9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means
controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on the results of this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not
effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, management
identified material weaknesses related to inadequate design of the controls over the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
due to the lack of a timeline and process in place to timely close the Company’s annual books and records.
49
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include
an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm because we are an “emerging growth company,” and
may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging
growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Remediation
of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the course of preparing the financial statements
that were included in certain filings with the SEC during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we identified material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses related to inadequate design of the controls over the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements due to the lack of a timeline and process in place to timely close the Company’s annual
books and records, which was identified during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and insufficient technical accounting resources
and lack of segregation of duties, which were identified during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. A material weakness is a deficiency
or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of its financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in misstatements
to our financial statements that could be material and may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of December 31, 2021, we were in varying stages
of remediating the current and previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. During the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we have increased the number of accounting resources employed by the Company. We have added
technically qualified personnel and are in the process of improving the Company’s technical accounting resources and capabilities.
Additionally, the expansion in accounting department resources has enabled the Company to create necessary and proper segregation of duties
between transactional, reconciliation and review and approval functions.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we took steps
to address our material weakness related to control over the timeliness of our financial statement close process. While these actions,
which include adding public company-experienced resources to our accounting department staff, have already served to introduce improved
financial statement close-related policies and procedures, we will need to continue to devote specific attention to this aspect of our
internal control environment to ensure that this material weakness is fully remediated in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
The material weakness related to the timeliness
of our financial control process will not be considered fully remediated until these additional controls and procedures have operated
effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. Our management
will monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate. If not remediated,
this material weakness could result in material misstatements to our annual or interim financial statements that may not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis or result in a delayed filing of required periodic reports. If we are unable to assert that our internal
control over financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future, if our independent registered public accounting firm is
unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose
confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected
and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by the Nasdaq Capital Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which
could require additional financial and management resources.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other
than the changes to remediate the material weakness noted above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT

Agrify
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Agrify
Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 , and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note
1 — Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description
of Business
Agrify
Corporation (“Agrify” or the “Company”) is a developer of highly advanced and proprietary precision hardware
and software grow solutions for the indoor agriculture marketplace and provides equipment and solutions for cultivation, extraction,
post-processing, and testing for the cannabis and hemp industry. The Company was formed in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2016 as Agrinamics,
Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Agrify Corporation. The Company is sometimes referred to herein by the words “we,”
“us,” “our,” and similar terminology.
The
Company has eight wholly owned subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”:
● AGM
Service Corp LLC (formerly AGM Service Corp Inc.);
● TriGrow
Systems, LLC (“TriGrow”, which acted as the Company’s exclusive distributor
and which was acquired in January 2020 as TriGrow Systems, Inc. and converted to TriGrow
Systems, LLC in May 2020);
● Ariafy
Finance, LLC;
● Agxiom,
LLC;
● Harbor
Mountain Holdings, LLC (“HMH”)(acquired in July 2020);
● Cascade
Sciences, LLC (“Cascade”)(which was acquired by the Company on October 1, 2021);
● Precision
Extraction NewCo, LLC (“Precision”)(which was a newly formed subsidiary in connection
with October 1, 2021 acquisition of Mass2Media, LLC, d/b/a PX2 Holdings, LLC, d/b/a Precision
Extraction Solutions and Cascade); and
● PurePressure,
LLC (“PurePressure”)(which was acquired by the Company on December 31, 2021).
The
Company also has ownership interests in the following companies:
● Teejan
Podoponics International LLC (“TPI”)(the Company has owned 50% of TPI”
since December 2018);
● Agrify-Valiant,
LLC (“Agrify-Valiant”)(the Company owns 60% of Agrify-Valient, which was formed
in December 2019); and
● Agrify Brands, LLC (“Agrify Brands”)(formerly TriGrow Brands, LLC)(the Company owns 75% of Agrify Brands, which ownership position was created as part of the January 2020 acquisition of TriGrow).
On
February 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LS Holdings
Corp. (“Lab Society”), Lab Society NewCo, LLC, 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”). See Note 23,
Subsequent Events included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
January 12, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-1.581804 reverse stock split. 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.
Initial
Public Offering and Secondary Public Offering
On
February 1, 2021, we closed our initial public offering, or (“IPO”), of 6,210,000 shares of common stock (inclusive of 810,000
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 SEC on January 27, 2021. Maxim Group LLC and Roth
Capital Partners acted as the underwriters. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $ 10.00 per share. The total
gross proceeds from the offering were $ 62.1 million.
F- 7
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 offering were approximately $ 57 million. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we used the net proceeds
from the IPO for our current working capital needs to support accounts receivable growth, manage inventory to meet demand forecasts,
and support operational growth.
On
February 19, 2021, we consummated a secondary public offering (the “February Offering”) of 5,555,555 shares of common stock
for a price of $ 13.50 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 22, 2021, we closed on the sale of an
additional 833,333 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 us in connection with the
February Offering to 6,388,888 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. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we used
the net proceeds from the IPO for our current working capital needs to support accounts receivable growth, manage inventory to meet demand
forecasts, and support operational growth.
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 (i) a cash payment of $ 2.4 million
and (ii) the right to participate as a co-manager with ten percent ( 10 %) of the economics with respect to the Company’s next public
offering of securities, payable in cash upon the closing of such offering.
Coronavirus
(“COVID-19”) Pandemic
The
spike of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in the U.S. markets. There is significant uncertainty
around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy. To date,
there has not been a material impact on the Company’s business operations and financial performance. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on
the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend in part, on the length and severity of these restrictions and on
the Company’s ability to conduct business in the ordinary course.
The
Paycheck Protection Program
In
May and July 2020, the Company entered into two separate PPP Loans with 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 “PPP Loans”). The Company received total proceeds of
approximately $ 823 thousand from the unsecured PPP Loans, of which $ 44 thousand was forgiven in September 2021. The Company’s
application related to the forgiveness of the remaining outstanding balance of PPP Loans is currently under review by the
SBA.
Note
2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Accounting for Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and include the accounts
of Agrify Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as described above in Note 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation,
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.
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 (“ASC
810”), 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. VIEs 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, it is consolidated.
Based
on the Company’s analysis for these entities, the Company has determined that Agrify-Valiant, LLC and Agrify Brands, LLC are each
a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. While the Company owns 60 % of Agrify-Valiant, LLC’s equity interests and
75 % of Agrify Brands, LLC’s equity interests, the remaining equity interests in Agrify-Valiant, LLC and Agrify Brands, LLC are
owned by unrelated third parties, and the agreement with these third parties provides the Company with greater voting rights. Accordingly,
the Company consolidates the financial statements of Agrify-Valiant, LLC and Agrify Brands, LLC 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.
F- 8
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 or other relevant factors that it believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances. 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 results could differ from those
estimates.
Fiscal
Year
The
Company, and its Subsidiaries, Fiscal Year ends on December 31, each year.
Emerging
Growth Company
We
qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to
as the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable
to other 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.
We
will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of:
●
our reporting $1.0 billion or more in annual gross
revenues;
●
our issuance, in a three-year period, of more than
$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt;
●
the end of the fiscal year in which the market value
of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; and
●
December 31, 2026.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. In this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, we have reclassified our capitalized website costs so that they are included as part of our aggregate intangible assets, net
in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist principally of cash and deposits with maturities of three months or less as of December 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
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
held to maturity 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 those investments
which will mature within the next 12 months including interest receivable on the long-term bonds.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net primarily consists of
amounts billed and currently due from customers. Accounts receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which
is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, the Company
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. Account 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.
F- 9
Concentration
of Credit Risk and Significant Customer
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. The
Company places its cash with financial institutions in the United States. The cash balances are insured by the FDIC up to $ 250 thousand
per depositor with unlimited insurance for funds in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2021. At times, the
amounts in these accounts may exceed the federally insured limits.
The Company has certain customers whose revenue
individually represented 10 % or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represent
10 % or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Refer to the following table.

Inventories
The
Company values all of its inventories, which consist primarily of 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. Physical inventories are taken
at least once annually for all inventory locations.
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 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
F- 10
Estimated
useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated
from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations in the
period of 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 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 a decline in the Company’s
market value as a result of a significant decline in the Company’s stock price. There have been no impairment charges recorded
for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020.
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 customer-related 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

In
performing the review of the recoverability 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 originally estimated
useful life. If, as a result of examining any of these factors, the Company concludes that the carrying value of intangible asset exceeds
its estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recognized and reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
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 Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 of the FASB. The
accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company 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 instrument is determined to not be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion
feature (“BCF”) by comparing the commitment date fair value to the effective conversion price of the instrument. The Company
records a BCF as 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.
Leases
The
Company determines at the inception of a 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 the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of
12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, but payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
The
Company’s 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.
F- 11
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 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 recognized. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue
as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month
period is recorded as a current liability and the remaining portion is recorded as a noncurrent 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 and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award’s recipient’s
payroll costs are classified.
The fair value of each stock option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically had been a private company and
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.
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
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Significant
judgments are used in determining fair values 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 fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the
Company's operating results.
For contingent consideration arrangements, a liability
is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date with subsequent fair value adjustments recorded in 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.
F- 12
Revenue
Recognition
Overview
The
Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) services sales and (3) construction contracts.
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.
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 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.
F- 13
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 into enters contracts that can 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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.
The
Company utilizes the cost-plus margin method to determine the SSP for equipment and buildout services. It 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
SSP for services in time and materials contracts is determined by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.
Variable
consideration in the form of royalties, revenue share, monthly fees, and service credits are estimated 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 contracts have 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any such financial
income.
Payment terms with customers typically require
payment 30 days from 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 a 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.
F- 14
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 fulfils
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.
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.
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 sales. 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 which 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 December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 are solely directed by TPI. Based on our 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 December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company did not recognize revenue from TPI for the years ended December
31, 2021 and 2020.
F- 15
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.
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 December 31, 2021, tax years 2016 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.
For the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company
recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $ 25 thousand, comprised of its change in deferred tax liability during the year related
to its indefinite lived intangible asset balance. The indefinite lived intangibles are not all available as a source of income and thus
are not fully available to offset the Company's deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has federal and state net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $ 52.2 million and $ 28.9 million, respectively. The Company has not yet filed its 2018, 2019,
2020 and 2021 federal and state tax returns.
There was no federal income tax expense for the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to the Company’s net losses. The Company has not yet filed its 2018, 2019, 2020 and
2021 federal and state tax returns.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable
to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic loss per share
is computed 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 antidilutive 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 split effected on January 12, 2021. Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted
average number of common stock outstanding.

Note 3 — Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred
in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred
in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or
obtain internal-use software. The new standard requires capitalized costs to be amortized on a straight-line basis generally over the
term of the arrangement, and the financial statement presentation for these capitalized costs would be the same as that of the fees related
to the hosting arrangements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020, using a prospective approach. The adoption
of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Subsequent impact will
depend on the magnitude of implementation costs to be incurred. Implementation costs capitalized subsequent to adoption will be recognized
in operating expenses in the statements of operations over the non-cancelable period of the hosting arrangement plus any renewal periods
reasonably certain to be taken.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 if this guidance will have a material effect to its
consolidated financial statements.
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 U.S. 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. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the new standard 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 U.S. 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 evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
All other Accounting Standards Updates issued
but not yet effective are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future financial statements.
F- 17
Note 4 — Revenue and Deferred Revenue
Revenue
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
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 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 two main sub-contractors to execute the construction contracts.

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. As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintains a reserve for warranty
returns of $ 398 thousand. No warranty reserve was recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2020. The reserve for warranty returns is
included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Note 5 — Fair Value Measures
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
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 December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
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, accounts receivable, loan receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, derivative liabilities,
deferred revenue, and long-term debt. Fair value information for each of these instruments is as follows:
●
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and deferred revenue liabilities fair values approximate their carrying values, due to the expected duration of these instruments.
●
Marketable securities classified as held to maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, which as of December 31, 2021, approximated fair value.
F- 19
●
The Company had certain derivative instruments accounted for at fair value. The Company held a convertible promissory note with a preferential conversion feature which qualifies as a derivative instrument. The fair value assumptions consider the nature of the conversion feature and the expected timeline to a qualifying conversion event.
●
The Company’s deferred consideration was recorded in connection with acquisitions during the year ending December 31, 2021 using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transaction. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the deferred consideration approximated fair value.
Marketable Securities
As of December 31, 2021, the Company held investments
consisting of mutual funds, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds. The mutual funds are recorded 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 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 those investments which will mature within the next 12
months including interest receivable on the long-term bonds.
The composition of the Company’s marketable
securities are as follows:

Contingent Consideration
The Company has classified its net liability for
contingent earnout considerations relating to the two acquisitions completed in 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 in Fiscal 2021 is included within Note 13 – Business Combinations
included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The contingent earnout payments for each acquisition
are based on the achievement of certain revenue thresholds. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the fair value of the contingent earnout
consideration increased by $ 1.4 million due to the actual revenue achievement for the period ended December 31, 2021, being greater than
the initially projected revenue achievement incorporated into our initial purchase price allocation. This amount, as required by ASC 805,
was recorded as part of our operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Note 6 — Loan Receivable
A portion of the capital raised from the Company’s
2021 public offering has been allocated to launch Agrify’s total turn-key solution (“TTK Solution”) program, the industry’s
first end-to-end solution for the Company’s customers that provides access to capital for construction costs, equipment lease(s)
to VFUs and other related operating equipment, subscription to the Company’s Agrify Insights software, and business consultation
services, which will enable the Company’s customers to go to market sooner.
The
Company’s initial allowable investment in the Agrify TTK Solution engagements is currently capped at $ 50.0 million, as approved
by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has committed $20.3 million to the Agrify TTK Solution
for five customers under contract and the remainder $ 1.9 million is related to non-TTK Solutions contracts. Of the five customers under
the Agrify TTK Solution, Greenstone Holdings is a related party.
The loan agreements entered into with customers
receiving the Agrify TTK Solution generally provide for loans ranging from approximately $ 200 thousand up to $ 13.5 million 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 annum.
The
breakdown of loans receivable as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

The Company analyzed whether any of the above
customers are a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810 and if so, whether the Company is the primary
beneficiary requiring consolidation. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company has determined that Greenstone Holdings is a VIE.
As of December 31, 2021, two of the Company’s employees own approximately 36.6 % of the equity of Greenstone Holdings, however,
since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Greenstone Holdings, the Company is not required to consolidate Greenstone Holdings.

8 — 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 prepaid inventory is short-term,
non-bearing interest that is applied to the purchase of products once it is delivered. The Company reserves for slow-moving inventory
and inventory that is being evaluated under the Company’s quality control process. The reserves are based upon management’s
expected method of disposition.

Note 11 — Intangible Assets and Goodwill
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 an impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or sooner if indicators of potential impairment
arise. There were no such indicators in the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 13 — Business Combination
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 as of October 1, 2021 (as amended,
the “Purchase Agreement”), with Sinclair Scientific, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sinclair”),
Mass2Media, LLC, d/b/a PX2 Holdings, LLC, d/b/a Precision Extraction Solutions, a Michigan limited liability company (“Precision”);
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 Sciences, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Cascade”), 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, 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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.
Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily
of professional fees, directly related to the acquisition, totaled $ 4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. All transaction
and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in selling, 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). Fair values still under review as of December 31,
2021 include values assigned to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

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.
F- 26
The Company amortizes its intangible assets assuming
no residual value over periods in which the economic benefit of these assets is consumed.
The amount of revenue of Precision and Cascade
included in the consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date of October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 was $ 12.3 million.
The following pro forma financial information
summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company, Precision and Cascade, as though the acquisition of Precision and Cascade
occurred on January 1, 2020.

effects resulting from these acquisitions, including acquisition costs and the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets as
though the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2020. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma
combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination.
The pro forma financial information is for informational
purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on
January 1, 2020.
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) 329,179 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and (c) the Earn-out Consideration
(as defined below), to the extent earned.
F- 27
The Company withheld 88,878 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.
The Holdback Buyer Shares shall be released following the twelve (12) 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 the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Earn-out Consideration”).
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). Fair values still under review as of December 31, 2021 include
values assigned to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

Acquisition of TriGrow
On January 22, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition
of all outstanding shares of TriGrow. TriGrow is an integrator and distributor of the Company’s premium indoor grow solutions for
the indoor controlled agriculture marketplace. As part of the acquisition, the Company received TriGrow’s 75 % interest in Agrify
Brands, LLC (formerly TriGrow Brands, LLC), a licensor and marketing supporter of established portfolio of consumer brands that utilize
the Company’s growing technology. In consideration of TriGrow’s shares, the Company issued to TriGrow’s shareholders
595,552 shares of Agrify common stock. In addition, the closing conditions included the assumption of TriGrow’s outstanding obligation
to invest $ 1.1 million (the “Funding Amount”) in a form of a so called “profit interest” investment in CCI Finance,
LLC (“CCI”). The Company satisfied this obligation and made payment of the Funding Amount on January 24, 2020 pursuant to
a Profits Interest Agreement with CCI. Under the Profits Interest Agreement, in return for the Company’s investment of the Funding
Amount, CCI is obligated to share with the Company 28.5 % of the net revenue generated from its equipment lease agreement with its customer,
payable at least annually by CCI to the Company. The revenue sharing percentage is reduced from 28.5 % to 20 % once the Company has received
payments equaling an 18 % Internal Rate of Return on the Funding Amount (the “Preferred Return”) prior to the fifth anniversary
of the agreement. The revenue sharing terminates upon the later of five years, or the Company’s attainment of the Preferred Return.
To date, no revenue has been generated and shared with the Company under this agreement.
As part of the acquisition of TriGrow, the Company made available 121,539 shares
of its common stock for issuance to certain executives of TriGrow upon TriGrow’s and/or the Company’s receipt of $ 10.0 million
of accumulative purchase orders for TriGrow and/or the Company’s equipment, products, and services, for the period from November
21, 2019 through June 30, 2020 as a result of the efforts of the TriGrow executives. Such common stock of the Company is to be distributed
by the Company to certain executives of the surviving corporation responsible for achievement of such milestone, in the Company’s
sole discretion. The Company concluded the earn-out, if materialized, will be considered as post combination services. Additionally, the
Company concluded that the value associated with the earn-out to be de minimis. No earn-out was ever earned.
The purchase price for this business combination
was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition
date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired
was determined primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and
assumptions determined by the Company.
Transaction and related costs, consisting
primarily of professional fees, directly related to the acquisition, totaled $ 45 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. All
transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Note 14 — Debt
Paycheck Protection Program Loans under the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security Act
In May and July 2020, the Company entered into
two separate PPP Loans with Bank of America pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act administered
by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”).
The Company received total proceeds of approximately $ 779
thousand and $ 44 thousand from the unsecured PPP Loans, which are scheduled to mature on May 7, 2022 and July 27, 2025, respectively.
Subject to certain conditions, the PPP Loan may be forgiven in whole or in part by applying for forgiveness pursuant to the CARES Act
and the PPP. In September 2021, the PPP Loan in the amount of $ 44 thousand was 100 % forgiven by the SBA. As a result, the Company recorded
a gain of $ 45 thousand on the forgiveness on the loan and the associated accrued interest. The Company’s submission to have the
remaining $ 779 thousand PPP Loan forgiven is currently being reviewed by the SBA. If the remaining principal amount from the $ 779 thousand
PPP Loan is not forgiven in full, the Company would be obligated to repay any principal amount not forgiven and interest accrued thereon.
PurePressure SBA Debt
As part of the acquisition of PurePressure, $ 159 thousand
of debt remained outstanding from SBA loan as of December 31, 2021. This debt has subsequently been paid as a part of the PurePressure
acquisition.

Note 15 — 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 “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 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 $ 7.72 .
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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized
an aggregate loss on extinguishment of $ 5.6 million for the difference between the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt of $ 10.0
million (inclusive of $ 11.8 million of principal, $ 4.2 million of debt discount and $ 2.4 million of derivative liabilities) and the reacquisition
price of the debt in the same aggregate principal amount of $ 11.8 million, plus the fair value of the new notes’ conversion features
of an aggregate of $ 3.9 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 $ 19.7
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 $ 17.0 million fair value of the new convertible notes (including the same principal amount of $ 13.1 million plus the
$ 3.9 million fair value of the beneficial conversion feature).
On February 1, 2021, in conjunction with the closing of the
Company’s IPO, the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $ 13.1 million were converted into 1,697,075 shares of common stock
at the election of the Company at a conversion price of $ 7.72 per share.
Note
16 — Derivative Liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
recorded Level 3 derivative liabilities that were measured at fair value at issuance in the aggregate amount of $ 2.8 million related to
the variable-share settlement features of certain convertible notes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company modified
the conversion terms of certain notes which resulted in the recognition of an additional $ 1.4 million of Level 3 derivative liabilities,
with a corresponding debit to loss on extinguishment. See Note 15 — Convertible Promissory Notes included elsewhere in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
On December 31, 2020, the Company recomputed the fair value
of the variable-share settlement features recorded as derivative liabilities to be $ 7.1 million. The Company recorded a loss of $ 2.9 million
on the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2020. The variable-share settlement features
were valued using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a Black-Scholes valuation technique. At issuance, the significant unobservable
inputs used in the discounted cash flow were a discount rate of approximately 20 % and a probability of a Public Transaction occurring
of 56 %. The Black-Scholes assumptions were as follows:
Volatility
40 %
Risk-free interest rate
0.09 % – 0.16 %
Dividend yield
0.00 %
Expected term (years)
0.75 – 1.75
Forfeiture rate

Note 17 — Capital Structure
On January 9, 2020, the Company increased its
authorized number of shares to 53,000,000 , consisting of: 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, and 3,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. At that time, it also designated 100,000 shares of the 3,000,000 authorized shares
of preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, 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 Notes. After the amendment:
1. the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time after 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 $7.72 per share (after the reverse split taking effect); and
2. immediately prior to the consummation of a public transaction, the outstanding principal amount of the 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 Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder immediately prior to such public transaction divided by (ii) a conversion price of $7.72 (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
initial public offering (“IPO”) for the sale of 5,400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $ 10.00 per share. The Company
also granted the underwriters: (a) a 45-day option to purchase up to 810,000 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 162,000 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 $ 12.50 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 810,000 shares of common stock for a price of $ 10.00 per share and granted to the underwriters
warrants to purchase 24,300 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 $ 12.50 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 6,210,000 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 Notes were converted into 1,373,038 shares of common stock and 1,697,075
shares of common stock, respectively, at a conversion price of $ 7.72 per share.
F- 33
Subsequent Public Offering
On February 19, 2021, the Company consummated
a secondary public offering (the “February Offering”) for the sale of 5,555,555 shares of common stock for a price of $ 13.50
per share. The Company also granted the underwriters: (a) a 45-day option to purchase up to 833,333 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 166,667 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 $ 16.875 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 833,333 shares of common stock for
a price of $ 13.50 per share and granted to the underwriters warrants to purchase 25,000 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 $ 16.875 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 6,388,888 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.
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 (i) a cash payment to the representative of $ 2.4 million and (ii) the right to participate as a co-manager with ten
percent ( 10 %) of the economics with respect to the Company’s next public offering of securities, payable in cash upon the closing
of such offering.

of HMH, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,000 shares of common stock to an executive of HMH for achieving certain milestones from the
acquisition date through March 31, 2021. The common shares were valued at $ 176 thousand based on the Company’s closing stock price
on September 20, 2021. The value of the shares is included in research and development in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Refer to Note 13 – Business Combinations included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate

of 240,301 shares of its common stock to the PurePressure shareholders in connection with the Company’s acquisition of PurePressure.
Refer to Note 13 – Business Combinations included elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Stock Option Plan
On September 4, 2019, the Company adopted and approved the
2019 Stock Option Plan (the “2019 Plan”) which provided for the issuance of 1,743,744 shares of its common stock. On August
10, 2020 and October 8, 2020, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders, respectively, approved an increase to the maximum
number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance over the term of the 2019 Plan from 1,743,744 shares to 3,355,083 shares. As
of December 31, 2021, there are no shares available to be granted under the 2019 Plan. Prior to the consummation of the Company’s
IPO, the Company cancelled the 2019 Plan and converted the outstanding stock options to the 2020 Plan, as more fully described below.
Under the 2019 Plan, the standard vesting schedule provided that 25 % of the options vest 12 months following issuance and the balance
vests in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. However, the Company’s board of directors was permitted to provide for alternative
or accelerated vesting schedules in approving each stock option grant. In many cases, the Company’s Board of Directors included
an accelerated vesting schedule under which 50 % of the stock options granted vest immediately prior to a change of control transaction
or the Company’s first underwritten public offering.
2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On December 18, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors,
and on January 11, 2021, the Company’s stockholders, adopted and approved the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020
Plan”), which replaced the 2019 Plan. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, SARs, performance share awards, performance
unit awards, distribution equivalent right awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and unrestricted stock awards
to non-employee directors, officers, employees and non-employee consultants of the Company or its affiliates. The aggregate number of
shares of common stock that may be reserved and available for grant and issuance under the 2020 Plan is 4,533,732 shares. Shares will
be deemed to have been issued under the 2020 Plan solely to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an award. If any award
granted under the 2019 Plan or the 2020 Plan expires, is cancelled, or terminates unexercised or is forfeited, the number of shares subject
thereto is again available for grant under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the
tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors.
F- 34
Stock-based Compensation
The Company’s stock option compensation expense was $ 5.6 million and $ 1.9
million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and there was $ 3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to unvested options granted under the Company’s options plans as of December 31, 2021. 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.
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)
10
Forfeiture rate
0.00 %
The following table summarizes the Company’s
assumptions used in the valuation of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020:
Volatility
40 % – 60 %
Risk-free interest rate
0.37 % – 0.78 %
Dividend yield
0.00 %
0% Expected life (years)
5 – 10
Forfeiture rate
0.00 %
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 turn-over 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.

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 years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not contribute to the 401k Plan.
Note 19 — Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted and signed into law. U.S. GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation
during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business
entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The tax relief measures for businesses include a
five-year net operating loss carryback, suspension of the annual deduction limitation of 80 % of taxable income from net operating losses
generated in a tax year beginning after December 31, 2017, changes to the deductibility of interest, acceleration of alternative minimum
tax credit refunds, payroll tax relief, and a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property.
The CARES Act also provides other non-tax benefits to assist those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated the impact
of the CARES Act and determined that its adoption did not have a material impact to the income tax provision for the years ended December
31, 2021 or December 31, 2020, respectively.
For the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company
recorded a tax provision of approximately $ 25 thousand, comprised of its change in deferred tax liability during the year related to its
indefinite lived intangible asset balance. The indefinite lived intangibles are not all available as a source of income and thus are not
fully available to offset the Company’s deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $ 52.2 million and $ 28.9 million, respectively. The Company has not yet filed its federal and state
tax returns for 2018, 2019, or 2020. The net operating loss carryforwards for United States income taxes may be available to reduce future
years’ taxable income. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears not more than likely due
to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company
has provided a 100 % valuation allowance on its net operating loss carryforward deferred tax assets to reduce the assets to zero. Management
will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as necessary.
The following table summarizes the significant
differences between the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for financial statement purposes for

The Company recognizes federal and state deferred
tax assets or liabilities based on the Company’s estimate of future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryovers.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available
evidence and judgment, are not expected to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
The Company considers projected future taxable income and planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2021, as a
result of a three-year cumulative loss and recent events, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary to offset
its deferred tax assets. The Company also has indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill which generate a deferred tax liability that is
not available to fully offset its deferred tax assets due to uncertainty as to when the deferred tax liability will reverse as a source
of taxable income. As a result, the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position as of December 31, 2021. The Company intends to
maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. The Company will continue to evaluate
its deferred tax balances to determine any assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal
and state income tax net operating loss carryovers $ 52.2 million and $ 28.9 million, respectively. Of the federal balance, approximately
$ 675 thousand will expire if not utilized by 2037 and $ 51.5 million carry forward indefinitely but are only available to offset 80 % of
taxable income per year. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also had federal research credits of approximately $ 571 thousand that will
expire if not utilized by 2041. The utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research tax credit carryovers
could be subject to annual limitations under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state tax provisions
due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes limit
the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and
tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership
of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percent points over a three-year period. The
Company has not conducted an analysis of an ownership change under section 382. To the extent that a study is completed, and an ownership
change is deemed to occur, the Company’s net operating losses and tax credits could be limited.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions
or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2016 through 2021 corporate income tax returns are subject to
Internal Revenue Service examination. In addition, to the extent that tax attributes are utilized in future years to offset taxable income
or income taxes, the IRS and state taxing authorities have the ability to examine the years in which those attributes were generated
and adjust the attributes.
Note 20 — Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share calculations for all periods
have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split effected on January 12, 2021. Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted
average number of common stock then outstanding.
Basic net loss per share is calculated using
the weighted-average number of common shares 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:

Note 21 — Commitments and Contingencies
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 December 31, 2021, the Company’s weighted average discount rate utilized for its leases was
7.16 %.
When a contract contained lease and non-lease
elements, both were accounted as a single lease component.
The Company had several non-cancellable 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-cancellable 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 common area maintenance associated with the property.
Additional information of the Company’s lease
activity, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

Legal Proceedings
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. The demand letter asserts that the former employees 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 Release of Claims Agreement. On March 10, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss all 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 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 Cooper and Weinstein, in which the Company alleges that 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 Cooper and Weinstein during the time they were TriGrow employees. The Company does not believe these claims have any merit and intend
to vigorously defend against them.
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 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 more efficiently meet the potential future demand of its customers. 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 Parties
On September 7, 2019, the Company entered into
a distribution agreement with 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 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.
F- 40
On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into a distribution
agreement with Enozo Technologies Inc. (“Enozo”), for an initial term of five years with auto renewal for successive one-year
periods unless earlier terminated. The agreement contains the following minimum purchases to retain exclusive distributor status for one
of the Company’s products: for the period from the contract date until December 31, 2021 for $ 375 thousand, for the year ended December
31, 2022 for $ 750 thousand, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 for $ 1.1 million, which amount may increase by 3 % for the later years.
The Company had $ 40 thousand in purchases of Enozo product for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $ 38 thousand for the year
ended December 31, 2020. Enozo is a related party to the Company.
Committed Purchase Agreement with Related Parties
4D Bios, Inc.
On September 18, 2021, the Company entered into an amended purchase
agreement with 4D Bios, Inc. (“4D”) to secure purchases of horticultural equipment. The original agreement required minimum
purchases of between $ 577 dollars and $ 607 dollars per unit of 4D products until December 31, 2020. The amended agreement requires minimum
purchases of $ 582 dollars per unit with a final payment of approximately $ 864 thousand paid to 4D. 4D is a related party to the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s purchase
commitment totaled $ 1.9 million. The Company settled all outstanding commitments, leaving no open committed purchases as of December
31, 2021.
Greenstone Holdings
On December 29, 2021, Greenstone
Holdings purchased 239 VFUs from the Company of which 60 VFUs were already in Greenstone Holdings possession under a lease agreement.
Under the lease agreement, Greenstone Holdings owed Agrify 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 was terminated upon signing
the purchase agreement for the 239 VFUs. The remaining 179 VFUs were shipped to Greenstone Holdings storage facility on December 30, 2021
and December 31, 2021.

Note 23 — Subsequent Events
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 (i) 2,450,350 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase
up to an aggregate of 1,570,644 shares of Common Stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,015,745 shares of Common
Stock (the “Common Warrants” and, collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”), in a private
placement offering. The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock (or one Pre-Funded Warrant) and accompanying fraction
of a Common Warrant was $6.80.
Subject to certain ownership limitations, the
Warrants are exercisable six months from issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is 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 $ 7.48 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and will expire on
the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date.
Raymond Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, and Stuart Wilcox, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, participated in the private placement on the same
terms as other investors except for a combined purchase price of $ 6.90 .
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 Warrants.
Acquisition of Lab Society; Purchase Consideration
On February 1, 2022,
the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LS Holdings Corp. (“Lab Society”),
Lab Society NewCo, LLC, 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: (a) $4.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash and
indebtedness of Lab Society at closing; (b) 425,611 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and
(c) the Earn-out Consideration (as defined below), to the extent earned.
The Company withheld
127,682 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. The Holdback Lab Buyer Shares shall be released following the twelve (12) 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 the Company’s common stock.
F- 42
Securities Purchase Agreement
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, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, in a private
placement transaction (the “Private Placement”), in exchange for the payment by the Investor of $ 65 million, less applicable
expenses as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) a senior secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount
of $ 65 million (the “Note”), and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,881,108
shares of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.001 per share (“Common Stock”).
The Note will be a senior
secured obligation of the Company and ranks senior to all indebtedness of the Company. The Company will be required to make amortization
payments equal to 4.0 % of the original principal amount of the Note on the first day of each calendar month starting on February 1, 2023
and extending through the maturity date of March 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all remaining outstanding principal
and accrued but unpaid interest will be due. The Note will have a stated interest rate of 6.75 % per annum, and the Company will be required
to pay interest on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each calendar year through and including the Maturity Date. Following
the one-year anniversary of the Note’s issuance, the Company may, in lieu of paying interest in cash, pay such interest in kind,
in which case interest on the Note will be calculated at the rate of 8.75 % per annum and will be added to the principal amount of the
Note.
At any time following the
one-year anniversary of the Note’s issuance, the Company may prepay all (but not less than all) of the Note by redemption at a price
equal to 106.75 % 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 Note if the Company undergoes a fundamental change at a price equal to 107 % of the then-outstanding
principal amount under the Note plus any accrued interest thereon.
The Securities Purchase
Agreement provides for up to two additional closings subject to certain conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and
on substantially the same terms as the initial closing. Each subsequent closing would result in the issuance of a senior secured note
with an original principal amount of $ 35.0 million and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 65 % of such principal amount
divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to such subsequent closing.
The Note will impose certain
customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that (i) restrict the Company and its subsidiaries
from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, (ii) restrict the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, (iii) restrict the declaration
of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions, (iv) require the Company to maintain specified earnings
and adjusted EBITDA targets, and (v) require the Company to maintain minimum amounts of cash on hand. If an event of default under
the Note occurs, the Investor can elect to redeem the 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 annum equal to 15% from the date of a default or event of default.
Until the date the Note
is fully repaid, the Investor will, subject to certain exceptions, have the right to participate for up to 30 % of any debt, preferred
stock or equity-linked financing of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Each Warrant to be issued
in the initial closing will have an exercise price of $6.75 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock
dividends and similar transactions, will be immediately exercisable, has 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 “Warrant Shares”), in which case the Warrant shall also be exercisable on a cashless exercise
basis at the Investor’s election. The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Company to file resale registration statements
with respect to the Warrant Shares as soon as practicable and in any event within 45 days following the initial closing and any subsequent
closings.
The Warrant will provide
that in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant result in the Investor’s beneficial
