1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Description of the business
Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) was formed in May 2017 under the laws of the state of Delaware to acquire and continue the business of Hydrofarm, LLC established in 1977. The Company is a leading distributor and manufacturer of controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”, principally hydroponics) equipment and supplies, including a broad portfolio of proprietary branded products. Products offered include agricultural lighting devices, indoor climate control equipment, hydroponics and nutrients, and plant additives used to grow, farm and cultivate cannabis, flowers, fruits, plants, vegetables, grains and herbs in controlled environment settings that allow end users to control key farming variables including temperature, humidity, CO 2 , light intensity and color, nutrient concentration and pH.
Follow-on public offering
On May 3, 2021, the Company closed its follow-on public offering ("follow-on offering") under a registration statement effective April 28, 2021, in which it issued and sold 5,526,861 shares of its common stock, including the full exercise by the underwriters of its option to purchase 720,894 additional shares of common stock. The public offering price was $ 59.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 309.8 million from the follow-on offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
Initial public offering
On December 14, 2020, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) under a registration statement effective December 9, 2020, in which it issued and sold 9,966,667 shares of its common stock, including the full exercise by the underwriters of its option to purchase 1,300,000 additional shares of common stock. The public offering price was $ 20.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 182.3 million from the IPO after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, or for any other interim period or for any other future year. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, which is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2020 Annual Report"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2020 Annual Report.

Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates include provisions for sales returns, rebates and claims from customers, realization of accounts receivable and inventories, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, incremental borrowing rate applied in lease accounting, valuation of stock, valuation of stock-based compensation, recognition of deferred income taxes, recognition of liabilities related to commitments and contingencies and valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business or new information available.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. 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 acquiree and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are recognized in net income (loss) as incurred.
When the consideration transferred in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration is established for business acquisitions where the Company has the obligation to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the former owners if specified future events occur or conditions are met. Contingent consideration is classified as a liability when the obligation requires settlement in cash or other assets and is classified as equity when the obligation requires settlement in the Company's own equity instruments. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are included in net income (loss) in the period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognized.
For a given acquisition, the Company may identify certain pre-acquisition contingencies as of the acquisition date and may extend its review and evaluation of these pre-acquisition contingencies throughout the measurement period in order to obtain sufficient information to assess these contingencies as part of acquisition accounting, as applicable.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non‑controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire (if any) over the net of the acquisition‑date fair value amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that time. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to net income (loss).

Segment and entity-wide information
Segment information
The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer ("CEO") who reviews financial information for the purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources.
The business is organized as two operating segments, the U.S. and Canada, which meet the criteria for aggregation, and the Company has elected to present them as one reportable segment, which is the distribution and manufacture of CEA equipment and supplies. Aggregation is based on similarities which include the nature of its products, production or acquisition of inventory, customer base, fulfillment and distribution and economic characteristics.
Since the Company operates as one reportable segment, all required segment financial information is found in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes with entity-wide disclosures presented below.
Entity-wide information
Sales to external customers and property and equipment, net in the United States and Canada, determined by the location of the subsidiaries, were as follows:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
United States $ 111,356 $ 75,787 $ 202,028 $ 129,291
Canada 23,832 16,283 46,096 30,385
Intersegment eliminations ( 1,388 ) ( 862 ) ( 2,935 ) ( 1,571 )
Total consolidated net sales $ 133,800 $ 91,208 $ 245,189 $ 158,105

2020
United States $ 5,539 $ 3,272
Canada 648 716
Total property and equipment, net $ 6,187 $ 3,988
All of the products sold by the Company are similar and classified as CEA equipment and supplies. The Company’s underlying accounting records currently do not support presentation of disaggregated net sales and any attempt to report them would be impracticable.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue recognition
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which requires that revenue recognized from contracts with customers be disaggregated into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company has determined that revenue is generated from one category, which is the distribution and manufacture of controlled environment agriculture equipment and supplies. Inventory is maintained in regional distribution centers. Payment terms are primarily at the point of sale or due within thirty days.
The amount billed to customers for shipping and handling costs included in net sales was $ 1,683 and $ 2,928 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 1,588 and $ 2,344 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs included in cost of goods sold under the practical expedient provisions of ASC 606. Deferred revenues are not material. The Company does not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods. There are no significant financing components. Excluded from revenue are any taxes assessed by governmental authorities, including value-added and other sales-related taxes that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-generating activities under the practical expedient provisions.
Income taxes—interim tax provision
The income tax provision is calculated for an interim period by distinguishing between elements recognized in the income tax provision through applying an estimated annual effective tax rate (the “ETR”) to a measure of year-to-date operating results referred to as “ordinary income (or loss),” and discretely recognizing specific events referred to as “discrete items” as they occur. The income tax provision or benefit for each interim period is the difference between the year-to-date amount for the current period and the year-to-date amount for the prior period. Under FASB ASC 740-270-30-36, entities subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions should apply one overall ETR instead of separate ETRs for each jurisdiction when calculating the interim-period income tax or benefit related to consolidated ordinary income (or loss) for the year-to-date interim period, except in certain circumstances.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally as a result of reducing valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforward.
Fair value
Fair value is 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. The Company has applied the framework for measuring fair value which requires a fair value hierarchy to be applied to all fair value measurements. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 — Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived from or, corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities using level 2 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (See discussion of contingent consideration in Note 3, Business Combinations ).

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Adopted in 2021
In October 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements . The amendments improve the codification by having all disclosure-related guidance available in the disclosure sections of the codification. Prior to this ASU, various disclosure requirements or options to present information on the face of the financial statements or as a note to the financial statements were not included in the appropriate disclosure sections of the codification. The codification improvements also contain various other minor amendments to the codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021 with no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity . This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021 with no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards not yet effective
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) , with additional amendments issued subsequently. Topic 326 changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 326 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Heavy 16 Acquisition
On May 3, 2021, the Company acquired 100 % of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Field 16, LLC ("Heavy 16"), a leading manufacturer and supplier of branded plant nutritional products. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is broadening its proprietary branded offering into the plant nutrients category complementing other product offerings. The acquisition fair value of the consideration transferred for Heavy 16 was $ 77,855 , consisting of $ 60,775 in cash, $ 16,736 of the Company's common stock and $ 344 contingent consideration. The fair value of the common stock issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the acquisition date. The financial results of Heavy 16 are included in the U.S. operating segment since the acquisition date.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company may pay up to an additional $ 2,500 of contingent consideration based on $ 200 for each $ 1,000 above a $ 21,000 threshold for net sales in calendar year 2021. As a result, the Company recorded a liability for contingent consideration at its estimated fair value of $ 344 as of the acquisition date in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The continent consideration was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which utilized Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements, including estimated financial forecasts . The key assumptions in applying the valuation model were as follows: a 10 % required revenue metric risk premium and 0.33 % discount periods . The contingent consideration was divided into thirteen standalone option calculations and utilized the same expected value of revenue which was calculated by discounting forecasted sales, by the revenue return metric, and adding year-to-date net sales.
The contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved with changes in fair value being recognized within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the related contingent consideration was $ 604 .

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of Heavy 16 because the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce. These benefits are not recognized separately from goodwill and they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. The amount of goodwill is fully deductible for tax purposes.
The customer relationships and technology and formulation & recipes were assigned estimated useful lives of 18 years. The trademarks and trade names are considered to have indefinite useful lives and will be tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that assets are impaired. Amounts recognized as of the acquisition date are provisional and subject to change within the measurement period as the Company's fair value assessments are finalized.

Supplemental Disclosure Of Financial Results
The following represents the condensed consolidated statements of operations as if the acquisitions had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the entire periods presented below. Management considers these estimates to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined Company.
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Net sales $ 144,982 $ 105,667 $ 274,071 $ 184,411
Net income $ 14,793 $ 8,033 $ 28,775 $ ( 1,181 )
These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting the results of the acquisitions to reflect the additional amortization of intangibles and the purchase price adjustments as if they had been applied on January 1, 2020. The supplemental net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were adjusted to exclude the acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the acquisitions. Accordingly, the 2020 supplemental net income was adjusted to include these charges. For the tax effects of the net income adjustments, the Company factored in its net operating loss carryforwards.
Since the acquisition date, the estimated net sales and net income of these acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are $ 9 million and $ 4 million, respectively. The Company is in the process of vertically integrating the operations of these acquisitions into Hydrofarm, LLC and its existing functions (e.g., sales, supply chain, marketing, etc.). Accordingly, the net sales and net income of these acquisitions represent an approximation.
Aurora Acquisition
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 100 % of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Gotham Properties LLC (“Gotham Properties”), Aurora Innovations Inc. (“Aurora Innovations”), Aurora International, Inc.(“Aurora International” and, together with Gotham Properties and Aurora Innovations, “Aurora”), a manufacturer of plant fertility product lines free from harmful chemical residues and pesticides. The total purchase price was up to $ 161 million, consisting of $ 135 million in cash and $ 26 million of the Company's common stock, subject to customary adjustments at closing for cash, working capital, transaction expenses and indebtedness of Aurora. The purchase price excludes a potential earn out payment estimated at approximately $ 21 million based on achievement of certain performance metrics.
Greenstar/Grotek Acquisition
On August 3, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Greenstar Plant Products Inc., (“Greenstar”), a manufacturer of premium horticultural products and solutions for global, domestic and commercial use since 1998.

5. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed using net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
Diluted EPS represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to warrants and share-based awards with exercise prices less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Regarding RSUs subject to a market condition, before the end of the contingency period, the number of contingently issuable shares (i.e., RSUs) to be included in diluted EPS would be based on the number of common shares issuable under the terms of the arrangement if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, assuming the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares would be included in the denominator of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period, or as of the grant date of the share-based payment, if later.
Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the two-class method as the convertible preferred stock is determined to be a participating security and the application of the if-converted method is not more dilutive. The computation of the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted EPS includes the

Common stock
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. Common stockholders have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional share of common stock or other securities. The common stock is not subject to redemption rights and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation, the stockholders are entitled to share in corporate assets on a pro rata basis after the Company satisfies all liabilities and after provision is made for any class of capital stock having preference over the common stock. Subject to corporate regulations and preferences to preferred stock, if any, dividends are at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the ‘‘Board’’).
Warrants
Redemption of investor warrants
On July 19, 2021, the Company completed the redemption ("Redemption") of certain of its outstanding warrants (the "Investor Warrants") that were issued in connection with a private placement of units (the "private placement"), each consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional one-half (1/2) shares of common stock, which concluded in the fall of 2018.

The Company was entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Investor Warrants for a redemption price of $ 0.00033712 per Investor Warrant ("redemption price") if (i) there was an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Investor Warrants, and (ii) the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption is at least $ 25.28 , of which both requirements were met. Investor Warrants were exercisable at a price of $ 16.86 per share until July 19, 2021 (the "redemption date"). Any Investor Warrants that remained unexercised immediately after the redemption date were void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those Investor Warrants were entitled to receive the redemption price.
Prior to the redemption date, 3,367,647 Investor Warrants were exercised, generating total gross proceeds of $ 56,779 , of which $ 36,484 was received subsequent to June 30, 2021. The Company redeemed 1,491 Investor Warrants at the redemption price.
In connection with the private placement, the Company agreed to engage the placement agent (the "Placement Agent") as the Company's warrant solicitation agent in the event the Investor Warrants were called for Redemption. The Company agreed to pay a warrant solicitation fee to the Placement Agent equal to five percent of the amount of net cash proceeds solicited by the Placement Agent upon the exercise of certain Investor Warrants following such call for Redemption. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, total warrant solicitation fee expense was $ 844 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In July 2021, the Company estimates the warrant solicitation fee expense to be approximately $ 1,105 subject to finalization during the quarter ending September 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, the following table summarizes the outstanding warrants:
Number of Warrants Exercise Price
Investor warrants 2,017,594 $ 16.86
Placement agent warrants 102,502 $ 8.43
Placement agent warrants 9,345 $ 16.86
Total 2,129,441 $ 16.45
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 163,006 placement agent warrants were exercised on a cashless basis at a price of $ 16.86 per share for 126,937 shares of common stock and 242,214 placement agent warrants were exercised on as cashless basis at a price of $ 8.43 per share for 214,325 shares of common stock.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation plan overview
The Company maintains three equity incentive plans: the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), the 2019 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) and the 2020 Employee, Director, and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan” and collectively, “Incentive Plans”). The 2020 Plan serves as the successor to the 2019 Plan and 2018 Plan and provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock grants and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. No further awards will be issued under the 2018 Plan and 2019 Plan. Of the total shares available for grant under the 2020 Plan, 2,140,960 remain available as of June 30, 2021.
RSU Activity
RSUs granted to certain executives, employees and members of the Board expire 10 years after the grant date. The awards generally have a time-based vesting requirement (based on continuous employment) and certain awards also have a performance-based vesting requirement (defined as a liquidity event including an initial public offering).
Upon the IPO, the performance-based vesting requirement was satisfied and the employees became vested in the number of RSUs that had satisfied the time-based vesting requirement. The stock-based compensation expense related to remaining service-based awards is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For purposes of this table, vested RSUs represent the shares for which the service condition had been fulfilled as of June 30, 2021:
Number of
RSUs Weighted
average grant
date fair value
Balance, January 1, 2021
1,857,444 $ 6.55
Granted 49,174 $ 61.85
Vested ( 365,747 ) $ 5.94
Balance, June 30, 2021
1,540,871 $ 8.46
As of June 30, 2021, total unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $ 9,236 and the weighted-average period over which the compensation is expected to be recognized is 2.11 years. The award granted to a member of the Board in July 2020 and modified in November 2020 contains a market-based vesting condition based on the traded value of shares of the Company’s common stock following the IPO over a specific time frame. For this award, the market condition was factored into its fair value. All of the stock-based compensation expense related to this award was recognized upon the IPO in December 2020. The total shares under the unvested RSUs subject to a market-based vesting condition are 296,630 as of June 30, 2021.

Since options represent equity awards of the Company, such awards are fair valued as of the grant date for the purposes of measurement and recognition under U.S. GAAP. To measure the fair value of an option, the Black-Scholes valuation model was utilized. The valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. The weighted average assumptions for awards granted as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:
Estimated weighted-average fair value per stock option $ 59.03
Volatility 45 %
Risk-free rate 0.85 %
Dividend yield Nil
Expected term in years 6.0
As of June 30, 2021, total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized was $ 1,250 and the weighted-average period over which the compensation is expected to be recognized is 2.18 years.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Purchase commitments
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company will enter into agreements with suppliers which provide favorable pricing in return for a commitment to purchase minimum amounts of inventory over a defined time period.
In June 2020, as part of negotiations with the supplier that began in late 2019, the Company amended its October 2017 agreement to distribute and sell certain garden products for a term ending in December 2024. Under the amended agreement, the Company committed to purchase inventory in periodic minimum volumes on a take-or-pay basis, as defined, over the term of the agreement.
In 2021, the Company expects to meet the minimum purchase commitment obligations.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, certain claims have been brought against the Company and, where applicable, its suppliers. While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters, management has vigorously contested the validity of these claims. Based on available information, management believes the claims are without merit and does not expect that the outcome, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial positions, results of operations, cash flows or future earnings.
Related party transactions—Hydrofarm Distribution Center
The Company leases a distribution center in Petaluma, California from entities in which a related party is a stockholder. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, rent expense for the month to month lease totaled $ 319 and $ 320 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, rent expense for the month to month lease totaled $ 639 for both periods.
