For the year ended December
31, 2024, approximately 82% of IPG’s total revenue was generated from customers based in Sri Lanka, with the remaining 18% derived
from Zimbabwe. In 2023, sales to four customers individually exceeded 10% of IPG’s total revenue, collectively representing approximately
53% of total revenue. The loss of any significant customer or a significant reduction in business from Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe could have
a material adverse effect on our financial performance. The Company continues to focus on efforts to diversify its customer base to mitigate
such risks.
12
Our business is dependent on the continued
popularity and growth of cricket, particularly T20 cricket, in our target markets.
Our revenue is substantially
derived from the commercialization of T20 cricket league rights. Any decline in the popularity of cricket or T20 cricket in Sri Lanka,
or in international markets where we distribute media content, could reduce demand for media rights, sponsorships, franchise ownership,
and ticketing, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with
international operations.
The Company conducts operations
in the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and other international markets, and is subject to risks inherent in international operations,
including political and economic instability, currency fluctuation risk, regulatory uncertainty, foreign tax regimes (including the recently
enacted UAE Corporate Tax), sanctions and trade restrictions, cultural and legal differences, and challenges in enforcing contractual
rights across jurisdictions. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results.
We depend on key personnel, including the
founder and chairman of IPG.
The Company’s success
depends in significant part on the continued services and leadership of key individuals, including Anil Mohan Sankhdhar, the founder and
chairman of IPG, who has been instrumental in building the Company’s relationships with SLC, franchise owners, sponsors, and broadcast
partners, and Bradley Nattrass, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of any of these individuals’
services could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We do not currently maintain key-person life insurance on
any of our executives.
Force majeure events, including pandemics,
natural disasters, terrorism, and political unrest, could disrupt our tournament operations.
The LPL and our other cricket
events are live, in-person sporting events that are subject to disruption or cancellation due to force majeure events. Under the Event
Rights Agreement, the full Event Rights Fee remains payable by the Event Rights Partner to SLC even if the whole or any part of the Tournament
is curtailed, cancelled, or abandoned due to any Force Majeure event, after the date of commencement of the Tournament. Force Majeure
events include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, riot, strike, civil commotion, terrorism, pandemics, epidemics, fire, earthquake,
storm, flood, tsunami, explosion, and acts of Government. Any such disruption could materially and adversely affect our revenue, reputation,
and operations.
Our expansion into new markets and new business
verticals involves significant risks and uncertainties.
We have announced expansion
plans for T20 cricket league operations in Malaysia, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and the United Arab Emirates. We are also pursuing potential
strategic combinations and partnerships in the esports and entertainment sectors, including a potential combination with Infinity Esports
& Gaming, a Latin American esports organization that operates gaming centers across multiple countries and holds branded intellectual
properties, and the potential development of Dune Bridge Capital, an investment and strategic capital deployment vertical focused on film,
television, sports, and digital media. Each of these initiatives involves significant execution risk, including the need to negotiate
and execute definitive agreements, secure regulatory approvals, recruit qualified local personnel, obtain adequate financing, and build
local infrastructure. As of the date of this Report, no definitive agreements have been entered into with respect to the esports or entertainment
verticals. There can be no assurance that any of these expansion or diversification initiatives will be completed on the terms anticipated,
or at all, or that they will generate the revenue or returns expected.
13
We face significant competition in the sports
media and entertainment industry.
The sports media and entertainment
industry is highly competitive. We compete for viewership, sponsorship dollars, franchise investment, media rights fees, and talent with
larger, better-capitalized companies and established cricket leagues, including the IPL, BBL, CPL, PSL, and SA20. Many of our competitors
have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to compete effectively.
Risks Related to the Merger and Integration
The Merger may not achieve its intended
benefits, and integration of the combined businesses involves significant risks.
The success of the Merger
depends on, among other things, our ability to successfully integrate the operations, technologies, and personnel of Flash, IPG, and the
legacy urban-gro business, achieve anticipated revenue growth, realize cost synergies, and retain key customers, partners, and employees.
Integration may be more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected, and there can be no assurance that we will realize the expected
benefits of the Merger.
Following the Merger, former Flash
stockholders are expected to own a minimum of 90% of the combined company, resulting in significant dilution to existing
stockholders.
Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, Flash stockholders received shares of UGRO common stock equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares immediately prior to certain
prior issuances, as well as shares of newly created non-voting convertible preferred stock that, upon stockholder approval of the conversion,
would result in former Flash stockholders owning approximately 90% of the combined company on a fully-converted basis. This represents
substantial dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company changed its independent auditor
in connection with the Merger, which may increase the risk of accounting errors or restatements.
On March 03, 2026, the Company dismissed Sadler, Gibb & Associates,
LLC as its independent registered public accounting firm and appointed Suri and Co., Chartered Accountants of Chennai, India to
audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The transition to a new auditor during a period of
significant business transformation increases the risk of accounting errors, delays in financial reporting, or the need for restatements.
Risks Related to Nasdaq Listing and Capital
Structure
We have a history of non-compliance with
Nasdaq listing standards and may be unable to maintain our Nasdaq listing.
The Company has experienced
multiple instances of non-compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, including the minimum bid price requirement, timely filing of periodic
reports, minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, and annual meeting requirement. While the Company regained compliance with these
requirements as of March 2026, Nasdaq has placed the Company on a one-year Discretionary Panel Monitor under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A).
Any future non-compliance could result in delisting, which would materially and adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our
common stock.
We have limited liquidity and may require
additional financing to fund our operations.
As of December 31, 2025, the
Company had cash of approximately $10,000 and negative working capital of approximately $42.7 million. Our ability to continue operations
is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient revenue and/or obtain financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing
will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required
to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
14
We have significant outstanding liabilities
and legal proceedings that could adversely affect our financial condition.
The Company has significant
accounts payable, contract liabilities, notes payable, and accrued expenses. Additionally, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings,
including lawsuits by creditors, equipment suppliers, and former contractors. Adverse outcomes in any of these proceedings could materially
affect our financial position and results of operations.
Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery,
and sports integrity laws and regulations.
The Company and its subsidiaries,
sub-licensees, franchise holders, and team owners are required to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in all jurisdictions
in which we operate, as well as ICC anti-corruption codes. Any violation of these laws or codes could result in criminal penalties, fines,
suspension, or termination of our Event Rights, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Changes in tax laws or regulations, including
the recently enacted UAE Corporate Tax, could increase our tax burden.
IPG is subject to the UAE
Corporate Tax Law effective January 1, 2024, which imposes a 9% tax on taxable income exceeding the exemption threshold. Changes in applicable
tax laws or their interpretation, or the enactment of new taxes in jurisdictions where we operate, could increase our effective tax rate
and adversely affect our financial results.
The Event Rights Agreement is governed by
Sri Lankan law and disputes are subject to international arbitration, which may be costly and time-consuming.
The Event Rights Agreement
is governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, and disputes are subject to arbitration in Colombo under the Rules of the International Chamber
of Commerce. The number of arbitrators shall be three, and each party shall be entitled to select one arbitrator each, with the third
selected jointly to act as Chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal. Enforcing contractual rights through international arbitration may be more
costly, time-consuming, and uncertain than litigation in U.S. courts, and arbitral awards may be difficult to enforce in other jurisdictions.
We had negative cash flow from operations
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
We had negative cash flow
from operations of $0.1 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. To the extent that we have
negative cash flow from operations in future periods, we may need to allocate a portion of our cash reserves to fund such negative cash
flow. We may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. We may not be able to generate
positive cash flow from our operations and additional capital or other types of financing may not be available when needed or on terms
favorable to us.
15
We may continue to incur losses in the near
future, which may impact our ability to implement our business strategy and adversely affect our financial condition.
While we are focused significantly
on controlling our operating expenses by managing variable expenses, employee count, and marketing activities in order to become cash
flow positive, these measures may adversely affect our future operating results if we are unable to support the business effectively.
In turn, this would have a negative impact on our financial condition and potentially our share price.
We may not become profitable
or generate sufficient profits from operations in the future. If our revenues do not continue to grow or our gross profits deteriorate
substantially, we are likely to continue to experience losses in future periods. Collectively, this may impact our ability to implement
our business strategy and adversely affect our financial condition. This potentially would have a negative impact on our share price.
We may be forced to litigate to defend our
intellectual property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties against urban-gro relating to intellectual property rights.
We may be forced to litigate
to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of other parties’
proprietary rights. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business.
The existence and/or outcome of any such litigation could harm our business.
We may not be able to successfully identify,
consummate or integrate acquisitions or to successfully manage the impacts of such transactions on our operations.
Part of our business strategy
includes pursuing synergistic acquisitions. We have expanded, and plan to continue to expand, our business by making strategic acquisitions
and regularly seeking suitable acquisition targets to enhance our growth. Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions
involve a number of risks, including: (i) the potential disruption of our ongoing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from
the ongoing oversight of our existing business activities; (iii) incurring indebtedness; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings
of those transactions not being realized fully, or at all, or taking longer to realize than anticipated; (v) an increase in the scope
and complexity of our operations; and (vi) the loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets.
The pursuit of acquisitions
may pose certain risks to us. We may not be able to identify acquisition candidates that fit our criteria for growth and profitability.
Even if we are able to identify such candidates, we may not be able to acquire them on terms or financing satisfactory to us. We will
incur expenses and dedicate attention and resources associated with the review of acquisition opportunities, whether or not we consummate
such acquisitions.
16
Additionally, even if we are
able to acquire suitable targets on agreeable terms, we may not be able to successfully integrate their operations with ours. Achieving
the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will depend in significant part upon whether we integrate such acquired businesses in an efficient
and effective manner. We may not be able to achieve the anticipated operating and cost synergies or long-term strategic benefits of our
acquisitions within the anticipated timing or at all. The benefits from any acquisition will be offset by the costs incurred in integrating
the businesses and operations. We may also assume liabilities in connection with acquisitions to which we would not otherwise be exposed.
An inability to realize any or all of the anticipated synergies or other benefits of an acquisition as well as any delays that may be
encountered in the integration process, which may delay the timing of such synergies or other benefits, could have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq
could result in the delisting of our Common Stock.
Although we regained compliance
with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in March 2026, we are currently subject to a one-year Discretionary Panel Monitor.
If we fail to maintain compliance during the monitoring period, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would
likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair stockholders’ ability to sell or purchase our common
stock when they wish to do so, as well as adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing
in the future.
There can be no assurance
that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Timely Filing Requirement, or the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement,
or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. If we fail to meet the conditions set forth in
our compliance plan or if Nasdaq delists our securities from trading for any other reason, we could face significant material adverse
consequences, including:
●
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
●
reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;
●
a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our ordinary shares;
●
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
●
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
17
Our stock price could be extremely volatile.
As a result, shareholders may not be able to re-sell their shares at or above the price they paid for them.
The market price of our common
stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Volatility in the market price of our common stock, as well as
general economic, market or political conditions, may prevent shareholders from being able to sell their shares at or above the price
they paid for their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. Shareholders may experience a decrease,
which could be substantial, in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, and
shareholders could lose part or all of their investment. The price of our common stock has been, and could continue to be, subject to
wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including those described elsewhere in this Report and others such as:
●
our ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability and positive cash flow;
●
competition in our industry and our ability to compete effectively;
●
our ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop key personnel and qualified employees;
●
reliance on significant clients and third-party suppliers;
●
our ability to successfully identify and complete acquisitions and effectively integrate those acquisitions into our operations;
●
our actual or anticipated operating and financial results, including how those results vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;
●
changes in financial estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to us or other industry participants;
●
developments in our business or operations or our industry sectors generally;
●
any future offerings by us of our common stock;
●
any coordinated trading activities or large derivative positions in our common stock, for example, a “short squeeze” (a short squeeze occurs when a number of investors take a short position in a stock and have to buy the borrowed securities to close out the position at a time that other short sellers of the same security also want to close out their positions, resulting in a surge in stock prices, i.e., demand is greater than supply for the stock sold short);
●
legislative or regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business and operations specifically;
●
the operating and stock price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us;
●
announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions, restructurings, dispositions, financings and other material events by us or our competitors;
18
●
actions by our current shareholders, including future sales of common shares by existing shareholders, including our directors and executive officers;
●
proposed or final regulatory changes or developments;
●
anticipated or pending regulatory investigations, proceedings, or litigation that may involve or affect us; and
●
the other factors described under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Report.
In response to any one or
more of these events, the market price of shares of our common stock could decrease significantly. In the past, securities class action
litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could
result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources and could also require us to make substantial payments
to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.
Shareholders may be diluted by future issuances
of preferred stock or additional common stock in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise; future sales of such
shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.
Our certificate of incorporation
authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock for
the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our Board in its sole discretion. We could issue a significant number
of shares of common stock in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could dilute our existing
shareholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price
for the shares of our common stock.
The future issuance of shares
of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of shares of our common stock, either by diluting
the voting power of our common stock if the preferred stock votes together with the common stock as a single class, or by giving the holders
of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote, even if the action were approved by
the holders of our shares of our common stock.
The future issuance of shares
of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred
stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example,
investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred
stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price,
causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain
our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay any
dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made
at the discretion of our Board taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition,
current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitations on our ability to pay dividends under our
loan agreements or otherwise. As a result, if our Board does not declare and pay dividends, the capital appreciation in the price of our
common stock, if any, will be our shareholders only source of gain on an investment in our common stock, and shareholders may have to
sell some or all of their common stock to generate cash flow from their investment.
19
If securities or industry analysts do not
publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common stock, its trading price
and volume could decline.
We expect the trading market
for our common stock to be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business
or our industry. If no additional securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may
be negatively impacted. If one or more of our covering analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly,
we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline and our common
stock to be less liquid. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable
research about our business, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over that may not be in the best interests of our shareholders.
Provisions of our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our shareholders
may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.
In addition, our certificate
of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences determined from
time to time by our Board. None of our preferred shares are currently issued or outstanding. Our Board may, without shareholder approval,
issue preferred shares with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or
other rights of the holders of our common stock.
The requirements of being a public company
may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified
Board members.
As a public company, we are
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities
rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations involves significant legal and financial compliance costs, may make
some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are
no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we
file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among
other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to
maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard,
significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business
concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future or engage
outside consultants, which will increase our costs and expenses.
20
In addition, changing laws,
regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing
legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject
to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve
over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance
matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply
with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion
of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new
laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their
application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.
As a result of disclosure
of information in this Report and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition are highly visible, which
may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business
and operating results could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these
claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business
and operating results.
We are subject to ongoing regulatory burdens
resulting from our public listing.
We continually work with our
legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems
to manage our obligations as a public company listed on Nasdaq. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure
controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and
other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, these and other measures that we might take may not be
sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company listed on Nasdaq on a timely basis. In addition, compliance with
reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on Nasdaq creates additional costs for us and requires the time
and attention of management. The additional costs that we incur, the timing of such costs and the impact that management’s attention
to these matters may adversely affect our business and operating results.
We have identified material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not
be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence
in our financial statements, which would harm the trading price of our common shares.
Companies that file reports
with the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404. SOX 404 requires
management to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under
the Exchange Act to contain a report from management assessing the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Separately, under SOX 404, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, public companies
that are large accelerated filers or accelerated filers must include in their annual reports on Form 10-K an attestation report of their
regular auditors attesting to and reporting on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Non-accelerated
filers and smaller reporting companies, like us, are not required to include an attestation report of their auditors in annual reports.
A report of our management
is included under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures.” We are a smaller reporting company and, consequently, are not required
to include an attestation report of our auditor in our annual report. However, if and when we become subject to the auditor attestation
requirements under SOX 404, we can provide no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors.
21
During its evaluation of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, management identified material weaknesses as described
under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures.” We are undertaking remedial measures, which measures will take time to implement
and test, to address these material weaknesses. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material
weaknesses identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the
future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved
controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in
our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation
reports. Each of the foregoing results could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline
in our share price.
General Risk Factors
We are highly dependent on our management
team, and the loss of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our ability to implement our strategies, impair our relationships
with clients and adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our insurance may not adequately cover our
operating risk.
We have insurance to protect
our assets, operations and employees. While we believe our insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which we are exposed and
is adequate and customary in our current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not
be available for the risks and hazards to which we are exposed. In addition, such insurance may not be adequate to cover our liabilities
or may not be generally available in the future or, if available, premiums may not be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur substantial
liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur such liability at
a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
We may be exposed to currency fluctuations.
Although our revenues and
expenses are expected to be predominantly denominated in United States dollars, we may be exposed to currency exchange fluctuations. Recent
events in the global financial markets have been coupled with increased volatility in the currency markets. Fluctuations in the exchange
rate between the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro, and the currency of other regions in which we may operate may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We may, in the future, establish a program to hedge a portion
of our foreign currency exposure with the objective of minimizing the impact of adverse foreign currency exchange movements. However,
even if we develop a hedging program, there can be no assurance that it will effectively mitigate currency risks.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective
assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.
U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety
of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, trade promotions,
and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these
rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change
our reported results.
Our ability to maintain our reputation is
critical to the success of our business, and the failure to do so may materially adversely affect our business and the value of our common
stock.
Our reputation is a valuable
component of our business. Threats to our reputation can come from many sources, including adverse sentiment about our industry generally,
unethical practices, employee misconduct, failure to deliver minimum standards of service or quality, compliance deficiencies, and questionable
or fraudulent activities of our clients. Negative publicity regarding our business, employees, or clients, with or without merit, may
result in the loss of clients, investors and employees, costly litigation, a decline in revenues and increased governmental regulation.
If our reputation is negatively affected, by the actions of our employees or otherwise, our business and, therefore, our operating results
and the value of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity Risks
We rely on information technology
systems and networks to process, transmit, and store electronic information in our operations, including our proprietary business information
and that of our customers, suppliers, and employees. We use various information technology systems and networks to manage our operations
and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. We also collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property,
proprietary business information, and personal information of our customers, suppliers, and employees, in our data centers and on our
networks. The secure operation of these information technology systems and networks, and the processing and maintenance of this information,
are critical to our business operations and strategy.
Despite our security measures,
our information technology systems and networks may be subject to damage, disruption, or unauthorized access due to a variety of factors,
including cyberattacks by computer hackers, computer viruses, ransomware, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, physical or electronic
break-ins, employee error or malfeasance, power outages, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events. Any such damage, disruption,
or unauthorized access could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, or
stolen. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that
protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, disruption to our operations, damage to our reputation, loss of customers,
potential harm to our competitive position, and additional costs to remediate the issue.
Cybersecurity Practices
We have implemented various
measures to manage our risk of information technology systems and networks damage, disruption, or unauthorized access, including employee
training, monitoring of our systems and networks, maintenance of backup and protective systems, and use of modern endpoint detection
and response tools which are integrated into urban-gro’s risk management systems and processes. We also operate in a fully cloud-based
environment, which enhances our scalability, flexibility, and resilience and utilize 3rd parties to perform early internal and external
vulnerability assessment and risk identification. We have established extensive backup and recovery procedures to ensure the continuity
of our operations in a cyber incident. We also maintain cyber liability insurance coverage as part of our comprehensive risk management
program. However, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent, detect, or mitigate the impact of such damage, disruption, or unauthorized
access. Moreover, the regulatory environment related to information security, data protection, and privacy is increasingly demanding
and complex, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations may result in significant costs or require changes in our business practices
that could adversely affect our operations.
23
Cybersecurity Leadership
Our Board of Directors is
actively involved in overseeing our cybersecurity risk management. Our Board of Directors receives quarterly updates on our cybersecurity
posture, threats, and incidents from our Senior Vice President of Technology, who now serves in a consulting role with the Company. Our
Board of Directors also delegates certain oversight functions to our Audit Committee, which reviews our cybersecurity policies, procedures,
controls, and audit results. Our Board of Directors and our Audit Committee regularly assess the adequacy of our cybersecurity risk management
framework and the effectiveness of our mitigation strategies.
Our cybersecurity operations
are led by our consulting Senior Vice President of Technology, who has over 20 years of experience in the field of cybersecurity. He is
responsible for developing and implementing our cybersecurity strategy, policies, standards, and practices. He also oversees our cybersecurity
team, which includes a staff member who recently completed his master’s degree in cybersecurity. Our cybersecurity team monitors,
detects, responds, and reports on cybersecurity threats and incidents, and coordinates with our internal and external stakeholders to
ensure the security of our information assets.
urban-gro adheres to the NIST
Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, which provides a set of standards, guidelines, and best practices to manage cybersecurity-related risks.
We have developed and documented our systems disaster recovery plan, which outlines the roles, responsibilities, and procedures for restoring
our critical systems and data in the event of a cyber incident. We have also crafted over 12 internal policies to help maintain a secure
environment, such as our information security policy, our data classification policy, our incident response policy, and our password policy.
We regularly conduct phishing simulations, vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and audits to test the effectiveness of our controls
and backups, and to identify and remediate any gaps or weaknesses in our cybersecurity posture.
Cybersecurity Incidents
Despite our efforts to prevent
and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience any breaches, disruptions, or unauthorized access
to our information technology systems and networks. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, cybersecurity incidents that
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects .
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal place of
business is located at 1751 Panorama Point, Unit G, Lafayette, Colorado, 80026. This location is leased and consists of
approximately 10,000 square feet, including approximately 3,500 square feet of office space and 6,500 square feet of warehouse
space. We currently do not own any property.
24
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company
is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. Other than below, there are no other legal proceedings
for which management believes the ultimate outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and
cash flows.
Gemini Loan Agreement Amendment and Default
On December 13, 2023, our
wholly-owned subsidiary UG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“UG Construction”) entered into
(i) an interest only asset based revolving loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Gemini”)
pursuant to which Gemini extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000, to be used to assist
UG Construction and us with cash management, and (ii) a Secured Promissory Note - Revolving issued by UG Construction to Gemini (the “Promissory
Note”). Pursuant to the Promissory Note, each draw was due and payable on or before 180 days after such draw is funded to UG Construction,
subject to a mandatory pre-payment upon UG Construction’s receipt of payment for any invoice previously submitted and approved for
financing by Gemini.
On March 18, 2025, UG Construction
entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note and waiver with Gemini (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to
the Amendment, Gemini waived any potential or perceived events of default arising under certain circumstances, which events did not constitute
specified events of default under the Promissory Note or the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amendment,
the Promissory Note was amended to provide that (i) the term during which Gemini may consider advances under the Loan Agreement has been
extended to January 1, 2026, and (ii) the interest applied on the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note will accrue interest
at an annual rate of 12%, and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to Gemini on the first business day of each month for the
prior month. The Amendment also amended the Loan Agreement to require monthly reporting of certain accounts receivable and to include
a covenant that such accounts receivable equal or exceed 125% of the sum of the total amount drawn down under the Promissory Note, plus
outstanding interest, as of the applicable measurement date. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, we issued to Gemini, as
an amendment fee, 150,000 shares of our common stock, or 6,000 shares after giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split.
On July 31, 2025, Gemini issued
a notice of default to UG Construction claiming that UG Construction was in default under the line of credit due to a failure to
submit receivables calculations and failing to maintain sufficient eligible accounts and to forward accounts receivable. The notice indicated
that the remaining outstanding amount due under the line of credit of approximately $1.76 million was immediately due and payable with
default of 1% per week accruing from the June 16, 2025 date of default claimed by Gemini, and that Gemini intended to pursue legal
action if full payment was not received by August 8, 2025.
25
On August 21, 2025, we received
a notification from Gemini stating that Gemini would proceed with a foreclosure and private sale of substantially all of the assets of
UG Construction in an Article 9 sale process, pursuant to Section 9601 et seq. of the California Commercial Code (the “Asset Sale”).
The Asset Sale occurred on September 4, 2025, at which Gemini acquired the assets constituting the collateral under the line of credit
for $450,000.
On August 29, 2025, Gemini
commenced a lawsuit captioned Gemini Finance Corp. v. UG Construction, Inc. et al. , case number 25CV2259 W SBC, in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of California, which lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) included us and certain of our officers
as defendants and pursuant to which Gemini claimed it was owed $1,486,189 (the “Claim Amount”).
On September 26, 2025, we
entered into a Settlement and Mutual General Release (the “Gemini Settlement Agreement”) with Gemini. Pursuant to the terms
of the Gemini Settlement Agreement, among other things, we agreed to file a joint motion requesting an expedited fairness hearing under
Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which motion was filed on September 30,
2025. Following such fairness hearing, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions and requirements of Section 3(a)(10)
of the Securities Act, we agreed to issue to Gemini shares of our common stock that, upon sale by Gemini, would result in net proceeds
to Gemini equal to the Claim Amount, provided that Gemini shall at no time be issued shares if it would beneficially own more than 4.99%
of our common stock, and the aggregate number of shares issued to Gemini may not exceed 19.99% of our outstanding common stock as of immediately
prior to the signing of the Gemini Settlement Agreement to the extent required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Additionally, Gemini agreed
to use its best efforts to not sell common stock exceeding 10% of our daily volume on any given trading day. Upon the issuance of the
last tranche of shares under the Gemini Settlement Agreement, Gemini will dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice. The Gemini Settlement Agreement
also included a customary mutual release of claims by the parties. The fairness hearing occurred on October 14, 2025.
Grow Hill Default
On October 1, 2024, we entered
into an asset-based term Loan Agreement with Grow Hill, LLC (“Grow Hill”) pursuant to which Grow Hill extended to us a secured
loan of $2,100,000 with an origination fee of $100,000, which was added to the amount of the loan. The loan is evidenced by a Secured
Promissory Note issued by us to Grow Hill. Grow Hill received a security interest in certain of our assets pursuant to a security agreement
between us and Grow Hill (the “Security Agreement”), which does not include any assets of our subsidiaries.
On October 14, 2025, we received service of process for a lawsuit filed
by Grow Hill against us in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (Case No. 2025CV33546) alleging breach of contract
and fraud. Pursuant to the complaint, Grow Hill stated that we were in default under the Secured Promissory Note due to a failure to timely
make payments, and elected to accelerate all amounts due under the Secured Promissory Note, including a default fee equal to 1% of the
outstanding principal amount. We are currently investigating available options to resolve the complaint and intend to vigorously defend
the allegation of fraud.
J Brrothers Settlement
On August 8, 2025, we entered
into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with J Brrothers LLC (“J Brrothers”) and
Herb-a-More LLC relating to a dispute arising from amounts due for certain heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. Pursuant
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, among other things, we issued a promissory note to J Brrothers with an original principal amount
of $395,556 and agreed to issue 150,000 unregistered shares of our common stock, or 6,000 shares after giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse
stock split, to J Brrothers. The note accrues simple interest at an annual rate of 12% and has a maturity date of March 18, 2026. The
note must be repaid in monthly installments over a period of eight months, with the first seven payments being $50,000 per month and the
final monthly payment being $64,047. Any remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest will become due and payable on the maturity
date, and the note may be prepaid without penalty. The note includes customary representations and warranties, customary events of default
and a 17% default interest rate.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had made only the initial partial
payment of $25,000 on August 27, 2025. The required $50,000 monthly payments for September through December 2025 were not made. The outstanding
balance was approximately $374,512 at December 31, 2025, inclusive of accrued interest. The note matured on March 18, 2026.

MJ’s Market, Inc
MJ’s Market, Inc. v.
Urban-Gro, Inc. et al, pending in the Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts as Civil Action No. 2384-cv-02794. The original complaint,
filed by MJ’s Market, Inc, alleged that the Corporation prepared deign drawings for the plaintiff and subsequently sold those drawings
to a competitor. The original complaint asserted claims for Breach of Contract; violation of M.G.L. c. 93A; Breach of the Covenant of
Good Faith and Fair Dealing; Trademark Infringement; and Interference with Contractual Relations against the Corporation. An amended complaint
has been filed which names 2WR of Colorado, Inc., which is characterized as a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation, in place of
the Corporation. The lawsuit is ongoing.
RK Mechanical- complaint filed
On June 27, 2025, RK Mechanical LLC (“RK”) filed a complaint
against UG Construction and certain other defendants, with SVC Manufacturing Inc. as cross-claimant and UG Construction as cross-defendant,
in the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa County (Case No. CV2025-022680). The complaint alleged that UG Construction served as general
contractor for the construction of a PepsiCo plant in Tolleson, Arizona, and that as a result of work completed by RK, UG Construction
owed $1,522,716 to RK as a result of alleged breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation
of the Arizona Prompt Payment Act, and lien foreclosure. On or about October 2025, a default judgment was entered against UG Construction
for $1,511,716, plus prejudgment interest of $288,346 and post-judgment interest at 8.25% plus $10,057 in attorney fees.
Action Equipment- complaint filed
On April 21, 2025, Action
Equip. & Scaffold Co. (“Action”) filed a complaint against UG Construction in the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa
County (Case No. CV2025-014165). The complaint alleged that UG Construction owed Action $380,932 plus interest and attorneys’ fees
in connection with a contract pursuant to which Action leased equipment to UG Construction, and alleged breach of contract, breach of
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment.
Cullens v. Urban-Gro, Inc. et al.
On December 24, 2025, Christopher W. Cullens (“Mr. Cullens”),
a former employee of urban-gro, Inc. (the “Company”), filed a complaint against the Company and Bradley Nattrass, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, in the District Court, Boulder County, State of Colorado (Case No. 2025CV31164). Mr. Cullens served as Vice President
of Construction Operations pursuant to a written employment agreement and was terminated without cause on November 14, 2025, following
an unpaid furlough that began in August 2025.
The complaint asserts claims for: (i) violation of the Colorado Wage
Claim Act, C.R.S. § 8-4-101, et seq. (the "CWA"), against the Company and Mr. Nattrass; (ii) breach of contract against
the Company; and (iii) unjust enrichment against the Company, pleaded in the alternative. Mr. Cullens alleges that, at the time of his
termination, he had earned and was vested in commissions totaling $650,000, which he contends constitute earned, vested, and determinable
wages due and payable immediately upon discharge under the CWA. Mr. Cullens further alleges that he is entitled to a severance package
consisting of nine months of his base salary and nine months of COBRA premium payments pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
Mr. Cullens seeks, among other relief, payment of the unpaid commissions, statutory penalties of up to three times the unpaid wages under
the CWA, the full value of the severance package, reasonable attorney's fees and costs, and such other relief as the court deems just
and proper.
On March 30, 2026, the Company and Mr. Nattrass filed their answer
to the complaint, generally denying the material allegations or asserting that they lack sufficient information or knowledge to admit
or deny certain allegations. Among other defenses, the Company asserts that Mr. Cullens has been paid for his time worked, that all compensation
considered earned, vested, and determinable has been paid, that Mr. Nattrass is not an "employer" under the CWA, and that Mr.
Cullens may have failed to mitigate his damages.
Concurrently with the answer, the Company filed counterclaims against
Mr. Cullens asserting: (i) breach of contract; (ii) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and (iii) unjust enrichment,
pleaded in the alternative. The counterclaims arise out of an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on or about March
13, 2022, among the Company, Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., Emerald Construction Management, Inc., Christopher Cullens, Charles Cullens, and
Green Stone Property LLC (the "Acquisition Agreement"), and an Amended and Restated Indemnification Claim Agreement entered
into on or about August 10, 2023, between the Company and Mr. Cullens (the “Amended Indemnification Agreement”). The Company
alleges that, under Article VIII of the Acquisition Agreement and the Amended Indemnification Agreement, Mr. Cullens is obligated to indemnify
the Company for certain pre-closing losses and specified project-related losses, including losses related to a project in Olathe, Kansas,
and legal fees associated with at least six pending indemnification claims. The Company alleges that Mr. Cullens has failed to make the
required indemnification payments. The Company seeks an award of its losses and damages, costs, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys'
fees and costs.
This litigation is in its preliminary stages. The Company believes
the claims asserted in Mr. Cullens' complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them while pursuing its counterclaims.
The outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain, and the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome or estimate the amount or
range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter.
Other – Trade
Vendors
Due to cash flow and working
capital issues, the Company has been delinquent in paying vendors, some of which have filed lawsuits seeking judgment for payment. The
amounts due to these vendors are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON
EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
On February 17, 2021, we
completed a public offering of 6,210,000 shares of our common stock (248,400 shares on a post–1-for-25 reverse stock split
basis), inclusive of the underwriters’ full overallotment, at $10.00 per share ($250.00 per share on a post-split basis), for
total gross offering proceeds of $62,100,000. In connection with the offering, we received approval to list our common stock on
Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “UGRO.” Prior to the offering, shares of our common stock were quoted on the OTC
Markets Group, Inc. OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “UGRO.” Although our shares were quoted on the OTCQX Marketplace
from October 7, 2019 through February 11, 2021, because trading on the OTCQX Marketplace was infrequent and limited in volume, the
prices at which such transactions occurred did not necessarily reflect the price that would have been paid for our common stock in a
more liquid market.
The trading price of our common
stock has been, and may continue to be, subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our
control, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
HOLDERS
As of April 15, 2026, we had
approximately 65 holders of record of our Common Stock. The number of shareholders of record does not include beneficial owners of our
common stock whose shares are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks, brokers and other fiduciaries.
DIVIDENDS
Since our inception, we have
not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings, if any, will be retained
for use in the development and operation of our business. In the future, our Board may decide, at its discretion, whether dividends may
be declared and paid to holders of our common stock.
REPORTS
We are subject to certain
reporting requirements and furnish annual financial reports to our shareholders, certified by our independent accountants, and furnish
unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by
us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During the year ended December 31,
2025, we issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
● The
Company issued the following shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy contingent
consideration purchase price liabilities for acquisitions as follows (pre-split):
● Gemini
amendment fee: 150,000 shares (6,000 shares on a post–1-for-25 reverse stock split basis)
● Gemini
3(a)(10) first tranche: 700,000 shares (28,000 shares on a post–1-for-25 reverse stock split basis)
● J

● One
Eyed Jack: 1,000,000 shares in January 2026 (40,000 shares on a post–1-for-25 reverse stock split basis) in January
2026
The foregoing issuances of
restricted shares of common stock were issued under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder. The Company believes the issuance of the foregoing restricted shares was exempt from registration as a privately
negotiated, isolated, non-recurring transaction not involving a public solicitation. No commissions were paid regarding the share issuances,
and the share certificates were issued with a Rule 144 restrictive legend.
Purchase of Equity Securities by Issuer and
Affiliated Purchasers
During the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase common stock. As of December 31, 2025, we have $1.4 million remaining under the repurchase
program.

ITEM 6. [RESERVED]
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. In addition,
see “Cautionary Information about Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Report. When applicable, all share and per share
amounts presented herein have been restated to reflect the implementation of the 1-for-25 reverse stock split as if it had occurred at
the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Overview
The fiscal year ended December
31, 2025 was a period of significant strategic transformation for the Company. During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company continued
to operate its legacy Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) design-build and equipment reselling businesses while pursuing
the wind-down of its core operations. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company made the decision to exit its core business sectors due
to changing market conditions and its inability to raise significant funds due to its filing status and compliance with the Nasdaq. The
Company began selling assets, reducing its workforce, and preparing for a subsequent merger.
On October 14, 2025, the Company
entered into a binding letter of intent with Flash Sports & Media, Inc. (“Flash”) regarding the proposed Merger. During
the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company wound down its remaining services businesses and furloughed the associated employees. The Merger
with Flash was completed on February 17, 2026, subsequent to the fiscal year end covered by this Report. As such, the financial results
presented herein for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the legacy urban-gro operations only and do not include any revenue
or expenses of Flash or IPG. For a description of the Company’s post-Merger operations, see “Item 1 — Business.”
Results of Operations
Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated revenue
of $17.4 million compared to $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $13.8 million, or approximately 44%. This
decrease was driven primarily by a $10.1 million decrease in construction design-build revenue and a $3.5 million decrease in equipment
systems revenue, reflecting the Company’s ongoing wind-down of legacy operations.
Cost of Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2025, cost of revenue was $17.2 million
compared to $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $14.3 million, or approximately 45%. Gross profit was approximately
$174,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to gross loss of $388,000 for the comparable prior-year period. The improvement
in gross margin from a gross loss to a gross profit reflects the Company’s cost reduction efforts outpacing the revenue decline during
the wind-down period.
Operating Expenses.
Operating expenses decreased by $9.8 million, or approximately 35%, to $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to
$28.0 million for the comparable prior-year period. This decrease resulted from a $3.7 million decrease in general and administrative
expenses, a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization and $6.0 million decrease in impairment of goodwill and intangibles,
reflecting headcount reductions and asset dispositions undertaken as part of the wind-down.
Non-Operating Expenses.
Non-operating expenses increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to
a $2.4 million loss recognized on the foreclosure of UG Construction assets in connection with the Gemini Finance Corp. settlement, as
well as increased interest expense of $0.6 million.
Net Loss. Net loss
from continuing operations was $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $29.4 million for the comparable prior-year
period. Total net loss, including discontinued operations, was $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $36.5 million
for the comparable prior-year period.
30
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the
Company had cash of approximately $10,000 and negative working capital of approximately $44.8 million, compared to negative working capital
of $26.5 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $18.3 million. This deterioration in working capital was primarily attributable
to a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.1 million, as well as increases in accounts payable and customer deposits of $4.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating
activities was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This source of cash is the net effect of the net loss of $21.6 million,
offset by non-cash expenses of $11.8 million, and an increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $11.2 million, offset by net
cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations of $0.5 million.
Net cash used in investing
activities was $1.8 million, primarily from purchase of property and equipment and discontinued operations.
Net cash used in financing
activities was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Cash provided from financing activities during the year ended
December 31, 2025 primarily relates to additions to notes payable for $1.7 million, partially offset by $5.1 million of payments
made on notes payable.
The Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient revenue and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current
and future obligations. The Company has produced multiple consecutive years of net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Following the completion of the Merger
on February 17, 2026, the Company believes that the combined entity’s operations, including IPG’s revenue-generating cricket
commercialization business, will provide improved liquidity and a path toward sustainable operations. The Company may also seek to raise
additional capital through equity or debt financing to support integration and growth initiatives. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital,
it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development, which could harm its business, financial condition, and operating results.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our most significant estimates for FY2025 relate to: Revenue Recognition (ASC 606) — For construction
design-build contracts, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input method, requiring estimates of total contract costs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill (ASC 360-10-35 / ASC 350) — We evaluate recoverability whenever events indicate the
carrying amount may not be recoverable; during 2025 impairment charges were recorded in connection with the wind-down. Allowance for Credit
Losses (ASC 326-20) — Estimated based on historical loss experience, aging, current conditions, and forecasts; significant judgment
was required given the wind-down. Stock-Based Compensation — Measured at grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes model. Income
Taxes (ASC 740) — We maintain a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in evaluating realizability and estimating provisions.

As a smaller reporting company,
we are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA
The financial statements and
supplementary financial information required by this Item are set forth immediately following the signature page and are incorporated
herein by reference.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On February 27, 2026, the Company dismissed Sadler,
Gibb & Associates, LLC (“Sadler”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss
Sadler was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors on February 27, 2026. Sadler had been retained by the Company
on May 29, 2024. Sadler’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2022, 2023 and 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.
From the date Sadler was engaged by the Company
through the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with Sadler on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sadler, would have caused
them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. From the date Sadler was engaged by the Company through the
date of dismissal, there were no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On March 3, 2026, Suri and Co., Chartered Accountants
(“Suri”), Certified Public Accountants of Chennai, India, were appointed by the Company to audit the Company’s financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods preceding their
appointment, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Suri regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles
to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements, nor has Suri provided to the Company a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion,
or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or
a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
31
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation
of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
These controls are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation,
our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025 because of
the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Notwithstanding the ineffective
disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the identified material weaknesses, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the consolidated
financial statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP).
Our management, including
our CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many
of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in
erroneous reporting of financial data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which were identified in conjunction with management’s
evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that:
●
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
●
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
●
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
32
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified deficiencies
that resulted in material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified include:
●
Lack of sufficient technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to appropriately address complex technical accounting issues; and
●
Failure to maintain a sufficient complement of personnel in our accounting and reporting department to ensure adequate segregation of duties such that appropriate review and monitoring of its financial records are executed.
The material weaknesses described
above could result in material misstatements to financial statements or disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.
This Report does not include
an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to
provide only management’s report in this Report.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses
As it relates to the material
weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2025, we are currently in the process of designing and implementing remediation plans and taking
steps to address the root cause of the material weaknesses described above. Such plans include, but may not be limited to, the following:
●
Ensure personnel resources within the accounting function have technical accounting expertise and experience commensurate with our operations;
●
Engage external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP where technical accounting expertise within the accounting function is considered insufficient; and
●
Improve control processes to ensure adequate review by individuals with sufficient technical accounting expertise to prevent disclosure and financial reporting misstatements.
While we believe these efforts will improve our internal controls and
address the root cause of the material weaknesses, such material weaknesses will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been
fully implemented and we have concluded, through testing, that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.
The completion of the Merger with Flash Sports and Media, Inc. on February 17, 2026 has provided the Company with access to additional
accounting and financial reporting resources, including experienced personnel with technical accounting expertise. Management believes
these additional resources, combined with the remediation steps described above, will enable the Company to address and remediate the
identified material weaknesses. However, there can be no assurance as to the timing of such remediation or that additional material weaknesses
will not be identified in the future.

or executive officers. To the Company’s knowledge, there have been no material legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of

Board Committees and Meetings
The Board had established
four standing committees, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and the
ESG Committee, to assist it with the performance of its responsibilities. Effective November 21, 2025, the Board dissolved the ESG Committee.
The Board designates the members of these committees and the committee chairs based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee. The Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees, which can be found at the investor relations
section of the Company’s website at https://ir.urban-gro.com/. Copies are also available in print to any stockholder upon written
request to urban-gro, Inc., 1751 Panorama Point, Unit G, Lafayette, Colorado 80026, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The chair of each
committee develops the agenda for that committee and determines the frequency and length of committee meetings.
The Board held five meetings
during 2025. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and meetings of the committees on which
they serve, with the understanding that on occasion a director may be unable to attend a meeting. During 2025, each director attended
75% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the
Board on which such director then served. Every director then serving attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Audit Committee
Our Board has established
an Audit Committee, which consists of three independent directors, Mr. Hsu (Chairperson), Ms. Lo, and Mr. Fell. Ms. Britt was Chairperson
through February 2026. The Audit Committee held six meetings during 2025. The committee’s primary duties are to:
●
Review and discuss with management and our independent auditor our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures, including disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the results of the independent auditor’s audit or review, as the case may be;
●
Review our financial reporting processes and internal control over financial reporting systems and the performance, generally, of our internal audit function, if applicable;

Oversee the audit and other services of our independent registered public accounting firm and be directly responsible for the appointment, independence, qualifications, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, which reports directly to the Audit Committee;
●
Oversee the Company’s cybersecurity plan, business continuity program, information protection management strategy and related risks to all of these areas;

Provide an open means of communication among our independent registered public accounting firm, management, our internal auditing function and our Board;
36

Review any disagreements between our management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding our financial reporting;

Prepare the Audit Committee report for inclusion in our proxy statement for our annual stockholder meetings;
●
Establish procedures for complaints received regarding our accounting, internal accounting control and auditing matters; and
●
Approve all audit and permissible non-audit services conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Board has determined that
each of our Audit Committee members is independent of management and free of any relationships that, in the opinion of the Board, would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and are independent, as that term is defined under the enhanced independence standards
for audit committee members in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.
The Board has determined that
Mr. Hsu is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2012. The Board has further determined that each of the members
of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate and that at least one member of the committee has accounting or related financial
management expertise, as such terms are interpreted by the Board in its business judgment.
Compensation Committee
Our Board has established
a Compensation Committee, which, in 2025, consisted of independent directors (as defined under the general independence standards of the
Nasdaq listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines): Mr. Wilks (Chairperson, until his resignation on August 26, 2025),
Mrs. Britt, and Mr. Hsu. Following Mr. Wilks’ resignation, the committee consisted of Mrs. Britt and Mr. Hsu. Each member is a “non-employee
director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act). The Compensation Committee held two meetings during 2025. The committee’s
primary duties are to:
● Approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive
officer compensation and evaluate executive officer performance in light of those goals and objectives;
● Determine and approve executive officer compensation, including
base salary and incentive awards;
● Make recommendations to the Board regarding compensation plans;
and
● Administer our stock plan.
Our Compensation Committee
determines and approves all elements of executive officer compensation. It also provides recommendations to the Board with respect to
non-employee director compensation. The Compensation Committee may not delegate its authority to any other person, other than to a subcommittee.
Mr. Nattrass, as the Chairperson of the Board, is the only executive officer that participates in recommending the amount or form of executive
and director compensation.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
Our Board has established
a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which, in 2025, consisted of independent directors, Mr. Lowe (Chairperson), Mr. Wilks
(until his resignation on August 26, 2025) and Mrs. Britt. Following Mr. Wilks’ resignation, the committee consisted of Mr. Lowe and Mrs.
Britt. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held two meetings during 2025. The committee’s primary duties are to:
● Recruit new directors, consider director nominees recommended
by stockholders and others and recommend nominees for election as directors;
● Review the size and composition of our Board and committees;
● Oversee the evaluation of the Board;
● Recommend actions to increase the Board’s effectiveness; and
● Develop, recommend and oversee our corporate governance principles,
including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
37
Environment, Social and Governance Committee
Our Board had established an ESG Committee, which
consisted of three independent directors, Mr. Hsu (Chairperson), Mr. Lowe and Ms. Lo. The ESG Committee held four meetings during 2025
prior to its dissolution. The Board dissolved the ESG Committee on November 21, 2025. The committee’s primary duties were to:
● Identify, review and determine the effectiveness of the Company’s
ESG metrics and goals;
● Review emerging risks and opportunities regarding ESG issues
and matters relative to the Company;
● Recommend to the Board ESG plans and strategies; and
● Review stockholder proposals relating to ESG issues and recommend
responses to the Board.
Director Independence
The Nasdaq marketplace rules
require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominations committees
be independent, or, if a listed company has no nominations committee, that director nominees be selected or recommended for the board’s
selection by independent directors constituting a majority of the board’s independent directors. The Nasdaq marketplace rules further
require that audit committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and that compensation
committee members satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act.
Our Board has reviewed the
independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s
ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. Our Board has affirmatively determined
that each of Messrs. Lowe, Wilks and Hsu and Mses. Britt and Lo qualify as an independent director, as defined under the applicable corporate
governance standards of Nasdaq. Please see “Certain Relationships and Related Transaction s” in this proxy statement
for a transaction that the Board considered for determining Mr. Lowe’s and Ms. Lo’s independence.
Anti-Hedging Policy
Under our insider trading
policy, our directors, officers and employees may not at any time buy or sell options, puts or calls on company securities, security futures,
or other derivative securities that reference company securities and may not enter into hedging, monetization transactions or similar
transactions with respect to Company securities. In addition, our directors and executive officers are prohibited from engaging in short
sales of our stock.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a written code of business ethics and conduct (the
“Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries integrity,
reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality,
fair dealing with stockholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical
behavior. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or
relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts
of interest. Our Board will have ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct, and it will monitor compliance through
our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Directors, officers and employees will be required to annually certify that they have
not violated the Code of Conduct. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reflects the foregoing principles. The full text of our Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics is published on our website at https://ir.urban-gro.com/investors/.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. SEC regulations require executive officers, directors,
and greater than 10% stockholders to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Company’s
review of the copies of such forms furnished or available to the Company, the Company believes that its directors, executive officers,
and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for certain Form
4s relating to annual vesting of stock grants and tax withholdings related to those vested stock grants. The Company intends to file these
delinquent reports on or before the annual shareholder meeting.

We are a “smaller reporting
company” under applicable SEC rules and are providing disclosure regarding our executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the
rules applicable to smaller reporting companies, which means that we are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis
and certain other disclosures regarding our executive compensation. The following discussion relates to the compensation of our named
executive officers for 2025, consisting of Bradley J. Nattrass, our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, and the two other individuals
who served as executive officers during 2025: Richard A. Akright, who served as Chief Financial Officer (transitioning to fractional CFO
on February 18, 2025), and Jason T. Archer, who served as Chief Operating Officer until his resignation on February 14, 2025.
We have a Compensation Committee
that, in 2025, was comprised of Messrs. Wilks (until his resignation on August 26, 2025 whereon Mr. James Lower was added) and Hsu and
Ms. Britt. Under our Compensation Committee charter, our Compensation Committee determines and approves all elements of executive officer
compensation. The Compensation Committee’s primary objectives in determining executive officer compensation are (i) developing an
overall compensation package that is at market levels and thus fosters executive officer retention and (ii) aligning the interests of
our executive officers with our stockholders by linking a significant portion of the compensation package to performance.

Employee Agreements
The following discussion relates
to compensation arrangement on behalf of, and compensation paid by us to, Messrs. Nattrass, Archer, and Akright and that were in place
during 2025.
Bradley J. Nattrass. We
are a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Nattrass (the “Nattrass Agreement”), whereby he serves as our Chief Executive
Officer. Pursuant to the Nattrass Agreement, he receives compensation pursuant to our standard programs in effect from time to time. In
connection with cost-saving measures during 2025, Mr. Nattrass voluntarily reduced his annual salary from $450,000 to $350,000, and is
eligible to receive stock options, restricted stock, stock units or other equity awards from time to time at the sole discretion of the
Board in accordance with our 2021 Incentive Stock Option Plan or other equity plans that we may adopt. He is also entitled to participate
in our group benefit plans.
Under certain circumstances,
the Nattrass Agreement also provides for severance benefits following a termination without “cause” or related to a “change
of control” (as such terms are defined in the Nattrass Agreement). In the event of a termination without “cause,” Mr.
Nattrass is entitled to severance payments equal to 12 months of regular base salary and target annual incentive pay and a lump sum payment
for 12 months of COBRA premiums. In the event of termination in connection with a “change in control,” Mr. Nattrass is entitled
to a lump sum payment equal to twice the sum of his annual salary and his target annual incentive pay, and a lump sum payment for 12 months
of COBRA premiums. All other additional benefits and stock incentive rights (if any) would cease and expire upon termination of employment,
unless otherwise provided in the Nattrass Agreement or by the separate written terms of such benefits or incentives. The Nattrass Agreement
includes indemnification, confidentiality and non-compete provisions.

R EPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of urban-gro,
Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of urban-gro, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We served as the Company’s auditor from 2024 to 2026.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
urban-gro, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of urban-gro, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statement of operations and
comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit and consolidated statement of cash flows for year ended December
31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
of United States of America.
Matters related to Going Concern - Also constituting
the Critical Audit Matter communication for Going Concern (see cross-reference in Critical Audit Matters section below)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has suffered recurring net losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency, has discontinued its services business and
has experienced the foreclosure and Article 9 sale of the accounts receivables of its UG Construction, Inc. subsidiary by Gemini Finance
Corp. in September 2025, retaining only an equipment reseller operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in response to these conditions
include the completion of a reverse merger transaction with Flash Sports & Media, Inc. (as described in Note 1), pursuant to which
the stockholders of Flash would receive shares representing approximately 90% of the combined entity and the Company would redirect its
operations to the business of Flash Sports & Media. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds or increase its scope of operations
through the reverse merger to alleviate liquidity needs, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We identified a material uncertainty related to
going concern, as management’s assertion that the proposed reverse merger with Flash Sports & Media, Inc. mitigates substantial
doubt involved significant judgment. This required us to assess the overall credibility and feasibility of management’s plans, including
the likelihood and timing of the merger and the adequacy of related disclosures in accordance with ASC 205-40.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the going concern
assessment included the following amongst others:
● We conducted detailed inquiry procedures with management
regarding the future business plans of the Company, including the intended business model of the merged entity, and the status of the
merger transaction.
● We obtained and evaluated management's financial projections
and budgets for the post-merger entity.
● We evaluated the appropriateness of management's going concern
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including Note [X], against the requirements of ASC 205-40.
● We performed subsequent events procedures through the date
of our report to identify any developments relevant to the going concern assessment.
F- 3
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company suspended its construction business and evaluated the recoverability
of its assets in connection with suspension and the planned merger. Based on this assessment, management determined that certain assets
were not recoverable and recorded impairments and write-offs totaling $7,271,522 million, including property and equipment, accounts receivables,
contract receivables, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. These charges are included within operating expenses of
continuing operations. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, UG Construction, Inc., defaulted under its loan agreement with Gemini Finance
Corp., resulting in a foreclosure and Article 9 sale of the assets consisting of the accounts receivables on September 4, 2025, for $450,000.
The Company recognized a loss on foreclosure in its consolidated statement of operations amounting to $2,473,501, representing the excess
of the carrying value of the net assets disposed over the value of the loan adjusted. In addition, the remaining outstanding debt obligation
gave rise to further financial impact, which was subsequently resolved through a settlement agreement involving the issuance of the Company’s
common stock. These events had a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Our opinion is not
modified with respect to this matter.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The company is not required to have nor we have
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the audit committee and that:
(1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the
financial statements; and
(2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
The communication of critical audit matters does
not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters
below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company recognized revenue from three streams during the year ended December 31, 2025: (i) equipment systems, for which
revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer, generally on a bill-to ship-to basis; and (ii) construction
design-build whose operations were wound down in the 4 th quarter and (iii) services, which were discontinued in the third quarter
of 2025 and are presented within discontinued operations. Revenue from construction design-build contracts was recognized over time using
a cost-to-cost measure of progress, which requires management to estimate total contract costs. Revenue from services contracts was recognized
upon satisfaction of performance obligations, including arrangements with multiple performance obligations requiring allocation of the
transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices.
F- 4
We identified revenue recognition as a critical
audit matter due to (i) the significant judgment required to estimate total costs to complete and measure progress toward completion for
construction design-build contracts, (ii) the complexity and judgment involved in identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction
price for services arrangements, (iii) the risk of incomplete revenue recognition for equipment transactions associated with the bill-to
ship-to model, and (iv) the additional complexity associated with the discontinuation and presentation of services operations. These factors
required significant auditor judgment and increased audit attention, including the need to evaluate subjective assumptions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to revenue recognition
included the following, among others:
Equipment Systems
▪ We tested samples of revenue transactions by inspecting customer
agreements or sales orders.
▪ We tested completeness of revenue by mapping vendor purchase
orders to customer invoices for bill-to ship-to transactions.
▪ We performed analytical procedures, including variance analysis,
and evaluated related disclosures.
Construction Revenue
▪ We obtained contract-wise schedules for construction contracts
with revenue activity during the year.
▪ For a selection of contracts, we evaluated contract terms,
including contract value, estimated total costs to complete, and costs incurred to date, and reviewed the percentage of completion and
related revenue recognized.
▪ We performed analytical procedures and cut-off testing for
transactions near and around the asset foreclosure and wound down of operations.
Services Revenue (Part of the discontinued
operations)
▪ For a selection of service contracts, we identified performance
obligations and evaluated the allocation of transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices, including assessing the reasonableness
of those estimates.
▪ We inspected supporting documentation to test whether performance
obligations were satisfied and revenue was recognized in the appropriate period.
▪ We evaluated management’s accounting analysis for discontinued
operations and assessed whether revenue, costs, and related assets and liabilities were appropriately segregated and presented in the
financial statements and disclosures.
Going Concern Assessment
Refer to the Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going
Concern in this report, which also constitutes the critical audit matter communication for this matter in accordance with AS 3101.
We determined that there are no other critical
audit matters.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS, BUSINESS PLAN, AND LIQUIDITY
Organization
urban-gro,
Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively “urban-gro,” “we,” “us,” or “the
Company”) was originally formed on March 20, 2014, as a Colorado limited liability company. On March 10, 2017, we converted to
a Colorado corporation and exchanged shares of our common stock for every member’s interest issued and outstanding on the date
of conversion. On October 29, 2020 , we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. On February 12, 2021, we completed an uplisting
to the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “UGRO”.
In
2025, urban-gro, Inc. was an integrated professional services and design-build firm. We offered value-added architectural, engineering,
and construction management solutions to the Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”), industrial, healthcare, and other
commercial sectors. Innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability drove our team to provide exceptional customer experiences.
To serve our horticulture clients, we engineered, designed and managed the construction of indoor CEA facilities and then integrate complex
environmental equipment systems into those facilities. Through this work, we created high-performance indoor cultivation facilities for
our clients to grow specialty crops, including leafy greens, vegetables, herbs, and plant-based medicines. Our custom-tailored approach
to design, construction, procurement, and equipment integration provided a single point of accountability across all aspects of indoor
growing operations. We also helped our clients achieve operational efficiency and economic advantages through a full spectrum of professional
services and programs focused on facility optimization and environmental health which established facilities that allowed clients to
manage, operate and perform at the highest level throughout their entire cultivation lifecycle once they are up and running. Further,
we served a broad range of commercial and governmental entities, providing them with planning, consulting, architectural, engineering
and construction design-build services for their facilities. We aimed to work with our clients from the inception of their project in
a way that provided value throughout the life of their facility. We are a trusted partner and advisor to our clients and offer a complete
set of engineering and managed services complemented by a vetted suite of select cultivation equipment systems.
During the third quarter
of 2025, the Company made the strategic decision to wind down its legacy CEA operations due to changing market conditions, its
inability to raise capital, and the proposed merger with Flash Sports and Media, Inc. The wind-down included the sale of the 2WR of
Georgia subsidiary (August 27, 2025), the foreclosure of UG Construction assets by Gemini Finance Corp. (September 4, 2025),
workforce reductions, and cessation of new project pursuits. As of December 31, 2025, substantially all legacy operations have been
winding down. Certain operating leases remain on the balance sheet as the Company continues to evaluate subletting, early termination,
or expiration of those non-cancellable obligations.
Dispositions
On
August 27, 2025, the Company announced that certain subsidiaries (the “Seller Parties”) of the Company entered into a Stock
and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “August 27 Purchase Agreement”) with 2WR Holdco, LLC (the “Buyer”). Pursuant
to the August 27 Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding shares of stock of 2WR
of Georgia, Inc. (“2WRGA”) and certain assets of other subsidiaries of the Company relating to those entities’ business
of providing commercial, industrial and municipal architectural and construction administration services for projects not involving CEA,
with such CEA business being retained by the Company.
See
Note 4 for further detail on the dispositions.
Discontinued Operations
Classification
The Services segment (2WR
of Georgia, Inc., 2WR of Colorado customer lists, and UG Engineering) was classified as discontinued operations effective August 27, 2025,
as this disposal was the result of a Board-authorized sale constituting a strategic shift under ASC 205-20-45-1B. The CEA equipment and
construction operations (including UG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc.) are NOT classified as discontinued
operations and remain in continuing operations. The construction entity’s assets consisting of receivables were involuntarily foreclosed
upon by Gemini Finance Corp. on September 4, 2025 — a creditor enforcement action, not a volitional management decision to exit
the business. Following the foreclosure, management temporarily suspended the remaining construction operations pending determination
of an appropriate course of action, including the possibility of raising independent capital and restarting operations if the pending
merger with Flash Sports and Media, Inc. did not proceed. Flash Sports and Media had not determined, prior to the merger closing on February
17, 2026, whether it intended to continue the construction component. Accordingly, no definitive, irrevocable decision to permanently
exit the CEA or construction business was made during fiscal year 2025. The strategic shift from legacy operations to International Premier
Gaming (IPG) was confirmed only upon the closing of the Merger on February 17, 2026, which is a fiscal year 2026 event.
Impairment and write-offs
In continuation to the above
explained suspension of construction business and the planned merger the company evaluated the recoverability of the assets and to the
extent deemed appropriate and not recoverable the company has impaired or written of the following assets within the operating expenses

Merger
On
February 17, 2026, the Company completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Flash Sports and Media, Inc. (“Flash”),
a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 17, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by
and among the Company, UGRO Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”),
and Flash. As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Flash, with Flash surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Following the closing of the Merger, the Company began operating as a diversified sports, media, and experiential marketing
platform under the Flash Sports & Media brand. The Company intends to change its name to Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc.
or a similar name, subject to receipt of stockholder approval, which the Company intends to seek as soon as reasonably practicable.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
Following the completion of the Merger on February 17, 2026, the Company
believes that the combined entity’s operations, including IPG’s revenue-generating cricket commercialization business, will provide improved
liquidity and a path toward sustainable operations. The Company may also seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing
to support integration and growth initiatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable
to the Company. If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned
development, which could harm its business, financial condition, and operating results. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are audited and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of
cash flows for the periods presented.
Acquisitions
of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-225). The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured
at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred to
the former owners of the acquired entities and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquired entities. Acquisition-related
costs are recognized in net income (loss) as incurred.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
February 9, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its common stock, as approved by stockholders on January 30,
2026. Trading on a split-adjusted basis commenced on February 9, 2026. All shares and per share amounts have been presented retroactively.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates
include estimated revenues earned under percentage of completion construction contracts, professional service contracts, estimated useful
lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, together with the write-off of prepaid expenses and other current assets,
contract receivables, accounts receivables, inventory, allowance for deferred tax assets and deferred
tax liabilities, and allowance for bad debts.
Balance
Sheet Classifications
The
Company includes in current assets and liabilities the following amounts that are in connection with construction contracts that may
extend beyond one year: contract assets and contract liabilities (including retainage invoiced to customers contingent upon anything
other than the passage of time), capitalized costs to fulfill contracts, retainage payable to sub-contractors and accrued losses on uncompleted
contracts. A one-year period is used to classify all other current assets and liabilities when not otherwise prescribed by the applicable
accounting principles.
Contract
Assets and Liabilities
The
timing when the Company collects cash from its construction design-build customers can create a contract asset or contract liability.
Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company’s contract assets and
liabilities.
Functional
and Reporting Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The
functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is US dollars. All transactions in currencies other than US dollars
are translated into US dollars on the date of the transaction. Any exchange gains and losses related to these transactions are recognized
in the current period earnings as other income (expense).
F- 11
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory note and other current
assets and liabilities. We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Fair value is based on the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market
and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level
3 being the lowest) defined as follows:
●
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
●
Level
2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated with observable market data.
●
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant
unobservable inputs.
The
carrying amount of our cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory note, and other current assets and liabilities in our
consolidated financial statements approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments as of December 31, 2025
and 2024.
There
have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 categorizations and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid short-term cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not maintain any cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with financial institutions
that may from time to time exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has Insured Cash Sweep programs in place with its financial institutions
to ensure that these excess funds are also federally insured. There are no restricted or compensating cash balances as of December 31,
2025.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Trade
Accounts Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amounts less an estimate of expected credit losses. The Company estimates its
allowance for credit losses and the related expected credit loss based upon the Company’s historical credit loss experience and
the age of the account adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics, current economic conditions, relationship with the customer,
and reasonable forecasts. Credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus current receivables do not bear interest. The Company
reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit to the customer. If the financial condition of its customers were to
deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an increase in the expected credit losses balance would be
required. A provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent they are considered unlikely to be collected. Occasionally, the
Company will write off bad debt directly to the bad-debt expense account when the balance is determined to be uncollectible.
During the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $ 1,130,760 related to the write-off of accounts receivable deemed uncollectible. In connection
with the Company’s planned merger in the first quarter of 2026, management performed a comprehensive review of outstanding receivables
and determined that certain balances no longer meet the criteria for recognition as assets based on their estimated collectability. The
write-off has been recorded through the allowance for doubtful accounts and is reflected within general and administrative expenses in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 310-10 and ASC 326.
Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized
and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results
of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line
method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate.
F- 12
The
estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Computer and technology equipment 3 years
Furniture and equipment 5 years
Leasehold improvements Lease term
Vehicles 3 years
Other equipment 3 or 5 years
Software 3 years
Operating
Lease Right of Use Assets
The
Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines whether a contract is a lease at contract inception or
for a modified contract at the modification date. At inception or modification, the Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”
assets and related lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all leases greater than one-year in duration. Lease liabilities
and their corresponding ROU assets are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement
date. If the lease contains a renewal and/or termination option, the exercise of the option is included in the term of the lease if the
Company is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. As the Company’s leases do not provide an
implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the
commencement date of the respective lease to determine the present value of the future payments. The IBR is determined by estimating
what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual
terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.
Operating
lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in equal amounts of rent expense attributed
to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess
of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent
expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.
The
Company does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial term of 12 months or less. The
Company recognizes the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating
lease right-of-use assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, amortization, and impairment. The Company has various
operating and finance equipment and office leases with an imputed annual interest rate of 11 %.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company’s intangible assets consist of legal fees for application of patents and trademarks, as well as customer relationships,
trademarks and trade names and backlog from the acquisitions of DVO, 2WR and Emerald. Our patents and trademarks are recorded at cost,
while the intangibles from our acquisitions are recorded at fair value and are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated
life, generally 5 years for patents, 5 years for trademarks and trade names, and 7 years for customer relationships. Intangible assets
are reported in the “Intangible Asset” line on the balance sheet.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized
but is tested for impairment annually and at any time when events or circumstances suggest impairment may have occurred.
F- 13
The
testing for impairment consists of a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount
of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value, an impairment will be recognized equal to the difference between the
carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill. In testing goodwill for impairment,
we determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units based upon a discounted future cash flow analysis. Goodwill, trade names
and patents are our only indefinite-lived intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method
over the shorter of their contractual term or estimated useful lives.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment will be recognized as the amount by which
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Investments
Investments
without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted
for at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps
be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criteria standards as to composition and substance is
identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction
price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is
allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer
with consideration given to whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on judgments
regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services and products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
The
Company derives revenue predominately from the sale of equipment systems, services, construction design-build, and from other various
immaterial contracts with customers. Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional discussion.
Customer
Deposits
The
Company’s policy is to collect deposits from customers in equipment and construction segment at the beginning of the contract.
Please refer to Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company’s customer
deposits.
Cost
of Revenues
The
Company’s policy is to recognize cost of revenues in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. The Company’s
cost of revenues includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the purchasing of products
and providing services, costs related to construction design-build contracts, fees for third-party commissions, and shipping costs.
F- 14
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company periodically issues restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to employees, directors, and consultants in
non-capital raising transactions for fees and services. The Company accounts for stock grants and stock options issued to employees and
directors with the award being measured at its fair value at the date of grant and amortized ratably over the estimated service period.
The Company accounts for stock issued to consultants with the value of the stock compensation based upon the measurement date as determined
at the grant date of the award.
Warrants
The Company classifies warrants
as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the warrants
are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria for equity classification. Warrants classified as equity are recorded
within additional paid-in capital at their relative fair value on the date of issuance and are not subsequently remeasured. The proceeds
from issuances involving warrants are allocated between the host instrument and the warrants using the relative fair value method.
The cost of warrants is amortized over the vesting period or the period of benefit, as applicable, and is recognized as a component of
general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company files income tax returns in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, and state and local tax returns in applicable jurisdictions.
Provisions for current income tax liabilities, if any, would be calculated and accrued on income and expense amounts expected to be included
in the income tax returns for the current year. Income taxes reported in earnings, if any, would also include deferred income tax provisions.
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities, if any, would be computed on differences between the financial statement bases of assets and liabilities
at the enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities would be included as a component of income tax expense.
The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted tax rates would be charged or credited to
income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization
is not likely.
Assets
and liabilities would be established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such
positions, in the judgment of the Company, do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the positions.
Valuation allowances would be established for certain deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.
Loss
per Share
The
Company computes net loss per share by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share would be computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average of all potentially
dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented. The diluted earnings per share calculation is not
presented as it results in an anti-dilutive calculation of net loss per share.
The
treasury stock method would be used to calculate diluted earnings per share for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase
warrants. This method assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants
would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting
pronouncements. The FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).
Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the
future, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
F- 15
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation,
income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, and certain other amendments related to income tax disclosures. The Company adopted this
guidance effective January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or
disclosures, as the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and had minimal income tax activity
during the year ended December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),
which requires disaggregation of certain income statement expense line items. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There are other various updates
recently issued by the FASB, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific
industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management
has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of
any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or the results of our operations.

Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ,
a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer, to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Equipment
systems contracts are lump sum contracts, which require the performance of some, or all, of the obligations under the contract for a specified
amount. Service revenue contracts, which include both architectural and engineering designs, generally contain multiple performance obligations
which can span across multiple phases of a project and are generally set forth in the contract as distinct milestones. The majority of
construction design-build contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services
is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Some contracts have multiple performance
obligations, most commonly due to the contract covering multiple phases of the project life cycle (design and construction).
The transaction price for service contracts and construction design-build
contracts is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied.
When there are multiple performance obligations under the same service contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance
obligation based on the standalone selling price. In general, payment is fixed at the time of the contract and are not subject to discounts,
incentives, payment bonuses, credits, and penalties, unless negotiated in an amendment.
F- 16
When establishing the selling
price to the customer, the Company uses various observable inputs. For equipment systems, the stand-alone selling price is determined
by forecasting the expected costs of the products, and then adding in the appropriate margins established by the contract. For service
revenues and construction design-build revenues, the Company estimates the selling price by reference to certain physical characteristics
of the project, which include the facility size, the complexity of the design, and the mechanical systems involved, which are indicative
of the scope and complexity of those services. Significant judgments are typically not required with respect to the determination of the
transaction price based on the nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
Accordingly, the Company does not consider estimates of variable consideration to be constrained. Warranty in respect of equipment are
directly handled by the manufacturers of the equipment and company does not incur any warranty cost. There are no warranties in respect of the other segments of operations.
The Company recognizes equipment
systems, services, and construction design-build revenues when the performance obligation with the customer is satisfied. For satisfaction
of equipment system revenues the control of the promised good happens either on shipment or on delivery of goods at the delivery point
identified by the customer, the Company recognizes revenue when the shipment is made unless a notice of non delivery is received from
the customer within the agreed time. For service revenues, satisfaction occurs as the services related to the distinct performance obligations
are rendered or completed in exchange for consideration in an amount for which the Company is entitled. The time period between recognition
and satisfaction of performance obligations is generally within the same reporting period; thus, there are no material unsatisfied or
partially unsatisfied performance obligations for product or service revenues at the end of the reporting period.
Construction
design-build revenues are recognized as the Company’s obligations are satisfied over time, using the ratio of project costs incurred
to estimated total costs for each contract because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer as all of the work is performed
at the customer’s site and, therefore, the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed. This continuous transfer of
control to the customer is further supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract
for convenience, pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. This cost-to-cost
measure is used for our construction design-build contracts because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress
on these contracts.
Contract
modifications through change orders, claims and incentives are routine in the performance of the Company’s construction design-build
contracts to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are not distinct
from the existing contract due to the significant integration of services provided in the contract and are accounted for as a modification
of the existing contract and performance obligation. Either the Company or its customers may initiate change orders, which may include
changes in specifications or designs, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the
work. Change orders that are unapproved as to both price and scope are evaluated as claims. The Company considers claims to be amounts
in excess of approved contract prices that the Company seeks to collect from its customers or others for customer-caused delays, errors
in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both scope and
price, or other causes of unanticipated additional contract costs.
The
timing of when the Company bills customers on long-term construction design-build contracts is generally dependent upon agreed-upon contractual
terms, which may include milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. When
as a result of contingencies, billings cannot occur until after the related revenue has been recognized; the result is unbilled revenue,
which is included in contract assets. Additionally, the Company may receive advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized;
the result is deferred revenue, which is included in contract liabilities. Retainage subject to conditions other than the passage of
time are included in contract assets and contract liabilities. The payment terms are predominantly based on a standard credit period of 30 days on submission of the proof of
completion of work. The contract in certain cases also provides for advances being received which are dealt with in the manner discussed
herein.
Contract
assets represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts paid or payable (contract receivables) to the Company on uncompleted contracts.
Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to perform on uncompleted contracts with customers for which the Company
has received payment or for which contract receivables are outstanding.

For
equipment systems contracts, the Company’s predominant policy is to collect deposits from customers at the beginning of the contract
and the balance of the contract payment prior to shipping. The Company does, in some cases, collect deposits or retainers as down payments
on service contracts. Consumable products orders may be paid for in advance of shipment or for recurring customers with credit, payment
terms of 30 days or less may be extended by the Company. Customer payments that have been collected prior to the performance obligation
being recognized are recorded as customer deposit liabilities on the balance sheet. When the performance obligation is satisfied and
all the criteria for revenue recognition are met, revenue is recognized. In certain situations when the customer has paid the deposit
and services have been performed but the customer chooses not to proceed with the contract, the Company is entitled to keep the deposit
and recognize revenue. Customer deposits are non-interest-bearing and do not accrue interest payable to customers.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $ 4,034,280 on contract assets arising from contracts
with customers primarily arising out of work having been completed and revenue recognized in line with the accounting policy
but the certainty of collection or right to adjust with advances received not established. The impairment was determined based on management’s assessment of the estimated recoverable amounts
considering the Company’s planned merger in the first quarter of 2026, which indicated that the carrying value of certain
contract assets was no longer recoverable. The impairment loss has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 340-40.
During the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company discontinued its service operations, including architectural and engineering design services, as part of the disposition
and wind-down of its Services segment. As a result, service revenues are not anticipated in future periods. Refer to Note 4 – Discontinued
Operations for further details.
NOTE
4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company completed the disposition and wind-down of its discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities
previously classified as discontinued operations have been fully disposed of and are no longer reflected on the consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, assets
of discontinued operations consisted of current assets of $ 2,319,074 and non-current assets of $ 2,322,308 . Liabilities of discontinued
operations consisted of current liabilities of $ 1,837,709 and non-current liabilities of $ 690,444 .
The results of operations,
including any gain or loss on disposal, and cash flows of the discontinued operations have been reported separately in the consolidated
financial statements for all periods presented in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations .
On
August 27, 2025, the Company announced that certain subsidiaries (the “Seller Parties”) of the Company entered into a
Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “August 27 Purchase Agreement”) with 2WR Holdco, LLC (the “Buyer”).
Pursuant to the August 27 Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding shares of
stock of 2WR of Georgia, Inc. (“2WRGA”) and certain assets of other subsidiaries (2WR Colorado “2WRCO”, 2WR
Missippi “2WRMS”) of the Company relating to those entities’ business of providing commercial, industrial and
municipal architectural and construction administration services for projects not involving CEA, with such CEA business being
retained by the Company.
F- 18
The
total purchase price for the transaction was $ 2,000,000 .
The
Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants, and mutual indemnification provisions between the parties.
The agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions applicable to the Seller Parties for a specified period following
the closing. The Company recorded the disposition in the third quarter of 2025.
In connection with the August 27, 2025 Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement,
2WR Holdco, LLC also acquired the customer list of 2WR of Colorado, Inc. for $ 143,000 in cash.
In connection with the
sales described above, the Company discontinued the operations of the remaining Services companies - Urban Grow Engineering
“UGENG”. The table below outlines the loss (gain) on sale or discontinuation of the Services companies comprising of

Line of Credit with Gemini Finance Corp.
On December 13, 2023, UG Construction,
Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc.(“Emarald”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an interest
only asset based revolving Loan Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Lender”) pursuant
to which Lender extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $ 10,000,000 , to be used to assist UG Construction
and the Company with cash management. Lender will consider requests for advances under the Line of Credit, which Lender may accept or
reject in its discretion, until September 12, 2024 (the “Initial Term”), sutbject to an automatic extension for an additional
nine-month term until May 12, 2025, provided that UG Construction is in compliance with all the terms of the applicable loan documents
and Lender has not sent a written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to expiration of the Initial Term. The Line of Credit contains
standard events of default and representations and warranties by UG Construction and the Lender and the Company have entered into a Continuing
Guaranty pursuant to which the Company will guarantee repayment of the loans associated with the Line of Credit (the “Guaranty Agreement”).
F- 22
Loans
made under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note - Revolving issued by UG Construction to the Lender (the
“Promissory Note”), and each draw on the Promissory Note shall be due and payable on or before 180 days after such draw is
funded to UG Construction; provided that, such draw is also subject to a mandatory prepayment upon UG Construction’s receipt of
payment for any invoice previously submitted and approved for financing by Lender. Lender will receive a security interest in UG Construction’s
Collateral (as defined in the “Security Agreement” entered into as part of the Line of Credit). The Promissory Note earns
interest at a monthly rate of one and seventy-five hundredth percent ( 1.75 %).
In
connection with entering in the Line of Credit, the Company agreed to issue to Bancroft Capital, LLC (the “Placement Agent”)
cash and warrant compensation in two separate tranches, the first being earned upon closing of the Line of Credit and the remainder of
which would be due if and when UG Construction draws more than $ 4,500,000 from the Line of Credit. Both instances are detailed as follows:
1. At closing of the Line of Credit, the Placement Agent earned a cash fee of $ 200,000 . In addition to the cash fee, the Company issued to the Placement Agent or its designees, $ 200,000 worth of warrants (the “Placement Agent’s Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 110 % of the daily volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq exchange for a period consisting of ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and inclusive of the trading day of the Closing. The Placement Agent’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six (6) months from the date of issuance. The Placement Agent’s Warrants provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights), cashless exercise and customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits) and anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.).
2. If and when Emerald draws more than $ 4,500,000 from the Line of Credit, the Placement Agent will earn an additional cash fee of $ 200,000 , and an additional $ 200,000 worth of Placement Agent’s Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 110 % of the daily volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq exchange for a period consisting of ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and inclusive of the trading day of the date that the draws exceeding $ 4,500,000 were to take place.
Line
of Credit Amendment – On March 18, 2025, UG Construction entered into an agreement with the “Lender”) to amend the
terms of the original Loan Agreement and Promissory Note and waiver (the “Amendment”) between UG Construction and the Lender.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lender waived any potential or perceived events of default arising under certain circumstances, which
events did not constitute specified events of default under the Promissory Note or the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the
Promissory Note was amended to provide that (i) the term during which the Lender may consider advances under the Loan Agreement has been
extended to January 1, 2026, and (ii) the interest applied on the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note will accrue interest
at a monthly rate of 1.75 %, and all accrued by unpaid interest shall be paid to the Lender on the first business day of each month for
the prior month. The Amendment also amended the Loan Agreement to require monthly reporting of certain accounts receivable and to include
a covenant that such accounts receivable equal or exceed 125 % of the sum of the total amount drawn down under the Promissory Note, plus
outstanding interest, as of the applicable measurement date. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company issued to
the Lender, as an amendment fee, 150,000 share of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, or 6,000 shares after
giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Fee Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001
per share. This resulted in an expense of $ 109,500 , which is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of
operations.
F- 23
Between
October and December 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Gemini to extinguish the outstanding debt through the
issuance of equity in three tranches:
● Tranche 1 (October 2025): 28,000 shares issued for total consideration of $ 159,500
● Tranche 2 (November 2025): 28,000 shares issued for total consideration of $ 159,500
● Tranche 3 (December 2025): 28,000 shares issued with no stated consideration ($ 0 )
Total
shares issued under the settlement agreement were 84,000 shares, with aggregate consideration of $ 319,000 .
The
Company accounted for these transactions in accordance with ASC 470-50-40. The debt was derecognized and replaced with equity based on
the fair value of the shares issued (or the carrying value of the debt, if more reliably measurable).
The transactions were measured
at the fair value of the equity instruments issued (shares of common stock at the quoted market price on the date of issuance) per ASC
470-50-40. The difference between the carrying amount of the debt extinguished and the fair value of equity issued was recognized as a
gain or loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations.

Gemini
Loan Agreement Amendment and Default
On
December 13, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary UG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“UG Construction”)
entered into (i) an interest only asset based revolving loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Gemini”)
pursuant to which Gemini extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $ 10,000,000 , to be used to assist
UG Construction and us with cash management, and (ii) a Secured Promissory Note - Revolving issued by UG Construction to Gemini (the
“Promissory Note”). Pursuant to the Promissory Note, each draw was due and payable on or before 180 days after such draw
is funded to UG Construction, subject to a mandatory pre-payment upon UG Construction’s receipt of payment for any invoice previously
submitted and approved for financing by Gemini.
On
March 18, 2025, UG Construction entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note and waiver with Gemini (the “Amendment”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, Gemini waived any potential or perceived events of default arising under certain circumstances, which events
did not constitute specified events of default under the Promissory Note or the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Amendment, the Promissory Note was amended to provide that (i) the term during which Gemini may consider advances under the Loan
Agreement has been extended to January 1, 2026, and (ii) the interest applied on the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note
will accrue interest at an annual rate of 12 %, and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to Gemini on the first business day
of each month for the prior month. The Amendment also amended the Loan Agreement to require monthly reporting of certain accounts receivable
and to include a covenant that such accounts receivable equal or exceed 125 % of the sum of the total amount drawn down under the Promissory
Note, plus outstanding interest, as of the applicable measurement date. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, we issued
to Gemini, as an amendment fee, 150,000 shares of our common stock, or 6,000 shares after giving effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split.
On
July 31, 2025, Gemini issued a notice of default to UG Construction claiming that UG Construction was in default under the line
of credit due to a failure to submit receivables calculations and failing to maintain sufficient eligible accounts and to forward accounts
receivable. The notice indicated that the remaining outstanding amount due under the line of credit of approximately $ 1.76 million was
immediately due and payable with default of 1 % per week accruing from the June 16, 2025 date of default claimed by Gemini, and that
Gemini intended to pursue legal action if full payment was not received by August 8, 2025.
On August 21, 2025, we received
a notification from Gemini stating that Gemini would proceed with a foreclosure and private sale of substantially all of the assets of
UG Construction in an Article 9 sale process, pursuant to Section 9601 et seq. of the California Commercial Code (the “Asset Sale”).
The Asset Sale consisting of the receivables occurred on September 4, 2025, at which Gemini acquired the assets constituting the collateral
under the line of credit for $ 450,000 . The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of UG Construction transferred in connection
with the Asset Sale:

On
August 29, 2025, Gemini commenced a lawsuit captioned Gemini Finance Corp. v. UG Construction, Inc. et al. , case number 25CV2259
W SBC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, which lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) included us and
certain of our officers as defendants and pursuant to which Gemini claimed it was owed $ 1,486,189 (the “Claim Amount”).
On
September 26, 2025, we entered into a Settlement and Mutual General Release (the “Gemini Settlement Agreement”) with Gemini.
Pursuant to the terms of the Gemini Settlement Agreement, among other things, we agreed to file a joint motion requesting an expedited
fairness hearing under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which motion was
filed on September 30, 2025. Following such fairness hearing, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions and requirements
of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, we agreed to issue to Gemini shares of our common stock that, upon sale by Gemini, would result
in net proceeds to Gemini equal to the Claim Amount, provided that Gemini shall at no time be issued shares if it would beneficially
own more than 4.99 % of our common stock, and the aggregate number of shares issued to Gemini may not exceed 19.99 % of our outstanding
common stock as of immediately prior to the signing of the Gemini Settlement Agreement to the extent required by Nasdaq Listing Rule
5635. Additionally, Gemini agreed to use its best efforts to not sell common stock exceeding 10 % of our daily volume on any given trading
day. Upon the issuance of the last tranche of shares under the Gemini Settlement Agreement, Gemini will dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice.
The Gemini Settlement Agreement also included a customary mutual release of claims by the parties. The fairness hearing occurred on October
14, 2025.

Grow
Hill Default
On
October 1, 2024, we entered into an asset-based term Loan Agreement with Grow Hill, LLC (“Grow Hill”) pursuant to which Grow
Hill extended to us a secured loan of $ 2,100,000 with an origination fee of $ 100,000 , which was added to the amount of the loan. The
loan is evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note issued by us to Grow Hill. Grow Hill received a security interest in certain of our assets
pursuant to a security agreement between us and Grow Hill (the “Security Agreement”), which does not include any assets of
our subsidiaries.
On October 14, 2025, we received service of process for a lawsuit filed
by Grow Hill against us in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (Case No. 2025CV33546) alleging breach of contract
and fraud. Pursuant to the complaint, Grow Hill stated that we were in default under the Secured Promissory Note due to a failure to timely
make payments, and elected to accelerate all amounts due under the Secured Promissory Note, including a default fee equal to 1 % of the
outstanding principal amount. We are currently investigating available options to resolve the complaint and intend to vigorously defend
the allegation of fraud.
The Company has accrued the
outstanding note balance of $ 1,370,531 (net of warrant discount) as of December 31, 2025. The Company believes additional losses beyond
the accrued amount are reasonably possible but not probable under ASC 450-20. No additional accrual has been recorded for the fraud allegation.
Subsequent to year-end, the Company is in discussions for the Grow Hill debt to be acquired by a third party, which is expected to resolve
the litigation.
J
Brrothers Settlement
On
August 8, 2025, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with J Brrothers LLC (“J
Brrothers”) and Herb-a-More LLC relating to a dispute arising from amounts due for certain heating, ventilation and air conditioning
equipment. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, among other things, we issued a promissory note to J Brrothers with an
original principal amount of $ 395,556 and agreed to issued 150,000 unregistered shares of our common stock, or 6,000 shares after giving
effect to a 1-for-25 reverse stock split to J Brrothers. The note accrues simple interest at an annual rate of 12 % and has a maturity
date of March 18, 2026 . The note must be repaid in monthly installments over a period of eight months, with the first seven payments
being $ 50,000 per month and the final monthly payment being $ 64,047 . Any remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest will become
due and payable on the maturity date, and the note may be prepaid without penalty. The note includes customary representations and warranties,
customary events of default and a 17 % default interest rate.

Cullens - Complaint Filed & Company
Filed Answer and Counter Suit
On December 25, 2025, Christopher
W. Cullens (“Mr. Cullens”) filed a complaint against urban-gro, Inc. (“UG”) and Bradley Nattrass (“Mr. Nattrass”),
an individual, in District Court, Boulder County, State of CO (Case 2025CV031164). The complaint alleged that UG Mr.
Cullens had earned and was vested in commissions totaling $ 650,000 which, pursuant to the Colorado Wage Claim Act ("CWA"), were
earned, vested, and determinable wages that were due and payable immediately upon his discharge. Further, the complaint alleged
that Mr. Cullens is entitled to a severance package that includes nine (9) months of his base salary and nine (9) months of COBRA premium
payments.
On March 30, 2026, the Defendants
filed an answer to the complaint, responding that they either deny the allegations in the complaint, or lack sufficient information
or knowledge to admit or deny the allegations as “the Agreement” is vague and undefined in the Complaint.
On March 30, 2026, UG filed
a counter suit against Mr. Cullens (“Counterclaim Defendant”) alleging Breach of Contract, Breach of the Implied
Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, and (Unjust Enrichment). On or about March 13, 2022, UG entered into the Acquisition Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., Emerald Construction Management, Inc., Christopher Cullens, Charles Cullens, and
Green Stone Property LLC (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Acquisition Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
of urban gro’s business relationship with Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., Emerald Construction Management, Inc., Christopher Cullens,
Charles Cullens, and Green Stone Property LLC. Under Article VIII of the Acquisition Agreement Indemnification, Emerald Merger Sub,
Inc., Emerald Construction Management, Inc., Christopher Cullens, Charles Cullens, and Green Stone Property LLC will indemnify and hold
urban gro harmless under prescribed. On or about August 10, 2023, UG and Counterclaim Defendant entered into the Amended and
Restated Indemnification Claim Agreement, and effective the date of this counter suit, the Defendant failed to pay UG as required
under the Amended Indemnification Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement. UG has requested that the court award urban gro
its losses and damages, costs, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to the Lease and otherwise
allowed under Colorado law, in addition to any other relief this Court deems proper.

Foreign
Exchange Risk
Although
our revenues and expenses are expected to be predominantly denominated in United States dollars, we may be exposed to currency exchange
fluctuations. Recent events in the global financial markets have been coupled with increased volatility in the currency markets. Fluctuations
in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro, and the currency of other regions in which we may operate
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We may, in the future, establish a program
to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure with the objective of minimizing the impact of adverse foreign currency exchange
movements. However, even if we develop a hedging program, it may not mitigate currency risks.
NOTE
14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024 was $ 826,471 and $ 1,426,877 respectively, all of which relates to RSU vestings and board grants. No compensation expense was
recognized from stock option activity during either year, as no options were granted or exercised in 2025 or 2024.” During the year
ended December 31, 2025, 20,649 RSUs vested and were issued to employees and directors. During the year ended December 31, 2024,
19,101 RSUs vested and were issued to employees and directors. No cash flow effects are anticipated for stock grants.
The Company’s shareholders approved the 2021 Omnibus Stock Incentive
Plan, as amended (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, stock grants
and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company to reward and attract employees and compensate the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) and vendors when applicable, up to an aggregate 1,100,000 authorized shares of common stock.
In 2023, an additional 1,200,000 shares were authorized by the shareholders. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the Company’s
Board. Grants of RSUs under the Omnibus Incentive Plan are valued at no less than the market price of the stock on the date of grant.
The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the estimated market value of the underlying
common stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term of the options, risk-free interest rate and expected volatility
of the price of the underlying common stock of 100 %. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when estimating the value of
stock options with the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the assumptions used are moderately judgmental. Stock grants and stock options
are sometimes offered as part of an employment offer package, to ensure continuity of service or as a reward for performance. Stock grants
and stock options typically require a 1 to 3 year period of continued employment or service performance before the stock grant of RSUs
or stock option vests.

NOTE
16 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method prescribed in ASC 740, “Accounting for Income
Taxes.” The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, which provides recognition criteria and a related measurement
model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10-25 requires that a position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would
be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using
a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 % likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. The Company had no tax positions relating to open income tax returns that were considered to be uncertain.
F- 32
The
Company has experienced cumulative losses for both book and tax purposes since inception. The potential future recovery of any tax assets
that the Company may be entitled to due to these accumulated losses is uncertain and any tax assets that that the Company may be entitled
to have been fully reserved based on management’s current estimates. Management intends to continue maintaining a full valuation
allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion
of these allowances.
The

At December 31, 2025,
the Company had $ 76.7 million of federal net operating loss which are set to expire beginning in 2037. The Internal Revenue Code
contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss carryovers available to be used in any year if certain events occur, including
significant changes in ownership interest.
Below
is a table showing the gross net operating loss carryovers available at December 31, 2025 and their respective expiration:

In assessing the realizability
of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As the Company evaluate the reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, and after consideration
of the history of operating losses, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of net deferred
tax assets and, accordingly, has established a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by
$ 3.5 million during 2025.
F- 34
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company
does not believe it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The
Company monitors proposed and issued tax law, regulations, and cases to determine the potential impact of uncertain income tax positions.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had not identified any potential subsequent events that would have a material impact on unrecognized
income tax benefits within the next twelve months.
Federal
and State tax returns are open for examination for the tax years beginning December 31, 2017 for three years and four years from the
date of utilization of any net loss carryforwards.
Realization
of operating loss carryforwards to offset future operating income for tax purposes are subject to various limitations including change
of ownership and current year taxable income percentage limitations. The Company has no credit carryforwards for tax purposes.
The
Company’s primary filing jurisdictions are the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. Due to the Company’s net operating
loss carryforwards, the Company’s income tax returns remain subject to examination by federal, foreign and most state taxing authorities
for all tax years.

– SEGMENTS
An
operating segment is defined as a component of a reporting entity that engages in business activities from which it recognizes revenues
and incurs expenses with discrete financial information available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)
of the operating segment. The CODM utilizes this financial information to decide how to allocate resources to, and in assessing performance
of, the operating segment. Management evaluates segment performance primarily based on operating segment gross profit.
The
Company has identified the following continuing operating segments for fiscal year 2025. The Services segment
was classified as discontinued operations effective August 27, 2025 and its results have been excluded from the segment disclosures below.
See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations for further detail.

Nasdaq
Compliance
On

of stockholders within twelve months from the Company’s prior fiscal year end as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), the resulting
non-compliance would be an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities. The Panel requested that the Company present
its views in writing by January 9, 2026. On January 13, 2026 the Panel notified the Company that it had granted a further extension to
regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Annual Meeting Requirement, and the Timely Filing Requirement

determined by the Board of Directors; and (iii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares (the number of authorized shares of common stock is

ELOC
Purchase Agreement
On
February 4, 2026, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) with
Hudson Global Ventures, LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct
the Investor to purchase up to $ 25,000,000 of the Company’s common stock (the “ELOC Shares”) upon satisfaction
of certain terms and conditions contained in the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Sales of the ELOC Shares, if any, are subject to certain limitations,
and may occur from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion over the approximately 24-month period commencing on the date
of execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, unless the ELOC Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms.
The
Investor has no right to require any sales by the Company but is obligated to make purchases at the Company’s direction subject
to certain conditions. Each purchase must involve an aggregate amount of shares of the Company’s common stock of at least $ 25,000 but
not exceeding the lesser of (i) $ 2,000,000 or (ii) 200 % of the average daily trading volume of the common stock during the
three trading days immediately before the date the Company directs the Investor to purchase the shares of common stock (the “Put
Notice Date”).
The
purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the ELOC Shares will be the lesser of (i) ninety percent ( 90 %) of the average of the three
lowest traded prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the Put Notice
(as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) and (ii) ninety percent ( 90 %) of the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock
on any trading day during the period beginning on the date of delivery of the Put Notice and continuing through the date that is three
trading days immediately following the Clearing Date (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement).
Actual
sales of ELOC Shares to the Investor from time to time will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, market conditions,
the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for
the Company and its operations. The net proceeds that the Company may receive under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, cannot be determined
at this time, since the amount will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells ELOC Shares to the Investor, the Company’s
ability to meet the conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the other limitations, terms and conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement,
and any impacts of the beneficial ownership limitation (described below).
As
consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Investor certain
common stock purchase warrant for the purchase of 55,556 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $ 12.50 per
share, subject to adjustment (the “Warrant”). Under the Warrant, the Investor may exercise the Warrant during the period
commencing on February 4, 2026 and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the date that is five (5) years after February 4, 2026.
In addition, the Company will pay up to $ 20,000 to the Investor’s legal counsel for the Investor’s expenses relating
to the preparation of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
F- 39
The
ELOC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties.
The Company
must obtain stockholder approval to issue an aggregate number of shares of common stock to the Investor, under the ELOC Purchase Agreement,
in excess of 136,845 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered a registration rights agreement with the Investor on February 4,
2026 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file with
the SEC a registration statement for the resale by the Investor of a specified number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable
according to the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The Company agreed to file such registration statement within forty-five (45) days of the execution
of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and to file one or more additional registration statements if necessary.
Unless
earlier terminated as provided in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the ELOC Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earliest
to occur of: (i) twenty-four (24) months after the execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, (ii) the date on which the Investor shall
have purchased the maximum amount of ELOC Shares issuable under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, or (iii) the effective date of any written
notice of termination delivered pursuant to the terms of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant
to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, as long as the ELOC Purchase Agreement is effective, the Company agreed not, without the prior written
consent of the Investor, to enter into an agreement whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to an investor
or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula. Additionally, the Company agreed, without the prior
written consent of the Investor, not to (i) issue or sell any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable
for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock (a) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or
other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after
the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (b) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) issues securities at
a future determined price (a “Variable Rate Transaction”), provided, however, that an Equity Line of Credit shall not be
deemed to be a Variable Rate Transaction.
In
connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company has reserved 200,000 shares of Common Stock with the Transfer Agent
for issuance in connection with a Put Notice and/or an Exercise Notice. Such Reserve Shares do not represent issued or outstanding shares
and are not being registered for resale pursuant to this registration statement.
The
ELOC Purchase Agreement and Warrant were executed prior to the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split effected on February 9, 2026.
All share numbers and per-share prices in this Current Report have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. Under the terms
of the Warrant, the exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise automatically adjusted upon the reverse stock split.

equal to the aggregate and actual amount of interest that would be paid through the Maturity Date (the “Prepayment Fee”);
provided however that, if the Company makes a prepayment within 90 calendar days after the Effective Date, the Company will receive the
discounted Prepayment Fee that is included in Exhibit E to the Loan Agreement. The Loan contains standard events of default and representations
