CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements related to future events, challenges we may face, business strategy,
future performance, future operations, backlog, financial position, estimated or projected revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects,
plans and objectives of management. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “plan,”
“continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “predict,”
“potential,” “targeting,” “intend,” “could,” “might,” “should,”
“believe,” “outlook” and variations of such words or their negative and similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s belief,
based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. These statements involve estimates, assumptions,
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed
in such forward-looking statements. When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider the risk factors and other cautionary
statements described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained
in this report are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements
should not be unduly relied upon. Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed
in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
●
risks related to our operating strategy;
●
competition for projects in our markets;
●
our ability to predict and respond to new laws and governmental regulatory actions affecting our business, including foreign laws and governmental regulation;
●
our ability to successfully develop new and/or enhancements to our product offerings and develop a product mix to meet demand;
●
our ability to meet or exceed market expectations from analysts;
●
unfavorable economic conditions, increases in interest rates and restrictive financing markets that may cause customers to cancel contracts reflected in our backlog or cause sales to decrease;
●
our ability to successfully identify, manage and integrate acquisitions;
●
our ability to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us;
●
climate change and related laws and regulations;
●
our ability to manage our supply chain in a manner that ensures that we are able to obtain adequate raw materials, equipment and essential supplies in a timely manner and at favorable prices;
●
our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
●
risks associated with concentration of a large portion of our business from a relatively small number of key clients/customers and the effect a loss of a key client/customer could have on our business;
●
risks associated with customers or suppliers not fulfilling contracts;
●
risks associated with reliance on key suppliers and risks such suppliers could change incentive programs that negatively affect our returns;
●
the impact of inflation on costs of labor, raw materials and other items that are critical to our business;
●
property damage and other claims and insurance coverage issues;
●
the outcome of litigation
or disputes;
●
risks related to our information technology systems and infrastructure, including cybersecurity incidents;
●
our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and
●
other events outside of our control.
These factors are not necessarily
all of the important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date on which any such statement
is made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult
any future disclosures we make on related subjects in future reports to the SEC.

Acquisitions
Emerald
On
April 29, 2022 (the “Emerald Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the
“Emerald Acquisition”) of Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“Emerald”) from its shareholders
(collectively, the “Emerald Sellers”) through a forward merger into a wholly owned subsidiary of urban-gro, which has
subsequently changed its name post-merger to Emerald Construction Management, Inc. The aggregate initial purchase price for the
Emerald Acquisition was $ 7.8
million (the “Initial Emerald Purchase Price”), which represented $ 7.0
million in initial purchase price and an estimated $ 0.8
million in working capital adjustments.
The
Initial Emerald Purchase Price was payable as follows: $ 3.3 million
in cash to the Emerald Sellers, net of satisfaction of Emerald’s outstanding debt of approximately $ 0.4 million;
and 283,515 shares
of the Company’s common stock valued at $ 2.5 million
issued to the Emerald Sellers. The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued at closing was determined based
upon the daily volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading
days prior to the signing date of the Emerald Acquisition Agreement.
The Emerald Sellers may earn up
to $ 2.0
million of contingent consideration (the “Emerald
Contingent Consideration”) based on the performance of Emerald during the 2-year period following the Emerald Closing Date. The
Emerald Contingent Consideration is payable quarterly in shares of the Company’s common stock for a two-year period and will be
equal to 35% of Emerald’s Quarterly Gross Profit (as defined in the Emerald Acquisition Agreement). The value of such shares will
be determined based upon the VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the end of the applicable quarter
the Quarterly Gross Profit is calculated. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Emerald as follows:

2WR
On
June 28, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, urban-gro Architect Holdings, LLC (the “Buyer”), and the 2WRCO
Shareholders, the 2WRGA Shareholders, the MJ12 Shareholders, and the 2WRMS Shareholders (collectively, the “2WR Sellers”),
and Sam Andras, an individual entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2WR Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Buyer would purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of 2WR of Colorado, Inc.,
a Colorado corporation (“2WRCO”), 2WR of Georgia, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“2WRGA”), MJ12 Design Studio,
Inc., a Colorado corporation (“MJ12”) (collectively, the “2WR Purchased Shares”) from the 2WR Sellers. In connection
with the acquisition of the 2WR Purchased Shares, the Buyer entered into an affiliate relationship with 2WR of Mississippi, P.C., a Mississippi
professional corporation (“2WRMS” and together with 2WRCO, 2WRGA and MJ12, the “2WR Entities”). The transaction
closed on July 30, 2021. The aggregate initial purchase price for the 2WR Purchased Shares was $ 10.5 million (the “2WR Purchase Price”),
which represented $ 9.1 million in purchase price and an estimated $ 1.4 million in working capital adjustments.
9
The
2WR Purchased Shares were payable as follows: $ 6.5 million in cash, net of the satisfaction of 2WR’s outstanding debt of $ 0.5 million;
and 202,066 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $ 2.0 million issued to the 2WR Sellers (the “2WR Closing Payment
Shares”). The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued at closing was determined based upon the daily VWAP
of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the signing date of the 2WR Purchase Agreement.
The 2WR Purchase Agreement provides
for additional earnout payments (“2WR Earnout Payments”) to the 2WR Sellers of up to an aggregate amount of $ 2.0 million,
payable in cash or unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock in the Buyer’s sole discretion. The
2WR Earnout Payments are payable quarterly for a two-year period and will be equal to 20% of the 2WR Entities’ quarterly gross
profit (as defined in the 2WR Purchase Agreement) . The value of the 2WR Closing Payment Shares was determined based upon the
VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the issuance of such shares. If paid in shares, the value
of 2WR Earnout Payments will be determined based upon the VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to
the end of the applicable quarter. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the 2WR Entities as follows:

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The
Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for
condensed financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the Company’s opinion, include
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed
consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), condensed consolidated
statements of shareholders’ equity (deficit) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The
results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that
may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Significant
Accounting Policies
For
a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no material changes made
to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 condensed
consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include: estimated revenues earned under construction design-build contracts; estimated useful lives and potential
impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill; inventory write offs; allowance for deferred tax assets; and allowance for
bad debt.
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
the reported results of operations.
Balance
Sheet Classifications
The
Company includes in current assets and liabilities the following amounts that are in connection with construction contracts that may
extend beyond one year: contract assets and contract liabilities (including retainage invoiced to customers contingent upon anything
other than the passage of time), capitalized costs to fulfill contracts, retainage payable to sub-contractors and accrued losses on uncompleted
contracts. A one-year time period is used to classify all other current assets and liabilities when not otherwise prescribed by the applicable
accounting principles.
11
Contract
Assets and Liabilities
The
timing of when the Company bills customers on long-term construction 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.
Retainages subject to conditions other
than the passage of time are included in contract assets and contract liabilities.
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.
The
following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of September 30,
2022:

Foreign
Exchange Risk
Although
the Company’s revenues and expenses are expected to be predominantly denominated in United States dollars, the Company 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 the Company may operate may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating
results. The Company may, in the future, establish a program to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposure with
the objective of minimizing the impact of adverse foreign currency exchange movements. However, even if the Company develops a hedging
program, there can be no assurance that it will effectively mitigate currency risks.

12 – BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
During
2021, the Company purchased lights from one of its international vendors to fulfill an order for a major customer. Subsequent to the
sale, delivery and installation of the lights, the customer noted the lights were not performing as the manufacturer had stipulated.
The Company performed tests of the lights and confirmed the performance metrics did not meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
The Company worked with the customer to determine a lighting solution of replacement lights, sourced from the vendor, that would meet
their needs. The customer has been a key customer to the Company and the Company expects to continue to do significant business with
the customer in the future. In order to immediately satisfy the customer in this matter, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company
agreed to supply the replacement lighting solution to the customer at the Company’s expense while the Company continues to work
with the vendor to resolve the original defective lighting issue, including, claims for reimbursement of the expense.
During
the three months ended and at September 30, 2022, the Company delivered $ 1.3
million of replacement lighting equipment and accrued an additional $ 2.0
million of expense for the remaining order total for shipments delivered in October 2022. The total business development expense
recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $ 3.3
million. This expense is a one-time expense.
NOTE
13 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company has experienced losses for both book and tax purposes since inception. The deferred income tax benefit for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2022 relates to the reduction in the deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of the
intangible assets from the acquisitions of the Emerald and 2WR Entities.
NOTE
14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated events and transaction occurring subsequent to September 30, 2022 up to the date of this filing of these condensed
consolidated financial statements. These statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation.
On
October 10, 2022, the Company signed a binding term sheet to acquire substantially all of the operating assets of Dawson Van Orden,

subsidiary of the Company. The Company funded the $ 7.3
million purchase price, which includes a contingent consideration of up to $ 1.1
million paid in cash or equity at the Company’s discretion, with $ 1.3
million in cash, a promissory note of $ 3.8
million to be paid out over four quarters, and $ 1.1
million of its common stock at a pre-set price of $ 4
per share.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.
See also “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3 of this Report.
Overview
and History
urban-gro,
Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “urban-gro”) is an integrated
professional services and design-build firm. We offer 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 drive our team to provide exceptional customer experiences.
On October 31, 2022, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Dawson Van Order, Inc, an engineering
firm. On
April 29, 2022, we acquired Emerald Construction Management, a general contracting and construction management firm. On July 30, 2021,
we acquired three architecture design firms (2WR Colorado, Inc, 2WR Georgia, Inc. and MJ12 Design Studios, Inc., collectively the “2WR
Entities”) from their shareholders. The 2WR Entities were under common ownership and management. We design and build high performance
facilities in several sectors. Within the CEA sector, we design these facilities and while building them, we then integrate complex environmental
equipment systems into them. Through this work, we create 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, procurement, and
equipment integration provides a single point of accountability across all aspects of indoor growing operations. We also help 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 establish facilities that allow clients to manage, operate and perform at the highest level
throughout their entire cultivation lifecycle once they are up and running.
We
aim to work with our clients in all sectors from inception of their project in a way that provides value throughout the life of their
facility. We are a trusted partner and advisor to our clients and offer a complete set of design, engineering, construction management,
and managed services. Within the CEA sector, this is complemented by a vetted suite of select cultivation equipment systems. We provide
these services in a turnkey fashion, operating as a single point of responsibility for our clients, or they can pick and choose from
the variety of services we offer. Outlined below is an example of a complete project that demonstrate how we provide value to our clients

Strategic
Vendor Relationships with Premier Manufacturers
Historically,
the majority of our clients are commercial CEA cultivators. However, through our acquisitions we have seen our client base across the
industrial, healthcare, and other commercial sectors grow as well. We believe one of the key points of our differentiation that clients
value is the depth of experience of our employees and our Company. We currently employ approximately
140 individu als, inclusive of the DVO acquisition. Approximately two-thirds of our employees are considered experts in their areas
of focus, and our team includes Designers (Architects, Interior Designers, Cultivation Space Planners), Professional Engineers (Mechanical,
Electrical, Plumbing), Engineers (Controls, and Agricultural), Construction Managers (superintendents, supervisors, project managers)
and individuals with Masters Degrees in Plant Science, Horticulture, and Business Administration. As a company, we have worked on 1000s
of projects and well over 500 projects at indoor CEA facilities and believe that the experience of our team and Company provides clients
with the confidence that will proactively keep them from making common costly mistakes during the build out process that impacts operational
stages. Our expertise translates into clients saving time, money, and resources through expertise that they can leverage without having
to add headcount to their own operations. We provide this experience in addition to offering a platform of the highest quality equipment
systems that can be integrated holistically into our clients’ facilities.

Results
of Operations
Comparison
of Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
During
the three months ended September 30, 2022, we generated revenues of $12.4 million compared to revenues of $18.3 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 32%. This decrease in revenues is a result of the following changes in
individual revenue components:
●
Equipment
systems revenue decreased $12.6 million due to a reduction in capital equipment spending by customers;
●
Services revenue increased $1.4 million, primarily from the acquisition of the 2WR Entities;
●
Construction design-build revenue increased $5.4 million,
exclusively from the acquisition of Emerald; and
●
Consumable
product sales decreased $0.1 million.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2022, cost of revenues was $9.8 million compared to $14.0 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2021, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 30%. This decrease is directly attributable to the overall decrease in revenues indicated
above.
Gross
profit was $2.6 million (21% of revenues) during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $4.2 million (23% of revenue)
during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to an increase in
lower margin Construction design-build revenue offset by an increase in higher margin services revenue. Margins on equipment systems revenues did not materially impact the change in the overall gross profit percentages.
Operating
expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 126%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was due to a one-time $3.3 million increase in business development costs as
well as a $2.2 million increase in general and administrative operating expenses in part due to an increase in salary, marketing,
and travel expenses attributable to the acquisitions of the 2WR Entities and Emerald, a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based
compensation expense, primarily due to the elimination of unvested stock grants for employees no longer employed by the Company, and
a $0.2 million increase in intangible asset amortization due solely to the acquisitions of the 2WR Entities and
Emerald.
Non-operating
expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to non-operating expenses of $0.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.8 million. This was primarily due to a $1.7 million loss from the
impairment of the Edyza investment.
Deferred
income tax benefit increased by $0.1 million due to the acquisitions of the 2WR Entities and Emerald.
As
a result of the above, we incurred a net loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, or a net loss per share
of ($0.81), compared to net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, or a fully diluted net income per
share of $0.0.
Comparison
of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated revenues of $49.7 million compared to revenues of $43.2 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $6.5 million, or 15%. This increase in revenues is a result of the following changes
in individual revenue components:
●
Equipment systems revenue decreased $9.0 million primarily due to a decrease in capital equipment spending by our
customers;
●
Services
revenue increased $7.5 million due primarily to the acquisition of the 2WR Entities;
●
Construction
design-build revenue increased $8.3 million exclusively due to the acquisition of Emerald; and
●
Consumable product sales decreased $0.3 million.
21
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of revenues was $38.7 million compared to $33.3 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2021, an increase of $5.4 million, or 16%. This increase is directly attributable to the increase in revenues indicated above.
Gross profit was $11.0 million (22% of revenues) during the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $9.8 million (23% of revenue) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to an increase in lower margin construction design-build revenues offset by an increase
in higher margin services revenues. Margins on equipment systems revenues did not materially impact the change in the overall gross profit
percentages.
Operating
expenses increased by $11.3 million, or 121%, to $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $ 9.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This was due to a one-time $3.3 million increase in business development
costs as well as a $6.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to an increase in salary, marketing, and
travel expenses, in part related to the acquisitions of the 2WR Entities and Emerald, a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation
expense, primarily due to an increase in the number of total employees included under the plan, and a $0.7
million increase in intangible asset amortization from the acquisitions of Emerald and the 2WR Entities.
Non-operating
expense was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to non-operating expense of $0.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, a change of $1.0 million. Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to the elimination of debt. Interest income increased
by $0.2 million due to the interest earned on the XS Financial investment. The Company recorded a $1.7 million loss from the
write-down of the Edyza investment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the
Company incurred a $1.0 million gain from the forgiveness of the PPP Loan, a $0.8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, and
$0.6 million in interest expense related to the conversion of debt to equity at a discount to the offering price.
Deferred
income tax benefit increased by $0.3 million due to the acquisitions of the 2WR Entities and Emerald.
As
a result of the above, we incurred a net loss of $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, or a net loss per share
of ($1.05), compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, or a net loss per share of ($0.03).
NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
The
Company uses the supplemental financial measure of Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted
EBITDA”) as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and it is not a substitute for other measures prescribed by GAAP
such as net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, and cash flows from operating activities. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net
income (loss) attributable to urban-gro, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of certain operating and non-operating
expenses including, but not limited to, interest expense/income, income taxes/benefit, depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible
assets, impairment of investments, unrealized exchange losses, debt forgiveness and extinguishment, stock-based compensation expense,
and non-recurring legal and acquisition costs, that we do not believe reflect our core operating performance.
Our
board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. We believe that Adjusted
EBITDA assists us in comparing our operating performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results
the impact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance.

BACKLOG
Backlog
is a financial measure that generally reflects the dollar value of revenue that the Company expects to realize in the future. Although
backlog is not a term recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), it is a common
measure used by companies operating in our industries. We report backlog for the following revenue categories: (i) Equipment Systems;
(ii) Construction Design-Build; and (iii) Services. We define backlog for Equipment Systems and Services as signed contracts, with Equipment Systems contracts generally requiring a receipt of a customer deposit. Construction Design-Build backlog is comprised of construction projects once the contract is awarded
and to the extent we believe funding is probable. Our Construction Design/Build backlog consists of uncompleted work on contracts in
progress and contracts for which we have executed a contract but have not commenced the work. For uncompleted work on contracts in progress,
we include (i) executed change orders, (ii) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmation in the ordinary course
of business, and (iii) claims that we have made against our customers for which we have determined we have a legal basis under existing
contractual arrangements and as to which we consider collection to be probable.
Our
backlog as of September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 for each of our revenue categories is reflected
in the following table (in millions of $):

- Construction Design-Build revenue and backlog relate to the operations of Emerald which was acquired by the Company on April 29,
2022.
Historically,
the majority of our Equipment Systems and Services backlog has been retired and converted into revenue within two quarters. At September
30, 2022, we expected approximately 70% of our Construction Design-Build backlog to be completed in the next 12 months. At September 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 63% of total backlog.
23
Certain
Construction Design-Build contracts contain options that are exercisable at the discretion of our customer to award additional work to
us, without requiring us to go through an additional competitive bidding process. In addition, some customer contracts also contain task
orders that are signed under master contracts pursuant to which we perform work only when the customer awards specific task orders to
us.
Contracts in our Construction Design-Build backlog may be canceled or modified at the election of the customer. Many Construction Design-Build projects are added to
our contract backlog and completed within the same fiscal year and therefore may not be reflected in our beginning or quarter-end Construction
Design-Build backlog amounts.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $18.6 million, which represented a decrease of $16.0 million from December 31, 2021 due to the
following changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
●
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.0 million. This use of cash
is the net effect of the net loss of $11.2 million, offset by non-cash expenses of $4.4 million, and a reduction in net operating assets
and liabilities of $2.3 million. The $2.3 million reduction in net operating assets and liabilities is due to the net effects of an $11.4
million decrease in customer deposits, a $0.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $6.9 million decrease in prepayments
and other assets, and a $2.2 million decrease in accounts receivable. The decrease in accounts receivable includes $1.8 million recovered
from the bank wire fraud lawsuit.
●
Net
cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million, primarily from the acquisition of Emerald. We have no material commitments for
capital expenditures as of September 30, 2022.
●
Net
cash used in financing activities was $4.0 million, primarily due to the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock.
Inflation
Although
our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of
operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies,
refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September
30, 2022, there were no material changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
24
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We
are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this Item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and
Chief Financial Officer (“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 effective as of September 30, 2022,
at reasonable assurance levels.
We
believe that our financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
Inherent
Limitations – Our management team, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
will prevent all error 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 realities 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
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time, we become involved in or are threatened with legal disputes. While most of these disputes are not likely to have a material
effect on our business, financial condition, or operations, the following matters are deemed by the Company to be material either due
to the costs of litigation or the potential negative impacts to the Company should these matters not be resolved in our favor:
●

Green Theory – Emerald filed a lien and brought a suit in the Superior Court of Berkshire, Massachusetts to foreclose on the
lien against Great Green Theory Land, LLC and Great Green Theory Cultivation, LLC who are the owners of the land and a construction
project in Lee, Massachusetts. Emerald is claiming breach of contract and quantum merit against Great Green Theory for failure
to pay approximately $1.3 million in payment applications, of which approximately half of that amount is due and owed to subcontractors
on the project. Great Green Theory has filed counterclaims against Emerald claiming liquidated damages of approximately $1.0 million
for alleged unjustifiable delays on the project and alleging construction defects in the project. Two subcontractors on the project have brought suit against Emerald for non-payment to them of which Emerald has
not received payment from Great Green Theory.

Pullar
– urban-gro’s former Chief Financial Officer, George Pullar filed a suit in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado
against urban-gro and Bradley Nattrass, in his capacity as urban-gro’s CEO, claiming breach of fiduciary duty. urban-gro has
since been dismissed without prejudice from the suit. The remaining claim stems from a settlement agreement with Mr. Pullar and allegations
that Mr. Natrrass failed to share enough non-public material information about urban-gro’s plans for fundraising that would
have impacted Mr. Pullar’s decision to enter into the settlement agreement. urban-gro’s director and officer liability
insurance carrier has indicated coverage is available to Mr. Nattrass for this suit. We believe we have substantial defenses to the
claim asserted in this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend this action.
●
Crest
Ventures, LLC – The Company has been sued in a breach of contract case in the District Court for Arapahoe County, Colorado.
The allegations in the action are based on a claim that Crest Ventures, LLC is entitled to commission compensation on the February
2021 uplisting of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe we have substantial defenses to the claim asserted in
this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend this action.
●
Sunflower
Bank – The Company has filed a lawsuit against Sunflower Bank related to fraudulent wire transfers of approximately $5.1
million that were made from our accounts at Sunflower Bank in October 2021. As of the date of this Report, $1.8 million of these
funds have been returned to us and we subsequently received $0.3 million from our insurance company. We are suing Sunflower Bank for the
remaining $3.3 million, inclusive of the insurance proceeds, under a theory of breach of contract, negligence, and breach of UCC
standards, as we believe that Sunflower Bank failed to follow industry standard procedures designed to prevent such a theft and is
therefore liable for the unrecovered balance. Sunflower Bank has filed counterclaims against us for breach of contract and
negligence. We expect Sunflower Bank, Sunflower Bank’s insurers, and/or our insurer to reimburse us for the remaining
balance.
