Part I

ITEM 1.       BUSINESS

 

General Overview

mCig, Inc. (mCig) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010 originally under the name Lifetech Industries, Inc. Effective August 2, 2013, the name was changed from "Lifetech Industries, Inc." to "mCig, Inc." reflecting the new business model. Since October 2013, mCig, Inc. has positioned itself as a technology company focused on two long-term secular trends: (1) The decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes - legalizing medicinal and recreational marijuana usage is steadily on the rise not only domestically but also internationally. Marijuana has been decriminalized in over twenty countries, in over five continents. Twenty three states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form http://www.governing.com/govdata/safetyjustice/statemarijuanalawsmapmedicalrecreational.html.  Management believes that by 2016 it is very likely that many more states, including Alaska, California, Arizona, Maine, and Oregon, will legalize the use and sale of recreational marijuana the way Washington and Colorado have. (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (commonly known as “eCigs”),  as smokers move away from traditional cigarettes onto e-cigarettes. Smoking tobacco causes numerous health problems, including disease and death. Smoking becomes very addicting quickly, and the most difficult part is cessation. The Company contends that e-cigarettes offer a safer and healthier alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes operate by heating a mixture of liquid nicotine and flavoring, which is then inhaled and exhaled in the same manner as a cigarette. However, e-cigarettes do not contain any tobacco or other dangerous additives. Scientific research has shown that the leading cause of cancer in smokers comes from the carcinogens in tobacco. As the movement towards personal health grows, smokers are trying to quit their harmful habits. Management believes that e-cigarettes provide a safe transition from harmful traditional cigarettes.  

 

All agreements related to the Lifetech business will be terminated and closed as of April 30, 2014. It will not have any impact on the current and future operations because all of these agreements are related to the previous business directions of the Company.

 

We manufacture and retail the mCig – an affordable loose-leaf eCig. Designed in the USA – the mCig provides a smoking experience by heating plant material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation experience. The Company also maintains an investment in Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers such as the Vapolution 2.0. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc., the Company is engaged in the manufacturing and retailing of a nicotine-free eCig that delivers a water-vapor mixed with vitamins and natural flavors.

 

On January 23, 2014, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers. In accordance with this agreement mCig, Inc. acquired 100% of Vapolution, Inc.; as part of this transaction mCig, Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares to shareholders of Vapolution, Inc.  The shareholders of Vapolution, Inc. retain the right to rescind the transaction, which expires on January 23, 2015.

 

On January 23, 2014, Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc. has cancelled an equal amount (2,500,000 shares) of common shares owned by him resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders. The remaining 2,500,000 of common shares owned by Paul Rosenberg will be cancelled on the one year anniversary of the agreement, specifically on January 23, 2015, to offset the 2,500,000 new shares issued from the treasury to complete the purchase of Vapolution, Inc.

 

On February 24, 2014 the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with VitaCig, Inc. In accordance with this agreement VitaCig, Inc. accepted the contribution by mCig, Inc. of specific assets consisting solely of pending trademarks for the term “VitaCig” filed with the USPTO and $500 in cash as contribution in exchange for 500,135,000 shares of common capital stock representing 100% of the shares outstanding of VitaCig, Inc.

 

mCig, Inc. is distributing to its shareholders 270,135,000 shares of Common Stock of VitaCig, Inc. owned by mCig, a shareholder of VitaCig. The shareholders of mCig will receive one share of VitaCig common stock for every one shares of mCig common stock that they hold as of the record date.

 

Our fiscal year end is April 30th.

Our Current Business

 

We are engaged in the business of marketing and distributing electronic cigarettes, vaporizers and accessories under the mCig and VitaCig brands.

 

  • mCig 2.0 is available for purchase through the mCig website (www.mCig.org) and through companies who've ordered them in bulk through the Company’s Wholesale, Distributor and Retail programs;
  • 4 Piece Glass Packs are available for purchase through the mCig website (www.mCig.org) and though Companies who’ve ordered them in bulk through the Company’s Wholesale, Distributor and Retail programs;
  • VitaCig Refresh, Energize or Relax E-cigarettes are available for purchase through the VitaCig website (www.VitaCig.org)
  • mCig T-Shirt’s are available via the mCig website (www.mCig.org)

 

In development:

 

mCig, Inc. and VitaCig are currently in the process of researching and developing a future line of products including the mCig 3.0 and the LiqCig, respectively. These products are still in the conceptual phase, as we hope to have these out sometime in the fall of 2014.

 

The Market for Electronic Cigarettes

 

We compete in a highly competitive market that includes other e-cigarette marketing companies, as well as traditional tobacco companies. In this highly fragmented market, we have focused on building brand awareness early through viral adoption and word of mouth. In the future, we expect to employ additional marketing strategies while continuing to develop our supply chain and fulfillment capabilities.

 

We market our electronic cigarettes and vaporizers as an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. We offer our products in three flavor combinations. Because electronic cigarettes offer a “smoking” experience without the burning of tobacco leaf, electronic cigarettes offer users the ability to satisfy their traditional cigarette cravings without smoke, tar, ash or carbon monoxide. In many cases electronic cigarettes may be used where tobacco-burning cigarettes may not. Electronic cigarettes may be used in some instances where for regulatory or safety reasons tobacco burning cigarettes may not be used. However, we cannot provide any assurances that future regulations may not affect where electronic cigarettes may be used.

 

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010, an estimated 45.3 million people, or 19.3% of adults, in the United States smoke cigarettes. According to the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, an industry trade group, more than 3.5 million people currently use electronic cigarettes in the United States. In 2011, about 21% of adults who smoke traditional tobacco cigarettes had used electronic cigarettes, up from about 10% in 2010, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Annual sales of electronic cigarettes in the United States are estimated to increase to $1 billion in 2013 from $500 million in 2012. Annual sales of traditional tobacco cigarettes, according to industry estimates, were $80 billion in 2012.

In some cities, electronic cigarettes have begun to face the same regulations as traditional cigarettes, while in the majority of the country e-cigarettes are judged independently and are available for use in most places. Private businesses have the right to impose restrictions on the use of e-cigarettes in their establishments. If e-cigarettes become subject to the same restrictions as tobacco cigarettes, this could adversely affect our business. We provide smokers with a safer alternative for themselves and the people around them, and by prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes they may lose their appeal as substitute to traditional tobacco burning cigarettes.

The FDA has indicated that e-cigarettes and their potential risks have not been fully studied. Since e-cigarettes are new, their long-term effects are not well known, including the potential risks of e-cigarettes when used as intended and how many potential warranties  harmful chemicals are being inhaled during use. However, even with the limited research that we have now, it is well known that e-cigarettes are still much safer and healthier than traditional cigarettes. The largest health benefit of e-cigarettes is when used as a smoking cessation tool. The leading cause of disease from smokers is caused by the tar found in cigarettes, which e-cigarettes do not have.

 

Advertising

 

Currently, we advertise our products primarily through our direct marketing campaign, on the Internet. We also attempt to build brand awareness through social media marketing activities, web-site promotions, and pay-per-click advertising campaigns.

6


 

We intend to strategically expand our advertising activities in 2014 and also increase our public relations campaigns to gain editorial coverage for our brands. Some of our competitors promote their brands through print media and through celebrity endorsements, and have substantial resources to devote to such efforts. We believe that our and our competitors’ efforts have helped increase our sales, our product acceptance and general industry awareness.

 

Distribution and Sales

 

We offer our electronic cigarettes and related products through our online store at www.mcig.org, which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing, and through a Wholesale Distributor Reseller (WDR) program for large bulk orders. Since their introduction to the U.S. market, electronic cigarettes have predominantly been sold online, while tobacco products, most notably cigarettes are currently sold in approximately 400,000 retail locations. An online store of mCig, Inc. was officially launched on September 17, 2013 and our online store for VitaCig, Inc. was beta-launched on April 1, 2014, and officially launched on April 15, 2014.  We believe that future growth of electronic cigarettes is dependent on higher volume, lower margin sales channels, such as the broad based distribution network through which traditional cigarettes are sold.

 

All of our sales are exclusively conducted online. Our wholesale program, known as “WDR”, operates through our website. Wholesale distributors and re-sellers contact our sales team through  the website to agree upon a wholesale rate based on quantity. After a specific rate is established between the WDR customer and the mCig team, the order is placed through our website in the same manner as a direct customer. Payment is obtained with credit card verification through our third party agent, though in specific cases payment may be made with a direct wire transfer, personal check, cash, or money order.

 

We rely almost exclusively on a Chinese factory, specifically our principle supplier, Bauway H.K. Investments, for the manufacturing of mCig’s and VitaCig’s. Therefore, our ability to maintain operations is dependent on this third-party manufacturer. The manufacturer is Bauway H.K. Investments.   We believe that Bauway H.K. Investments holds the capacity to produce 20,000 mCig’s and 50,000 VitaCig’s per month. Currently, it takes our manufacturer approximately 8 hours to produce 1,000 mCig’s and 3 hours to produce 1,000 VitaCig’s. 

 

The process involves the following raw materials: Stainless Steel Tubing for Battery housing and Atomizing Chambers. Atomizing Chambers are composed of a battery powered wire assembly housed on top of a ceramic base. Battery type used is Lithium Polymer 360mAh which is housed inside of the stainless steel tubing. The mouthpiece is made of food grade silicon.

 

Plastic USB Charger for battery assembly holds a small PCB to regulate charging.  Another small PCB controls the battery function and voltage which is controlled by a clickable plastic power button seated in the stainless steel tubing that can be pressed rapidly in succession to power on/power off the battery and adjust its voltage.  A small stainless steel cleaning tool is included along with cardboard for packaging and plastic blister packaging printed with instructions and branding.

 

All of our Raw Materials are provided by Shenzhen Bauway Technology Co., Ltd., the factory of Bauway (H.K) Investment Limited in Shenzhen, China.

 

Further, the following represent the processes in the production of products by the manufacturer.  Bawsed on the timeframe of prior order, our average mCig orders of 5,000 units take approximately 3 weeks to come in to our warehouse from the time of the original order placement and for an average VitaCig order of 20,000 units around 4 weeks to come into our warehouse location from the time of the original order placement from our Chinese manufacturer.  Furthermore, we do not currently have any exclusive product or distribution arrangements with our manufacturer and the loss or disruption of the production of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Government 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 United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) is permitted to regulate electronic cigarettes as “tobacco products” under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 (the “Tobacco Control Act”).

 

Under this Court decision, the FDA is not permitted to regulate electronic cigarettes as “drugs” or “devices” or a “combination product” under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act unless they are marketed for therapeutic purposes.

7


 

Because we do not market our electronic cigarettes for therapeutic purposes, and our electronic cigarettes do not contain nicotine, we believe that our products should not fall under the regulatory oversight of the FDA. Nevertheless we believe it is important for any existing or potential investors to understand recent trends in government regulation relating to nicotine-based electronic cigarettes.

 

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.

 

The Tobacco Control Act also requires establishment, within the FDA’s new Center for Tobacco Products, of a Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee to provide advice, information and recommendations with respect to the safety, dependence or health issues related to tobacco products.

 

The Tobacco Control Act imposes significant new restrictions on the advertising and promotion of tobacco products. For example, the law requires the FDA to finalize certain portions of regulations previously adopted by the FDA in 1996 (which were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2000 as beyond the FDA’s authority). As written, these regulations would 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, during 2012, the FDA indicated that it intends to regulate electronic cigarettes under the Tobacco Control Act through the issuance of deeming regulations that would include electronic cigarettes under the definition of a “tobacco product” under the Tobacco Control Act subject to the FDA’s jurisdiction. The FDA initially announced that it would issue proposed deeming regulations by April 2013 and then extended the deadline to October 31, 2013. As of the date of this prospectus, the FDA had not taken such action.

 

The application of the Tobacco Control Act to electronic cigarettes could impose, among other things, restrictions on the content of nicotine in electronic cigarettes, the advertising, marketing and sale of electronic cigarettes, the use of certain flavorings and the introduction of new products. We cannot predict the scope of such regulations or the impact they may have on our company specifically or the electronic cigarette industry generally, though if enacted, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

In this regard, total compliance and related costs are not possible to predict and depend substantially on the future requirements imposed by the FDA under the Tobacco Control Act. Costs, however, could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, failure to comply with the Tobacco Control Act and 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. At present, we are not able to predict whether the Tobacco Control Act will impact us to a greater degree than competitors in the industry, thus affecting our competitive position.

 

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 these bills become laws, 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.

 

The Tobacco industry expects significant regulatory developments to take place over the next few years, driven principally by the World Health Organization’s 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:

8


 

 

 

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;

 

 

elimination of duty free allowances for travelers; and

 

 

encouraging litigation against tobacco companies.

 

If electronic cigarettes are subject to one or more significant regulatory initiates enacted under the FCTC, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

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 e-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 e-cigarettes. For example, pursuant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, the FDA has proposed rules that would extend the agency’s tobacco authority to cover additional tobacco products, including our products. 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.

 

As part of its implementation of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act signed by the President in 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today proposed a new rule that would extend the agency’s tobacco authority to cover additional tobacco products.  Products that would be “deemed” to be subject to FDA regulation are those that meet the statutory definition of a tobacco product, including currently unregulated marketed products, such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), cigars, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels, waterpipe (or hookah) tobacco, and dissolvables not already under the FDA’s authority. The FDA currently regulates cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco.

 Consistent with currently regulated tobacco products, under the proposed rule, makers of newly deemed tobacco products 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 newly “deemed” tobacco products:

·        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.

The FDA proposes different compliance dates for various provisions so that all regulated entities, including small businesses, will have adequate time to comply with the requirements of the proposed rule.

Products that are marketed for therapeutic purposes will continue to be regulated as medical products under the FDA’s existing drug and device authorities in the Food, Drug &Cosmetic Act.

The proposed rule will be available for public comment for 75 days. While all comments, data, research, and other information submitted to the docket will be considered, the FDA is requesting comments in certain areas, including:

9


 

·        The FDA recognizes that different tobacco products may have the potential for varying effects on public health and is proposing two options for the categories of cigars that would be covered by this rule. The FDA specifically seeks comment on whether all cigars should be subject to deeming, and which other provisions of the proposed rule may be appropriate or not appropriate for different kinds of cigars. 

·        The FDA seeks answers to the many public health questions posed by products, such as e-cigarettes, that do not involve the burning of tobacco and inhalation of its smoke, as the agency develops an appropriate level of regulatory oversight for these products. The FDA seeks comment in this proposed rule as to how such products should be regulated.

 

         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.

 

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

 

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect our results of operations and financial condition. If any events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition could be materially harmed. In connection with the forward looking statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report, you should also carefully review the cautionary statement referred to under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

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

 

As of April 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $381,653. Our accumulated deficit is primarily due to, among other reasons, the establishment of our business infrastructure and operations, stock-based compensation expenses and increases in our marketing expenditures to grow sales of our electronic cigarettes. For the year ended April 30, 2014, we had net loss of $121,566 compared to a net loss of $106,796 for the year ended April 30, 2013. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to generate operating profits on a sustainable basis as we continue to expand our infrastructure, further develop our marketing efforts and otherwise implement our growth initiatives.

The market for electronic cigarettes is a niche market, subject to a great deal of uncertainty and is still evolving.

 

Electronic cigarettes, having recently been introduced to market, are at an early stage of development, represent a niche market and are evolving rapidly and are characterized by an increasing number of market entrants. Our future sales 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 recent, and may not continue on a lasting basis. The demand and market acceptance for these products is subject to a high level of uncertainty.

 

Therefore, 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.

 

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 e-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 e-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.

 

New product faces intense media attention and public pressure.

 

Our product is new to the marketplace and since its 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 may 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.

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. Currently, 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.

 

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

 

Competition in the electronic cigarette industry is intense. We compete with other sellers of electronic cigarettes, most notably Lorillard, Inc., Altria Group, Inc. and Reynolds American Inc., through their electronic cigarettes business segments; the nature of our competitors is varied as the market is highly fragmented and the barriers to entry into the business are low.

 

We compete primarily on the basis of product quality, brand recognition, brand loyalty, service, marketing, advertising and price. We are subject to highly competitive conditions in all aspects of our business. The competitive environment and our competitive position can be significantly influenced by weak economic conditions, erosion of consumer confidence, competitors’ introduction of low-priced products or innovative products, cigarette excise taxes, higher absolute prices and larger gaps between price categories, and product regulation that diminishes the ability to differentiate tobacco products.

 

Our principal competitors are “big tobacco”, U.S. cigarette manufacturers of both conventional tobacco cigarettes and electronic cigarettes like Altria Group, Inc., Lorillard, Inc. and Reynolds American Inc. We compete against “big tobacco” who offers not only conventional tobacco cigarettes and electronic cigarettes but also smokeless tobacco products such as “snus” (a form of moist ground smokeless tobacco that is usually sold in sachet form that resembles small tea bags), chewing tobacco and snuff.

 

Furthermore, we believe that “big tobacco” will devote more attention and resources to developing and offering electronic cigarettes as the market for electronic cigarettes grows. Because of their well-established sales and distribution channels, marketing expertise and significant resources, “big tobacco” is better positioned than small competitors like us to capture a larger share of the electronic cigarette market. We also compete against numerous other smaller manufacturers or importers of cigarettes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against any of our competitors, some of whom have far greater resources, capital, experience, market penetration, sales and distribution channels than us. If our major competitors were, for example, to significantly increase the level of price discounts offered to consumers, we could respond by offering price discounts, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

11


 

We may not be unable to promote and maintain our brands.

 

We believe that establishing and maintaining the brand identities of our products is a critical aspect of attracting and expanding a large customer base. Promotion and enhancement of our brands will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide high quality products. If our customers and end users do not perceive our products to be of high quality, or if we introduce new products or enter into new business ventures that are not favorably received by our customers and end users, we will risk diluting our brand identities and decreasing their attractiveness to existing and potential customers.

 

Moreover, in order to attract and retain customers and to promote and maintain our brand equity in response to competitive pressures, we may have to increase substantially our financial commitment to creating and maintaining a distinct brand loyalty among our customers. If we incur significant expenses in an attempt to promote and maintain our brands, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

We rely primarily on a Chinese factory for the production of our products.

 

We rely almost exclusively on a Chinese factory, specifically our principle supplier, Bauway H.K. Investments, for the manufacturing of mCig’s and VitaCig’s. Therefore, our ability to maintain operations is dependent on this  third-party manufacturer. Bauway H.K. Investments holds the capacity to produce 20,000 mCig’s and 50,000 VitaCig’s per month. Currently, it takes our manufacturer approximately 8 hours to produce 1,000 mCig’s and 3 hours to produce 1,000 VitaCig’s.

 

It currently involves the following raw materials: Stainless Steel Tubing for Battery housing and Atomizing Chambers. Atomizing Chambers are composed of a battery powered wire assembly housed on top of a ceramic base. Battery type used is Lithium Polymer 360mAh which is housed inside of the stainless steel tubing. The mouthpiece is made of food grade silicon.  

Plastic USB Charger for battery assembly holds a small PCB to regulate charging.  Another small PCB controls the battery function and voltage which is controlled by a clickable plastic power button seated in the stainless steel tubing that can be pressed rapidly in succession to power on/power off the battery and adjust its voltage.  A small stainless steel cleaning tool is included along with cardboard for packaging and plastic blister packaging printed with instructions and branding.

All of our Raw Materials are provided by Shenzhen Bauway Technology Co., Ltd. is the factory of Bauway (H.K) Investment Limited in Shenzhen

 

Further,  the following represent the processes in this production  by the manufacturer.  Our average mCig orders of 5,000 units take around 3 weeks to come in to our warehouse from the time of the original order placement and for an average VitaCig order of 20,000 units around 4 weeks to come into our warehouse location from the time of the original order placement from our Chinese manufacturer.  Furthermore, we do not currently have any exclusive product or distribution arrangements with our manufacturer and the loss or disruption of the production of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The dollar amount of backlog orders believed to be firm, as of a recent date and as of a comparable date in the preceding fiscal year, together with an indication of the portion thereof not reasonably expected to be filled within the current fiscal year, and seasonal or other material aspects of the backlog. (There may be included as firm orders government orders that are firm but not yet funded and contracts awarded but not yet signed, provided an appropriate statement is added to explain the nature of such orders and the amount thereof. The portion of orders already included in sales or operating revenues on the basis of percentage of completion or program accounting shall be excluded.)

 

 

Potential Risks in Public Perception Associated with Chinese Factories.

 

Should Chinese factories continue to draw public criticism for exporting unsafe products, we may be adversely and materially affected by the stigma associated with Chinese production. This in turn would negatively affect our business operations, our revenues, and our financial projections and prospects.

 

12


 

We expect that new products and/or brands we develop will expose us to risks that may be difficult to identify until such products and/or brands are commercially available.

 

We are currently developing, and in the future will continue to develop, new products and brands, the risks of which will be difficult to ascertain until these products and/or brands are commercially available. For example, we are developing new formulations, packaging and distribution channels. Any negative events or results that may arise as we develop new products or brands may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

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

 

At present we generate a portion of our sales through e-commerce sales on our websites. We have started selling our products from April 1, 2014. 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, financial condition and results of operations. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties 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 and/or litigation. Our security measures may not prevent security breaches. Our failure to prevent these security breaches may result in consumer distrust and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Credit card payment processors and merchant account pose a risk.

 

We accept credit cards as a means of payment for the sale of our products. If we are unable to find suitable providers or an alternative method of payment for our customers, our cash-flow will be constrained and our sales may be effected which may have a material adverse effect on our performance, financial condition and results of operations.

 

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

 

Any and all products are subject to customer service claims, malfunctions and defects, which may subject us to requests for product exchanges, returns, warranty claims and recalls. If we are unable to maintain a certain degree of quality control of our products we will incur costs of replacing and or recalling our products and servicing our customers. Any product returns, exchanges, and or recalls we may make will have a material adverse effect on our business, our operations and our profitability and will likely result in the loss of customers and goodwill.

 

Moreover products that do not meet our quality control standards and or those products that do not comply with U.S. safety and health standards or that may be defective may reduce the effectiveness, enjoyment and or cause harm to property, person and or death to persons who use the product. Any such instance will likely result in claims against us and potentially subject us to liability and legal claims which may cause injury to our reputation, goodwill and operating results.

Warranties

Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, based on actual warranty experience as it becomes available and other known factors that may impact our evaluation of historical data. We review our reserves at least quarterly to ensure that our accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and we will adjust our estimates as needed. Initial warranty data can be limited early in the launch of a product and accordingly, the adjustments that we record may be material. Because of the nature of our products, customers are made aware that as soon as a mCig is packed with marijuana, they automatically void their warranty, primarily because it is against federal laws to mail a product that has been in proximity of marijuana. As a result, the products that can be returned as a warranty replacement is extremely limited. For VitaCig, the warranty limitations are extremely limited, since as soon as a customer takes off the freshness seal of the product, the warranty is no longer applicable. As a result, due to the Company’s warranty policy, the Company did not have any significant warranty expenses to report as of Fiscal Year End April 30, 2014. Based on these actual expenses, the warranty reserve, as estimated by management as of April 30, 2014 was at $0. Any adjustments to warranty reserves are to be recorded in cost of sales.

It is likely that as we start selling higher priced products, that are not affected by federal shipping laws and/or are not single use items (such as eLiquid Juice Vaporizer), we will acquire additional information on the projected costs to service work under warranty and may need to make additional adjustments. Further, a small change in our warranty estimates may result in a material charge to our reported financial results.

Product exchanges and product returns

The total for product exchanges and product returns as of April 30, 2014 were immaterial. As a result, all product exchanges and product returns were recorded as a reduction to revenues.

 

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

 

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile or may decline regardless of the Company’s operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price and the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

Since the commencement of trading of our common stock on the OTC Markets, the market price of our common stock has been volatile, and fluctuates widely in price in response to various factors, which are beyond our control. Since the commencement of trading of our common stock on the OTC Markets, the price of our common stock went from approximately $0.08 / per share to almost $0.90 / per share in less than 3 months. However, after experiencing growth, the stock declined by almost 50% within the next 3 months (where the price of the stock as of Fiscal Year Ending April 30, 2014 we are trading approximately at $0.45 / per share). We attribute this large fluctuation especially on the industry that we operate in. Management believes that our price is also affected by the industry in which we operate such that , when the industry is doing well, we believe our stock price will benefit but when the industry is experience a down turn, , we will not  be immune from the decline.

Furthermore, we must note that the price of our common stock is not necessarily indicative of our operating performance or long-term business prospects. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Factors such as the following could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially:

 

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

The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when 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 to us and could divert our management’s attention and resources from managing our operations and business.

 

The Company may issue more shares in connection with future mergers or acquisitions, which could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 560,000,000 shares of common stock. Any future merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then-current stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a future business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur, and the rights of the holders of common stock could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is held by our CEO and carries super majority voting rights and can be converted in April 2015.

 

On September 23, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation / Exchange / Return to Treasury Agreement with Paul Rosenberg, the chief executive officer of mCig, Inc., for the cancellation of 230,000,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Rosenberg in exchange for 23,000,000 shares of our company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred shares of mCig, Inc. carry ten (10) votes per each share of Preferred stock while mCig, Inc’s common shares carry one (1) vote per each share outstanding.  Consequently, the result of all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders may be controlled by Mr. Rosenberg, who can base his vote upon his best judgment and his fiduciary duty to the shareholders.   Mr. Rosenberg has a lock up contractual agreement to not convert the Series A Preferred shares until April 30, 2015. After this time, he may convert the shares to common stock, substantially diluting the common shareholders. As the sole director and the holder of the majority of capital voting shares there is a risk that Mr. Rosenberg can reverse his decision or convert his Series A Convertible Shares after April 30, 2015, significantly diluting the common stock.  There are no plans or intentions for Mr. Rosenberg to convert his Series A Preferred Stock at present or after April 30, 2015.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future, and therefore investors should not buy our stock if they wish to receive cash dividends.

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans, and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be party to at the time.  To the extent we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the extent our stock price increases, which may never occur.  In addition, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on investment.  Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. 

 

Our officers, directors, and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively control approximately 50% of our outstanding common stock.  As a result, 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 or delaying or preventing a change in control of us or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us.  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 common stock.  Moreover, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider. 

 

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

 

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock.” It does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange or (iii) it is not quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, or has a price less than $5.00 per share. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock are subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on the company's stock price as an increase in supply of shares for sale, with no corresponding increase in demand will cause prices to fall.

 

All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by the present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only  pursuant to an effective  registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other  applicable exemptions from  registration  under  the  Securities Act of 1933  and  as  required  under  applicable  state securities laws.  Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is an affiliate or officer or director who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a Company's issued and outstanding common stock. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months if the Company is a current reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A sale under Rule 144 or under  any  other  exemption  from the Securities Act of 1933 ,  if  available,  or  pursuant  to subsequent  registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders,  may have a  depressive  effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.  In addition,  if we are deemed a shell company pursuant to Section 12(b)-2 of the Act, our "restricted  securities",  whether held by affiliates or non-affiliates,  may not be  re-sold  for a period  of 12 months  following  the filing of a Form 10 level disclosure or registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933  .

 

Future issuances of shares for various considerations including working capital and operating expenses will increase the number of shares outstanding which will dilute existing investors and may have a depressive effect on the company's stock price.

 

There may be substantial dilution to our shareholders purchasing in future offerings as a result of future decisions of the Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for cash, services, payment of debt or acquisitions.


There may in all likelihood be little demand for shares of our common stock and as a result investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if they need to liquidate their investment.

 

There may be little demand for shares of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, or OTC Markets.com, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors,  including the fact that it is a small  company  which is  relatively  unknown to stock  analysts,  stock brokers,  institutional  investors and others in the  investment  community that generate or  influence  sales  volume,  and that even if the Company came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an  unproven,  early stage  company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our Securities until such time as it became more seasoned and viable.  As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company's securities 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 the securities price.  We cannot give investors any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for the Company's common securities will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained.  Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their securities of the Company.

 

Public disclosure requirements and compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance pose challenges for our management team and result in additional expenses and costs which may reduce the focus of management and the profitabality of our company.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 23, 2014, Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc. has cancelled an equal amount (2,500,000 shares) of common shares owned by him resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders.

Since only half of the agreed upon shares had been paid out by mCig, Inc. to the previous owners of Vapolution, Inc. as of April 30, 2014 as part of the agreed upon purchase price, only half of the purchase price ($625,000) was reported on the Company’s balance sheet as Investment in Vapolution, Inc. at the year-end date. The remaining purchase price of 2,500,000 shares will be recognized in the amount of $625,000 on the Company’s balance sheet on the commencement date of January 23, 2015.  At that time, mCig intends to satisfy all requirements necessary to consolidate Vapolution’s audited year-end results as part of its financials.

Overview

 

mCig, Inc. (mCig) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010 originally under the name Lifetech Industries, Inc. Effective August 2, 2013, the name was changed from "Lifetech Industries, Inc." to "mCig, Inc." reflecting the new business model. Since October 2013, mCig, Inc. has positioned itself as a technology company focused on two long-term secular trends: (1) The decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes - legalizing medicinal and recreational marijuana usage is steadily on the rise not only domestically but also internationally. Marijuana has been decriminalized in over twenty countries, in over five continents. Twenty three states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form http://www.governing.com/govdata/safetyjustice/statemarijuanalawsmapmedicalrecreational.html).  Management believes that by 2016 it is very likely that many more states, including Alaska, California, Arizona, Maine, and Oregon, will legalize the use and sale of recreational marijuana the way Washington and Colorado have (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (commonly known as “eCigs”), as smokers move away from traditional cigarettes onto e-cigarettes. Smoking tobacco causes numerous health problems, including disease and death. Smoking becomes very addicting quickly, and the most difficult part is cessation. The Company contends that e-cigarettes offer a safer and healthier alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes operate by heating a mixture of liquid nicotine and flavoring, which is then inhaled and exhaled in the same manner as a cigarette. However, e-cigarettes do not contain any tobacco or other dangerous additives. Scientific research has shown that the leading cause of cancer in smokers comes from the carcinogens in tobacco. As the movement towards personal health grows, smokers are trying to quit their harmful habits. Management believes that e-cigarettes provide a safe transition from harmful traditional cigarettes. 

 

On January 23, 2014, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers. In accordance with this agreement mCig, Inc. acquired 100% of Vapolution, Inc.; as part of this transaction mCig, Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares to shareholders of Vapolution, Inc.  The shareholders of Vapolution, Inc. retain the right to rescind the transaction, which expires on January 23, 2015.

 

On January 23, 2014, Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc. has cancelled an equal amount (2,500,000 shares) of common shares owned by him resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders. The remaining 2,500,000 of common shares owned by Paul Rosenberg will be cancelled on the one year anniversary of the agreement, specifically on January 23, 2015, to offset the 2,500,000 new shares issued from the treasury to complete the purchase of Vapolution, Inc.

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Our revenues increased to $370,077 for the year ended April 30, 2014 compared to $50,000 the year ended April 30, 2013, and for an increase of $320,077. The increase in revenue is attributed to the launch of our primary product the mCig 2.0 in January 2014. Revenues consist primarily of results from the sales of the electronic cigarettes, components for electronic cigarettes and related accessories.

19


 

Sales of the electronic cigarettes of mCig for the year ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $358,947 and $0, respectively. Significant increase in sales is mainly due to the launch of the new mCig's products.  We do not rely on one or a few major customers but rely on general sales to numerous customers online.   

 

 

Sales of the VitaCig electronic vaporizing cigarettes for the year ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $11,130 and $0, respectively. The Company was incorporated on January 22, 2014 and has launched its product in April.

 

These sales do not include any sales for Vapolution, Inc. which is being held as an investment.

 

Our revenue recognition policy is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the recognition of sales when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of goods sold for the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $157,809 and $0 respectively. The increase is primarily due to the launch of our new business and sales of the mCig's and VitaCig's electronic cigarettes.

 

Cost of goods sold for mCig, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $149,312 and $0, respectively. And cost of goods sold for VitaCig, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $8,498 and $0, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operation expenses for the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were $333,834 and $156,796, respectively, an increase of $177,037, or approximately 53%. The increase is primarily due to the increase in professional fees, stock-based compensation and general and administrative expenses.

 

Our total operation expenses for the year ended April 30, 2014 consisted of $37,066 of professional fees, $6,554 of travel expenses, $5,506 of amortization, $94,299 of general and administrative expenses and $190,409 of share-based compensation. Our general and administrative expenses consist of bank charges, advertising and promotion, rent, computer and internet expenses, postage and delivery and other expenses.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from advances from a related party and the net proceeds from our private offerings of common stock. For the next twelve months, management does not anticipate the need for any cash provided by financing activities, since they believe that the Company has sufficient working capital through the end of Fiscal Year Ending April 30, 2015.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $383,050 during the year ended April 30, 2014 and was comprised of an advance payment in the amount of $83,050 from a related party and the sum of $300,000 received from the issuance of common stock for cash to an outside investor.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $63,745 during the year ended April 30, 2013 and was comprised of an advance payment from a related party.

 

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.

 

mCig, Inc. does not have any commitments to provide financing to its subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc., after the  planned spin-off.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, our management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.  These estimates and assumptions also affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Our financial statements include some amounts that are based on our management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation allowance for accounts receivable, returns, inventory, deferred taxes and various contingent liabilities. It is reasonably possible that the above-mentioned estimates and others may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant in future reporting periods.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, it requires recognition of future tax benefits, such as carry forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any 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 are material to investors. mCig, Inc. does not have any commitments to provide financing to its subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc., after the  planned (but subsequently completed after this report) spin-off

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

mCig Inc & Subsidiary.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated  balance sheets of Mcig Inc. and subsidiary as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 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 audits 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mcig Inc. and its subsidiary as of April 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

mCig, Inc.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended April 30, 2014 and 2013

(Audited)

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

mCig, Inc. (mCig) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010 originally under the name Lifetech Industries, Inc. Effective August 2, 2013, the name was changed from "Lifetech Industries, Inc." to "mCig, Inc." reflecting the new business model. Since October 2013, mCig, Inc. has positioned itself as a technology company focused on two long-term secular trends: (1) the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes - legalizing medicinal and recreational marijuana usage is steadily on the rise not only domestically but also internationally. Marijuana has been decriminalized in over twenty countries, in over five continents. Twenty three states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form http://www.governing.com/govdata/safetyjustice/statemarijuanalawsmapmedicalrecreational.html). Management believes that by 2016 it is very likely that many more states, including Alaska, California, Arizona, Maine, and Oregon, will legalize the use and sale of recreational marijuana the way Washington and Colorado have.  (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (commonly known as “eCigs”),  as smokers move away from traditional cigarettes onto e-cigarettes. Smoking tobacco causes numerous health problems, including disease and death. Smoking becomes very addicting quickly, and the most difficult part is cessation. The Company contends that e-cigarettes offer a safer and healthier alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes operate by heating a mixture of liquid nicotine and flavoring, which is then inhaled and exhaled in the same manner as a cigarette. However, e-cigarettes do not contain any tobacco or other dangerous additives. Scientific research has shown that the leading cause of cancer in smokers comes from the carcinogens in tobacco. As the movement towards personal health grows, smokers are trying to quit their harmful habits. Management believes that e-cigarettes provide a safe transition from harmful traditional cigarettes.  

 

All agreements related to the Lifetech business are terminated and closed as of April 30, 2014. It will not have any impact on the current and future operations because all of these agreements are related to the previous business directions of the Company.

 

We manufacture and retail the mCig – an affordable loose-leaf eCig. Designed in the USA – the mCig provides a smoking experience by heating plant material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation experience. The Company also maintains an investment in Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers such as the Vapolution 2.0. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc., the Company is engaged in the manufacturing and retailing of a nicotine-free eCig that delivers a water-vapor mixed with vitamins and natural flavors.

 

On January 23, 2014, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers. In accordance with this agreement mCig, Inc. acquired 100% of Vapolution, Inc.; as part of this transaction mCig, Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares to shareholders of Vapolution, Inc.  The shareholders of Vapolution, Inc. retain the right to rescind the transaction, which expires on January 23, 2015.

 

On January 23, 2014, Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc. has cancelled an equal amount (2,500,000 shares) of common shares owned by him resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders. The remaining 2,500,000 of common shares owned by Paul Rosenberg will be cancelled on the one year anniversary of the agreement, specifically on January 23, 2015, to offset the 2,500,000 new shares issued from the treasury to complete the purchase of Vapolution, Inc.

 

On February 24, 2014 the company entered into a Contribution Agreement with VitaCig, Inc. In accordance with this agreement VitaCig, Inc. accepted the contribution by mCig, Inc. of specific assets consisting solely of pending trademarks for the term “VitaCig” filed with the USPTO and $500 in cash as contribution in exchange for 500,135,000 shares of common capital stock representing 100% of the shares outstanding of VitaCig, Inc.

 

mCig, Inc., will be distributing to its shareholders 270,135,000 shares of Common Stock of VitaCig, Inc. owned by mCig, a shareholder of VitaCig. The shareholders of mCig will receive one share of VitaCig common stock for every one shares of mCig common stock that they hold as of the record date. 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit at April 30, 2014 of $381,653 and needs additional cash to maintain its operations.

F-6


 

These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company’s executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.

 

The plan is contingent that product sales will begin to cover all costs, as the Company begins to expect to become profitable by January 1, 2015. To be able to accomplish this the Company will be able to do so by raising prices on all of its products. The Company’s plan all along was to enter the market with a pricing strategy that was substantially below its competitors. By utilizing this pricing strategy, the Company was able to obtain new customers and to grow its brands. Through observation and market study, management was able to determine that the demand for its product was inelastic. As a result, he Company originally priced the mCig 2.0 at $10 per unit. By August of 2014, when the Company expects to launch mCig 2.5, the price is expected to hit $15. As opposed to the mCig 2.0, which did not provide any profit margin for the Company, as they used this opportunity to expand, the price of the mCig 2.5 will leave plenty of room for a hefty profit margin for the Company. For VitaCigs, the Company used somewhat of a different pricing strategy. Originally, they were launched at $2 per unit. Within a month after the launch, the price of the unit went up to $3, Only by August of 2014, management expects for the price to finally hit its market price at $5 per unit. 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period.

 

Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of consolidated financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the valuation of its proprietary technology and its valuation of its common stock.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments that mature within three months of their acquisition date. Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and liquidity funds with financial institutions and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. For cash management purposes the company concentrates its cash holdings in an account at Bank of America.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The acquired software technologies are reviewed annually for impairment.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term

maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

 

Fair value is focused on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information is prioritized over entity specific information and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is used based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

F-7


The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or are not considered to be active;

 

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at April 30, 2014 and April 30, 2013 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

 

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.

 

The Company uses the two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At April 30, 2014, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the recognition of sales when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.

F-8


 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished product, mCig and VitaCig electronic vaporizing cigarettes valued at the lower of cost or market valuation under the first-in, first-out method of costing.

 

Warranties

 

Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, based on actual warranty experience as it becomes available and other known factors that may impact the Company’s evaluation of historical data. Management reviews mCig’s reserves at least quarterly to ensure that its accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and the Company will adjust its estimates as needed. Initial warranty data can be limited early in the launch of a product and accordingly, the adjustments that are recorded may be material. Because of the nature of its products, customers are made aware that as soon as a mCig is packed with marijuana, they automatically void their warranty, primarily because it is against federal laws to mail a product that has been in proximity of marijuana. As a result, the products that can be returned as a warranty replacement is extremely limited. For VitaCig, the warranty limitations are extremely limited, since as soon as a customer takes off the freshness seal of the product, the warranty is no longer applicable. As a result, due to the Company’s warranty policy, the Company did not have any significant warranty expenses to report as of the year Ended April  30, 2014. Based on these actual expenses, the warranty reserve, as estimated by management as of the year Ended April 30, 2014 was at $0. Any adjustments to warranty reserves are to be recorded in cost of sales.

 

It is likely that as we start selling higher priced products, that are not affected by federal shipping laws and/or are not single use items (such as eLiquid Juice Vaporizer), we will acquire additional information on the projected costs to service work under warranty and may need to make additional adjustments. Further, a small change in the Company’s warranty estimates may result in a material charge to the Company’s reported financial results.

 

Product exchanges and product returns

 

The total for product exchanges and product returns as of April 30, 2014 were minimal. As a result, all product exchanges and product returns were recorded as a reduction to revenues.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting or requisite service period.

 

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States Dollar.

Website development costs

 

Under the provisions of FASB-ASC Topic 350, the Company previously capitalized costs of design, configuration, coding, installation, and testing of the Company’s website up to its initial implementation. Costs will be amortized to expense over an estimated useful life of three years using the straight-line method. Ongoing website post- implementation cost of operations, including training and application, are expensed as incurred. The Company evaluates the recoverability of website development costs in accordance with FASB-ASC Topic 350. As of the year ended April 30, 2014, management does not believe that there is a need for the impairment of costs incurred towards the development of its website.

F-9


 

Investment in Vapolution

 

The Company has determined the appropriate way to report its deposit in Vapolution using the cost method of accounting. Specifically, as reported Per ASC 325-20-25-1, the fair value of restricted stock is not readily determinable since the seller has the right to rescind the agreement effective through January 23, 2015. Therefore the Company has recorded this as a deposit on the cost method, mCig reported its deposit in Vapolution as of April 30, 2014 in the amount of $625,000. The Company issued the 2,500,000 in common stock as a deposit and the transaction with Vapolution will then be finally transacted on January 23, 2015 when the right to rescind the transaction has expired.

 

The Company has treated this transaction as a deposit since the payment of the 2,500,000 million shares is a pre-closing deposit.  The Company will true up the remaining balance of the shares to be issued in January of 2015 after the right to rescind the transaction has expired as noted in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company intends to revalue the transaction in January based up on the current performance of the operations. The Company does not presently have control of Vapolution and will not until the final closing of this transaction. At that time the Company will treat this acquisition in January of 2015 as a Business Combination with the appropriate disclosures.

According to his employment agreement he should be paid 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for the first year. On November 26, 2014, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common to Mark Link horst for future services to be rendered. Simultaneously, Paul Rosenberg cancelled an equal amount of shares (500,000) owned by him. On this date, these shares had a FMV of $41,500 based on the price on the date of grant, and was classified as a capital contribution on the Company’s books.

 

Below is a breakdown of the accounting for the capital contribution for the issuance of 500,000 common shares to Mr. Link horst:

 

Prepaid Expenses

6,253

The remaining 500,000 shares of common stock that are owed to Mr. Link horst for his future services as COO of mCig, Inc. will be paid out and recorded at FMV on a monthly basis, at a rate of 83,333 shares per month.

 

As of April 30, 2014, none of these common stock shares were earned by Mr. Link horst. As a result, this expense was not accrued in the current period.

 

On January 23, 2014, Mr. Paul Rosenberg has cancelled 2,500,000 shares of common stock owned by him, as part of a Stock Purchase Agreement between mCig and Vapolution, Inc. resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders.

 

On January 31, 2014, Mr. Paul Rosenberg, President and CEO, agreed to forgive all debts (the sum of $65,050) owed to him by the Company and recorded as Additional paid in capital.

As of April 30, 2014, Mr. Paul Rosenberg cancelled 665,882 numbers of shares for services rendered by employees and consultants and 135,000 shares of common stock were issued by the Company for services rendered. The total amount of these shares, included as part of the Company’s equity roll-forward equaled $189,470.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

As of April 30, 2014, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets.  As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had approximately $191,244 and $260,087 of federal and state operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.

 

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2014 and 2013 was $66,935 and $91,030, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and recorded a full valuation allowance.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 16, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the conversion rate of ten for one (ten shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock). In addition, the Board of Directors reduced the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the amount issued and outstanding (23,000,000) and executed a lock up agreement such that Mr. Rosenberg cannot convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until after the year ended April 30, 2015.

 

A Report on Form 8-K was filed on July 18, 2014 and an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed with the State of Nevada (to be included, upon receipt of the stamped filed copy, as an Exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014). The intent of this action was to allow Mr. Rosenberg, who cancelled 230,000,000 shares of the Company common stock held by Mr. Rosenberg in exchange for 23,000,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, to be placed back in the position he was in prior to the exchange of common stock for preferred. Mr. Rosenberg undertook this action in the best interests of the shareholders in order to provide the availability of additional shares of common stock for prospective mergers or acquisitions.

 

As Mr. Rosenberg is the sole director and holds the majority of capital voting shares, the decision was subjective and based upon his best judgment and his fiduciary duty to the shareholders. As the sole director and the holder of the majority of capital voting shares there is a risk that Mr. Rosenberg can reverse his decision or convert his Series A Convertible Shares after April 30, 2015, significantly diluting the common stock.  There are no plans or intentions for Mr. Rosenberg to convert his Series A Preferred Stock at present or after April 30, 2015.

 

On May 30, 2014, the Company signed a Consulting agreement with a world famous skateboarder, stuntman, director, actor, musician, television and radio personality, Brandon Cole Margera AKA “Bam Margera”. He has officially joined mCig, Inc. and VitaCig, Inc. as a brand ambassador. As part of this role, Bam Margera will endorse company products for a period of one year. These endorsements will appear online and offline through various media distribution channels. 

 

On June 6, 2014, the Company signed a Consulting agreement with a world famous American rapper, William Leonard Roberts II AKA "Rick Ross". Having joined mCig, Inc. as a brand ambassador, Rick Ross will initiate national product endorsements by means of his social media platforms and through various media distribution channels.

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

None.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain and develop disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers.

 

Under the new management team, as required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of April 30, 2014, as described below.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, currently the same person, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2014, based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Our management believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of our accounting staff. The small size of our accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the high cost of such remediation relative the benefit expected to be derived thereby.

 

We anticipate that when we obtain sufficient funding and have substantial production, we will resolve the segregation of duties issue by naming a CFO or new company officer that will resolve any issues surrounding segregation of duties.

36


 

In the interim period, to mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to create a new finance and accounting position that will allow for proper segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function.  As our financing staff grows we will prepare and implement appropriate written policies and checklists which set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the duties within the internal control framework. These current control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

 

During the fourth quarter, ended April 30, 2014, the Company identified a deficiency in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that constitutes a material weakness as of April 30, 2013. Specifically, our management review controls failed to detect errors in the initial filed Form 10-K. The annual report was not signed and no material contracts and other exhibits were filed. As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that we did not maintain effective control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2014.

 

We will remediate the above identified material weakness and improve our internal control system including: improving processes, implementing additional controls and increased precision around management’s review controls. The management team will also provide guidance to employees to ensure clear understanding of the controls and procedures. The firm will utilize its technology to assist in the process of overseeing its business practices.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework as of the year ended April 30, 2014. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of April 30, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of limited staff and a need for a full-time chief financial officer. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

(b) Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

37


 

(b) Changes in internal control

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1)Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on April 30, 2014.  As of April 30, 2014 there were 270,135,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized capital of the Company is 560,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. 

 

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders, including the election of directors. Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect the entire board of directors if they choose to do so and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to our board of directors.

The holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors, in its discretion, from funds legally available there for and subject to prior dividend rights of holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock which may be outstanding. Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior liquidation rights of the holders of our Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis our remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are, and all shares being offered by this prospectus will be, fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by the Company.

 

Stock split

 

Effective July 31, 2013, the company effected a 1 old for 10 new forward stock split of the Company’s common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 200,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.0001.

 

On December 12, 2013, the company made an amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of Common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, from 1,000,000,000 shares to 560,000,000 shares.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On September 23, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation / Exchange / Return to Treasury Agreement with Paul Rosenberg, the chief executive officer of mCig, Inc., for the cancellation of 230,000,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Rosenberg in exchange for 23,000,000 shares of our company’s Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Agreement the Preferred Shares only have voting rights and no right to convert to common stock in accordance with the Certificate of Certification filed with the State of Nevada on September 10, 2013. The Series A Preferred shares of mCig, Inc. carry ten (10) votes per each share of Preferred stock while mCig, Inc.’s common shares carry one (1) vote per each share outstanding. 

 

On April 10, 2014, the Share Cancellation / Exchange / Return to Treasury Agreement was amended. Under terms of the amended agreement, all or any part of the Preferred Shares held by Shareholder can be converted at any time or from time to time, and can be exchanged for a stated number of the company's Common Stock Shares.  The amendment was rejected by the State of Nevada as the conversion did not have a stated number of shares that converts and thus was invalid.

43


 

On July 16, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the conversion rate of ten for one (ten shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock). In addition, the Board of Directors reduced the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the amount issued and outstanding (23,000,000) and executed a lock up agreement such that Mr. Rosenberg cannot convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until after the year ended April 30, 2015.  The Certificate of Certification was filed on July 17, 2014 with the State of Nevada.   

 

The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock ("Junior Stock"). The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding.  No dividend shall be declared or paid on the Preferred Stock and no preemptive rights.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote those number of shares equal to ten times the amount of the Series A Preferred Stock held by the individual. The individual, through the ownership of this Series A Preferred Stock, has the voting power to act on the behalf of the Corporation, to call a special meeting of the shareholders, to remove and/or replace the Board of Directors or management or any individual members thereof in the event that one or more of the foregoing has done, or failed to do, anything which, in his sole judgment, will materially and adversely impact the business of the Corporation in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any violations of any state or federal securities laws, or any action which could cause the bankruptcy, dissolution, or other termination of the Corporation. In no event will the ombudsman have the right or power to participate in the normal and usual daily operations of the Corporation.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends prior to a business combination.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Under the Nevada General Corporation Law, we can indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that, pursuant to Nevada law, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to us and our stockholders. This provision in the articles of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Nevada law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Nevada law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

Our bylaws, as amended, provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law. We are not, however, required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any (a) willful misconduct, (b) willful neglect, or (c) gross negligence toward or on behalf of us in the performance of his or her duties as a director or officer. We are required to advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly on request, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with that proceeding on receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of that director or officer to repay those amounts if it should be determined ultimately that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, any indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

44


 

Amendment of our Bylaws

 

 Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares. Subject to applicable law, our bylaws also may be adopted, amended or repealed by our Board of Directors.

 

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

 

On July 13, 2011, the Officer of the Company contributed an amount of $100 towards additional paid in capital.

 

As of April 30, 2013, the Company was obligated to Mr. Benjamin Chung for an unsecured and non-interest bearing demand loan with a balance of $172,678.

 

Effective April 19, 2013, Benjamin Chung and Paul Rosenberg signed the “Debt Assignment, Consent and Release Agreement”, according to which the Assignor (Benjamin Chung) grants, assign, transfer and set over unto the Assignee (Paul Rosenberg) his entire right, title and interest in and to the Debt upon the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement.

As of October 31, 2013, the President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Paul Rosenberg advanced the Company the amount of $65,050 for operating purposes.

 

On November 26, 2013, Mark Linkhorst was appointed as Chief Operation Officer (COO) of the Company. According to his employment agreement he should be paid 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for the first year. On November 26, 2013, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common to Mark Linkhorst for future services to be rendered. Simultaneously, Paul Rosenberg cancelled an equal amount of shares (500,000) owned by him. On this date, these shares had a FMV of $41,500 based on the price on the date of grant, and was classified as a capital contribution on the Company’s books.

 

The remaining 500,000 shares of common stock that are owed to Mr. Linkhorst for his future services as COO of mCig, Inc. will be paid out and recorded at FMV on a monthly basis, at a rate of 83,333 shares per month. As of April 30, 2014, Mr. Linkhorst has received an aggregate of 500,000 shares.

 

As of April 30, 2014, none of these common stock shares were earned by Mr. Linkhorst. As a result, this expense was not accrued in the current period.

 

On January 23, 2014, Mr. Paul Rosenberg has cancelled 2,500,000 shares of common stock owned by him, as part of a Stock Purchase Agreement between mCig and Vapolution, Inc. resulting in a net non-dilutive transaction to existing mCig, Inc. shareholders.

Furthermore, an additional 135,000 shares of common stock were issued by the Company for services rendered by employees and consultants. The total amount of these shares, included as part of the Company’s equity roll-forward equaled $189,470.

 

Director Independence

 

We have determined that we do not have any directors who are independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.

 

Currently we do not have audit, nominating or compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

45


 

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 and for fiscal year ended April 30, 2013 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
