Explanatory
Note
This Amendment No.
1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017
originally filed on March 28, 2018 (the “Original
Filing”) by GrowLife, Inc. (the “Company”). The
Company is filing this Amendment to correct the Auditor's Report
not being in compliance with AS 3101, The Auditor’s Report on an Audit of
Financial Statements When the Auditor Expresses an Unqualified
Opinion, included in the Original
Filing.
Except as described
above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The
Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original
Filing, the Company has not updated the disclosures contained
therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent
to the filing of the Original Filing.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
GrowLife, Inc. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit,
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to
as the ‘financial statements’). In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of GrowLife,
Inc. at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has sustained a net loss from operations and has an
accumulated deficit since inception. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are
also described in Note 2.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
