Going Concern

We have incurred significant losses in prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $30.12 million and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $219.80 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $46.93 million and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $189.69 million. We expect to experience further significant net losses in 2021 and the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2020, we had a cash balance of approximately $0.89 million, compared to a cash balance of approximately $1.23 million at December 31, 2019. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of common stock, and debt securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. Management feels that our past and current efforts to trim cost and our recent marketing and promotional efforts to boost sales will lead to cash sustainability. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

We anticipate receiving approximately $18 million over the next fifteen months as compensation for asset sales. In addition, we own shares of Hydrofarm stock that come off lock-up on June 9, 2021, the current value of which is $60.75 million. We anticipate these cash in-flows and acquisitions of complementary businesses to allow for our operations to grow to cash sustainability.
