Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

As initially reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2016, on October 5, 2016, Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “ECIG”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Hardwire Interactive Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Buyer”), Hardwire Interactive Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Hardwire”), and certain other covenanting parties thereto, pursuant to which Hardwire sold and assigned the Assets (as defined in the Agreement) to the Buyer in consideration of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Agreement), including an $800,000 cash payment and the assumption of certain liabilities, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (the “Asset Sale”). In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the Asset Sale, Hardwire entered into with the Buyer, a (i) Bill of Sale, (ii) General Assignment, (iii) Assignment of Contracts, and (iv) Assignment of Intellectual Property, each dated as of October 5, 2016.

 

The foregoing description of the Asset Sale does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2016.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

The information described above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of ECIG adjusted to reflect the disposition of its entire interest in Hardwire. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 gives effect to the disposition of Hardwire as if it had occurred on June 30, 2016. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 gives effect to ECIG’s disposition of Hardwire as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 gives effect to ECIG’s disposition of Hardwire as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations exclude the impact of nonrecurring expenses ECIG incurred as a result of the disposition of Hardwire, primarily legal expense.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with ECIG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position that ECIG would have reported had the Hardwire disposition been completed as of the dates set forth in the unaudited pro forma financial information and should not be taken as indicative of ECIG’s future results of operations or financial condition. The actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma financial information and actual results.

(c)The ECIG historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 was subsequently revised as follows:

 

Correction of Immaterial Errors – Identifiable Intangible Assets and Income Taxes

 

The Company identified errors while preparing the second quarter of 2016 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements related to identifiable intangible assets and income taxes dating back to March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Management evaluated the materiality of the errors from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Based on such evaluation, the Company concluded that, while the errors were significant to the year ended December 31, 2016, the corrections would not be material to any individual prior period, nor did they have an effect on the trend of financial results, taking into account the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). Accordingly, the Company corrected the errors in the December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet and, therefore, corrected the errors in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.
