Vertical Farming Units (or “VFUs”) enable cultivators to produce the highest quality products with what it believes to be
an unmatched consistency, yield, and Return on Investment at scale. The Company’s comprehensive extraction product line, which includes

Initial Public Offering and Secondary Public Offering
On February 1, 2021, the Company closed its initial
public offering, or (“IPO”), of 31,050 shares of its Common Stock (inclusive of 4,050 shares of Common Stock from the full
exercise of the over-allotment option of shares granted to the underwriters). The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO were
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333- 251616 and 333-252490),
which was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 27, 2021. In the IPO, Maxim Group LLC
and Roth Capital Partners acted as the underwriters. The IPO price for shares of Common Stock was $ 2,000.00 per share. The total gross
proceeds from the IPO were $ 62.1 million.
After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
of $ 4 million and offering expenses paid or payable by us of approximately $ 1 million, the net proceeds from the IPO were approximately
$ 57 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO for its current working capital needs, to support revenue growth, increase
inventory to meet customer demand forecasts, and support operational growth.
On February 19, 2021, the Company consummated a
secondary public offering (the “February Offering”) of 27,778 shares of its Common Stock for a price of $ 2,700.00 per share,
less certain underwriting discounts, and commissions. On March 22, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 4,167 shares
of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The exercise
of the over-allotment option brought the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Company in connection with the February Offering
to 31,944 shares and the total net proceeds received in connection with the February Offering to approximately $ 80 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO for its current working capital
needs, to support revenue growth, increase inventory, meet customer demand forecasts, and support operational growth.

Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic Impact and Uncertainties
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant public
health concerns as well as economic disruption, uncertainty, and volatility that may negatively affect its business operations and financial
results. As a result, if the pandemic or its effects persist or worsen, its accounting estimates and assumptions could be impacted in
subsequent interim reports and upon final determination at year-end, and it is reasonably possible such changes could be significant (although
the potential effects cannot be estimated at this time). The Company has experienced minimal business interruption as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic to date has resulted in supply chain delays of its inventory, higher operating costs and increased
shipping costs, among other impacts. As events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic can change rapidly, the Company cannot predict how it
may disrupt its operations or the full extent of the disruption.
The Paycheck Protection Program
In May 2020, the Company received an unsecured Paycheck
Protection Program Loan (“PPP Loan”) from the Bank of America pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”)
under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration
(the “SBA”). The Company received total loan proceeds of approximately $ 779 thousand from the PPP Loan. The SBA denied the
Company’s application for the forgiveness of the outstanding balance of the PPP Loan. On June 23, 2022, the Company received
a letter from Bank of America agreeing to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00 % per year. The
PPP loan is payable in 34 equal combined monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $ 24 thousand that commenced on August
7, 2022.
Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”),
and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021 and filed with the SEC (“Form 10-K”), except for the recently adopted accounting pronouncements
described below.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation
of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021, and the condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2021 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements
have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do
not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of a full year’s results.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Accounting for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Agrify Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described
above in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, in accordance with the provisions required
by the Consolidation Topic 810 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
The Company includes results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances are eliminated.
8
Accounting for Less Than Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
For the Company’s less than wholly-owned subsidiaries,
which include TPI, Agrify-Valiant, and Agrify Brands, the Company first analyzes whether these entities are a variable interest entity
(a “VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810 Consolidation (“ASC810”), and if so, whether the Company is the
primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. A VIE is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest. The financial results of a VIE are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right
to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual,
ownership or other financial interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company
continuously re-assesses (i) whether the joint-venture is a VIE, and (ii) if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it
is determined that the joint-venture qualifies as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company’s financial interest
in the VIE is consolidated.
Based on the Company’s analysis of these entities,
the Company has determined that Agrify-Valiant and Agrify Brands are each a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. While
the Company owns 60 % of Agrify-Valiant’s equity interests and 75 % of Agrify Brand’s equity interests, the remaining equity
interests in Agrify-Valiant and Agrify Brands are owned by unrelated third parties, and the agreement with these third parties provides
the Company with greater voting rights. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interest in the financial statements of Agrify-Valiant
and Agrify Brands under the VIE rules and reflects the third parties’ interests in the consolidated financial statements as a non-controlling
interest. The Company records this non-controlling interest at its initial fair value, adjusting the basis prospectively for the third
parties’ share of the respective consolidated investments’ net income or loss or equity contributions and distributions. These
non-controlling interests are not redeemable by the equity holders and are presented as part of permanent equity. Income and losses are
allocated to the non-controlling interest holders based on its economic ownership percentage. The investment in 50 % of the shares of TPI
is treated as an equity investment as the Company cannot exercise significant influence.
Going Concern
In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, the Company’s management
evaluated whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the financial statements’ issuance date. The following matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
The Company has incurred operating losses since
its inception and has negative cash flows from operations. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $ 189.2 million as of September
30, 2022. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, with additional liquidity
accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable SEC regulations,
from the capital markets, including under its at-the-market continuous equity offering (“ATM” or ATM Program”).
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 12.5
million of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash and restricted marketable securities. The Company’s
restricted cash and restricted marketable securities is associated with its new senior secured note (the “Exchange Note”)
was $ 10.0 million as of September 30, 2022. Current liabilities were $ 72.8 million as of September 30, 2022. Additional information regarding
the Company’s Exchange Note may be found in Note 10 – Debt, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2022,
the Company entered into an agreement for the ATM Program with Canaccord Genuity LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which
the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 50 million,
depending on market demand, with the Agent acting as an agent for sales. The ATM allows for quick and agile sales of Common Stock to interested
investors and provides an opportunity to raise additional capital for working capital requirements or to fund strategic opportunities
that may present themselves from time to time. The Company has used, and intends to continue to use, the $ 15.1 million in net proceeds
generated from the ATM Program as of November 7, 2022 for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness,
funding the Company’s transformation initiatives and product category expansion efforts and capital expenditures. As of November
7, 2022, the Company had $ 34.4 million of remaining availability for future issuances of Common Stock under the ATM Program.
9
Additional information regarding the Company’s
ATM Program and proceeds received subsequent to September 30, 2022, may be found in Note 20 – Subsequent Events, included elsewhere
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis, which implies the Company believes these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. The Company’s
continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations
until the Company begins generating sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever
be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the potential future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and
the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial
statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends
and other market-specific, other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and management’s judgement.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates
are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual financial results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year
For the Company and its Subsidiaries, the fiscal
year ends on December 31, each year.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth
company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (“JOBS Act”). As a result, the Company is permitted
to, and intends to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to companies that are not emerging growth
companies.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging
growth company” can use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
The Company will remain an “emerging growth
company” until the earliest to occur of:
●
reporting $1.0 billion or more in annual gross revenues;
●
the issuance, in a three-year period, of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt;
10
●
the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; or
●
December 31, 2026.
As of June 30, 2022, the market value of Common
Stock held by non-affiliates did not exceed $700 million.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. In this Form 10-Q,
the Company has reclassified selling, general and administrative expenses to two separate line items in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations as general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021.
On January 12, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-1.581804
reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of its Common Stock, $ 0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).
All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented
unless otherwise indicated.
On October 18, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10
reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse
stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
On July 5, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-20
reverse stock split of its Common Stock, All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse
stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued
as a result of these reverse stock splits. Any fractional shares in connection with these reverse stock splits were rounded up to the
nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse stock splits had no impact on the number
of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its articles of incorporation or on the par value per share
of the Common Stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of
the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, the exercise price or conversion price (as applicable) of the Company’s
outstanding stock options and warrants, and the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan.
All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact
of these reverse stock splits.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash and Restricted Marketable
Securities
Cash and cash equivalents
consist principally of cash and deposits with maturities of three months or less as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. All cash
equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash and restricted marketable securities represents cash required
to be held as collateral for the Company’s Exchange Note. Accordingly, these balances contain restrictions as to their availability
and usage and are classified as restricted cash and restricted marketable securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Additional information
relating to the Company’s Exchange Note may be found in Note 10 – Debt, included elsewhere
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Cash
deposits with financial institutions, including restricted cash and restricted marketable securities, generally exceed federally
insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced
any losses on such amounts. Balances held in a brokerage account are disclosed on the balance sheet as restricted cash.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable security investments
primarily include investments held in mutual funds, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds. The mutual funds are recorded at fair value
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as part of cash and cash equivalents. The municipal and corporate bonds are considered
to be held-to-maturity securities and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of
these investments was estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. The Company considers current assets
to be those investments that will mature within the next 12 months, including interest receivable on long-term bonds.
11
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of
amounts for goods and services that are billed and currently due from customers. Accounts receivable balances are presented net of an
allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate of billed amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance
at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific
risks identified in customer collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer financial conditions.
Accounts receivable balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined
to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted marketable securities,
and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original
maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions,
including restricted cash and restricted marketable securities , generally exceed federally
insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced
any losses on such amounts.

Inventories
The Company values all of its inventories, which
consist primarily of significant raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally
determined by the weighted-average cost method on a First-In, First-Out basis. Write-offs of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory
are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material. The company takes physical inventory at least once annually
at all inventory locations.
13
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of each asset, as follows:
Estimated Useful
Life (Years)
Computer and office equipment
2 to 3
Furniture and fixtures
2
Software
3
Vehicles
5
Research and development of laboratory equipment
5
Machinery and equipment
3 to 5
Leased equipment at customer
5 to 13
Trade show assets
3 to 5
Leasehold improvements
Lower of estimated useful life or remaining lease term
The estimated useful lives of the
Company’s property and equipment are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. The Company charges
maintenance and repairs to expenses as incurred. When the Company retires or disposes of assets, the carrying cost of these assets
and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gain or
loss are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of retirement or disposal. Costs for capital assets not
yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service.
Goodwill
Goodwill is defined as the excess of cost over the
fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and
more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company has determined that it is a single
reporting unit for the purpose of conducting the goodwill impairment assessment. A goodwill impairment charge is recorded if the amount
by which the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Factors that could
lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in projected revenues, a deterioration of projected
financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and/or a decline in the Company’s market value as a result of a significant
decline in the Company’s stock price.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022,
the Company identified an impairment-triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and
associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the
Company deemed that there was an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing as
of June 30, 2022.
Based on its interim testing, the Company noted
that the carrying value of equity exceeded the calculated fair value by an amount greater than the aggregate value of our goodwill and
intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets should be impaired,
resulting in a second-quarter impairment charge of $ 69.9 million. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing
on goodwill may be found in Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
14
Intangible Assets
The Company initially records intangible assets
at their estimated fair values and reviews these assets periodically for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets, which consist principally
of acquired customer-related acquired assets, acquired and/or developed technology, non-compete agreements, and trade names, are reported
net of accumulated amortization, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives at amortization rates that are proportional
to each asset’s estimated economic benefit. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of these intangible assets annually, or more frequently if
indicators of impairment are present.
The finite-lived useful lives are as follows:
Trade names
5 to 7 years
Acquired developed technology
5 to 8 years
Non-compete agreements
5 years
Customer relationships
5 to 8 years
Capitalized website costs
3 to 5 years
In performing the review of the recoverability of
intangible assets, the Company considers several factors, including whether there have been significant changes in legal factors or the
overall business climate that could affect the underlying value of an asset. The Company also considers whether there is an expectation
that the asset will be sold or disposed of before the end of its remaining estimated useful life. If, as the result of examining any of
these factors, the Company concludes that the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company recognizes
an impairment charge and reduces the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022,
the Company identified an impairment-triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and
associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the
Company deemed that there was an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing as
of June 30, 2022.
Based on its interim testing, the Company noted
that the carrying value of equity exceeded the calculated fair value by an amount greater than the aggregate value of our goodwill and
intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets should be impaired,
resulting in a second-quarter impairment charge of $ 69.9 million. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing
on intangible assets may be found in Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments
to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately
accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC815”). The accounting treatment of derivative
financial instruments requires that the Company identify and record certain embedded conversion options (“ECOs”), certain
variable-share settlement features, and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement
and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or
expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments
at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of
the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded conversion options, variable-share settlement features and
any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument which is amortized to interest expense over the
life of the respective note using the effective interest method.
If the Company determines that an instrument is
not a derivative liability, it then evaluates whether there is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), by comparing the commitment
date fair value to the effective current conversion price of the instrument. The Company records a BCF as a debt discount which is amortized
to interest expense over the life of the respective note using the effective interest method. BCFs that are contingent upon the occurrence
of a future event are recognized when the contingency is resolved.
15
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as
embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC480”) and ASC815. The Company
accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific
terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC480 and ASC815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC480, and whether the warrants
meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s
own Common Stock among other conditions for equity classification.
For issued or modified
warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification, they are recorded as a liability at their
initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair
value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On January 25, 2022, the Company entered into
a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Agreement”) with an institutional investor and other accredited investors
for the sale by the Company of (i) 12,252 shares (the “SA Shares”) of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,853 shares of Common Stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,079
shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and, collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”),
in a private placement offering.
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into
a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, in a private placement transaction, in exchange for the payment
by the Investor of $ 65 million, less applicable expenses, as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) a SPA Note in an
aggregate principal amount of $ 65 million, and (ii) a warrant (the “SPA Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,406
shares of Common Stock.
On
August 18, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with its institutional lender to amend its existing Securities Purchase Agreement and
entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued
a new warrant to purchase 71,138 shares of Common Stock (the “Note Exchange Warrant”) and modified the existing SPA Warrant.
The Company exchanged the SPA Warrant for a new warrant for the same number of underlying shares but with a reduced exercise price (the
“Modified Warrants” and, collectively with the Note Exchange Warrant, the “Warrant Liabilities”). As of September
30, 2022, the Company had outstanding liability-classified Warrant Liabilities that allows the accredited investor (the “Investor”)
to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. Additional information regarding the Exchange Agreement and Warrant Liabilities may
be found in Note 5 – Fair Value Measures and Note 10 – Debt, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issuance costs and/or
debt discounts in connection with issuing of debt. The Company may cover these costs by paying cash or issuing warrants. These costs
are amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate
share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original
Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued by the Company,
it may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The Company would record the original issue discount to debt discount,
reducing the face amount of the note, and is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
16
Leases
The Company determines at the inception of a right-of-use
asset contract if such arrangement is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement
date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its consolidated balance sheet for all leases
with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. A lease with an initial term of 12 months or less is not recorded on the balance
sheet, but related payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s right-of-use asset contracts
may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components may include maintenance, utilities, and other operating costs. The
Company combines the lease and non-lease components of fixed costs in its lease arrangements as a single lease component. Variable costs,
such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but rather are
expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.
Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use
assets are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company determines the present
value of future lease payments by using its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term as the interest rate implicit
in the lease is not readily determinable. The Company estimates its secured incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the rate
of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar
term.
Certain of the Company’s right-of-use asset
leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The amounts determined for the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities generally do not assume that renewal options or early-termination provisions, if any, are exercised unless it is reasonably
certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue includes amounts collected
or billed in excess of revenue that it can recognize. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as revenue as the related performance
obligation is satisfied. The Company records deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period
as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist
of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The estimated fair value of the accounts receivable and accounts
payable approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock options and other
stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense
of those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective
award. Historically, the Company has issued stock options to employees, directors and consultants with only service-based vesting conditions
and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method.
The Company classifies stock-based compensation
expense in its consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock
option grant on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Before the IPO, the Company was a private company
and therefore lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility
based on the historical volatility of similar publicly-traded companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate
historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been
determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free
interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods
approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid
cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
17
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business acquisitions using
the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair
values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company’s management exercises significant
judgments in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles and their estimated useful
lives. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, royalty cost
savings and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating
acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results.
Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and
liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first.
Adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s
operating results.
For contingent consideration arrangements, the Company
recognizes a liability at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in the consolidated statements
of operations. Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements may be found in Note 5 –
Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
The Company generates revenue from the following
sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) providing services and (3) construction contracts.
In accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition”,
the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:
●
identify the customer contract;
●
identify performance obligations that are distinct;
●
determine the transaction price;
●
allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
●
recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
18
Identify the customer contract
A customer contract is generally identified when
there is approval and commitment from both the Company and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified,
the contract has commercial substance and collectability, and consideration is probable. Specifically, the Company obtains written/electronic
signatures on contracts and a purchase order, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.
Identify performance obligations that are
distinct
A performance obligation is a promise by the Company
to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct
if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to
the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises
in the contract.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are
collected on behalf of government agencies.
Allocate the transaction price to distinct
performance obligations
The transaction price is allocated to each performance
obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer.
The Company’s contracts typically contain multiple performance obligations, for which the Company accounts for individual performance
obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific
piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations
are satisfied
Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations
are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.
Significant Judgments
The Company enters into contracts that may include
various combinations of equipment, services and construction, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate
performance obligations. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining
whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together
may require significant judgment. Once the Company determines the performance obligations, it determines the transaction price, which
includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the
transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on the SSP. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related
performance obligations are satisfied.
Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each
distinct performance obligation. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately
and the methods of estimating SSP under the guidance of ASC 606-10-32-33. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the
Company estimates the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions, expected margins, and internally approved
pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. The Company licenses its software as a SaaS type subscription license, whereby
the customer only has a right to access the software over a specified time period. The full value of the contract is recognized ratably
over the contractual term of the SaaS subscription, adjusted monthly if tiered pricing is relevant. The Company typically satisfies its
performance obligations for equipment sales when equipment is made available for shipment to the customer; for services sales as services
are rendered to the customer and for construction contracts both as services are rendered and when contract is completed.
19
The Company utilizes the cost-plus margin method
to determine the SSP for equipment and build-out services. This method is based on the cost of the services from third parties, plus a
reasonable markup that the Company believes is reflective of a market-based reseller margin.
The Company determines the SSP for services in time
and materials contracts by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.
The Company estimates variable consideration in
the form of royalties, revenue share, monthly fees, and service credits at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting
period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration is typically not subject to constraint. Changes to variable
consideration were not material for the periods presented.
If a contract has payment terms that differ from
the timing of revenue recognition, the Company will assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing
component. The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing
component if the Company expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service
to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. For those contracts in which the period exceeds
the one-year threshold, this assessment, as well as the quantitative estimate of the financing component and its relative significance,
requires judgment. Accordingly, the Company imputes interest on such contracts at an agreed-upon interest rate and will present the financing
components separately as financial income. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not
have any such financial income.
Payment terms with customers typically require payment
30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s agreements with its customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products
and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained. In the infrequent instances where customers raise concern over delivered
products or services, the Company has endeavored to remedy the concern and all costs related to such matters have been insignificant
in all periods presented.
The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling
activities after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the
Company will accrue all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of consumer goods at the time of shipment. The Company
has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider
the time value of money. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded
from revenue.
The Company receives payment from customers based
on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from the satisfaction of performance obligations. There are no contract assets
related to performance under the contract. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s deferred revenue
primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Company fulfills
obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts
receivables are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company recognizes deferred
revenue when consideration has been received or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, and the Company has a future obligation
to transfer certain proprietary products.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company
is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature
of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of the Company’s remaining contracts
meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract
that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.
The Company generally provides a one-year warranty
on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple-year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties
from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product
warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The reserve for warranty returns is included in accrued expenses
and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
20
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs
as incurred. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other expenses associated with product development.
The Company incurs research and development costs associated with the development and enhancement of both hardware and software products
associated with its cultivation and extraction equipment, as well as its SaaS-based software offering, Agrify Insights™ cultivation
software.
Capitalization of Internal Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain software engineering
efforts related to the continued development of Agrify Insights™ cultivation software under ASC 985-20. Costs incurred during
the application development phase are only capitalized once technical feasibility has been established and the work performed
will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase include employee
compensation, as well as consulting fees for third-party software developers working on these projects. Costs related to the research
and development are expensed as incurred until technical feasibility is established as well as post-implementation activities. Internal-use
software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from two to five years .
Shipping and Handling Charges
The Company incurs costs related to shipping and
handling of its manufactured products. These costs are expensed as incurred as a component of cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling
charges related to the receipt of raw materials are also incurred, which are recorded as a cost of the related inventory.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in affiliates that are 50 % or less
owned by the Company for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for on the equity method.
The Company has investments in equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which represents investments in entities where
the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entities.
An assessment of whether or not the Company (as
a holder of 50 % of TPI) has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact TPI’s economic performance and to identify
the party that obtains the majority of the benefits of the investment was performed as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and
will be performed as of each subsequent reporting date. After each of these assessments, the Company concluded that the activities that
most significantly impact TPI’s economic performance are the growth, marketing, sale, and distribution of products using TPI’s
technology and IP, each of which is solely directed by TPI. Based on the consideration of these assessments, the Company concluded that
the Company’s investment in TPI should be accounted for under the equity method.
The carrying value of the Company’s investment
in TPI was $ 0 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company did not recognize revenue from TPI for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to
the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating
deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation
allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred
asset will not be realized.
21
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-5,
“Basic Recognition Threshold.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained
upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount
of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10-25-6, the benefit of a tax position
is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes
it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes,
if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with
the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described
above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest
and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly
certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of September
30, 2022, tax years 2017 through 2021 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the
open tax years.
The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position
when it is effectively settled. ASC 740-10-25-10, “Basic Recognition Threshold” provides guidance on how an entity should
determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740-10-25-10
clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions
considered effectively settled, the Company recognizes the full amount of the tax benefit.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted net loss
per share attributable to Common Stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company
computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
Net loss available to Common Stockholders represents net loss attributable to Common Stockholders reduced by the allocation of earnings
to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities as the holders of the participating securities do not
have a contractual obligation to share in any losses. Diluted loss per share adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive
impact of stock options and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities
including stock options and warrants, are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.
Net loss per share calculations for all periods
have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits effected on January 12, 2021,October 18, 2022, and July 5, 2023. Net loss per share
was calculated based on the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt
- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own
Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments
in ASU No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics
of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exceptions
for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this new accounting guidance had no impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
22
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments,
including available-for-sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The guidance establishes a new “expected loss model”
that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information.
Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is
effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business
Combinations (Topic 606): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that
an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as
if it had originated the contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets
and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements, if the acquiree
prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
The guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment in this
update. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
Other recent
accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s
present or future financial statements.
Note 2 — Restatement of Current Period
The Company’s financial statements as of and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been restated due to the following errors:
Pipe Warrants/Original SPA Warrants Classification and Measurement
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022
the Company entered into several debt and equity financing transactions including i) the issuance of common stock and warrants in a private
placement on January 25, 2022 (the “PIPE Warrants”), ii) the issuance of a note payable (the “SPA Note”) with
associated warrants on March 14, 2022 (the “SPA Warrants”), iii) the prepayment of the SPA Note on August 18, 2022 and the
exchange of the remaining balance for a new note payable (the “Exchange Note”), the modification of the SPA Warrants (the
“Modified Warrants”), and the issuance of new warrants (the “New Warrants”).
In connection with the aforementioned transactions,
the Company determined that the PIPE Warrants and the SPA Warrants were incorrectly classified as equity and must be reclassified to liabilities
measured at fair value upon issuance and remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. In addition, the Company used an incorrect volatility
percentage when calculating the value of the PIPE Warrants, the SPA Warrants, and the New Warrants upon issuance. As a result of these
errors:
● Additional paid-in capital was overstated by $ 24.0 million as of September
30, 2022 due to the incorrect classification of the SPA Warrants and the PIPE Warrants as equity rather than liabilities;
● Warrant liabilities was understated by the fair value of the PIPE Warrants,
the Modified SPA Warrants, and New Warrants of $ 4.1 million as of September 30, 2022;
● Long-term debt and Long-term debt, current was understated by $ 29.9 million
and overstated by $ 31.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022 due to the incorrect allocation of the debt discount in connection
with the issuance of debt and SPA Warrants, as a result of the improper classification of the SPA Warrants as equity rather than liabilities;
23
● Accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2022 was overstated by $ 18.3 million
as a result of the net impact of the following errors in the consolidated statement of operations:
ο The change in fair value of warrant liabilities was understated
by $ 10.6 million and $ 41.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively due to the fact that the Company
did not appropriately remeasure the fair value of the warrant liabilities as of September 30, 2022 through earnings;
ο Interest expense, net was understated by $ 675 thousand and
$ 2.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively due to incorrect debt discount amortization in connection
with the issuance of debt and SPA Warrants, as a result of the improper classification of the SPA Warrants as equity rather than liabilities.
ο The gain on extinguishment of notes payable was understated
by $ 21.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
Long-term Debt Classification
The Company incorrectly classified the Exchange
Note as long-term debt. However, as the Investor has the option of requiring the Company to redeem the Exchange Note on the one-year or
two-year anniversaries of issuance subject to certain conditions, the Exchange Note must be classified as a current liability. As a result
of this error:
● Long-term debt, current was understated by $ 31.3 million as of September
30, 2022;
● Long-term debt was overstated by $ 29.9 million as of September 30, 2022
Debt Issuance Costs Classification
The Company incorrectly classified debt issuance
costs as an asset rather than as a contra-liability as of September 30, 2022. As a result of this error:
● Prepaid expenses and other current assets were understated by $ 308 thousand
as of September 30, 2022;
● Other non-current assets were overstated by $ 454 thousand as of September
30, 2022
Reverse Stock Split
On October 18, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock
split of its Common. All owners of record as of October 18, 2022 received one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Common
Stock in exchange for ten outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Additionally, On October 18, 2022, the Company effected
a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its Common Stock on July 5, 2023. All owners of record as of July 5, 2023 received one issued and outstanding
share of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for twenty outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Additional information
regarding the reverse stock splits may be found in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation
and Significant Accounting Policies , included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
The impact of these/this adjustment(s) is/are shown below in the restated
and reclassified consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter-ended
September 30, 2022.

Note 3 — Revenue and Deferred Revenue
Revenue
During the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022 and 2021, the Company generated revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) services sales and (3) construction
contracts.
The Company sells its equipment and services to
customers under a combination of a contract and purchase order. Equipment revenue includes sales from proprietary products designed and
engineered by the Company such as Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”), container farms, integrated grow racks, and LED
grow lights, and non-proprietary products designed, engineered, and manufactured by third parties such as air cleaning systems and pesticide-free
surface protection.
Construction contracts normally provide for payment
upon completion of specified work or units of work as identified in the contract. Although there is considerable variation in the terms
of these contracts, they are primarily structured as time-and-material contracts. The Company enters into time-and-materials contracts
under which the Company is paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and other expenses, including materials, as
incurred at rates agreed to in the contract. The Company uses three main sub-contractors to execute the construction contracts.
The following table provides the Company’s
revenue disaggregated by the timing of revenue recognition:

$ 52,369
$ 34,584
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company
is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature
of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable, because the majority of the Company’s remaining
contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part
of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.
The Company generally provides a one-year warranty
on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and generally transfers to its customers
the warranties it receives from its vendors, if any, which generally cover this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the
Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company maintains a reserve for
warranty returns of $ 540 thousand and $ 398 thousand for September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s reserve
for warranty returns is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. Additional information
regarding the Company’s warranty reserve may be found in Note 4 – Supplemental Consolidated
Balance Sheet Information, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 — Fair Value Measures
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
In accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value
Measurement”, the Company measures fair value at 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. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels,
as follows:
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:
Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities
include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as
projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized
to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has certain financial instruments which
consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, warrant liabilities, and contingent consideration. Fair value information
for each of these instruments is as follows:
●
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue liabilities approximate their fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
●
Marketable securities classified as current held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, which at September 30, 2022, approximated fair value.
33
●
The Company’s deferred consideration was recorded in connection with acquisitions during the first quarter of 2022 and fiscal 2021 using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transaction. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the deferred consideration approximated fair value, respectively.
●
The Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liability are recorded to other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Marketable Securities
As of September 30, 2022, the Company held investments
in mutual funds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The Company records mutual funds at fair value in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as part of cash and cash equivalents. The municipal and corporate bonds are considered held-to-maturity securities and are
recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of these investments were estimated using recently
executed transactions and market price quotations. The Company considers current assets as those investments which will mature within
the next 12 months including, interest receivable on long-term bonds.

Contingent Consideration
The Company has classified its net liability for
contingent earn-out considerations to the sellers relating to one acquisition completed during the first quarter of 2022 and two acquisitions
completed during fiscal 2021. The fair value for the contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions is within Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy because the associated fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included the
key assumptions to model future revenue, costs of goods sold and operating expense projections. A description of the Company’s acquisitions
completed during the first quarter of 2022 and fiscal 2021 are included within Note 9 – Business Combinations, included elsewhere
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company included contingent consideration within

See below for additional information related to
each acquisition’s contingent consideration.
Contingent Consideration – PurePressure
The Company,
in its review of actual revenue performance as compared to its originally projected revenue estimates, noted that PurePressure’s
revenue trend is materially below the originally estimated revenue trends incorporated into the Company’s original fair value estimates
at the time of the acquisition. As a result, the Company has reduced its fair value estimate of achievement for PurePressure’s first
earn-out period. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company reduced the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration
liability associated with PurePressure’s first earn-out period by approximately $ 602 thousand. As required by ASC Topic 805 Business
Combination (“ASC805”), the change in contingent consideration was recorded as a reduction in operating expenses during the
third quarter of 2022.
Contingent Consideration – Lab Society
The Company,
in its review of actual revenue performance as compared to its originally projected revenue estimates, noted that Lab Society’s
revenue trend is materially below the originally estimated revenue trends incorporated into the Company’s original fair value estimates
at the time of the acquisition. As a result, the Company has reduced its fair value estimate of achievement for Lab Society’s first
earn-out period. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reduced the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration
liability associated with Lab Society’s first earn-out period by approximately $ 1.0 million. As required by ASC805, the change in
contingent consideration was recorded as a reduction in operating expenses during the second quarter of 2022.
Contingent Consideration
– Precision and Cascade
The earn-out period for the potential contingent
consideration to be earned by the former members of Precision and Cascade concluded on December
31, 2021. The Company, during the second quarter of 2022, increased the amount of the contingent
consideration earned by the former members of Precision and Cascade by approximately $ 121 thousand, to reflect the final contingent consideration
amount due. This amount, as required by ASC805, was recorded as an increase in operating expenses during the second quarter of 2022. During
the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 , the Company made the final payment on the contingent
consideration of approximately $ 5.6 million to the members of Precision and Cascade. Additional information regarding the Company’s
final payment to Precision and Cascade may be found in Note 9 – Business Combination, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.

Warrant liabilities
The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities
on September 30, 2022 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in
calculating the estimated fair values represent the Company’s best estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors
or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.
The fair value was remeasured and was determined to be $ 5,122 thousand

Note 6 — Loan Receivable
A portion of the capital raised from the Company’s
IPO has been allocated to launch the Company’s TTK Solution program. The TTK Solution is the industry’s first-of-its-kind
program in which the Company engages with qualified cannabis operators in the early phases of their business plans and provides
critical support, typically over a 10 -year period, which includes: access to capital for construction costs, the design and build-out
of their cultivation and extraction facilities, state-of-the-art cultivation and extraction equipment, subscription to the Company’s
Agrify Insights™ cultivation software, process design, training, implementation, proven grow recipes, product formulations, data
analytics, and consumer branding, which will enable the Company’s customers to go to market faster and better.
The loan agreements entered into with customers
receiving the TTK Solution generally provide for loans with maturity dates of approximately two to three years after the completion of
the construction projects. Typically, the TTK Solution construction loans have interest rates ranging from 12 % to 18 % per year.
36
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the
Company provided a notice of default under the term loan agreement between the Company and Bud & Mary’s (the “Bud &
Mary’s TTK Agreement”). On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. (the “Bud & Mary’s”)
filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Suffolk County naming the Company as defendant. Bud & Mary’s is
seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and conversion
arising from the Bud & Mary’s TTK Agreement. In response, the Company established a reserve of $ 14.7 million specifically related
to Bud & Mary’s. The Company deemed it necessary to fully reserve the $ 14.7 outstanding balance due to the current litigation
and the uncertainty of the customer’s ability to repay the outstanding balance. In addition, $ 5.3 million of the notes receivable
balance for work performed during the third quarter of 2022 has been recorded as an unbilled note receivable and deferred the revenue
to a future period. The Company has recognized the expenses associated with the work completed in the current period due to the uncertainty
of the Company’s ability to recover the funds owed by the customer and its obligations to the vendors that have performed this work.
The Company determined that it will only recognize unbilled notes receivable revenue if cash is collected from the customer in a future
period. The Company believes that Bud & Mary’s claims have no merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company is
taking all necessary steps to pursue repayment from Bud & Mary’s and is taking all actions necessary to protect its shareholders’ interests.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company
established a reserve of approximately $ 7.1 million specifically related to Greenstone. The Company established the reserve based upon
its review of Greenstone’s financial stability, which would impact collectability, which is primarily the result of unfavorable
market conditions within the Colorado market. The Company will continue to monitor the operations of Greenstone in an effort to collect
all outstanding receivables but due to the uncertain nature of Greenstone’s business at this time the Company has made the decision
to place a reserve against the receivables. Greenstone is a related party as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The breakdown of loans receivable by customer as

(2) The Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $ 14.7 million related to Bud & Mary’s ongoing litigation. The remaining balance of approximately $ 7.1 million relates to Greenstone consisting of capital advances, accrued interest and VFUs sales.
At this time, the Company is not aware of, nor has
it identified any risk or potential performance failure associated with any of its other TTK Solution arrangements with the noted exception
of Bud & Mary’s TTK Solution and Greenstone TTK Solution, as described above.
The Company analyzed whether any of the above customers
are a VIE in accordance with ASC810 and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. Based on the Company’s
analysis, the Company has determined that Greenstone is a VIE. As of September 30, 2022, two of the Company’s employees own approximately
36.6 % of the equity of Greenstone, however, since the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not hold significant influence over
Greenstone business decisions, the Company is not required to consolidate Greenstone.

Note 7 — Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a First-In, First-Out basis. Such costs include
the acquisition cost for raw materials and operating supplies. The Company’s standard payment terms with suppliers may require making
payments in advance of delivery of the Company’s products. The Company’s prepaid inventory is a short-term, non-interest-bearing
asset that is applied to the purchase of products once they are delivered.
Inventory consisted of the following as of September

Note 8 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair
value and tested periodically for impairment. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and is tested at least annually for impairment.
The Company performs its goodwill impairment testing annually during the fourth quarter, or sooner if indicators or if circumstances were
to occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company
would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to
exceed the total amount of goodwill.
The Company has concluded that there was an impairment-triggering
event during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that required the Company to perform a detailed analysis of the current carrying value
of its goodwill and intangible assets. For intangible asset and goodwill impairment testing purposes, the Company has one reporting unit.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022,
the Company’s market capitalization fell below total net assets. In addition, financial performance continued to weaken during the
quarter, which is contrary to prior experience. Management reassessed business performance expectations, following persistent adverse
developments in equity markets, deterioration in the environment in which the Company operates, lower-than-expected sales, and an increase
in operating expenses. These indicators, in the aggregate, required impairment testing for intangible assets and goodwill.
38
Based on the results of this testing, the Company
determined that the carrying values of the aggregate value of its goodwill and intangible assets were not recoverable. The Company recorded
impairment charges during the second quarter of 2022, representing a full impairment of the carrying value of its goodwill and intangible
assets. The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $ 69.9 million, representing the carrying values of intangible assets
and goodwill, which totaled $ 15.2 million and $ 54.7 million, respectively.

Note 9 — Business Combination
Acquisition of Lab Society
On February 1, 2022,
the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lab Society, a newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Michael S. Maibach Jr., as the Owner Representative thereunder, and each of the
shareholders of Lab Society (collectively, the “Owners”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Lab Society. Concurrently
with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company consummated the merger of Lab Society with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub
surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Lab Society Acquisition”).
The aggregate consideration
for the Lab Society Acquisition consisted of: $ 4.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash, and indebtedness
of Lab Society at closing; 2,128 shares of Common Stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and the Earn-out Consideration (as defined below),
to the extent earned.
The Company withheld
638 of the Buyer Shares issuable to the Owners (the “Holdback Lab Buyer Shares”) for the purpose of securing any post-closing
adjustment owed to the Company and any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which the Company may be entitled under the
Merger Agreement. During the third quarter of 2022, 139 of the Holdback Lab Buyer Shares were forfeited after the finalization of the
net working capital settlement. The remaining 499 Holdback Lab Buyer Shares will be released following the twelve-month anniversary of
the Closing Date in accordance with and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement
includes customary post-closing adjustments, representations and warranties, and covenants of the parties. The Owners may become entitled
to additional consideration with a value of up to $ 3.5 million based on the eligible net revenues achieved by the Lab Society business
during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, of which 50 % will be payable in cash and the remaining 50 % will
be payable by issuing shares of Common Stock. Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements
may be found in Note 5 – Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily
of professional fees, related to the acquisition, totaled approximately $ 0 and $ 66 thousand for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2022, respectively. All transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative
expenses.
The Company has prepared purchase price allocations
for the business combination with Lab Society on a preliminary basis. Changes to those allocations may occur as additional information
becomes available during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

The Company’s initial fair value estimates
related to the various identified intangible assets of Lab Society were determined under various valuation approaches including the Income
Approach, Relief-from-Royalty Method, and Discounted Cash Flow Method. These valuation methods require management to project revenues,
operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending, and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well
as determine the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022,
the Company identified an impairment-triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and
associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the
Company deemed that there was an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing as
of June 30, 2022. Based on its interim testing, the Company noted that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets
should be impaired. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing on goodwill and intangible assets may be found

in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date of February 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022 was $ 4.0 million.
Acquisition of Precision and Cascade
On September 29, 2021 (the “Execution Date”),
the Company entered into a Plan of Merger and Equity Purchase Agreement, as amended by an amendment dated October 1, 2021 (as amended,
the “Purchase Agreement”), with Sinclair Scientific, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sinclair”), Mass2Media,
LLC, Precision, a Michigan limited liability company; and each of the equity holders of Sinclair named therein (collectively, the “Sinclair
Members”). On October 1, 2021, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Purchase Agreement, (1) Sinclair transferred, to the Company, and the Company purchased (the “Interest Purchase”) from
Sinclair, 100 % of the equity interests of Cascade, a Delaware limited liability company, such that immediately after the consummation
of such Interest Purchase, Cascade became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (2) Precision merged (the “Merger”)
with and into a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Precision Extraction NewCo, LLC.
The aggregate consideration for the Interest Purchase
and the Merger consisted of: (a) the sum of $30 million in cash, plus consideration payable to holders of outstanding Sinclair equity
awards, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness, payable in connection with the Interest Purchase; (b)
the number of shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, equal to the quotient of (i) $20.0 million divided by (ii) the volume
weighted-average price per share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the Execution
Date (the “VWAP Price”), issuable in connection with the Merger; and (c) the True-Up Buyer Shares, if any (as defined below),
issuable in connection with the Merger.
The Purchase Agreement
includes customary post-closing adjustments, representations and warranties and covenants of the parties. The Sinclair Members may become
entitled to additional shares of Common Stock (the “True-Up Buyer Shares”) and cash (together with the True-Up Buyer Shares,
the “Aggregate True-Up Payment) based on the eligible net revenues (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) achieved by the Cascade
and Precision businesses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. However, in no event shall the aggregate purchase price paid
by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, taking into account any Aggregate True-Up Payment in favor of the Sinclair
Members, exceed $ 65.0 million.
On August 10, 2022, the Company entered into a
post-closing adjustment settlement agreement (“Agreement”) with Sinclair. The Agreement was entered into in connection with
the Purchase Agreement. According to the Purchase Agreement, $ 2.5 million was held by the escrow agent as the Adjustment Escrow Amount,
$ 4.5 million was held by the escrow agent as the Indemnity Escrow Amount and 588 Buyer Shares were held by the Company as the Holdback
Buyer Shares. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 , the Company made the final
Aggregate True-up Payment of approximately $ 5.6 million, of which, $ 3.3 million was paid in cash and 435 Holdback Buyer Shares
were released to the Sinclair Members and the Company received $ 1.4 million from the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and the remaining $ 1.1
million balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount became part of the Indemnity Escrow Amount.
Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily
of professional fees, related to the acquisition, totaled approximately $ 0 and $ 63 thousand for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022, respectively. All transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

The Company’s initial fair value estimates
related to the various identified intangible assets were determined under various valuation approaches including the Income Approach,
Relief-from-Royalty Method, and Discounted Cash Flow Method. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating
expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well as determine
the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022,
the Company identified an impairment-triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and
associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the
Company deemed that there was an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing as
of June 30, 2022. Based on its interim testing, the Company noted that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets
should be impaired. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing on goodwill and intangible assets may be found
in Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition of PurePressure
On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into
a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Pure Purchase Agreement”) with PurePressure, LLC, a Colorado Limited liability
company (“PurePressure”), and the members of PurePressure (collectively, the “Members”), Benjamin Britton as the
Member Representative thereunder, and each of the Members. Concurrently with the execution of the Pure Purchase Agreement, the Company
consummated the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of PurePressure, such that immediately after the consummation of such
purchase, PurePressure became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”).
The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition
consisted of: (a) $ 4.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness of PurePressure at closing;
(b) 1,646 shares of Common Stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and (c) the Earn-out Consideration (as defined below), to the extent
earned.
The Company withheld 444 of the Buyer Shares issuable
to certain Members (the “Holdback Buyer Shares”) for the purpose of securing any post-closing adjustment owed to the Company
and any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which the Company may be entitled under the Pure Purchase Agreement. During
the third quarter of 2022, 72 of the Holdback Buyer Shares were forfeited after the finalization of the net working capital settlement.
The remaining 371 of the Holdback Buyer Shares will be released following the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance
with and subject to the conditions of the Pure Purchase Agreement.
The Pure Purchase Agreement includes customary
post-closing adjustments, representations and warranties and covenants of the parties. The Members may become entitled to additional consideration
with a value of up to $ 3.0 million based on the eligible net revenues achieved by the PurePressure business during the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, of which 40 % will be payable in cash and the remaining 60 % will be payable by issuing shares
of Common Stock (collectively, the “Earn-out Consideration”). Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent
consideration arrangements may be found in Note 5 – Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Subject to certain customary limitations, (i)
the Members will indemnify the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors and other agents against certain losses related to, among
other things, breaches of the Members’ and PurePressure’s representations and warranties, indebtedness, transaction expenses,
pre-closing taxes and the failure to perform covenants or obligations under the Pure Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Company will indemnify
the Members and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other agents against certain losses related to, among other things,
breaches of the Company’s representations and warranties and the failure to perform covenants or obligations under the Pure Purchase
Agreement.
Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily
of professional fees, related to the acquisition, totaled approximately $ 0 and $ 563 thousand for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022, respectively. All transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses.
The purchase price allocation for the business
combination has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to those allocations may occur as additional information becomes available
during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to
which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, in a private placement transaction, in exchange for the payment by the Investor
of $65 million, less applicable expenses, as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, a
senior secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $65 million (the “SPA Note”) , and a SPA
Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,405 shares of Common Stock.
Securities Exchange Agreement
On August 18, 2022, the
Company reached an agreement with its Investor to amend its existing senior SPA Note and entered into the Exchange Agreement. Pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement, the Company partially paid $ 35.2 million under the SPA Note and exchanged the remaining balance of the SPA
Note for an Exchange Note with an aggregate original principal amount of $ 35.0 million and a new Note Exchange Warrant to purchase 71,138
shares of Common Stock and modified an existing SPA Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,405 shares of Common Stock. The Company
exchanged the SPA Warrant for a new warrant for the same number of underlying shares but with a reduced exercise price (the “Modified
Warrants” and, collectively with the Note Exchange Warrant, the “Warrant Liabilities”). As of September 30, 2022, the
Company had outstanding liability-classified Warrant Liabilities that allows the Investor to purchase shares 105,543 of the Company’s
Common Stock. Additional information regarding the Company’s Warrant Liabilities may be found in Note
1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 –
Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Exchange Note is
a senior secured obligation of the Company and ranks senior to all indebtedness of the Company. The Exchange Note will mature on the
three-year anniversary of its issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and contains a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest
to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning September 1, 2022. The principal amount of the Exchange Note will be payable on the Maturity
Date, provided that the Investor will be entitled to a cash sweep of 20 % of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with any
equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note.
At any time, the Company
may prepay all of the Exchange Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5 % of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Note plus
accrued but unpaid interest. The Investor will also have the option of requiring the Company to redeem the Exchange Note on the one-year
or two-year anniversaries of issuance at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note plus accrued but
unpaid interest, or if the Company undergoes a fundamental change at a price equal to 102.5 % of the then-outstanding principal amount
under the Exchange Note plus accrued but unpaid interest.
46
The Exchange Note imposes
certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that restrict the Company and its subsidiaries
from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of the Company
and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the declaration of any dividends or other
distributions, subject to specified exceptions, require the Company not to exceed maximum levels of allowable cash spend while the
Exchange Note is outstanding, and require the Company to maintain minimum amounts of cash on hand. If an event of default under the
Exchange Note occurs, the Investor can elect to redeem the Exchange Note for cash equal to 115 % of the then-outstanding principal amount
of the Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the Investor), plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest,
which accrues at a rate per year equal to 15 % from the date of a default or event of default. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is
in compliance with the financial debt covenants associated with its Exchange Note.
Until the date the Exchange
Note is fully repaid, the Investor has, subject to certain exceptions, the right to participate for up to 30 % of any offering of debt,
equity (other than an offering of solely Common Stock), or equity-linked securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred
stock or other instrument or security, of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Modified Warrant
have an exercise price of $ 430.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar
transactions, will be exercisable on and after the six-month anniversary of issuance, have a term of five and one-half years from the
date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale
of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Modified Warrant (the “Modified Warrant Shares”) or if shareholder approval for
the full exercise of the Modified Warrant is not received, in which case the Modified Warrant will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise
basis at the Investor’s election.
The Note Exchange Warrant
have an exercise price of $ 246.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar
transactions, were exercisable upon issuance, and have a term of five and one-half years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable
on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant (the “Note Exchange Warrant Shares” and, together with the Modified Warrant Shares, the “Exchange Warrant Shares”)
or if shareholder approval for the full exercise of the Note Exchange Warrant is not received, in which case the Note Exchange Warrant
will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis at the Investor’s election. Until the Company completes a qualified equity
financing of at least $ 15.0 million, which requirement was satisfied with sales under the ATM Program, the Note Exchange Warrant’s
exercise price would have been reduced to the extent the Company issues securities, subject to certain exceptions, for a lower purchase
price. The Note Exchange Warrant also prohibited the Company, until following the completion of such qualified equity financing, from
issuing warrants with more favorable or preferential terms and/or provisions.
The Warrant Liabilities
will each provide that in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of such warrant result in the Investor’s
beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of exercise (which percentage
may be decreased or increased by the Investor, but to no greater than 9.99%, and provided that any increase above 4.99% will not be effective
until the sixty-first day after notice of such request by the Investor to increase its beneficial ownership limit has been delivered to
the Company). Additionally, the Warrant Liabilities could be exercised for more than an aggregate of 26,542 shares of Common Stock unless
and until shareholder approval is obtained, which approval was obtained on October 14, 2022.

The Company received total proceeds of approximately
$ 779 thousand from the unsecured PPP Loan, which was originally scheduled to mature on May 7, 2022 . The SBA denied the Company’s
submission to have the remaining $ 779 thousand PPP Loan forgiven. On June 23, 2022, the Company received a letter from Bank of America
agreeing to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00 % per year. The PPP loan is payable in 34 equal
combined monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $ 24 thousand that commenced on August 7, 2022.

Note 11 — Leases
Leases
The determination if any arrangement contained
a lease at its inception was done based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period. The
lease term was determined assuming the exercise of options that were reasonably certain to occur. Leases with a lease term of 12 months
or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s balance sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis
over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months were reflected as non-current right-of-use assets and current and
non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As the implicit interest rate in its leases was
generally not known, the Company’s used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present
value of its lease liabilities. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s weighted-average discount rate utilized
for its leases was 7.27 % and 7.16 %, respectively.
When a contract contained lease and non-lease
elements, both were accounted as a single lease component.
The Company had several non-cancelable finance
leases for machinery and equipment. The Company’s finance leases have remaining lease terms of one year to five years.
The Company had several non-cancelable operating
leases for corporate offices, warehouses, showrooms, research and development facilities and vehicles. The Company’s leases have
remaining lease terms of one year to five years, some of which include options to extend. Some leases include
payment for communal area maintenance associated with the property.

Note 12 — Convertible Promissory Notes
On January 11, 2021, the Company’s Board
of Directors and shareholders approved the amendment to the conversion formula of the Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Convertible
Notes”) issued by the Company on dates between August 2020 and November 2020. Pursuant to the amendment, immediately prior to the
consummation of a public transaction, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, shall convert into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $ 1,544.00 per
share.
While the original conversion feature was bifurcated
from the host instrument, the Company determined that the amended conversion feature would not require bifurcation. Since the accounting
for the conversion feature changed because of the amendment, the Company applied extinguishment accounting pursuant to its accounting
policy.
Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on
extinguishment of $ 2.7 million in connection with the derecognition of the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt of $ 19.6 million
(inclusive of $ 13.1 million of principal, $ 7.1 million of derivative liabilities, less $ 587 thousand of debt discount) and the recognition
of the $ 16.9 million fair value of the new convertible notes (including the same principal amount of $ 13.1 million plus the $ 3.8 million
fair value of the beneficial conversion feature).
On February 1, 2021, in conjunction with the closing
of the Company’s IPO, the Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $ 13.1 million were converted into 8,485 shares
of Common Stock at the election of the Company at a conversion price of $ 77.20 per share.
Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity
On July 11, 2022, the Company increased its authorized
number of shares of Common Stock to 5,150,000 consisting of: 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
On January 9, 2020, the Company designated 100,000 shares of the 3,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock, as Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company
issued an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 6.0 million. In May 2020, the Company
completed an offering of Series A Preferred Stock with the issuance of an additional 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $ 4.0 million.
Amendment of Conversion Formulas
On January 11, 2021, the Company’s Board
of Directors approved the amendment to the conversion formula of the Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes. After the amendment:
● the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time after the issuance or immediately prior to the closing of a public transaction, into Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to (i) the product of the Series A Preferred Stock original price plus accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares being converted, multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, divided by (ii) a conversion price of $1,544.00 per share (after the reverse split taking effect); and
●
immediately prior to the consummation of a public transaction, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest shall convert into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder immediately prior to such public transaction divided by (ii) a conversion price of $1,544.00 per share (after the reverse split taking effect).
On January 11, 2021, the Company’s shareholders
approved the amendment to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Initial Public Offering
On February 1, 2021, the Company completed an
IPO for the sale of 27,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $ 2,000.00 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters: (a) a
45-day option to purchase up to 4,050 additional shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any
over-allotments in connection with the IPO, and (b) warrants to purchase 810 shares of Common Stock (equal to 3 % of the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO) at an exercise price of $ 2,500.00 per share (which is equal to 125 % of the IPO price). Subsequently,
the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option, and on February 4, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 4,050 shares
of Common Stock for a price of $ 2,000.00 per share and granted to the underwriters warrants to purchase 121 additional shares of Common
Stock (equal to 3 % of the amount of shares issued as part of the exercised of the over-allotment option) at an exercise price of $ 2,500.00
per share. The exercise of the over-allotment option brought the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Company in connection
with the IPO to 31,050 shares and the total net proceeds received in connection with the IPO to approximately $ 57.0 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s
IPO, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes were converted into 6,865 shares of Common Stock and 8,485
shares of Common Stock, respectively, at a conversion price of $ 1,544.00 per share.
Subsequent Public Offering
On February 19, 2021, the Company consummated
a secondary public offering (the “February Offering”) for the sale of 27,778 shares of Common Stock for a price of $ 2,700.00
per share. The Company also granted the underwriters: (a) a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,167 additional shares of Common Stock on
the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with the February Offering, and (b) warrants
to purchase 833 shares of Common Stock (equal to 3 % of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued in the February Offering)
at an exercise price of $ 3,375.00 per share (which is equal to 125 % of the February Offering). Subsequently, the underwriters exercised
the over-allotment option, and on March 22, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 4,167 shares of Common Stock for a price
of $ 2,700.00 per share and granted to the underwriters warrants to purchase 125 additional shares of Common Stock (equal to 3 % of the
amount of shares issued as part of the exercised of the over-allotment option) at an exercise price of $ 3,375 per share. The exercise
of the over-allotment option brought the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Company in connection with the February Offering
to 31,944 shares and the total net proceeds received in connection with the February Offering to approximately $ 80.0 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
Underwriter Termination
On September 14, 2021, the Company entered into
a letter agreement and waiver (the “Letter Agreement”), to amend the terms of its underwriting agreement with the representative
of the underwriters in the IPO. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the representative agreed to waive the right of first refusal included
in the underwriting agreement in consideration of a cash payment to the representative of $ 2.4 million and the right to participate as
a co-manager with 10 % of the economics with respect to the Company’s next public offering of securities, payable in cash upon the
closing of such offering.
Private Placement
On January 25, 2022, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Agreement”) with an institutional investor and other accredited investors
for the sale by the Company of 12,252 shares (the “SA Shares”) of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,853 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,079
shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and, collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “SA Warrants”),
in a private placement offering. The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock (or one Pre-Funded Warrant) and the accompanying
fraction of a Common Warrant was $1,360.00 per share.
Subject to certain ownership limitations, the
SA Warrants are exercisable six months from issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant was exercisable into one share of Common Stock
at a price per share of $0.001 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof). Each Common Warrant is exercisable
into one share of Common Stock at a price per share of $1,496.00 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof)
and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date. The institutional investor that received the Pre-Funded Warrants
fully exercised such warrants in March 2022.
Raymond Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, and Stuart Wilcox, who is currently the Chief Operating Officer, and at the time was a member of the Company’s Board
of Directors, participated in the private placement on essentially the same terms as other investors, except for having a combined purchase
price of $ 1,380.00 per share.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the private
placement were approximately $ 27.3 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, and
excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the SA Warrants.

Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans
2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On April 29, 2022, the Company’s Board of
Directors, and on June 8, 2022, the Company’s stockholders, adopted and approved the 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022
Plan”), which replaced the 2020 Stock Option Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of stock options,
stock appreciation right awards, performance share awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, other stock-based awards
and cash-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be reserved and available for grant and issuance under
the 2022 Plan is 26,483 shares, which includes the 10,000 shares authorized under the 2022 Plan, plus the rollover of 16,483 issued and
outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan. Shares will be deemed to have been issued under the 2022 Plan solely to the extent actually issued
and delivered pursuant to an award. If any award granted under the 2020 Plan or the 2022 Plan expires, is canceled, or terminates unexercised
or is forfeited, the number of shares subject thereto is again available for grant under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan shall continue in
effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company’s
stock option compensation expense was $ 1.6 million and $ 941 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
and $ 3.5 million and $ 4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There was $ 4.3 million
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options granted under the Company’s options plans as of September 30,
2022. This stock option expense will be recognized through 2025.
The fair value of each option is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free
market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying Common Stock, expected option life, and expected volatility in the market
value of the underlying Common Stock. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The following table summarizes the Company’s
assumptions used in the valuation of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021:
Volatility
40
%
Risk-free interest rate
1.10 % – 1.63
%
Dividend yield
0.00
%
0% Expected life (Years)

Forfeiture rate
0.00
%
52
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed
for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s
stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide
a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for
United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s
history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. The Company
calculates the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price
for a period consistent with the underlying instrument’s expected term. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified
method for employees and directors.
In arriving at stock-based compensation expense,
the Company estimates the number of stock-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. The Company’s forfeiture
assumption is based primarily on its employee turnover historical experience. If the actual forfeiture rate is higher than the estimated
forfeiture rate, then an adjustment will be made to increase the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in a decrease to the expense
recognized in the Company’s financial statements. If the actual forfeiture rate is lower than the estimated forfeiture rate, then
an adjustment will be made to lower the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in an increase to expense recognized in the Company’s
financial statements. The expense the Company recognizes in future periods will be affected by changes in the estimated forfeiture rate
and may differ significantly from amounts recognized in the current period.
As of September 30, 2022, there were 3,234 shares
of Common Stock available to be granted under the Company’s 2022 Plan.

2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On April 29, 2022, the Company’s Board of
Directors, and on June 8, 2022, the Company’s stockholders, adopted and approved the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
The Company has initially reserved 2,500 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the ESPP. On September 30, 2022, 2,500 shares
were available for future issuance.
Under the ESPP, eligible employees are granted
options to purchase shares of Common Stock at the lower of 85 % of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant or 85 %
of the fair market value at the time of exercise. Options to purchase shares are granted twice yearly on or about August 1 and February
1 and are exercisable on or about the succeeding January 31 and July 31, respectively, of each year. No participant may purchase more
than $ 25 thousand worth of Common Stock annually. No Common Stock was granted under the 2022 ESPP during the nine months ended September
30, 2022.
Employee Benefit Plan
The Company maintains an employee’s savings
and retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401k Plan”). All full-time U.S. employees
become eligible to participate in the 401k Plan. The Company’s contribution to the 401k Plan is discretionary. During the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not contribute to the 401k Plan.

and $ 2 thousand and $ 9 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 16 — Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate
was 0.0 % for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The income tax benefit was $ 0 for both the three months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The Company’s effective income tax rate
was 0.2 % and 0.0 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax benefit was $ 262 thousand and
$ 0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates
for the 2022 and 2021 periods and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 % was primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s
deferred tax assets. The change in the income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a discrete income tax benefit of $ 200 thousand recorded during the first quarter of 2022, which
is attributable to a non-recurring partial release of the Company’s U.S. valuation allowance as a result of the Lab Society acquisition.
Additionally, as a result of the goodwill impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a small
benefit of $ 62 thousand related to the reversal of its opening deferred tax liability on indefinite-lived assets.
Note 17 — Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share calculations for all periods
have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s reverse stock splits. Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted-average
number of its Common Stock then outstanding.
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the
weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is calculated using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities, including Common
Stock equivalents and convertible securities. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net loss per share because the
effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods, including options and warrants computed using the treasury stock method,
is anti-dilutive.
The components of basic and diluted net loss per
share were as follows:

Additional information regarding the reverse stock splits may be found in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies , included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
55
The Company’s
potential dilutive securities, which include stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per
share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used
to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the
following potential common shares equivalents presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted
net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive

Legal Matters
Cooper and Weinstein Matter
On January 5, 2021, the Company received a demand
letter from Nicholas Cooper and Richard Weinstein, (two of the Company’s former employees), and one of Mr. Cooper’s affiliated
entities, asserting that Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein were entitled to compensation arising out of their employment by the Company, and
their partial ownership of TriGrow Systems, LLC which had been acquired by the Company. The demand letter asserts that Messrs. Cooper
and Weinstein are due certain sales commissions under their applicable bonus plan, equity earn-outs based on certain sales targets, and
various equity purchases through the Company’s employee stock ownership plan. The demand letter also asserts various employment
claims, including but not limited to, statutory wage withholding violations, wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of the duty
of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement, promissory estoppel, minority shareholder oppression, breach of fiduciary duty,
unjust enrichment, and violations of state and federal securities laws.
On January 19, 2021, Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein
filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging the same claims
made in their demand letter based on the facts disclosed above. The plaintiffs are seeking relief in the form of monetary damages in an
amount to be determined. Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein are also seeking relief in the form of reinstatement and Mr. Weinstein is seeking
rescission of his previously executed Release of Claims Agreement. On March 10, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss all Messrs. Cooper
and Weinstein’s claims, asserting that the claims failed to allege legal grounds for relief. On May 12, 2021, a Magistrate issued
a preliminary Report and Recommendation, which recommended dismissal of certain of Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein’s claims, and recommended
others for additional factual discovery. On July 27, 2021, a District Judge entered an order partially adopting the Report and Recommendation,
dismissing one claim with prejudice, dismissing a second claim with leave to amend, and permitting the remaining claims to proceed.
Additionally, on July 29, 2021, the Company filed
a separate arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts against Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein, in which the Company alleges that Messrs. Cooper
and Weinstein were liable for certain conduct during the time they were TriGrow employees, including breach of fiduciary duty, unjust
enrichment, usurpation of corporate opportunity, conversion, fraudulent concealment, and false representation. Also on July 29, 2021,
the Company submitted a claim for indemnification to certain legacy TriGrow Systems, LLC. shareholders. The claim for indemnification
relates to conduct by Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein during the time they were TriGrow employees. During the third quarter of 2022, the
Company and Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein settled all claims and potential claims between themselves and any affiliated entities by the
Company to Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein, and a related entity for approximately $ 800 thousand.
United States Customs Seizure Matter
On June 28, 2022, the Company was notified by
the United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) that they seized 123 cartons of horticulture grow lights appraised
at approximately $ 623 thousand at the Port of Savannah, Georgia based on CBP’s interpretation of certain importation laws which
prohibit the importation of certain goods that are subject to health and safety legal restrictions, including a prohibition on the importation
of drug paraphernalia, in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 863(a). The Company is currently disputing the seizure. The Company does not
believe these claims have any merit and intends to vigorously defend its position.

Commitments
Supply Agreement with Mack Molding Co.
In December 2020, the Company entered into a five-year
supply agreement with Mack Molding Co. (“Mack”) pursuant to which Mack will become a key supplier of VFUs. In February 2021,
the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $ 5.2 million towards the initial production of VFUs during 2021.
In September 2021, the Company increased the purchase order with Mack to approximately $ 11.5 million towards production of VFUs during
2021 and 2022. The Company believes the supply agreement with Mack will provide the Company with increased scaling capabilities and the
ability to meet the potential future demand of its customers more efficiently. The supply agreement contemplates that, following an introductory
period, the Company will negotiate a minimum percentage of the VFU requirements that the Company will purchase from Mack each year based
on the agreed-upon pricing formula. The introductory period is not time-based but rather refers to the production of an initial number
of units after which the parties have rights to adjust pricing and negotiate a certain minimum requirements percentage. The Company believes
this approach will result in both parties making a more informed decision with respect to the pricing and other terms of the supply agreement
with Mack.
Distribution Agreements with Related Party
On September 7, 2019, the Company entered into
a distribution agreement with Bluezone Products, Inc. (“Bluezone”) for distribution rights to the Bluezone products with certain
exclusivity rights. The agreement requires minimum purchases amounting to $ 480 thousand and $ 600 thousand for the first and second contract
anniversary years. The agreement auto-renews for successive one-year periods unless earlier terminated. In March 2021, the Company notified
Bluezone of the non-renewal of the agreement which means it ended on May 31, 2021. The Company exceeded the minimum purchase amount for
the first year and purchased approximately $ 309 thousand of the committed $ 660 thousand second-year purchases through December 31, 2021.
Bluezone is a related party to the Company.
Committed Purchase Agreement with Related
Party – Greenstone
On December 29, 2021, Greenstone purchased 239
VFUs from the Company of which 60 VFUs were already in Greenstone’s possession under a lease agreement. Under the lease agreement,
Greenstone owed the Company a production service fee of $ 300 per pound of flower produced and contained an option to purchase the equipment
within the lease agreement. The term of this agreement was for ten years , but it was terminated upon signing the purchase agreement for
the 239 VFUs. There is no remaining obligation under the lease agreement. The remaining 179 VFUs were shipped to the Greenstone storage
facility on December 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Greenstone is a related party to the Company. Additional information regarding recent
developments with Greenstone may be found in Note 6 – Loan Receivable, included elsewhere
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Committed Purchase Agreement with Related
Party – Ora Pharm
In June 2022, the Company entered into an agreement
with Ora Pharm (“Ora”) pursuant to which Ora will purchase approximately $ 1.6 million in equipment from the Company, and Ora
may purchase software services from the Company in the future. Mr. Wilcox is the Chairman of Ora. Mr. Wilcox has not had an interest in
any transaction since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction. There are no family
relationships among any of the Company’s directors or executive officers and Mr. Wilcox.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is potentially subject to claims related
to various non-income taxes (such as sales, value-added, consumption, and similar taxes) from various tax authorities, including in jurisdictions
in which the Company already collects and remits such taxes. If the relevant taxing authorities successfully pursue these claims, the
Company could be subject to additional tax liabilities.
Refer to Note 10 – Debt, included elsewhere
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s future minimum debt payments. Refer to Note 11
– Leases, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s future minimum
lease payments under operating and financing lease liabilities. Refer to Note 16 – Income Taxes, included elsewhere in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding income tax contingencies.

Note 20 — Subsequent Events
Bud & Mary’s Litigation
On September 15, 2022, the Company provided a
notice of default to Bud & Mary’s and certain related parties notifying such parties that Bud & Mary’s was in default
of its obligations under the Bud & Mary TTK Agreement. On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of Massachusetts in Suffolk County naming the Company as defendant. Bud & Mary’s is seeking, among other relief, monetary
damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and conversion arising from the Agreement.
While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations,
litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company
deemed it necessary to fully reserve for the outstanding $ 14.7 million note receivable balance outstanding due to the current litigation
and the uncertainty of the customer’s ability to repay the outstanding balance. The $ 14.7 million represents the amount of
the contingent loss that the Company has determined to be reasonably possible and estimable. The actual cost of resolving this matter
may be higher or lower than the amount the Company has reserved. In addition, $ 5.3 million of the notes receivable balance for work performed
during the third quarter of 2022 has been recorded as an unbilled note receivable and deferred the revenue to a future period. The Company
has recognized the expenses associated with the work completed in the current period due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability
to recover the funds owed by the customer and its obligations to the vendors that have performed this work. The Company determined that
it will only recognize unbilled notes receivable revenue if cash is collected from the customer in a future period.
Approval of Issuance of Shares Upon Exercise of Warrants
On October 14, 2022, the Company received approval
for the issuance of up to 105,544 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the SPA Warrant
and Note Exchange Warrant in connection with the issuance of a senior secured note and the exchange
of previously issued warrants in August 2022, and the reduction of the exercise price of certain of those warrants under certain
circumstances, was approved. Additional information regarding the Warrant Liabilities may be found in Note
10 – Debt, included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
At The Marketing Offering
In October 2022, the Company entered into the
ATM Program with the Agent. The ATM Program allows the Company to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to specific parameters defined
by the Company as well as those defined by the SEC and the ATM Program agreement. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2022,
as of November 7, 2022, the Company sold 306,628 shares of Common Stock, under the ATM at an average price of $ 50.80 per share, resulting
in gross proceeds to the Company of $ 15.6 million, and net proceeds of $ 15.1 million after commissions and fees to the Agent totaling
$ 468 thousand. $ 3.1 million of the proceeds under the ATM Program were used to repay amounts due to the Investor under the Exchange Note.
The ATM allows for quick and agile sales of Common Stock to interested investors and provides an opportunity to raise additional capital
for working capital requirements or to fund strategic opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. The Company has used,
and intends to continue to use, the net proceeds generated from the ATM Program for working capital and general corporate purposes, including
repayment of indebtedness, funding its transformation initiatives and product category expansion efforts and capital expenditures.
Nasdaq Deficiency Notices
On October
4, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”)
of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid
price for the Company’s Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required to maintain a
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). In accordance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain
compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share
for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days during this 180-day compliance period, unless the Staff exercises its discretion
to extend the minimum trading day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(G). On October 28, 2022, the Staff notified the Company
that the closing bid price for its Common Stock was more than $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days, and that the Company therefore regained
compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
59
On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice
from Nasdaq stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022,
the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to
timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As disclosed by the Company on Form 8-K filed
on April 17, 2023, the Company’s audit committee concluded that, as a result of inadvertent errors in the accounting for warrants
previously issued by the Company, it was appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Given the
scope of the process for preparing the Amended 10-Qs, the Company was unable to complete and file the Form 10-K by the required due date
of March 31, 2023. The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days from April 18, 2023, or until June 20, 2023, to regain compliance
by filing the Form 10-K or to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
On May 17, 2023, the Company received a second
notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 with the SEC by the required due date. This notice requires the Company
to submit a plan to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements by June 20, 2023. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s
plan, then Nasdaq may, in its discretion, grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-K, or until
October 16, 2023, to regain compliance.
On August 16, 2023, the Company received a third
notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 with the SEC by the required filing date. This notice noted that
Nasdaq has previously granted the Company an exception until September 30, 2023, to file its Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q. This
notice also requires the Company to update its original plan to regain compliance with the filing requirement, including the Company’s
plans to file the Second Quarter Form 10-Q, and indicate the progress the Company has made towards implementing the plan submitted in
connection with the Initial Delinquent Filing.
Agrify-Valiant
On October 27, 2022, the Company provided notice
to Valiant-America, LLC that the Company intended to begin the winding up of Agrify-Valiant.
Appointment of Raymond Chang as
principal financial and accounting officer and Resignation of Timothy Oakes and Chief Financial Officer
On January 6, 2023, Timothy Oakes, the Chief Financial
Officer of Agrify Corporation (the “Company”), resigned effective February 28, 2023. In connection with Mr. Oakes’ resignation,
the Company has engaged WilliamsMarston LLC to assist with accounting and internal control matters and is continuing its process to identify
a replacement Chief Financial Officer. Further, Raymond Chang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will serve as the Company’s
principal financial and accounting officer.

Bowdoin Litigation
On February 22, 2023, Bowdoin Construction Corp.
(“Bowdoin”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Norfolk County naming the Company, Bud & Mary’s
and certain related parties as defendants. The Bowdoin Complaint relates to a construction contract between Bowdoin and Agrify relating
to the property that is the subject of the Bud & Mary’s Complaint and alleges breach of contract by Bud & Mary’s and
by Agrify due to nonpayment of approximately $ 7.0 million due under the contract and related indemnification claims and mechanics’
liens. While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself against Bowdoin’s allegations,
litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
On March 1, 2023, the Company filed Articles of
Amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada.
The Charter Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 , and
correspondingly increased the total authorized shares of stock from 103,000,000 to 203,000,000 . The Charter Amendment was approved by
the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting on February 28, 2023 and became effective upon filing.
Securities Exchange Agreement
On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a new
Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with an accredited lender. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at
closing the Company will prepay approximately $ 10.3 million in principal amount under the Exchange Note and exchange $ 10.0 in principal
amount of the remaining balance of the Exchange Note for a new senior secured convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) with
an original principal amount of $ 10.0 million. The Convertible Note will be a senior secured obligation of the Company and will rank senior
to all indebtedness of the Company. The Convertible Note will mature on August 19, 2025 and will contain a 9.0 % annualized interest rate,
with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning April 1, 2023.
Concurrently with the closing under the Exchange
Agreement, the Company and the Lender will enter into an Amendment to the Exchange Note (the “Note Amendment”). Pursuant to
the Note Amendment, the Exchange Note will be amended to, among other changes, remove covenants that require the Company not to exceed
maximum levels of allowable cash spend while the Exchange Note is outstanding and require the Company to maintain minimum amounts of cash
on hand.
On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a
letter agreement with the above referenced accredited lender (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the
lender agreed to exchange $ 2.0 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note for 8,903,927 shares of common
stock of the Company, subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99 % of the Company’s Common Stock.
Issuance of Unsecured Promissory Note
On July 12, 2023, the Board of Directors of the
Company approved the issuance of an unsecured promissory note in favor of GIC Acquisition, LLC (the “Investor”), an entity
that is owned and managed by Raymond Chang, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Note, the Investor
will lend up to $ 500,000 to the Company. The Note bears interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, will mature in full on August 6, 2023, and
may be prepaid without any fee or penalty. The Note ranks junior to all existing secured indebtedness of the Company.
