NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business description
Vapor Corp. F/K/A Miller Diversified Corporation (the Company) is the holding company for
its wholly owned subsidiary, Smoke Anywhere U.S.A., Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company markets and distributes electronic cigarettes
under the Fifty-One®, Krave®, EZ Smoker®, and Green Puffer®
brands to customers located throughout the United States. The Companys corporate headquarters and
distribution center are located in the state of Florida.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to
make the consolidated financial statements not
misleading have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending
December 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has
been derived from the Companys restated audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 were previously restated and included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A
(Amendment No. 1) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the effects of accounting
and reporting errors to include stock-based compensation expense for employee and non-employee
stock options issued on October 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010, and to correct the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. These accounting and reporting errors and the related
adjustments resulted in an understatement of net loss of $595,331 and $297,665 for the six months
and three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and an understatement of additional paid
capital of $884,456 as of June 30, 2010 and an overstatement of retained earnings of $884,456 as of
June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the restated audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2010 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)
for the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating results for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full year ending December 31, 2011.
Preferred Stock
The Companys amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize the Companys board of
directors to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, having a $.001 par
value, in one or more series without stockholder approval. Each such series of preferred stock may
have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special
or relative rights or privileges as determined by the Companys board of directors. At December
31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances,
chargebacks and doubtful accounts and stock compensation. Estimates and assumptions are
periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated
financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could
differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (ASC Topic 718). These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock-based compensation is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting
period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation
model, whereby compensation cost is the estimated fair value of the award as determined by the
valuation model at the grant date or other measurement date. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the
period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8,540 and $17,080 and $297,665 and $595,331, respectively. The amounts
relate to the amortization expense associated with the Companys granting of options to its President and Chief
Executive Officer to purchase 900,000 shares of the Companys common stock in October 2009 valued
at $231,300 and from the granting of options to employees and consultants to purchase 3,600,000 and
708,000 shares of the Companys common stock in October 2009 and January 2010, valued at $925,200
and $136,644, respectively.

Table of Contents
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists principally of furniture and fixtures, which is being
depreciated over estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided
for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1,163 and $1,163 and
$0 and $0, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of merchandise purchased for resale, are valued at the lower of cost
(determined on the first-in, first-out basis) or market (replacement cost).
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Companys accounts at
these institutions may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four
revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return
allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped, title passes to customers and
collection is reasonably assured. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales
contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon the Companys delivery
to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical
experience. Revenue from product sales and services rendered is recorded net of sales and
consumption taxes.
The Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers to encourage purchases.
Such offers include current discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current
purchases, inducement offers, such as offers for future discounts subject to a minimum current
purchase, and other similar offers. Current discount offers, when accepted by the Companys
customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction, while
inducement offers, when accepted by its customers, are treated as a reduction to purchase price
based on estimated future redemption rates. Redemption rates are estimated using the Companys
historical experience for similar inducement offers. Current discount offers and inducement
offers are presented as a net amount in Sales, net.
Accounts Receivable
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the accounts receivable balance was $373,830 and
$304,391, respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,000 for both periods.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accounts receivable balances included concentration of
amounts due greater than ten percent of the amount outstanding to two customers totaling
approximately $173,000 at December 31, 2010 ($136,000 from customer A and $37,000 from customer
B.) Customer C had a balance owing greater than ten percent in the amount of approximately
$40,000. As to revenue no one customer accounted for sales in excess of 10% for the periods
presented.

Table of Contents
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising as incurred.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial
statement purposes after adjustments for transactions that do not have tax consequences.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized
according to the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the
condensed consolidated balance sheets. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets
and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A
deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more
likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. If a valuation allowance is
needed, a subsequent change in circumstances in future periods that causes a change in
judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal
of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax
position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected
to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and
which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for
interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain
tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained
on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company
recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision
for income taxes.
In order to determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated
annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates.
Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they
occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
Income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was
$389,437 and ($10,174), respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
2011 and June 30, 2010 was $389,437 and $88,826, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2011 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%
primarily due to state income taxes. The Company files
U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The
Company does not have any net operating loss carryforwards. The Companys consolidated federal
tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been
evaluated through the date of filing this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not
believed by management to have, a material impact on the Companys present or future
consolidated financial statements.

3 LITIGATION
From time to time the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of its business. There were no pending material claims or legal matters as of June
30, 2011 other than the following matters.
On February 23, 2010 Smoke Anywhere USA, Inc., the Companys wholly owned subsidiary (Smoke
Anywhere), filed an arbitration against TransFirst, a company providing credit card transaction
processing services, as required, in the event of a dispute under the services contract by and
between the parties. Smoke Anywhere is seeking to have certain fees and fines levied on it
reversed, in addition to demanding that certain monies held by TransFirst, be released to it.
On May 15, 2011, the Company became aware that Ruyan Investment (Holdings) Limited had named the
Company, along with three other sellers of electronic cigarettes in a lawsuit alleging patent
infringement under federal law. In that lawsuit, which was initially filed on January 12, 2011,
Ruyan was unsuccessful in bringing suit against the Company due to procedural rules of the court.
Subsequent thereto, on July 29, 2011, Ruyan Investment (Holdings) Limited filed a new lawsuit in
which it named the Company, along with seven other sellers of electronic cigarettes, alleging
patent infringement under federal law. The lawsuit is Ruyan Investment (Holdings) Limited vs. Vapor
Corp. et. al.2:11 CV-06268- GAF-FFM and is pending in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California. The Company has not yet been served. The Company is in the process
of evaluating the lawsuit pending it being filed against and served on the Company.
4 DUE FROM MERCHANT CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR
Due from merchant credit card processor represents monies held by the Companys former and current
credit card processors. The funds are being held by the merchant credit card processors pending
satisfaction of their hold requirements and expiration of charge backs/refunds from customers. See
Note 3 above for a description of the Companys pending arbitration claim against one of its
merchant credit card processors.
5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company utilizes the services of an entity that is owned 50% by its President and Chief
Executive Officer. The entity performs fulfillment services and leasing of warehouse space for the
Company at a cost that is approximately equal to what these services would cost from an unrelated
third party. Amounts paid to this entity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
were approximately $35,749 and $66,043 and $0 and $59,416, respectively.

Included in accounts payable are payables of approximately $88,000 and $123,000 due and owing for
consulting services to certain officers of the Company and directors of Smoke Anywhere USA, Inc.,
the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
6 COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
On March 7, 2011, the Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of common stock, pursuant to a
consultancy agreement dated February 17, 2011. The Company terminated the agreement on May 3, 2011
and 50,000 shares are subject to return to the Company. Said shares were returned to the Company
and cancelled on June 23, 2011, decreasing the Companys total outstanding shares by 50,000. The
Company valued these shares at $21,500 based on the market price and recognized expenses for the
amount of $0 and $21,500 included in stock-based compensation expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
On February 10, 2010, the Company effected a 2.5:1 reverse stock split on its then outstanding
shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the outstanding shares of the
Companys common stock were reduced to 10,000,000 from 50,000,000. In connection therewith,
fractional shares were rounded up to whole shares and as a result, an additional 344 shares of
common stock were issued to certain stockholders of the Company. No consideration was received by
the Company for the shares of its common stock issued as a result of rounding up the fractional
shares. All share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted
to give effect to this reverse stock split.
Stock-based Compensation
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized stock based
compensation expense of $8,540 and $17,080 and $297,665 and $595,331, respectively, which is
included in compensation expense. The amounts relate to the granting of options to its President
and Chief Executive Officer to purchase 900,000 shares of the Companys common stock with an
exercise price of $0.45 per share in October 2009 which vested in 12 equal monthly installments
valued at $231,300, from the granting of options to employees and consultants to purchase 3,600,000

Companys common stock with a grant price of $0.375 per share in January 2010 which vest in 4 equal
annual installments valued at $136,644. As of June 30, 2011, all of the options were vested except
for 531,000 of 708,000 options granted to employees and consultants. At June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, the amount of unamortized stock-based compensation expense on unvested stock options
granted to employees and consultants was $85,403 and $102,483, respectively.

stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of
potentially dilutive securities, which consist of stock options of 5,208,000 for 2011 and 5,208,000
for 2010. Dilutive earnings per share was not presented since the effect of the options under the
treasury stock method would have been antidilutive and the Company incurred losses in 2010.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on
the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available
to, our management. When used in this report, the words believe, anticipate, expect,
estimate, intend, plan and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the plans, objectives,
expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can
give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.
Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results
contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the Risk Factors section of and
elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2010 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include,
among others, the following: competition, consumer acceptance of our products, changes in customer
preferences, reliance on Chinese suppliers and manufacturers, government regulation, product
liability claims and the availability, terms and deployment of capital. The terms Vapor Corp.,
Vapor, we, us, our, and the Company refer to Vapor Corp. and the terms Smoke Anywhere
USA, and Smoke refer to our wholly owned subsidiary Smoke Anywhere USA, Inc.
Executive Overview
The Company designs, markets, and distributes electronic cigarettes, under the Fifty-One®, Krave®,
EZ Smoker®, Smoke Star® and Green Puffer® brands. Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes, are
battery-powered products that enable users to inhale nicotine vapor without fire, smoke, tar, ash,
or carbon monoxide.
The Company participates directly in the highly competitive and fragmented e-cigarette market, but
also faces competition from tobacco companies. Electronic cigarettes are relatively new products
and the Company is continually working to introduce its product and brands to customers. The
Company believes increased investment in marketing and advertising programs is critical to
increasing product and brand awareness and that sales of its innovative and differentiated products
are enhanced by knowledgeable salespersons who can convey the value and benefits electronic
cigarettes have to offer over traditional tobacco burning cigarettes.
The Companys business strategy leverages its unique ability to design, market and develop multiple
e-cigarette brands and to bring those brands to market through its multiple distribution channels.
The Company sells its products through its online stores, its direct response television marketing
efforts, to retail channels through its direct sales force, and through third-party wholesalers,
retailers, and value-added resellers.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon
our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant
estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial
statements and the accompanying notes. These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by
management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could
occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
The estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates. See Note 1
Summary of significant accounting policies -Use of estimates in the notes to condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (ASC Topic 718). These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock-based compensation is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting
period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation
model, whereby compensation cost is the estimated fair value of the award as determined by the
valuation model at the grant date or other measurement date. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the
period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized stock based
compensation expense of $8,540 and $17,080 and $297,665 and $595,331, respectively. The amounts
relate to the amortization expenses associated with the granting of stock options to its President and
Chief Executive Officer to purchase 900,000 shares of the Companys common stock in October 2009
valued at $231,300 and from the granting of options to employees and consultants to purchase
3,600,000 and 708,000 shares of the Companys common stock in October 2009 and January 2010, valued
at $925,200 and $136,644, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of merchandise purchased for resale, are valued at the lower of cost
(determined on the first-in, first-out basis) or market (replacement cost).
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four
revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances,
are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers
are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss
upon the Companys delivery to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are
estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales and services rendered is recorded
net of sales and consumption taxes.
The Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers to encourage purchases. Such
offers include current discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases,
inducement offers, such as offers for future discounts subject to a minimum current purchase, and
other similar offers. Current discount offers, when accepted by the Companys customers, are
treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction, while inducement offers,
when accepted by its customers, are treated as a reduction to purchase price based on estimated
future redemption rates. Redemption rates are estimated using the Companys historical experience
for similar inducement offers. Current discount offers and inducement offers are presented as a net
amount in Sales, net.
Accounts Receivable
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the accounts receivable balance was $373,830 and $304,391,
respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,000 for both periods. At June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, accounts receivable balances included concentration of amounts due
greater than ten percent of the amount outstanding to two customers totaling approximately $173,000
at December 31, 2010 ($136,000 from customer A and $37,000 from
customer B.) Customer C had a balance owing greater than ten percent in the amount of approximately
$40,000. As to revenue, no one customer accounted for sales in excess of 10% for the periods
presented.

Advertising
The Company expenses advertising as incurred.
Income Taxes
In order to determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual
effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates. Certain
significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and
can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. Income tax
expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $389,437 and
($10,174), respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30,
2010 was $389,437 and $88,826, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state
income taxes. We file U.S. and state income tax returns in
jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. We do not have any net operating loss
carryforwards. Our consolidated federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently
under examination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that
impacted the quarterly or six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, or which are expected to
impact future periods, which were not previously disclosed in prior periods
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended June
30, 2010
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had $9,303,984 in revenues. This was an increase of
$4,564,150 or approximately 96% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Factors that contributed
positively to this increase related to greater consumer demand through direct sales efforts for our
electronic cigarette products, an increase in repeat orders from our distributors and wholesale
customers, residual orders for replacement cartridges from our existing customer base and greater
consumer awareness of our products directly related to our advertising and sales efforts. We
increased advertising for the period as discussed below.
Until the December 2010 U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decision in Sottera, Inc. v.
Food & Drug Administration, 627 F.3d 891 (D.C. Cir. 2010) adverse to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and denial of the FDAs en banc review on January 24, 2011, we believe the
FDAs previous public statements related to electronic cigarettes had a chilling effect on demand
for electronic cigarette products. Under this Court decision, the FDA is permitted to regulate
electronic cigarettes as tobacco products under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control
Act of 2009 (the Tobacco Control Act). Under this Court decision, the FDA is not permitted to
regulate electronic cigarettes as drugs or devices or a combination product under the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act unless they are marketed for therapeutic purposes. The Tobacco Control
Act grants the FDA broad authority over the manufacture, sale, marketing and packaging of tobacco
products, although the FDA is prohibited from issuing regulations banning all cigarettes or all
smokeless tobacco products, or requiring the reduction of nicotine yields of a tobacco product to
zero. If electronic cigarettes are classified by the FDA as tobacco products, the outcome of the
application of the Tobacco Control Act, including FDA requirements issued thereunder, on electronic
cigarettes generally and our electronic cigarettes specifically cannot be predicted at this time.
Since this Court decision, however, we have experienced an increase in retail demand for our
electronic cigarette products through our direct to consumer sales efforts. Direct to consumer
sales are more profitable for us and carry much larger gross margins than products sold through
re-sellers. We also have experienced interest for electronic cigarettes among big box retailers,
who have contacted us and requested proposals and plan-o-grams. We expect direct to consumer sales
demand will continue to grow, however we believe that sales through re-sellers will be an
increasingly large part of our sales channel mix.

Our cost of goods sold were $3,417,585 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, an increase of
$913,567, or 36%. The increase related to increased sales as discussed above, offset by a change in
the product mix to higher direct to consumer sales during the period which have higher gross
margins than the sales to distributors and wholesale customers. In addition, the increase in
purchases has also resulted in lower average cost per unit since the Company can provide more
consistent sales to its suppliers and has consolidated its product acquisitions with fewer
suppliers.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,017,459 for the six months ended June 30,
2011, an increase of $117,288 or 6%. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses is stock-based compensation expense.
Our stock-based compensation expense decreased by $556,750 to $38,581 for the six months ended June
30, 2011, as compared to $595,331 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The amounts relate
primarily to the reduction in amortization expense associated with the granting of options to our President and Chief Executive
Officer to purchase 900,000 shares of our common stock in October 2009 valued at $231,300 and from
the granting of options to employees and consultants to purchase 3,600,000 and 708,000 shares of
our common stock in October 2009 and January 2010, valued at $925,200 and $136,644, respectively.
In general, operating expenses increased as a direct correlation to increased sales, specifically related to increased salaries and credit card
processing fees.
Advertising expense was approximately $2,850,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
approximately $992,316 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1,858,312, or 187%. We
initiated various advertising campaigns direct to consumers during the first and second quarter of
2011, which increased sales.
Net income was $628,875 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $646,497
for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 2010
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 revenues were $4,439,692. This was an increase of
$1,575,500 or approximately 55% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Factors that contributed
positively to these increases related to greater consumer demand through direct sales efforts for
our electronic cigarette products, an increase in repeat orders from our distributors and wholesale
customers, residual orders for replacement cartridges from our existing customer base and greater
consumer awareness of our products directly related to our advertising and sales efforts. The
Company increase advertising for the period as discussed below.

Our cost of goods sold decreased by $384,336 to $1,119,044 for the three months ended June 30,
2011. This was a
decrease of 26%, as compared to cost of sales of $1,503,380 for the three months ended June 30,
2010. The decrease related to increased sales as discussed above, offset by a change in the
product mix to higher direct to consumer sales during the period which have higher gross margins
than the sales to distributors and wholesale customers. In addition, the increase in purchases has
also resulted in lower average cost per unit since the Company can provide more consistent sales to
its suppliers and has consolidated its product acquisitions with fewer suppliers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were
$1,158,735 compared to selling general and administrative expenses of $1,053,025 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $105,710 or 10%. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is stock-based
compensation expense. Our stock-based compensation expense decreased by $289,126 to $8,540 for the three months ended
June 30, 2011, as compared to $297,665 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The amounts relate
to the reduction in amortization expense associated with the granting of options to our President and Chief

approximately $418,511 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $495,448 or 118%. We
initiated various advertising campaigns direct to consumer during the first and second quarter of
2011, which increased sales.
Net income was $858,517 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $199,550
for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are not aware of any factors that are reasonably likely to adversely affect liquidity trends,
other than those factors summarized under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form
10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. We are not involved in any
hedging activities and had no forward exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011. In the
ordinary course of business we enter into purchase commitments by issuing purchase orders, which
may or may not requires vendor deposits. These transactions are recognized in our consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
We believe that our cash on hand and anticipated cash flow from operations will provide sufficient
liquidity and capital resources for our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise capital in the form
of equity or debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital, if
needed, on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Working Capital At June 30, 2011, we had working capital of $1,257,296 compared to $624,539 at
December 31, 2010, an increase of $632,757.
Our cash provided by operating activities was $8,089 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which
compared unfavorably to cash provided by operating activities of $227,011 during the six months
ended June 30, 2010. The Company funded operations through internal growth and increase sales.
The changes in cash provided by operating activities for the respective reporting periods included
increases in due from merchant credit card processors, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
inventories, net of increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and income taxes payable.
These increases resulted from funding our growth by internal sources.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we do not have any material financial guarantees or other
contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed by us in reports we file under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within a company have been detected.
Our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in providing
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives because of the two material weaknesses in
internal control over financial reporting disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment
No. 1) for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, we have identified an additional
material weakness related to the Company not valuing deferred tax assets properly as of March 31,
2011, as disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (Amendment No. 1) for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2011.
In light of the three material weaknesses, we performed additional post-closing procedures and
analyses, which are not part of our internal control over financial reporting, in order to prepare
the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. As a result of these
procedures and analyses, we believe our condensed consolidated financial statements included in
this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for the year ended December 31,
2010, management and our independent registered public accounting firm have identified two material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we have identified an
additional material weakness related to the Company not valuing deferred tax assets properly as of
March 31, 2011, as disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (Amendment No. 1) for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2011.
18
Table of Contents
Remediation of Material Weakness
We have commenced efforts to address the three material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June
30, 2011. Our remediation plan includes the following actions:
We are actively seeking to hire additional, qualified finance and accounting staff with significant
depth and expertise to supplement existing personnel, including a Chief Financial Officer. During
the third quarter of 2011, we retained an independent financial consultant to advise us on the
organization and composition of the finance and accounting department. We will establish a formal
review process of significant accounting transactions that includes participation of the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Companys corporate legal counsel.
Although the remediation efforts are underway, the above material weakness will not be considered
remediated until new controls over financial reporting are fully designed and operating effectively
for an adequate period of time.
There is no assurance that our remediation efforts will be successful on a timely basis or at all.
If these material weaknesses persist, it may be necessary to make further restatements of our
consolidated financial statements and investors will not be able to rely on the completeness and
accuracy of the financial information contained in our filings with the SEC and this could
potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities or
stockholder litigation.
