Overview


We design, source, market and sell the next generation of smokeless electronic cigarettes which are popularly known as “vaping” devices.  We provide a selection of vaping devices and related accessories which we design and source, including our popular “AR Mechanical Mods” and “Limitless Mods”, and we also purchase vaping devices and related accessories from third parties for resale.  We distribute our products nationally and internationally to wholesale customers and retail customers, including through our websites www.vapor-hub.com and www.smokelessdelite.com.  We also market and sell our products through our two retail locations located in southern California.


History of the Company


Vapor Hub International Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 15, 2010 under the name DogInn, Inc. to become a resource for travelers seeking information and resources regarding pet friendly accommodation, services, and products.  Our intention was to improve upon the small number of existing internet offerings in the pet friendly travel space. Unfortunately, we were not able to raise sufficient capital to fund our business development and consequently our management began considering alternative strategies, such as business combinations or acquisitions to create value for our shareholders.


On February 14, 2014, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Vapor Hub, Inc., a California corporation (“Vapor”), Delite Products, Inc., a California corporation (“Delite”) and the shareholders of both companies (the “Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Vapor’s common stock, as well as all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Delite’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by us of 38,000,001 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of both companies.  On March 14, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Vapor and issued all of the 38,000,001 shares to the shareholders of Vapor, who were also the shareholders of Delite.  On March 26, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Delite.


As a result of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, Vapor and Delite became our wholly owned subsidiaries and we now carry on the business of developing, producing, marketing and selling vaping devices and related accessories.  The transaction with Vapor was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (recapitalization) and Vapor was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and us the legal acquirer. The transaction with Delite was accounted for as a business acquisition and we assumed the assets and liabilities of Delite at historical basis as of March 26, 2014 and the activity of Delite was included from that date forward.  In connection with the acquisition of Vapor, we changed our corporate name from Doginn, Inc. to Vapor Hub International Inc. and our stock symbol changed from “DOGI” to “VHUB.”  Upon our acquisition of Vapor, Robin Looban resigned as our sole director, president, secretary, treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and management members from Vapor were appointed to serve as directors and officers of the Company.  On May 18, 2015, Vapor and Delite were merged with and into the Company, ending the separate existences of Vapor and Delite. Prior to our acquisition of Vapor, we existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge.


Our principal executive office is located at 1871 Tapo Street, Simi Valley CA 93063.  The telephone number at our principal executive office is (805) 309-0530.  


Our Products - Vaping Devices


We market our vaping devices as an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes.  Vaping devices (as well as electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes) are battery-powered products that allow users to inhale water vapor instead of the smoke, ash, tar and carbon monoxide associated with traditional cigarettes.  In contrast to e-cigarettes, vaping devices are often precision manufactured from metallic materials and do not look like traditional cigarettes.  Vaping devices, as compared to e-cigarettes, also offer a unique user experience as a result of greater vapor production, enriched taste, and an ability to highly customize a device with different mechanical components and fashionable accessories, including different colors and finishes.  Vaping devices generally consist of three primary components: a battery unit, an atomizer (which includes a heating element), and a tank filled with an “e-liquid,” which e-liquids are available with or without nicotine and in a myriad of flavors.  



5




Battery


Most vaping devices are powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The housing for the battery and electronic circuitry is usually the largest component of a vaping device. It is generally referred to simply as the battery. This unit may contain an electronic airflow sensor for automated operation, or a button for manual operation. A timed cutoff switch (to prevent overheating) and/or a colored LED may also be included. To recharge the batteries, many different types of battery chargers such as AC outlet, car, and USB adaptors are usually available. Some manufacturers also offer a “Portable Charging Case,” or “PCC”, which contains a large rechargeable battery that is then used to charge a smaller battery within the individual vaping device.


Atomizer


The atomizer is a heating element that serves to vaporize the e-liquid so it can be inhaled.  The atomizer contains a filament that degrades over time due to a buildup of sediment, or "burns out" entirely, requiring periodic replacement.  To address atomizer degradation, manufacturers introduced swappable replacement parts.


Tank


The tank is a small, sometimes disposable, plastic container with openings on each end. It generally houses an absorbent, sponge-like material saturated with the e-liquid solution to be vaporized. The mouthpiece is constructed so that the vapor produced can flow past the solution container to reach the user's mouth. When the e-liquid in the tank has been depleted, the user can refill the tank with an e-liquid of their choice.


E-Liquid


Liquids used to produce vapor in vaping devices are sold separately for use in refillable tanks.  Liquids may or may not contain nicotine and are available in differing nicotine concentrations to suit user preferences.  Liquids are available in a myriad of flavors and we offer flavors such as blackberry, krazy kola, blueberry, churro, lemonade, menthol, root beer float and watermelon, as well as proprietary blends we have innovated.  Liquid solution consists of flavoring and/or nicotine dissolved in one or several hygroscopic components, which turns the water in the solution into the smoke-like vapor when heated. The most commonly used hygroscopic components are propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or polyethylene glycol 400.  Our proprietary brands of E-liquids are sourced from an ISO Class 7 certified manufacturer in the USA, which helps ensure their purity and quality.


Device Operation


The above-described components may work in conjunction in an assembled vaping device as follows:


·

User presses button to activate the lithium ion battery.

·

User draws on the vaping device through a mouth piece.

·

The battery charges the atomizer.

·

The atomizer vaporizes the e-liquid.

·

User gets the smoking experience, which includes water vapor in place of smoke.

Product Examples


The following are examples of some of the products that we market and distribute:


EGO Starter Kit For E-Liquid Atomizers:  Our vaping devices are available in kits that contain everything a user needs to begin enjoying their “vaping” experience.   For example, our EGO Starter Kit (pictured below) comes with 2 rechargeable batteries, 2 CE4 atomizers, a tank system, a free carrying case, a USB charger, and a wall charger and is designed for a novice vaping customer.


[form10k06302015002.jpg]


AR Mechanical Mods:  Our patent pending AR Mod (pictured below) replicates the barrel of a traditional AR-15 assault rifle and is targeted to consumers who demand high end technical devices.




7




[form10k06302015003.jpg]



Limitless Mechanical Mods:  Our Limitless Mechanical Mod (pictured below) was developed in August 2014 by our CEO Kyle Winther and our President Jake Perlingos. The Limitless Mechanical Mod allows a consumer to change the look and feel of their device by interchanging sleeves and is available in aluminum, brass, copper, black rhodium plated aluminum and gold plated brass finishes to accommodate market demand.  We market and sell our Limitless Mechanical Mods directly to consumers at prices ranging from $99 to $180 and also sell our Limitless Mechanical Mods through our wholesale distribution channels at prices ranging from $45 to $135.  


[form10k06302015004.jpg]


Binary Premium E-Liquid:  Our Binary Premium e-liquid (pictured below) was developed internally over a period of approximately six months and is currently available in five flavors at a retail price point of approximately $12 per bottle.  To provide consumers with alternatives when reducing nicotine levels, we offer our Binary Premium e-liquid with 0mg, 2.5mg, 5.0mg, 7.5mg, or 10mg of nicotine per bottle. In contrast, it is typical for bottles of e-liquid to be available with the following nicotine levels per bottle:  0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg. To help ensure quality, our Binary Premium e-liquid is manufactured by a third party supplier in an ISO and GMP certified lab with a manufacturing capacity of over 13 million bottles per month.

[form10k06302015005.jpg]


In addition to kits, Mods and E-Liquids, we sell replacement parts including batteries, atomizers, refill cartridges or cartomizers and tanks. We also sell accessories such as charging devices and carrying cases and branded apparel.


Our Business


Sourcing


We use third party contract manufacturers to produce and finish our Mods from facilities primarily located in Southern California.  Our Mods, which are made from a metallic material such as steel, brass or copper, are custom machined to meet our design specifications.  Once machined, unfinished products are delivered to our location in Simi Valley or to a third party service provider to be buffed, polished and to add various treatments and embellishments, such as paint and dog tags.  Finished products are then held in inventory for distribution and sale. In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we relied on one manufacturer to machine all of our Mods.  Although we relied on one manufacturer to machine our Mods during our last fiscal year, we believe manufacturing capacity is readily available to meet our current and planned needs. We do not currently have any long term agreements in place for the manufacture of our Mods.  


With respect to our vaping accessories, we purchase our batteries from suppliers in China and our atomizers from suppliers in the United States, Austria, the Philippines and China.  We believe that suppliers for accessories are readily available to meet our current and planned needs.  


We source our proprietary E-liquids (such as our Binary Premium E-Liquid) from an ISO Class 7 certified manufacturer in the USA, which helps ensure their purity and quality.  In addition to sourcing our own e-liquids, we also purchase e-liquid from other reputable American suppliers for resale through our distribution channels.  


Distribution to Retail Stores


We market and sell our vaping devices and related products to end customers through our websites www.vapor-hub.com and www.smokelessdelite.com, to retail stores through direct sales primarily in the United States but also internationally, and through third party wholesalers who then resell our products to retailers in their territory.  Retailers of our products include vaping shops throughout the United States as well as convenience stores and several gas stations.  Products distributed by the Company include vaping devices and related accessories purchased from third parties for resale as well as our own vaping devices and related accessories, which we design and source, including our popular “AR Mechanical Mods”, newly released and popular “Limitless Mechanical Mods”, as well as “Binary Premium e-Liquid”.

Operation of Retail Stores


We also sell our products and those of third parties to end consumers directly through our two retail locations located in Southern California.  Our first retail location in Simi Valley, CA was 725 square feet and was the first vapor lounge in Simi Valley. On April 1, 2015, the Company moved its Simi Valley retail location to a larger 1,500 square foot facility. Our second location is located in Chatsworth, CA and measures 1,200 square feet.  Through our retail locations, we sell and market vaping devices as well as e-liquid, accessories, and supplies relating to vaping devices to both novice users as well as consumers who demand high end technical devices.  


We opened our retail locations in order to create brand recognition for our products and also to enable us to gather information about user preferences in the rapidly evolving vaping industry.  By learning about user preferences, we believe we are better able to design and source products to meet market demand.  


The format of the retail establishments is to provide a “lounge” atmosphere where “vaping” can be enjoyed by the customer in a congenial environment.  The design of our locations is modern, industrial and open. Bar stools are provided for clients to sit and enjoy the tasting experience. A few bar tables are available for customers to try flavors on their own.  Inventory is located behind the bar and in cabinets and showcases along the wall. There are TVs located along the wall to drive eyes to the showcases, as well as provide interactive advertising. Additional amenities include servers attending to customers’ needs, as well as free WiFi and electrical charging stations for electronic devices.  


Currently, we do not have any plans to open additional stores.


Marketing


We advertise our products primarily through our websites, through email marketing campaigns, at industry trade shows and through point of sale materials and displays at our retail locations. We also attempt to build brand awareness through innovative social media marketing activities on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, through in-store and on-premise promotions and through public relation initiatives, such as radio interviews and press releases. We intend to strategically expand our advertising activities in fiscal year 2016 and also increase our public relations campaigns to gain editorial coverage for our products.  


Competition


Our industry is extremely competitive and there are low barriers to entry.  We compete with numerous regional, national and international electronic cigarette companies, and several large tobacco companies offer or are in the process of developing electronic cigarette products.  We also compete to some extent with traditional tobacco products for customers, and to a lesser extent, we compete with companies that offer smoking cessation aids.


Most of our competitors are larger than we are, have been in operation longer than us and have greater financial and operational resources than we do, which gives them an advantage in marketing their products, securing components, materials and labor at lower prices and delivering their products more quickly and at more favorable prices.  In addition, our competitors may be able to provide more competitive products than we can and generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in legislation and regulations relating to the industry. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products or services than we do.  


We compete for customers based on a variety of factors, including the design and quality of our products, price and customer service.  We believe that we compete effectively in our industry as a result of, among other reasons, our innovative products, our retail stores, our team of experienced industry professionals and the reputation of our brands.  At a retail price point of $99 to $250, we also believe that our Mods are competitively priced in our target markets.

Markets


According to estimates released by Euromonitor International, the e-cigarette market reached the $6 billion USD mark in 2014.  Euromonitor International further reports that the United States is the largest market for vaping products, accounting for nearly half of global sales in 2014 at just over $2.8 billion USD.  In 2014, the UK became the second largest market for electronic cigarettes, followed by Italy, Poland and France. Euromonitor International forecasts that the e-cigarette sector will grow 29.3% compound annual growth rate to reach $23.4 billion USD in 2019 and $50 billion USD by 2030, if the current regulatory environment remains unchanged.  According to Euromonitor International, there has been a shift from e-cigarettes (which look like traditional cigarettes) to open tank systems which enable users to customize their e-liquid intake, with estimated global sales for tanks and e-liquids of $2.0 billion in 2014.


We believe a portion of electronic cigarette users are people trying to switch from regular cigarettes. In 2013, worldwide cigarette sales were estimated at approximately $720 billion and domestic sales in the United States were estimated at just over $91 billion. While sales of traditional cigarettes and other tobacco products are widely expected to decline in the United States, some analysts predict that by 2020, electronic cigarettes could out-sell traditional cigarette products in the United States.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 68.8% of US adult cigarette smokers report that they want to quit smoking, which we believe presents an opportunity for the electronic cigarette industry.


There can be no assurances, however, that such predictions regarding the global or United States markets will manifest.  Additionally, proposed governmental regulations could severely impact the growth of the electronic cigarette market both in the United States and internationally.  


Intellectual Property


We are the registered owner of the federal trademarks for “Vapor Hub”, “Tac Mods USA” and “T TAC MODS USA MADE IN USA” and design.  We also own the pending trademark application for “Vamped Vapor Cells,” which has been approved and allowed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. 


On December 13, 2013, we filed a patent application titled AR MODS with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (Patent Application Number 61/915,919).


We plan to continue to expand our brand names and our proprietary trademarks, designs and patents worldwide as our business grows.


Government Regulation


The regulatory landscape confronting the electronic cigarette industry is difficult to accurately predict both in the US and internationally.  However, as described in further detail below, the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) may impose significant regulations on our industry under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 (the “Tobacco Control Act”) and international agencies may seek to impose additional regulations on our industry under the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (“FCTC”).  


Proposed FDA Regulation


Based on the December 2010 U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s decision in Sottera, Inc. v. Food & Drug Administration, 627 F.3d 891 (D.C. Cir. 2010), the FDA is permitted to regulate electronic cigarettes as “tobacco products” under the Tobacco Control Act.  The Tobacco Control Act grants the FDA broad authority over the manufacture, sale, marketing and packaging of tobacco products, although the FDA is prohibited from issuing regulations banning all cigarettes or all smokeless tobacco products, or requiring the reduction of nicotine yields of a tobacco product to zero.



11




The Tobacco Control Act imposes significant restrictions on the advertising and promotion of tobacco products. These regulations significantly limit the ability of manufacturers, distributors and retailers to advertise and promote tobacco products, by, for example, restricting the use of color, graphics and sound effects in advertising, limiting the use of outdoor advertising, restricting the sale and distribution of non-tobacco items and services, gifts, and sponsorship of events and imposing restrictions on the use for cigarette or smokeless tobacco products of trade or brand names that are used for non-tobacco products. The law also requires the FDA to issue future regulations regarding the promotion and marketing of tobacco products sold or distributed over the internet, by mail order or through other non-face-to-face transactions in order to prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors.  It is likely that the Tobacco Control Act could result in a decrease in tobacco product sales in the United States, including sales of our electronic cigarettes.


While the FDA has not yet mandated electronic cigarettes be regulated as tobacco products, in April 2014, the FDA proposed a new rule that would deem electronic cigarettes to be included under the definition of a “tobacco product” under the Tobacco Control Act and thus subject to the FDA’s jurisdiction.


Consistent with currently regulated tobacco products, under the proposed rule, makers of electronic cigarettes would, among other requirements:


Register with the FDA and report product and ingredient listings;

Only market new tobacco products after FDA review;

Only make direct and implied claims of reduced risk if the FDA confirms that scientific evidence supports the claim and that marketing the product will benefit public health as a whole; and

Not distribute free samples.


In addition, under the proposed rule, the following provisions would apply to electronic cigarettes:


Minimum age and identification restrictions to prevent sales to underage youth;

Requirements to include health warnings; and

Prohibition of vending machine sales, unless in a facility that never admits youth.


In the comment period following the FDA’s announcement of the proposed rule, the FDA received in excess of 72,000 comments.  In light of the high volume of comments and considering the typical timeline associated with the federal rule-making process, it is very difficult to predict when final rules, if any, will be enacted.  In June 2015, the FDA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to seek public comment related to warnings and child-resistant packaging for liquid nicotine.  However, the FDA did not at such time indicate the timing or scope of future regulations.  Consequently, it is very difficult to anticipate the impact such rules and regulations will have on our company or the industry at large.  In this regard, total compliance and related costs are not possible to predict and depend substantially on the future requirements imposed by regulatory authorities.  Costs, however, could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and ability to market and sell our products. In addition, failure to comply with any of the rules promulgated in accordance with any applicable law could result in significant financial penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Other Federal Regulations


At present, neither the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act (which prohibits the use of the U.S. Postal Service to mail most tobacco products and which amends the Jenkins Act, which would require individuals and businesses that make interstate sales of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco to comply with state tax laws) nor the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (which governs how cigarettes can be advertised and marketed) apply to electronic cigarettes. The application of either or both of these federal laws to electronic cigarettes would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



12




State and Local Regulations


State and local governments currently legislate and regulate tobacco products, including what is considered a tobacco product, how tobacco taxes are calculated and collected, to whom and by whom tobacco products can be sold and where tobacco products may or may not be smoked. Certain municipalities have enacted local ordinances which preclude the use of electronic cigarettes where traditional tobacco burning cigarettes cannot be used and certain states have proposed legislation that would categorize electronic cigarettes as tobacco products, equivalent to their tobacco burning counterparts. If a significant number of jurisdictions enact prohibitive laws and regulations, electronic cigarettes may lose their appeal as an alternative to cigarettes, which may have the effect of reducing the demand for our products and as a result have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


International Regulations


The tobacco industry expects significant regulatory developments to take place over the next few years, driven principally by the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).  The FCTC is the first international public health treaty on tobacco, and its objective is to establish a global agenda for tobacco regulation with the purpose of reducing initiation of tobacco use and encouraging cessation. Regulatory initiatives that have been proposed, introduced or enacted include:


the levying of substantial and increasing tax and duty charges;

restrictions or bans on advertising, marketing and sponsorship;

the display of larger health warnings, graphic health warnings and other labeling requirements;

restrictions on packaging design, including the use of colors and generic packaging;

restrictions or bans on the display of tobacco product packaging at the point of sale, and restrictions or bans on cigarette vending machines;

requirements regarding testing, disclosure and performance standards for tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other smoke constituents levels;

requirements regarding testing, disclosure and use of tobacco product ingredients;

increased restrictions on smoking in public and work places and, in some instances, in private places and outdoors;

encouraging litigation against tobacco companies.


Research and Development Expenditures


We do not have a formal research and development department.  However, an in-house team of approximately four employees is responsible for the design and development of our Mods and related accessories, including e-liquid and batteries.  


Employees


As of October 8, 2015, we had 24 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees in general and administrative, operations, engineering, research and development, business development, sales and marketing, and finance.

Emerging Growth Company


We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”).  As an "emerging growth company," we are able to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies.


The JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies.  Additionally, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." These provisions include, among other matters:


•  

the ability to provide fewer years of financial statements and other financial data in an initial public offering registration statement;

•  

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal control over financial reporting;

the ability to omit the compensation discussion and analysis and reduce compensation disclosure in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

•  

no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.


We intend to take advantage of these exemptions as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:


•  

the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement;

•  

the last day of the fiscal year in which we have annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more;

•  

the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and

•  

the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer," which will occur at such time as we (a) have an aggregate worldwide market value of common equity securities held by non-affiliates of $700 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (b) have been required to file annual and quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, for a period of at least 12 months, and (c) have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this annual report before purchasing shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.


Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry


We have incurred losses in the past and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations.


As of June 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,037,603 due to our continuing losses from operations.  For the year ended June 30, 2015, we had net loss of $613,997.  We cannot assure you that we will generate operating profits on a sustainable basis as we continue to expand our infrastructure, further develop our marketing efforts and otherwise implement our business initiatives.

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient cash resources to meet our business objectives.


Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, which we have not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from equity financings, debt financings, or from other sources.  The extent of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including results of operations and the growth rate of our business.  At June 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $539,496 and we currently face liquidity and capital resources constraints.


Our near term objective is to raise debt or equity capital to fund our immediate cash needs and to finance our longer term growth and to pursue various means to reduce operating costs and increase cash.  We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to achieve cost reductions in our operations or raise additional debt or equity capital, and if we are unsuccessful, we may not be able to grow our operations as planned, may not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and may even need to cease our operations. If we are successfully able to raise capital, the issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and if capital is raised through debt facilities, such facilities will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments, and may also impose restrictive covenants relating to the operation of our business. We presently do not have any finalized arrangements for additional financing and we continue to evaluate various financing strategies to support our current operations and fund our future growth.


Our Convertible Note financing may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders and could cause us to incur significant financial penalties


On November 4, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Investor”), pursuant to which we concurrently issued to Investor a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $1,687,500 (the “Company Note”).  Beginning on May 4, 2015, we are required to repay the outstanding balance on the Company Note in monthly installments of approximately $35,000 per month plus all unpaid interest and other costs, fees or charges under the Company Note.  Although we intend to repay the note in cash, if we are unable to repay the borrowings from the Investor in cash when they become due and issue shares of common stock to pay an installment, our existing stockholders will likely be significantly diluted pursuant to the terms of the Company Notes and our shares may significantly decline in value or become worthless.  On February 5, 2015, we filed Amended and Restated Articles with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada which increases the authorized number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company from 140,000,000 shares to 1,010,000,000 to comply with covenants contained in our debt facility with the Investor and to ensure that we have sufficient shares available for issuance in the event the Company Note is fully or partially converted into common stock.


In addition, if we fail to repay the Company Note when due, or if we are otherwise in default under the Company Note, at the option of Investor a default interest rate of 22% per annum will apply on all portions of the Company Note that are then eligible to be converted into our common stock while the default continues.  In the event we are in default under the Company Note, the Investor also has the option to accelerate the note with the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable or increase the outstanding balance of the note by an amount of 5% or 15% depending on the particular default.  In addition, if we fail to issue stock to the Investor within three trading days of receipt of a notice of conversion, we must pay a penalty equal to the greater of (i) $500 per day; or (ii) 2% of the product of (A) the number of shares to which Investor was entitled that were not issued on a timely basis; and (B) the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the last day for us to timely issue the shares.  In the event that any of the foregoing circumstances occur, our results of operations may be materially adversely effected, and our stock price may fall. As of June 30, 2015, the Company elected to deduct and offset the principal amount of $1,300,000 and all accrued interest thereon owing by the Investor under the remaining nine investor Notes from the amount owed by the Company under the Company Note. As of October 1, 2015 the aggregate outstanding balance under the Company Note is approximately $158,000.



15




If we default under our facility with B of I Federal Bank, we may lose all of our assets and intellectual property


On June 2, 2015, we entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement with BofI Federal Bank (the “Bank”).  Payments of the principal and interest under our agreement with B of I Federal Bank are secured by first priority liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of our present and after-acquired assets and are also personally guaranteed by Lori Winther, our Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, Kyle Winther, our Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Gary Perlingos, our President and a director of the Company.  If an event of default occurs under the agreement, all obligations owing by us to the Bank under the agreement will, at the Bank’s election, become immediately due and payable and the Bank may exercise its rights as a secured creditor and obtain our assets.   If we lose all or a substantial portion of our assets, our shares will likely significantly decline in value or become worthless.  As of October 1, 2015 the aggregate outstanding balance under the Company Note is $71,750.


Our lenders have rights that are senior to those of our common stockholders


On June 4, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited partnership, pursuant to which we concurrently issued to the investor an unsecured non-convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $245,000 (the “June Note”).  As further described under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, the June Note matures and is payable in full on December 4, 2015.


Similarly, on August 12, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, a Utah limited liability company, pursuant to which we concurrently issued to the investor an unsecured non-convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $245,000 (the “August Note”).  As further described under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, the August Note matures and is payable in full on February 12, 2016.


Upon the occurrence of an event of default under a note, the outstanding balance of the applicable note will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  In addition, if an event of default occurs under a note, the applicable investor may declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due under the applicable note to be immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding balance of the applicable note as of the date of the event of default, plus all interest, fees and charges that may accrue on such outstanding balance thereafter.    


Our ability to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness (including the June Note, the August Note, the November 4, 2014 note and under our facility with B of I Federal Bank) and to satisfy our other obligations will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital. We may be unable to effect any of these actions on satisfactory terms, or at all. In the event we issue common stock or other equity securities to satisfy our debt obligations, our existing stockholders may suffer significant dilution.  Furthermore, any proceeds that we could realize from any financings or the disposition of assets may not be adequate to meet our debt service or other obligations then due, which would have an immediate material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  In the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the claims of our lenders (including B of I, Typenex and Iliad) must be satisfied before any distributions can be made on our common stock. As a result, our common stockholders would receive distributions only after priority distributions to our lenders are satisfied and may receive nothing in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation.

We operate a developing business, and it is difficult to accurately predict our future sales and appropriately budget expenses.


Because our business is evolving, it is difficult to accurately predict our future sales and appropriately budget our expenses.  Our operations will be subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a developing business, including, among other things, efficiently deploying our capital, developing our products, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing brand awareness and acceptance of our products. Our ability to generate future sales will be dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the pricing of competing products, overall demand for our products, changes in consumer preferences, market competition and government regulation. While we believe that we have the opportunity to be successful in the electronic cigarette industry, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing our business initiatives, or that we will be able to achieve any significant levels of revenues or net income, from the sale of our products.  


The market for our products is uncertain and is still evolving.


Electronic cigarettes, having recently been introduced to market, are at an early stage of development and are evolving rapidly and are characterized by an increasing number of market entrants. Our future revenues and any future profits are substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of electronic cigarettes. Rapid growth in the use of, and interest in, electronic cigarettes is a recent phenomenon, and may not continue on a lasting basis. The demand and market acceptance for these products is subject to a high level of uncertainty.  We are subject to all of the business risks associated with a new enterprise in a niche market, including risks of unforeseen capital requirements, failure of widespread market acceptance of electronic cigarettes, in general or, specifically our products, failure to establish business relationships and competitive disadvantages as against larger and more established competitors. 


We face intense competition and our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


We face intense competition from direct and indirect competitors, including tobacco companies, other known and established or yet to be formed electronic cigarette companies, and pharmaceutical companies that market smoking cessation aids and alternative nicotine delivery products, each of whom pose a competitive threat to our current business and future prospects. We are subject to highly competitive conditions in all aspects of our business, and barriers to entry into our business are low.  We expect competition to intensify in the future.


We compete primarily on the basis of product quality, brand recognition, brand loyalty, service, marketing, advertising and price. Some tobacco companies currently offer traditional tobacco products and may introduce new tobacco based cigarettes and smoking devices.  Because of their well-established sales and distribution channels, marketing expertise and significant resources, large tobacco companies are better positioned than small competitors to capture a larger share of the electronic cigarette market.  We also face competition from smaller tobacco companies that are much larger, better funded, and more established than us.   


There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against any of the aforementioned competitors and our inability to successfully compete against these or any of our competitors will have a material adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial condition.




17




Our products may become obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to respond adequately to rapidly changing technology and customer demands.


Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. As a result, our products and services may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, develop new products and enhance our current products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, our products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced versions of existing products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced services to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favorably received.  If we are unable to meet the changing demands of our customers, our business and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.


We must attract and maintain key personnel or our business could be materially adversely affected.


We must attract and retain key personnel in order to successfully operate our business. We compete with other companies both within and outside the tobacco/ electronic Cigarette industry to recruit and retain competent employees.  If we cannot retain qualified employees to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.


If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, then we may not be able to compete effectively and we may not be profitable.


Our commercial success may depend, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent protection, trade secret protection and regulatory protection of our technologies and product candidates as well as successfully defending third-party challenges to such technologies and candidates.  We also consider our trademarks invaluable to our ability to continue to develop and maintain the goodwill and recognition associated with our brand.


With respect to our patented technology, the enforceability of a patent is often uncertain and determining whether a patent is enforceable involves complex legal and factual questions. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States or other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property. Accordingly, we cannot predict with any certainty the range of claims that may be allowed or enforced concerning our patents.


We may also rely on trade secrets to protect our technologies, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. While we seek to protect confidential information, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our consultants and scientific and other advisors, they may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim against a third party related to the illegal acquisition and use of trade secrets can be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is often unpredictable.


If we are not able to maintain patent or trade secret protection on our technologies and product candidates, then we may not be able to exclude competitors from developing or marketing competing products, and we may not be able to operate profitability.




18




We could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly.


We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In addition, notwithstanding any rights we have secured in our intellectual property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights and such parties may further argue that our intellectual property rights are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources, result in the loss of goodwill associated with our service marks or require us to make changes to our website or other of our technologies, all of which could negatively impact our stock price.


If we are the subject of an intellectual property infringement claim, the cost of participating in any litigation could materially adversely affect our business.


There has been, and we believe that there will continue to be, significant litigation and demands for licenses in our industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Although we anticipate having a valid defense to any allegation that our current products, production methods and other activities infringe the valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of any third parties, we cannot be certain that a third party will not challenge our position in the future. Other parties may own patent rights that we might infringe with our products or other activities, and our competitors or other patent holders may assert that our products and the methods we employ are covered by their patents. These parties could bring claims against us that would cause us to incur substantial litigation expenses and, if successful, may require us to pay substantial damages. Some of our potential competitors may be better able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation, and depending on the circumstances, we could be forced to stop or delay our research, development, manufacturing or sales activities. Any of these costs could cause us to go out of business.


If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.


We expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business in the coming years. We anticipate that we will need to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations, including staff to help source our products, manage operations, increase our sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.


Limitation by states and cities on sales of electronic cigarettes may have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our products in the United States.


Certain states and cities have enacted laws which preclude the use of electronic cigarettes where traditional tobacco-burning cigarettes cannot be used and others have proposed legislation that would categorize electronic cigarettes as tobacco products, equivalent to their tobacco burning counterparts. If the use of electronic cigarettes is banned in places where the use of traditional tobacco burning cigarettes is banned, electronic cigarettes may lose their appeal as an alternative to cigarettes, which may have the effect of reducing the demand for our products and as a result have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




19




The use of electronic cigarettes may pose health risks as great as, or greater than, regular tobacco products.


According to the FDA, electronic cigarettes may contain ingredients that are known to be toxic to humans and may contain other ingredients that may not be safe. Additionally, electronic cigarettes may be attractive to young people and may lead them to try other tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes that are known to cause disease. Because clinical studies about the safety and efficacy of electronic cigarettes have not been submitted to the FDA, consumers currently have no way of knowing whether electronic cigarettes are safe before their intended use; what types or concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals are found in these products; or how much nicotine is being inhaled. In addition, there have been instances of electronic cigarettes exploding, especially during charging.  Consequently there is a risk that an electronic cigarette can cause disease and/or serious bodily injury and the publicity from such instances of disease or injury could dramatically slow the growth of the market for electronic cigarettes.


The recent development of electronic cigarettes has not allowed the medical profession to study the long-term health effects of electronic cigarette use.


Because electronic cigarettes were recently developed, the medical profession has not had a sufficient period of time to study the long-term health effects of electronic cigarette use. Therefore, there is no way of knowing whether or not electronic cigarettes are safe for their intended use. If the medical profession were to determine conclusively that electronic cigarette usage poses long-term health risks, electronic cigarette usage could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Electronic cigarettes may become subject to regulation by the FDA.


The FDA did not appeal the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Sottera, Inc. v. Food & Drug Administration (2010) which held that electronic cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products are not drugs or devices unless they are marketed for therapeutic purposes.  The Court held further that electronic cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products can be regulated as “tobacco products” under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Consequently, the FDA may choose to develop regulations governing the manufacture, marketing and sale of electronic cigarettes.


Potential FDA regulations, or significant costs to comply with potential FDA regulations, could have a materially adverse effect on our company’s operations and profitability. Failure to comply with FDA regulatory requirements could result in significant financial penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and ability to market and sell our products.


On August 23, 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FDA is considering a ban on online sales of electronic cigarettes. If the FDA implements such a ban or otherwise implements regulations that have the effect of reducing our sales, our financial results would be materially adversely affected and we may ultimately be forced to cease our operations.


We may experience product liability claims in our business, which could adversely affect our business.


The tobacco industry in general has historically been subject to frequent product liability claims. As a result, we may experience product liability claims from the marketing and sale of electronic cigarettes and defects in the products we distribute. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in:


·

liabilities that substantially exceed our product liability insurance, which we would then be required to pay from other sources, if available;

·

an increase of our product liability insurance rates or the inability to maintain insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, or at all;

·

damage to our reputation and the reputation of our products, resulting in lower sales;

·

regulatory investigations that could require costly recalls or product modifications;

·

litigation costs; and

·

the diversion of management’s attention from managing our business.



20




Any one or more of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


If we experience product recalls, we may incur significant and unexpected costs and our business reputation could be adversely affected.


We may be exposed to product recalls and adverse public relations if our products are alleged to cause illness or injury, or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations. A product recall could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures that could exceed our product recall insurance coverage limits and harm to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, a product recall may require significant management time and attention and may adversely impact on the value of our brands. Product recalls may lead to greater scrutiny by federal or state regulatory agencies and increased litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


We may face liability for improper marketing, medical claims and labeling.


As a distributor and marketer of a product that the FDA may assert is a smoking cessation device and or a tobacco product, the Company faces potential fines, sanctions, administrative actions, penalties, and other liability for: improper labeling, making improper claims, referencing or publishing to its websites, marketing materials, advertisements, testimonials or representations that certain of our products have the ability or potential to treat, cure or otherwise improve a medical condition, and or provide a healthier alternative to other more traditional tobacco products.


Moreover, if the FDA asserts we are a tobacco product, we may be required to follow federal and state tobacco labeling laws, and could face potential fines, sanctions, administrative actions, penalties and other liability, either civil and or criminal, for any violations thereof.


Any violation of law with respect to the Company’s marketing materials and or labeling could expose our company to liability including but not limited to fines, sanctions, administrative actions, penalties, civil actions and or criminal prosecution.  Although our company maintains general liability insurance, our company’s insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify our company for all liability that may be imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.


New products face intense media attention and public pressure.


E-Cigarettes are new to the marketplace and since their introduction certain members of the media, politicians, government regulators and advocate groups, including independent doctors have called for an outright ban of all electronic cigarettes, pending regulatory review and a demonstration of safety. A ban of this type would likely have the effect of terminating our United States’ sales and marketing efforts of certain products which we currently market or have plans to market in the future. Such a ban would also likely cause public confusion as to which products are the subject of the ban and which are not and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and performance.


Our products contain nicotine which is considered to be a highly addictive substance.


Certain of our products contain nicotine, a chemical found in cigarettes and other tobacco products which is considered to be highly addictive. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act empowers the FDA to regulate the amount of nicotine found in tobacco products, but may not require the reduction of nicotine yields of a tobacco product to zero. Any FDA regulation may require us to reformulate, recall and or discontinue certain of the products we may sell from time to time, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to market our products and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or future prospects.



21




Our business may be affected if we are taxed like other tobacco products or if we are required to collect and remit sales tax on certain of our internet sales.


Presently our products are not taxed like cigarettes or other tobacco products, all of which have faced significant increases in the amount of taxes collected on the sale of their products. Should state and federal governments and or taxing authorities impose taxes similar to those levied against cigarettes and tobacco products on our products, it may have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products. Moreover we may be unable to establish the systems and processes needed to track and submit the taxes we collect through internet sales, which would limit our ability to market our products through our websites which would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operation and financial condition.


States including New York, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Georgia and North Carolina have begun collecting taxes on Internet sales where companies have used independent contractors in such states to solicit sales from residents of those states. The requirement to collect, track and remit taxes based on independent affiliate sales may require us to increase our prices, which may affect demand for our products or conversely reduce our net profit margin; either of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial condition and operating results.


Our success is dependent upon our marketing efforts.


We have limited marketing experience in marketing electronic cigarettes and limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake extensive marketing activities. If we are unable to generate significant market awareness for our products and our brands, our operations may not generate sufficient revenues for us to execute our business plan.


We rely, in part, on the efforts of our independent sales distributors and outside broker/dealer network to augment our internal sales efforts and distribute our product to wholesalers and or retailers to generate revenues. No single distributor currently accounts for a material percentage of our revenues and we believe that should any of these relationships terminate we would be able to find suitable replacements.  However any change in distributors or our ability to timely replace any given distributor could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.


We depend on a small number of third party suppliers and manufacturers for critical raw materials, components and certain of our electronic cigarette products.


 

We depend on a small number of third-party suppliers and manufacturers for critical raw materials, components and certain of our electronic cigarette products.  We depend on such suppliers to supply materials, components and products in a timely manner, in adequate quantities, consistent quality and at reasonable costs.  An interruption in supply and or consistency of our products may harm our relationships and goodwill with customers, and have a materially adverse effect on our cash flow and our operations.  


Although we believe that several alternative and redundant sources for our products are available, any failure to obtain the components, chemical constituents and manufacturing services necessary for the production of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business and prevent us from timely execution of our business plan and may result in additional expenditures of time and money in seeking viable new sources of supply and manufacturer alternatives.




22




Our financial results may vary significantly from period-to-period due to unpredictable sales cycles in certain of the markets into which we sell our products, and changes in the mix of products we sell during a period, which may lead to volatility in our stock price.


The size and timing of our potential revenue from sales to our customers is difficult to predict and is market-dependent. Our sales efforts will often require us to educate our customers about the use and benefits of our products, including their technical and performance characteristics. We intend to spend substantial amounts of time and money on our sales efforts and there is no assurance that these investments will produce any sales within expected time frames or at all. Given the potentially large size of purchase orders for our products, particularly by distributors who resell into retail channels, the loss of or delay in the signing of a customer order could significantly reduce our revenue in any period. Our revenues in each period may also vary significantly as a result of purchases, or lack thereof, by significant retail customers.


Our profitability from period-to-period may also vary significantly due to the mix of products that we may sell in different periods. Consequently, sales of individual products may not necessarily be consistent across periods, which could affect product mix and cause gross and operating profits to vary significantly. As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results cannot necessarily be relied upon to be meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance.


Product exchanges, returns and warranty claims may adversely affect our business.


If we are unable to maintain an acceptable degree of quality control of our products we will incur costs associated with the exchange and return of our products as well as servicing our customers for warranty claims. Any of the foregoing on a significant scale may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect the demand for our products.


Electronic cigarettes are new to market and may be regarded by users as a novelty item and expendable. When economic conditions are prosperous, discretionary spending typically increases; conversely, when economic conditions are unfavorable, discretionary spending often declines. Any significant decline in economic conditions that affects consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Internet security poses a risk to our e-commerce sales.


At present, we generate revenues through the sale of our products through our websites. We manage our websites and e-commerce platform internally and as a result any compromise of our security or misappropriation of proprietary information could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from other companies to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure Internet transmission of confidential information, such as credit and other proprietary information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect client transaction data. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause material interruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to minimize problems caused by security breaches. To the extent that our activities or the activities of others involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation, government sanction, and possible liability. Our failure to prevent these security breaches may further result in consumer distrust and may also adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.




23




We may incur losses that are not adequately covered by insurance, which may harm our results of operations. In addition, our insurance costs may increase and we may not be able to obtain similar insurance coverage in the future.


Although we believe we maintain insurance that is customary and appropriate for our business and its size, each of our insurance policies is subject to certain exclusions. The lack of adequate insurance for certain types or levels of risk could expose us to significant losses in the event that a catastrophe occurred for which we are underinsured. In addition to the damage caused to our properties by a casualty loss, we may suffer business disruption as a result of the casualty event or be subject to claims by third parties that may be injured or harmed. While we carry general liability insurance and business interruption insurance, there can be no assurance that insurance will be available or adequate to cover all loss and damage to which our business or our assets might be subjected. In addition, certain casualty events, such as labor strikes, nuclear events, loss of income due to terrorism, deterioration or corrosion, insect or animal damage and pollution, may not be covered under our policies. Any losses we incur that are not adequately covered by insurance may decrease our future operating income, require us to fund replacements or repairs for destroyed property and reduce the funds available for payments of our obligations.


We renew our insurance policies on an annual basis. To the extent that the cost of insurance coverage increases, we may be required to reduce our policy limits or agree to exclusions from our coverage.


We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of our business. An adverse determination with respect to any such disputed matter could result in substantial losses.


We are, from time to time, during the ordinary course of operating our businesses, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes, including contract, lease, employment and regulatory claims as well as claims made by visitors to our retail locations. Certain litigation claims may not be covered entirely or at all by our insurance policies or our insurance carriers may seek to deny coverage. In addition, litigation claims can be expensive to defend and may divert our attention from the operations of our businesses. Further, litigation, even if without merit, can attract adverse media attention. As a result, litigation can have a material adverse effect on our businesses and, because we cannot predict the outcome of any action, it is possible that adverse judgments or settlements could significantly reduce our earnings or result in losses.


Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Securities


Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.


The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:


·

variations in our operating results;

·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;

·

additions or departures of key personnel; and

·

future sales of our common stock.


Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may also adversely affect the price of our common stock.  




24




Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.


We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. Our common stock has historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at certain given time may be relatively small or non-existent.


This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.


Our stock is a penny stock, which may subject our common stock to abuse.


Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


Because our common stock is a “penny stock,” trading therein will be subject to regulatory restrictions.


Our common stock is currently, and in the near future will likely continue to be, considered a “penny stock.” The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure and other requirements may adversely affect the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.




25




We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholders.


We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors, but subject to the terms of restrictive covenants that may be present in our contractual arrangements. We presently intend to retain all earnings to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.


The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.


Our Articles of Incorporation include a specific provision to eliminate the liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to our company and shareholders to the maximum extent provided for by Nevada law. We may also adopt contractual indemnification obligations under employment agreements that we may enter into with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.


Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of stock which could dilute existing shareholders.


We are currently authorized to issue up to 1,010,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 72,455,606 shares are currently issued and outstanding and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.  Additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock may be issued by our board of directors for such consideration as they may consider sufficient without seeking stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders and the issuance of preferred stock may also have a similar impact.




26




Provisions in our organizational documents and Nevada law will make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us.


Our amended and restated articles of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring our company, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. As an example, our restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide:


·

The ability to our board of directors to issue shares of our preferred stock in one or more series without further authorization of our stockholders;

·

A prohibition on stockholder action by written consent; and

·

A requirement that stockholders provide advance notice of any stockholder nominations of directors or any proposal of new business to be considered at any meeting of stockholders.


In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.  


The majority of our board does not consist of independent directors, which limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures.


Our board is composed of five directors, none of whom are independent based on the NASDAQ listing rules.  Without a majority of independent directors on our board, our ability to establish effective corporate governance procedures to oversee functions such as audit, compensation and corporate governance is limited.  Furthermore, a majority of our directors are also executive officers of the Company.  This structure gives our executive officers significant control over all corporate issues and decisions.


In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, most of whom are also principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval.  This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between us and our shareholders generally and the controlling officers, shareholders or directors.  Although we anticipate seeking independent directors in the future, there can be no assurance as to whether or when we will be successful in appointing any new directors.


We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30.




27





Because we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company” our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.


We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.  This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.  Because our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock.


If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our company, or if they issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry and markets or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.


The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about our company and our industry and markets. One or more analysts could downgrade our common stock or issue other negative commentary about our company or our industry or markets. In addition, we may be unable or slow to attract sufficient research coverage. Alternatively, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market. As a result of one or more of these factors, the trading price and volume of our common stock could decline.


Our officers, directors and principal stockholders can exert significant influence over our business and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.


Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively own approximately 52.4% of our issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result of such ownership, these stockholders will be able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of our common stock.




28




The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.


As a public company, we need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related regulations of the SEC, and requirements of the principal trading market upon which our common stock may trade, with which we are not required to comply as a private company. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that a private company would not incur. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a significant amount of the time of our board of directors and management, will require us to have additional finance and accounting staff, may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on the audit committee (upon its formation), and may make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly. We will need to:


·

institute a more comprehensive compliance function;

·

maintain internal policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading;

·

design, establish, evaluate and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

·

prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

·

involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities; and

·

establish an investor relations function.


If we are unable to accomplish these objectives in a timely and effective fashion for our business, our ability to comply with financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting companies could be impaired. If our finance and accounting personnel insufficiently support our business in fulfilling these public-company compliance obligations, or if we are unable to hire adequate finance and accounting personnel, we could face significant legal liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if we identify any issues in complying with those requirements (for example, if our company or the independent registered public accountants identified a material weakness or significant deficiency in our company’s internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of our company.

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


The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows of our company for the year ended June 30, 2015 and for the period from our inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014.  You should read this discussion together with the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information included in this Annual 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, including those discussed under Part I, Item 1A—”Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report, and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.


General Overview


On February 14, 2014, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Vapor Hub Inc., a California corporation (“Vapor”), Delite Products, Inc., a California corporation (“Delite”) and the shareholders of both companies (the “Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Vapor’s common stock, as well as all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Delite’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by our company of 38,000,001 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of both companies.  On March 14, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Vapor and issued all of the 38,000,001 shares of our stock to the shareholders of Vapor, who are also the shareholders of Delite.  On March 26, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Delite.  As a result of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, Vapor and Delite became our wholly owned subsidiaries and we now carry on the business of developing, producing, marketing and selling vaping devices and related accessories.  The transaction with Vapor was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (recapitalization) where Vapor was deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and us the legal acquirer. The transaction with Delite was accounted for as a business acquisition and we assumed the assets and liabilities of Delite at historical basis as of March 26, 2014 and the activity of Delite was included from that date forward. Prior to our acquisition of Vapor, we existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge.  On May 18, 2015, Vapor and Delite were merged with and into the Company, ending the separate existences of Vapor and Delite. This had no impact on the historical consolidated financial statements




31




Upon our acquisition of Vapor, Robin Looban resigned as our sole director, president, secretary, treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and management members from Vapor and Delite were appointed to serve as directors and officers of our company.  To reflect our acquisition of Vapor, on March 14, 2014 we changed our corporate name from Doginn, Inc. to Vapor Hub International Inc., and our stock symbol from “DOGI” to “VHUB”.  We also changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.  


Going Concern


Our capital requirements for the next twelve months will not be able to be funded in their entirety from our operating cash flows.  As of June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of $351,081.  We believe it will be necessary to raise additional funds to finance our operations, and intend to do so through equity financings, debt financings, or from other sources.  The extent of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including results of operations and the growth rate of our business.  


Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our cash balance as of June 30, 2015 along with other factors including our loss from operations raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the company to continue as a going concern.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. Please refer to Note 3 “BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES” for further discussion.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)  No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s  Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in the update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject the company’s consolidated financial statements to additional disclosure.




32




On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest – Imputations of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements of the amendment.


We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements issued prior to the date of issuance of our financial statements included in this report, and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenues:


Revenues are comprised of gross sales less returns and discounts.  In the year ended June 30, 2015, we generated revenues of $5,296,342 (net of returns and discounts of $133,500) and from the period from our inception on July 12, 2013 to June 30, 2014, we generated revenues of $1,202,663 (net of returns and discounts of $23,740).  The increase in revenues compared to the prior year period primarily results from growth of our wholesale distribution and direct distribution to retail store sales.   We expect revenues derived from our wholesale distribution, direct distribution to retail stores and sales through our websites, which collectively account for approximately 90% of our revenue, to increase as we increase our marketing initiatives.  We also expect our sales growth to be driven by sales of our new Limitless Mods and our Binary Premium e-Liquid line, which have been well received in the marketplace and collectively account for a majority of our sales.  We anticipate that retail sales will remain relatively flat in subsequent periods.   




33





Cost of Revenue:


Our cost of revenue primarily represents the cost of our outsourced manufacturing of our products and also the cost of purchasing products from third parties for resale.  Generally, our cost of revenue is lower on products that we directly source and is higher when we purchase products for resale from third parties. Our cost of revenue for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $3,202,067 and for the period from our inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014 was $647,287.  The increase in cost of revenues during the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period is primarily attributable to the period-over-period increase in our revenues. In addition, for the year ended June 30, 2015, our directly sourced products comprised approximately 60% of our sales, which is approximately a 15% decrease from the previous fiscal year.


Gross Profit:  Gross profit represents revenue less the cost of revenue.  During the year ended June 30, 2015, our gross profit was $2,094,275 and for the period from our inception to June 30, 2014 our gross profit was $555,376.  The increase in gross profit during the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period is primarily attributable to the period-over-period increase in our revenues.  Our gross margin (which is gross profit as a percentage of revenue) for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 39.5% compared to 46.2 % for the prior year period.  The decrease in our gross profit during our year ended June 30, 2015 results primarily from the sale of a greater percentage of third party products in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period, as described in the previous paragraph.  We expect our gross profit and profit margins to increase in subsequent periods as we sell more of our proprietary products, including, without limitation our Limitless Mods and Binary Premium e-Liquids and our newly launched Limitless Atomizer, which have higher margins than products we purchase for resale.


General and Administrative Expense:   General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, sales and marketing costs, infrastructure costs and costs associated with being a public reporting company.  During the year ended June 30, 2015, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,510,360 and in the comparable prior year period ending June 30, 2014 we incurred general and administrative expenses of $984,776.  The increase in general and administrative expense during the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period is attributable to increased sales and marketing costs, the hiring of 10 additional employees and costs associated with being a public reporting company.   Although our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 47.4% for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to 81.9% for the prior year period, we are continuing to evaluate our general and administrative expenses in an effort to reduce costs and improve our future profitability and cash flow.  In October of 2015, we took steps to lower our general and administrative expenses by dismissing 4 full time and 2 part time employees.


Other Income: Other Income (expense) for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $195,512 and primarily consists of interest expense of $163,016 incurred in connection with our credit facilities and an increase in derivative liability of $19,609 associated with our credit facility with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC.   For the period from our inception to June 30, 2014, we had other income of $12,873.


Net Loss: Net loss was $613,997 for the year ended June 30, 2015 and $423,606 for the period from our inception to June 30, 2014.  The increase in net loss from the prior year period primarily results from lower gross margins and higher general and administrative expenses and other expenses.  


Seasonality


Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations and we do not anticipate this changing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $351,081 and a working capital deficit of $539,496.  On June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $307,567 and a working capital deficit of $520,396.  We depend on cash from financing activities to fund our operating and investing activities, and we expect this trend to continue as we continue to grow our operations.  A summary of our net working capital as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and our cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the period from our inception to June 30, 2014 from our operating, investing and financing activities are summarized in the following tables:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $520,763 for the year ended June 30, 2015 and $645,362 for the period from our inception to June 30, 2014.  For the year ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities includes proceeds from convertible promissory notes payable of $272,008, proceeds from short term notes payable of $483,071, proceeds from affiliate loans of $80,543 offset by payments on affiliate loans of $85,608, payments on convertible notes payable of $70,313 and payments on short term notes payable of $152,291.




35





For the period from our inception to June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities includes proceeds of approximately $101,378 from affiliate loans and proceeds of $534,881 from the sale of convertible promissory notes.


As of June 30, 2015, we had a balance of approximately $96,312 outstanding as related party loans from Kyle Winther, our CEO, Lori Winther, our CFO and Winther & Company (an entity owned by Lori Winther and her husband, Niels Winther, who is a director of the company). The outstanding balances are non-interest bearing and repayable upon demand.  


First Facility with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC


On November 4, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Investor”), pursuant to which we concurrently issued to Investor a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $1,687,500 (the “Company Note”).  The principal amount includes an original issue discount of $80,000 plus an additional $7,500 to cover Investor's due diligence and legal fees in connection with the transaction.  In consideration for the Company Note, Investor paid an aggregate purchase price of $1,600,000 (the “Purchase Price”), consisting of an initial cash purchase price of $200,000 and the issuance to us of ten promissory notes, the first two promissory notes in a principal amount of $100,000 and the remaining eight promissory notes in a principal amount of $150,000 (each an “Investor Note” and collectively, the “Investor Notes”). The Company Note and the Investor Notes each bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on April 4, 2019 and our obligations under the Company Note are secured by liens on the Investor Notes pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into by us in favor of the Investor.  Subject to certain conditions, we may prepay the Company Note by making a payment equal to 125% of the then outstanding balance (including interest and other fees and amounts due).  Each of the Investor Notes may be prepaid only upon the mutual agreement of the parties.


On January 16, 2015, upon the mutual agreement of the parties, Typenex paid to us the sum of $102,028 as a prepayment of all of its obligations owed to us under the first Investor Note in the original principal amount of $100,000 dated November 4, 2014, issued by Typenex in favor of the company.  


Beginning on May 4, 2015, we are required to repay the outstanding balance on the Note in monthly installments of approximately $35,000 per month plus all unpaid interest and other costs, fees or charges under the Company Note. Payment may be made in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in shares of our common stock or any combination of cash and shares. If payments are made in shares, such installments or portions thereof are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into shares of our common stock at the lesser of (i) a conversion price of $0.10, subject to adjustment or (ii) a price that is equal to 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock in the twenty trading days immediately preceding such conversion, subject to a floor of $0.01.  In addition, on the date that is twenty trading days from the date we deliver installment shares to Investor, there is a true-up where we are required to deliver additional shares if the installment conversion price as of the true-up date is less than the installment conversion price used to deliver the initial shares.




36




Beginning on May 4, 2015, all or any amount of a conversion eligible tranche (as described below) under the Company Note is convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and other adjustments described in the Company Note (the “Conversion Price”).  The Company Note is convertible into shares of our common stock by Investor in eleven tranches consisting of an initial tranche of $217,500 plus interest and other amounts due which may be converted into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price at any time on or after May 4, 2015 and ten additional tranches (each a “Subsequent Tranche”), two of which are in the amount of $105,000 plus interest and other amounts due and eight of which are in the amount of $157,500 plus interest and other amounts due.  Each Subsequent Tranche may not be converted into shares of our common stock unless the Investor has paid in full the Investor Note corresponding to such tranche, which payment requires our consent.  On January 16, 2015, the Investor paid to the Company the sum of $102,028 as a prepayment of all of its obligations owed to the Company under the first Investor Note and consequently the first Subsequent Tranche of $105,000 plus interest and other amounts due may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price at the option of the Investor at any time on or after May 4, 2015. Subject to certain conditions based on the trading volume and trading price of our common stock, we may also elect to convert the entire outstanding balance under the Company Note into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price.  


If we fail to repay the Company Note when due, or if we are otherwise in default under the Company Note, at the option of Investor a default interest rate of 22% per annum will apply on all conversion eligible portions of the Company Note while the default continues.  In the event we are in default under the Company Note, the Investor also has the option to accelerate the note with the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable or increase the outstanding balance of the note by an amount of 5% or 15% depending on the particular default.  In addition, if we fail to issue stock to the Investor within three trading days of receipt of a notice of conversion, we must pay a penalty equal to the greater of (i) $500 per day; or (ii) 2% of the product of (A) the number of shares to which Investor was entitled that were not issued on a timely basis; and (B) the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the last day for us to timely issue the shares.


The Company Note provides that the Investor maintains a right of offset that, under certain circumstances, permits the Investor to deduct amounts owed by us under the Company Note from amounts otherwise owed by Investor under the Investor Notes.  In addition, we are permitted at any time to deduct and offset any amount owing by the Investor under the Investor Notes from any amount owed by us under the Company Note.


On June 30, 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Company Note, the Company elected to deduct and offset the principal amount of $1,300,000 and all accrued interest thereon owing by the Investor under the remaining nine Investor Notes from the amount owed by the Company under the Company Note, leaving an outstanding balance of approximately $252,000 under the Company Note as of June 30, 2015 and approximately $158,000 as of October 1, 2015.


The Company Note provides that Investor may not convert the Company Note in an amount which would cause Investor to own more than 4.99%, or if our market capitalization (as defined in the Company Note) is less than $10,000,000, more than 9.99%, of our outstanding common stock.


In connection with the first and second closings of the financing, we paid Pyrenees Investments $20,000 and $10,020, respectively, as a finder’s fee (equal to 10% of the gross proceeds).


The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company Note, the Investor Notes and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the documents, which are filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.




37




Second Facility with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC


On June 4, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, pursuant to which we concurrently issued to the investor an unsecured non-convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $245,000 (the “June Note”).  The principal amount includes an original issue discount of $40,000 plus an additional $5,000 to cover the investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the transaction.  In consideration for the June Note, the investor paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $200,000, computed as follows: $245,000 original principal balance, less the original issue discount of $40,000, and less the transaction costs.  The June Note matures on December 4, 2015.  We may prepay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due without penalty.


Interest does not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the June Note unless an event of default occurs.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding balance of the June Note will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  In addition, if an event of default occurs under the June Note, the investor may declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due under the June Note to be immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding balance of the June Note as of the date of the applicable event of default, plus all interest, fees and charges that may accrue on such outstanding balance thereafter.  


We paid MSC-BD, LLC $16,000 as a finder’s fee (equal to 8% of the net proceeds) in connection with financing from the investor.


Iliad Research and Trading Note


On August 12, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (“Iliad”) and an affiliate of Typenex Co-Investment, LLC., pursuant to which we concurrently issued to Iliad a Promissory Note in a principal amount of $245,000 (the “August Note”).  The principal amount includes an original issue discount of $40,000 plus an additional $5,000 to cover Iliad’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the transaction.  In consideration for the August Note, Iliad paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $200,000, computed as follows: $245,000 original principal balance, less the original issue discount of $40,000, and less the transaction costs.  The August Note matures on February 12, 2016.  We may prepay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due without penalty and if we prepay $225,000 on or before November 9, 2015, the August Note will be deemed paid in full.


Interest does not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the August Note unless an event of default occurs.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding balance of the August Note will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  In addition, if an event of default occurs under the August Note, Iliad may declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due under the August Note to be immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding balance of the August Note as of the date of the applicable event of default, plus all interest, fees and charges that may accrue on such outstanding balance thereafter.  


Facilities with B of I Federal Bank


On January 2, 2015, we entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement with B of I Federal Bank (the “Bank”).  Pursuant to the agreement, we borrowed $200,000 USD from the Bank and received net proceeds of $195,000 USD after deducting an origination fee of $5,000 USD.  The loan was payable in 147 payments of $1,728 due each business day beginning on and after January 5, 2015, with the initial total repayment amount (subject to certain exceptions) being equal to $254,000 USD.




38




On June 2, 2015, we entered into a new Business Loan and Security Agreement with BofI Federal Bank.  Pursuant to the agreement, we borrowed $175,000 from the Bank and received net proceeds of $104,071 after deducting an origination fee of $1,875 and the repayment of $69,054 in full satisfaction of the Company’s remaining obligations under that certain Business Loan and Security Agreement entered into with the Bank on January 2, 2015.  The new loan is payable in 126 payments of $1,708.33 due each business day beginning on June 3, 2015, with the total repayment amount (subject to certain exceptions) being equal to $215,249.58 (the “Total Repayment Amount”).


The new loan may be prepaid in whole by the Company at any time by paying the Bank an amount equal to the Total Repayment Amount (subject to certain fees) less (i) the amount of any loan payments made prior to such prepayment and (ii) the product of 0.25 and the aggregate amount of unpaid interest remaining on the loan as of the prepayment date.


The new loan is secured by all personal property of the Company and is also personally guaranteed by Lori Winther, our Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, Kyle Winther, our Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Gary Perlingos, our President and a director of the Company.  If an event of default occurs under the agreement, all obligations owing by us to the Bank under the agreement will, at the Bank’s election, become immediately due and payable and the Bank may exercise its rights as a secured creditor.


The foregoing description of the Business Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 8, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Conversion of Gotama Capital S.A. Debt into Common Stock


On June 30, 2015, we converted $614,340, representing the entire principal amount of each of the following promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”) and all accrued interest thereon into an aggregate of 4,095,605 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Conversion Shares”):


(i)

that certain convertible promissory note issued to Gotama Capital S.A. (“Gotama”) on March 14, 2014 in the principal amount of $185,000;


(ii)

that certain convertible promissory note issued to Gotama on April 10, 2014 in the principal amount of $200,000; and


(iii)

that certain convertible promissory note issued to Gotama on May 19, 2014 in the original principal amount of $175,000.  


Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, at our election, the principal amount of each of the Notes and all accrued interest thereon was converted into Conversion Shares at a price of $0.15 per share.  


Future Capital Requirements


Our capital requirements for the next twelve months will not be able to be funded in their entirety from our operating cash flows.  We believe it will be necessary to raise additional funds to finance our operations, and intend to do so through equity financings, debt financings, or from other sources.  The extent of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including results of operations and the growth rate of our business.


Although we intend to raise capital to finance our operations, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may not be able to grow our operations as planned, may not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and may ultimately be forced to restructure our operations.




39





If we are successfully able to raise capital, the issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and if capital is raised through debt facilities, such facilities will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments, and may also impose restrictive covenants relating to the operation of our business.


We presently do not have any finalized arrangements for additional financing and will continue to evaluate various financing strategies to support our current operations and fund our future growth.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.


Contractual Obligations


As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Vapor Hub International, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vapor Hub International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the period from Inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014. The Company’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 consolidated 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 the Company as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the period from Inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations.  The Company requires additional funds to meet its working capital requirements.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 3.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VAPOR HUB INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1- INCORPORATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACQUISITION


Vapor Hub International Inc. (formerly DogInn, Inc.) (hereinafter known as “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 15, 2010. On February 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Vapor Hub Inc., a California corporation (“Vapor”), Delite Products, Inc., a California corporation (“Delite”) and the shareholders of both companies (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Vapor’s common stock, as well as all 30,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Delite’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 38,000,001 shares of common stock to the shareholders of both companies. On March 14, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Vapor and issued all of the 38,000,001 shares of its stock to the shareholders of Vapor, who are also the shareholders of Delite. On March 26, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Delite. As a result of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, Vapor and Delite became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and the Company now carries on the business of developing, producing, marketing and selling the next generation of electronic cigarettes, known as vaping devices, and related accessories, including e-liquids, batteries and atomizers. The transaction with Vapor was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (recapitalization) whereby Vapor was deemed to be the accounting acquirer (see Note 2), and the Company the legal acquirer. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Vapor, the Company existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. The transaction with Delite was accounted for as a business acquisition and the Company assumed the assets and liabilities of Delite as of March 26, 2014 and the activity of Delite was included from that date forward.


Upon the Company’s acquisition of Vapor, Robin Looban resigned as the Company’s sole director, president, secretary, treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and management members from Vapor were appointed to serve as directors and officers of the Company. As a condition of the closing of the acquisition of Vapor, the Company cancelled 50,928,984 outstanding common shares and retired them in treasury.


Business Overview


Product Description


Vaping devices (as well as electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes) are battery-powered products that allow users to inhale water vapor instead of the smoke, ash, tar and carbon monoxide associated with traditional cigarettes. In contrast to e-cigarettes, vaping devices are often precision manufactured from metallic materials and do not look like traditional cigarettes. Vaping devices, as compared to e-cigarettes, also offer a unique user experience as a result of greater vapor production, enriched taste, and an ability to highly customize a device with different mechanical components and fashionable accessories, including different colors and finishes.


Sourcing


The Company uses third party contract manufacturers to produce and finish its vaping devices from facilities primarily located in Southern California. The Company’s vaping devices (or Mods), which are made from a metallic material such as steel, brass or copper, are custom machined to meet the Company’s design specifications. Once machined, unfinished products are delivered to the Company’s location in Simi Valley or to a third party service provider to be buffed, polished and to add various treatments and embellishments, such as paint and dog tags. Finished products are then held in inventory for distribution and sale. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company relied on one manufacturer to machine all of its Mods.  Although the Company relied on one manufacturer to machine its Mods during the Company’s last fiscal year, the Company believes manufacturing capacity is readily available to meet its current and planned needs. The Company does not currently have any long term agreements in place for the manufacture of its Mods.



47




With respect to the Company’s vaping accessories, the Company purchases batteries from suppliers in China and atomizers from suppliers in the United States, Austria, the Philippines and China. The Company believes that suppliers for accessories are readily available to meet the Company’s current and planned needs.


The Company sources its proprietary E-liquids from an ISO Class 7 certified manufacturer in the USA, which helps ensure their purity and quality. In addition to sourcing its own e-liquids, the Company also purchases e-liquid from other reputable American suppliers for resale through its distribution channels.  


Distribution to Retail Stores


The Company markets and sells its vaping devices and related products to end customers through its websites www.vapor-hub.com and www.smokelessdelite.com, to retail stores through direct sales primarily in the United States but also internationally, and through third party wholesalers who then resell the Company’s products to retailers in their territory. Retailers of the Company’s products include vaping shops throughout the United States as well as convenience stores and several gas stations. Products distributed by the Company include vaping devices and related accessories purchased from third parties for resale as well as the Company’s vaping devices and related accessories, which the Company designs and sources, including the Company’s popular “AR Mechanical Mods”, newly released and popular “Limitless Mechanical Mods”, as well as “Binary Premium e-Liquid”. Prior to its acquisition by the Company on March 26, 2014, the Company’s distribution business was operated by Delite.


Operation of Retail Stores


The Company also sells its products and those of third parties to end consumers directly through its two retail locations located in Southern California. The Company’s first retail location in Simi Valley, CA was 725 square feet and was the first vapor lounge in Simi Valley. On April 1, 2015, the Company moved its Simi Valley retail location to a larger 1,500 square foot facility. The Company’s second location is located in Chatsworth, CA and measures 1,200 square feet. Through its retail locations, the Company sells and markets vaping devices as well as e-liquid, accessories, and supplies relating to vaping devices to both novice users as well as consumers who demand high end technical devices.


The Company opened its retail locations in order to create brand recognition for its products and also to enable the Company to gather information about user preferences in the rapidly evolving vaping industry. By learning about user preferences, the Company believes it is better able to design and source products to meet market demand. Currently, the Company does not have any plans to open additional stores.


NOTE 2 – REVERSE ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING


Since former Vapor security holders owned, after the acquisition, the majority of the Company’s shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of the Company’s executive management are from Vapor, Vapor is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the acquisition of Vapor was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). These audited consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Vapor prior to the exchange transaction and that of the combined company following the exchange transaction, and do not include the historical financial results of Vapor Hub International prior to the completion of the exchange transaction. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-exchange transaction have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the exchange transaction.


NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.



48



Basis of Presentation – Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.


The Company operates in one segment in accordance with accounting guidance Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by FASB ASC Topic 280.


Fiscal Year End


Following the exchange transaction, the Company elected to adopt the June 30 year end of Vapor, the accounting acquirer. As such, the Company has presented activity since the inception of Vapor (July 12, 2013) and has presented the activity of Delite since its acquisition on March 26, 2014.


Going Concern


The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s cash balance as of June 30, 2015 along with continued loss from operations and negative cash flow from operations, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


The Company continues to face liquidity and capital resources constraints and does not believe that the proceeds from its debt facilities (see Note 10) along with its operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet its financing needs for the next twelve months. The extent of the Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s results from operations and the growth rate of the Company’s business. The Company’s near term objective is to raise debt or equity capital to fund its immediate cash needs and to finance its longer term growth. The Company is also pursuing various means to increase revenues, reduce operating costs and to improve overall cash flow.


The Company presently does not have any arrangements for additional financing. However, the Company continues to evaluate various financing strategies to support its current operations and fund its future growth.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates significant estimates and assumptions related to its accounts receivable allowance, accounts payable, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, fair value of derivative liability, fair value of stock options, useful life of fixed assets, inventory reserves, estimates of sales return and accrual for potential liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.



49




Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents.


Concentration of Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions.


The Company relied on one manufacturer to make all of the Company’s Mods during the year ended June 30, 2015.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.


Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement


Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties, and derivative liabilities and convertible notes payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the Company’s cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability is determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which consist of unobservable inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.



50




For retail transactions, revenue is recognized at the point of sale.  For wholesale and online transactions, revenue is recognized at the time goods are shipped.


Deferred Income


The Company accrues deferred income when customer payments are received, but product has not yet shipped. As of June 30, 2014 and 2015, the Company had recorded $307,135 and $82,499, respectively for deferred income as a result of prepayments for product made by customers. Those prepayments are recognized into revenue at the point those prepaid products have subsequently shipped. The Company recognized the $307,135 into revenue during the year ended June 30, 2015. The Company expects to recognize the $82,499 into revenue during the following fiscal year.


Inventories


Inventories consist primarily of vaping devices, electronic cigarettes, e-liquid and related supplies and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment consists of computer equipment, furniture, facility equipment, and leasehold improvements which are carried at historical cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are from 3 to 10 years. Much of the Company’s property and equipment was contributed by shareholders of the Company. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. The modified accelerated cost recovery system (straight line) is used for federal income tax purposes and also for financial reporting as the difference between the two does not appear to be material.


Advertising Expense


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the period from inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014 and the year ended June 30, 2015 was $59,822 and $140,771, respectively and are included in general and administrative expenses.


Accounting for Derivatives Liabilities


The Company evaluates contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity . The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. See Note 10 for disclosure of derivatives and their valuation related to various convertible debt agreements.


Deferred Financing Costs, Net


Costs with respect to the issuance of common stock, warrants, stock options or debt instruments by the Company are initially deferred and ultimately offset against the proceeds from such equity transactions or amortized to interest expense over the term of any debt funding, if successful, or expensed if the proposed equity or debt transaction is unsuccessful.



51




Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share


The Company computes net income per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants or debentures. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2014 and 2015, there were no dilutive securities.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined and income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes determined on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. As of June 30, 2014 and 2015, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $109,000 and $463,000, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2030 unless utilized in earlier years.


When there are uncertainties related to potential income tax benefits, in order to qualify for recognition, the position the Company takes has to have at least a “more likely than not” chance of being sustained (based on the position’s technical merits) upon challenge by the respective authorities. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Otherwise, the Company may not recognize any of the potential tax benefit associated with the position. The Company recognizes a benefit for a tax position that meets the “more likely than not” criterion at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon its effective resolution. Unrecognized tax benefits involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefit being sustained. The final resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in adjustments to recorded amounts and may affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.


The Company reviews its filing positions for all open tax years in all U.S. federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the 2014 Fiscal Period and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and the 2014 Fiscal Period and forward for various states.




52



Stock Based Compensation


Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. However, situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time but the equity award granted to the party performing the service is fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist as the instrument is fully vested on the date of agreement, the Company determines such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instrument granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations over the contract period. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.


For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” the Company performs an analysis of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, the Company uses these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. For the period from inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014 and the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company had $0 and $10,850, respectively, of stock based compensation to employees.


Non-Cash Equity Transactions


Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to current market price.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern. The amendments in this Update provide guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements of the amendment.


On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest – Imputations of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements of the amendment.




53



In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurements of Inventory.” This ASU requires management to evaluate inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted by all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.


The Company has reviewed all other recent accounting pronouncements issued to date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and does not believe any of those pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore, the Company approved a forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares by way of a stock dividend, on a basis of 1:9, pursuant to which, the Company’s stockholders as at January 17, 2014 received eight (8) shares of common stock for each one (1) share of common stock currently held. The pay-out date as approved by the Company’s board of directors and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority was January 17, 2014. The effects of the forward split increased the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares from 8,998,776 common shares to 80,988,984 common shares on such date. The effects of the forward split have been applied on a retroactive basis.


On February 14, 2014, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vapor and Delite in exchange for 38,000,001 common shares of the Company, which are the founders’ shares. The transaction was completed in two stages – with the acquisition of Vapor closing on March 14, 2014 and the acquisition of Delite closing on March 26, 2014. In connection with the acquisition of Vapor on March 14, 2014, the Company canceled 50,928,984 common shares and issued a convertible debenture of approximately $185,000 (see Note 10). Vapor was treated as the accounting acquirer and the equity accounts were retroactively recapitalized to the date of Vapor’s inception at July 12, 2013. In connection with this transaction the Company recorded the outstanding equity of the legal acquirer of 80,988,984 common shares and the concurrent cancelation of the 50,928,984 common shares.

Stock-Option Plans


On February 2, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company and holders of 55.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or 38,000,001 shares of 68,060,001 issued and outstanding shares) acting by written consent approved the adoption of the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).


The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance-based awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments and deferred stock units to eligible participants. Eligible participants include officers, employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisers. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 20,400,000, subject to adjustment as described in the 2015 Plan. The outstanding options (each of which were granted on June 30, 2015) each have an exercise price of $0.0419 per share of Common Stock.


The Company estimates the fair value of each option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model.  The following assumptions were made in estimating the fair value:


 

 

2015

 

Annual dividend yield

 

-

 

Expected life (years)

 

5

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

1.63

%

Expected volatility

 

121.10

%

Fair value of options granted

 

0.035

 


The expected volatility was estimated by calculating the standard deviation of daily price changes in the Company’s stock from the date of inception to the date of the grant and the five year constant maturity treasury rate on the date of the grant was used for the risk free rate. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the employees’ or service provider’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense included in the accompanying statements of operations for the period from inception (July 12, 2013) to June 30, 2014 and for the year ended June 30, 2015 is $0 and $10,850, respectively.


Stock option awards vested immediately on the date of grant, as a result there is no unrecognized compensation as of June 30, 2015.


A summary of stock option activity is as follows:

Notes Issued to Gotama Capital S.A.


On March 14, 2014, the Company closed the first of three tranches of a financing transaction pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. At the closing, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $185,000 to Gotama Capital S.A. in exchange for cash proceeds of $185,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, with interest being payable on May 15th of each year that the note remains outstanding. The principal amount of the note is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s election or the election of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the greater of $0.15 or 90% of the average closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. Unless earlier converted or repaid, the principal amount of the note is due and payable on March 14, 2017. On April 10, 2014, the Company closed the second tranche of the financing contemplated pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. At the closing, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 to the same investor in exchange for cash proceeds of $200,000. The note has the same terms as the note described above, except that unless earlier converted or repaid, the principal amount of the note is due and payable on April 10, 2017. On May 19, 2014, the Company closed the third tranche of the financing contemplated pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. At the closing, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $175,000 to the same investor in exchange for cash proceeds of $149,881 and $25,000 of expenses paid on behalf of the Company, which the Company immediately recorded as its own expense. The note has the same terms as the notes described above, except that unless earlier converted or repaid, the principal amount of the note is due and payable on May 19, 2017. The Company may prepay the principal amount of the notes at any time, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the holder.

Note Issued to Typenex Co-Investment, LLC.


On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company concurrently issued to Investor a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of $1,687,500 (the “Company Note”). The principal amount includes an original issue discount of $80,000 plus an additional $7,500 to cover Investor's due diligence and legal fees in connection with the transaction. In consideration for the Company Note, Investor issued a series of promissory notes aggregating to the sum of $1,600,000 (the “Purchase Price”), consisting of an initial cash disbursement of $200,000 and the issuance to the Company of ten promissory notes, the first two promissory notes in a principal amount of $100,000 each and the remaining eight promissory notes in a principal amount of $150,000 (each an “Investor Note” and collectively, the “Investor Notes”). The Company Note and the Investor Notes each bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on April 4, 2019 and the Company’s obligations under the Company Note are secured by liens on the Investor Notes pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into by the Company in favor of the Investor. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may prepay the Company Note by making a payment equal to 125% of the then outstanding balance (including interest and other fees and amounts due). Each of the Investor Notes may be prepaid (and the Company may receive additional funds under the facility in excess of the initial $200,000 cash proceeds) only upon the mutual agreement of the parties.


On January 16, 2015, upon the mutual agreement of the parties, the Investor paid to the Company the sum of $102,028 as a prepayment of all of its obligations owed to the Company under the first Investor Note in the original principal amount of $100,000 dated November 4, 2014, issued by the Investor in favor of the Company.


The first two tranches were issued with an original issue discount of $20,472, of which $3,226 has been amortized to interest expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, resulting in an unamortized balance of $17,246.


The Company recognized an additional debt discount of $48,975 on the first two tranches for the original fair value recognition of the derivative liability (discussed further below), of which $6,125 has been amortized to interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, resulting in an unamortized balance of $42,850.


Beginning on May 4, 2015, the Company is required to repay the outstanding balance on the Company Note in monthly installments of approximately $35,000 per month plus all unpaid interest and other costs, fees or charges under the Company Note. Payment may be made in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in shares of the Company’s common stock or any combination of cash and shares. If payments are made in shares (each, an “Installment Conversion”), such installments or portions thereof are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lesser of (i) a conversion price of $0.10, subject to adjustment or (ii) a price that is equal to 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock in the twenty trading days immediately preceding such conversion, subject to a floor of $0.01. In addition, on the date that is twenty trading days from the date the Company delivers installment shares to Investor, there is a true-up where the Company is required to deliver additional shares if the installment conversion price as of the true-up date is less than the installment conversion price used to deliver the initial shares.




59




Beginning on May 4, 2015, all or any amount of a conversion eligible tranche (as described below) under the Company Note is convertible, at the option of the Investor (each, a “Lender Conversion”), into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and other adjustments described in the Company Note (the “Conversion Price”). The Company Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock by Investor in eleven tranches consisting of an initial tranche of $217,500 plus interest and other amounts due which may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price at any time on or after May 4, 2015 and ten additional tranches (each a “Subsequent Tranche”), two of which are in the amount of $105,000 plus interest and other amounts due and eight of which are in the amount of $157,500 plus interest and other amounts due. Each Subsequent Tranche may not be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock unless the Investor has paid in full the Investor Note corresponding to such tranche, which payment requires the Company’s consent. On January 16, 2015, the Investor paid to the Company the sum of $102,028 as a prepayment of all of its obligations owed to the Company under the first Investor Note and consequently the first Subsequent Tranche of $105,000 plus interest and other amounts due may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price at the option of the Investor at any time on or after May 4, 2015. Subject to certain conditions based on the trading volume and trading price of the Company’s common stock, the Company may also elect to convert the entire outstanding balance under the Company Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price.


If the Company fails to repay the Company Note when due, or if the Company is otherwise in default under the Company Note, at the option of Investor a default interest rate of 22% per annum will apply on all conversion eligible portions of the Company Note while the default continues. In the event the Company is in default under the Company Note, the Investor also has the option to accelerate the note with the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable or increase the outstanding balance of the note by an amount of 5% or 15% depending on the particular default. In addition, if the Company fails to issue stock to the Investor within three trading days of receipt of a notice of conversion, the Company must pay a penalty equal to the greater of (i) $500 per day; or (ii) 2% of the product of (A) the number of shares to which Investor was entitled that were not issued on a timely basis; and (B) the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the last day for us to timely issue the shares.


The Company Note provides that the Investor maintains a right of offset that, under certain circumstances, permits the Investor to deduct amounts owed by the Company under the Company Note from amounts otherwise owed by Investor under the Investor Notes. In addition, the Company is permitted at any time to deduct and offset any amount owing by the Investor under the Investor Notes from any amount owed by the Company under the Company Note. Since the Company Note and the Investor Notes may be offset against each other, they are recorded on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.


On June 30, 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Company Note, the Company elected to deduct and offset the principal amount of $1,300,000 and all accrued interest thereon owing by the Investor under the remaining nine Investor Notes from the amount owed by the Company under the Company Note, leaving an outstanding balance of $252,188 under the Company Note as of June 30, 2015 and total unamortized debt discount of $60,096.


The Company Note provides that Investor may not convert the Company Note in an amount which would cause Investor to own more than 4.99%, or if the Company’s market capitalization (as defined in the Company Note) is less than $10,000,000, more than 9.99%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock.


The Company paid Pyrenees Investments $20,000 as a finder’s fee (equal to 10% of the gross proceeds) in connection with the first closing, $10,020 in connection with the second closing, and $16,000 as discussed in Note 11. The total finder’s fee of $46,020 was capitalized as deferred issuance costs and amortized over the term of the respective notes. As of June 30, 2015 unamortized deferred issuance costs were $39,258. Finance fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 were $6,762.




60




The Company evaluated the Company Note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and concluded that the note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480.


The Company then evaluated the Company Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the Lender Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company, the Company determined that the Lender Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” the Company’s stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also determined that the Lender Conversion feature of the Company Note meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the Company Note and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company recorded an original valuation of $48,975 for the derivative liability. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a derivative liability of $68,584 and reflected a change in derivative liability of $19,609 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2015.


The Company further concluded that because of the conversion floor of $0.01 on Installment Conversions and because the Company has the right at any time to offset the Investor Notes from the Company Note, the following features of the Company Note do not meet the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the Company Note and accounted for as a derivative liability: the Installment Conversion feature of the Company Note, the default and remedy provisions of the Company Note, the Company’s option to settle a Lender Conversion in cash in the event the Investor elects to convert subsequent to the occurrence of an event of default under the Company Note and the Company’s prepayment option under the Company Note.


Derivative Liabilities


The convertible notes discussed above contain conversion features that result in an embedded derivative. The Company has recorded the fair value of each derivative as described above as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. The change in fair value was recorded as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015.


In arriving at fair-value estimates, the Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair-value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the fair value hierarchy, the fair-value measurement is characterized based upon the lowest level input. For the Company, recurring fair-value measurements are performed for the derivative liability.


The derivative liability is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not have any liabilities that reduce risk associated with hedging exposure and has not designated the derivative liability as a hedge instrument.


The Company did not have any derivatives valued using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs as of June 30, 2015. The Company categorized the derivative liability as Level 3 with a fair value of $68,584 as of June 30, 2015 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company used the following input ranges: stock price $0.0099-$0.029; expected term 3.9-4.4 years; risk-free rate 0.26%-1.63%; and volatility 107.5%-245.7%. Unobservable inputs were the prevailing interest rates, the Company’s stock volatility and the expected term.


There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 categories. Level 3 as of June 30, 2014 was $0; Level 3 additions for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 were $48,975 for the initial recognition with $19,609 valuation adjustment at June 30, 2015 ; Level 3 at June 30, 2015  was $68,584.

Interest does not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Note unless an event of default occurs.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding balance of the Note will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  In addition, if an event of default occurs under the Note, the Investor may declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due under the Note to be immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding balance of the Note as of the date of the applicable event of default, plus all interest, fees and charges that may accrue on such outstanding balance thereafter.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2015, our Board approved the engagement of Hartley Moore Accountancy Corporation as our independent registered public accounting firm effective March 30, 2015. There were no disagreements or reportable events related to the change in accountants requiring disclosure under Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.


ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Company’s disclosure controls are not effective due to limited accounting and reporting personnel and a lack of expertise and segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our company. We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.


Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Our management believes that all internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation.  Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time. Our management believes that the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.


A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that result in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.



66




Management has conducted, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of June 30, 2015, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective primarily due to the limited size of our staff and budget.


The Company's management has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting related to the following matters:


·

A lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on defective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard Company assets.

·

A lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to the Company's limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform certain tasks as it relates to financial reporting.


The Company's plan to remediate those material weaknesses is as follows:


To improve the effectiveness of the accounting group, the company uses the firm of Winther and Company CPA’s to augment existing resources, to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions.  The Company also recently hired a full-time accounting manager to maintain the Company’s books and records under the supervision of the CFO.  The Company plans to further mitigate its accounting deficiencies by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once it generates significantly more revenue, or raises significant additional working capital.


The company is also in the process of adopting specific internal control mechanisms with its Board of Directors’ and executive officers’ collaboration to ensure effectiveness as the company grows. The company is presently engaging an outside consultant to assist in adopting new measures to improve upon its internal controls. Future controls, among other things, will include more checks and balances and communication strategies between the management and the Board of Directors to ensure efficient and effective oversight over company activities as well as more stringent accounting policies to track and update the company’s financial reporting.


This Annual Report does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this Annual Report.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

None.

Director Independence


Our board of directors currently consists of five members –Kyle Winther, Lori Winther, Niels Winther, Gary Jacob Perlingos and Justin Moreno– with no vacancies. Because our common stock is not currently listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange, we are not subject to their respective rules requiring independent directors and we currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent director” is defined by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) or New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.02.  We anticipate seeking independent directors in the future as we seek to establish effective corporate governance procedures to oversee our audit, compensation and nominating functions.  However, there can be no assurance as to whether or when we will be successful in appointing any independent directors.  Currently, our entire board of directors functions as our audit committee.  


We have determined that Niels Winther qualifies as an audit committee “financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and that each of our other board members are able to read and understand financial statements.  


We do not have a nominating committee for persons to be proposed as directors for election to our board of directors. The duties and functions performed by such committee are performed by our board of directors. We do not have any restrictions on stockholder nominations under our articles of incorporation, however, our bylaws do contain advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations for directors. Other restrictions are those applicable generally under the Nevada Revised Statutes and the federal proxy rules. Currently, our entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of one or more members of our board of directors. We are not a “listed issuer” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have a nominating committee comprised of independent directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file.


Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us and written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant Section 16(a) filing requirements, other than as follows the Company is not aware of any instances of noncompliance with the Section 16(a) filing requirements by any executive officer, director and or beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities during the year ended June 30, 2015:  one report on Form 3 was filed late by each of Lori Winther, Niels Winther, Kyler Winther, Gary Jacob Perlingos and Justin Moreno.


Indemnification

 

We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and bylaws and to the statutory provisions.


In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person is not liable due to conduct that constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and were not unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which the person seeking indemnity has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to our company unless the court in which the action or suit was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court deems proper. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of our board of directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of our stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified. Under our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, we will advance expenses incurred by officers, directors, employees or agents who are parties to or are threatened to made parties to any threatened, pending or completed action by reason of the fact that such person was serving in such capacity, prior to the disposition of such action and promptly following request therefor, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such advances if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to indemnification. 


The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought on our behalf is generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to such actions, indemnification is granted only with respect to expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action. Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which may be entered in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and we have obtained such a policy.


A stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.



70




Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.


Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our Board members and to all of our employees and executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics constitutes a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable SEC rules.  Our Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is posted on our Internet website located at www.vapor-hub.com in the section titled “Investors.” You may also request a copy of the Code of Ethics without charge by writing or calling us at:

Any amendment or waiver of the Code of Ethics pertaining to a member of our Board or one of our executive officers will be disclosed on our website within four business days.

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers.  We did not grant bonuses to our executive officers in 2015 in an effort to preserve cash.


On February 2, 2015, our Board of Directors and holders of 55.8% of our outstanding common stock (or 38,000,001 shares of 68,060,001 issued and outstanding shares) acting by written consent approved the adoption of our 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).  The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance-based awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments and deferred stock units to eligible participants. Eligible participants include officers, employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisers. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 20,400,000, subject to adjustment as described in the 2015 Plan.  As of October 1, 2015, none of our executive officers other than Justin Moreno have received awards under our 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.


Employee Contracts


On March 24, 2014, we entered into an Interim Agreement for the Appointment of Chief Executive Officer with Andrew Birnbaum pursuant to which Mr. Birnbaum served as our Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the company.  The agreement was to remain effective until both parties executed a final agreement.  On July 8, 2014, Mr. Birnbaum resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the company.


Pursuant to the interim agreement, Mr. Birnbaum received a monthly salary of $20,000 and a monthly vehicle allowance of $1,000.  The agreement also contemplated the issuance of 6,600,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Birnbaum, a bonus payment similar to any bonuses granted to other executives and a bonus of 15% of net profits received from certain internet related assets provided by Mr. Birnbaum to the company. No bonuses were earned by or paid to Mr. Birnbaum during his tenure with the company.


On October 8, 2014, but effective as of September 30, 2014, the Company and Mr. Birnbaum entered into an Employment Separation and General Release agreement (the “Release Agreement”) in connection with Mr. Birnbaum’s resignation from the Company on July 8, 2014.  The Release Agreement has the effect of terminating, effective as of July 8, 2014, the Interim Agreement for the Appointment of the Chief Executive Officer entered into between the Company and Mr. Birnbaum on March 24, 2014.  


The Release Agreement provides that all remaining rights and obligations of the Company and Mr. Birnbaum under the interim agreement are terminated as of July 8, 2014, including all rights of Mr. Birnbaum to receive 6,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.


Other than as described above, we have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers.

each of our directors;

all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

74




In general, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, through the exercise of a warrant or stock option, conversion of a convertible security or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, each person in the table will have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. For purposes of this table, shares not outstanding which are subject to issuance on exercises of stock options or conversion of a note that are held by one or more person(s) are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage(s) of outstanding shares beneficially owned by such person(s) but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage for any other person. The table assumes a total of 72,455,606 shares of our common stock outstanding as of October 13, 2015.  Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the executive officers and directors and greater than 5% stockholders named below is c/o Vapor Hub International Inc., 1871 Tapo Street, Simi Valley, CA 93063.
