I'm CEO of Indoor Harvest.

Thayer O'Neal is a spin-off of LL Bradford & Company who was shut down by the PCAOB in April for numerous violations where THayer was a Partner.



Coincidentally they all had something in common. They were pinkies that have never made a dime in their lives.



We're not a pinky, we conducted an actual SPO and we were using Mickey Oneal as our auditor. Indoor Harvest was the first issuer to clear the SEC with cannabis risk disclosures on a selling shareholder S-1. We were put through a 10 month, almost borderline hostile review. We actually had to raise additional capital mid-review because the SEC was dragging things out.

We were the first Company in decades to be allowed to go effect by operation of law rather than a notice of effectiveness. We made the effort to do things right despite the SEC's efforts to make it difficult. So being lumped in with a "pinky" does stick in my craw some.

I simply wanted an auditor that was fair in price and Mickey offered that when I originally went shopping for an auditor. I had no relationship prior.

A principal at LL Bradford screwed up, no doubt there. Mickey wasn't a partner or involved in any of the wrong doing. He was simply one of the audit managers. LL Bradford was then acquired by RBSM after the SEC shut them down. Shortly after, Mickey and Thayer left RBSM and started their own firm.

I can't speak for the other Companies, but I simply enjoy working with Mickey. Anyone experienced working with an auditor understands that it takes a few years to get a smooth system down. Changing auditors can be a real headache for a small company. Mickey asked if I wanted to follow him over to his new firm and I said yes. He's a fair, affordable auditor.

So no, Thayer & Oneal are NOT a spin off of LL Bradford. They were not associated with the misdeeds of the sanctioned principal, if they were, they wouldn't still be auditors.

I've used Ihub for a long time. It's been a great research tool. However, for every scam that has been uncovered by Ihub sleuths, there are those who defame people simply for innocent association. I know, I've been lumped into that category more than once despite having been a force for change.

So yeah, I came across this post because about once a week, I'll do an Ihub search to see if anyone is talking about our Company. I rarely ever post, but I felt this needed a response.

You can judge each of the companies on their merits, that's completely fair. I've obviously opened myself up to such scrutiny simply posting in this forum. I'm confident I can stand up to such scrutiny. However, defaming people is uncool. Especially when you don't appear to have all the facts.

If there is anything I have learned working in and around the OTC, the truth is not always as it seems. Naive CEO's get suckered into bad deals, take all the blame when it falls apart, while the sharks continue to swim and make more victims. Yes, it's still the fault of the CEO, but rarely do they always deserve the defamation.

CEN Biotech, lol.. well that one is pretty obvious what it is. So no arguments there.

At the end of the Day, did Thayer get sanctioned? No. The guilty were sanctioned.

We just announced that the largest cannabis producer in Canada is going to use our technology. We've developed a very disruptive technology with proven data. There's value in that.


Warm Regards,
