Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Grow Capital, Inc. ("GCI" or the "Company") (f/k/a Grown Condos, Inc.) was incorporated on October 22, 1999, in the State of Nevada.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, WCS Enterprises, Inc. (“WCS”) is an Oregon limited liability company which was formed on September 9, 2013 with operations beginning in October 2013. WCS is a real estate purchaser, developer and manager of specific use industrial properties providing "Condo" style turn-key aeroponics grow facilities to support cannabis farmers. WCS owns, leases, sells and manages multi- tenant properties so as to reduce the risk of ownership and reduce costs to tenants and owners. WCS currently owns a condominium property in Eagle Point, Oregon (the “Eagle Point Property”).
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Smoke on the Water, Inc. was incorporated on October 21, 2016, in the State of Nevada. Smoke on the Water is focused on operating properties in the RV and campground rental industry and currently owns the Lake Selmac Resort located at 2700 Lakeshore Drive, Selma, Oregon (the “Lake Selmac Property”).
On June 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized capital to 180,000,000 shares, consisting of 175,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Recapitalization”) and to change the name of the Company to “Grow Capital, Inc.” The Company filed articles of amendment with the State of Nevada to effect the aforementioned changes on July 10, 2018 and August 28, 2018, respectively. The Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for the above noted corporate actions on April 8, 2019.
In connection with its name change, the Company has adopted a business plan focused on shifting the Company’s strategy away from the cannabis industry and into the financial technology (“FinTech”) sector and related sectors. In connection with this strategy, the Company has hired a new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and appointed a new chairman of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), all of whom have significant experience in the FinTech sector. The Company intends to acquire FinTech companies with a clear niche and strong leadership and use its experience and understanding of the FinTech sector and access to the public markets to help its acquisitions grow. The Company is currently in the process of identifying suitable acquisitions and completing those acquisitions. In connection with the shift in the Company’s strategy away from the cannabis industry, the Board has determined to divest WCS and Smoke on the Water and is actively marketing each entity. In connection with these efforts, management of the Company has determined it is appropriate to include the operations of WCS in this report as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale (See Note 3). As the Company moves away from the cannabis industry and into financial technology and related sectors, Grow Capital expects to identify suitable acquisitions, complete those acquisitions, and grow those companies. Any potential acquisitions or divestitures remain subject to final agreements, due diligence, and typical closing conditions.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 filed on October 12, 2018. Results of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2019 and any other future periods.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Grow Capital, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCS and Smoke on the Water, as of March 31, 2019. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that it is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events and the effect of the change would be material to the financial statements.
Going Concern
During the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $
377,920
and $
839,856
, respectively, combined with a working capital deficit of approximately $341,000 with approximately $100,000 of cash on hand. The Company believes that as of March 31, 2019 its existing capital resources are not adequate to enable it to fully execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On April 12, 2019, the Company completed a private placement of shares of its common stock (“common
shares”) and raised gross proceeds of $600,000 which were allocated to working capital. These funds were raised for use in the execution of the Company’s shift away from the cannabis industry and towards its new business plan focused on acquisitions in the FinTech sector and other related sectors. As part of this plan, the Company is currently actively marketing WCS and Smoke on the Water for sale (See Note 3).
If the Company fails to sell WCS and Smoke on the Water, generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, the Company may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of its business and expansion plans, and potentially cease operations altogether. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Lease Receivables and deferred rent
Lease receivables are recognized when rents are due, and for the straight-line adjustment to rents over the term of the lease less an allowance for expected uncollectible amounts. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among others, the customer's willingness or ability to pay, the Company's compliance with lease terms, the effect of general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customer. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the payment terms are considered past due. We do not charge interest on past due balances. The Company writes off lease receivables when it determines that they have become uncollectible after all reasonable collection efforts have been made. If we record bad debt expense, the amount is reflected as a component of operating expenses in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, an allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded in the amount of $2,861. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the Company had recorded deferred rent for the straight-line value of rental income of $6,150 as part of assets held for sale.
Investment In and Valuation of Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition (excluding acquisition related expenses), construction costs, and mortgage interest during the period the facilities are under construction and prior to readiness for occupancy, and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life of the assets. Real estate assets, other than land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The estimated useful lives of the Company's real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Land
|
Indefinite
|
Buildings
|
40 years
|
Tenant improvements
|
Lesser of useful life or lease term
|
Intangible lease assets
|
Lease term
|
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:
o
|
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
o
|
use of the real property has taken place or services have been rendered;
|
o
|
the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and
|
o
|
collectability is reasonably assured.
|
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement
– We document all terms of an arrangement in a real property lease signed by the tenant, for leases with a term greater than 30 days, prior to recognizing revenue.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Our real property lease agreements, which are governed by the laws of the state of Oregon, usually are non-cancellable and range from six to thirty-six months with a cash security deposit and personal guarantee required. We account for our leases in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 840,
Leases
, as operating leases. Leases may include escalating rental rates, an option to extend the term of the lease at a fixed rental rate, and an option to purchase the portion of the building being leased at the end of the lease term. Leases may be assigned with our approval. Common area maintenance and water are paid by the Company with the tenant responsible for maintenance, repairs and liability insurance associated with their specific unit within the building. Cash received for purchase options is recorded as deferred option revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These amounts are recorded to revenue upon the exercise of the option by the tenant or the expiration of the unused option.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $217 and $358 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $4,473 and $717 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provides guidance on the use of fair value in accounting and disclosure for assets and liabilities when such accounting and disclosure is called for by other accounting literature. These rules establish a fair value hierarchy for inputs to be used to measure fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 (highest priority), Level 2, and Level 3 (lowest priority).
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the balance sheet date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.
Investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of lease receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates, which constitutes level three inputs.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Share-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Unregistered stock awards are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. For service type awards, share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the entire award. For awards that vest or begin vesting upon achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates the likelihood of satisfaction of the performance condition and recognizes compensation expense when achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable using an accelerated attribution model.
The fair value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant based on key assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term, so long as the option does not contain provisions that require a more complex model to be used.
Convertible debt and beneficial conversion features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
Stock settled debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the Company had recorded within convertible notes, net of discount, the amount of $0 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes (See Note 6).
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company monitors its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles for indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of affected assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets is less than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If such assets are found not to be recoverable, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of the assets, with the fair value generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the assets.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is not more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

Net (loss) income per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses from operations.
All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our earnings (loss) per share calculations. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our earnings (loss) per share calculations.
The following table sets forth the number of dilutive shares as of March 31, 2019:

Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to eliminate, integrate, update or modify certain of its disclosure requirements. The amendments are part of the SEC’s efforts to improve disclosure effectiveness and were focused on eliminating disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued and their potential effect on our financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Assets Held for Sale
(1)
Assets in Oregon within the Pioneer Business Park
In April 2016, the Company purchased a parcel of land near Eugene, Oregon within the Pioneer Business Park (the “Pioneer Property”) from a private seller for the amount of $326,629 plus closing costs. As part of the purchase, the Seller financed through a note payable $267,129 of the purchase price (See Note 6). The intent of the Company was to build an industrial condominium building on the parcel, akin to the Eagle Point Property. The Company was unable to secure additional funding via debt or equity and due to the hostility of the local county government towards the intended operations of the tenants, and consequently, the Company abandoned those plans in late calendar 2017.
In December 2017, the Company made the decision to put the Pioneer Property up for sale, retained a sales agent and listed the Pioneer Property for sale at a purchase price of $399,000. The financial statements show the value of the land and the related mortgage under Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Held for Sale on the balance sheet, respectively. In September 2018, the Company completed the sale of the Pioneer Property for a gross sales price of $349,000 (See Note 6). After payment of all closing costs, the Company recorded a loss on sale of approximately $5,400.

WCS
In the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company began to actively market WCS for sale and has begun negotiations with certain parties for the sale of WCS, subject to diligence, negotiation of a purchase agreement and fulfillment of typical closing conditions. In connection with these efforts, management has determined that it is appropriate to classify WCS as Assets Held for Sale.
(2)
Smoke on the Water
In the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company began to actively market Smoke on the Water for sale, however, based on the current status of the Company’s efforts to sell Smoke on the Water, management has determined that its efforts to sell Smoke on the Water do not yet meet the requirements for Smoke on the Water to be classified as Assets Held for Sale due to a lack of a definitive plan for the sale of the entity with a probable price and a likely completion over the following 12 months.

Note 6 – Mortgages Payable
In 2013, upon the acquisition of the Eagle Point Property, WCS assumed the sellers’ mortgage from People’s Bank of Commerce, NA (“People’s Bank”). The original principal amount of the mortgage was $930,220, had an interest rate equal to People’s Bank’s prime rate plus 1.75%, required 58 monthly payments of $5,946 and required a balloon payment of $802,294 on June 28, 2018, the maturity date. The mortgage was secured by liens against certain properties owned by the seller. In August 2018, the Company paid the mortgage in full. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the balance on the mortgage was $0 and $797,476, respectively.
In 2013, after the acquisition of the Eagle Point Property, WCS entered into a second mortgage with People’s Bank for the amount of $120,000. The mortgage had an interest rate equal to People’s Bank’s prime rate plus 3%, required 56 monthly payments of $883, and required a balloon payment of $104,329 on October 15, 2018, the maturity date. The mortgage was collateralized by a deed of trust and assignment of rents with the seller and WCS in the amount of $120,000. In August 2018, the Company paid the mortgage in full. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, balance on the mortgage was $0 and $105,235, respectively.

Note 6 – Mortgages Payable (continued)
In April 2016, as more fully described in Note 3, the Company acquired the Pioneer Property and entered into a mortgage with the seller for the amount of $267,129. The mortgage originally had an interest rate of 6% per annum and a maturity date of the earlier of (a) October 1, 2017 or the date construction begins on the condominium building proposed to be built. In October 2017, the Company entered into an amended mortgage by making a principal payment of $15,000 and financing the remaining balance of $252,129. The amended mortgage bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and required interest only monthly payments of $1,261 from November 2017 through June 2018 with the remaining amount due in the form of a final balloon payment in July 2018. As noted above in Note 3, in September 2018, the Company closed on the sale of the parcel of land acquired with financing provided by the mortgage. As a condition of the sale, the mortgage was fully repaid at closing. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the balance on the mortgage was $0 and $250,868, respectively.
In March 2017, as more fully described in Note 3, the Company acquired the Lake Selmac Property. Upon closing, the Company entered into mortgage payable with the seller in the amount of $625,000 with a maturity date of March 6, 2022. The mortgage had an interest rate of 5% per annum covering the monthly payments of $3,355 for the initial 12 months, which increased to 6% per annum for the monthly payments of $3,747 for the following 48 months. Upon maturity, the remaining balance due on the note is required to be paid through a balloon payment. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the balance on the mortgage was $607,553 and $613,848, respectively. The note is unsecured.
Note 7 – Capital Stock
On June 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Recapitalization. As of June 30, 2018, and 2017, the Company's authorized common stock consists of 100,000,000 common shares with par value of $0.001 and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Stock
Share issuances during the nine months ended March 31, 2019:
During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued a total of 2,120,023 unregistered common shares to officers and directors as part of their respective employment and/or board compensation package. The Company valued the issuances made as employment compensation at the closing price of the Company’s stock as traded on the OTCMarkets on the date of grant and the issuances to directors at a discount of 35% to market on the first day of each calendar quarter, and consequently recorded stock-based compensation of $204,100.

The Company valued the issuance at $0.12 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock as traded on the OTCMarkets on the date of grant.
