PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
Overview
Internet Media Services, Inc. was incorporated in March 2007 as a Delaware corporation and herein we refer to the company as “we”, “us”, the “Company” or “IMS.” We conduct our operations in Santa Monica, California and through March 13, 2013 used an independent warehouse and product fulfillment center in Western New York state. Our corporate office is located at 1507 7th Street, #425, Santa Monica, CA 90401 and our telephone number is (800) 467-1496. Our corporate website address is www.internetmediaservices.com. Information contained on our websites is not a part of this annual report.
Forward Looking Information
This report contains statements about future events and expectations that are characterized as “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance, and financial condition we express or imply in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Business Developments
On January 7, 2014, we entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between ourselves, U-Vend Canada, Inc. and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. U-Vend Canada, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiary, U-Vend USA LLC (collectively, “U-Vend”), is in the business of developing, marketing and distributing co-branded self-serve electronic kiosks, mall/airport co-branding islands, and digital advertising solutions throughout North America. As of December 31, 2013 U-Vend owned and operated 33 kiosks in the greater Chicago, IL area and markets products supplied by its co-branding partners. The Company expects to place an additional 15 kiosks into service in the greater Chicago, IL early in the second quarter of 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, we have acquired all of the outstanding shares of U-Vend in exchange for 466,666,667 shares of our common stock. Certain shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 603,046,666 shares of our common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions more fully described in the Agreement. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders and by the Company’s Board of Directors (see Subsequent Events Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements).
On October 8, 2009, we completed an acquisition in the legal vertical market through the purchase of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of LegalStore.com. LegalStore.com is an Internet based company that primarily sells legal supplies and legal forms. Despite sustained efforts from 2009 through 2012 to bring to market our customer relationship solutions product offerings, we were unable to secure the needed funding. As a result, in early 2013 we elected to change the strategic direction of the Company. On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement with Western Principal Partners LLC (“WPP”), a California Limited Liability Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, WPP purchased from the Company all the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LegalStore.com, a Delaware Corporation. LegalStore.com was operating the Company’s e-commerce business. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders. In consideration of the sale, WPP agreed to pay to the Company total consideration of $210,000 including assumption of operating liabilities. Operating liabilities included, but are not limited to existing operating agreements, trade payables and certain tax obligations. The fair value of consideration received for the stock of LegalStore.com was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded as of December 31, 2012 in the amount of approximately $35,000, net of income tax effect (see Discontinued Operations Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements).
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, we had one full-time employee, one part-time employee, and two contracted positions. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.
Websites
We maintain one active website, www.internetmediaservices.com which serves as our corporate website and contains information about our company and business. The Company owns over 12 domain names for future use or for strategic competitive reasons.

Available Information
Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is required to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information about the public reference room. The SEC maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The Company files electronically with the SEC. The SEC makes available, free of charge, through the SEC Internet web site, the Company’s filings on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with the SEC.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities is subject to numerous risks, including the Risk Factors described below. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected by any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also materially affect our business. In such case, we may not be able to proceed with our planned operations and your investment may be lost entirely. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, including our financial statements. An investment in our securities should only be acquired by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment without adversely affecting their standard of living or financial security.
We have a limited operating history and may not be able to achieve financial or operational success.
We were founded in March 2007, initiated our first operating business in October 2009, exited from our first operating business in March 2013, and acquired our most recent operating business in January 2014. We have a limited operating history with respect to this or any newly acquired business. As a result, we may not be able to achieve sustained financial or operational success, given the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with an early-stage business in an evolving market.
Our growth strategy includes acquisitions that entail significant execution, integration and operational risks.
We are pursuing a growth strategy based in part on acquisitions, with the objective of creating a combined company that we believe can achieve increased cost savings and operating efficiencies through economies of scale especially in the integration of administrative services. We will seek to make additional acquisitions in the future to increase our revenue.
This growth strategy involves significant risks. There is significant competition for acquisition targets in our markets. Consequently, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisitions or may have difficulty finding attractive businesses for acquisition at reasonable prices. If we are unable to identify future acquisition opportunities, reach agreement with such third parties or obtain the financing necessary to make such acquisitions, we could lose market share to competitors who are able to make such acquisitions. This loss of market share could negatively impact our business, revenues and future growth.
We may be unable to achieve benefits from any acquisitions.
Even if we are able to complete acquisitions, we may be unable to achieve the anticipated benefits of a particular acquisition, the anticipated benefits may take longer to realize than expected, or we may incur greater costs than expected in attempting to achieve anticipated benefits.
Any acquisition we make exposes us to risks.
Any acquisition we make carries risks which could result in an adverse effect on our financial condition. These risks include:
□
|
diversion of our attention from normal daily operations of our vending business to acquiring and assimilating new businesses;
|
|
□
|
the use of substantial portions of any cash we have available;
|
|
□
|
failure to understand the needs and behaviors of users for a newly acquired business or other product;
|
|
□
|
redundancy or overlap between existing products and services, on the one hand, and acquired products and services, on the other hand;
|
|
□
|
difficulty assimilating operations, technologies, products and policies of acquired businesses; and
|
|
□
|
assuming liabilities, including unknown and contingent liabilities, of acquired businesses.

If we are unable to develop and market new product offerings or fail to predict or respond to emerging trends, our revenue and any profitability will suffer.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to modify or enhance our product offerings marketed through our vending kiosks to meet user’s demands. If we are unable to predict preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our product offerings in a timely manner, we may lose revenue. New products may be dependent upon our ability to enter into new relationship with suppliers, which we may not be able to obtain in a timely manner, upon terms acceptable to us, or at all. We spend significant resources developing and enhancing our product offerings. However, new or enhanced product offerings may not be accepted by users. If we are unable to successfully source and market new product offerings in a timely and cost-effective manner, our revenue and any profitability will suffer.
If we fail to develop and diversify product offerings, we could lose market share.
The market for selling products through vending kiosks has a low barrier to entry which creates a high level of competition. To remain competitive, we must continue to find, market, and sell new products through our vending kiosks. The time, expense and effort associated with such development may be greater than anticipated, and any products actually introduced by us may not achieve consumer acceptance. Furthermore, our efforts to meet changing customer needs may require the development or licensing of products at great expense. If we are unable to develop and bring to market additional products, we could lose market share to competitors, which could negatively impact our business, revenues and future growth.
The increased security risks of online advertising and e-commerce may cause us to incur significant expenses and may negatively impact our credibility and business.
A significant prerequisite of online commerce, advertising, and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet, consumer identity theft and user privacy have been significant barriers to growth in consumer use of the Internet, online advertising, and e-commerce. A significant portion of our sales is billed directly to our customers’ credit card accounts. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect secure transmission of confidential information. Encryption technology scrambles information being transmitted through a channel of communication to help ensure that the channel is secure even when the underlying system and network infrastructure may not be secure. Authentication technologies, the simplest example of which is a password, help to ensure that an individual user is who he or she claims to be by “authenticating” or validating the individual’s identity and controlling that individual’s access to resources. Despite our implementation of security measures, however, our computer systems may be potentially susceptible to electronic or physical computer break-ins, viruses and other disruptive harms and security breaches. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may specifically compromise our security measures. Any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding website visitors, whether through breach of our network by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our reputation and brands, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain our audiences, or subject us to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by consumers, and thereby harm our business and operating results. If consumers experience identity theft after using any of our websites, we may be exposed to liability, adverse publicity and damage to our reputation. To the extent that identity theft gives rise to reluctance to use our websites or a decline in consumer confidence in financial transactions over the Internet, our businesses could be adversely affected. Alleged or actual breaches of the network of one of our business partners or competitors whom consumers associate with us could also harm our reputation and brands. In addition, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of state, federal and foreign laws regarding the unauthorized disclosure of personal information. For example, California law requires companies that maintain data on California residents to inform individuals of any security breaches that result in their personal information being stolen. Because our success depends on the acceptance of online services and e-commerce, we may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Internet fraud has been increasing over the past few years, and fraudulent online transactions, should they continue to increase in prevalence, could also adversely affect the customer experience and therefore our business, operating results and financial condition.
We depend on key management, product management, technical and marketing personnel for continued success.
Our success and future growth depend, to a significant degree, on the skills and continued services of our management team, including Paul Neelin, our Chief Operations Officer and Raymond Meyers, our Chief Executive Officer. Our ongoing success also depends on our ability to identify, hire and retain skilled and qualified technical and marketing personnel in a highly competitive employment market. As we develop and acquire new products and services, we will need to hire additional employees. Our inability to attract and retain well-qualified managerial, technical and sales and marketing personnel may have a negative effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
5
We may be required to seek additional funding, and such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
We may need to obtain additional funding due to a number of factors beyond our expectations or control, including a shortfall in revenue, increased expenses, increased need for working capital due to growth, increased investment in capital equipment or the acquisition of businesses, services or technologies. If we do need to obtain funding, it may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business would be harmed. Even if we were able to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities in a transaction that could be highly dilutive to our investors or we may be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities we have outstanding today. We may also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to generate or raise capital that is sufficient to fund our operations, we may be required to curtail operations, reduce our services, defer or cancel expansion or acquisition plans or cease operations in certain jurisdictions or completely.
The termination, non-renewal or renegotiation on materially adverse terms of our contracts or relationships with one or more of our significant host locations, product suppliers and partners could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The success of our business depends in large part on our ability to maintain contractual relationships with our host locations in profitable locations. Our typical host location agreement ranges from one to three years and automatically renews until we or the retailer gives notice of termination. Certain contract provisions with our host locations vary, including product and service offerings, the commission fees we are committed to pay each host location, and the ability to cancel the contract upon notice after a certain period of time. We strive to provide direct and indirect benefits to our host locations that are superior to, or competitive with, other providers or systems or alternative uses of the floor space that our kiosks occupy. If we are unable to provide our retailers with adequate benefits, we may be unable to maintain or renew our contractual relationships on acceptable terms, causing our business, financial condition and results of operations to suffer.
If we cannot execute on our strategy and offer new automated retail products and services.
Our strategy is based upon leveraging our core competencies in the automated retail space to provide the consumer with convenience and value and to help retailers drive incremental traffic and revenue. To be competitive, we need to develop, or otherwise provide, new product and service offerings that are accepted by the market and establish third-party relationships necessary to develop and commercialize such product and service offerings. We are exploring new businesses to enter, and new products and services to offer, however, the complexities and structures of these new businesses could create conflicting priorities, constrain limited resources, and negatively impact our core businesses. We may use our financial resources and managements’ time and focus to invest in other companies offering automated retail services, or we may seek to grow businesses organically, or we may seek to offer new products on our current kiosks. We may enter into joint ventures through which we may expand our product offerings. Any new business opportunity also may have its own unique risks related to operations, finances, intellectual property, technology, legal and regulatory issues, corporate governance or other challenges, for which we may have limited or no prior experience. In addition, if we fail to timely establish or maintain relationships with significant retailers and suppliers, we may not be able to provide our consumers with desirable new products and services. Further, in order to develop and commercialize certain new products and services, we will need to create new kiosks or enhance the capabilities of our current kiosks, as well as adapt our related networks and systems through appropriate technological solutions, and establish market acceptance of such products or services. We cannot assure you that new products or services that we provide will be successful or profitable.
Failure to adequately comply with information security policies or to safeguard against breaches of such policies could adversely affect our operations and could damage our business, reputation, financial position and results of operations.
As our business expands to provide new products and services, we are increasing the amount of consumer data that we collect, transfer and retain as part of our business. These activities are subject to laws and regulations, as well as industry standards, in the United States and other jurisdictions in which our products and services are available. These requirements, which often differ materially and sometimes conflict among the many jurisdictions in which we operate, are designed to protect the privacy of consumers’ personal information and to prevent that information from being inappropriately used or disclosed. We maintain and review technical and operational safeguards designed to protect this information and generally require third party vendors and others with whom we work to do so as well. However, despite those safeguards, it is possible that hackers, employees acting contrary to our policies, third-party agents or others could improperly access relevant systems or improperly obtain or disclose data about our consumers, or that we may be determined not to be in compliance with applicable legal requirements and industry standards for data security, such as the Payment Card Industry guidelines. A breach or purported breach of relevant security policies that compromises consumer data or determination of non-compliance with applicable legal requirements or industry standards for data security could expose us to regulatory enforcement actions, card association or other monetary fines or sanctions, or contractual liabilities, limit our ability to provide our products and services, subject us to legal action and related costs and damage our business reputation, financial position, and results of operations.
6
Litigation, arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions, investigations or other legal proceedings could result in material rulings, decisions, settlements, fines, penalties or publicity that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our industry has in the past been, and may in the future continue to be, party to class actions, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitration, mediation and other legal proceedings. The outcome of such proceedings is often difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs, regulatory bodies or other parties may seek very large or indeterminate amounts of money from us or substantial restrictions on our business activities, and the results, including the magnitude, of lawsuits, actions, settlements, decisions and investigations may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The cost to defend, settle or otherwise finalize lawsuits, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitrations, mediations or other legal proceedings may be significant and such proceedings may divert management’s time. In addition, there may be adverse publicity associated with any such developments that could decrease consumer acceptance of our products and services. As a result, litigation, arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions or investigations involving us may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
We are subject to substantial federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation specific to our business.
Our business is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation, including those relating to copyright law, access to kiosks in public places, consumer privacy and protection, data protection and information security, taxes, vehicle safety, weights and measures, payment cards and other payment instruments, food and beverages, sweepstakes, and contests. The application of existing laws and regulations, changes in laws or enactment of new laws and regulations, that apply, or may in the future apply, to our current or future products or services, changes in governmental authorities’ interpretation of the application of various government regulations to our business, or the failure or inability to gain and retain required permits and approvals could materially and adversely affect our business.
In addition, many jurisdictions require us to obtain certain licenses in connection with the operations of our businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be granted all necessary licenses or permits in the future, that current licenses or permits will be renewed or that regulators will not revoke current licenses or permits. Given the unique nature of our business and new products and services we may develop or acquire in the future, the application of various laws and regulations to our business is uncertain. Further, as governmental and regulatory scrutiny and action with regard to many aspects of our business increase, we expect that our costs of complying with the applicable legal requirements may increase, perhaps substantially.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or permits, loss of approved status, termination of contracts, administrative enforcement actions and fines, class action lawsuits, cease and desist orders and civil and criminal liability. The occurrence of one or more of these events, as well as the increased cost of compliance, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As we begin to scale our business we may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may, among other things, over-install kiosks in certain geographic areas leading to non-accretive installations, and we cannot be certain that historical revenue ramps for new kiosks will be sustainable in the future.
This growth may place significant demands on our operational, financial and administrative infrastructure and our management. As our operations grow in size, scope and complexity, we anticipate the need to integrate, as appropriate, and improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure, both those relating to providing attractive and efficient consumer products and services and those relating to our administration and internal systems, processes and controls. This integration and expansion of our administration, processes, systems and infrastructure may require us to commit and will continue to cause us to commit, substantial financial, operational and technical resources to managing our business.
Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management and operational resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization, including otherwise effectively growing our business lines, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.
We may not have the ability to pay interest on our Notes, to repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change or to settle conversions of the Notes, as may be required.
If a fundamental change occurs under the indenture governing our Notes, holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or a portion of their Notes. In addition, upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we will be required to make cash payments. Depending on the amount and timing of the payment requirements, we may not have been able to meet all of the obligations relating to Note conversions, which could have had a material adverse effect.
7
Further, if we fail to pay interest on, carry out the fundamental change repurchase obligations relating to, or make payments (including cash) upon conversion of, the Notes, we will be in default under the indenture governing the Notes. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness. If the repayment of indebtedness were to be accelerated, including after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not, among other things, have sufficient funds to repay indebtedness or pay interest on, carry out our repurchase obligations relating to, or make cash payments upon conversion of, the Notes.
Conversion of our convertible notes into common stock could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
Upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock to a converting holder. If additional shares of our common stock are issued due to conversion of some or all of the outstanding Notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders would be diluted. Further, any sales in the public market of any shares of common stock issued upon conversion or hedging or arbitrage trading activity that develops due to the potential conversion of the Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
Competitive pressures could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The nature and extent of consolidations and bankruptcies, which often occur during or as a result of economic downturns, in markets where we install our kiosks, particularly the supermarket and other retailing industries, could adversely affect our operations, including our competitive position, as the number of installations and potential retail users of our kiosks could be significantly reduced. See the risk factor below entitled, “Events outside of our control, including the current economic environment, has negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, consumers’ use of our products and services.”
Our business can be adversely affected by severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as earthquakes, fires, power failures, telecommunication loss and terrorist attacks.
A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results. While we have taken steps to protect the security of critical business processes and systems and have established certain back-up systems and disaster recovery procedures, any disruptions, whether due to inadequate back-up or disaster recovery planning, failures of information technology systems, interruptions in the communications network, or other factors, could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our operational and financial performance is a direct reflection of consumer use of and the ability to operate and service our kiosks used in our business. Severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control can, for extended periods of time, significantly reduce consumer use of our products and services as well as interrupt the ability of our employees and third-party providers to operate and service our kiosks.
Our failure to meet consumer expectations with respect to pricing our products and services may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Demand for our products and services may be sensitive to pricing changes. We evaluate and update our pricing strategies from time to time, and changes we institute may have a significant impact on, among other things, our revenue and net income.
We may be unable to attract new host locations, broaden current host relationships, and penetrate new markets and distribution channels.
In order to increase our kiosk installations, we need to attract new host locations, broaden relationships with current host locations, and develop operational efficiencies that make it feasible for us to penetrate low density markets and new distribution channels. We may be unable to attract host locations or drive down costs relating to the manufacture, installation or servicing of our kiosks to levels that would enable us to operate profitably in lower density markets or penetrate new distribution channels. If we are unable to do so, our future financial performance could be adversely affected.
Payment of increased fees to host locations or other third party service providers could negatively affect our business results.
We face ongoing pricing pressure from our host locations to increase the commission fees we pay to them on our products and services or to make other financial concessions to win or retain their business. If we are unable to respond effectively to ongoing pricing-related pressures, we may fail to win or retain certain accounts. Our fee arrangements are based on our evaluation of unique factors with each retailer, such as total revenue, long-term, non-cancelable contracts, installation of our kiosks in high-traffic, geographic locations and new product and service commitments. Together with other factors, an increase in service fees paid, or other financial concessions made, to our retailers could significantly increase our direct operating expenses in future periods and harm our business.

Events outside of our control, including the current economic environment, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, consumers’ use of our products and services.
Our consumers’ use of many of our products and services is dependent on discretionary spending, which is affected by, among other things, economic and political conditions, consumer confidence, interest and tax rates, and financial and housing markets. With economic uncertainty still affecting potential consumers, we may be impacted by more conservative purchasing tendencies with fewer non-essential products and services purchases during the coming periods if the current economic environment continues. In addition, because our business relies in part on consumers initially visiting host locations to purchase products and services that are not necessarily our products and services, if consumers are visiting retailers less frequently and being more careful with their money when they do, these tendencies may also negatively impact our business. Further, our ability to obtain additional funding in the future, if and as needed, through equity issuances or loans, or otherwise meet our current obligations to third parties, could be adversely affected if the economic environment continues to be difficult. In addition, the ability of third parties to honor their obligations to us could be negatively impacted, as retailers, suppliers and other parties deal with the difficult economic environment. Finally, there may be consequences that will ultimately result from the current economic conditions that are not yet known, and any one or more of these unknown consequences (as well as those currently being experienced) could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and liquidity, as well as our business generally.
Our future operating results may fluctuate.
Our future operating results will depend significantly on our ability to continue to drive new and repeat use of our kiosks, our ability to develop and commercialize new products and services, and our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and other third-party relationships into our operations. Our operating results could fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate based upon many factors, including:
•
|
fluctuations in revenue generated by kiosk businesses;
|
•
|
fluctuations in operating expenses, such as transaction fees and commissions we pay to our host locations;
|
•
|
our ability to establish or maintain effective relationships with significant partners, host locations and suppliers on acceptable terms;
|
•
|
the amount of service fees that we pay to our host locations;
|
•
|
the transaction fees we charge consumers to use our services;
|
•
|
the commercial success of our host locations, which could be affected by such factors as general economic conditions, severe weather or strikes;
|
•
|
the successful use and integration of assets and businesses acquired or invested in;
|
•
|
the level of product and price competition;
|
•
|
the timing and cost of, and our ability to develop and successfully commercialize, new or enhanced products and services;
|
•
|
activities of, and acquisitions or announcements by, competitors; and;
|
•
|
the impact from any impairment of inventory, goodwill, fixed assets or intangibles related to our acquisitions and divestitures.
|
We depend upon third-party manufacturers, suppliers and service providers for our kiosks.
We depend on outside parties to manufacture our kiosks. We intend to continue to expand our installed base of kiosks. Such expansion may be limited by the manufacturing capacity of our third-party manufacturers and suppliers. Third-party manufacturers may not be able to meet our manufacturing needs in a satisfactory and timely manner. If there is an unanticipated increase in demand for our kiosks or our manufacturing needs are not met in a timely and satisfactory manner, we may be unable to meet demand due to manufacturing limitations which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
9
In addition, we rely on third-party service providers for substantial support and service efforts that we currently do not provide directly. Any failure by us to maintain our existing support and service relationships or to establish new relationships on a timely basis or on acceptable terms could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to our Securities
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded, its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
|
·
|
the trading volume of our shares;
|
|
·
|
the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock;
|
|
·
|
changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts;
|
|
·
|
new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
|
|
·
|
conditions or trends in our business industries;
|
|
·
|
announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
|
|
·
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
sales of our common stock; and
|
|
·
|
general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies.
|
The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, securities class action litigation has often been initiated following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
Our common stock may be considered “penny stock”, further reducing its liquidity.
Our common stock may be considered “penny stock”, which will further reduce the liquidity of our common stock. Our common stock is likely to fall under the definition of “penny stock,” trading in the common stock is limited because broker-dealers are required to provide their customers with disclosure documents prior to allowing them to participate in transactions involving the common stock. These disclosure requirements are burdensome to broker-dealers and may discourage them from allowing their customers to participate in transactions involving our common stock, thereby further reducing the liquidity of our common stock.
"Penny stocks” are equity securities with a market price below $5.00 per share other than a security that is registered on a national exchange, included for quotation on the NASDAQ system or whose issuer has net tangible assets of more than $2,000,000 and has been in continuous operation for greater than three years. Issuers who have been in operation for less than three years must have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000.
Rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act require broker-dealers engaging in transactions in penny stocks, to first provide to their customers a series of disclosures and documents including:
□
|
A standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investment in penny stocks;
|
|
□
|
All compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction;
|
|
□
|
Current quotation prices and other relevant market data; and a Monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.
|
These rules also require that a broker-dealer obtain financial and other information from a customer, determine that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for such customer and deliver a written statement to such customer setting forth the basis for this determination.
10
Our directors and executive officers will continue to exert significant control over our future direction, which could reduce the sale value of our Company.
As of April 7, 2014 our Board of Directors and our executive officers own approximately 32 percent of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders, if they act together, will have considerable influence over matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership, which could result in a continued concentration of representation on our Board of Directors, may delay, prevent or deter a change in control and could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our assets.
Investors should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on our common stock, thereby depriving investors of yield on their investment.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock and intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support our operations and to finance expansion. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. Such failure to pay a dividend will deprive investors of any yield on their investment in our common stock.
Our indemnification of officers and directors and limitations on their liability could limit our recourse against them.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary duties. Shareholders therefore will have only limited recourse against these individuals.
If we fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Company to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in each Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have identified our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses exists in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, there may be errors in the Company’s financial statements and in the accompanying footnote disclosures that could require restatements. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and disclosure, which could negatively impact our stock price.
We do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be 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. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
We have additional common stock and preferred stock available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 600,000,000 shares of our common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common stock and the preferred stock can be issued by the Board of Directors, without stockholder approval. As of April 7, 2014, there are 1,353,068,182 shares of our common stock outstanding, which exceeds the number of authorized shares of common stock. Further, as of April 7, 2014, there are approximately 5 billion instruments outstanding that can be converted into shares of our common stock.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities
Convertible Notes Payable During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 101,335,539 shares of common stock through the conversion of Convertible Notes Payable and accrued interest. The shares of common stock issued in this transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,724,138 shares of its common stock upon receipt of a notice of conversion on interest related to the Company’s convertible notes payable. These common shares were issued in satisfaction of $500 of accrued interest on February 5, 2014 at a conversion rate of $0.00029 per share. The Company has received confirmation by the lender that no amounts of principal or accrued interest remain outstanding at February 5, 2014.

Revolving Note from Related Party On December 16, 2013, the Company issued 98,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0008 in satisfaction of $80,746 of principal and interest in connection with the conversion of its Related Party Revolving Note Payable. On December 30, 2013, the Company issued 182,475,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0008 in satisfaction of $145,980 of principal and interest in connection with the conversion of its Related Party Revolving Note Payable.
These securities were not registered under the Securities Act. These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
Merger with U-Vend On January 7, 2014, IMS entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement (“Agreement”) with U-Vend Canada, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, IMS acquired all the outstanding shares of U-Vend in exchange for 466,666,667 shares of IMS common stock. Certain shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 603,046,666 shares of IMS common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions based on targeted revenue achievement in 2014 and 2015. Effective on January 7, 2104, as a result of the merger, U-Vend became a wholly owned subsidiary of IMS. In connection with the merger, IMS issued on the closing date, its securities to U-Vend’s shareholders in exchange for the common stock owned by U-Vend’s shareholders as follows: an aggregate of 466,666,667 shares of the IMS common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). In addition, IMS issued an aggregate of 352,422,184 shares of Common Stock and 822,787,600 warrants to financial advisors as compensation for their services in connection with the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement. The warrants granted to the financial advisors have the following terms: 160 million warrants with a 15 month term and an exercise price of $0.00025, 160 million warrants with a 5 year term and an exercise price of $0.0003, 10 million warrants with a term of 2 years and an exercise price of $0.0012, and 492,787,600 warrants with a term of 2 years and an exercise price of $.000075 per share.

Senior Convertible Notes Payable issued with Warrants During the fourth quarter of 2013 and pursuant to the August 2013 Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") dated June 18, 2013 with Cobrador Multi-Strategy Partners, LP ("Investor") the Company completed a third ($50,000 in October 2013) fourth ($20,000 in November 2013), and fifth ($30,000 in December 2013), tranche of financing. Total senior convertible notes issued in 2013 of $200,000 face value are convertible ranging from $0.00025 to $0.001 per share. Senior convertible notes payable issued during the fourth quarter include Series A warrants to purchase 525,000,000 shares of common stock and Series B warrants to purchase 525,000,000 shares of common stock. The exercise prices of the Series A warrants range from $0.001 to $0.00025 per share and have a 15 month term from date of grant. The exercise prices of the Series B warrants range from $0.0012 to $0.0003 per share and have a five year term from date of grant. All terms are consistent with previous financing transactions previously disclosed on the Company’s 3rd quarter 2013 Form 10-Q including a 4.99% beneficial ownership limit of the Company’s common stock.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013 the Company completed a sixth ($50,000 in January 2014), seventh ($25,000 in February 2014), eighth ($25,000 in March 2014) and ninth ($25,000 in April 2014) tranche of financing in connection with the SPA. Total senior convertible notes issued in the first quarter of 2014 of $125,000 face value are convertible at range from $0.00015 to $0.00025 per share and include Series A warrants to purchase 750,000,000 shares of common stock and Series B warrants to purchase 750,000,000 shares of common stock. The Series A warrants granted in 2014 have an exercise price of $0.00025 per share and have a 15 month term from date of grant. The Series B warrants granted in 2014 have an exercise price of $0.0003 per share and have a five year term from date of grant. All terms are consistent with previous financing transactions previously disclosed on the Company’s 3rd quarter 2013 Form 10-Q including a 4.99% beneficial ownership limit of the Company’s common stock. As of April 7, 2014 the Company has received $325,000 of the $400,000 SPA.
14
The Company and the Investor have entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Notes the Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 120 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend and meet an effectiveness deadline of 165 days after the closing date of the acquisition, 195 days if the Securities and Exchange Commission provides comment. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Investor would be entitled to an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the Investor’s original principal amount stated in each Senior Convertible Note on the date of the failure and monthly thereafter until failure is cured and all registration rights have been paid. Management believes the registration statement will be filed and effective timely, and as of December 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any amount for potential registration rights penalties.
Capital Lease Obligation with U-Vend In November 2013, IMS and U-Vend jointly entered into an equipment lease agreement with Automated Retail Leasing Partners (“Lessor”) for leased equipment worth approximately $197,000. The assets and obligations under this agreement are recorded in the accounts of U-Vend, with IMS having joint liability. As per the terms of the agreement, U-Vend is obligated to pay $57,202 annually including interest at 14% per annum and also buy the equipment from the Lessor for approximately $86,790 in November 2016. In addition, the Lessor will receive 50% warrant coverage of the funding provided. In conjunction with the November 2013 equipment leases financing, the Lessor received 197,250,000 IMS common stock warrants with a term of three years, and an exercise price of $0.0006. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued the Lessor an additional 47,562,211 warrants as consideration for its second draw under the equipment lease agreement. The warrants include a 4.99% beneficial ownership limit of the Company’s common stock.
The Company and the Lessor have entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of 110% of common stock underlying the Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 45 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend and meet an effectiveness deadline of 90 days after the closing date of the acquisition, 120 days if the Securities and Exchange Commission provides comment. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Lessor would be entitled to an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the Lessor’s original lease amount on the date of the failure and monthly thereafter until failure is cured and all registration rights have been paid. Management does not believe that the potential registration rights penalties related to this agreement will be significant.
Warrant Exercise Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued 43,000,000 common shares in connection with the exercise of common stock warrants. The Company received $13,600 in proceeds from this warrant exercise. The proceeds of this exercise were used to fund general operations of the Company.
Share Repurchased by the Registrant
We did not purchase or repurchase any of our securities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, shareholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest over three years and expire in 5 to 10 years.
The Company records share based payments under the provisions of ASC 718. Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on certain assumptions. The Company estimated the expected volatility based on data used by peer group of public companies. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the equivalent U.S. Treasury bonds yield over the expected term. The Company has never paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2013 regarding equity compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Nature of Business
On January 7, 2014, we entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between ourselves, U-Vend Canada, Inc. and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. U-Vend Canada, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiary, U-Vend USA LLC (collectively, “U-Vend”), is in the business of developing, marketing and distributing co-branded self-serve electronic kiosks, mall/airport co-branding islands, and digital advertising solutions throughout North America. As of December 31, 2013 U-Vend owns and operates 33 kiosks in the greater Chicago, IL area and markets products supplied by its co-branding partners. Pursuant to the Agreement, we have acquired all of the outstanding shares of U-Vend in exchange for 466,666,667 shares of our common stock. Certain shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 603,046,666 shares of our common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions more fully described in the Agreement. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders and by the Company’s Board of Directors (see Subsequent Events Note of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.)
On October 8, 2009, we completed an acquisition in the legal vertical market through the purchase of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of LegalStore.com. LegalStore.com is an Internet based company that primarily sells legal supplies and legal forms. Despite sustained efforts from 2009 through 2012 to bring to market our customer relationship solutions product offerings, we were unable to secure the needed funding. As a result, in early 2013 we elected to change the strategic direction of the Company. On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement with Western Principal Partners LLC (“WPP”), a California Limited Liability Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, WPP purchased from the Company all the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LegalStore.com, a Delaware Corporation. LegalStore.com was operating the Company’s e-commerce business. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders. In consideration of the sale, WPP agreed to pay to the Company total consideration of $210,000 including assumption of operating liabilities. Operating liabilities included, but are not limited to existing operating agreements, trade payables and certain tax obligations. The fair value of consideration received for the stock of LegalStore.com was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded as December 31, 2012 in the amount of approximately $35,000, net of income tax effect (see Note 2 Discontinued Operations of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.)
In accordance with FASB ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations-Other Presentation Matters” results of LegalStore.com operations are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.
Management's plans
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $387,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $1,774,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $329,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $131,000 at December 31, 2013. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company needs to raise additional financing to fund the Company’s operations for fiscal year 2014, to allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.
As discussed above, on January 7, 2014, Internet Media Services, Inc. entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend. The Company believes the merger with U-Vend will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital. The Company is in discussion for raising additional capital to execute on its current business plans. There is no assurance that future financing arrangements will be successful or that the operating results of U-Vend will yield sufficient cash flow to execute the Company’s business plans or satisfy its obligations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations: For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Revenue
The Company had no revenue from continuing operations in either year ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for continuing operations were $339,885 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $242,506 in the prior year. This reflects an increase in operating costs of 40% resulting from increases in salaries, benefits and professional fees. As the Company transitioned from the disposal of the LegalStore.com in the first quarter of 2013, management has focused its attention on identifying strategic alternatives that resulted in the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. in January of 2014. These efforts have resulted in increased professional services and salaries in the process of identifying and evaluating merger and future financing opportunities, including the chief executive’s salary of $180,000, of which $142,608 remained unpaid at year end. During the year ended December 31, 2012 our executives did not receive salaries. The increase was offset by a decrease in other administrative expenses that primarily relate to product lines that are no longer part of the current business strategy.
17
Other Expenses
Total other expenses for continuing operations were $68,209 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $142,449 in the prior year, an overall decrease of 52%. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $35,882 compared to $37,440 in the prior year. During 2012 additional interest resulted from defaults of convertible promissory notes which were paid off through debt conversions in 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we also incurred a loss of $105,009 associated with the change in the fair value of our convertible promissory notes. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt when actual interest liabilities were settled on convertible notes at amounts less than previously accrued in the amount of $31,090.
Discontinued Operations
In 2013 the Company realized net income of $19,174 from the LegalStore.com operations that were sold in the first quarter of 2013. The total purchase price of $210,241 was offset by the net assets and liabilities transferred of $206,402 generating a $3,839 as a gain on the sale of LegalStore.com. In 2012, our loss from discontinued operations was $37,858, including a write-down of assets associated with the discontinued component of $35,000.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $39,717 or 9.3% to $387,281 compared to a net loss of $426,998 incurred in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $131,000 compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $691,000 at December 31, 2012. The decrease in the working capital deficiency was due to reductions in total debt outstanding since December 31, 2012 primarily due to conversion to common stock and new borrowings of $200,000 are recorded net of unamortized discounts of $143,751. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our operating activities from continuing operations used cash of approximately $157,000 compared to approximately $167,000 used during the year ended December 31, 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $331,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $198,000 of cash. The principal component of these working capital changes was an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2012, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $258,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $53,000 of cash.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $176,500 proceeds from senior convertible notes net of financing costs and $50,000 in proceeds from a related party. We had a net reduction in outstanding amounts on our revolving credit agreement with a related party, primarily due to a conversion of principal to common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we received $10,500 from a private sale of shares of our common stock and had approximately $67,000 of net additional borrowings from a related party. Further, we were able to reduce notes payable and accrued interest through a conversion to equity in the amount of approximately $51,000.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we incurred a loss of approximately $387,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, have incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $1,774,000, have a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $329,000 and have a working capital deficit of approximately $131,000 at December 31, 2013. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
To allow us to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis, we will need to raise additional financing to fund our operations. Should additional financing not be available, we will have to negotiate with our lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully restructure our debt obligations in the event we fail to obtain additional financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.
Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the last three years as we are generally able to pass the increase in our material and labor costs to our customers, or absorb them as we improve the efficiency of our operations.
18
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The consolidated financial statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired or as additional information is obtained. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Business Combinations
Business combinations are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Under the guidance, consideration transferred, including contingent consideration, and the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed then a gain on acquisition is recorded. FASB ASC 805 requires that for each business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the acquirer and the existence of a controlling financial interest shall be used to identify the acquirer in a business combination. In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer is usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, if a business combination has occurred, but it is not clear which of the combining entities is the acquirer, U.S. GAAP requires considering additional factors in making that determination. These factors include the relative voting rights of the combined entity, the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, the composition of senior management in the combined entity and the relative size of the combining entities. Under the guidance, all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The application of business combination accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, revolving note from related party, convertible notes payables, and senior convertible notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments, except for derivative warrant liabilities, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the revolving note from related party approximates the carrying value of the obligations based on these instruments bearing interest at variable rates consistent with the current rates available to the Company. The senior convertible notes payable are recorded at face amount, net of any unamortized discounts, and have an estimated fair value of approximately $210,000 based on the underlying shares the notes can be converted into. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on December 31, 2013, since the underlying shares are trading in an active, observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a Level 1 input. The convertible notes payable are measured at fair value each reporting period, as further discussed below in “Fair Value of Debt.” The determination of the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities includes unobservable inputs and is therefore categorized as a Level 3 measurement, as further discussed in below in “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
Fair value 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. FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
·
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
·
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
·
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
19
Fair Value of Debt
Under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company determined the notes payable are liabilities reported at fair value because the notes payable will be convertible into a variable number of common shares at fixed monetary amount, known at inception. The notes payable are to be subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value being recognized in earnings. The fair value of the notes payable is measured by calculating possible outcomes of conversion to common shares and repayment of the notes payable, then weighting the probability of each possible outcome according to management’s estimates. The fair value measurement is classified as a Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants the Company has issued have a “down round provision” and further, the Company does not have adequate shares authorized to accommodate the exercise of all outstanding equity instruments. As a result, the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes.
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The methodology for valuing our outstanding warrants classified as derivative instruments was determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and modeling of the Black Scholes valuations using multiple volatility assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The warrant liability is measured at fair value using certain estimated factors such as volatility and probability which are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs are used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative warrant liabilities include impact of dilution and volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in the volatility input would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
Income Tax
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The measurement of deferred income tax assets are reduced to the extent of the tax benefits not expected to be realized in the future. We considered whether it is more likely than not that the tax attributes making up the deferred tax assets will be utilized in the future. We reviewed the activity that resulted in historical net losses and determined there was not sufficient evidence to support the net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance that fully offsets our net deferred tax assets.
We review tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. We did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2013 and 2012. We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not recognize any interest and penalties.
Share-Based Payments
We record our common shares issued based on the value of the shares issued or consideration received, including cash, services rendered or other non-monetary assets, whichever is more readily determinable.
Discontinued Operations
As a result of the board of directors committing to a plan to sell LegalStore.com prior to December 31, 2012, the related assets and liabilities are considered to be held for sale and are presented as discontinued operations on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” the Company has presented the results of LegalStore.com operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer also acting as chief financial officer , as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our chief executive officer also acting as chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses described below exists in our internal control over financial reporting based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer also acting as chief financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the 1992 COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.
Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2013, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses exists in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To address the material weaknesses we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures and retained the services of a consultant to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the year ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The principal occupations for at least the past five years of each of our directors and executive officers are as follows:
Raymond Meyers founded IMS in March 2007 and has been Chief Executive Officer and President since the Company’s inception. Mr. Meyers founded and operated several technology-based companies, with the most recent one being eBoz, Inc., an Internet marketing tools company, which he operated from November 2001 to April 2005 and sold to Web.com (NasdaqGM: WWWW), formerly Website Pros, Inc., in April 2005. From April 2005 to December 2006 he was an employee of Web.com holding the position of General Manager, eBoz Division. He was previously (from December 1996 to December 1999) CEO and President of ProtoSource Corporation, a NASDAQ listed company. He is a graduate of Rutgers University with continuing education at UCLA. We believe that as a result of his service as our Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer since inception, which adds historical knowledge, operational expertise and continuity to our board of directors, and his extensive corporate management experience, including serving as the chief executive officer of a publically-held company, he provides the board with a deep understanding of all aspects of our business, both strategically and operationally, and therefore should serve on our board.
Michael Buechler was IMS’s Executive Vice President – Web Properties from March 2009 through January 2012 and resigned as Secretary and Director on January 7, 2014. Mr. Buechler currently holds the position of Director of Product at Dun and Bradstreet Credibility Corp. Mr. Buechler co-founded Linkbuddies.com banner exchange in 1998 and operated it until it was sold to iBoost, Inc. in 2000. LinkBuddies was one of the first banner exchanges in the world. Mr. Buechler was Vice President – Web Properties at eBoz, Inc., an Internet marketing tools company from 2001 until its sale to Web.com (formerly Website Pros, Inc.) in 2005. From 2005 to 2008, he was employed by Web.com as Director – Product Strategy and was responsible for product strategy for this NASDAQ listed web services company. Mr. Buechler has a thorough understanding of our business and industry and has been instrumental in our development.
Paul Neelin founded U-Vend Canada Inc. in 2009 and was subsequently acquired by Internet Media Services, Inc. in January 2014. Mr. Neelin serves as the Company’s Chief Operations Officer and is responsible for approving new product development, assisting in strategic acquisitions, managing brand partner relationships, and overseeing national and international growth. He offers a unique blend of executive acumen with over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience with several successful ventures. These include food and beverage design businesses and operations as both a franchisee and franchisor. He was the Founder of a design and manufacturing company that designed and developed a series of mobile trailers taking brands to non-traditional venues. Mr. Neelin successfully developed mobile trailers for McDonald's worldwide (Japan, Amsterdam, three Walt Disney Parks). Mobile trailers and carts were also designed for Coca-Cola, Kodak, Mr. Sub, Hagen Daz, and Labatt's breweries. He was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the establishment of U-Vend. Having a strategic vision of modernizing vending, Mr. Neelin worked with several kiosk manufacturing companies testing various makes and models of kiosks before deciding and insisting on North American made equipment only. This standard is currently being used and will continue to be one of U-Vend’s core values moving forward. We believe that as a result of his service as the Founder of U-Vend Canada Inc., Mr. Neelin possesses invaluable historical knowledge and operational expertise, and therefore should serve on our board.
22
Alexander Orlando holds the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for Eagle International Institute, Inc. from March, 2008 to Present. He was Vice President for eBoz, Inc., an Internet marketing tools company, from January 2000 to December 2007, Senior Executive for ITT Industries-Goulds Pumps from August 1998 to December 1999, General Manager and Controller for Foley-PLP from Jan 1995 to Aug 1998, Managing Partner of Wagner's Tax and Consulting Services and owner of several Subway Sandwich Franchises and Real Estate Investments from 1995 to Present. He is a graduate of Ithaca College with a BS in Finance and Accounting, with continuing education at Geneseo State College. We believe Mr. Orlando should serve on our board of directors based on the perspective he brings to our board of directors from his exposure to the internal and external financial requirements and controls of both large and smaller technology companies, and the unique perspective he brings to the our board of directors from his entrepreneurial experiences.
Patrick White was Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Document Security Systems, Inc. (“DSS”) from August 2002 to December 2012. In addition, Mr. White was President of DSS from August 2002 until June 2006 and was Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSS from August 2002 until January 2008. DSS is an NYSE AMEX listed company. Mr. White received his Bachelors of Science (Accounting) and Masters of Business Administration degrees from Rochester Institute of Technology. We believe Mr. White is qualified to serve on our board of directors based on his extensive corporate management experience, including serving as the chief executive officer of a publically-held company (DSS), and his experience with the organizational challenges involved with becoming and operating as a publically-held company.
Philip Jones is a CPA and holds an MBA from Rochester Institute of Technology. He has 13 years experience in both the public and private accounting and finance sectors, including positions at Arthur Anderson from 1996 to 1998 and PricewaterhouseCoopers from 2003 to 2004 , American Fiber Systems (Controller) from 2000 to 2003, and 2004 to 2005 , and Zapata (NYSE:ZAP)(Accounting Manager and Director of Finance) from 1998 to 2000 . Mr. Jones joined Document Security Systems, Inc. ("DSS") in 2005 as its Corporate Controller and has been its Chief Financial Officer since 2009. DSS is an NYSE AMEX listed company. We believe Mr. Jones should serve as a member of our board of directors based on his experience in the public and private accounting and finance sectors, and being Chief Financial Officer at a publically traded company (DSS), which provides our board of directors with insights into the areas of corporate finance, cash management, and SEC reporting requirements.
Term of Office
Directors are elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. Annual meetings of the shareholders, for the selection of directors to succeed those whose terms expire, are held at such time each year as designated by the Board of Directors. Officers of the Company are elected by the Board of Directors, which is required to consider that subject at its first meeting after every annual meeting of shareholders. Each officer holds office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not have any committees of the Board of Directors. We consider a majority of our Board members (consisting of Messrs. Jones, Orlando, and White) to be independent directors under NYSE AMEX rules.
Corporate Governance
We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. As we grow and evolve as a SEC registrant, our corporate governance structure is expected to be enhanced.
ITEM 11 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As of December 31, 2013 there was no employment agreement with our executive officer, Mr. Meyers. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Meyers on January 7, 2014. We do not have key person life insurance on the lives of any of our executive officers.
The following table discloses compensation received by our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, and our former Executive Vice-President, also referred to herein as our “named executive officers,” for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013and 2012. Mr. Meyers earned a salary of $180,000 per annum for the calendar year 2013 of which $37,392 was paid during the year and $142,608 was earned but unpaid at December 31, 2013.

Director Compensation
Our non-employee directors do not currently receive cash compensation for their services as directors although they are provided reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. In order to attract and retain qualified persons to our Board, in July 2011, we granted our non-employee directors stock options through our Equity Incentive Plan. Each non-employee director received 500,000 stock options at a strike price of $0.30, vesting equally over a three year period, and with an expiration date of ten years from date of grant. Directors were not compensated during the year ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Equity Incentive Plan
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, shareholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” and “non-statutory stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, together with the grant of bonus stock and stock appreciation rights, at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Incentive stock options are issuable only to our eligible officers, directors and key employees. Non-statutory stock options are issuable only to our non-employee directors and consultants. Upon stockholder approval of the Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock or appreciation rights may be issued under the Plan. The Plan will be administered by our full Board of Directors. Under the Plan, the Board will determine which individuals shall receive options, grants or stock appreciation rights, the time period during which the rights may be exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the rights and the option price. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has 2,630,000 options outstanding under the Plan to employees, directors and outside consultants.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that liability of directors to us for monetary damages is eliminated to the full extent provided by Delaware law. Under Delaware law, a director is not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for authorizing the unlawful payment of a dividend or other distribution on our capital stock or the unlawful purchases of our capital stock; (iv) a violation of Delaware law with respect to conflicts of interest by directors; or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.
24
The effect of this provision in our Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our stockholders’ rights (through stockholders’ derivative suits) to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including any breach resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (v) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of our security holders to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care or any liability for violation of the federal securities laws.
ITEM 12 - SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of the April 7, 2014, there are 1,353,068,182 shares of common stock outstanding. This number and the table below do not include the 603,046,666 shares that are contingently issuable to U-Vend shareholders subject to certain earn-out provisions. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of the outstanding common shares as of April 7, 2014 by (i) each person who owns beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock; (ii) each of our executive officers and directors; and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. The shares listed include as to each person any shares that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days from the date hereof. Except as otherwise indicated, each such person has sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. The address of our executive officers and directors is in care of us at 1507 7th Street, #425, Santa Monica, CA 90401.

ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Company has a revolving credit agreement with Mr. Raymond Meyers, a shareholder and chief executive officer of the Company. This credit agreement allows borrowings up to $282,000, and has been amended to extend the agreement through June 30, 2014. The outstanding balance on the credit agreement bears interest at an annual rate of 6% above one year LIBOR (6.6% as of December 31, 2013), and is secured by all of the assets of the Company.
25
During the year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Meyers converted $260,212 and $53,104, respectively of principal and accrued interest outstanding into 316,735,596 shares of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with the revolving credit agreement, the outstanding interest and principal on the dates on conversion were converted at a price per share that reflected the average lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock for the prior ten days.
As of December 31, 2013 the revolving credit line had no outstanding balance ($281,228 - December 31, 2012). For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense under this note amounted to $16,926 and $17,814, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, accrued interest amounted to $2,934 ($39,112 - 2012), which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to comply with various covenants. In the event of default and upon the expiration of any applicable cure period, Mr. Meyers, in his sole discretion may request repayment in the form of newly issued common stock of the Company.
Director Independence
As our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of the board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. However, we consider a majority of our Board members (consisting of Messrs. Orlando, White and Jones) to be independent directors under NYSE AMEX rules.
ITEM 14 - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Internet Media Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Internet Media Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Internet Media Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Internet Media Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Internet Media Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and, as of December 31, 2013, has negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOILDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business – On January 7, 2014, Internet Media Services, Inc. (“Company”) entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between ourselves, U-Vend Canada, Inc. and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. U-Vend Canada, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiary, U-Vend USA LLC (collectively, U-Vend), is in the business of developing, marketing and distributing co-branded self-serve electronic kiosks, mall/airport co-branding islands, and digital advertising solutions throughout North America. As of December 31, 2013, U-Vend owned and operated 33 kiosks in the greater Chicago, IL area and markets products supplied by its co-branding partners. U-Vend expects to place 15 additional kiosks into service early in the second quarter of 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, we have acquired all of the outstanding shares of U-Vend in exchange for 466,666,667 shares of our common stock. U-Vend Canada, Inc. will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 603,046,666 shares of our common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions more fully described in the Agreement. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders and by the Company’s Board of Directors. (See Note 10 Subsequent Events)
On October 8, 2009, the Company completed an acquisition in the legal vertical market through the purchase of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of LegalStore.com. LegalStore.com is an Internet based company that primarily sells legal supplies and legal forms. Despite sustained efforts from 2009 through 2012 to bring to market our customer relationship solutions product offerings, the Company was unable to secure the needed funding. As a result, in early 2013 the Company elected to change the strategic direction of the Company. On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement with Western Principal Partners LLC (“WPP”), a California Limited Liability Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, WPP purchased from the Company all the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LegalStore.com, a Delaware Corporation. LegalStore.com was operating the Company’s e-commerce business. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders. In consideration of the sale, WPP agreed to pay to the Company total consideration of $210,000 including assumption of operating liabilities. Operating liabilities included, but are not limited to existing operating agreements, trade payables and certain tax obligations. The fair value of consideration received for the stock of LegalStore.com was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, an impairment charge was estimated as on December 31, 2012 in the amount of $35,000, net of income tax effect and a gain of $3,839 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013 (See Note 2 Discontinued Operations).
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 205-20 “Discontinued Operations-Other Presentation Matters” results of LegalStore.com operations are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.
Management's plans
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $387,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $1,774,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $329,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $131,000 at December 31, 2013. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company needs to raise additional financing to fund the Company’s operations for fiscal year 2014, to allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.
As discussed above, on January 7, 2014, Internet Media Services, Inc. entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend. The Company believes the merger with U-Vend will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital. The Company is in discussion for raising additional capital to execute on its current business plans. There is no assurance that future financing arrangements will be successful or that the operating results of U-Vend will yield sufficient cash flow to execute the Company’s business plans or satisfy its obligations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Internet Media Services, Inc. and the discontinued operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary (LegalStore.com, Inc.). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (See Note 10 Subsequent Events)
F-7
Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired or as additional information is obtained.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future.
The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2013 or 2012. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
Common Shares Issued - As of December 31, 2013 there were not adequate authorized shares to satisfy the current obligations upon conversion or exercise issued by the Company. Common shares issued are recorded based on the value of the shares issued or consideration received, including cash, services rendered or other non-monetary assets, whichever is more readily determinable.
Preferred Stock Authorized - The Company has authorization for “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to common stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, and no shares issued or outstanding.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments- Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, revolving note from related party, convertible notes payables, and senior convertible notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments, except for derivative warrant liabilities, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the revolving note from related party approximates the carrying value of the obligations based on these instruments bearing interest at variable rates consistent with the current rates available to the Company. The senior convertible notes payable are recorded at face amount, net of any unamortized discounts, and have an estimated fair value of approximately $210,000 based on the underlying shares the notes can be converted into. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on December 31, 2013, since the underlying shares are trading in an active, observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a Level 1 input. The convertible notes payable are measured at fair value each reporting period, as further discussed in Note 4. The determination of the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities includes unobservable inputs and is therefore categorized as a Level 3 measurement, as further discussed in Note 6.
Fair value 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. FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
·
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
·
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
·
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
Earnings Per Common Share - The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share reflect the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.
F-8
As of December 31, 2013, there were not adequate authorized shares to satisfy the current obligations upon conversion or exercise issued by the Company. As of December 31, 2013, there were 1,604,270,805 (36,704,425 - 2012) shares potentially issuable under convertible debt agreements, options, and warrants that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the Company’s losses during the year.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued approximately 819,000,000 shares related to its acquisition of U-Vend, including advisor fee shares, approximately 603,000,000 contingently issuable shares in conjunction with the U-Vend acquisition, and instruments convertible into approximately 3,300,000,000 shares (see Notes 3, 9, 10). Of the convertible instruments issued subsequent to year end, 43,000,000 were converted to common shares.
Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants the Company has issued have a “down round provision” and further, the Company does not have adequate shares authorized to accommodate the exercise of all outstanding equity instruments. As a result, the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
Share-Based Compensation Expense - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Stock Compensation.” This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
Reclassifications - Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to current period presentation. These classifications had no effect on the results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 8, 2013 with Western Principal Partners LLC (“WPP”), a California Limited Liability Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, WPP purchased from the Company all the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LegalStore.com, a Delaware Corporation. LegalStore.com was operating the Company’s e-commerce business. The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders. In consideration of the sale, WPP paid the Company $95,000 at close and assumed certain operating liabilities. Operating liabilities included, but are not limited to existing operating agreements, trade payables and certain tax obligations. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of consideration received for the stock of LegalStore.com was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded on December 31, 2012 in the amount of $35,000, net of income tax effect. The Company used the proceeds for payment of its payables and for working capital purposes.
As a result of the board of directors committing to a plan to sell LegalStore.com prior to December 31, 2012, the related assets and liabilities are considered to be held for sale and are presented as discontinued operations on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. In accordance with FASB ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” the Company has presented the results of LegalStore.com operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 3. SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES
In August 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") dated June 18, 2013 with Cobrador Multi-Strategy Partners, LP ("Investor") pursuant to which the Investor will provide an aggregate of $400,000 financing through senior convertible notes and warrants. The financing and the related terms are dependent on several conditions including the Company's merger with U-Vend, which was completed on January 7, 2014 (see Note 10), and the Company effecting certain changes in its capital structure.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, the Company issued five senior convertible notes ("Senior Convertible Notes") to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 along with Series A and Series B warrants ("Warrants") to the Investor to acquire shares of common stock in the Company. The SPA, Senior Convertible Notes, Warrants and other ancillary agreements with the Investor are referred to as the “Financing Agreement.” Each Senior Convertible Note under the Financing Agreement is for a term of one year and bears interest at 7% payable in cash or shares of the Company's common stock, and provides for an increase in the rate of interest if there is a default as defined in the Financing Agreement.
The Investor can convert $150,000 of outstanding principal into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.001 per share, and $50,000 of outstanding principal amounts into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.00025 per share, subject to an adjustment with a minimum adjusted conversion price of $0.00015 per share. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution protection; for example, if the Company issues shares for a consideration less than the applicable conversion price, the conversion price is reduced to such amount. The Investor agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Senior Convertible Note and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by the lender and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion exceeds 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. However, this limitation does not preclude the holder from converting notes payable into common stock after selling shares owned into the market. As of December 31, 2013, the Senior Convertible Notes were convertible into 350,000,000 shares of common stock, without taking into account the 4.99% limitation on ownership.
Through December 31, 2013, the Company issued the Investor an aggregate 525 million Series A warrants and 525 million Series B warrants. The Series A warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $0.00025 and the Series B warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.0012 to $0.0003. Series A warrants expire in 15 months from the date of issuance and series B warrants expire in five years from the date of issuance.
The Company allocated the $200,000 of proceeds received from the Senior Convertible Notes based on the computed fair values of the Senior Convertible Note and Warrants issued. The Company valued the Warrants at fair value of $168,895 after reflecting additional debt discount and warrant liability. Accordingly, the resulting fair value allocated to the debt component of $31,105 was used to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of the Senior Convertible Notes, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $31,105 recorded to additional paid-in capital. The value of the beneficial conversion feature was limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the debt component of the Senior Convertible Notes. The aggregate amounts allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature of $200,000 were recorded as a debt discount at the date of issuance and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of Senior Convertible Notes under the interest method of accounting. The initial carrying value was $0 after the debt discounts. As of December 31, 2013, the Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $200,000 net of unamortized debt discounts of $143,751, resulting in a carrying amount of $56,249. During the year ended December 31, 2013, $56,249 of discount has been amortized and recorded as interest expense.
The Warrants issued have a “down round provision” and further, the Company does not have adequate shares authorized to accommodate the exercise of all outstanding equity instruments. As a result, the Warrants are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. The derivative warrant liabilities are marked to market at each balance sheet date. The fair value of these warrants was measured at $168,895 upon issuance and at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the warrants was determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and modeling of the Black Scholes valuations using multiple volatility assumptions. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
F-10
Financing costs of $23,500 paid or payable to third parties associated with the Senior Convertible Notes are included in deferred financing costs on the balance sheet, and are amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the respective Senior Convertible Note.
The Company and the Investor have entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Notes the Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 120 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend and meet an effectiveness deadline of 165 days after the closing date of the acquisition, 195 days if the Securities and Exchange Commission provides comment. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Investor would be entitled to an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the Investor’s original principal amount stated in each Senior Convertible Note on the date of the failure and monthly thereafter until failure is cured and all registration rights have been paid. Management believes the registration statement will be filed and effective timely, and as of December 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any amount for potential registration rights penalties.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $125,000 at a conversion price of $0.00025 pursuant to the SPA and issued the Investor 750 million Series A warrants with an exercise price of $0.00025 per share and 750 million Series B warrants with an exercise price of $0.0003 per share under previously described terms.
NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE
During 2011, the Company issued three Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $117,500. The Notes, which are due on various dates between May and September, 2012, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, with a provision for additional interest under certain circumstances, are unsecured and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of lender at any time after 180 days from the date of the Note issuance at a conversion price equal to a 41% discount (for two Notes) or 42% discount (for one Note) to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution protection; for example, if the Company issues shares for a consideration less than the applicable conversion price, the conversion price is reduced to such amount. The lender agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by the lender and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion exceeds 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. On March 2, 2012, the lender elected to partially convert one Note in the principal amount of $8,000 into shares of the Company stock and was issued 338,983 shares of common stock by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Note. The fair value of the note converted and shares issued was $16,949.
As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding principal of the three Notes amounted to $109,500 and the maximum number of common shares the note could be converted into based on 4.99% of the outstanding shares was 1,229,431 shares. As of December 31, 2012 the three convertible promissory notes had become due and payable along with any unpaid interest on various dates between May and September 2012. The aggregate outstanding principal of $109,500 plus unpaid interest had not been paid on the maturity dates. As a result, the three convertible promissory notes are considered to be in default and therefore, due and payable in an amount equal to the Default Sum as defined in the agreement. The Default Sum is equal to 150% of the sum of the unpaid principal, unpaid interest and unpaid default interest, which amounted to $193,954 in aggregate as of December 31, 2012. Further, the default interest rate for the three convertible notes during the default period was increased to 22%. On November 7, 2012, the Company received a demand notice requesting payment for the Default Sum owed together with all unpaid interest. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the lender elected to convert all Convertible Promissory Notes principal amount, plus default sum and accrued interest aggregating to $285,734 into shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, 147,881,704 shares of common stock were issued by the Company in 2013 pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes.
As of December 31, 2013 all outstanding principal on the Notes had been satisfied through conversion to common stock. All outstanding accrued interest on the Notes was converted into common stock during the first quarter of 2014.
Under FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company determined the Notes are liabilities reported at fair value because the Notes will be convertible into a variable number of common shares at fixed monetary amount, known at inception. The Notes are to be subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value being recognized in earnings. The fair value of the Notes is measured by calculating possible outcomes of conversion to common shares and repayment of the Notes, then weighting the probability of each possible outcome according to management’s estimates. Management has determined that the most likely outcome will be conversion at the default sum and the fair value of the Notes is equal to the estimated fair value of equity securities the Company will issue upon conversion. The fair value measurement is classified as a Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy. The following table is a roll forward of the Notes fair value:

NOTE 5. REVOLVING NOTE FROM RELATED PARTY
Revolving Credit Agreement
The Company has a revolving credit agreement with Mr. Raymond Meyers, a shareholder and chief executive officer of the Company. This credit agreement allows borrowings up to $282,000, and has been amended to extend the agreement through June 30, 2014. The outstanding balance on the credit agreement bears interest at an annual rate of 6% above one year LIBOR (6.6% as of December 31, 2013), and is secured by all of the assets of the Company.
In September 2013, Mr. Meyers requested payment of $86,591 of the outstanding revolving credit balance in newly issued common stock of the Company, which the Company’s Board of Director’s approved. The terms of the conversion were established and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to be the average lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock on the prior ten business days. On September 17, 2013, the repayment amount of $86,591was converted to 36,260,596 shares. On December 16 and December 30, 2013, Mr. Meyers converted $80,746 and $145,980, respectively of principal and accrued interest outstanding to shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the revolving credit agreement. The outstanding interest and principal at these dates were converted at $0.0008 per share, which reflected the average lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock for the prior ten days as prescribed in the agreement. As a result, an aggregate of 280,475,000 common shares were issued to Mr. Meyers in connection with these conversions.
As a result of the conversions, as of December 31, 2013 the revolving credit line had no outstanding balance ($281,228 - December 31, 2012). Future borrowings wil be at the descretion of Mr. Meyers. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense under this note amounted to $16,926 and $17,814, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, accrued interest amounted to $2,934 ($39,112 - 2012), which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to comply with various covenants. In the event of default and upon the expiration of any applicable cure period, Mr. Meyers, in his sole discretion may request repayment in the form of newly issued common stock of the Company.
Accrued Salary – Mr. Meyers
During 2013, the Company recorded salary expense for Mr. Meyers in the amount of $15,000 per month, as approved by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2013, $142,608 of this salary was unpaid and recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet. Mr. Meyers did not receive a salary in fiscal year 2012 and no amount was accrued at December 31, 2012.
Note Payable – Director
On August 29, 2013, the Company borrowed from an individual who is a director of the Company, $50,000 pursuant to a promissory note. The promissory note matures in one year from the date of the borrowing and bears interest at 8% per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest expense under this note amounted to $1,340 ($0 - 2012). As of December 3, 2013, accrued interest expense amounted to $1,000 ($0 - 2012). Interest is paid monthly.
NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
On September 12, 2013 and December 19, 2013, the majority of the shareholders of the Company approved in two written consents, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000, then from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000, respectively. The increase in authorized shares was affected pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
As of December 31, 2013, there were not adequate authorized shares to satisfy the current obligations upon conversion or exercise of all equity instruments issued by the Company. As a result, the all warrants have been measured at fair market value and are presented in the balance sheet as liabilities. Warrants issued in and prior to 2012 are significantly out of the money and diluted therefore, management has deemed the fair value of these to be de minimis. The fair value of warrants issued in 2013 are determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and modeling of the Black Scholes valuations using multiple volatility assumptions. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,050,000,000 warrants to the Senior Convertible Notes holder (see Note 3) and 197,250,000 warrants to the Lessor provided an equipment lease financing line jointly to U-Vend and the Company.
On March 21, 2012, the Company sold in a private placement 50,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to acquire 50,000 shares of the Company stock at an exercise price of $0.15 for total proceeds of $5,000. The warrants have a contractual term of three years. The fair value of warrants issued in the private placement is minor. In April 2012, the Company sold in a private placement 100,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company stock at an exercise price of $0.15 for total proceeds of $5,000. The warrants have a contractual term of three years. The fair value of warrants issued in the private placement is minor. In December 2012, the Company sold in a private placement 50,000 shares of its common stock for $500.

NOTE 7. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, shareholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest over three years and expire in 5 to 10 years.
The Company records shares based payments under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation." Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company estimated the expected volatility based on data used by its peer group of public companies. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the equivalent U.S. Treasury bonds yield over the expected term. The Company has never paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.

The Company has approximately $1,308,000 in net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) available to reduce future taxable income. These carryforwards begin to expire in year 2029. Due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future and utilize the NOLs before they expire, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset the NOLs, and the total net deferred tax assets, as well.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ("Section 382") imposes limitations on the availability of a company's net operating losses and other corporate tax attributes as ownership changes occur. As a result of the historical equity transactions of the Company, a Section 382 ownership change may have occurred and a study will be required to determine the date of the ownership change, if any. The amount of the Company's net operating losses and other tax attributes incurred prior to the ownership change may be limited based on the Company's value. A full valuation allowance has been established for the Company's deferred tax assets, including net operating losses and other corporate tax attributes. Accordingly, any limitation resulting from Section 382 application is note expected to have a material effect on the balance sheets or statements of operations of the Company.
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the states of California and New York. The tax years 2010-2013 generally remain open to examination by these taxing authorities. In addition, the 2009 tax year is still open for the state of California.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital Lease Obligation with U-Vend
Prior to the merger with U-Vend described in Note 10, the Company and U-Vend jointly entered into a term sheet dated October 15, 2013 with a financing company (“Lessor”) to provide for equipment lease financing in the aggregate amount of $1 million. The Company and U-Vend will use this financing to acquire certain equipment to be used in the direct income producing activities of U-Vend.
In accordance with FASB ASC 405-40 “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements,” these lease obligations have not been recorded by the Company based on the expectation that U-Vend will use the leased assets in its operations and satisfy the payment obligations. However, the Company would be responsible for the lease payments should U-Vend default on the lease obligation and fail to make payments.
Per the terms of the agreement with the Lessor, the Company and U-Vend will be obligated to pay $57,200 annually and also buy the equipment from the Lessor for approximately $86,000 in November 2016. The following schedule provides minimum future rental payments required under this lease obligation which have a remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year:

The Lessor was induced to extend the equipment lease line with a grant of 197,250,000 common stock warrants with a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.0006 per share. The warrant was determined to have a fair value of $45,174, which was recorded as a discount to the capital lease obligation carried on the books of U-Vend. The warrant obligation has been included in derivative warrant liabilities and receivable from U-Vend Canada, Inc. on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2013.
The Company and the Lessor have entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of 110% of common stock underlying the Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 45 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend and meet an effectiveness deadline of 90 days after the closing date of the acquisition, 120 days if the Securities and Exchange Commission provides comment. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Lessor would be entitled to an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the Lessor’s original lease amount on the date of the failure and monthly thereafter until failure is cured and all registration rights have been paid. Management does not believe that the potential registration rights penalties related to this agreement will be significant.
Subsequent to December 31, 2103, the Company and U-Vend assumed additional lease obligations for leased equipment of approximately $100,000 and issued 47,562,211 warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 and expire three years from the date of issuance. As a result of the additional lease financing, U-Vend will place 15 kiosks into service during the second quarter of 2014.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc.
On January 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of U-Vend in exchange for 466,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 603,046,666 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions based on targeted revenue achievement in 2014 and 2015. Effective on January 7, 2104, as a result of the merger, U-Vend became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the merger, the Company issued on the closing date, its securities to U-Vend’s shareholders in exchange for the common stock owned by U-Vend’s shareholders as follows: an aggregate of 466,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 352,422,184 shares of Common Stock and 822,787,600 warrants to financial advisors as compensation for their services in connection with the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement.
U.S. GAAP, requires that for each business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the acquirer and the existence of a controlling financial interest shall be used to identify the acquirer in a business combination. In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer is usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. In accordance with FASB ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, if a business combination has occurred, but it is not clear which of the combining entities is the acquirer, U.S. GAAP requires considering additional factors in making that determination. These factors include the relative voting rights of the combined entity, the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, the composition of senior management in the combined entity and the relative size of the combining entities.
Based on the aforementioned and after taking in consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances, management came to the conclusion that Internet Media Services, Inc., as the legal acquirer was also the accounting acquirer in the transaction. As a result, the merger will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the FASB ASC 805. Under the guidance, consideration, including contingent consideration, the assets and liabilities of U-Vend are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill, if any. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed, then a bargain purchase gain on acquisition is recorded.
F-15
U-Vend is in the business of developing, marketing and distributing various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. U-Vend has four market segments; Environmental, Retail, Service and Mall/Airport Islands with a primary focus on Environmental and Retail. U-Vend seeks to place its kiosks in high-traffic host locations such as big box stores, restaurants, malls, airports, casinos, universities, and colleges. Currently, U-Vend owns and operates their kiosks, but intends to also provide the kiosks, through a distributor relationship, to the entrepreneur wanting to own their own business.
The Company is still in the process of determining the fair value of the consideration paid, which will include shares, contingent shares and the effective settlement of amounts owed to the Company by U-Vend, as well as the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These assets and liabilities are expected to include working capital items, fixed assets, separately identifiable intangible assets, capital lease obligations, convertible notes payable, deferred taxes and goodwill, if any. This evaluation will be completed during the measurement period following the acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed results for the consolidated statement of operations from continued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2012 are as follows:

Reverse Stock Split
On January 7, 2014, the holders of more than 50 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock voted in favor of a corporate resolution authorizing the reverse split of its common stock (“Reverse Split”) on the basis of one share of common stock for up to each 200 shares of common stock outstanding, on the effective date of the Reverse Split. The Board of Directors shall determine the exact number of shares to be split and the timing of the Reverse Split, in its sole discretion. The Reverse Split may be declared as effective by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time before June 30, 2014, subject to FINRA and other regulatory approvals. This split has not been reflected in the share amounts presented throughout this document.
