2. GOING CONCERN
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, at June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,148,781 and a working capital deficiency of $4,257,372 as well as negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,319,077 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. These conditions represent material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months without additional financing or increased revenues.
 
To meet these objectives, the Company continues to seek other sources of financing in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. However, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, if at all. Failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
 
(a)
Basis of Consolidation
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Gilla Operations, LLC (“Gilla Operations”); E Vapor Labs Inc.; E-Liq World, LLC; Charlie’s Club, Inc. (“Charlie’s Club”); Gilla Enterprises Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Gilla Europe Kft.; Gilla Operations Worldwide Limited (“Gilla Worldwide”); Gilla Franchises, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Legion of Vape, LLC.; and Snoke Distribution Canada Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Snoke Distribution USA, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
(b)
Advertising Costs
 
In accordance with ASC 720, the Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company expensed $158,553 (June 30, 2015: $67,597) as corporate promotions, these amounts have been recorded as administrative expense.
 
(c)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and other than the below, does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), requiring an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, deferring the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year, and thus, the new standard will be effective for us beginning on February 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted on or after February 1, 2017. This standard may be adopted using either the full or modified retrospective methods. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet statement of financial position. The amendments in the update require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
8
 
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize all leases with terms in excess of one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The new standard also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein and must be adopted using a modified retrospective method for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
(a) On July 1, 2015, the Company closed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of E Vapor Labs, a Florida based E-liquid manufacturer. The Company purchased E Vapor Labs in order to procure an E-liquid manufacturing platform allowing the Company to secure large private label contracts as well as manufacture its own brands going forward.

In consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid to the vendors, $225,000 in cash on closing and $900,000 in unsecured promissory notes issued on the closing (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were issued in three equal tranches of $300,000 due four (4), nine (9) and eighteen (18) months respectfully from the closing (individually, “Promissory Notes A”, “Promissory Notes B”, and “Promissory Notes C” respectively). The Promissory Notes are all unsecured, non-interest bearing, and on the maturity date, at the option of the vendors, up to one third (1/3) of each tranche of the Promissory Notes can be repaid in Common Shares of the Company, calculated using the 5 day weighted average closing market price of the Company prior to the maturity of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes, are all and each subject to adjustments as outlined in the share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), dated June 25, 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company adjusted the Promissory Notes A for $116,683 which is the known difference in the working capital balance at closing of the acquisition from the amount specified in the SPA. Further, a 12% discount rate has been used to calculate the present value of the Promissory Notes based on the Company’s estimate of cost of financing for comparable notes with similar term and risk profiles. Over the term of the respective Promissory Notes, interest will be accrued at 12% per annum to accrete the Promissory Notes to their respective principal amounts. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $23,246 in interest expense related to the accretion of the Promissory Notes.
 
The Promissory Notes A were due on November 1, 2015. The Company provided notice to the Promissory Note holders on October 30, 2015 indicating its intention to repay such Promissory Notes, however, such inability to accurately determine the required adjustments pursuant to the SPA has forced the Company to defer repayment of such Promissory Notes until such time where the principal amount of the Promissory Notes can be accurately determined (note 17).
 
Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and brands. Brand intangibles represents the estimated fair value of the trade names acquired. Customer relationship intangibles relates to the ability to sell existing and future products to E Vapor Lab’s existing and potential customers.

Of the $178,000 Convertible Debentures issued on February 11, 2014, $3,000 were issued in settlement of loans from shareholders and $50,000 were issued in settlement of loans from related parties.
 
On December 31, 2015, the Company issued 650 unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units”) for proceeds of $650,000. Each Convertible Debenture Unit consisted of an unsecured subordinated convertible debenture having a principal amount of $1,000 (the “Convertible Debentures No.2”) and warrants exercisable for the purchase of 5,000 Common Shares of the Company (note 14). The Convertible Debentures No.2 mature on January 31, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The Convertible Debentures No.2 are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $0.10 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company will have the option to force conversion of the Convertible Debentures No.2 at any time after six months from issuance and prior to the maturity date of January 31, 2018. Of the $650,000 Convertible Debentures No.2 issued, $276,000 were issued in settlement of loans from related parties (note 16), $10,000 were issued in settlement of related party consulting fees (note 16), $20,000 were issued in settlement of consulting fees owing to an unrelated party and $227,000 were issued in settlement of loans from shareholders.
 
On May 20, 2016, the Company issued 375 unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units No.2”) for proceeds of $375,000. Each Convertible Debenture Unit No.2 consisted of an unsecured subordinated convertible debenture having a principal amount of $1,000 (the “Convertible Debentures No.3”) and warrants exercisable for the purchase of 10,000 Common Shares of the Company (note 14). The Convertible Debentures No.3 mature on January 31, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The Convertible Debentures No.3 are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $0.10 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company will have the option to force conversion of the Convertible Debentures No.3 at any time after six months from issuance and prior to the maturity date of January 31, 2018. For Canadian purchasers, the Company may only force conversion of the Convertible Debentures No.3 at such time that the Company is a reporting issuer within the jurisdiction of Canada. Of the $375,000 Convertible Debentures No.3 issued, $55,000 were issued in settlement of amounts owing to related parties (note 16), and $10,000 were issued in settlement of amounts owing to an employee. The Company incurred costs of $22,725 as a result of the Convertible Debentures No.3.
 
The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Convertible Debentures, Convertible Debentures No.2 and Convertible Debentures No. 3 under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The conversion feature met the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a limitation on the number of shares issuable under the arrangement. The instrument was convertible into a fixed number of shares and there were no down round protection features contained in the contracts.
 
Since a portion of the Convertible Debentures, Convertible Debentures No.2 and Convertible Debentures No. 3 were issued as an exchange of nonconvertible instruments at the nonconvertible instruments maturity date, the guidance of ASC 470-20-30-19 & 20 was applied. The fair value of the newly issued Convertible Debentures was equal to the redemption amounts owed at the maturity date of the original instruments. Therefore there was no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt recorded. After the exchange occurred, the Company was required to consider whether the new hybrid contracts embodied a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).
 
For the face value $425,000 Convertible Debentures that were issued on September 3, 2013, the calculation of the effective conversion amount did not result in a BCF because the effective conversion price was greater than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, therefore no BCF was recorded. However, for the face value $797,000 Convertible Debentures that were issued on December 23, 2013 and the face value $178,000 Convertible Debentures that were issued on February 11, 2014, the calculation of the effective conversion amount did result in a BCF because the effective conversion price was less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance and a BCF in the amounts of $797,000 and $178,000, respectively, were recorded in additional paid-in capital. The BCF results in a debt discount which is accreted over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $17,342 (June 30, 2015: $25,832 and $87,609) related to debt discount.
 
 
18
 
 
For the face value $650,000 Convertible Debenture Units, the relative fair value of the warrants included in the Convertible Debenture Units of $287,757 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting fair value of the Convertible Debentures No.2 was calculated to be $362,243. The calculation of the effective conversion resulted in a BCF because the effective conversion price was less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance and a BCF in the amount of $133,657 was recorded in additional paid-in capital. The BCF and the fair value of the warrants, which represents debt discount, is accreted over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $8,334 and $13,130 (June 30, 2015: nil) related to debt discount.
 
For the face value $375,000 Debenture Units No.2, the relative fair value of the warrants included in the Convertible Debenture Units No.2 of $234,737 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting fair value of the Convertible Debentures No.3 was calculated to be $140,263. The calculation of the effective conversion resulted in a BCF because the effective conversion price was less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance and a BCF in the amount of $117,538, which is net of transaction costs, was recorded in additional paid-in capital. The BCF and the fair value of the warrants, which represents debt discount, is accreted over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $5,814 (June 30, 2015: nil) related to debt discount.
 
Since issuance of the Convertible Debenture Units and Convertible Debenture Units No.2, the Company has accreted $19,630 and $5,814, respectively, related to discount for a total amount of $25,444 which has been recorded as a long term liability on the balance sheet.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company made no payments related to the royalty agreement.
 
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
(i) Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to fluctuations in the realizable values of its cash and trade receivable. Cash accounts are maintained with major international financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers and the related accounts receivable are subject to normal commercial credit risks. A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated with a limited number of large customers all of which the Company believes are subject to normal industry credit risks. At June 30, 2016, the Company booked an allowance of bad debt of $20,615 (December 31, 2015:$20,370) in regards customers with past due amounts. For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, 60% (December 31, 2015: 38%) of the Company’s trade receivables are due from one customer and 80% of the trade receivables are due from four customers. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, 36% of the Company’s sales were to one customer and 54% of the Company’s sales were from two customers.
 
(ii) Liquidity Risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company manages liquidity risk by closely monitoring changing conditions in its investees, participating in the day to day management and by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At June 30, 2016, the Company had liabilities due to unrelated parties through its financial obligations over the next five years in the aggregate principal amount of $5,410,644 (December 31, 2015: $1,987,967). Of such amount, the Company has obligations to repay $3,666,994 over the next twelve months with the remaining $1,743,650 becoming due within the following four year period.
 
(iii) Foreign Currency Risk
 
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The risks and fluctuations are related to cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in CAD and HUF.

Analysis by currency in Canadian and Hungarian equivalents is as follows:
 
June 30, 2016
 
Accounts Payable
 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
 
Cash
 
CAD
  $265,730 
  $- 
  $11,196 
HUF
  $260,763 
  $90,472 
  $12,487 
 
The effect of a 10% strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and Hungarian Forint at the reporting date on the CAD and HUF-denominated trade receivables and payables carried at that date would, had all other variables held constant, have resulted in an increase in profit for the year and increase of net assets of $25,453 and $15,780, respectively. A 10% weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased profit and decreased net assets by $25,453 and $15,780, respectively. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, amounts denominated in Euros were minimal and did not subject the Company to significant currency risk.
 
The Company purchases inventory in a foreign currency, at June 30, 2016, the Company included $147,656 (December 31, 2015: $146) in inventory purchased in a foreign currency on its condensed consolidated interim balance sheet. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to this risk.
 
(iv) Interest Rate Risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its fixed interest rate financial instruments. These fixed-rate instruments subject the Company to a fair value risk. The interest rates on all of the Company’s existing interest bearing debt are fixed. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 25 basis points change in rates would not significantly affect the fair value of this debt.

In consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid to the vendors, $225,000 in cash on closing and $900,000 in unsecured promissory notes issued on the closing (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were issued in three equal tranches of $300,000 due four (4), nine (9) and eighteen (18) months respectfully from the closing (individually, “Promissory Notes A”, “Promissory Notes B”, and “Promissory Notes C” respectively). The Promissory Notes are all unsecured, non-interest bearing, and on the maturity date, at the option of the vendors, up to one third (1/3) of each tranche of the Promissory Notes can be repaid in Common Shares of the Company, calculated using the 5 day weighted average closing market price of the Company prior to the maturity of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes, are all and each subject to adjustments as outlined in the share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), dated June 25, 2015.
 
At December 31, 2015, the Company adjusted the Promissory Notes A for $116,683 which is the known difference in the working capital balance at closing of the acquisition from the amount specified in the SPA. Further, a 12% discount rate has been used to calculate the present value of the Promissory Notes based on the Company’s estimate of cost of financing for comparable notes with similar term and risk profiles. Over the term of the respective Promissory Notes, interest will be accrued at 12% per annum to accrete the Promissory Notes to their respective principal amounts. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $23,246 in interest expense related to the accretion of the Promissory Notes.
 
The Promissory Notes A were due on November 1, 2015. The Company provided notice to the Promissory Note holders on October 30, 2015 indicating its intention to repay such Promissory Notes, however, such inability to accurately determine the required adjustments pursuant to the SPA has forced the Company to defer repayment of such Promissory Notes until such time where the principal amount of the Promissory Notes can be accurately determined.

The earn-out commences on the closing date and pays up to a maximum of 25% of the gross profit stream. The number of Common Shares issuable will be calculated and priced using the weighted average closing market price of the Company, as quoted by the OTC Markets Group, for the five trading days prior to each issuance date. Further, a 12% discount rate has been used to calculate the present value of the Amounts Owing on Acquisition. Over the term of the respective deferred payments, interest will be accrued at 12% per annum to accrete the payments to their respective principal amounts.

On April 15, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with TMA and the Pennington family, being Joshua Pennington, Nicole Pennington and Mike Simon (collectively, the “Pennington Family”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, the parties settled: (i) any and all compensation and expenses owing by the Company to the Pennington Family and (ii) all remaining consideration payable by the Company to TMA under the asset purchase agreement totaling $400,000 which was due in cash and common stock in exchange for the Company paying to TMA and the Pennington Family a totalconsideration of $133,163 payable as $100,000 in cash and $33,163 in assets as payments in kind. Of the $100,000 payable in cash, $45,000 was paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, $27,500 was payable thirty days following the execution of the Settlement Agreement and the remaining $27,500 payable at the later of (i) sixty days following the execution of the Settlement Agreement, or (ii) the completion of the historical audit of the TMA. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has recorded a gain on settlement in the amount of $274,051. As at June 30, 2016, $55,000 remains payable to TMA and the Pennington Family. In addition, the employment agreements between the Company and Joshua Pennington and Nicole Pennington were mutually terminated and all amounts were fully settled pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Due to change in circumstance, the Company tested goodwill for impairment and as a result, the Company has fully impaired goodwill related to TMA in the amount of $208,376 which represents the value of workforce and business acumen acquired.
 
Term Loan
 
On January 18, 2016, the Company entered into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) with the Lenders, a consortium of participants that includes two of the Company’s senior executive officers, whereby the Lenders would loan the Company the aggregate principal amount of CAD $1,000,000 for capital expenditures, marketing expenditures and working capital. The agent who arranged the Term Loan was not a related party of the Company. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 16% per annum, on the outstanding principal, and shall mature on July 3, 2017, whereby any outstanding principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. The Term Loan is subject to a monthly cash sweep, calculated as the total of (i) CAD $0.50 for every E-liquid bottle, smaller than 15ml, sold by the Company within a monthly period; and (ii) CAD $1.00 for every E-liquid bottle, greater than 15ml, sold by the Company within a monthly period (the “Cash Sweep”). The Cash Sweep will be disbursed to the Lenders in the following priority: first, to pay the monthly interest due on the Term Loan; and second, to repay any remaining principal outstanding on the Term Loan. The Company may elect to repay the outstanding principal of the Term Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon prior to the maturity, subject to an early repayment penalty of the maximum of (i) 3 months interest on the outstanding principal; or (ii) 50% of the interest payable on the outstanding principal until maturity. The Term Loan shall be immediately due and payable at the option of the Lenders if there is a change in key personnel meaning the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. On January 18, 2016 and in connection to the Term Loan, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 250,000 Common Shares of the Company exercisable until December 31, 2017 with an exercise price of $0.20 per Common Share. In addition, the Company also extended the expiration date of the 250,000 warrants issued on August 1, 2014 in connection with the Credit Facility until December 31, 2017, with all other terms of the warrants remaining the same.
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are both participants of the consortium of participants of the Term Loan, each having committed to provide ten percent of the principal amount of the Term Loan. Neither the Chief Executive Officer nor the Chief Financial Officer will participate in the warrants issued or warrants extended in connection with the Term Loan and both parties have been appropriately abstained from voting on the Board of Directors to approve the Term Loan, where applicable.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company was advanced $770,000 (CAD $1,000,000) from the Term Loan including the CAD $294,000 and CAD $3,093 rolled in from the Credit Facility as well as CAD $140,581 of advances from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company expensed $29,826 and $52,839 (June 30, 2015: nil), respectively, in interest as a result of the Term Loan. Pursuant to the Cash Sweep, during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid $51,208 to the Lender consisting of $44,333 in interest and $6,875 in principal payments and at June 30, 2016, the Company owes the lender $27,803 consisting of $10,063 in interest and $17,740 in principal payments, these amounts were paid on July 15, 2016 as per the terms of the Cash Sweep.
 
Shareholder Loan
 
On March 2, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a shareholder (the “Loan Agreement”), whereby the shareholder would make available to the Company the aggregate principal amount of CAD $670,000 (the “Shareholder Loan”) for capital expenditures, marketing expenditures and working capital. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Shareholder Loan was made available to the Company in two equal tranches of CAD $335,000 (USD $259,357), for a total loan amount of CAD $670,000 (USD $518,714), with the first tranche (“Loan Tranche A”) received on the closing date and the second tranche (“Loan Tranche B”) received on April 14, 2016. At June 30, 2016, CAD $52,000 (USD $40,258) of the Loan Tranche B is being held in trust by the shareholder to be released on the incurrence of specific expenses. The Shareholder Loan bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, on the outstanding principal, and shall mature on March 2, 2018, whereby any outstanding principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. The Company shall also repay 5% of the initial principal amount of Loan Tranche A and 5% of Loan Tranche B, monthly in arrears, with the first principal repayment beginning on June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, $337,164 of the amounts owing on the Loan Agreement have been recorded as current liabilities to reflect the monthly principal payments due over the next year. The Company may elect to repay the outstanding principal of the Shareholder Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon prior to maturity without premium or penalty. The Company also agreed to service the Shareholder Loan during the term prior to making any payments to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Board of Directors. The Shareholder Loan is secured by a general security agreement over the assets of the Company.
 
The Company accrued interest of $6,970 and $8,135 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: nil), respectively, on the Shareholder Loan. Accrued interest owing on the Shareholder Loan at June 30, 2016 is $8,347 (December 31, 2015: nil) which is included in accrued liabilities. At June 30, 2016, the Company owes the lender $25,936 in principal payments.

Convertible Debentures
 
On May 20, 2016, the Company issued 375 unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units No.2”) for proceeds of $375,000. Each Convertible Debenture Unit No.2 consisted of an unsecured subordinated convertible debenture having a principal amount of $1,000 (the “Convertible Debentures No.3”) and warrants exercisable for the purchase of 10,000 Common Shares of the Company (note 14). The Convertible Debentures No.3 mature on January 31, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The Convertible Debentures No.3 are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $0.10 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company will have the option to force conversion of the Convertible Debentures No.3 at any time after six months from issuance and prior to the maturity date of January 31, 2018. For Canadian purchasers, the Company may only force conversion of the Convertible Debentures No.3 at such time that the Company is a reporting issuer within the jurisdiction of Canada. Of the $375,000 Convertible Debentures No.3 issued, $55,000 were issued in settlement of amounts owing to related parties (note 16), and $10,000 were issued in settlement of amounts owing to an employee. The Company incurred costs of $22,725 as a result of the Convertible Debentures No.3.
 
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, at June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,148,781 and a working capital deficiency of $4,257,372 as well as negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,319,077 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. These conditions represent material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months without additional financing or increased revenues.
 
To meet these objectives, the Company continues to seek other sources of financing in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. However, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, if at all. Failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and other than the below, does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), requiring an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, deferring the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year, and thus, the new standard will be effective for us beginning on February 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted on or after February 1, 2017. This standard may be adopted using either the full or modified retrospective methods. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet statement of financial position. The amendments in the update require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
41
 
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize all leases with terms in excess of one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The new standard also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein and must be adopted using a modified retrospective method for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Management of the Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

These condensedconsolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Gilla Operations, LLC (“Gilla Operations”); E Vapor Labs Inc.; E-Liq World, LLC; Charlie’s Club, Inc. (“Charlie’s Club”); Gilla Enterprises Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Gilla Europe Kft.; Gilla Operations Worldwide Limited (“Gilla Worldwide”); Gilla Franchises, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Legion of Vape, LLC.; and Snoke Distribution Canada Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Snoke Distribution USA, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
Advertising Costs

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
 
42
 
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, we believe that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016, due to our limited resources and staff.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors 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 the 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, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On January 5, 2016, Yaron Elkayam, Pinchas Mamane and Levent Dikmen filed a three count complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, Florida alleging (i) breach of contract, (ii) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (iii) fraud in the inducement seeking damages in the amount of approximately $900,000 of Promissory Notes issued on July 1, 2015 as a result of the acquisition of E Vapor Labs. On February 23, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the basis of failure to allege sufficient jurisdictional facts and failure to satisfy constitutional due process requirements to exercise jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that the outcome of this complaint would not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition. The legal proceeding has been brought in Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, State of Florida, Civil Division under the following caption: Yaron Elkayam, Pinchas Mamane, Levent Dikmen, Plaintiffs, v.
