NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION, GOING CONCERN, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Vapor Corp. (the
“Company” or “Vapor”) is a retailer of vaporizers, e-liquids and electronic cigarettes. The Company
operates thirteen vape retail stores in the Southeast of the United States of America. Vapor offers e-liquids,
vaporizers, e-cigarettes and related products through its vape retail stores and online. The Company sold its wholesale
business on July 31, 2016. The sale of the wholesale business was not contemplated prior to July 1, 2016. The sale of the
wholesale vapor business qualifies as a discontinued operations and accordingly the Company has excluded results for
the wholesale business operations from the Company’s continuing operations in the unaudited condensed
consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.
On June 1, 2016, the Company acquired
the assets that comprised the business of Ada’s Whole Food Market LLC, a natural and organic grocery store,
through its wholly owned subsidiary Healthy Choice Markets, Inc. The grocery store has been a leader in the natural grocery market
in Fort Myers, Florida for the past 40 years, offering fresh, natural and organic products and specializing in facilitating
a healthy, well balanced lifestyle. In addition to a comprehensive selection of vitamins and health & beauty products, the
grocery store provides a fresh café and an organic juice bar.
Going Concern and Liquidity
The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern and realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of any uncertainties related to our going concern assessment. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the
financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.
In July 2015, the Company closed a registered
public offering of 3,761,657 Units (the “Units”). Collectively, the Units consisted of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into shares of common stock and Series A Warrants exercisable into
54 shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”). The Units separated into the Series A Preferred Stock and Series
A Warrants as of January 25, 2016. (See Note 11- Stockholders’ Deficit – Series A Unit Public Offering.)
Holders of Series A Warrants may exercise
such warrants by paying the exercise price in cash or, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, by electing to receive
a cash payment from us (subject to certain conditions not being met by the Company) equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined
in the Series A Warrant) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) the holder
elects to exercise, which we refer to as the Black Scholes Payment; provided that we have discretion as to whether to deliver the
Black Scholes Payment or, subject to meeting certain conditions, to deliver shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common
Stock that the Company is obligated to issue in connection with the exercise of the Series A Warrants is based on the closing bid
price of the Common Stock two trading days prior to the date of exercise.
On May 2, 2016, the OTCQB staff notified
the Company that, based upon its non-compliance with the minimum $0.01 bid price requirement for the prior 30 consecutive business
days, the Company – in accordance with the OTCQB Standards – had been provided a grace period through October
31, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company’s common stock bid price did
not close at or above $0.01 for a period of ten consecutive trading days prior to October 31, 2016, the Company would move to
the OTC Pink marketplace.
On October 31, 2016, the Company received
notice from OTC Markets Group that the Company's common stock would be moved from the OTCQB to the OTC Pink marketplace on November
1, 2016, as a result of the Company's failure to cure its bid price deficiency. On November 1, 2016, the date of the
delisting
from OTCQB, the
Company no longer meets the “Equity Conditions” required to allow the Company to elect to issue
common stock to fulfill a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1(d) of its Series A Warrants. Holders of the Series A Warrants
may still undertake a cashless exercise of their warrants and agree to permit the Company to issue common stock to fulfill such
exercise.
On June 24, 2016, the Company determined
that it had insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to allow for the exercise of the Series A Warrants or stock options,
or allow the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. On August 4, 2016 an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation was filed to increase the number of shares of the authorized common stock from 5,000,000,000 to 750,000,000,000.
If all of the warrants were exercised simultaneously at stock prices lower than $0.0001, the Company would not have sufficient
authorized common stock to satisfy all the warrant exercises and it may be required to use cash
to pay Series A warrant holders.
Since it is not possible to predict the future stock price or when the warrant holders will exercise warrants and sell the underlying
common shares, management cannot predict if the Company will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its obligation to the current
warrant holders. The amounts payable to the holders of the Series A Warrants if all such warrants were fully exercised as of November
11, 2016 on a cashless basis would be approximately $64 million, using a Black Scholes Value of approximately $1,516,896
per Series A Warrant.
The Company reported a net loss of approximately
$19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company also had negative working capital of approximately $33.4
million and a total stockholders’ deficit of approximately $28 million as of September 30, 2016. The Company expects
to continue incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future and may need to satisfy exercises of Series A Warrants on a
cashless basis. Accordingly, the material uncertainty related to the exercise of Series A Warrants and the sufficiency of cash
reserves to satisfy obligations related to such exercises raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
Notice of Late Filing
In connection with the sale of the
Company’s wholesale vapor business and acquisition of Ada’s Whole Food Market LLC (“Ada’s”).
during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company was required to file a Form 8-K with Ada’s
audited financial statements, unaudited interim financial statements, and pro forma financial statements within 4
days and 75 days of the closing of the respective disposition and acquisition transactions. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) notified the Company that it could not review its future registration statements effective
until such time as the Company furnished two years of audited financial statements of Ada’s Whole Food Market
LLC as the acquisition was deemed significant.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement
date.
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Vapor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Healthy Choice Markets, Inc., The Vape
Store, Inc. (“Vape Store”), Vaporin, Inc. (“Vaporin”), Smoke Anywhere U.S.A., Inc.
(“Smoke”), Emagine the Vape Store, LLC (“Emagine”), IVGI Acquisition, Inc., Vapormax Franchising
LLC., Vaporin LLC., and Vaporin Florida, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
On February 1, 2016, the Company filed
an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized Common Stock to 5,000,000,000, and change its
par value to $0.0001 per share. On March 4, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to
effectuate a one-for-seventy reverse stock split to its Common Stock. On June 1, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate
of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-twenty thousand reverse stock split to its Common Stock. On August 4, 2016, the
Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the authorized
common stock from 5,000,000,000 to 750,000,000,000. All warrant, convertible preferred stock, option, common stock shares and
per share information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements gives retroactive effect to the
aforementioned reverse splits of the Company’s common stock. (See Note 11- Stockholders’ Deficit for additional
details regarding the Company’s authorized capital.)
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by the Company and reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. The results of operations for the interim periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Certain information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed
or omitted under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and notes included herein
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year as filed with the SEC on April
8, 2016.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. No changes
to the Company’s net loss were made as a result of such reclassifications.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements
The preparation of unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include allowances, reserves and write-downs of receivables
and inventory, valuing equity securities and hybrid instruments, share-based payment arrangements, and deferred taxes and related
valuation allowances, and the valuation of assets and liabilities in business combinations. Certain of our estimates could be affected
by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external
factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates
all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product
sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured.
Vapor retail sales revenues are recorded
at the point of sale when both title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer. The Company periodically provides incentive
offers to its customers to encourage vapor product purchases. Such offers include discounts and rebates. Discounts offered to customers are reflected as a reduction to the sales price. Vapor wholesale product sales revenues,
net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped, title passes to customers
and collection is reasonably assured. The Company sold its wholesale business in July 2016, and the vapor wholesale product sales
are classified as discontinued operations for all financial reporting periods presented. Return allowances, which reduce product
revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Vapor revenue from product sales is recorded net of sales and consumption
taxes.
Grocery merchandise sales are recognized
at the point of sale to the customer. Sales tax is excluded from revenue. Discounts provided to customers through in-store and
manufacturers coupons and loyalty programs are recognized as a reduction of sales as the products are sold.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In
connection with this review, the Company also reevaluates the depreciable lives for these assets. The Company assesses recoverability
by determining whether the net book value of the related asset will be recovered through the projected undiscounted future cash
flows of the asset. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, it measures any impairment
based on the projected future discounted cash flows as compared to the asset’s carrying value.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).
The Company’s short term financial instruments include cash, due from merchant credit card processors, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, each of which approximate their fair values based upon their short term nature. The Company’s
other financial instruments include derivative liabilities. The carrying value of these instruments
approximates fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market value, for obligations with similar terms and maturities.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes
a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 –
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities
in active market or inputs that are observable; and Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
for employees and directors under ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). These
standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of
stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period.
The value of the stock-based award is determined using an appropriate valuation model, whereby compensation cost is the fair value
of the award as determined by the valuation model at the grant date. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line
basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The Company considers
many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Stock-based
compensation for non-employees is measured at the grant date, is re-measured at subsequent vesting dates and reporting dates, and
is amortized over the service period.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for free-standing
derivative instruments and hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”), as well as related interpretations of this topic. In accordance
with this topic, derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair
values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract
are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The
Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate
valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.
The Company estimates fair values of derivative
instruments and hybrid instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with
the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the
nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For complex instruments, the
Company utilizes custom Monte Carlo simulation models. For less complex instruments, such as free-standing warrants, the Company
generally uses the Binomial Lattice model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions
(including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating
fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and
are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition,
option-based techniques (such as the Binomial Lattice model or the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model) are highly volatile and
sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Common Stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and
subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s net income (loss) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates
and assumption changes. Under ASC 815, increases in the trading price of the Common Stock and increases in fair value during a
given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative losses. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of
the Common Stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative
gains.
Sequencing Policy
Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company has adopted
a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary
pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company's inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated
on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation
of shares.
Preferred Stock
The Company applies the accounting standards
for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Shares that
are subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company
classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which include preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either
within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control, as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders' equity.
Treasury Stock
When the Company acquires its own common stock (“treasury
stock”), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of tax), is deducted from
equity. No gain is recognized on the purchase, sale, or cancellation of the treasury stock. When a loss
results from the purchase of treasury stock at a premium, the related costs are expensed in the period incurred. The
difference between the carrying amount and the consideration on sale is recognized as capital surplus.
Discontinued Operations
On July 31, 2016, the Company sold its
wholesale inventory and related operations. The sale of the wholesale business qualifies as discontinued operations and accordingly
the Company has excluded results for the wholesale business operations from the Company’s continuing operations in the unaudited
condensed consolidating Statements of Operations for all periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15 (Topic 230), “Statement
of Cash Flows Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new standard will make eight targeted changes
to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable
to apply, in which case the Company would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated cash flows
and related disclosures.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10
(Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU2-16-10”).
ASU 2016-10 clarifies the principle for determining whether a good or service is “separately identifiable” from other
promises in the contract and, therefore, should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In that regard, ASU 2016-10
requires that an entity determine whether its promise is to transfer individual goods or services to the customer, or a combined
item (or items) to which the individual goods and services are inputs. In addition, ASU 2016-10 categorizes intellectual property,
or IP, into two categories: “functional” and “symbolic.” Functional IP has significant standalone functionality.
All other IP is considered symbolic IP. Revenue from licenses of functional IP is generally recognized at a point in time, while
revenue from licenses of symbolic IP is recognized over time. ASU 2016-10 has the same effective date and transition requirements
as ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of ASU 2016-10 will have
on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation
– Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects
of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either
equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its consolidated
financial statements or disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus
Net). This ASU amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),
which was issued in May 2014 (“ASU 2014-09”). The effective date and transition requirements for the amendment to ASU
2014-09 are the same as those of ASU 2014-09, which was deferred for one year by ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. That is, the guidance under these standards is to be applied using a full retrospective
method or a modified retrospective method, as outlined in the guidance, and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for annual periods, and interim
periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of each
of these standards and assessing their impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use
(“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet
for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification
affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2018, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition
approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. SALE OF WHOLESALE BUSINESS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 29, 2016, the Company,
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Wholesale Business Purchase Agreement”) with VPR Brands, L.P. (the
“Purchaser”) and the Purchaser’s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Frija (the former Chief Executive Officer
of the Company) pursuant to which the Company sold its wholesale vapor inventory and the related business operations
(collectively, “Wholesale Business Assets”), which previously operated at 3001 Griffin Road, Dania Beach, Florida
33312 and to purchase 1,405,910,203 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Mr. Frija. The sale transaction
was approved by the Company’s Board of Director’s on July 26, 2016 and completed on July 31, 2016. The
consideration for the Wholesale Business Assets is (i) the transfer to the Company by Mr. Frija of 1,405,910,203 shares of
the Company’s common stock that he had acquired on the open market; (ii) a secured, one-year promissory note in the
principal amount of $370,000 (the “Acquisition Note”) bearing an interest rate of 4.5%, which payments thereunder
are $10,000 monthly, with such payments commencing on October 28, 2016, with a balloon payment of the remainder of principal
and interest on July 29, 2017; (iii) A secured, 36-month promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 bearing
an interest rate of prime plus 2%, resetting annually on July 29
th
,which payments thereunder are $14,000 per
month, with such payments deferred and commencing on January 26, 2017, with subsequent installments payable on the same day
of each
month thereafter and in the
37
th
month, a balloon payment for all remaining accrued interest and principal; and (iv) the assumption by
the Purchaser of certain liabilities related to the Company’s wholesale operations, including but not limited to the
month-to-month lease for the premises. Pursuant to the Wholesale Business Purchase Agreement, the Company shall
continue to collect the accounts receivable from its wholesale operations as of July 29, 2016. The Company agreed to
use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with standard industry practice, to collect such accounts receivable, and
any and all amounts so collected (i) up to $150,000 (net of any refunds) in the aggregate shall be credited against payment
of the Acquisition Note; and (ii) in excess of $150,000 (up to $95,800) will be transferred to the Purchaser’s Chief
Executive Officer. The Company incurred costs to buy back it shares of its Common Stock in conjunction with the
sale of its wholesale vapor business. The costs includes approximately $43,000 of discounts on the notes receivable to
related party, that were issued at below market rates, and $35,000 of professional fees. These costs were recorded as
incurred as selling general and administrative expense, a component of the loss from discontinued operations.

Due from related party:
Subsequent to the transfer of the
wholesale business, the Company sold and purchased inventory to/from the Purchaser and incurred costs on behalf of the Purchaser
during a transition period. The net amount due from the Purchaser was $75,130 at September 30, 2016.
Note 4. ACQUISITION OF ADA’S NATURAL MARKET
On June 1, 2016, the Company’s wholly
owned subsidiary Healthy Choice Markets Inc., entered into a Business Sale Agreement with Ada’s Whole Food Market LLC (the
“Seller”) to purchase certain operating assets and assumed certain payables and a store lease obligation related
to that constituted the business of Ada’s Natural Market grocery store (the “Grocery Acquisition”). The Company
operates the grocery store under the same name, location, and management. The Company also entered into an employment agreement
with the store manager.
The purchase consideration paid to the
Seller was allocated to the preliminary fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, with the remainder recorded as goodwill
on a preliminary basis. Goodwill recognized from the transaction mainly represented the expected operational synergies upon acquisition
of the combined entity and intangibles not qualifying for separate recognition. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income
tax purposes in the tax jurisdiction of the acquired business. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based, in part, on
management’s knowledge of Ada’s Natural Market business and the results of a third party appraisal commissioned by
management for equipment.

The unaudited pro-forma results of operations
are presented for information purposes only and are based on estimated financial operations. The unaudited pro-forma results of
operations are not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisition been completed as of January
1, 2015 or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods.
Note 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Prior to the second quarter of 2016, the
Company had a single reportable business segment, as it was a distributor and retailer of vapor products including vaporizers,
e-liquids and electronic cigarettes. On June 1, 2016, the Company completed the Grocery Acquisition (See Note 4) and added a reportable
segment. On July 31, 2016, the Company sold its wholesale vapor inventory and related business operations. The Company
has excluded the results for the wholesale vapor business, as discontinued operations, from the Company’s continuing
operations for all periods presented. Management determines the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used by our
Chief Operating Decision Makers to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. The Company evaluates segment
performance based on the segment gross profit before corporate expenses.

Note 6. MERGER WITH VAPORIN, INC.
On December 17, 2014, the Company entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Vaporin (the “Merger”) pursuant to which Vaporin was to merge with and into
the Company with the Company being the surviving and controlling entity (as a result of the stockholders of the Company maintaining
more than 50% ownership in the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Vapor directors comprising the majority
of the board at the date of the Merger). The Merger closed on March 4, 2015 and was accounted for as a business combination.
The following presents the unaudited pro-forma
combined results of operations of the Company with Vaporin as if the Merger occurred on January 1, 2015.

The unaudited pro-forma results of operations
are presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not intended to present actual results

as of any future date or for any future periods.
Note 7. RETAIL VAPOR STORES AND KIOSKS
Retail Stores
During 2015, the Company acquired the assets
and business operations of established retail vapor stores. The purchase prices were generally allocated to inventory, leasehold
improvements, fixtures, security deposits, intangible assets, and goodwill. No liabilities were assumed from the sellers and the
Company has no obligation to retain existing employees.
The Company holds back a portion of the
sellers’ purchase price for three to nine months during the operational transition period (the “hold back period”).
If the stores’ gross minimum revenues during the holdback period do not reach an amount agreed upon by the Company and the
respective seller at closing, then the hold back amount due to the seller is reduced in the final settlement. The holdback amount
due to sellers of $860,000 was recorded in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2015 as the achievement of the minimum revenue milestones
are considered probable. The hold back liability is considered contingent consideration recorded at fair value at each respective
acquisition date and is re-measured each reporting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made $220,000
of aggregate holdback payments and the remaining holdback amount as of September 30, 2016 included in accrued expenses is $640,000.
The accounting and reporting of the acquired
vape retail store operations were fully integrated into the Company at dates of the individual acquisitions and it is impracticable
to separate them. Unaudited pro-forma combined results of operations of the Company are not presented, as it is unfeasible to obtain
complete, reliable and financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The prior owners of the retail store businesses
were individuals without reporting requirements and, accordingly, the financial data available is incomplete, inconsistent, and
the presentation would not add value to the Company’s pro-forma financial disclosure.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the
Company ceased its plans to increase the number of vape retail stores due to adverse industry trends and increasing federal and
state regulations. After evaluating retail store operations, management decided to close two of its Atlanta area vape retail stores
on February 15, 2016, and September 30, 2016, respectively, and five of its Florida retail vapor stores were closed between May
31, and September 30, 2016. In connection with the vape retail store closing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the
Company incurred approximately $332,503 of exit costs including $181,153 of settlement of non-cancellable lease obligations,
and $103,312 of loss on abandonment or disposal of property and equipment, and $48,038 loss on write-off of inventory and
other exit costs.
Note 8. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY
In connection with the sale of its wholesale
business, the Company entered into two notes receivable with the Purchaser, a related party. (See Note 3 for additional
details.) As consideration for the sale of wholesale inventory and business the Company received a secured, one-year promissory
note in the principal amount of $370,000 (the “Acquisition Note”) bearing an interest rate of 4.5%, which payments
thereunder are $10,000 monthly, with such payments commencing on October 28, 2016, with a balloon payment of the remainder of
principal and interest due on July 29, 2017.
In connection with the sale of the
wholesale business, the Purchaser and the Company also entered into a secured, 36-month promissory note in the principal
amount of $500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) bearing an interest rate of prime plus 2%, resetting annually on July 29
th
,
which payments thereunder are $14,000 per month, with such payments deferred and commencing on January 26, 2017, with subsequent
installments payable on the same day of each month thereafter and in the 37
th
month, and a balloon payment for all
remaining accrued interest and principal due on July 29, 2019.
The rates of interest for both the Acquisition Note and
the Promissory Notes were below market rates. Discounts were recorded to reflect the interest that would be received a market
rate, approximating 12%. The discount is accreted over the terms of the loans.
The composition of notes receivable from
related party balances and unamortized discounts are in the following table:

Note 9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the premium paid over
the fair value of the intangible and net tangible assets acquired in the Merger and other retail and grocery store business acquisitions.
The Company assesses the carrying value of its goodwill on at least an annual basis. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016,
management assessed relevant events and circumstances in evaluating whether it was more likely than not that its fair values were
less than the respective carrying amounts of the acquired subsidiaries pursuant to ASC 350, “Intangibles, Goodwill and Other”.
The Company then evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill by estimating the fair value of its consolidated business operations
through the use of discounted cash flow models, which required management to make significant judgments as to the estimated future
cash flows. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company revised its plans to increase the number of vape retail stores due to
changes in the industry and increasing federal and state regulations that may potentially reduce both wholesale and retail revenues.
The ceased vape retail store expansion plan and potential reduction in revenue resulting from pending regulations adversely impacted
the Company’s projected cash flows and profits. Accordingly, the Company’s goodwill was evaluated for impairment. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s wholesale and online operations did not generate positive cash flows
and are projected to continue incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future. As a result of such analyses, the Company
concluded that goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charges of $1,199,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine
months ended September 30, 2016 is as follows:

The Company records an impairment charge
on its intangible assets if it determines that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value is not recoverable
if it exceeds the undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. When the Company determines
that the carrying value of its intangible assets may not be recoverable, the Company measures the potential impairment based on
a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by its management to be commensurate with the risk inherent
in its current business model. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeds its
estimated fair value. An impairment charge is recorded to reduce the pre-impairment carrying amount of the intangible assets to
their estimated fair value. Determining the fair value is highly judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates
and assumptions considered to be Level 3 fair value inputs, including anticipated future revenue opportunities, operating margins,
and discount rates, among others. The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on the income approach,
as it was deemed to be most indicative of the Company’s fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company determined its trade names and technology carrying value exceeded
the potential cash flow from their disposition. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $778,345. Subsequent to September
30, 2016, the Company entered into a sale and license agreement for its trade names for consideration of $100,000. The changes

On July 21, 2016, Liquid Science entered
into an asset purchase and license agreement with the Company, whereby the Company irrevocably sold, assigned or transferred certain
trademark, intellectual property, formulations and technology, and granted rights to sell and distribute certain brand named products
internationally. In conjunction with the sale, the royalty agreement between the Company and Liquid Science was terminated.

Note 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Reverse Splits
On July 7, 2015, the Company filed an amendment
to its Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-five reverse stock split to its Common Stock. On February 1, 2016,
the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
to (i) effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-70, such ratio to be determined by
the Board, (ii) reduce the par value of the Common Stock from $0.001 to $0.0001 and (iii) increase the number of authorized shares
of the Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares. Each share entitles the holder to one vote. On March 8, 2016,
the Board effected a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-70. On March 21, 2016, the Company’s stockholders
approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split
of the Common Stock at a ratio between 1-for-10,000 and 1-for-20,000, such ratio to be determined by the Board. On June 1, 2016,
the Board effected a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-20,000.
Series A Preferred Stock Conversions
On January 25, 2016, the Units sold pursuant
to the Company’s July 2015 registered offering automatically separated into 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series
A Warrants, exercisable into 54 shares of common stock. From January 25, 2016 through September 30, 2016, 1 share of Series A Preferred
Stock was converted and the Company issued 26 shares of Common Stock to settle these conversions.
Compensatory Common Stock Summary
The Company did not recognize
stock-based compensation expense related to compensatory Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2016
and 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense
related to compensatory Common Stock in the amount of $52,000 and $621,067, respectively. Stock-based
compensation expense is included as part of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2016, there was no unamortized expense remaining related to stock
awards because the remaining non-vested shares vested on April 1, 2016.

Warrants
On May 2, 2016, the OTCQB staff notified
the Company that, based upon its non-compliance with the minimum $0.01 bid price requirement for the prior 30 consecutive business
days, the Company – in accordance with the OTCQB Standards – had been provided a grace period through October 31,
2016, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company’s common stock bid price did not close
at or above $0.01 for a period of ten consecutive trading days prior to October 31, 2016, the Company would move to the OTC Pink
marketplace.
On May 3, 2016, the Series A Warrant Standstill
Agreements (the “Amended Standstill Agreements”) were amended and restated pursuant to which, among other things,
each holder of the Series A Warrants agreed not to exercise their Series A Warrants pursuant to the "cashless exercise"
provisions of the Series A Warrants prior to the earlier of (1) June 2, 2016, or (2) the date the Company completes its previously
approved 70 for 1 reverse stock split. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Standstill Agreements, the holders agreed to
receive only common stock (and not cash) pursuant to any exercise of their Series A Warrants until the date of the 20,000 for
1 reverse stock split. For the period through the June 1, 2016, the number of Series A Warrants the Holders would
have been permitted to exercise will roll over and cumulated and was exercisable after the June 1, 2016. More than
85% of the Series A Warrants were subject to the Amended Standstill Agreement on May 3, 2016.
On May 4, 2016, the Company
determined that it had insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to allow for the exercise of Series A Warrants or stock
options, or allow the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company received the necessary approval from FINRA to
implement a reverse stock split filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-twenty
thousand reverse stock split to its Common Stock on June 1, 2016.
On June 21, 2016,
the Series A Warrant Standstill Agreements were amended and restated to permit the repurchase or exchange of the Series A Warrants
in certain additional circumstances (the “Amended Standstill Agreements”). These circumstances include the repurchase
of the Series A Warrants below a certain price per warrant and pursuant to the terms of the recently announced potential
exchange offer for the Series A Warrants. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Standstill Agreements, the Holders
agreed, in certain circumstances, to receive only common stock (and not cash) pursuant to Section 1(d) of
their Series A Warrants. Those circumstances include if the Company is deemed not to meet the "Equity Conditions" of
the Series A Warrants because of the failure of the closing price of the Common Stock to be at or above $0.01 per share.
The Company elected not to proceed with the aforementioned exchange offer.
On June 24, 2016, the Company determined
that it again had insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to allow for the exercise of its warrants or stock options,
or allow the conversion of preferred stock. On August 4, 2016, the Company received the approval from its stockholders to increase
the authorized common stock to 750 billion shares and the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
was filed. If all of the warrants were exercised simultaneously at a stock price lower than $0.0001, then the
Company would not have sufficient authorized
common stock to satisfy all the warrant exercises and it may be required to use cash to pay warrant holders. Since the Company
cannot predict the future stock price and when the warrant holders will exercise warrants and sell the underlying common shares,
management cannot predict if the Company will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its obligation to the current warrant
holders. If all of the outstanding Series A Warrants were fully exercised on September 30, 2016, the amounts payable to the holders
of the Series A Warrants would be approximately $64.1 million, using a Black Scholes Value of $1,514,939 per Series A Warrant.
The approximately 641 billion shares issuable upon full exercise of the Company’s 43 outstanding Series A Warrants is calculated
(1) using a Black Scholes Value of $1,514,939 per share and a closing stock price of $0.0001 per share and (2) assuming
the Company delivers only common stock upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and not cash payments as permitted under the terms
of the Series A Warrants.

per warrant and have a remaining term of 3.5 years at September 30, 2016.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Options
During the three months ended September
30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation recovery credits of $2,381 and $80,688
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized stock-based
compensation expenses of $61,794 and $613,577, respectively, in connection with the amortization of stock option expense
net of recovery of stock-based charges for forfeited stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is included as part of selling,
general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2016,
the amount of unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested stock options granted to employees, directors
and consultants was approximately $13,000 which will be amortized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing
the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and, if dilutive, potential
shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of incremental shares of Common Stock issuable
upon (a) the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method); (b) the vesting of restricted stock units; (c) the conversion
of Series A Preferred Stock; (d) the exercise of warrants (using the if-converted method), and (e) convertible notes payable. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, diluted loss per share excludes the potential shares of Common Stock, as their
effect is antidilutive. The following table summarizes the Company’s securities that have been excluded from the calculation
of basic and dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Note 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value framework under FASB’s
guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the
assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally
require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement
requirements are as follows:
|
●
|
Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
●
|
Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as
opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active; and
|
|
●
|
Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect
the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.
|
The following table summarizes the liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016:

Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of
the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value
requires significant judgment or estimation and the use of at least one significant unobservable input. The development and determination
of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company.
Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes
in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
The Company deems financial instruments
to be derivative instruments if they (a) do not have fixed settlement provisions; or (b) have potential cash settlement provisions
which are not within the Company’s control. The Common Stock purchase warrants (a) issued by the Company in connection with
the Merger; (b) issued in connection with the 2015 private placement of Common Stock and warrants; (c) granted in connection with
certain 2015 waivers agreements; and (d) issued in connection with the July 2015 underwritten offering; have all been deemed to
be derivative liabilities. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Stock” (“ASC 815”), the embedded conversion options and the warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities
at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company
has bifurcated the conversion feature of the warrant derivative instruments and recorded derivative liabilities on their issuance
date. The Company used a Monte Carlo model and a Binomial Lattice model to value the derivative liabilities. These derivative liabilities
are then revalued on each reporting date.
The Company’s derivative liabilities
are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including
the likelihood transactions limiting warrant holder payments, and factors limiting the exercise of warrants.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2016, Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4 and 7 shares of Common Stock which had been accounted for as a derivative
liability were exercised and exchanged, respectively. The exercised warrants had an aggregate exercise date value of $4,498,048
which was reclassified to stockholders’ deficit. The exchanged warrants had an aggregate value at exchange date of $8,468,310
which was derecognized and the Company paid $3,278,826 of cash plus Series B warrants with a nominal value, with a resulting
extinguishment gain of $5,189,484. The terms of the Series B warrant were agreed upon, but the warrants have not been issued.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, certain holders of Series A Warrants executed Standstill
Agreements, which were subsequently amended
and restated whereby the holders agreed not to exercise Series A Warrants for a specified period of time and under certain circumstances.
The following tables summarizes the values
of certain assumptions used by the Company’s custom models to estimate the fair value of the warrant liabilities during the

Note 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment and Consulting and Other
Related Party Agreements
On April 8, 2016, Gregory
Brauser informed the Board of his decision to resign from the Board and as President of the Company. Mr. Brauser’s resignation
was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Through GAB Management Group, Inc., Mr. Brauser will serve as a consultant to the Company pursuant to an Executive
Services Consulting Agreement dated as of April 11, 2016 (the “Consulting Agreement”), the term of
which is two years. Under the Consulting Agreement, GAB Management Group, Inc., will receive the following benefits in connection
with consulting services that its principal, Mr. Brauser, will provide to the Company beginning on April 11, 2016: (1)
an engagement fee of $50,000 payable at the time the Consulting Agreement is executed, and (2) thereafter monthly installments of
$10,000 for 24 months. Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Company paid $80,000 pursuant to the Consulting Agreement.
On August 13, 2015, the Company entered
into consulting agreements with each of GRQ Consultants, Inc. and Grander Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to its consulting agreement,
GRQ Consultants, Inc. was to primarily focus on investor relations and presenting the Company and its business plans, strategy
and personnel to the financial community. Pursuant to its consulting agreement, Grander Holdings, Inc. was to primarily assist
the Company in further developing and executing its acquisitions strategy, focusing on the Company’s “The Vape Store”
properties. Mr. Michael Brauser, who is the father of Gregory Brauser, is the Chief Executive Officer of Grander Holdings, Inc.
Pursuant to the foregoing agreements, each consultant received an initial fee of $50,000, payable upon execution, and would receive
$20,000 monthly throughout the 12-month term of each agreement if such consulting services continued. The Company made payments
of $40,000 each to Grander Holdings, Inc. and GRQ Consultants, Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The consulting
agreements with Grander Holdings, Inc.
and GRQ Consultants were terminated amicably effective February 29, 2016, with no requirement for additional payments.
During 2015, the Company purchased, at
rates comparable to market rates, e-liquids sold in its vape retail stores and wholesale operations, respectively from Liquid Science,
Inc., a company in which Jeffrey Holman (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), Gregory Brauser (the Company’s former
President) and Michael Brauser each had a beneficial ownership interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company
made approximately $274,000 or 37% of its purchases of e-liquid from Liquid Science for its continuing operations. The Company
did not make any purchases from Liquid Science during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Jeffrey Holman sold his ownership
interest in Liquid Science, Inc. in April 2016. During 2016, the Company received royalty income from Liquid Science pursuant to
the terms of a royalty agreement; approximately $52,000 received during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $42,000 of royalty
income received in July 2016. Pursuant to the royalty agreement between the Company and Liquid Science, as consideration for use
of a Company trademark, Liquid science paid a 15% royalty on sales of licensed products sold directly to consumers. The royalty
revenue was recorded when received. On July 21, 2016, Liquid Science entered into an asset purchase and license agreement with
the Company, whereby the Company irrevocably sold, assigned, transferred, certain trademark, intellectual property, formulations,
technology and granted rights to sell and distribute certain brand named products internationally. In conjunction with the sale,
the royalty agreement between the Company and Liquid Science was terminated.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company may be involved
in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business.
Fontem Matters
Effective December 16, 2015, the Company
entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement and a non-exclusive royalty-bearing confidential Global License Agreement (“License
Agreement”) with Fontem Ventures B.V. (“Fontem”) resulting in the dismissal of all of the aforementioned patent
infringement cases by Fontem against the Company. The estimated settlement fee of approximately $1.7 million was included in selling,
general and administrative expenses and in accrued expense at December 31, 2015. On January 15, 2016, the Company made a payment
of $1.7 million under the terms of the Settlement and License Agreements. In connection with the License Agreement, Fontem granted
the Company a non-exclusive license to certain of its products. As consideration, the Company will make quarterly license and royalty
payments to Fontem based on the sale of qualifying products as defined in the License Agreement. The term of the License Agreement
will continue until all of the patents on the products subject to the agreement are no longer enforceable.
California Center for Environmental
Health Matters
On June 22, 2015, the Center for Environmental
Health, as plaintiff, filed suit against a number of defendants including Vapor Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Vape
Store, Inc., Vaporin and another wholly-owned subsidiary, Vaporin Florida, Inc. The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of
the State of California, County of Alameda. The suit seeks relief under California Proposition 65 which makes it unlawful for
businesses to knowingly and intentionally expose individuals in California to chemicals known to cause birth defects or other
harm without providing clear and reasonable warnings. All of the defendants are alleged to have sold products containing significant
quantities of nicotine without warnings in violation of Proposition 65. The plaintiff is seeking a civil penalty against these
defendants in the amount of $2,500 per day for each violation of Proposition 65, together with attorneys’ fees and costs.
On April 6, 2016, the Company and the plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement, which required the Company to (1) make a
payment of $45,000 and (2) comply with enhanced product labeling requirements within a set implementation period as defined in
the consent judgment. The settlement cost was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months and
the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The settlement payment was made on May 2, 2016.
Other Matters
On March 2, 2016, Hudson Bay Master Fund
Ltd. (“HB”), filed an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York,
captioned Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. versus Vapor Corp., Index No. 651094/2016. This action alleged that the Company failed to
timely effect exercises of its Series A Warrants delivered by the plaintiff and seeks damages of $339,810. On May 10, 2016, solely
to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with respect
to all claims included in the action by HB (the “HB Settlement”). The HB Settlement provided, among other things, that
the parties entered into and filed a stipulation of discontinuance that provided for the dismissal of the action against the Company
(the “HB Stipulation”). This action by HB was dismissed with prejudice.
On June 2, 2016, four Series A Warrant
holders, filed an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Empery
Asset Master, LTD, Empery Tax Efficient, LP, Empery Tax Efficient II, LP and Intracoastal Capital, LLC versus Vapor Corp., Index
No. 652950/2016. This action alleged that the Company failed to timely effect exercises of its
Series A Warrants delivered by the plaintiffs
and seeks aggregate damages of approximately $603,000. Between June 17 and June 22, 2016, solely to avoid the costs, risks and
uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company entered into settlement agreements with respect to all claims included in the
Complaints (the “Settlements”). The Settlements provide, among other things, that the parties entered into and filed
a stipulation of discontinuance that provides for the dismissal of the Complaint (the “Stipulation”), and the holders
surrendered the balance of their Series A Warrant upon receipt of settlement payments. These actions were dismissed with prejudice.
In August 2016, a patent infringement
action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Vari-Volt Technologies, LCC against
the Company’s subsidiary, The Vape Store, Inc. The plaintiff is a non-practicing entity and is not a competitor of
the Company or The Vape Store, Inc. The lawsuit concerns the alleged infringement of an electronic cigarette battery patent
held by the plaintiff. The accused products are several models of Vision (a third party) batteries allegedly distributed
and sold by The Vape Store, Inc. To date, no answer has been filed in the lawsuit and the Company intends to vigorously
defend these allegations. The Company considers this a low-exposure matter and, in addition to a full defense, intends to
pursue alternative means of resolution. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the loss exposure; however, we believe
any such exposure is not likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.
Future events or circumstances, currently
unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have
a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future
reporting periods.
Purchase Commitments
At September 30, 2016 and December 31,
2015, the Company had vendor deposits of approximately $118,565 and $127,610, respectively, and vendor deposits are included as
a component of prepaid expenses and vendor deposits on the consolidated balance sheets included herewith. At September 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015, the Company had vendor deposits of approximately $0 and $183,326, respectively, for the vapor
wholesale business that are included as a component of discontinued operations prepaid expenses and vendor deposits on the
consolidated balance sheets included herewith.
NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates events that have
occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation,
the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure
in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements other than those set forth below.
On October 1, 2016, the Company
executed a three-year lease for its new corporate office facility at 3800 N. 28
th
Way, Hollywood Florida 33020 with
an annual base rent of $90,000. The Company incurred $17,490 of costs in settlement of lease, including forfeiture of
the $12,000 security deposit, to exit the lease for its former corporate office space. The exit cost incurred for the former
office space was recorded in selling general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2016.
On October 5, 2016, the Company amended and restated its Series
A Warrant Standstill Agreements to permit each consenting Series A warrant holder to effect a cashless exercise of the Series A
Warrants only on dates when the closing bid price used to determine the net number of shares to be issued upon exercise based on
the Black Scholes calculation, is at or above $0.0001 per share. Approximately 90% of the Series A Warrants are subject to the
Amended Standstill Agreements.
