Quarterly Report
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2012, captioned "Risk Factors."
Overview
On March 21, 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement and the Closing of the transactions occurred on April 5, 2012. At the Closing, (a) MergerCo was merged with and into SGT; (b) SGT became our wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) all SGT shares of common stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock and shares of Series A Preferred Stock. At the Closing, we issued to SGT's former stockholders, in exchange for the 200 shares of SGT's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 157,000,000 shares of our common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
We design and manufacture indoor mini-greenhouses capable of growing almost any herb, vegetable, flower, fruit or terrestrial plant better, stronger and faster than traditional farming methods. Our products ("Phototron Units"), consisting of 21" x 39" units and 21" x 51" units, provide between 18,900 and 36,000 lumens of light. Phototron Units allow users to precisely control what a plant receives, grow crops densely, avoid using pesticides, increase yields and automatically water plants. We also formulate and sell horticultural seeds, mineral nutrient solutions, growing mediums and germination kits to facilitate hydroponic gardening through the use of our Phototron Units, in addition to replacement parts for our Phototron Units to facilitate moderate customization. In addition, through SGT, we manufacture hi-powered LED (Light Emitting Diode) grow light products for indoor horticulture, sold under the brand name "Stealth Grow LED." We provide USA engineered, energy efficient and "green" technology for healthy and abundant indoor gardening. Stealth Grow LED products are available through more than 2,500 hydroponic retailers, and on-line resellers in the USA and Canada. We market our products under the Phototron and Stealth Grow LED brand names.
Historically, we have funded our working capital needs primarily through the sale of Phototron Units, re-order products, the issuance of short and long term promissory notes and the sale of shares of our capital stock.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to June 30, 2011
Revenue and cost of revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our revenue was $208,446, which was $44,402 (17%) less than in the three months ended June 30, 2011. During the most recent quarter, management was focused on completing the reverse merger and integrating its systems, facilities, policies and procedures and developing a new strategic direction for the company. The gross profit margin during the three months ended June 30, 2012, was 44% compared to 29% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and reflects a change in the customer base from lower margin distributors to higher margin sales to retail customers.
Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our general and administrative expenses were $409,190 compared to $108,680 during the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $300,510. During 2011, we were a privately held company and did not incur any of the expense of being a public company. Those expenses include professional fees for legal, accounting, consultants and directors and officers insurance. Additionally, we hired most of Phototron's general, administrative and sales staff; thereby incurring higher wage expense during the current quarter. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will remain at, or near, the current level for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of $1,020,802 compared to $382,863 at December 31, 2011. We have relied on funds generated through operations, through loans and through selling shares of our common stock in a series of private placements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in operations was $281,588 compared to cash used of $55,111 during the same period in the prior year. Those expenses include professional fees for legal, accounting, consultants and directors and officers insurance.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we received $9,825 in cash from our reverse merger with Phototron Holdings, Inc. We had no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, financing activities provided $249,799 of cash consisting of $104,397 of advances from a related party, $120,402 of equity contributions and $25,000 from the issuance of new notes payable. In conjunction with the Merger on April 5, 2012, we issued $500,000 of 6% convertible notes payable to the former note holders of SGT in exchange for the notes previously issued. The notes are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.035 per share. The conversion price is subject to certain adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In the event a dilutive issuance occurs such conversion price would be subject to a "full ratchet" adjustment that generally reduces the conversion price to equal the price in the dilutive issuance, regardless of the size of the dilutive issuance. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these Notes will have a derivative feature and accounted separately from the underlying notes payable.
Unless our operations generate significant revenues and cash flows from operating activities, our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financing, other collaborative agreements and strategic alliances. Our management is actively engaged in seeking additional capital to fund our operations in the short to medium term. We also intend to obtain, where appropriate, increases of the amounts available to us under existing revolving promissory notes. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.
