Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
(Amounts expressed in US Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Gilla Inc. (“Gilla”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 28, 1995 under the name of Truco, Inc. The shareholders approved a name change on March 22, 1996, March 18, 1997, September 13, 1999, October 3, 2000, April 23, 2003 and February 27, 2007 to Web Tech, Inc., Cynergy, Inc., Mercantile Factoring Credit Online Corp., Incitations, Inc., Osprey Gold Corp. and to its present name, respectively.
On November 21, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition of Snoke Distribution Canada Ltd. (“Snoke Distribution”) through the issuance of 29,766,667 Common Shares (as defined in note 12) of the Registrant.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a mineral-property development company specializing in acquiring and consolidating mineral properties with production potential and future growth through its exploration activities and its discoveries. Acquisition and development emphasis was focused on properties containing gold and other strategic minerals that were located in Africa.
On February 28, 2014, the Company closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Drinan Marketing Limited (“DML”), a private limited company engaged in the sales and distribution of electronic cigarettes (“E-cigarettes”) in Ireland. The Company issued to the sellers 500,000 Common Shares valued at $0.11 per share and warrants for the purchase of 1,000,000 Common Shares of the Company. On October 6, 2014, the Company appointed liquidators for the purpose of winding up DML by way of a voluntary liquidation by reason of its liabilities.
The current business of the Company consists of the design, marketing and distribution of electronic cigarettes (“E-cigarettes”), vaporizers, e-liquids and accessories. An E-cigarette is an electronic inhaler meant to simulate and substitute for traditional cigarettes. E-cigarettes are often designed to mimic traditional smoking implements, such as cigarettes or cigars, in their use and/or appearance, but do not burn tobacco. E-cigarettes generally use a heating element that vaporizes a liquid solution. When used, some E-cigarettes release nicotine, while others merely release flavored vapor, which allows users to replicate the smoking experience, nicotine free. The Company has a two-pronged business model: white-label solutions, including branding, marketing and sales support; and e-commerce solutions like Charlie’s Club, a members-only online e-cigarette monthly subscription service featuring free hardware and no contracts.
2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
These unaudited condensed consolidated 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 financial statements, at September 30, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,420,557, a working capital deficiency of $1,633,596 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,390,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and 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 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 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has updated its policy on Advertising Costs and added a new policy for Goodwill. These condensed consolidated 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, 2013, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Gilla Operations, LLC; Charlie’s Club, Inc.; Gilla Enterprises Inc.; Gilla Operations Worldwide Limited; Drinan Marketing Ltd.; Gilla Franchises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gilla Biscayne, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
(b) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Canadian dollars (CAD) which is also their functional currency. The Company’s Irish subsidiary maintains its books in Euros (EUR) which is also its functional currency. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries maintain their books and records in United States dollars (USD) which is both the Company’s functional currency and reporting currency. The accounts of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with provisions of ASC 830,
Foreign Currency Matters
. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year. In translating the financial statements of the Company's Canadian and Irish subsidiaries from their functional currencies into the Company's reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. The Company has not, to the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
(c) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the year, computed under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10,
Earnings per Share
(“ASC 260-10”). Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common stock equivalent shares outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013 that have been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
(d) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has become party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, funds held in trust, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, loan from shareholder and loans payable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value, due to their short term nature. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by FASB ASC No. 820,
Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
(“ASC 820”)
,
with the related amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to value these assets and liabilities at fair value for each level, are as follows:
|
●
|
Level 1
|
-
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
●
|
Level 2
|
-
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
|
|
●
|
Level 3
|
-
|
Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
|
Cash and cash equivalents and funds held in trust are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and classified as Level 1 hierarchy because measurements are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Fair value measurements of accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable are classified under Level 3 hierarchy because inputs are generally unobservable and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial instruments.
(e) Advertising Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 720, the Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, $136,200, in production costs were incurred, $90,800 of which have been allocated to prepaid expenses and vendor deposits on the consolidated balance sheet, $45,400 in production costs were expensed during the period representing the release of the first phase of the Company’s online advertising campaign. The Company expenses all other advertising costs as incurred. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company expensed $252,359 (September 30, 2013: $57,330) as corporate promotions.
(f) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by the Company in business combinations. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
(“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.
(g) Comprehensive Income or Loss
The Company reports comprehensive income or loss in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to items included in net income or loss, comprehensive income or loss includes items charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available for sale marketable securities.
(h) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year, include reserves and write downs of receivables and inventory, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill, impairment of property and equipment, valuing equity securities, valuation of convertible debenture conversion options and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain of our estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on the conditions and records adjustments when necessary.
(i) Website Development Costs
Under the provisions of FASB-ASC Topic 350, the Company capitalizes costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage. Capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the website. The Company has not yet recorded amortization of the website development costs as the development has not yet been completed. Ongoing website post-
implementation cost of operations, including training and application, will be expensed as incurred.
(j) Convertible Debt Instruments
The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company amortizes the respective debt discount over the term of the notes, using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company records, when necessary, induced conversion expense, at the time of conversion for the difference between the reduced conversion price per share and the original conversion price per share.
(k) 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 June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10,
Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation
. This ASU does the following among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275,
Risks and Uncertainties
, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this ASU and determined that it will early adopt beginning with the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
ASU 2014-15 requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
4. BUSINESS COMBINATION

In consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 500,000 Common Shares at $0.11 per share and 1,000,000 warrants (“Warrants”), each to acquire one Common Share of the Company. The Warrants will vest upon DML achieving cumulative E-cigarette sales revenues of over $1,500,000 beginning on the closing date. The Warrants are to be exercisable over 3 years with an exercise price of $0.25 per Common Share.
On October 6, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary DML held a meeting of DML’s creditors, whereby DML, with the approval of the Company as its sole shareholder, agreed that DML, by reason of its liabilities, be wound up by way of a voluntary liquidation and that Mr. Aengus Burns of the accounting firm of Grant Thorton and Mr. Patric Black of the accounting firm of CB Accounting Services be appointed as joint liquidators for the purposes of the winding up of DML.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as a result of DML’s expected voluntary liquidation by reason of its liabilities, the Company reflected a non cash charge of $167,538 as impairment of goodwill related to its investment in DML to reduce the carrying value of DML. Further, the Company wrote off $19,523 of uncollectible DML receivables and recorded a bad debt expense of $19,523 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014.
5. LOAN RECEIVABLE
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with DML, who at the time was a third party, in which the Company advanced $19,867 in cash to DML to purchase a receivable owing to DML from a customer (the “Receivable”) at face value. The Receivable purchased was required to be paid by the applicable customer on or before the date that is 30 days after the date of issuance of the Receivable. In addition to payment of the account, the Company was to receive an additional fee of 2% of the face amount of the Receivable. Default interest of 1/10th of 1% per day shall be calculated on the outstanding amount accruing from the due date until the amount is paid in full. The Receivable is secured by a general security agreement covering all assets of DML and a first security interest in respect of all receivables purchased by the Company under the factoring agreement.
Default interest in the amount of $1,538 was accrued on the Receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company determined the Receivable to be uncollectable and as a result recorded a loss of $21,405.
On February 28, 2014, the Company acquired DML. As a result, the Company reversed the write-off of the Receivable and recorded a gain of $19,867.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as a result of DML’s expected voluntary liquidation by reason of its liabilities, the Company wrote off the entire loan receivable from the previous shareholder of DML and recorded a loss on loan receivable of $86,615. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss on loan receivable of $66,748 as a result of the net effect of the $19,867 gain recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the $86,615 loss recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

On August 15, 2014, the Company settled CAD $1,500 of non-interest bearing shareholder loans with the issuance of 10,919 Common Shares of the Company.
9. CREDIT FACILITY
On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an unrelated party acting as an agent to a consortium of participants (the “Credit Lender”), whereby the Credit Lender would make a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of CAD $500,000 for the exclusive purpose of purchasing inventory for sale in the Company’s ordinary course of business to approved customers. The Credit Facility shall bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum on all drawn advances and a standby fee of 3.5% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility shall mature on August 1, 2015 whereby the outstanding advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. On August 1, 2014 and in connection to the Credit Facility, the Company issued 250,000 warrants to purchase Common Shares of the Company exercisable over two years with an exercise price of $0.30 per Common Share. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are both participants of the consortium of participants of the Credit Lender, each having committed to provide ten percent of the principal amount of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Note could be repaid, in whole or in part, without penalty with five days prior written notice. At any time subsequent to 30 days after the maturity date, the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest was convertible in to common stock at a conversion price of the lower of $0.01 per share or the average of the bid prices for the common stock of the Company for the 15 trading days prior to the notice of conversion.
On February 14, 2014, the Company repaid all amounts due under the Credit Note.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company accrued $1,638 of interest on the Credit Note (September 30, 2013:$11,758). At the repayment date, the accrued interest on the Credit Note was $17,015.
b) On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a secured promissory note with a related party (the “Related Party Note”) for $200,000 due on or before January 1, 2015, bearing interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. Interest was accrued and added to the principal amount of the Related Party Note at the maturity date. The related party was also to be paid an establishment fee of 2.0%. The Related Party Note was secured by a general security agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued $9,000 in interest on the Related Party Note and paid $3,000 of the accrued interest resulting in accrued interest payable of $6,000 on the Related Party Note at December 31, 2013.
On December 23, 2013, the Company issued a $200,000 Convertible Debenture, maturing on January 31, 2016 and bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum in settlement of the Related Party Note (note 11). Upon settlement of the Related Party Note, the establishment fee of 2.0% was waived by the related party.
11. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On September 3, 2013, December 23, 2013 and February 11, 2014, the Company issued $425,000, $797,000 and $178,000 of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”), respectively. The Convertible Debentures mature on January 31, 2016 and bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The Convertible Debentures are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $0.07 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. Of the $178,000 Convertible Debentures issued on February 11, 2014, $3,000 were issued in settlement of loans from shareholders (note 8) and $50,000 was issued in settlement of loans from related parties (note 15).
As at December 31, 2013, the Company received $45,000 in advance for Convertible Debentures not yet issued. Of this amount $25,000 was received by the Company in cash and $20,000 was collected by the Company’s lawyer and held in trust. The Company received the funds held in trust on February 21, 2014. These Debentures were issued February 11, 2014.
The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Convertible Debentures 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 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 which represents debt discount is accreted over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $704,780 related to debt discount, which includes $661,522 related to the conversion of Convertible Debentures in the aggregate amount of $850,000.
On April 15, 2014, the Company received forms of election whereby holders of the Convertible Debentures elected to convert a total of $50,000 into Common Shares of the Company at $0.07 per share pursuant to the Convertible Debenture offering. On May 30, 2014, the Company issued 714,286 Common Shares on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
On September 30, 2014, the Company received forms of election whereby holders of the Convertible Debenture elected to convert a total of $800,000 into Common Shares of the Company at $0.07 per share pursuant to the Convertible Debenture offering. On November 4, 2014, the Company issued 11,428,572 Common Shares on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company settled $78,559 in interest payable on the Convertible Debentures with 523,726 Common Shares of the Company which were issued on November 4, 2014.

(a) On February 28, 2014, as part of the acquisition of DML, the Company issued Warrants to acquire 1,000,000 Common Shares of the Company. The Warrants will vest upon DML achieving cumulative E-cigarette sales revenues of over $1,500,000 beginning on the closing date. The Warrants are to be exercisable over 3 years with an exercise price of $0.25 per Common Share.
The fair value of these issued Warrants of $109,471 was determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company previously estimated the probability of DML achieving the vesting provision (cumulative E-cigarette sales revenue of $1,500,000) to be 100%. The probability weighted fair value of the Warrants is being amortized and recorded as stock based compensation expense using the percentage of the total vesting provision achieved in each quarter based on sales revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company expensed $2,665 in stock based compensation. The Company has since placed DML into voluntary liquidation, and as a result, the probability of achieving the vesting provision is now 0%, and the Company has therefore reversed the stock compensation expense.
(b) On July 25, 2014, and in connection to the private placement, the Company issued 10,640 warrants to purchase Common Shares of the Company exercisable over one year with an exercise price of $0.15 per Common Share.
The fair value of these issued warrants of $2,615 was determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

(c) On August 1, 2014, and in connection to the Credit Facility, the Company issued 250,000 warrants to purchase Common Shares of the Company exercisable over two years with an exercise price of $0.30 per Common Share.

The Company booked the value of the warrants as prepaid to be expensed over the life of the Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company expensed $7,397 in stock based compensation which has been recorded as an administrative expense.
(d) During fiscal 2012, the Company issued warrants to acquire 1,516,667 Common Shares. These warrants were included in units issued as part of a private placement. Each unit of the private placement was comprised of one Common Share of the Company and one half purchase warrant. Each warrant entitled the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share. The warrants expired 6 months from the date of issuance.
The fair value of these issued warrants of $18,835 was determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND RISK FACTOR
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 accounts receivable. Cash accounts are maintained with major international financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company minimizes its exposure to credit risk related to its receivables by requiring all orders to be prepaid before delivery of the product.
(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.
(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 Company purchases inventory in a foreign currency, at September 30, 2014, the Company included $17,235 in inventory purchased in a foreign currency on its 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.

Overview
Gilla was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 28, 1995 under the name of Truco, Inc. The Company later changed its name to Web Tech, Inc., and then to Cynergy, Inc., Mercantile Factoring Credit Online Corp., Incitations, Inc., Osprey Gold Corp. and to its present name. Gilla’s address is 15540 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami, Florida 33160.
The current business of the Company consists of the design, marketing and distribution of electronic cigarettes (“E-cigarettes”), vaporizers, e-liquids and accessories. An E-cigarette is an electronic inhaler meant to simulate and substitute for traditional cigarettes. E-cigarettes are often designed to mimic traditional smoking implements, such as cigarettes or cigars, in their use and/or appearance, but do not burn tobacco. E-cigarettes generally use a heating element that vaporizes a liquid solution. When used, some E-cigarettes release nicotine, while others merely release flavored vapor, which allows users to replicate the smoking experience, nicotine free. The Company has a two-pronged business model: white-label solutions, including branding, marketing and sales support; and e-commerce solutions like Charlie’s Club, a members-only online e-cigarette monthly subscription service featuring free hardware and no contracts.

As of the date of this Report, the Company has not repaid the outstanding principal or accrued interest due under the Secured Note No.2. On November 10, 2014, the Secured Note No.2 maturity date was extended until January 1, 2016.

The Credit Facility shall mature on August 1, 2015 whereby the outstanding advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. On August 1, 2014 and in connection to the Credit Facility, the Company issued 250,000 warrants to purchase Common Shares of the Company exercisable over two years with an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are both participants of the consortium of participants of the Credit Lender, each having committed to provide ten percent of the principal amount of the Credit Facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company was advanced $400,986 (CAD $449,083) from the Credit Facility for the purchase of inventory including $80,229 (CAD $89,852) of advances from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as their participation in the Credit Facility.
During the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid $1,107 in standby fees and $6,050 in interest as a result of the Credit Facility.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
These unaudited condensed consolidated 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 financial statements, at September 30, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,420,557, a working capital deficiency of $1,633,596 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,390,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and 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 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 June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10,
Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.
This ASU does the following among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275,
Risks and Uncertainties
, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this ASU and determined that it will early adopt beginning with the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has updated its policy on Advertising Costs and added a new policy for Goodwill. These condensed consolidated 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, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increases, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. The Company has identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of the current financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Several of those critical accounting policies are as follows:
Basis of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Gilla Operations, LLC; Charlie’s Club, Inc.; Gilla Enterprises Inc.; Gilla Operations Worldwide Limited; Drinan Marketing Ltd.; Gilla Franchises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gilla Biscayne, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Canadian dollars (CAD) which is also their functional currency. The Company’s Irish subsidiary maintains its books in Euros (EUR) which is also its functional currency. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries maintain their books and records in United States dollars (USD) which is both the Company’s functional currency and reporting currency. The accounts of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with provisions of ASC 830,
Foreign Currency Matters
. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year. In translating the financial statements of the Company's Canadian and Irish subsidiaries from their functional currencies into the Company's reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. The Company has not, to the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the year, computed under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10,
Earnings per Share
(“ASC 260-10”). Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common stock equivalent shares outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013 that have been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has become party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, funds held in trust, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, loan from shareholder and loans payable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value, due to their short term nature. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by FASB ASC No. 820,
Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
(“ASC 820”), with the related amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to value these assets and liabilities at fair value for each level, are as follows:
● Level 1
|
-
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
●
Level 2
|
-
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
|
●
Level 3
|
-
|
Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
|
Cash and cash equivalents and funds held in trust are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and classified as Level 1 hierarchy because measurements are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Fair value measurements of accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable are classified under Level 3 hierarchy because inputs are generally unobservable and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial instruments.
Advertising Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 720, the Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, $136,200, in production costs were incurred, $90,800 of which have been allocated to prepaid expenses and vendor deposits on the consolidated balance sheet, $45,400 in production costs were expensed during the period representing the release of the first phase of the Company’s online advertising campaign. The Company expenses all other advertising costs as incurred. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company expensed $252,359 (September 30, 2013: $57,330) as corporate promotions.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by the Company in business combinations. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
(“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.
Comprehensive Income or Loss
The Company reports comprehensive income or loss in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to items included in net income or loss, comprehensive income or loss includes items charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available for sale marketable securities
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year, include reserves and write downs of receivables and inventory, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill, impairment of property and equipment, valuing equity securities, valuation of convertible debenture conversion options and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain of our estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on the conditions and records adjustments when necessary.
Website Development Costs
Under the provisions of FASB-ASC Topic 350, the Company capitalizes costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage. Capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the website. The Company has not yet recorded amortization of the website development costs as the development has not yet been completed. Ongoing website post- implementation cost of operations, including training and application, will be expensed as incurred.
Convertible Debt Instruments
The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company amortizes the respective debt discount over the term of the notes, using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company records, when necessary, induced conversion expense, at the time of conversion for the difference between the reduced conversion price per share and the original conversion price per share.
This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
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”).
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 September 30, 2014 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 September 30, 2014, 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.
