FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our common stock.

 

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company” mean Grove, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. As a result, it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, such as the COVID-19 outbreak and associated business disruptions including delayed clinical trials and laboratory resources, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report speak only as of the date hereof, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

GROVE, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Background Information

 

We are in the business of developing, producing, marketing, and selling raw materials, white label products and end consumer products containing the hemp plant extract, Cannabidiol (“CBD”). We sell to numerous consumer markets including the nutraceutical, beauty care, pet care and functional food sectors. We seek to take advantage of an emerging worldwide trend to re-energize the production of industrial hemp and to foster its many uses for consumers.

 

In addition, we are an operator of an annual tradeshow in the United States related to the CBD industry. The Company only has one trade show, CBD.IO, which is held in November each year. Because event revenue is recognized when a particular event is held, the Company experiences fluctuations in quarterly revenue based on the completion of the trade show event.

 

Grove, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation and has nine wholly owned subsidiaries, Trunano Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Cresco Management, a California corporation, Steam Distribution, LLC, a California limited liability company; One Hit Wonder, Inc., a California corporation; Havz, LLC, d/b/a Steam Wholesale, a California limited liability company, Grove Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc, d/b/a VitaMedica a Nevada corporation, One Hit Wonder Holdings, LLC a California corporation, Infusionz LLC, a Colorado corporation and SWCH, a Delaware corporation.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessary be indicative of annual results.

 

The significant accounting policies adopted during the 2022 fiscal year are as follows:

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the guidance for certain convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company expects the primary impacts of this new standard will be to increase the carrying value of its Convertible Debt and reduce its reported interest expense. In addition, the Company will be required to use the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. We adopted ASU 2020-06 as of the beginning of our 2022 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as there were no unamortized beneficial conversion features as of June 30, 2021.

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removed certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the recognition of deferred taxes for investments. This guidance also simplified aspects of accounting for recognizing deferred taxes for taxable goodwill. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of the beginning of our 2022 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements, except for the adoption of ASU 2020-06 and ASU 2019-12 for the current fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2021.

Stock-based compensation expense attributable to stock options was $593,098 and $93,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, there was $4,626,081 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options outstanding, and the weighted average vesting period for those options was approximately 1 year.

 

The value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2021:

The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated based upon historical trends in Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (CWBHF) stock prices for periods prior to the date the Company’s trading information was available. Management selected Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. for it length of time as a publicly trading company and the similarities of the business and industry.

 

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Note 13. Income Taxes

 

The Company computed the year-to-date income tax provision by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusted for discrete tax items in the period. The Company’s income tax expense was $208,871 for the three ended September 30, 2021and no expense or benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily attributable to federal and, state income taxes and nondeductible expenses for an effective tax rate of approximately 29%. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is due to the full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

 

Future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. The Company also considered whether there was any currently available information about future years. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will have future taxable income to fully realize the Company’s deferred tax asset.

As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $2,010,197 of losses available to reduce federal taxable income in future years and can be carried forward indefinitely.

 

Note 14. Risks and Uncertainties

 

There is substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as to the scope of operation of Farm Bill-compliant hemp programs relative to the emerging regulation of cannabinoids. These different opinions include, but are not limited to, the regulation of cannabinoids by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, and/or the FDA and the extent to which manufacturers of products containing Farm Bill-compliant cultivators and processors may engage in interstate commerce. The uncertainties cannot be resolved without further federal, and perhaps even state-level, legislation, regulation or a definitive judicial interpretation of existing legislation and rules. If these uncertainties continue, they may have an adverse effect upon the introduction of our products in different markets.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international 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. and international economies and, as such, the Company has transition to a combination of work from home and social distancing operations and there has been minimal impact to our internal operations from the transition. The Company is unable to determine if there will be a material future impact to its customers’ operations and ultimately an impact to the Company’s overall revenues.

 

Note 15. Subsequent Events

 

On October 19, 2021 (Closing Date), the Company entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “I/O Agreement”) with Gyprock Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, MFA Holdings Corp., a Florida corporation and Sherwood Ventures, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (each a “I/O Seller” and collectively called “I/O Sellers”). The I/O Sellers own all the membership interests in Interactive Offers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Interactive”). The Company’s CEO and Chairman, Allan Marshall, is the controlling stockholder and the president of MFA Holdings Corp. MFA Holdings Corp. owns twenty percent of the outstanding membership interests in Interactive. Interactive provides programmatic advertising with its SAAS platform which allows for programmatic advertisement placement automatically on any partners’ sites from a simple dashboard.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the I/O Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase all the outstanding membership interests of Interactive. as of October 1, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

 

(i)

inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

lack of multiple levels of supervision and review.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 12a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

 

 

(i)

inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

lack of multiple levels of supervision and review.

  

 
21

Table of Contents

  

Remediation Plan

 

We believe the weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible.

 

However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes by the end of the 2021 fiscal year as resources allow:

 

(i)

Appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies; and

 

(ii)

We will attempt to implement the remediation efforts set out herein by the end of the 2021 fiscal year.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 12a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
