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. 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 five wholly-owned subsidiaries, AGM Service Corp LLC, TriGrow Systems LLC (“TriGrow”, which acted as our exclusive distributor and which was acquired in January 2020 as TriGrow Systems Inc. and converted to TriGrow Systems LLC in May 2020), Harbor Mountain Holdings LLC (“HMH”, which assembled and produced many of our products and which was acquired in July 2020), Ariafy Finance LLC and Agxiom, LLC. The Company also owns 50% of Teejan Podponics International LLC (“TPI”) since December 2018; 60% of Agrify-Valiant, LLC, formed in December 2019; and 75% of Agrify Brands LLC (formerly TriGrow Brands LLC, which was part of the January 2020 acquisition of TriGrow). For further details about the January 2020 and July 2020 acquisitions, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2021.

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.

Public Offerings

On February 1, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5,400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 4, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 810,000 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

On February 19, 2021, the Company 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, the Company 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. See Note 11 — Capital Structure for additional details.

Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”)

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in people in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. It has significantly disrupted supply chains and businesses around the world. The extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact, on the operations and financial position of the Company and on the global economy, is uncertain. Uncertainty remains regarding the length of time it will take for the COVID-19 pandemic to subside, including the time it will take for vaccines to be broadly distributed and accepted in the United States and the rest of the world, and the effectiveness of such vaccines in slowing or stopping the spread of COVID-19 and mitigating the economic effects of the pandemic. The Company continues to service its customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and is actively managing its business to respond to the impact.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC, except for the recently adopted accounting pronouncements described below. The condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Accounting for wholly-owned subsidiaries

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agrify Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AGM Service Corp LLC (formerly AGM Service Corp Inc.), Harbor Mountain Holdings, LLC, TriGrow Systems, Inc., Ariafy Finance LLC, and Agxiom LLC, in accordance with the provisions required by the Consolidation Topic 810 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We include the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Accounting for joint-venture subsidiary

For the Company’s less than wholly owned subsidiaries, Agrify Valiant LLC, Agrify Brands, LLC and TPI, 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. 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.

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^st of each year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash and deposits with maturities of three months or less as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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 per depositor with unlimited insurance for funds in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts through March 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, one customer accounted for 77.9% and another customer accounted for 84.4% of revenue, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, three customers accounted for 87.7% and three different customers accounted for 75.0% of accounts receivable, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company expensed $662 related to development of hardware solution for deployment of rapid grow solution. There were no such costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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.

Note 3 — Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This new standard requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company’s financial instruments within the scope of this guidance primarily includes accounts receivable. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

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 noncancelable period of the hosting arrangement plus any renewal periods reasonably certain to be taken.

Note 4 — Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) services sales and (3) construction contracts.

We sell our 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 (“AVFUs”), 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 fixed-price contracts, under which the Company agrees to do the entire project for a fixed amount. The Company also enters time-and-materials contracts under which the Company is paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and for 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.

Disaggregation of Revenue — The following table provides revenue disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition:

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Transferred at a point in time	$	6,828	$	1,013
Transferred over time		180		—

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. At March 31, 2021, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s de minimis historical financial warranty experience.

Note 8 — Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Acquired 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 three months ended March 31, 2021.

Note 10 — 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. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of $2,685 in connection with the derecognition of the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt of $19,654 (inclusive of $13,100 of principal, $7,141 of derivative liabilities, less $587 of debt discount) and the recognition of the $16,969 fair value of the new convertible notes (including the same principal amount of $13,100 plus the $3,869 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 $13,100 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 11 — 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, we issued an aggregate of 60,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000. In May 2020, we completed our 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 $4,000.

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 brings 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 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

Immediately prior to the closing of our 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.

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 brings 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.

Stock Option Plan

On June 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 our 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 March 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 these 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 nonemployee 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 shall 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.

On January 24, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of options to purchase an aggregate of 144,360 shares of common stock to its directors. The options will expire 10 years from the date of grant and have an exercise price per share of $4.86. 25% of the options vest 12 months following issuance and the balance vests in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.

The Company’s stock option compensation expense was $2,135 and $61 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and there was $12,847 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options granted under the Company’s options plans as of March 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 three months ended March 31, 2021:

Volatility		40%
Risk-free interest rate		1.10% – 1.29%
Dividend yield		0.00%
0% Expected life (years)		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.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 480,448 shares available to be granted under the Company’s 2020 Plan.

The following table presents option activity under the Company’s stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Note 12 — Employee Benefit Plan

The Company maintains an employee’s savings and retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time U.S. employees become eligible to participate in the plan. The Company’s contribution to the plan is discretionary and during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not contribute to the plan.

Note 13 — 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 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Agrify Corporation	$	(3,810	)	$	(3,413	)
Accrued dividend attributable to Preferred A Stockholders		(61	)		(84	)
Net loss available for common shareholders	$	(3,871	)	$	(3,497	)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted		11,568,105			3,760,109
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted	$	(0.33	)	$	(0.93	)

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we excluded the following securities from net loss per share as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. The shares shown represent the number of shares of common stock which would be issued upon conversion in the respective years shown below:

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Options outstanding		3,879,021		493,102
Warrants outstanding		965,907		—
		4,844,928		493,102

Note 14 — 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 our 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 (ROU) assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Current lease liabilities were classified as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

As the implicit interest rate in our leases was generally not known, we used our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present value of our lease liabilities. At March 31, 2021, our weighted average discount rate utilized for our leases was 8.1%.

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into two leases for premises in Georgia. Those leases had terms of more than a year and were accounted as operating leases.

On February 5, 2021, the Company executed a sixty-two-month lease for office spaces in Billerica, MA. The Company will spend $193 on leasehold improvements and plans to occupy the space beginning June 1, 2021, which is when the lease will commence. The minimum lease liability for the initial lease term amounts to $530 (base lease and other operating fees). The Company has an option to extend the initial lease term by an additional five-year term.

Additional information of our lease activity, for the three months ended March 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 its former employees (and one of Mr. Cooper’s affiliated entities), asserting that such individuals were entitled to compensation arising out of their employment by the Company, as well as their partial ownership of TriGrow. 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, the two former employees 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 same 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 Mr. Weinstein’s Release of Claims Agreement. On March 10, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss all of 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. The Company does not believe these claims have any merit and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

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 our AVFUs. In February 2021, the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $5,200 towards initial production of AVFUs during 2021. We believe the supply agreement with Mack will provide us with increased scaling capabilities and the ability to more efficiently meet the potential future demand of our customers. The supply agreement contemplates that, following an introductory period, we will negotiate a minimum percentage of our AVFU requirements that we 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. We believe 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 June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Bluezone Products, Inc. (“Bluezone”) for distribution rights to the Bluezone products with certain exclusivity rights. The agreement requires minimum purchases amounting to $480 and $600 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 will end on May 31, 2021. The Company exceeded the minimum purchase amount for the first year and purchased approximately $514 of the committed $660 second year purchases thru March 31, 2021. Bluezone is a related party to the Company.

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 our products: for the period from the contract date until December 31, 2021 for $375, for the year ended December 31, 2022 for $750, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 for $1,125, which amount may increase by 3% for the later years.

Overview

We are a developer of highly advanced and proprietary precision hardware and software grow solutions for the indoor agriculture marketplace. We believe we are the only company with an automated and fully integrated grow solution in the industry. We believe our Agrify “Precision Elevated™” cultivation solution is vastly differentiated from anything else on the market in that it combines our seamlessly integrated hardware and software offerings with a wide range of associated services such as consulting, engineering, and construction to form what we believe is the most complete solution available from a single provider. The totality of our product mix and service capabilities form an unrivaled ecosystem in what has historically been an extremely fragmented market. As a result, we believe we are well situated to create a dominant market position in the indoor agriculture sector.

We have five wholly-owned subsidiaries, AGM Service Corp LLC, TriGrow Systems LLC (“TriGrow”, which acted as our exclusive distributor and which was acquired in January 2020 as TriGrow Systems Inc and converted to TriGrow Systems LLC in May 2020), Harbor Mountain Holdings LLC (“HMH”, which assembled and produced many of our products and which was acquired in July 2020), Ariafy Finance LLC and Agxiom, LLC. We also own 50% of Teejan Podponics International LLC (“TPI”) since December 2018; 60% of Agrify-Valiant,LLC, formed in December 2019 and 75% of Agrify Brands LLC (formerly TriGrow Brands LLC, which was acquired as part of the January 2020 acquisition of TriGrow). For further details about the January 2020 and July 2020 acquisitions please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2021.

Public Offerings

Initial Public Offering

On February 1, 2021, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) for the sale of 5,400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. We 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, we 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 exercise 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 us in connection with the IPO to 6,210,000 shares and the total net proceeds received in connection with the IPO to approximately $57 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

Subsequent Public Offering

On February 19, 2021, we consummated a secondary public offering (the “February Offering”) for the sale of 5,555,555 shares of our common stock for a price of $13.50 per share. We 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, we 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 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.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we issued an aggregate of 60,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. In May 2020, we completed our offering of Series A Preferred with the issuance of an additional 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted immediately prior to the closing of our IPO into 1,373,038 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $7.72 per share.

Impact of coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”)

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in people in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. It has significantly disrupted supply chains and businesses around the world. The extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact, on our operations and financial position and on the global economy, is uncertain. Uncertainty remains regarding the length of time it will take for the COVID-19 pandemic to subside, including the time it will take for vaccines to be broadly distributed and accepted in the United States and the rest of the world, and the effectiveness of such vaccines in slowing or stopping the spread of COVID-19 and mitigating the economic effects of the pandemic. We continue to service our customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and are actively managing our business to respond to the impact.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions about collection of accounts and notes receivable, the valuation and recognition of stock- based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets.

Financial Overview

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimate, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Topic 606, we account for a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we are entitled. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.

We generate revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) services sales and (3) construction contracts.

We sell our 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 us such as vertical farming units, 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.

We generally provide 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, we accrue for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2021, we had no product warranty accrual our de minimis historical financial warranty experience.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We follow the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation.” ASC Topic 718 establishes standards surrounding the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, such as options issued under our Stock Option Plans.

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 our 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 our history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. We calculate the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of our 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, we estimate the number of stock-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Our 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 our 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 our financial statements. The expense we recognize in future periods will be affected by changes in the estimated forfeiture rate and may differ significantly from amounts recognized in the current period.

It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies disclosed above.

Fair value of common stock

Historically, for all periods prior to our IPO, the fair values of the shares of common stock underlying our share-based awards were determined on each grant date by our board of directors. Given the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock, including our stage of development; the rights, preferences and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock; our financial condition and operating results, including our levels of available capital resources; equity market conditions affecting comparable public companies; general U.S. market conditions; and the lack of marketability of our common stock. Valuations of our common stock were prepared by an unrelated third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

For our valuation performed on March 20, 2020 and September 14, 2020, we used the income and market methods to estimate our enterprise value under various financing scenarios based on the discounted cash flow approach and a market approach of comparable peer public companies. The estimated enterprise value under each method was then allocated to the common stock, discount for lack of marketability was applied, and the resulting value of common stock was probability-weighted across the various financing scenarios to determine the fair value of common stock.

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if we had used different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.

Revenues

Our goal is to provide our customers with a variety of products to address their entire needs. Our core product offering includes our Agrify Vertical Farming Units and Agrify Integrated Grow Racks with our Agrify Insights™ software, which in 2020 and 2021 are supplemented with environmental control products, grow lights, and facility build-out services.

During the first quarter of 2020 and in parallel with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, we experienced a disruption in the supply chain that delay the delivery of several components necessary to the manufacturing of our Agrify Vertical Farming Units (or AVFUs) and as a result, delivery of several AVFUs was delayed to April 2020.

We generate revenue from sales of cultivation solutions, including ancillary products and services, Agrify Insights™ software and facility build-outs. We believe that our product mix form an integrated ecosystem which allows us to be engaged with our potential customers from early stages of the grow cycle — first during the facility build-out, to the choice of cultivation solutions and then running the grow business with our Agrify Insight software. We believe that delivery of each solution in the grow cycle will generate sales of additional solutions and services.

The following table provides a breakdown of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Cultivation solutions, including ancillary products and services	$	230,000	$	1,009,000
Agrify Insights software		8,000		—
Facility build-outs		6,770,000		—
Services		—		4,000
	$	7,008,000	$	1,013,000

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was generated mainly from facility build outs and cultivation solutions, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we sold 4 and 179 AVFUs, respectively.

With the formation of our joint venture with Valiant-America in December 2019 through Agrify-Valiant, we added the facility build-outs to our products and services offering. We generated revenue from facility build-out services starting in the second quarter of 2020. We believe that combining facility build-out services with our other products will enhance the productivity of our AVFUs and benefit our customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of goods sold include direct cost of parts and outsourced assembly and installation services that are necessary for delivery of our products.

The following table provides a breakdown of our cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Cultivation solutions, including ancillary products and services	$	769,000	$	972,000
Facility build-outs		6,779,000		—
	$	7,548,000	$	972,000

During the first six months of 2020, we outsourced the manufacturing of our AVFUs to HMH, which we acquired in July 2020. Although the primary reason we acquired HMH was to expand our research, development and testing capabilities, the acquisition will also provide us with internal capabilities to manufacture small quantities of AVFUs and to reduce our cost of manufacturing. In addition, in December 2020, we entered into a five year supply agreement with Mack Molding Co. (“Mack”) pursuant to which Mack will become a key supplier of our AVFUs. In February 2021, the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $5,200,000 towards initial production of AVFUs during 2021. We believe the supply agreement with Mack will provide us with increased scaling capabilities and the ability to more efficiently meet the potential future demand of our customers. The supply agreement contemplates that, following an introductory period, we will negotiate a minimum percentage of our AVFU requirements that we 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. We believe 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.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit (loss) represents total revenue less the cost of goods sold, and gross margin percentage is gross profit (loss) expressed as a percentage of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our gross loss was $540,000 compared to a gross profit of $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our gross profit (loss) margin percentage decreased to (7.7)% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 4.0% in the same period in 2020. The decrease (increase) in gross profit (loss) was primarily related to (i) inventory obsolescence reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the amount of $113,000 due to change in design as we transition to our more advanced AVFUs model, (ii) employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation of $345,000 related to production and assembling operation in HMH which was acquired in the third quarter of 2020, and (ii) a lower gross profit margin from construction revenue compared to sale of our AVFU.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of costs incurred for the development of Agrify Insight and next generation VFUs, which includes:

●

employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and travel;

●

expenses incurred by subcontractor under agreements to provide engineering work related to the development of our next generation VFUs;

●

expenses related to our facilities, depreciation, and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance and other supplies.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, research and development expenses were $882,000 and $1,200,000, respectively. The decrease of $318,000 is primarily attributable to halted development of hardware solution for deployment of rapid grow solution of $662,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and decrease in consulting fees of $134,000. The decrease in expenses was offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses in the amount of approximately $180,000, increase in other costs amounting to $54,000 and an increase in stock-based compensation in the amount of $244,000, including a non-recurring expense of $176,000 related to vesting acceleration of options upon the consummation of our IPO.

As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 12.6% from total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 118.5% (or 53.1% when excluding the one-time halted cost) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We expect to continue to invest in future developments of our AVFUs and Agrify Insights™. In the coming years, we believe that research and development expenses measured as percentage of revenue will decrease due to an increase in our total revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation and travel expenses, in selling, executive and other administrative functions. Other general and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, consulting and accounting services as well as facility related costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $5,074,000 and $2,290,000, respectively. The increase is attributable mainly to payroll and related expenses of approximately $330,000, stock-based compensation in the amount of $1,732,000, insurance expenses of approximately $445,000, legal expenses of approximately $208,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $81,000. To support our long-term growth plan and our initial public offering, we have granted stock options to officers, directors and employees with several vesting conditions, including an event-based vesting acceleration (defined as a change in control, including an initial public offering). As a result of the consummation of our IPO during the three months ended March 31, 2021, our Selling, General and Administrative Expenses included a non-recurring expense of $1,248,000.

Other (income) expense, net

Interest expense was $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to interest income of $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, reflecting a change of $37,000. The increase in interest expense is attributable mainly to the amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes in the amount of $20,000 and interest on operating and capital leases amounting to $13,000.

Gain on extinguishment of notes payable was $2,685,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to null for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Loss attributable to non-controlling interest

We consolidate the results of operations of two less than wholly-owned entities into our consolidated results of operations. On December 8, 2019, we formed Agrify Valiant LLC, a joint-venture limited liability company in which we are 60% majority owner and Valiant-America, LLC owns 40%. Agrify Valiant LLC started its operations during the second quarter of 2020. On January 22, 2020, as part of the acquisition of TriGrow, we received TriGrow’s 75% interest in Agrify Brands, LLC (formerly TriGrow Brands, LLC), a licensor of an established portfolio of consumer brands that utilize our grow technology. The license of these brands is ancillary to the sale of our AVFUs and provides a means to differentiate customers’ products in the marketplace. It is not a material aspect of our business and we have not realized any royalty income. Accordingly, we are currently evaluating whether to continue this legacy business from an operational standpoint, as well as from a legal and regulatory perspective.

Loss attributable to non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit (or loss) that are attributable to non-controlling interest calculated as a product of the net income of the entity multiplied by the percentage of ownership held by the non-controlling interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Upon the closing of the February Offering, we had approximately $139 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe such amount, together with cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to support our planned operations for at least the next 12 months. Our current working capital needs are to support accounts receivable growth, manage inventory to meet demand forecasts and support operational growth. Our long-term financial needs primarily include working capital requirements and capital expenditures. There are many factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds in the future, including the ability to generate cash from operations, raise debt capital and raise cash from the issuance of our securities. The amount of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business strategy and general economic conditions.

We may opportunistically raise debt capital, subject to market and other conditions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategies, we may also raise debt capital for strategic alternatives and general corporate purposes. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Indebtedness

We entered into two Loan Agreements and Promissory Notes (collectively the “PPP Loan”) with Bank of America pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. We received total proceeds of $823,410 from the unsecured PPP Loans which are scheduled to mature during 2022 and 2025. 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. We have not yet applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and although we believe that we will be eligible for full forgiveness under the PPP, there is no assurance that the full PPP Loan amount will be forgiven and we cannot anticipate the timing of any such forgiveness. If the principal amount is not forgiven in full, we would be obligated to repay any principal amount not forgiven and interest accrued thereon.

Cash flows

The following table presents the major components of net cash flows (used in) and provided by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020:

Financing Activities	$	137,197		$	6,080

Cash flow from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $3,810,000, which includes non-cash expenses of $147,000 related to depreciation and amortization, $2,135,000 in connection with the issuance and acceleration of stock options, non-cash interest expenses of $33,000 related to leases and the issuance of notes payable, partially offset by gain of $2,685,000 related to extinguishment of notes payable, loss attributed to non-controlling interest in the amount of $33,000. Net cash was reduced by a $5,218,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $3,330,000 increase in prepaid inventory due to demand forecast, a $2,155,000 increase in prepaid expenses, a $96,000 decrease in deferred revenue, partially offset by $7,360,000 increase in accrued expenses ($6,000,000 related to construction cots), and a $181,000 decrease in accounts payable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported a net loss of $3,413,000, which includes non-cash expenses of $66,000 related to depreciation and amortization, and $61,000 in connection with issuance of stock options. Net cash was reduced by a $1,250,000 increase in inventory due to demand forecast, a $80,000 increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables, and a $193,000 decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by a $92,000 increase in accrued expenses, and an $891,000 increase in deferred revenue.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, depreciation and amortization expense was $147,000, and $66,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses is related to assets acquired from HMH. We anticipate that our depreciation and amortization expense will increase in fiscal 2021 due to investment in capital expenditures in fiscal 2021 on property and equipment to expand research, development and testing capabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, compensation in connection with issuance of stock options was $2,135,000 (of which $1,502,000 related to the acceleration of stock option vesting due to our IPO) and $61,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there was $12,847,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options granted under our options plans, which will be recognized periodically through fiscal 2025.

Cash flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities relates to capital expenditures to support growth and investment in property and equipment, to expand research, development and testing capabilities, and to a lesser extent, the replacement of existing equipment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $142,000 for leasehold improvements, purchasing computer equipment and small machinery.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $1,155,000 which includes $1,096,000 paid in connection with the acquisition of TriGrow and a $59,000 cash outflow for purchasing computer equipment and small machinery.

Cash flow from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $137,000,000, attributable to $57,000,000 proceeds from our initial IPO, $80,000,000 from our secondary public offering, both net of fees, and proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $444,000, slightly off set by $47,000 payments of financing leases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $6,080,000, consisting of $6,000,000 proceeds from the issuance of our series A Preferred Stock, $40,000 in capital contributions from the issuance of our common stock to an investor and a $40,000 minority interest investment in Agrify Valiant.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As discussed above, we are implementing certain measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. Other than those measures, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be subject to various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. On January 5, 2021, we received a demand letter from Nicholas Cooper and Richard Weinstein, two of our former employees (and one of Mr. Cooper’s affiliated entities), asserting that such individuals were entitled to compensation arising out of their employment by us, as well as their partial ownership of TriGrow Systems, Inc. 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 our 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 us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging the same claims made in their demand letter based on the same 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 Mr. Weinstein’s Release of Claims Agreement. On March 10, 2021, we moved to dismiss all of 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. We do not believe these claims have any merit and intend to vigorously defend against these claims (see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies).

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

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 $62,100,000.

After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4,000,000 and offering expenses paid or payable by us of approximately $1,000,000, the net proceeds from the offering were approximately $57,000,000.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final IPO prospectus filed with the SEC on January 29, 2021 pursuant to rule 424(b) of the Securities Act. We invested the funds received in short-term and long-term, interest-bearing securities and government securities.
