Nasdaq Deficiency Notice

The Nasdaq Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

On October 17, 2023, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under the Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the Second Quarter Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K (collectively, the “Delinquent Reports”) in a timely manner.

On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 with the SEC by the required filing date.

On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company reported stockholders’ deficit of $(17.17) million in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Primary Equity Listing Rule”), which requires that listed companies maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity. In response, the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which stayed any further action by the Listing Qualifications Staff. The hearing was held on January 11, 2024. The Company arrived at the hearing having previously cured any additional grounds for delisting as a result of delinquent periodic filings during 2023 that were filed prior to the hearing.

On January 30, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for an exception through April 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule, which was subsequently extended to May 15, 2024. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules or maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company’s common stock is delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s common stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital.

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The compliance period for the Company will expire on September 3, 2024.

As a result of the conversion of the Convertible Note and the Restated Junior Note as set forth below in Note 7, the Company believes it has stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of this filing, as required by the Listing Rule

On May 28, 2024, the Company had received formal written notice from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

Restatement Background

Restatement Background

The need for the restatement arose out of the results of certain reassessment by the Company of the accounting for the settlement agreement entered into by the Company with Mack Molding Co which became effective in the first quarter of 2024 (See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies). Management determined that the gain from the derecognized contingent liability should be recognized fully in Q1, rather than over time as previously reported. Consequently, the Company concluded that the accounting treatment applied in the first quarter of 2024 was not appropriate. Therefore, the Company misstated inventory, accounts payable, notes payable, accumulated deficit and total stockholders' equity (deficit), on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, and cost of goods sold, general and administrative expenses, gain on settlement of contingent liabilities, and interest income (expense), net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company principally attributes the errors to a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, as disclosed in Item II, Part 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has commenced procedures to remediate the material weaknesses. However, these material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial actions have been fully implemented and the Company has concluded that these controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 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 Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2024.

Accounting for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described above, in accordance with the provisions required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). 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 Agrify Brands, LLC (“Agrify Brands”), the Company first analyzes whether these entities are a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. The Company continuously re-assesses (i) whether the joint-venture is a VIE, and (ii) if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it is determined that the joint-venture qualifies as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company’s financial interest in the VIE is consolidated.

Based on the Company’s analysis of these entities, the Company has determined that Agrify Brands is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. While the Company owns 75% of Agrify Brand’s equity interests, the remaining equity interests in Agrify Brands are owned by unrelated third parties, and the agreement with these third parties provides the Company with greater voting rights. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interest in the financial statements of Agrify Brands under the VIE rules and reflects the third parties’ interests in the unaudited condensed 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.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 include assumptions about collection of accounts and loans receivable, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventory, and useful life of property and equipment. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific information, other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, and management’s judgement. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual financial results could differ from those estimates.

The Company regularly evaluates its assets, including asset groups or reporting units, for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company is aware of the impact that prolonged net losses can have on the fair value of underlying assets and the overall company. The Company is committed to ensuring that the carrying amounts of its assets are appropriately assessed and adjusted for any impairment, reflecting a true and fair view of its financial position.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and loans receivable. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions generally exceed federally insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.

The tables below show customers who account for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues and 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable for the periods presented:

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life (Years)
Computer and office equipment		2 to 3
Furniture and fixtures		2
Software		3
Vehicles		5
Research and development of laboratory equipment		5
Machinery and equipment		3 to 5
Leased equipment		5 to 13
Trade show assets		3 to 5
Leasehold improvements		Lower of estimated useful life or remaining lease term

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. The Company charges maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred. When the Company retires or disposes of assets, the carrying cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of retirement or disposal.

Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service. During construction, costs are accumulated in a construction-in-progress account, with no depreciation. Upon completion, costs are transferred to the appropriate asset account, and depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, contingent consideration, operating lease liabilities, long-term debt, related party debt, and warrant liabilities. Refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s financial instruments.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other expenses associated with product development. The Company incurs research and development costs associated with the development and enhancement of both hardware and software products associated with its cultivation and extraction equipment, as well as its SaaS-based software offering, Agrify Insights™ cultivation software (“Agrify Insights™”).

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes and is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on its financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.
