On October 17, 2023, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)”) as a result of its failure to file the Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 in a timely manner.

 

On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Staff that the Company remained noncompliant with the Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) 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 Securities And Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the required filing date. The Company subsequently filed each of the delinquent reports and regained compliance with the Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

 

On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notice from 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 “Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)”), 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 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 by making all filings 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 5550(b)(1), which was subsequently extended to May 15, 2024. As a result of the conversion of the Convertible Note (as defined below) and the Restated Junior Note (as defined below) as set forth below in Note 7, the Company regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement, On May 28, 2024, the Company received formal written notice from Nasdaq confirming that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff 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 had 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 expired on September 3, 2024. On September 4, 2024, the Staff notified the company in writing that it was eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, or until March 3, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On October 8, 2024, the Company completed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our Common Stock, in which each fifteen shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was combined and converted into one share of Common Stock to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On October 22, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

These interim 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 SEC 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 interim 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 SEC on April 15, 2024. The December 31, 2023 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

Accounting for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 subsidiary, Agrify Brands, LLC (“Agrify Brands”), the Company first analyzes whether this entity is 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 Agrify Brands 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 this entity, 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 power as the majority owner. 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.

 

Going Concern

 

In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company’s management evaluated whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements’ issuance date. The following matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

 

7

 

 

The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and has negative cash flows from operations and a working capital deficit of $7.0 million. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $283.2 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, with additional liquidity accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable SEC regulations, from the capital market. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $0.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company had no restricted cash as of September 30, 2024. Current liabilities were $27.8 million as of September 30, 2024.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company believes these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve-months from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until the Company begins generating sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations. If the Company is unable raise additional funds, it may be forced to cease operations.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company raised net proceeds of $2.1 million via the issuance of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants in a public offering through Alexander Capital, LP (“Alexander Capital”) that is recorded within Common Stock and additional paid-in capital on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. During this period, the Company also raised an additional $4.0 million in proceeds through the issuance of notes to related parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital later this year to support its 2024 and 2025 funding needs. The Company also continues to make additional adjustments in headcount, salary, travel, sales and marketing spending, but there is no guarantee that these ongoing cost-cutting efforts or capital raises will be sufficient to maintain operations.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or that future capital raising efforts will be successful. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the potential future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period, fair value of warrant liabilities, sales tax liabilities, and net realizable value of inventory and collectability of trade accounts and loans receivable. 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.

 

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.

 

Accounts Receivable, Net and Loans Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of amounts for goods and services that are billed and currently due from customers. The composition of loan receivable, net is detailed in Note 5 - Loans Receivable. In accordance with ASC Topic 310-10, Receivables (“ASC 310-10”), accounts receivable and loan receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which are an estimate of billed or borrowed amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific risks identified in customer or borrower collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer or borrower financial conditions. Accounts and loans receivable balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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.

Inventories

 

The Company values all its inventories, which consist primarily of significant raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Write-offs of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material. The Company takes a physical inventory count at least once annually at all inventory locations.

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.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock among other conditions for equity classification.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification, they are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

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.

Revenue Recognition

 

Overview

 

The Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) equipment sales, (2) providing services and (3) construction contracts.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:

 

identify the customer contract;

 

identify performance obligations that are distinct;

 

determine the transaction price;

 

allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and

 

recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Identify the customer contract

 

A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both the Company and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable. Specifically, the Company obtains written/electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.

 

Identify performance obligations that are distinct

 

A performance obligation is a promise by the Company to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

 

Determine the transaction price

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies and net of sales discounts.

 

Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. The Company’s contracts typically contain multiple performance obligations, for which the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

 

Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.

 

11

 

 

Significant Judgments

 

The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of equipment, services and construction, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once the Company determines the performance obligations, it determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on the SSP. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and the methods of estimating SSP under the guidance of ASC 606-10-32-33. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions, expected margins, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. The Company licenses its software as a service (“SaaS”) type subscription license, whereby the customer only has a right to access the software over a specified time period. The full value of the contract is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the SaaS subscription, adjusted monthly if tiered pricing is relevant. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for equipment sales when equipment is made available for shipment to the customer; for services sales as services are rendered to the customer and for construction contracts both as services are rendered and when the contract is completed.

 

The Company utilizes the cost-plus margin method to determine the SSP for equipment and build-out services. This method is based on the cost of the services from third parties, plus a reasonable markup that the Company believes is reflective of a market-based reseller margin.

 

The Company determines the SSP for services in time and materials contracts by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.

 

The Company estimates variable consideration in the form of royalties, revenue share, monthly fees, and service credits at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration is typically not subject to constraint. Changes to variable consideration were not material for the periods presented.

 

If a contract has payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, the Company will assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. For those contracts in which the period exceeds the one-year threshold, this assessment, as well as the quantitative estimate of the financing component and its relative significance, requires judgment. Accordingly, the Company imputes interest on such contracts at an agreed-upon interest rate and will present the financing components separately as financial income. As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any such financial income.

 

Payment terms with customers typically require payment 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s agreements with its customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained. In the infrequent instances where customers raise concern over delivered products or services, the Company has endeavored to remedy the concern and all costs related to such matters have been insignificant in all periods presented.

 

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company will accrue all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of consumer goods at the time of shipment. The Company has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

The Company receives payment from customers based on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from the satisfaction of performance obligations. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Company fulfills obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company recognizes a contract liability when consideration has been received or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, and the Company has a future obligation to transfer certain proprietary products.

 

12

 

 

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of the Company’s remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.

 

The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and generally transfers to its customers the warranties it receives from its vendors, if any, which generally cover this one-year period. In accordance with ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, (“ASC 450”) under ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company maintained a reserve for warranty returns of $0.2 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s reserve for warranty returns is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additional information regarding the Company’s warranty reserve may be found in Note 3 – Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Information, included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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™”).

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Common Stockholders in conformity with the one-class method. The Company computes basic (loss) income per share by dividing net (loss) income available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted (loss) income per share adjusts basic (loss) income per share for the potentially dilutive impact of convertible notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, all potentially dilutive securities including convertible notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share for those periods.

 

Net (loss) income per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits effected on July 5, 2023 and October 8, 2024.

 

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.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to provide enhanced segment disclosures. The standard will require disclosures about significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment, for all periods presented. Additionally, the standard requires public entities to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in the consolidated financial statements. These enhanced disclosures are required for all entities on an interim and annual basis, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 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.

Note 2 — Revenue and Contract Liabilities

 

Revenue

 

The Company sells its 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 (“VFUs”), 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 time-and-materials contracts. The Company enters into time-and-materials contracts under which the Company is paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and other expenses, including materials, as incurred at rates agreed to in the contract. The Company uses three main sub-contractors to execute the construction contracts.

 

The following table provides the Company’s revenue disaggregated by the timing of revenue recognition:

 

   Three months ended
September 30,
   Nine months ended
September 30,
 
(In thousands)  2024   2023   2024   2023

Depreciation expense is recorded within general and administrative, selling and marketing, and research and development depending on the nature of the related property and equipment.

 

Construction in Progress (“CIP”) includes all direct and indirect costs related to the construction, development, or acquisition of tangible property and equipment that is not yet ready for use. All costs incurred during the construction phase are accumulated in the CIP account. Costs remain in the CIP account until the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once the asset is ready for use, the total accumulated costs are transferred from the CIP account to the appropriate property and equipment account. The asset is then depreciated over its estimated useful life from the date it is placed into service. CIP is reviewed regularly to ensure that all costs are accurate and that the project is progressing as planned. Any indication of impairment is assessed, and if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold property and equipment with a cost basis of $1,000 in exchange for proceeds of $10,000, resulting in a gain of $9,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company disposed certain property and equipment for a loss of $26,000, including $16,000 of research and development laboratory equipment recorded as research and development expense on the statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company retired certain fully depreciated property and equipment which had an original cost of $23,000 and $544,000, respectively.

Sales tax payable

 

Sales tax payable primarily represents identified sales and use tax liabilities arising from our 2021 acquisitions of Precision Extraction Newco, LLC (“Precision”) and Cascade Sciences, LLC (“Cascade”) from Sinclair Scientific, LLC (“Sinclair”). These amounts are included as part of our initial purchase price allocations and are the subject matter of an indemnification claim under the Precision and Cascade acquisition agreement.

 

Accrued acquisition liabilities

 

Resulting from the 2021 acquisitions of Precision and Cascade from Sinclair, the Company withheld from the transaction shares issuable to Precision and Cascade for the purpose of securing any post-closing adjustment owed to the Company and any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which the Company may be entitled under the purchase agreement. The accrued acquisition liabilities as of December 31, 2023 represent the value of this held back Common Stock at the price per share at the time of the transaction.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision, filed an Amended Verified Complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Sinclair and certain individual defendants (the “Delaware Action”). The claims filed in the Delaware Action concern various breaches of the plan of merger and equity purchase agreement dated September 29, 2021, by and between the Company, Sinclair, Mass2Media, LLC, and certain of their members (the “Merger Agreement”). In response to the Delaware Action, certain of the defendants filed counterclaims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against the Company and Precision alleging breach of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated December 14, 2023, the Company and Sinclair dismissed all legal claims and entered into a settlement for an undisclosed amount. As a result of this settlement, the Company derecognized the accrued acquisition liability and issued the held back Common Stock in the first quarter of 2024 at Agrify’s price per share at the time of issuance. The difference between the value of the shares at issuance and the derecognized liabilities was recorded as a gain within change in contingent consideration within the Company’s condensed and consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measures

 

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company measures fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or

for similar markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own

assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

 

Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

 

   September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has certain financial instruments which 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. Fair value information for each of these instruments as well as other balances of the Company are as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Marketable securities classified as current held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, which at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximated fair value.

 

Accounts receivable and loans receivable are presented net of an allowance for estimated credit losses, which approximates fair value.

 

The Company’s contingent consideration was recorded in connection with acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transactions. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the deferred consideration approximated fair value.

 

18

 

 

The carrying value of lease liabilities approximates fair value due to the implicit discount rates used in the determination of the lease liabilities being consistent with the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time of lease inception and accounting for the duration of the leases.

 

Long-term debt and related party debt, including the debt that has undergone troubled debt restructuring, is carried at amortized cost, dictated by the prevailing market interest rates at the time of each transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).

 

The Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of the warrant liabilities are estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

  As detailed in Note 9 - Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company amended Pre-Funded Warrants that had been issued to a related party such that they again became liability classified. These warrants were marked to fair value upon the execution of this amendment in August 2024. Through an additional amendment executed as of September 30, 2024, the warrants again met the requirements for equity classification and were marked to fair value as of that date. The warrants will not be marked to fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Marketable Securities

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held investments in money market funds. They are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified under Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The fair value of the Company’s money market funds as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted to $4 thousand for both periods, respectively.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent the Company’s best estimate. The volatility rate is determined utilizing the Company’s own share price and the share price of competitors over time.

 

However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

Note 5 — Loans Receivable

 

A portion of the capital raised from the Company’s Initial Public Offering was allocated to launch the Company’s total turn-key solution program (“TTK Solution”). The TTK Solution is the industry’s first-of-its-kind program in which the Company engages with qualified cannabis operators in the early phases of their business plans and provides critical support, typically over a 10-year period, which includes: access to capital for construction costs, the design and build-out of their cultivation and extraction facilities, state-of-the-art cultivation and extraction equipment, subscription to the Company’s Agrify Insights™, process design, training, implementation, proven grow recipes, product formulations, data analytics, and consumer branding.

Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. (“Bud & Mary’s”) - Customer 139

 

On May 12, 2021 the company executed an agreement with our customer, Bud & Mary’s, under the TTK solution program to provide financing and project management for the build out and development of their cultivation facility. The initial payment date on the loan receivable from our customer Bud & Mary’s is the first business day of the first full month following the commencement of commercial products sales and the maturity date is 24 months from the initial payment date. The interest rate is 16% per annum.

 

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company became aware that Bud & Mary’s was not in compliance with all debt covenants as defined in the governing loan agreement dated May 12, 2021, which resulted in the Company issuing a loan acceleration letter to Bud & Mary’s on September 15, 2022, demanding full repayment of the loan. Consequently, the Company established a reserve of $14.7 million specifically related to Bud & Mary’s. As of September 30, 2024, the allowance related to Bud & Mary’s was reduced to $14.4 million, reflecting a recovery of allowance for credit losses resulting from a loan repayment of $330 thousand that was previously included in the allowance.

 

Hannah Industries (“Hannah”) - Customer 125

 

On May 10, 2021 the company executed an agreement with our customer, Hannah, under the TTK solution program to provide financing and project management for the build out and development of their cultivation facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was unable to provide additional financing. As a result, the Company concluded that the existing receivable due from Hannah was impaired as of this date. Given the uncertainty around Hannah’s ability to repay the outstanding balance of the loan as well as the absence of value attributed to any collateral from Hannah, an allowance for credit losses was recognized for 50% of the total outstanding receivable balance as of December 31, 2022. The Company recognized an allowance for credit losses related to the Hannah loan receivable in the amount of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2022. In October 2023, the Company remitted an additional $250 thousand to Hannah under the TTK Solution program, on which an allowance was not recorded since the payment signals progress toward completion of the project. Therefore the allowance on the Hannah loan remains at $4.5 million as of September 30, 2024.

 

Once the project is completed, the customer will begin making monthly payments based on its cannabis harvest.

 

Nevada Holistics (“Treehouse”) - Customer 24096

 

On December 21, 2021 the company executed an agreement with our customer, Nevada Holistics, under the TTK solution program to provide financing and project management for the build out and development of their cultivation facility. As of September 30, 2024, Nevada Holistics has a current balance of $1.68 million due to the company in relation to the loan under the TTK Solution program. The project went live in the second quarter of 2023. After the 90 day period for Treehouse’s first harvest, the customer was given an additional 6-month grace period which ended in the first quarter of 2024. Upon completion of this grace period, the Company began invoicing the customer each month for a portion of the outstanding loan balance. The borrower had previously agreed to begin making monthly payments in the second quarter of 2024 based on what it produces through harvests, though no payments have yet been received and negotiations have been ongoing. Monthly payments would be calculated based off of the Production Success Fees generated from each harvest. Upon issuance of each invoice to Treehouse, that portion of the loan is reclassified into loan receivable, current on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Note 6 — Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Such costs include the acquisition cost for raw materials and operating supplies. The Company’s standard payment terms with suppliers may require making payments in advance of delivery of the Company’s products. The Company’s prepaid inventory is applied to the purchase of products once they are delivered.

Exchange Note

 

On August 18, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note with an original principal amount of $35.0 million (the “Exchange Note”) to High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Original Lender”). The Exchange Note was a senior secured obligation of the Company and ranked senior to all indebtedness of the Company. The Exchange Note had an original maturity date of August 18, 2025 (the “Original Maturity Date”) and contains a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning September 1, 2022. The principal amount of the Exchange Note would be payable on the Original Maturity Date, provided that the Original Lender was entitled to a cash sweep of 20% of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with any equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note.

 

On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Original Lender. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at closing the Company prepaid approximately $10.3 million in principal amount under the Exchange Note and exchanged $10.0 million of the remaining principal balance of the Exchange Note for a new senior secured convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) with an original principal amount of $10.0 million. After the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Note had a remaining balance of $11.7 million. Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.

 

Convertible Note

 

In connection with the Exchange Agreement the Company issued the Convertible Note, which bore a 9.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning April 1, 2023. The principal amount of the Convertible Note would be payable on the Original Maturity Date, provided that the Original Lender was entitled to a cash sweep of 30% of the proceeds of any at-the-market equity offering and 20% of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with any other equity financing, which would reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note or the Convertible Note.

 

At any time, the Company may prepay all of the Convertible Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Original Lender had the option of requiring the Company to redeem the Convertible Note (i) on August 19, 2023 or August 19, 2024 at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, provided that the redemption right on August 19, 2023 will not be exercisable if the Company raises at least $8.0 million in gross proceeds from equity offerings prior to such date, or (ii) if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined below) at a price equal to 102.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest.

 

The Convertible Note imposed certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that will (i) restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, (ii) restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, and (iii) restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the Convertible Note occurs, the Original Lender can elect to redeem the Convertible Note for cash equal to (A) 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the Original Lender), plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 15% from the date of a default or event of default, or, only in connection with certain events of default, (B) the greater of the amount under clause (A) or the sum of (i) 115% of the product of (a) the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date that the Original Lender delivers a notice of acceleration; (b) the total then outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note (in thousands); and (c) the greater of (1) the highest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Original Lender delivers such notice and (2) the highest daily VWAP per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading immediately before the date the applicable event of default occurred and (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Note.

 

Until the date the Convertible Note was fully repaid, the Original Lender had, subject to certain exceptions, the right to participate for up to 30% of any offering of debt, equity (other than an offering of solely Common Stock), or equity-linked securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security, of the Company or its subsidiaries.

If the Original Lender elected to convert the Convertible Note, the conversion price per share would be $114.60, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. The conversion of the Convertible Note would be subject to certain customary conditions. The Convertible Note could not be converted into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in the Original Lender and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that upon 61 days’ notice, such ownership limitation may be adjusted by the Original Lender, but in any case, to no greater than 9.99%.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded features in accordance with ASC 815-15-25 and determined that the embedded features are not required to be bifurcated and separately measured at fair value.

 

On April 26, 2023, the Original Lender elected to convert $1.6 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount on the Convertible Note for 10,241 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Original Lender, pursuant to which the Company and the Original Lender agreed to exchange or redeem $2.0 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note for a total of 29,679 shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock. Due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99%, a total of 4,638 shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued to the Original Lender, with the remaining 25,042 shares held in abeyance until the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the redemption of approximately $12,000. Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.

 

CP Acquisitions Junior Secured Note

 

On October 27, 2023, CP Acquisitions LLC (“CP Acquisitions”), an entity affiliated with and controlled by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, purchased the Exchange Note and the Convertible Note from the Original Lender (the “Note Purchase”). In connection with the Note Purchase, CP Acquisitions has agreed to waive any events of default under the acquired notes through December 31, 2023. As part of the same transaction, the Company issued a junior secured promissory note (the “Junior Secured Note”) to CP Acquisitions. Pursuant to the Junior Secured Note, CP Acquisitions will lend up to $3.0 million to the Company. The Junior Secured Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, will mature in full on December 31, 2023, and may be prepaid without any fee or penalty. On December 4, 2023, CP Acquisitions and the Company amended and restated the Junior Secured Note agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the maximum principal amount that may be loaned by CP Acquisitions to the Company was increased to $4.0 million and extended the maturity date thereon to December 31, 2024. Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.

 

Convertible Note Forgiveness

 

On November 30, 2023, CP Acquisitions agreed to forgive $1.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the Convertible Note (the “Principal Forgiveness”). The Principal Forgiveness was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470, as 1) the Company was determined to be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and 2) the Principal Forgiveness was deemed a concession by CP Acquisitions. Per ASC 470-60-35-5, a debtor in a troubled debt restructuring involving only modification of terms of a payable (i.e., not involving a transfer of assets or grant of an equity interest) shall account for the effects of the restructuring prospectively from the time of restructuring and shall not change the carrying amount of the payable at the time of the restructuring unless the carrying amount exceeds the total future cash payments specified by the new terms. As the future undiscounted cash flows were greater than or equal to the net carrying value of the original debt, the carrying amount of the debt at the time of the restructuring was not changed.

 

Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note

 

On January 25, 2024, the Company and CP Acquisitions consolidated the outstanding principal and interest due under the Junior Secured Note and the Exchange Note as well as the interest due under the Convertible Note into the Convertible Note (collectively, with the Junior Secured Note and the Exchange Note, the “Consolidated Notes”), and amended and restated the Convertible Note under a Senior Secured Amended, Restated, and Consolidated Convertible Note agreement (the “Restated Note”) having a total outstanding principal of $18,308,021 (the “New Lender Debt Consolidation”). The Restated Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and will mature in full on December 31, 2025. The Company may redeem all or a portion not less than $5.0 million of principal at any time at a price equal to 102.5% of the redeemed principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.

 

24

 

 

The Restated Note imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that will (i) restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, (ii) restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, and (iii) restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the Restricted Note occurs, then the then outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Restated Note will immediately become due and payable.

 

If CP Acquisitions elects to convert the Restated Note, the conversion price per share will be $21.90, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. The conversion of the Restated Note will be subject to certain customary conditions. The Restated Note may not be converted into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in CP Acquisitions and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 49.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Immediately following the execution of the Restated Note, CP Acquisitions elected to convert approximately $3.9 million of outstanding principal into an aggregate of 178,108 shares of Common Stock (the “January Conversion”) having a fair value of approximately $1.7 million. As the January Conversion was exercised by the CP Acquisitions in conjunction and in connection with the New Lender Debt Consolidation, the two transactions combined were considered a modification of the total debt outstanding with CP Acquisitions (the “CP Debt Restructuring”).

 

The CP Debt Restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470, as 1) the Company was determined to be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and 2) the CP Debt Restructuring was deemed to result in a concession by CP Acquisitions. The Company performed a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows associated with the Restated Note subsequent to the CP Debt Restructuring to the carrying value of the Consolidated Notes as of the CP Debt Restructuring date. The net carrying value of the Consolidated Notes was determined to exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the Restated Note after consideration of the January Conversion by approximately $675,000 (the “CP Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value”). The Restated Note was thus written down to the amount of the undiscounted future cash flows on the Restated Note from the CP Restructuring date to maturity. Further, as CP Acquisitions was a related party of the Company, the CP Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value was accounted for as a capital transaction and no gain or loss was recognized related to the restructuring.

 

Aggregate interest expense related to the CP Acquisitions Note described above was $115,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

GIC Acquisition Note

 

On July 12, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “GIC Note”, and, collectively with the Consolidated Note, the “Related Party Notes”) to GIC Acquisition, LLC (“GIC”), an entity that is owned and managed by the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the GIC Note, GIC is obligated to lend up to $0.5 million to the Company, $0.3 million of which was delivered at issuance and the remaining $0.2 million delivered on July 31, 2023. The GIC Note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, would mature in full on August 6, 2023, and could be prepaid without any fee or penalty. The GIC Note ranks junior to all existing secured indebtedness of the Company. On October 27, 2023, the maturity date of the GIC Note was subsequently amended to December 31, 2024 at which point principal and accrued interest will be repaid in full. Interest expense incurred on the GIC Note amounted to $47,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to “Amendment of Related Party Notes” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.

 

Amendment of Related Party Notes

 

On May 21, 2024, the Company and CP Acquisitions entered into an amendment to the Restated Note (the “Consolidated Note Amendment”), pursuant to which CP Acquisitions may elect, in lieu of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Restated Note, to instead receive Pre-Funded Warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”). The conversion price applicable to the Pre-Funded Warrants will remain unchanged at $21.90.

 

Immediately following the execution of the Consolidated Note Amendment, CP Acquisitions elected to convert $11.5 million of outstanding principal into a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 525,114 shares of Common Stock having a fair value of approximately $2.9 million (the “CP Warrant Conversion”).

 

25

 

 

On May 21, 2024, GIC and the Company amended and restated the GIC Note (the “Restated GIC Note”, and, collectively with the Consolidated Note Amendment, the “Related Party Debt Amendments”) to increase the aggregate principal amount to approximately $2.29 million, extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025, and provide that the Restated Junior Note may be converted into Common Stock of the Company or, at GIC’s election, Pre-Funded Warrants, in each case at a conversion price of $4.65.

 

Immediately following the execution of the Restated GIC Note, GIC elected to convert all of the outstanding principal under the Restated GIC Note into a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 492,204 shares of Common Stock having a fair value of approximately $2.7 million (the “GIC Warrant Conversion”, and, collectively with the CP Warrant Conversion, the “Related Party Warrant Conversions”).

 

As the Related Party Warrant Conversions were exercised in connection with the Related Party Debt Amendments by CP Acquisitions and GIC, related party lenders under common control (the “Related Party Lenders”), the transactions combined were considered a modification of the total debt outstanding with the related parties (the “Related Party Debt Restructuring”).

 

The Related Party Debt Restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470, as 1) the Company was determined to be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and 2) the Related Party Debt Restructuring was deemed to result in a concession by the Related Party Lenders. The Company performed a comparison of the aggregated undiscounted cash flows associated with the Related Party Notes subsequent to the Related Party Debt Restructuring to the aggregate carrying value of the Related Party Notes as of the Related Party Debt Restructuring date. The net carrying value of the Related Party Notes was determined to exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the Related Party Notes as modified by the Related Party Debt Restructuring by approximately $10,000,000 (the “Related Party Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value”). The aggregate carrying value of the Related Party Notes was thus written down to the amount of the undiscounted future cash flows on the Related Party Notes from the Related Party Debt Restructuring date to maturity (the “Restructured Related Party Debt”). Further, as the Related Party Lenders are related parties of the Company, the Related Party Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value was accounted for as a capital transaction and no gain or loss was recognized related to the restructuring.

 

The carrying value of the Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note as a result of the Related Party Debt Restructuring was approximately $4.4 million at September 30, 2024.

 

CP Acquisitions Promissory Note

 

On August 14, 2024, the Company issued a junior secured promissory note (the “2024 CP Note”) to CP Acquisitions. Pursuant to the 2024 CP Note, CP Acquisitions would lend up to $1,500,000 to the Company. The 2024 CP Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, will mature in full on July 1, 2025, and may be prepaid without any fee or penalty. The note was subsequently amended to lend up to $3,000,000 to the Company. The 2024 CP Note is secured by the Company’s assets and ranks junior to existing secured indebtedness of the Company. The 2024 CP Note may be converted into Common Stock of the Company or, at CP Acquisitions’ election, Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share, in each case at a conversion price of $3.9495. Borrowings under the 2024 CP Note during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $2.34 million. Interest expense incurred on the 2024 CP Note amounted to approximately $37,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

As of September 30, 2024, future minimum principal payments on all debt positions, excluding accrued interest amounts, were as follows:

 

Years ending December 31 (In thousands),    
Remaining 2024  $404 
2025   5,784 
2026   1 
Total future payments  $6,189 

 

Note 8 — 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 an original lease term of 12 months or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

26

 

 

As the implicit interest rate in its leases was generally not known, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present value of its lease liabilities. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate was determined using the interest rate on a long term debt position entered into at approximately the same time and for the same duration as the lease. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company’s weighted-average discount rate utilized for its leases was 7.96% and 7.51%, respectively.

 

The Company had several non-cancelable finance leases for machinery and equipment, all of which ended or were terminated during 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no active finance leases.

 

The Company has several non-cancellable operating leases for corporate offices, warehouses, showrooms, research and development facilities and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to four years, some of which include options to extend. Some leases include payment for communal area maintenance associated with the property. Cash paid for operating leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $729,691 and $512,309, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, one of the Company’s leased assets was sold by the lessor to another counterparty, effectively cancelling the remainder of the lease with the Company. There were no penalties arising from the cancellation. The Company recognized a gain on early termination in the amount of $39 thousand in the period, calculated as the difference between the remaining right-of-use asset and lease liability at the time of termination.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

Public Offerings

 

On February 27, 2024, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) with Alexander Capital as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 184,000 shares of its Common Stock, and, in lieu of Common Stock to certain investors that so chose, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 264,246 shares of its Common Stock (the “S-1 Offering”). The public offering price for each share of Common Stock was $5.70, and the offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $5.685, which equals the public offering price per share of the Common Stock, less the $0.015 per share exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant.

 

The Company issued 4,482 warrants to purchase Common Stock to Alexander Capital (the “Placement Agents Warrants”). The Placement Agents Warrants were classified as equity warrants and recorded under additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Placement Agents Warrants have a five-year term and exercise price of 100% of the offering price, and are subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Placement Agents Warrants will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agents Warrants or if shareholder approval for the full exercise of the Placement Agents Warrants are not received, in which case the Placement Agents Warrants will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis at Alexander Capital’s election.

 

The measurement of fair value of the Placement Agents Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $7.80, exercise price of $5.70, term of five years, volatility of 128%, risk-free rate of 4.32%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Placement Agents Warrants was estimated to be $31,000 on February 27, 2024, and is reflected within additional paid-in capital as of September 30, 2024.

 

Equity Line of Credit Facility

 

On August 28, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”), pursuant to which Ionic committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time and at our sole discretion over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement.

 

From and after the date the registration statement relating to the resale of the shares sold to Ionic was declared effective, November 5, 2024, we may from time to time on any business day, by written notice delivered by us to Ionic, direct Ionic to purchase between $250,000 and $750,000 of shares of Common Stock on such business day, at a purchase price per share that will be equal to 93% (or 80% if the Common Stock is not then trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market) of the lowest daily VWAP over a specified measurement period beginning after the delivery of the purchase notice, as described further in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Regular Purchase”). The Purchase Agreement also permitted us to deliver an exemption purchase notice for $400,000 on the date of signing, with the shares so purchased to be delivered following the Commencement Date, and we delivered an exemption purchase notice for $400,000 for the purchase by Ionic of 189,645 shares of Common Stock. We will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to Ionic pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Ionic has no right to require us to sell any shares of Common Stock to Ionic, but Ionic is obligated to make purchases as we direct, subject to certain conditions.

 

Related Party Warrant Issuance

 

On May 21, 2024, in connection with the Consolidated Note Amendment, the Company issued 492,204 and 525,114 Pre-Funded Warrants to GIC Acquisitions and CP Acquisitions (the “Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants”), respectively, in exchange of notes payable amounting approximately to $2.29 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants can be used to purchase Company’s Common Stock with par value of $0.001 at an exercise price of $0.015. The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants have been identified as freestanding financial instruments and were determined not to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Warrants are precluded from being classified within equity and classified as a liability with subsequent changes in fair value recognized each reporting period in earnings. The fair value of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants on the issuance date was $5,600,334 determined as the intrinsic value.

 

28

 

 

On June 30, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to which the Company revised certain provisions of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to (i) remove the adjustment to the exercise price of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants when there is a bona fide equity financing with the primary purpose of raising capital (the “Adjustment Provisions”) and (ii) increase the threshold for a change of control from 50% to greater than 50%. The classification of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants was reassessed upon the modification and the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants were determined to meet all of the additional requirements for equity classification. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the Company remeasured the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to its fair value immediately prior to the modification and recognized the change in fair value of approximately $1.2 million in earnings. The Company then reclassified the Pre-Funded Warrant liability to stockholders’ equity at its post-modification fair value of $6.8 million.

 

On August 12, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to add the Adjustment Provisions at a future date. Pursuant to that approval, on August 28, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to insert the Adjustment Provisions. This resulted in a reassessment of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants such that they no longer met the requirements for equity classification and became classified as liabilities. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification, resulting in a reduction in value of approximately $3.1 million. The fair value, as of August 28, 2024, of $3,723,383 was reclassified to a warrant liability. As a result of the warrant amendments and the subsequent issuance of 189,645 shares of Common Stock to Ionic at an effective purchase price of $2.109 per share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrant held by CP Acquisitions was adjusted to 5,452,288 and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrant held by GIC Acquisition was adjusted to 1,085,122. On August 30, 2024, CP Acquisitions partially exercised its Pre-Funded Warrant and entities affiliated with Raymond Chang and I-Tseng Jenny Chan received an aggregate of 383,127 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to remove the Adjustment Provisions. Accordingly, the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants met the requirements for equity classification. The amendment also included a provision preventing the holders from any additional exercise of either of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants at any time between September 27, 2024 and October 9, 2024. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification resulting in an increase to the fair value of $18,392,143. The fair value as of September 27, 2024 of $20,770,707 was reclassified to equity.

 

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans

 

2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

 

On April 29, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors, and on June 8, 2022, the Company’s stockholders, adopted and approved the 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation right awards, performance share awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be reserved and available for grant and issuance under the 2022 Plan is 1,765 shares and 16,667 additional shares issued upon approval by the Board of Directors on January 8, 2024. On August 12, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2022 Plan to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder by 166,667. Shares will be deemed to have been issued under the 2022 Plan solely to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an award. The 2022 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it was adopted by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2024, there were 36,190 shares of Common Stock available to be granted under the Company’s 2022 Plan.

 

The Company’s stock compensation expense was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s stock compensation expense was $0.9 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock Options

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no options granted or exercised under the Company’s stock option plans. For the same period, there were 36 options expired with a weighted average exercise price of $22,456.50. There were 651 and 687 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $24,187.65 and $23,938.80 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were 650 options vested and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $24,187.65 as of September 30, 2024. There were 651 options vested and expected to vest with a weighted average exercise price of $24,165.45 as of September 30, 2024

 

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $7,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.27 years.

 

The following table summarizes information about options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2024:

Note 12 — Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rates were both 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was no provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There is no difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the 2024 and 2023 periods. There was no change in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Note 13 — Net Loss Per Share

 

Net (loss) income per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s reverse stock splits. Net (loss) income per share was calculated based on the weighted-average number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.

 

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including convertible notes, outstanding stock options, stock related to unvested restricted stock units, and outstanding warrants to the extent dilutive. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods, including convertible notes, options, restricted stock units and warrants computed using the treasury stock method, is anti-dilutive.

 

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows:

 

   Three months ended
September 30,
   Nine months ended
September 30,
 
(In thousands, except share and per share data)  2024   2023   2024   2023 
Numerator:                
Net loss available for common stockholders  $(18,651)  $(2,092)  $(17,387)  $(19,224)
Denominator:                    
Weighted-average Common Stock outstanding   1,077,780    109,983    1,033,582    95,068 
Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted  $(17.31)  $(19.02)  $(16.82)  $(202.21)

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an outstanding principal balance under the Restated Note and Consolidated Notes of approximately $3.3 million convertible into 180,127 shares of Common Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company also converted a portion of the convertible notes into 178,109 shares of Common Stock and 1,017,318 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. Given the nominal exercise price of the Company’s issuance of Pre-Funded Warrants, such Pre-Funded Warrants are included in in the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share and weighted for the period outstanding from issuance to September 30, 2024. The exercise price per warrant is deemed non-substantive when compared to the fair value of the underlying common shares.

 

31

 

 

For each of the periods presented, the Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share with the exception of the Pre-Funded Warrants, or penny warrants, which are included in the computation, as detailed above. The weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential Common Stock equivalents presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

 

   Nine months

September 30,
2024
   Nine months

2023
 
Shares subject to outstanding stock options   651    10,969 
Shares subject to unvested restricted stock units   136,880    4,574 
Shares subject to outstanding warrants   154,149    1,495,001 
   291,680    1,510,544

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in material legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Bud & Mary’s Litigation

 

On September 15, 2022, the Company provided a notice of default to Bud & Mary’s and certain related parties notifying such parties that Bud & Mary’s was in default of its obligations under the TTK Solution agreement between the Company and Bud & Mary (the “Bud & Mary TTK Agreement”). On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Suffolk County, naming the Company as the defendant (the “Bud & Mary Complaint”). Bud & Mary’s is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and conversion arising from the Bud & Mary TTK Agreement. While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations, litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company deemed it necessary to fully reserve for the outstanding $14.7 million note receivable balance due to the current litigation and the uncertainty of the customer’s ability to repay the balance. As of September 30, 2024, the allowance related to Bud & Mary’s was reduced to $14.4 million, reflecting a recovery of allowance for credit losses resulting from a loan repayment of $330 thousand that was previously included in the allowance. The $14.4 million represents the amount of the contingent loss that the Company has determined to be reasonably possible and estimable. The actual cost of resolving this matter may be higher or lower than the amount the Company has reserved. If the Company is unable to realize revenue from its TTK Solution offerings on a timely basis or at all, or if it incurs an additional loss as a result of the Bud & Mary’s claim, the Company’s business and financial performance will be adversely affected. On November 14, 2022, the Company filed its answers and affirmative defenses to the Bud & Mary Complaint and counterclaims. The Company is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with the breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and enforcement of the guarantees. This matter is still actively ongoing. A Rule 16 Litigation Control Conference is scheduled for December 4, 2024.

 

Bowdoin Construction Corp. Litigation

 

On February 22, 2023, Bowdoin Construction Corp. (“Bowdoin”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, naming the Company (the “Bowdoin Complaint”), Bud & Mary’s and certain related parties as defendants, captioned Bowdoin Construction Corp. v. Agrify Corporation, Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. and BMLC2, LLC, case no. 2382CV00173. The Bowdoin Complaint relates to a construction contract between Bowdoin and the Company relating to the property that is the subject of the Bud & Mary’s Complaint, and alleges breach of contract by Bud & Mary’s and by the Company due to nonpayment of approximately $7.0 million due under the contract and related indemnification claims and mechanics’ liens. $6.3 million is included in accounts payable and $700 thousand is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Two of Bowdoin’s subcontractors, Hannon Electric, Inc.and Electric Supply Center Corp, have filed a separate suits against Agrify in the amount of $1.498 million and $93 thousand, respectively. These amounts are part of the $7.0 million claimed in Bowdoin’s Complaint. The Company has denied liability in all such suits. Bowdoin and Agrify are attempting to work cooperatively to settle the subcontractor disputes. A status conference will be held concerning this Litigation and consolidated related subcontractor suits in January 2025.

Mack Molding Co.

 

In December 2020, the Company entered into a five-year supply agreement with Mack Molding Co. (“Mack”) pursuant to which Mack became a key supplier of VFUs. In February 2021, the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $5.2 million towards the initial production of VFUs during 2021. Since February 2021, the Company increased the purchase order with Mack to approximately $26.5 million towards production of VFUs during 2021 and 2022. The Company believed the supply agreement with Mack would provide the Company with increased scaling capabilities and the ability to meet the potential future demand of its customers more efficiently. The supply agreement contemplates that, following an introductory period, the Company negotiated a minimum percentage of the VFU requirements that the Company 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. The Company believed this approach would result in both parties making a more informed decision with respect to the pricing and other terms of the supply agreement with Mack. On October 11, 2022, the Company received a $9.4 million invoice from Mack for inventory purchased on the Company’s behalf to build VFUs. As part of the terms of the contract manufacturing agreement, Mack had the contractual right to bill the Company for any inventory that had aged greater than nine months. Due to a slowdown in the demand for the VFUs and the lack of a demand forecast that the Company could provide to the vendor, Mack exercised the right to invoice the Company for the slow-moving inventory. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a contingent liability in the amount of $8.4 million, representing an estimate of the amount payable to Mack with respect to the original Mack purchase agreement, and which was included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. On March 2, 2023, Mack filed an arbitration action seeking the amounts owed to Mack for purchased inventory. On October 27, 2023, and effective as of October 18, 2023, Mack and the Company entered into a Modification and Settlement Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with respect to the dispute rather than engaging in litigation through the courts.

 

On February 29, 2024, the Company met its contractual obligations under the terms of the Modification Agreement. In settlement of the dispute, the Company made cash payments of $500,000 and $250,000 to Mack and issued to Mack a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In the first quarter of 2024, management derecognized the previously recognized contingent liability, resulting in a credit of approximately $5.9 million, recorded within gain on settlement of contingent liabilities, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company and Mack entered into an amendment to the Modification Agreement, which modified the payment terms and VFU purchase requirements under the Modification Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed to make payments of $1.0 million prior to October 31, 2024 (the “October Payment”) and an additional $1.0 million prior to December 31, 2024. The Company has not made the October Payment as of the date hereof, however the Company is working with Mack to extend the date of the October Payment. The Company also agreed to purchase at least 25 VFUs prior to October 31, 2024 and a further 25 VFUs between November 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. Upon payment in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the Company will be entitled to certain residual inventory in the possession of Mack, and the warrant issued to Mack will be terminated.
