ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
Our Corporate History and Background
 
We were incorporated as Private Secretary, Inc. on July 22, 2008 in the State of Nevada. From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of GrowOp Technology, the principal business of the Company originally was to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through VoIP technology. On January 27, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Terra Tech Corp. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. As a result of the merger with GrowOp Technology, on February 9, 2012 we ceased our prior operations and we are now a holding company and our wholly owned subsidiary engages in the design, marketing and sale of hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture.
 
Reverse Acquisition of GrowOp Technology
 
On February 9, 2012, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a reverse-triangular merger with GrowOp Technology whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowOp Technology in exchange for (i) 33,998,520 shares of our common stock, (ii) 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, and 14,750,000 shares of to-be-created Series B Preferred Stock , each share of which shall be convertible into 5.38425537 shares of common stock , which represents approximately 50.3% of our total shares outstanding, assuming the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock), immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, GrowOp Technology became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
The merger transaction with GrowOp Technology was treated as a reverse acquisition, with GrowOp Technology as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Form S-1 to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of GrowOp Technology.

Offer and sale of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures
 
On March 22, 2013, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we raised $825,000 in a private placement financing (the “Offering”).

Share Exchange Agreement with Edible Garden Corp.
 
On April 23, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Edible Garden”), and the holders of common stock of Edible Garden. The principle holders of the common stock of Edible Garden consisted of Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, each of whom held 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Additionally, Beverly Willekes and David VandeVrede each held 4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede, David VandeVrede and Beverly Willekes are siblings. Dan VandeVrede is the father of the five siblings.
 
Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, our majority shareholder, and and officer and director, offered and sold 7,650,000 of her 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, Beverly Willekes, and David VandeVrede (collectively, the “Edible Garden Shareholders”), each of whom acquired the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro-rata basis, based on their respective parentage equity interest in Edible Garden immediately prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder, on a 1-for-5.384325537 basis, into shares of common stock and has voting rights equal to 100 shares of common stock. The 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 36,344,198 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 675,000,000 shares of common stock. The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company and sale of the 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is that Edible Garden Shareholders now hold approximately 25.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and approximately 43.3% of the voting power of the Company. Articles of Exchange, consummating the share exchange, were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013.
 
As a result of the share exchange Edible Garden is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Edible Garden is a retailer seller of its line of locally grown hydroponic produce, which is distributed throughout the Northeast United States. Edible Garden, a premier brand of sustainably grown produce, has rapidly expanded its product availability from just over 100 retail stores to covering close to 400 retailers throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania in less than a year. The Company believes that this rapid expansion has been due to consumers demanding fresher produce grown locally using environmentally sustainable methods.
 
Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Hanover Holdings
 
 On April 29, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 26, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hanover Holdings I, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Investor”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Investor is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) worth of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Shares”), over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement.
 
From time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement, commencing on the trading day immediately following the date on which the initial registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as further discussed below, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide the Investor with draw down notices (each, a “Draw Down Notice”) to purchase a specified dollar amount of the Shares (the “Draw Down Amount”) over a 10 consecutive trading day period, commencing on the trading day specified in the applicable Draw Down Notice (the “Pricing Period”), with each draw down subject to the limitations discussed below. The maximum amount of Shares requested to be purchased pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice cannot exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice (the “Maximum Draw Down Amount”).
 
 
6

 
 
Once presented with a Draw Down Notice, the Investor is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount on each trading day during the applicable Pricing Period on which the daily volume weighted average price for our common stock (the “VWAP”) equals or exceeds a floor price determined by the Company for such draw down (the “Floor Price”). If the VWAP falls below the applicable Floor Price on any trading day during the applicable Pricing Period, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor will not be required to purchase the pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount allocated to that trading day. The per share purchase price for the Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice shall be equal to 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the lowest VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during the applicable Pricing Period; provided, however, that if the VWAP does not equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price for at least five trading days during the applicable Pricing Period, then the per share purchase price shall be equal to 92.5% of the arithmetic average of all VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during such Pricing Period. Each purchase pursuant to a draw down shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Company is prohibited from issuing a Draw Down Notice if (i) the amount requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase an aggregate dollar value of Shares that would exceed the Total Commitment, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which would result in beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder). The Company cannot make more than one draw down in any Pricing Period and must allow 24 hours to elapse between the completion of the settlement of any one draw down and the commencement of a Pricing Period for any other draw down.
 
If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the shares to the Investor on the applicable settlement date, and such failure continues for 10 trading days, the Company agreed to pay the Investor, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 2.0% of the purchase price of such shares for each 30-day period the shares are not delivered, plus accrued interest.
 
Additionally, the Company paid to the Investor a commitment fee equal to $125,000 (or 2.5 % of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) in the form of 595,239 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Commitment Shares”), calculated at a price equal to $0.21 per share. The Initial Commitment Shares are registered for resale and being offered under this Prospectus.
 
 The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Investor and its affiliates in the event that the Investor incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties under the Purchase Agreement or the other related transaction documents or any action instituted against the Investor or its affiliates due to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, subject to certain limitations.
 
The Company agreed to pay up to $15,000 of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documentation.

Registration Rights Agreement with Hanover Holdings
 
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, on April 29, 2013, the Company and the Investor also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file an initial registration statement (“Registration Statement”) with the Commission to register an agreed upon number of Shares, on or prior to April 29, 2013 (the “Filing Deadline”) and have it declared effective at the earlier of (A) the 90th calendar day after the earlier of (1) the Filing Deadline and (2) the date of which such initial Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and (B) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
 
 If at any time all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are not covered by the initial Registration Statement, the Company has agreed to file with the Commission one or more additional Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable filing deadline for such additional Registration Statements as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Investor from certain liabilities and fees and expenses of the Investor incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Investor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers and persons who control the Company against certain liabilities that may be based upon written information furnished by the Investor to the Company for inclusion in a registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

On May 2, 2013, Terra Tech completed the acquisition of 5 acres of greenhouse structure. The structure was shipped and delivered to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Edible Garden Corp. (“Edible Garden”), at its Belvedere, New Jersey Location. Construction and foundation setting have begun in preparation for the assembly of the facility. The Company anticipates to be completed with the build by year-end. The Company plans to finance the build with a combination of debt and equity financing. The facility, at maximum production, can produce up to 25,000 plants per week, per acre, operating 52 weeks a year at an average sale price of $1.55 per plant. The Company believes that at full production, the facility is capable of producing up to $10 million in annual sales.
 
While we own the actual greenhouse structure, we lease the land on which the greenhouse structure is being assembled. The land is being leased from David and Gerda VandeVrede, who are parents to one of our directors, Ken VandeVrede, three of his siblings, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, all of whom are affiliates of the Company. The lease is for a term of 24 months, at a cost of $13,000 per month, and terminates on December 31, 2016.

Under the letter agreement, Edible Garden has the right to purchase and distribute a majority of Palm Creek’s plant products from Palm Creek for marketing, sale and distribution. Under the agreement, Edible Garden will receive a sales commission of 15% of the selling price of plants sold. The term of the agreement is one year. The Company recently loaned Palm Creek approximately $16,000 to upgrade the facility. The first crop was affected by mold and had to be discarded after cleaning the system. The Company planted a second harvest, which was harvested mid-October. The Company purchased all material from the farm. Palm Creek is currently seeding for Butter Head lettuce, with an anticipated harvest of January 15, 2014.

Overview of GrowOp Technology
 
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, we are a hydroponic equipment design, marketing and sales company headquartered in Irvine, California. We were established in March 2010 and currently operating in Irvine and Oakland, California.
 
GrowOp Technology’s revenue was approximately $573,794 for the period from March 16, 2010 (Inception) to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and $817,724 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. GrowOp Technology’s net loss was approximately $579,986 for the period from March 16, 2010 (Inception) to the year ended December 31, 2010, and its net loss was approximately $2,272,612 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
 
Organization & Subsidiaries
 
We have two operating subsidiaries, GrowOp Technology Ltd. and Edible Garden Corp. We also have one non-operating subsidiary, MediPharm, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, formed on March 19, 2014.
 
Service and Program
 
Terra Tech with its subsidiary GrowOp Technology Ltd. are integrating best of breed hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture. We work closely with expert horticulturists, engineers, and scientists, to develop and manufacture advanced proprietary products for the hydroponic industry. Our portable hydroponic trailers, The Big Bud and Little Bud, are custom fabricated proprietary cultivation systems. In addition, our magnetic ballasts, cultivation tents, digital atmospheric controllers and recycling timers, as well as our line of nutrients, are all proprietary in that they are uniquely marketed under our trade-name or have features designed by us that are unique to our products. Third parties manufacture all of our products, with the exception of the mobile hydroponic units, which are built by us locally. We work closely with these factories to institute the features or changes we want to make them “proprietary” in nature.
 
Our products are utilized by companies, horticulture enthusiasts, local urban farmers, and green house growers. The emerging trend of urban and indoor agriculture has fostered an entrepreneurial push by companies to bring their concept to market. Many of these companies lack the both the intellectual resources and manufacturing capabilities to bring their idea to fruition. That is where Terra Tech is positioned. We have the team and the resources to help bring indoor cultivation designs from concept to production. Our products can be found through specialty retailers throughout the United States.

Our products are interchangeable for all agriculture, medical cannabis included. Seventeen states currently have some form of medical cannabis legalization/decriminalization laws, and we believe that another 10 states will have some form of voting regarding legislation of medical cannabis legalization/decriminalization laws in the next 24 months. Hydroponic equipment, including our line, can be used to cultivate cannabis and we believe that some of our customers are medical cannabis growers. We do not believe that federal or any state laws prohibit us from selling our products to medical cannabis growers.
 
Growing medical marijuana is deemed to be illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act even though such activities may be permissible under state law.
 
A theoretical risk exists that our activities could be deemed to be facilitating the selling or distribution of marijuana in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act, or to constitute aiding or abetting, or being an accessory to, a violation of that Act. We believe, however, that such a risk is relatively low. Federal authorities have not focused their resources on such tangential or secondary violations of the Act, nor have they threatened to do so, with respect to the manufacture or sale of equipment that might be used by medical cannabis gardeners, or with respect to any supplies marketed to participants in the emerging medical cannabis industry. We are unaware of such a broad application of the Controlled Substances Act by federal authorities, and we believe that such an attempted application would be unprecedented.

Marketing Strategy
 
We operate in 2 distinct markets:
 
Commercial AG - Commercial agriculture is beginning to migrate to controlled indoor environments. Every year the US loses significant portions of its fertile agricultural land due to urbanization. In an effort to sustain our population cultivation is moving both indoors as well as vertical. Indoor cultivation allows urban farmers to have multiple harvests throughout the year while maximizing their production of healthy and nutrient dense fruits and vegetables. For example, our research indicates that over 40% of all fresh tomatoes sold in U.S. retail stores are now greenhouse grown. We work with you to help design, develop and manufacture cultivation system which will both maximize you space and mitigate your energy costs. From rooftop/vertical hydroponic and aeroponic systems to custom designed greenhouse management systems Terra Tech is continually developing products and working with strategic partners, like Bayer Crop Sciences, to continually capture market share of this growing industry. We do not have a formal agreement or written contract with Bayer Corp Sciences and have only made sales of certain of our products to Bayer Crop Sciences. We plan to expand our business in this segment by increasing our product lineup as well as our manufacturing capabilities in an effort to keep pace with the growth of the market. We will be budgeting additional capital for R&D as well as hiring a sales force specializing in the commercial market.
 
Retail AG –Through our retail subsidiary GrowOp Technology Ltd . ( www.growopltd.com ) we design and manufacture an advanced and affordable line of horticulture equipment for the discerning grower. We have created a product line of affordable and hi quality hydroponic cultivation equipment for the wholesale market. We intend to continue to add SKU’s as well as sales force to service the blossoming hydroponic retail market. Our intention is to replicate the 12,000 square foot facility we operate out of Oakland, California in other prime markets including Colorado and Michigan. We are budgeting for warehouse space, management as well other general labor to operate these additional facilities.
 
In addition to our organic growth through Terra Tech's commercial manufacturing and GrowOp Technology's retail brand we intend to acquire to accelerate growth. We are focused on well-positioned market participants that have a competitive advantage in their respective segment in addition to generating strong operating cash flow.
 
All of our products listed on www.growopltd.com can be found at retailers around the United States. We have limited selling our retail products directly, and 95% of the sales of our GrowOp brand are done through retailers. All commercial sales are done directly. Currently our retail sales make up over 95% of our total sales.

Edible Garden Subsidiary
 
On April 23, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Edible Garden”), and the holders of common stock of Edible Garden. The principle holders of the common stock of Edible Garden consisted of Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, each of whom held 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Additionally, Beverly Willekes and David VandeVrede each held 4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede, David VandeVrede and Beverly Willekes are siblings. Dan VandeVrede is the father of the five siblings.
 
Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, our majority shareholder, and and officer and director, offered and sold 7,650,000 of her 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, Beverly Willekes, and David VandeVrede (collectively, the “Edible Garden Shareholders”), each of whom acquired the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro-rata basis, based on their respective parentage equity interest in Edible Garden immediately prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder, on a 1-for-5.384325537 basis, into shares of common stock and has voting rights equal to 100 shares of common stock. The 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 36,344,198 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 675,000,000 shares of common stock. The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company and sale of the 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is that Edible Garden Shareholders now hold approximately 25.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and approximately 43.3% of the voting power of the Company. Articles of Exchange, consummating the share exchange, were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013.
 
As a result of the share exchange Edible Garden is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Edible Garden is a retailer seller of its line of locally grown hydroponic produce, which is distributed throughout the Northeast United States. Edible Garden, a premier brand of sustainably grown produce, has rapidly expanded its product availability from just over 100 retail stores to covering close to 400 retailers throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania in less than a year. The Company believes that this rapid expansion has been due to consumers demanding fresher produce grown locally using environmentally sustainable methods.
 
Letter Agreement with Edible Garden
 
On December 2, 2013, Edible Garden Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a letter agreement (the “Heartland Agreement”) with Heartland Growers Inc., of Westfield, Indiana, which operates approximately 30 acres of greenhouse space. Under the terms and conditions of the Heartland Agreement, Heartland will cultivate the full line of Edible Garden produce to be sold throughout the Midwestern United States produce market. Terra Tech will manage the marketing and sales, while Heartland will be responsible for the cultivation, packaging, and shipping of the product for retail sale under the Edible Gardens brand.

Competition
 
Three main manufacturers and distributors currently dominate the market in which we compete: Sunlight Supply, Hydrofarm and BWGS. These companies have been in business for several years, and we estimate they collectively make up over 50% of the market. In addition, there are several smaller distribution companies competing for market share. We believe that pricing is a primary driver in capturing market share, and that offering similar products at discounted pricing helps reduce the barriers to entry. The 3 large retailers have both the size and scope to create significant barriers to entry for smaller companies like Terra Tech. In the commercial market there are several companies that provide agricultural hydroponic equipment to large-scale farmers. These companies are relatively fragmented and generally focus on a few core proprietary items.
 
Growth Strategy
 
Our rollup Strategy:
 
·
Fragmented market consists of smaller scale inefficient manufacturers and distribution companies. With our brand recognition and experienced management team we can maximize productivity, provide economies of scale and increase profitability through our public market vehicle;
·
Acquiring unique products and niche players where barriers to entry are high and margins are robust providing them with a broader outlet for their products; and
·
Second stage-Acquire multiple production facilities to capture the market vertical from manufacturing to production up to retail.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We rely on a combination of trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which are primarily our brand names, product designs and marks. We do not own patents.
 
Government Regulation and Approvals
 
We are not aware of any governmental regulations or approvals required for any of our products.
 
Employees
 
As of the date hereof, we have approximately 2 employees who work full-time.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

On March 29, 2011, Dhar Mann and WeGrow Garden Supply LLC filed an Individual and Corporate Complaint for: 1. Breach of Contract; 2. Fraud; 3. Breach of Fiduciary Duty; and 4. Conversion in the Superior Court of the State of California, Alameda County, File No. RG11568327 (the “Dhar Mann Complaint”), against GrowOp Technology Ltd. alleging, among other things, that Mr. Mann is a 37.5% owner of GrowOp since May 23, 2010 and claiming damages of approximately $2,200,000 in connection with a purported agreement to sell Mr. Mann shares of Common Stock of GrowOp amounting to 37.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of GrowOp. Mr. Mann is also seeking an order from the court prohibiting GrowOp from selling any securities or becoming a public company. GrowOp denies, among other things in the Dhar Mann Complaint, the existence of a purported agreement to sell Mr. Mann shares of Common Stock of GrowOp amounting to 37.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of GrowOp or the damages owed.

GrowOp does not believe this litigation will have a material effect on its business objectives.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
 
We were incorporated as Private Secretary, Inc. on July 22, 2008 in the State of Nevada. From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of GrowOp Technology, the principal business of the Company originally was to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through VoIP technology. On January 27, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Terra Tech Corp. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. As a result of the merger with GrowOp Technology, on February 9, 2012 we ceased our prior operations and we are now a holding company and our wholly owned subsidiary engages in the design, marketing and sale of hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture.

Overview and 2013 Highlights
 
We were incorporated as Private Secretary, Inc. on July 22, 2008 in the State of Nevada. From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of GrowOp Technology, the principal business of the Company originally was to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through VoIP technology. On January 27, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Terra Tech Corp. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. As a result of the merger with GrowOp Technology, on February 9, 2012 we ceased our prior operations and we are now a holding company and our wholly owned subsidiary engages in the design, marketing and sale of hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture.
 
On February 9, 2012, Terra Tech Corp. (formerly named, “Private Secretary, Inc.”), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 9, 2012 (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), by and among the Company, TT Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TT Acquisitions”), and GrowOp Technology Ltd., a Nevada corporation (“GrowOp Technology”).
 
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company sold 33,998,500 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in GrowOp Technology. The effect of the issuance is that GrowOp Technology shareholders now hold approximately 41.46% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Separately, TT Acquisitions merged with GrowOp Technology, with the effect that GrowOp Technology is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Articles of Merger, effecting the merger of GrowOp Technology and TT Acquisitions, were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2012.
 
GrowOp Technology was founded in March 2010, in Oakland, California. GrowOp Technology’s business (now the principal business of Terra Tech) is the integration of best of breed hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture. We work closely with expert horticulturists, engineers, and scientists, to develop and manufacture advanced proprietary products for the hydroponic industry. Our products are utilized by horticulture enthusiasts, local urban farmers, and green house growers. We believe that the emerging trend of urban and indoor agriculture has fostered an entrepreneurial push by companies to bring their concept to market. Many of these companies lack both the intellectual resources and manufacturing capabilities to bring their idea to fruition. That is where Terra Tech is positioned. We have the team and the resources to help bring indoor cultivation designs from concept to production. Our products can be found through specialty retailers throughout the United States.

In addition to cultivation equipment the company acquired Edible Garden Corp in April of 2013.  Edible Garden cultivates and distributes a line of hydroponic and soil grown produce, which is currently distributed to over 600 retail stores throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Florida markets.   The company began construction of a new 5-acre hydroponic cultivation facility in early 2013.  A majority of the capital raised throughout 2013 was utilized to finish the construction of this facility.  Throughout 2013 the company contracted with NB Plants to cultivate their line of produce while they were waiting for the completion of their new greenhouse.  Although we produced significantly higher revenue during the year, we still experienced significant early-stage higher per unit costs inefficiencies during the production ramp from April to December as a result of lower fixed cost absorption, cultivation inefficiencies associated with the initial production ramp and higher logistics costs as our supply chain processes continued to mature.

Marketing and Distribution Agreements
 
On May 7, 2013, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Terra Tech Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into a letter agreement with Gro-Rite Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Gro-Rite") whereby Edible Garden has the right to purchase and distribute a majority of Gro-Rite's plant products from Gro-Rite for marketing, sale and distribution. Under the agreement, Edible Garden will receive a sales commission of up to 10% of the selling price of plants sold.
 
On May 7, 2013, Edible Garden Corp. entered into a letter agreement with NB Plants LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("NB Plants"), whereby Edible Garden has the right to purchase and distribute a majority of NB Plants's plant products from NB Plants for marketing, sale and distribution. Under the agreement, Edible Garden will receive a sales commission of 10% of the selling price of plants sold.

Both Gro-Rite and NB Plants are companies affiliated with Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, all of whom are affiliates of the Company. Additionally, Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede are all directors of the Company.
 
Management Opportunities, Challenges and Risks
 
Our principal focus in 2013 was on the construction of the new 5-acre cultivation facility, rebranding and designing our new product line and contracted with farms throughout the country to cultivate the Edible Garden brand under our conditions and standards.  We successfully commenced the rebranding of our product line and contracting new farms during the second quarter 2013 however, during the second half of 2013 our focus switched to accelerating the construction of the new 5-acre facility.  A significant portion of the company’s time, resources and energy went into financing and completing the project at the expense of furthering our sales efforts.
 
Having completed the majority of our new facility in 2013, we expect produce sales to increase significantly in 2014 as compared with 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company.

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012:
 
Total revenues generated for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $2,125,851 an increase of 285% from the year ended December 31, 2012 which totaled $552,579.  The increase was primarily due to the company’s acquisition of Edible Garden Corp in April 2013 and the continued sales expansion of the Company’s produce line.  At this stage in the Company’s development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.  Gross profits for the year ended December 31, 2013 amounted to $88,918 for a 4% gross margin. Gross profits decreased $11,948 or 12% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $100,866 for the year ended December 31, 2012 with an 18% gross profit margin in 2012. The decrease in gross profits and gross margin is a result of higher revenue from the sale of locally grown hydroponic produce.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,575,898, which included $1,355,990 in non-cash outlays in the form of restricted stock and warrants issued as part of the units to raise capital, the Company realized an operating loss of $3,486,980. Operating losses for 2013 of $3,486,980 were down $2,284,985 or 40% as compared to the 2012 operating loss of $5,771,965. The overall decrease of $4,799,965 was due to the impairment of goodwill in 2012.  The balance was offset by approximately $1,220,590 from the increase in warrants issued due to the capital raises in 2013.  Consulting expenses increased $738,902 due to more consultants being hired in 2013 in association with the new locally grown hydroponic produce business.  In 2013 there was a write-off of obsolete inventory in the amount of $417,667 versus zero in 2012.  Professional fees increased $90,192 in 2013 versus 2012 due to the additional filings made to register the Company’s common stock.

Other income and expense, net totaled $2,659,721 for the year ended December 31, 2013 an increase of 4087% or $2,596,196 as compared to $63,525 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In 2013 there was a loss from derivatives issued with debt greater than the debt carrying value in the amount of $2,054,000 versus zero in 2012.  There was a gain on the fair market valuation of the derivatives in the amount of $673,000 versus zero in 2012.   Interest and financing expense was $1,278,721 in 2013 increased by $1,216,518 from $62,203 in 2012 due to the addition debt issued in 2013.

The net result for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a loss of $6,148,351 or $0.06 per share, compared to a loss of $5,836,369 or $0.08 per share for the prior year. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the private sale of preferred stock and debt securities, private sales of common stock.  The Company’s business operations generally have been financed by debt investments through the sale of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures with accredited investors and equity investments in the common stock of the Company by accredited investors. During the full year of 2013, the Company obtained new debt from the issuance of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures that supplied the funds that were needed to finance operations during the reporting period. The stated rate of interest is 6% while the inputted rate is 60% when giving effect for the conversion feature. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by the Company of $1,757,474. In addition, related parties contributed $17,502 in exchange for an unsecured non-convertible note payable. All debt investments are current and in good standing

At December 31, 2013, we had cash of approximately $26,943 and a working capital deficit of $3,713,641.  Our major cash flows in the year ended December 31, 2013 consisted of cash out-flows of $3,853,587 from operations, including $6,148,350 of net loss, cash outflows of $11,300 from investing activities and a net change from financing activities of $3,875,518, which primarily represented the net proceeds received from issuance of debt, common stock and warrants.  We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the first quarter of 2014. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including loans and sale of common stock.

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the private sale of preferred stock and debt securities, private sales of common stock. At December 31, 2013, we had cash of approximately $26,943 and a working capital deficit of $3,713,641. Our major cash flows in the year ended December 31, 2013 consisted of cash out-flows of $3,853,587 from operations, including $6,148,350 of net loss, cash outflows of $11,300 from investing activities and a net change from financing activities of $3,875,518, which primarily represented the net proceeds received from issuance of debt, common stock and warrants. We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the first quarter of 2014. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including loans and sale of common stock.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
20

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012 there was a reserve of $85,576 against the collection of accounts receivable.
 
Prepaid Inventory
 
Prepaid inventory represents deposits made to foreign manufacturers for purchase orders of specific inventory.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-8 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the underlying lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.
 
 
21

 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Management decided to change the focus of the business in 2011 to designing, manufacturing and selling hydroponic equipment where favorable gross margins are achieved.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.
 
Loss Per Common Share
 
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 therefore the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
Management does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Terra Tech Corporation
Irvine, California
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Terra Tech Corporation (Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. Terra Tech Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Terra Tech Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization

We were incorporated as Private Secretary, Inc. on July 22, 2008 in the State of Nevada. From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of GrowOp Technology, the principal business of the Company originally was to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through VoIP technology. On January 27, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Terra Tech Corp. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market. As a result of the merger with GrowOp Technology, on February 9, 2012 we ceased our prior operations and we are now a holding company and our wholly owned subsidiary engages in the design, marketing and sale of hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture.
 
Recent Developments

On March 23, 2013, Terra Tech Corp. (formerly named, “Private Secretary, Inc.”) (, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Edible Garden”), and the holders of common stock Edible Garden. The share exchange was consummated on April 24, 2013, when Articles of Exchange were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden Corp. The effect of the issuance is that Edible Garden Corp. shareholders now hold outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

On February 9, 2012, Terra Tech Corp. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 9, 2012 (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), by and among the Company, TT Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TT Acquisitions”), and GrowOp Technology Ltd., a Nevada corporation (“GrowOp Technology”).

Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company sold 33,998,500 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in GrowOp Technology. The effect of the issuance is that GrowOp Technology shareholders now hold approximately 41.46% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Separately, TT Acquisitions merged with GrowOp Technology, with the effect that GrowOp Technology is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Articles of Merger, effecting the merger of GrowOp Technology and TT Acquisitions, were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2012.

GrowOp Technology was founded in March 2010, in Oakland, California. GrowOp Technology’s business (now the principal business of Terra Tech) is the integration of best of breed hydroponic equipment with proprietary technology to create sustainable solutions for the cultivation of indoor agriculture. We work closely with expert horticulturists, engineers, and scientists, to develop and manufacture advanced proprietary products for the hydroponic industry. Our products are utilized by horticulture enthusiasts, local urban farmers, and green house growers. We believe that the emerging trend of urban and indoor agriculture has fostered an entrepreneurial push by companies to bring their concept to market. Many of these companies lack both the intellectual resources and manufacturing capabilities to bring their idea to fruition. That is where Terra Tech is positioned. We have the team and the resources to help bring indoor cultivation designs from concept to production. Our products can be found through specialty retailers throughout the United States.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all of the accounts of Terra Tech. These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States for financial information and with the instructions to Form S-1 and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase, including money market mutual funds, short-term
time deposits, and government agency and corporate obligations, are classified as cash and cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable

The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. There was an allowance of $52,000 at December 31, 2013 and $85,576 at December 31, 2012.
 
Prepaid Inventory

Prepaid inventory represents deposits made to foreign manufacturers for purchase orders of specific inventory.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-8 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the underlying lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.

Intangibles

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is December 31. We test intangibles for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for intangibles is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of intangible impairment. We test these intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to current projections of discounted cash flows attributable to the customer list. Any excess carrying value over the amount of discounted cash flows represents the amount of the impairment.
 
Deposits

Deposits are for the purchase of a greenhouse and farm.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.
 
Cost of Goods Sold

Management decided to change the focus of the business in 2011 to designing, manufacturing and selling hydroponic equipment where favorable gross margins are achieved.
 
Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 therefore the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
 
The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
2. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow positive.

However, the Company has incurred net losses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $14.8 million at December 31, 2013. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U. S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

4. SHARE EXCHANGE

On April 24, 2013, the shareholders of the Company entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which its shareholders exchanged common stock of Edible Garden Corp. for common stock of the Company. Under the agreement the Company acquired the customer list. Under the terms of this agreement the Company paid 1,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $212,500.

The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, intangible assets are recorded at fair values as of the date of the transaction. The Company has preliminarily allocated the $212,500 consideration paid to the acquired assets as follows:

Cash
   
100
 
Intangible assets, customer list
   
212,400
 
Fair value acquired
 
$
212,500
 

Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over a 5 year period. Amortization expense was $29,028 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
5. REVERSE MERGER

On February 9, 2012, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction through a merger with GrowOp Technology whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowOp Technology in exchange for 33,998,520 shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 41.4% of our total shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction. As a result of the reverse acquisition, GrowOp Technology became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of GrowOp Technology became our controlling stockholders. The share exchange transaction with GrowOp Technology was treated as a reverse acquisition, with GrowOp Technology as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party.

On February 26, 2012, pursuant the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 14,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Derek Peterson and Amy Almsteier, both of whom are officers and directors of the Company. The Company exchanged the shares for the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by GrowOp Technology.

Purchase Accounting
The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition. In a reverse acquisition, the post-acquisition net assets of the surviving combined company includes the historical cost basis of the net assets of the accounting acquirer (GrowOp Technologies Ltd.) plus the fair value of the net assets of the accounting acquiree (Terra Tech Corp). Further, under the purchase method, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets is allocated to any intangible assets with the remaining excess purchase price over net assets acquired allocated to goodwill.
 
 
F-13

 
 
TERRA TECH CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The fair value of the consideration transferred in the Acquisition was $4,800,000 and was calculated as the number of shares of common stock that GrowOp Technologies Ltd. would have had to issue in order for Terra Tech Corp. shareholders to hold a 58.6% equity interest in the combined Company post-acquisition, multiplied by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock was based on the offering price of the common stock sold in a private placement of share subscriptions which was completed most recently prior to the merger. This price was determined to be the best indication of fair value on that date since the price was based on an arm’s length negotiation with a group consisting of both new and existing investors that had been advised of the pending Acquisition and assumed similar liquidity risk as those investors holding the majority of shares being valued as purchase consideration.

The following table summarizes the Company’s determination of fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities as of the date of acquisition.

The Company performed an impairment test related to goodwill as of the date of the merger and it was determined that goodwill was impaired. At that time, the Company recorded a charge to operations for the amount of the impairment of $4,799,965.
 
6. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of finished goods for the Company’s product lines. Cost-of-goods sold are calculated using the average costing method. Inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor and cost of freight. The Company reviews its inventory periodically to determine net realizable value and considers product upgrades in its periodic review of realizability. The Company writes down inventory, if required, based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes and new product introductions and require estimates that may include uncertain elements. Inventories consist of the following:

TERM OF OFFICE

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our board of directors is currently composed of seven members, one of whom, Steven J. Ross, qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
 
CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.
 
 
27

 
 
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
 
Derek Peterson, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors is the spouse of Amy Almsteier, our Secretary, Treasurer and a Director and significant stockholder.
 
Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede and Steve VandeVrede are brothers. Dan VandeVrede, a beneficial holder of approximately 7.1% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, is the father of Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede and Steve VandeVrede.
 
There are no other family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any other directors or executive officers.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2013, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table lists, as of December 31, 2013, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power. Unless otherwise specified, the address of each of the persons set forth below is in care of the Company, at the address of: 18101 Von Karman, Third Floor, Irvine, California 92612.

In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person, we include any shares of common stock that could be acquired within 60 days of December 31, 2013, by the exercise of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. These shares, however, are not counted in computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

We lease the land in Belvidere, New Jersey, on which our greenhouse structure is being assembled. The land is being leased from David and Gerda VandeVrede, who are parents to one of our directors, Ken VandeVrede, three of his siblings, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, all of whom are affiliates of the Company. The lease began January 1, 2014, the lease rate is $13,000 per month, and the lease expires January 1, 2016.

On April 23, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Edible Garden”), and the holders of common stock of Edible Garden. The principle holders of the common stock of Edible Garden consisted of Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, each of whom held 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Additionally, Beverly Willekes and David VandeVrede each held 4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede, David VandeVrede and Beverly Willekes are siblings. Dan VandeVrede is the father of the five siblings.
 
Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, our majority shareholder, and and officer and director, offered and sold 7,650,000 of her 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, Beverly Willekes, and David VandeVrede (collectively, the “Edible Garden Shareholders”), each of whom acquired the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro-rata basis, based on their respective parentage equity interest in Edible Garden immediately prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder, on a 1-for-5.384325537 basis, into shares of common stock and has voting rights equal to 100 shares of common stock. The 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 41,290,091 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 675,000,000 shares of common stock. The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company and sale of the 7,650,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is that Edible Garden Shareholders now hold approximately 25.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and approximately 43.3% of the voting power of the Company. Articles of Exchange, consummating the share exchange, were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013.
 
As a result of the share exchange Edible Garden is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Pursuant to an Independent Director Agreement dated July 23, 2012 by and between Terra Tech Corp. and Steven J. Ross, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Ross $2,000 per month, commencing immediately following any financing, either debt or equity, in excess of $1,000,000 that the Company receives during his term as a director, and issue to Mr. Ross, an aggregate of 300,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (such payment and issuance, the “Compensation”), one-half (1/2) of the shares to be vested on the date of appointment, and the remaining one-half (1/2) of the shares to be vested on May 31, 2013. The board of directors of the Company reserves the right to change the Compensation from time to time, to take into consideration the responsibilities associated with different committees in setting Compensation levels and to grant additional restricted shares periodically, which may vary from the terms described in this section. If Mr. Ross ceases to serve as a director on the Company’s Board at any time and for any reason prior to a grant date associated with any restricted shares, all restricted shares described in the restricted share agreement that have not been granted as of such time of cessation of services will not be granted. All such cancelled or forfeited restricted shares shall be returned to the Company’s incentive pool.

The Company and Mr. Ross also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with the Company, dated July 23, 2012, whereby the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Ross for claims against him that may arise in connection with the performance of his duties as a director for the Company.
