Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
American Heritage International Inc. manufactures and distributes disposable electronic cigarettes. We offer our products through retail stores, distributors, independent retailers, and grocery and convenience store operators, as well as online in the United States. Our primary operations are based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We intend to take advantage of the rapid growth of the electronic cigarette industry and become one of the market leaders.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Long-Lived Assets
We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. We assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised primarily of the cost of certain intellectual property related to the electronic cigarette business including certain trademarks, product design and website. We evaluate our trademarks annually for impairment or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. If there is an indication of impairment of identified intangible assets not subject to amortization, we compare the estimated fair value with the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized to write-down the intangible asset to its fair value if it is less than the carrying amount. The fair value is calculated using the income approach. However, preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on our best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Based on our impairment analysis performed for the year ended December 31, 2013, the estimated fair values of trademarks and other intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying values. We amortize intangible assets on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. Revenue is derived from product sales and is recognized upon shipment to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Ownership and title of our products pass to customers upon delivery of the products to customers. Returns are accepted, but are not significant to our overall operations. Net sales have been determined after deduction of discounts, slotting fees and other promotional allowances in accordance with ASC 605-50.
Recent Pronouncements
We continually assess any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to us. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects our financial reporting, we undertake a study to determine the consequence of the change to our financial statements and assure that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that our financial statements properly reflect the change.
3. Going Concern
The accompanying 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. We have begun operations but have not generated significant revenue to date. These conditions give rise to doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate profits and positive cash flow. We will require a cash injection of $1,000,000 over the remainder of 2014 to achieve our business goals for fiscal 2014. We need these funds to purchase inventory and support accounts receivable and sustain planned operating losses.
4. Intangible Assets
On August 28, 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with American Heritage LLC and its principals. Under the Purchase Agreement, we acquired certain intellectual property related to the electronic cigarette business in exchange for 15,300 shares of our Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock. The intellectual property was valued at $25,000 in total. Intellectual property acquired was all design, branding, domains and website associated with the American Heritage™ brand of disposable electronic cigarettes.
5. Related Party Debt and Transactions
We were charged management fees by our former officer/director of $4,000 per month on a month-to-month basis. Total management fees are $nil and $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 our current officers/directors loaned us $61,964. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we received further loans of $3,810 and we repaid $64,500 of loans outstanding. As at March 31, 2014 we owe our officers/directors a total of $13,274. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.
Pursuant to two Executive Services Agreements effective October 1, 2013 with our current officers/directors we have accrued management fees of $5,000 per month for each of our two senior officers. As at March 31, 2014 we owe these senior officers a total of $60,000.
6. Common Stock
| a) | On January 31, 2014 we closed our $0.25 Unit non-brokered private placement and on March 20, 2014 we issued a total of 443,000 Units at $0.25 per Unit for total proceeds of $110,750. Each Unit contained one common share and one common share purchase warrant to acquire one additional common share at $0.40 per share expiring March 20, 2016. |
| b) | On February 1, 2014 we opened a non-brokered private placement offering of 2,000,000 Units at $1.00 per Unit.

Each Unit contained one common share and one common share purchase warrant to acquire one additional common share at $1.50 per share expiring March 20, 2016. This offering closed on March 31, 2014. |
| c) | On March 20, 2014 we issued 20,000 common shares having a fair value of $30,000 pursuant to an Advisory Board Agreement. This amount is included in prepaid expense. |
7. Subsequent Events

Net Loss | | | (209,924 | ) | | | (23,696 | ) | | | (521,719 | ) |
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $23,696 was entirely from our discontinued paper products business.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $209,924. This loss was due to the operating expenses associated with our new disposable electronic cigarette business and from the settlement of a legal claim.
We generated $38,561 in revenues (2013 - $nil); $6,683 from online sales and $31,878 from sales to retailers/distributors. Our cost of sales was $18,532 (2012 - $nil). Our overall gross profit was 52%.
As of March 31, 2014 our electronic cigarettes are being offered online in the United States, through Mr. Checkout, and at over 500 stores.
During 2014, we incurred $179,953 in operating expenses. Our operating expenses consisted of: $29,632 in advertising, promotions and marketing expenses including $10,000 paid to Mr. Checkout for a marketing promotion to all of their customers, $5,654 for point of sale materials, $1,500 for sponsorships and $6,414 of electronic cigarettes shipped out for samples and brand awareness; $60,000 in consulting fees including $30,000 paid to our two senior executive officers pursuant to Executive Service Agreements executed October 1, 2013; $10,331 paid in legal fees; $15,500 paid in audit fees; 10,443 paid in regulatory fees relating to stock transfer, stock position reports, corporate manual and news releases; $36,924 paid in investor and shareholder relations including investor kits, analyst report and a media consultant; $9,790 in travel, entertainment and automobile; and $5,061 in office expenses which includes supplies, rent and telephone. We also charged $2,542 in amortization of intangibles. We expect that our operating expenses will significantly increase as we are able to raise capital and further our business operations.
During 2014 we incurred a one-time expense of $50,000 associated with settling a legal claim.
Despite our expectation of increased revenues, we believe that we will operate at a net loss for 2014 as we increase our operating expenses in an attempt to further implement our business plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2014, we had working capital of $218,562 consisting of: cash - $140,387; accounts receivable - $30,465; inventory - $114,339 (including 4,033 ‘sticks’ on hand and 50,000 ‘sticks’ in transit); prepaid expense - $30,000 and current liabilities of - $106,629 (including related party loans of $13,274 owing to our two senior executive officers, $60,000 of related party accounts payable and $23,355 of accounts payable). During 2014, we increased our cash position by $124,641 to $140,387.
The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Cash Used in Operating Activities
During 2014 our operating activities used cash of $284,919 in operating activities (2013 - $10,959).

We used $30,465 due to an increase in accounts receivable; we used $81,119 acquiring inventory from our manufacturer and we financed operations through: supplier financing of $4,048 (2013 - $594) and related party management fees owing of $30,000 (2013 - $12,000).

During 2014 financing activities provided $409,560 (2013 - $12,200) in cash consisting of $3,810 of non-interest bearing demand loans from related parties and $470,250 received from non-brokered Unit private placements of our equity securities, offset by the repayment of related party debts of $64,500.
Need for Additional Capital
In addition to the cash on hand as at March 31, 2014 of $140,387 we will require a cash injection of an additional $1,000,000 during the remainder of fiscal 2014 to achieve our 2014 operating plan. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting.
As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
