TWO RIVERS WATER & FARMING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to “Two Rivers,” or the “Company” is to Two Rivers Water & Farming Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Corporate Evolution

 

Prior to 2009, the Company was named Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“Navidec”) and had been engaged in mortgage lending and other enterprises unrelated to its current lines of business. Navidec was incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 20, 2002. On July 28, 2009, Navidec formed a wholly-owned Colorado corporation for the purpose of acquiring farm and water assets in the Colorado Huerfano/Cucharas watershed. On November 19, 2009, with shareholder approval, Navidec changed its name to Two Rivers Water Company. On December 11, 2012, with shareholder approval, the Company changed its name to Two Rivers Water & Farming Company.

 

On January 29, 2014, the board of directors approved a plan to reorganize our subsidiaries in a more integrated manner based on functional operations. We formed a new company, TR Capital Partners, LLC or TR Capital, which issued all of its common units to Two Rivers Water & Farming Capital. TR Capital then initiated the transactions described below under “Placement of Preferred Units”. Following the completion of those transactions in September 2014, TR Capital and our other direct and indirect subsidiaries (excluding HCIC Holdings, LLC and Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company) entered into a series of related transactions as the result of which assets and operations of such other subsidiaries transferred to TR Capital. As a result of those transactions, TR Capital operates all of the operations formerly conducted by those subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

In 2009, we began acquiring and developing irrigated farmland and associated water rights and infrastructure. As of March 31, 2019, we own approximately 7,076 gross acres. Gross acres owned showed a net increase of 646 acres from 6,430 gross acres at December 31, 2018 due the addition of 1,000 acres owned by Huerfano Cucharas Irrigation Company that was previously not reported netted by the elimination of 354 acres from the deconsolidation of GrowCo.

 

We are focused on water assets we have acquired and will acquire in the future. Since 2009, we have acquired strategic water assets and land in the Huerfano and Cucharas river basins in southeastern Colorado, thus the name Two Rivers. Our water asset area spans over 1,900 square miles and drops in elevation from over 14,000 feet down to the confluence of the Arkansas River, just east of Pueblo Colorado at 4,500 feet. We operate in a natural, gravity fed water alluvial. This basin is the last undeveloped basin along the front range of Colorado. As our first water-focused project, we plan to fully develop this basin to properly manage the water contained therein and serve the community while providing returns to our investors.

 

Since October 2016 we have refocused on monetizing our assets. Monetization occurs in two different ways: sell or additionally invest. We have determined to sell assets that we have determined will not yield significant future returns to our shareholders and invest strategically in the assets that will. We will take net proceeds, if any, from these sales and continue to invest in our water and water infrastructure.

 

In May 2014, we formed GrowCo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Two Rivers through the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock. On August 1, 2014, we announced that we were placing 10,000,000 GrowCo shares in a trust to be distributed to Two Rivers’ common shareholders. As of March 31, 2018, the Company owned 10,000,000 GrowCo shares out of reported shares outstanding of 34,343,000, or 29.12%. The reported outstanding shares were provided to the Company by GrowCo’s management.

 

  9  
 

 

The Company requested from GrowCo management financial information to complete the Company’s June 30, 2018 financials. On July 17, 2018 the Company was notified by GrowCo’s management that GrowCo will not provide the requested financial information. This event triggered the Company’s management to re-examine the consolidation and VIE (variable interest entity) rules under US GAAP. Management concluded that as of April 1, 2018 the consolidation of GrowCo and GrowCo’s related entities is no longer required under US GAAP.

 

Water Redevelopment Company

 

We formed Water Redevelopment Company (“Water Redev”) in February 2017 for the purpose of separating our water assets from the rest of our business and to enable additional raising of capital for the purpose of investing in our water assets. Water Redevelopment Company is a subsidiary of Two Rivers and focuses on development and redevelopment of infrastructure for water management and delivery. Water is one of the most basic, core assets. Water Redevelopment’s first area of focus is in the Huerfano-Cucharas river basin in southeastern Colorado.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Two Rivers, Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company, TR Capital and its subsidiaries: Two Rivers Farms, and Two Rivers Water. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Under guidance in ASC 810-10-05-8 “Consolidation of VIEs” (Variable Interest Entities) the Company’s management has determined that GrowCo and its related entities, GCP1, GCP Super Units, GCP2, should no longer be consolidated for financial statement purposes. The Company now reports its ownership position under the equity method of accounting. Before the three months ended June 30, 2018, GrowCo and its related entities were consolidated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 210 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2019.

 

Deconsolidation of GrowCo, Inc.

 

Even though the Company no longer consolidates GrowCo and GrowCo’s related entities into the Company’s financials, Management has determined that the Company is a guarantor of GrowCo’s $4M Secured Notes. The Company did not sign these notes as a guarantor but has provided collateral owned by the Company with a recent appraised value of $2,359,000. GCP1 managers have been in contact with Blue Green, the holder of $2,115,000 of the notes to discuss an arrangement whereby GCP1 might use leasing cash flow to pay the secured note holders. No agreement has been reached, but there have been discussions on a general structure that 50% of lease revenue (after direct costs) might be used to pay interest and retire the principal of these notes. Since Two Rivers’ Management desires to present a conservative representation of its financial information it has determined to set the probability of collection against its collateral at 100% of the recent appraised value. The Company has recorded a contingent liability of $2,359,000 and offset this amount as an increase in the Company’s investment in GCP1 (ASC 460-10-55-23c).

 

  10  
 

 

Additionally, US GAAP (ASC 810-10-40) provides guidance on “Derecognition” of a previously consolidated entity or entities. Under this guidance, Two Rivers shall account for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A by recognizing a gain or loss in net income attributable to the parent, measured as the difference between:

 

a. The aggregate of all of the following:

 

1. The fair value of any consideration received. In Two Rivers case, no consideration was received.

 

2. The fair value of any retained noncontrolling investment in the former subsidiary or group of assets at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated, or the group of assets is derecognized. In Two Rivers case, there were no retained noncontrolling investments in GrowCo or its related entities.

 

3. The carrying amount of any noncontrolling interest in the former subsidiary (including any accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest) at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In Two Rivers case, the total amount of the noncontrolling interest to derecognized is as follows as of April 1, 2018:

 

Entity   April 1, 2018  
GrowCo     (1,230,000 )
GrowCo Partners 1, LLC     3,621,000  
GCP Super Units, LLC     5,016,000  
TR Cap 20150630 Distribution, LLC     497,000  
TR Cap 20150930 Distribution, LLC     460,000  
TR Cap 20151231 Distribution, LLC     495,000  
Total   $ 8,859,000  

 

b. The carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s assets and liabilities or the carrying amount of the group of assets.

 

With the above guidance, during the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company determined that the effect of the deconsolidation of GrowCo produced a gain of $12,773,000 which is a non cash adjustment. This amount consists of elimination of the noncontrolling interest in GrowCo of $8,859,000 and $3,914,000 from the removal of GrowCo’s assets and liabilities. The $3,914,000 represented the amount of GrowCo liabilities over GrowCo’s assets.

 

Investment in GrowCo Partners 1, LLC (GCP1)

 

Due to the deconsolidation of GrowCo and its related entities, which include GCP1, the Company’s investment in GCP1 is now accounted for under the equity method.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

Below is the detail of non-controlling interest shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. Certain labels of accounts/classifications have been changed.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, Two Rivers considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject Two Rivers to significant concentrations of credit risk include cash equivalents, marketable investments, advances and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances in the form of bank demand deposits, money market accounts that management believes to be of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are typically uncollateralized and are derived from transactions with and from customers primarily located in the United States.

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

 

  Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
     
  Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

  12  
 

 

The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, marketable investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value. Marketable investments are valued at Level 1 due to readily available market quotes. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion approximated its carrying value. Fair value for long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices of the identical debt instruments or values of comparable borrowings.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset, which ranges from three to twenty-seven and a half years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

 

Below is a summary of premises and equipment:

 

Asset Type   Life in Years     March 31, 2019     December 31, 2018  
Office equipment, furniture   5 – 7     $ 12,000     $ 12,000  
Computers   3       46,000       46,000  
Vehicles   5       25,000       25,000  
Farm equipment   7 – 10       147,000       147,000  
Buildings   27.5       10,000       10,000  
Website   3       7,000       7,000  
Subtotal           247,000       247,000  
Less: Accumulated depreciation           (232,000 )     (227,000 )
Net book value         $ 15,000     $ 20,000  

 

Land

 

Land acquired for farming is recorded at cost. Some of the land acquired has not been farmed for many years, if not decades. Therefore, additional expenditures are required to make the land ready for efficient farming. Expenditures for leveling the land are added to the cost of the land. Irrigation is not capitalized in the cost of Land ( Property and Equipment above). Land is not depreciated. However, once per year, management will assess the value of land held, and in their opinion, if the land has become impaired, Management will establish an allowance against the land.

The Company’s land located in El Paso County, Colorado is being partially developed into 35 to 40 acre lots to be sold. For the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company recognized a gain of $238,000 from approximately $360,000 in land sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no sales of the Company’s El Paso County land.

 

Water Rights and Infrastructure

 

Subsequent to purchase of water rights and water infrastructure, management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets, and if the carrying value is in excess of fair market value, the Company will establish an impairment allowance. No amortization or depreciation is taken on the water rights. See the discussion below concerning Impairments – Water rights and infrastructure.

 

Intangibles

 

Two Rivers recognizes the estimated fair value of water rights acquired by the Company’s purchase of stock in HCIC and Orlando. These intangible assets will not be amortized because they have an indefinite remaining useful life based on many factors and considerations, including, the historical upward valuation of water rights within Colorado.

Impairments

 

Property and Equipment

 

Once per year we review all property, equipment and software owned by the Company and compare the net book value of such assets with the fair market value of each piece of equipment having a net book value greater than $5,000. If it is determined that the net book value is greater than the fair market value, an impairment will be recorded. If impairment is necessary, a loss on the value of the affected asset will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.

 

Land

 

Once per year we review each parcel of land owned by the Company together with improvements to each parcel and compare the carrying cost with the fair market value. If it appears that our carrying value may be greater than the fair market value, an independent appraisal will be ordered. If the appraised value is less than our carrying value, an impairment will be recorded. If impairment is necessary, a loss on the value of our land will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.

 

Water Rights and Infrastructure

 

Once per year we assess the value of the water rights held by the Company, comparing our estimated values with recent sales of comparable water rights along with depreciation of the infrastructures. In the event that such assessment indicates that the carrying value is greater than the fair market value of the water rights or the depreciable replacement cost of our infrastructure, an impairment will be recorded. If impairment is necessary, a loss on value of our water rights will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.

 

Prior to the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a $30,000 impairment on the Company’s land and water shares.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company examined the depreciable replacement cost of its water infrastructure. This analysis caused the recognition of $6,900,000 impairment to the water infrastructure.

 

In 2018 the Company obtained two independent appraisals covering its water assets. The appraisals were in excess of the Company’s carrying value of it water rights and infrastructure.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not recognioze any impairments.

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Farming

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company had approximately $0 in net crop share revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $0 in net crop share revenues. During 2018, the Company entered into a crop share arrangement for a percentage of a hemp crop produced on 4 acres of farm land at Butte Valley in Huerfano County, Colorado. A net payment of $18,000 for the Company’s share was received in the three months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Other

 

For the three months ending March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $14,000 in other revenues from grazing leases and member assessments. For the three months ending March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $0 in other revenues from grazing leases and member assessments.

 

Member Assessments

 

Once per year the HCIC board estimates HCIC’s expenses, less anticipated water revenues, and establishes an annual assessment per ownership share. One-half of the member assessment is recorded in the second quarter of the calendar year and the other one-half of the member assessment is recorded in the third quarter of the calendar year. Assessments paid by Two Rivers Water Company to HCIC are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

 

HCIC does not reserve against any unpaid assessments. Assessments due, but unpaid, are secured by the member’s ownership of HCIC. The value of this ownership is significantly greater than the annual assessments.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this standard, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of ASC 718 apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.

 

All options granted prior to the adoption of ASC 718 and outstanding during the periods presented were fully vested at the date of adoption.

Dam Demolition Expense

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018 a court date has been set for a hearing of the State of Colorado’s legal action to compel the Company to demolish Cucharas #5 reservoir. A contingent liability, with an offsetting expense of $1,800,000 has been recognized.

 

Debt and Equity

 

The Company accounts for warrants issued with debt in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470, Debt, and allocates proceeds received to the warrants based on relative fair values.

 

The Company also evaluates whether the issuance of the convertible instruments generates a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company would recognize the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of ordinary shares available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of each ordinary share on the commitment date, to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible preferred shares or debt instruments. No BCF has been recognized in the periods presented.

 

Preferred Dividend Payable

 

Preferred dividend payable represents dividends payable to holders of preferred units of TR Capital, approximately $4,937,000 as of March 31, 2019 and preferred dividends owed to holders of the Water Redevelopment Company preferred shares of approximately $39,000.

 

Beginning on July 1, 2018, the Company terminated the accrual of the preferred dividends payable to TR Capital preferred members due to a binding letter of intent executed with an outside strategic partner.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

  16  
 

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2019, no accrued interest or penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the balance sheet.

 

Net (Loss) per Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributed to Two Rivers available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period.

 

The dilutive effect of the outstanding 3,058,500 options, and 17,537,896 warrants at December 31, 2018, have an exercise price in excess of the Company’s closing price of $0.17/share as of December 28, 2018; therefore these shares have not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share since, under ASC 260 they would be anti-dilutive. However, during the quarter ending March 31, 2019, existing convertible debt was converted into 2,269,198 of the Company’s common shares. Therefore, these additional shares are added to the basic shares for the period ended December 31, 2018.

 

The three months ended March 31, 2019 produced a net loss to the Company’s sharehoders. Therefore, the dilutive effect of the outstanding RSUs, options, and warrants has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share since, since under ASC 260 they would anti-dilutive.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. The amendments in this Update modify certain disclosure requirements of fair value measurements and are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” . The amendment provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and allows entities to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. The Tax Act has several significant changes that impact all taxpayers, including a transition tax, which is a one-time tax charge on accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings. The calculation of accumulated foreign earnings requires an analysis of each foreign entity’s financial results going back to 1986. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in annual and interim periods and can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) “ Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) ”. This ASU deals with the reclassification of certain tax effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Company does not believe that there will be any significant financial impact due to prior taxable losses and our net operating loss carry forward.

 

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU “ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) ”: (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Management believes that Topics 260 and 480 pertains to the Company and the impact will be immaterial.

 

  17  
 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” , which clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments of this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Currently, the Company believes that this ASU has no impact on its financial statements and reporting; however, in the future it may have an impact on its financial statements with the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019. The Company only has one lease in effect; its office lease located in Aurora Colorado. The lease rate is less than $3,000/month and expires on March 31, 2020. The Company is more likely than not to renew this lease and is not obligated to renew the lease. The office lease is insignificant to the financial presentation of the Company, therefore, it is not shown on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has adopted the modified retrospective approach therefore the Company has no plans of restating prior periods and that there is no asset or liability currently.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

Land

 

Upon purchasing land, the value is recorded at the purchase price or fair value, whichever is more appropriate. Costs incurred to prepare the land for the intended purpose are also capitalized in the recorded cost of the land. No amortization or depreciation is taken on land. However, the land is reviewed by management at least once per year to ascertain if a further analysis is necessary for any potential impairments.

 

Water Rights and Infrastructure

 

The Company has acquired both direct flow water rights and water storage rights. It has obtained water rights through the purchase of shares in a mutual ditch company, which it accomplished through its purchase of shares in HCIC, or through the purchase of an entity holding water rights, which it effected through its purchase of a membership interest of Orlando. The Company may also acquire water rights through outright purchase. In all cases, such rights are recognized under decrees of the Colorado water court and administered under the jurisdiction of the Office of the State Engineer.

 

  18  
 

 

Upon purchasing water rights, the value is recorded at our purchase price. If a majority interest is acquired in a company holding water assets (potentially with other assets including water delivery infrastructure, right of ways, and land), the Company determines the fair value of the assets. To assist with the valuation, the Company may consider reports from a third-party valuation firm. If the value of the water rights is greater than what the Company paid then a bargain purchase gain is recognized. If the value of the water assets are less than what the Company paid then goodwill is recognized.

 

Subsequent to purchase, management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets, and if the carrying value is in excess of fair market value, the Company will establish an impairment allowance. Currently, there are no impairments on the Company’s land and water shares. No amortization or depreciation is taken on the water rights.

 

Gain on Disposal of Assets

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, we sold sub-divided, unimproved lots of land located in El Paso County Colorado and recognized a gain of $-0- and $80,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized approximately $19,000 gain from sale of equipment.

NOTE 5 – Information on Business Segments

 

We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered. Currently, we focus on the Farms and Water business with Two Rivers Water & Farming Company as the Parent company. Therefore, we report our segments by these lines of businesses: Farms and Water. Water contains our Water Business (HCIC and Orlando). Our Parent category is not a separate reportable operating segment. Segment allocations may differ from those on the face of the income statement. In 2017, the prior farming operations were discontinued; however, we continue to report with a Farming Business since we are expanding our farming business in 2019.

 

In the following tables of financial data, the total of the operating results of these business segments is reconciled, as appropriate, to the corresponding consolidated amount. There are some corporate expenses that were not allocated to the business segments, and these expenses are contained in the “Total Operating Expenses” under Parent.

 

Operating results for each of the segments of the Company are as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three Months Ended March 31, 2019     Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Two Rivers recognized $373,000 in stock based compensation to its employees and directors.

 

NOTE 7 – GOING CONCERN

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated significant revenues and has a net loss of $703,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Actual cash consumed from our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $63,000. At March 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $20,120,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $95,157,000, respectively. The HCIC seller carry back debt are in technical default.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The following paragraphs describe management’s plans to mitigate.

 

Since March 31, 2019 to May 10, 2019 the Company has collected the following amounts:

 

  $100,000 from Investors Fiduciary, and
  $47,000 from a closing of two lots of our El Paso land properties.

 

We are in the process of securing additional debt financing on the land and water assets that we own that are unencumbered and from our potential strategic partners.

 

Additionally, we continue to reduce our general and administrative expenses and cash required for our operations.

 

Management Plans

 

The Company has open discussions with a group of potential strategic investors that include Vaxa, Ekstrak Labs, and Gramz to provide additional working capital.

 

21
 

 

We believe that the actions discussed above are probable of occurring and mitigating the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results. We believe the actions will satisfy our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity, including the availability of additional financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. There is, however, no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital through any type of offering on terms acceptable to the Company, as existing cash on hand will be insufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months.

 

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

GrowCo $4M Notes Guaranty

 

During the period ended December 31, 2015, GrowCo issued $4,000,000 in secured promissory notes to 17 individual investors. The notes have a security interest in the land, water and improvements on the 40 acres where GrowCo Partners 1 has its greenhouse and associated warehouse. The notes pay 22.5% in annual interest, with interest paid monthly, and are due April 1, 2020. GrowCo cannot prepay the notes; however, noteholders have the right to call the notes at the first anniversary, or thereafter, of each note with a 60-day notice to the Company. Due to the past due interest owed to the secured $4M Note holders, these notes are in technical default.

 

On January 19, 2018, Blue & Green, LLC (“Blue Green”) filed a complaint against GrowCo claiming a default on payments by GrowCo to Blue Green under the terms of the $4 million GrowCo $2,115,000 promissory note held by Blue Green. The complaint requested immediate payment of the note, back due interest in excess of $300,000, and attorney fees.

 

Even though the Company no longer consolidates GrowCo and GrowCo’s related entities into the Company’s financials (see above Note 2 – Principals of Consolidation), under ASC 460-10-05, Management has determined that the Company is a guarantor of the $4M Secured Notes. The Company did not sign these notes as a guarantor but has provided collateral owned by the Company with a recent appraised value of $2,359,000. Since Two Rivers’ Management desires to present a conservative representation of its financial information it has determined to set the probability of collection against its collateral at 100% of the recent appraised value. The Company has recorded a contingent liability of $2,359,000 and offset this amount as an increase in the Company’s investment in GCP1 (ASC 460-10-55-23c).

 

Operating Leases

 

In January 2016, the Company entered into a new lease with the Colorado Center in Denver Colorado for the corporate headquarters. The space is 1,775 square feet and monthly payments of $3,900, with minor escalations and common area maintenance charges. The lease terminated on June 30, 2018. On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement with our related party McGrow for these office facilities. McGrow did not fulfill its sub-lease agreement. In 2018, Two Rivers paid Colorado Center $24,000 as a penalty for early lease termination.

 

In February 2017, we entered into a new lease with Parker Road Campus, LLC in Aurora, Colorado, for our corporate headquarters. This space is 1,554 square feet and monthly payments of $2,201 which began on April 1, 2017. The lease terminates on March 31, 2020. The amounts due at the base rate are as follows:

 

Period   Amount Due  
2019   $ 28,000  
2020   $ 7,000  
2021     -  

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019. The Company only has one lease in effect; its office lease located in Aurora Colorado. The lease rate is less than $3,000/month and expires on March 31, 2020. The Company is more likely than not to renew this lease and is not obligated to renew the lease. The office lease is insignificant to the financial presentation of the Company, therefore, it is not shown on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has adopted the modified retrospective approach therefore the Company has no plans of restating prior periods and that there is no asset or liability currently.

Defined Contribution Plan

 

Two Rivers does not have a defined contribution plan.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Wayne Harding, as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The initial term of the contract was one year, which renews automatically for successive one-year terms unless and until either party delivers notice of termination within 30 days of the expiration of the then current term. The original employment agreement was modified in 2017.

 

The Board determines annual incentive compensation at the Board’s sole discretion. If there is a change of control, Mr. Harding is entitled to an accelerated option vesting.

 

Prior Board of Directors Litigation

 

On August 8, 2017, a summons was issued in the Arapahoe County District Court on behalf of former board members Dennis Channer Rockey Wells and John Stroh demanding the Company pay $139,000 in attorneys’ fees owed to Ryley Carlock & Applewhite (“RCA”) for services rendered to the former board members at their behest while members of the board. The Company has agreed to pay $139,000 to RCA on behalf of Channer, Wells and Stroh. The $139,000 is included in our accounts payable on the balance sheet.

 

DFP Litigation

 

On October 18, 2017, at the Company filed a lawsuit against former employees of the its DFP farming operation for alleged theft. We are in the process of gathering evidence of the theft and setting a court hearing date. A former employee of DFP has filed a counter claim against the Company, which amount is immaterial. Management believes that claims against former employees are in excess of any counter claims.

 

State of Colorado Litigation

 

Two Rivers, the State of Colorado (Office of the State Engineer and the local Division Engineer), and neighboring water rights holders have been involved in litigation concerning water rights and claims by the State concerning an existing dam in Huerfano County, Colorado, and a demand by the State to breach the dam structure. ( Two Rivers Water and Farming Co. vs. Welton Land and Water Co ., (Pueblo Water Court)). As part of the litigation, Two Rivers has sought to have certain water rights demands by the neighboring water rights holders deemed wasteful. In the quarter ending March 31, 2016, Two Rivers entered into a stipulation agreement with the State, settling the State’s claims, whereby Two Rivers agreed to take the existing dam structure down to the sediment level. Two Rivers was able to empty all the water in the Dam, but it was not be able to meet the requirements of the stipulation agreement by March 31, in part due to lack of capital. On April 3, 2018, Two Rivers was notified that the State had filed a motion for the issuance of a contempt of court citation based upon its failure to comply with the consent decree by March 31, 2018.

 

The State of Colorado also sued Mr. Harding (current CEO and acting CFO), the prior CFO, and the former directors of Two Rivers, former director and CEO John McKowen who had executed the agreement with the State for contempt for their failure to compel Two Rivers to carry out its obligations under the 2016 agreement. The five independent directors of Two Rivers resigned in November 2018. The case against Two Rivers and all the individuals is currently scheduled for trial starting October 28, 2019. The Company has accrued $1,800,000 as a liability to cover the cost of deconstruction and penalties and fines.

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, such as statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business operations. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views and expectations based largely upon the information currently available to us and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the risks described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. By making these forward-looking statements, we do not undertake to update them in any manner except as may be required by our disclosure obligations in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Federal securities laws. Our actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Our core business is the development of our water assets.

 

Current Rights Holdings

 

In Colorado it is important to have both surface and storage rights, of which we have both. To date, we have acquired, managed and used our water assets principally for use in irrigation, to increase the value and yield of our farmland. While the majority of our assets relate to water, our efforts have focused on our farmland and, more recently, our marijuana greenhouse projects.

 

We own the following surface water rights:

  

Structure   Elevation   Priority No.     Appropriation Date   Consumptive Use   Decreed Amount
Butte Valley Ditch   5,909 ft     1     5/15/1862   360 A.F.   1.2 cfs
Butte Valley Ditch         9     5/15/1865       1.8 cfs
Butte Valley Ditch         86     5/15/1886       3.0 cfs
Butte Valley Ditch         111     5/15/1886       3.0 cfs
Robert Rice Ditch   5,725 ft     19     3/01/1867   131 A.F.   3.0 cfs
Orlando Canal No. 3   5,911 ft           10/19/1906        
Huerfano Valley Ditch   4,894 ft     120     2/2/1888   2,891 A.F.   42.0 cfs
Huerfano Valley Ditch         342     5/1/1905       18.0 cfs

 

“Consumptive use” is the term for the portion of a water diversion right that is actually consumed by its beneficial use. Where the beneficial use is agricultural irrigation, consumptive use represents the amount of water consumed by the irrigated crop or evaporated on the farm. After deducting consumptive use from the amount of water diverted and applied to irrigation, the remainder is described as “return flow” to the system. Such return flows are generally subject to appropriation downstream. Only the consumptive use portion of a given water right is subject to transfer (that is, a change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use). Therefore, water rights are often assigned monetary value based on the consumptive use portion. Although consumptive use varies by crop, rainfall, temperature and other factors, in southeastern Colorado, crops generally consume about two acre-feet of applied water for each acre planted, depending on the crops planted. In order to provide that amount of consumptive use water, an irrigator must generally apply three acre-feet of water (allowing for predictable return flow equal to about one-third of the applied water). We measure our water rights both in terms of the amount of the diversion or storage right, as the case may be, but also in terms of the historic consumptive use.

The following table presents our holdings of storage water rights:

 

    Elevation     Priority No.     Appropriation Date   Average Annual Yield (A.F.)     Decreed Amount (A.F.)     Estimate of  Current  Effective  Storage (A.F.)  
Huerfano Valley Reservoir     4,702 ft       6     2/2/1888     1,424       2,017       1,000  
Cucharas Valley Reservoir     5,570 ft       66     3/14/1906     3,055       31,956       Current no-fill restriction*  
Cucharas Valley Reservoir**     5,705 ft       66 c**   3/14/1906             34,404          
Orlando Reservoir # 2     5,911 ft       349     12/14/1905     1,800       3,110       1,500  

 

* See State of Colorado litigation.
** This is a conditional right while the engineering and construction of structures are completed to perfect a water right, in this case to physically store the water. The conditional right establishes a seniority date but allows time for completion of the project. Conditional rights are reviewed every six years by the water court to confirm that progress is being made on the effort to perfect the right. When a conditional water right is perfected, which can be done incrementally in the case of storage, the water right becomes absolute. In addition, the Cucharas Valley Reservoir has Conditional rights to 34,404 A.F. of additional storage.

 

New Strategic Initiative

 

Based on findings from our water task force, we believe we have several opportunities to capitalize on water assets that we currently own or can acquire, in order to address serious storage and supply challenges faced by municipalities, ranches, farmlands and other commercial enterprises in the Arkansas River Basin. In order to address these opportunities, we have identified the following:

 

  We will seek to address the need for municipal water storage.
  We believe there are a variety of opportunities to lease, both short term and long term, our water assets.
  We have identified underutilized land and water that we own that could be used to expand our irrigated farming operations.
  In January 2011, we entered into a water supply agreement to supply water resources for real estate development in Huerfano County, Colorado.
  Expansion of hemp farming on our irrigated farmland, either as an operator or with a crop share arrangement.

 

In order to implement this new initiative, additional capital is required. We have been in discussions with numerous providers of capital in a form of new debt, equity, a strategic operational relationship, or a combination of different capital vehicles. Once completed, revenue is anticipated via the leasing of water storage, leasing of water to high value crop producers (e.g. hemp and marijuana growers), and sale of water via our water supply agreement at $6,500 per tap, with approximately 3 taps per acre foot.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019, compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded revenues of approximately $14,000, compared to approximately $59,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The decrease of $45,000 was due to $52,000 from our greenhouse operations, which are no longer consolidated.

 

Operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $464,000 and $870,000, respectively. The decrease of $406,000 was primarily due to the Company no longer consolidating the operating expenses from GrowCo.

 

26
 

 

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $247,000 and $1,291,000 respectively. The decrease of $1,044,000 is mostly due to the decrease of interest expense of $1,169,000 due to the Company no longer consolidating the GrowCo.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a loss from continuing operations of $697,000 and $2,102,000, respectively.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized preferred distributions of approximately $6,000 and $498,000. The reduction is due to the Company, effective July 2018, no longer recording an accrual for the TR Captial’s preferred distribution.

 

As the result of the foregoing, the net loss attributed to our common shareholders, after recognizing preferred distributions and income attributed to non-controlling interest, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $703,000, compared to a loss of $2,217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Resources

 

We have expanded our operations relying on various funding mechanisms, including debt, convertible debt and equity capital. Since inception, we have raised and invested over $81 million to acquire, improve, integrate farm/water assets, launch related businesses, and support operations.

 

We believe with the anticipated influx of additional capital from strategic partners we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. In January and February 2019, the Company engaged in discussions with respect to strategic alternatives that would, among other things, strengthen and expand our business operations and enable the Company to raise additional capital. As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement on February 21, 2019, that facilitated the Company’s receipt of working capital and provide strategic, vertically integrated hemp-focused businesses.

 

Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the expansion of water projects and expansion of our greenhouse development. To the extent our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to affect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies and products. If additional funding is required, we may not be able to affect an equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 

We historically have funded our operations primarily from the following sources:

 

  proceeds of private placements of equity, equity-related and debt securities of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company and subsidiaries;
  cash flow generated from operations; and
  loans and lines of credit.

 

At the present time we have no available line or letters of credit.

 

Cash flow from operations has not historically been sufficient to sustain our operations without the above additional sources of capital. As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,000. Cash flow consumed by our operating activities totaled approximately $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to operating activities consuming approximately $344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately $66,000 in current assets and approximately $20,186,000 in current liabilities. A large portion of the current liabilities of $7,155,000 is from the HCIC seller carry back notes, some of which were due June 30, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, we are in default on the HCIC note payments. As a result, the entire amount of the notes has been classified as current. While there is no assurance, management believes it will be successful in restructuring these notes and bring them current. Currently the Company is working with an outside party to purchase the HCIC notes and restructure the debt.

 

27
 

 

Cash used by investing activities was approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to cash used by investing activities of approximately $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Cash produced in financing activities was approximately $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a production of cash of approximately $388,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we completed our Powderhorn financing and reduced $176,000 in principal on our existing debt.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results from operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our preparation of such condensed consolidated financial statements and this Form 10-Q requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments may affect the application of our revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

We have acquired water shares in Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company, which is considered an intangible asset and shown on our balance sheet as part of “Water assets.” Currently, these shares are recorded at purchase price less our pro rata share of the negative net worth in HCIC Holdings, LLC. Management evaluates the carrying value, and if necessary, will establish an impairment of value to reflect current fair market value. Currently, there are no impairments on the water shares.

 

Impairment Policy

 

At least once every year, management examines all of our assets for proper valuation and to determine if an impairment is necessary. In terms of real estate owned, this impairment examination also includes the accumulated depreciation. Management examines market valuations and if an additional impairment is necessary for lower of cost or market, then an impairment charge is recorded.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and change in the market values of our real estate properties and water assets. Because we had no market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2019, it was determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosures Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, comprised of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), (presently the same person fills both officer roles), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO and CFO and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended March 31, 2019.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. “Internal control over financial reporting” is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company;
     
  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of a company; and
     
  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based upon our evaluation of internal controls, the Company’s management determined that the Company’s controls over financial reporting were not adequate to ensure complex accounting calculations were performed correctly. As such, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures contain a material weakness as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the material weaknesses identified, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. While our internal controls are established and followed, it is clear by the identified weaknesses that they were not operating as they should be. Management believes that this was the case due to our limited staff along with time constraints and staff turnover. However, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is also our Principal Accounting Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

The remediation effort outlined below is intended to address the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

Once significant additional capital is raised, we plan to hire a qualified Chief Financial Officer. A short-term task of the new CFO will be to do a formal assessment of our internal controls.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enacted into law in July 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act provides smaller public companies and debt-only issuers with a permanent exemption from the requirement to obtain an external audit on the effectiveness of internal financial reporting controls provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are a smaller reporting company and are eligible for this exemption under the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Effective February 1, 2018, William Gregorak, our Chief Financial Officer, resigned with no disputes with our company. As the result of Mr. Gregorak’s resignation, we have employed an external accountant to assist with preparation of our consolidated financial statements commencing with the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On April 1, 2019, we hired a contract financial consultant to evaluate our internal controls and prepare processes to strengthen our internal controls.

 

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the facts described above and employ any additional tools and resources deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

During 2018, the Company settled a lawsuit brought by a prior tenant of the GrowCo Partners 1, LLC greenhouse, Suncanna, LLC. The Company paid $50,000 to settle the Suncanna legal action.

 

Two Rivers, the State of Colorado (Office of the State Engineer and the local Division Engineer), and neighboring water rights holders have been involved in litigation concerning water rights and claims by the State concerning an existing dam in Huerfano County, Colorado, and a demand by the State to breach the dam structure. ( Two Rivers Water and Farming Co. vs. Welton Land and Water Co ., (Pueblo Water Court)). As part of the litigation, Two Rivers has sought to have certain water rights demands by the neighboring water rights holders deemed wasteful. In the quarter ending March 31, 2016, Two Rivers entered into a stipulation agreement with the State, settling the State’s claims, whereby Two Rivers agreed to take the existing dam structure down to the sediment level. Two Rivers was able to empty all the water in the Dam, but it was not be able to meet the requirements of the stipulation agreement by March 31, in part due to lack of capital. On April 3, 2018, Two Rivers was notified that the State had filed a motion for the issuance of a contempt of court citation based upon its failure to comply with the consent decree by March 31, 2018.

 

The State of Colorado also sued Mr. Harding (current CEO and acting CFO), the prior CFO, and the former directors of Two Rivers, former director and CEO John McKowen who had executed the agreement with the State for contempt for their failure to compel Two Rivers to carry out its obligations under the 2016 agreement. The five independent directors of Two Rivers resigned in November 2018. The case against Two Rivers and all the individuals is currently scheduled for trial starting October 28, 2019. The Company has accrued $1,800,000 as a liability to cover the cost of deconstruction and penalties and fines.

 

On August 8, 2017, a summons was issued in the Arapahoe County District Court on behalf of former board members Dennis Channer, Rockey Wells and John Stroh demanding Two Rivers pay $139,000 in attorneys’ fees owed to Ryley Carlock & Applewhite (“RCA”) for services rendered to the former board members at their behest while members of the board. The $139,000 is included in our accounts payable on the balance sheet. At present, the mater has been settled pending payments by Two Rivers to RCA.

 

On October 18, 2017, at the Company filed a lawsuit against former employees of the its DFP farming operation for alleged theft. We are in the process of gathering evidence of the theft and setting a court hearing date. A former employee of DFP has filed a counter claim against the Company, which amount is immaterial. Management believes that claims against former employees are in excess of any counter claims. A trial has been set for November 2019.

 

On January 19, 2018 Blue & Green, LLC (“Blue Green”) filed a complaint against GrowCo, Inc. claiming a default on payments by GrowCo to Blue Green under the terms of the GrowCo $2,115,000 promissory note held by Blue Green. The complaint is requesting immediate payment of the note, back due interest in excess of $300,000, and attorney fees. The Blue Green note is also secured by certain water and land property owned by Two Rivers. As a result of Blue Green’s action, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $2,359,000, which represents a current appraisal of the assets pledged by the Company.
