U-VEND, INC.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Overview
With the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. on January 7, 2014 the Company entered the business of developing, marketing and distributing various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. The Company seeks to place its kiosks in high-traffic host locations such as big box stores, restaurants, malls, airports, casinos, universities, and colleges. Currently, the Company leases, 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’s “next-generation” vending kiosks incorporate advanced wireless technology, creative concepts, and ease of management. Our kiosks have been designed to be tech-savvy and can be managed on line 24 hours a day/7 days a week, accepting traditional cash input as well as credit and debit cards. Host locations and suppliers have been drawn to this distribution concept of product vending based on the advantages of reduced labor and lower product theft as compared to non-kiosk merchandising platforms.
The Company has developed solutions for the marketing of products through a variety of kiosk offerings. These offerings include kiosks oriented for product recycling, solar powered waste bins, cell phone charging kiosks, and mall and airport islands. This solutions approach has the ability to add digital LCD monitors to most makes and models of their kiosk program. This allows the digital advertising as a national and/or local loop basis and a corresponding additional revenue stream for the Company. The product solution approach includes the offering of a Mall and Airport Multipurpose Island, taking several of the self-serve kiosks and then bundled them into an "island", all in one central location, creating a destination concept within a mall and/or airport setting. The island would be partnered with a co-branding anchor as part of the overall concept.
Management's Plans - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company incurred a loss of $1,451,611 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling $3,225,873, and has a working capital deficit of $1,107,332 at September 30, 2014. 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 these uncertainties.
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 that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.
On January 7, 2014, U-Vend, Inc. (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc. (“IMS”)) entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc (“U-Vend Canada”). The Company believes the merger with U-Vend Canada will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital. The Company is in discussion to raise 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, Inc. 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.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s 10-K annual report filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014.
6
The preparation of 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U-Vend, Inc. (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc.), and the operations of U-Vend America, Inc., U-Vend Canada, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, U-Vend USA LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Inventory - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and cost is determined by the average cost method. Inventory is made up of finished goods ice cream. The Company records inventory reserves for spoilage and product losses. The reserve for spoilage and product losses amounted to approximately $3,600 as of September 30, 2014.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Electronic kiosks and related equipment have estimated useful lives between five and seven years.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair market value of the net assets acquired from the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. on January 7, 2014. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing to determine whether there has been any impairment to the value of the goodwill or the intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized. Net intangible assets at September 30, 2014 reflect the fair market value of the operating agreement with Mini Melts USA acquired in the merger of U-Vend Canada on January 7, 2014 and is amortized in selling expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations over its estimated useful life of five years. (See Note 2.)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments- Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, promissory notes payable, capital lease obligation, contingent consideration liability, 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, contingent consideration liability, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature or they are payable on demand. The senior convertible notes and the convertible notes payable are recorded at face amount, net of any unamortized discounts. The determination of the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities and contingent consideration liability include unobservable inputs and is therefore categorized as a Level 3 measurement.
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.
|
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized from distributing co-branded self-serve products from the Company’s electronic kiosks. As of September 30, 2014 the Company operates 78 electronic kiosks and 2 Grab N Go freezers in the greater Chicago, Illinois region and markets products supplied by its co-branding partners. Revenue is recognized at the time each vending transaction occurs, the payment method is approved and the product is disbursed from the machine.
1 for 200 Stock Split and Change in trading symbol effective May 16, 2014 - On January 7, 2014, the holders of a majority 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 each 200 shares of common stock. On April 10, 2014 our Board of Directors approved the one for 200 reverse stock split, the change of our corporate name to U-Vend, Inc. and the new trading symbol of UVND. We received the authorization from FINRA to effect these events as of May 16, 2014. We have prepared the financial, share and per share information included in this quarterly report on a post-split basis. There were no changes to the authorized amount of shares or par value as a result of this reverse split.
7
Common Shares Issued and Earnings Per Share - 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.
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.
As of September 30, 2014, there were approximately 40.9 million (2,325,000 at September 30, 2013) shares potentially issuable under convertible debt agreements, options, warrants and contingent shares 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 periods presented.
Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants issued by the Company have a “down round provision” and 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 Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
Reclassifications - Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
Accounting Pronouncement - In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, ”Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity will be required to provide certain disclosures if conditions of events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined when to adopt the new standard.
NOTE 2. MERGER WITH U-VEND CANADA, INC.
On January 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc. (“U-Vend Canada”). Pursuant to the agreement, which was amended on April 30, 2014 effective as of January 7, 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of U-Vend Canada in exchange for 3,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Certain shareholders of U-Vend Canada will also have the ability to earn up to an additional 4,522,850 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to certain earn-out provisions based on targeted revenue achievement in 2014 and 2015. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,354,111 shares of Common Stock as compensation for their services in connection with the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement. The Company issued 389,520 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer in connection with the merger agreement. The Company incurred approximately $264,000 in broker, advisory and professional fees associated with the merger.
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 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, among other factors.
Based on the aforementioned and after taking in consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances, management came to the conclusion that U-Vend, Inc. (formerly 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 and the assets and liabilities of U-Vend Canada 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.
U-Vend Canada 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 Canada has four market concentrations; Environmental, Retail, Service and Mall/Airport Islands with a primary focus on Environmental and Retail. U-Vend Canada 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.

Purchase Price - The consideration for the merger consisted of 3,500,000 shares of U-Vend, Inc. common stock valued at $490,000 plus $246,568 of estimated contingent consideration which amounts were reduced for a discount on restrictions as described below. The shares of U-Vend, Inc. common stock were valued at $0.14 per share which represents the split adjusted market price of the shares on January 6, 2014.
Contingent Consideration - The Agreement allows for an earn-out based on 2014 and 2015 gross revenue targets. In the event that consolidated gross revenue during the calendar year 2014 exceeds $1,000,000 then the Company shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope, allocated to them on an equal basis and no other U-Vend Canada shareholders, an additional 2,261,425 shares of common stock. In addition, in the event that consolidated gross revenue exceeds $2,000,000 during the calendar year 2015, the Company shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope, allocated to them on an equal basis and no other U-Vend Canada shareholders, an additional 2,261,425 shares of common stock. These conditional shares are issued solely to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope in order to restore their ownership of the total shares issued for consideration to their approximate pre-merger ownership in U-Vend Canada. In the event that consolidated gross revenue equals not less than 80% nor more than 99% of the $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 gross amounts described above, then the Company shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope and no other U-Vend Canada shareholders, allocated to them on an equal basis, additional shares of common stock computed by determining the percentage of gross revenue achieved relative to the target revenues described above. Any shortfall or overage of shares measured in 2014 can be combined to the actual revenue earned in 2015 to earn the maximum shares in the earn-out provision. The issuance of the earn-out shares is conditional on U-Vend, Inc. providing access to a minimum level of financing needed to achieve the earn-out gross revenues. In the event that the gross revenue targets are not obtained and the minimum level of financing was not provided during the respective period, then at the end of each period Paul Neelin and Diane Hope shall receive the additional shares described above. At the time of the merger management estimated the probability of meeting these earn-out targets. At September 30, 2014 the consolidated balance sheet reflects a liability estimated at $207,833 in regard to this contingent consideration.
Allocation of Purchase Price - The purchase price was determined in accordance with the accounting treatment of the merger as a business combination in accordance with the Business Combination Topic of the FASB ASC 805. Under the guidance, the fair value of the consideration was determined and the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, U-Vend Canada, have been recorded at their fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values has been recorded as goodwill.
The fair value of the common stock issued to the former shareholders of U-Vend Canada is based on the adjusted split price of $0.14 share price of the IMS common stock as of the close of business on January 6, 2014. The contingent consideration represented by the earn-out shares were also measured using a split adjusted price of $0.14 per share, discounted for the probability that the shares will be issued in the future upon achievement of the revenue targets defined.

The allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as the date of the acquisition is presented in the table below. This allocation is based upon valuations using management’s estimates and assumptions. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company estimated the valuation of identifiable intangible assets that resulted from the merger. The Company allocated $434,000 of the purchase price to intangible assets relating to the operating agreement with Mini Melts USA, which management estimates has a life of five years. Amortization expense is estimated to be $86,800 in 2014 and in each of the succeeding years until fully amortized in 2019. The Company recognized a deferred tax liability resulting from the increase in book basis of the U-Vend Canada tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, which did not result in an increase in basis for tax purposes was calculated using a 38% effective tax rate. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of U-Vend Canada.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and could change during the measurement period (not to exceed one year) if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the closing date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of additional or changes to the value of the assets and liabilities presented in the purchase price allocation. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

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” or "Cobrador") pursuant to which Cobrador will provide an aggregate of $400,000 financing through senior convertible notes and warrants. The financing and the related terms were dependent on several conditions including the Company's merger with U-Vend Canada, which was completed on January 7, 2014, and the Company effecting certain changes in its capital structure (see Note 1 regarding 1 for 200 reverse stock split).
As of September 30, 2014, total outstanding Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $370,000 and is presented net of unamortized debt discounts of $140,879, resulting in a carrying amount of $229,121. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $106,086 and $275,505 was amortized and recorded as amortization expense from debt discount. There were no new borrowings under this agreement in the third quarter of 2014.
On June 17, 2014 the Company and Cobrador entered into an agreement to extend the maturity of certain of the notes issued in 2013. Accordingly, Cobrador consented to the extension of the maturity dates of the notes dated June 18, 2013 and August 21, 2013 to December 26, 2014. Also, during the second quarter of 2014, certain of the terms of certain of the Cobrador notes were modified. The notes issued on June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013 each of which had a conversion price of $0.20 per share and were convertible into 750,000 shares of common stock were amended and reissued as notes convertible into 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to an adjustment with a minimum adjusted conversion price of $0.03 per share. In connection with the reissued notes, the Company amended the warrants that had been granted in connection with the originally issued note agreements dated June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013. Series A warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.20 per share and Series B warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.24 per shares were amended and reissued. The 4.5 million reissued Series A warrants have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and the 4.5 million reissued Series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.06 per share. For all 2013 and 2014 Cobrador notes the Series A warrants were amended to increase the term from 15 months to 24 months. The Series B term remained at 5 years. The amendment and reissuance of the three notes and warrants has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the original notes and warrants and the reissuance of the replacement notes and warrants.
The Company and the Investor have entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Notes and the Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 120 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend Canada 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. The terms of this registration rights agreement do not limit the maximum potential consideration (including shares) to be transferred. Management believes it is not probable they will incur a penalty for failure to file the registration statement and for it to become effective, therefore as of September 30, 2014, the Company has not accrued any amount for potential registration rights penalties.
10
The debt 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 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 lender from converting notes payable into common stock after selling shares owned into the market.
The Warrants issued have a “down round provision” and as a result, warrants issued in connection with the senior convertible notes 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 all outstanding warrants issued in connection with this SPA aggregate $463,848 as of September 30, 2014. 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 the Monte Carlo modeling valuations using volatility assumptions. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
Financing costs associated with the Senior Secured Convertible Note and $50,000 of the Subordinated Convertible Note payable (see Note 4) are included in deferred financing costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective notes. Amortization of financing costs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $14,719 and $36,244, respectively.
NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE
Promissory and Convertible Notes Payable– Director
During the third quarter of 2014, the director exercised his rights to convert the principal on two convertible notes with a combined principal balance of $100,000 in to 416,666 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the remaining unamortized debt discount was expensed and is included within the loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The director also agreed to accept 208,340 shares of the Company’s common stock and 312,500 common stock warrants in exchange for full payment of $50,000 of outstanding principal on a promissory note which was due and payable in August of 2014. As of September 30, 2014 all principal on notes to this director had been satisfied.
Convertible Notes Payable
During the third quarter of 2014, the Company issued two subordinated convertible promissory notes: $75,000 with an interest rate of 10% is due and payable on August 25, 2015 and $50,000 with an interest rate of 10% is due and payable on August 13, 2015. The principal on these notes is convertible into common shares at the rate of $0.30 per share. In connection with these borrowings the Company granted a total of 208,334 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and 5 year terms. The Company allocated $46,095 of the proceeds received to debt discount based on the computed fair value of the notes and the warrants issued. The warrants issued have a “down round provision” and as a result, are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes and valued at $4,048, reflecting debt discount and warrant liability. The resulting fair value allocated to the debt components of $120,952 was used to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of the subordinated convertible notes. This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $42,047 recorded to additional paid in capital. Amortization on debt discount of $11,499 was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The carrying value of these subordinated convertible notes was $90,504 as if September 30, 2014.
The debt conversion price on the subordinated convertible notes issued in the third quarter of 2014 are 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 lenders agreed to restrict their ability to convert the subordinated convertible note and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by the lenders 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 lenders from converting notes payable into common stock after selling shares owned into the market. The Company has provided for piggy-back registration rights on any registration statement covering 110% of the maximum number of shares underlying these notes and warrants.
The Company acquired two convertible notes in connection with the U-Vend Canada merger on January 7, 2014. As of September 30, 2014 these convertible notes have a carrying value of $112,500. These convertible promissory notes reached maturity on July 26, 2014 and September 14, 2014. The note holders have the option of debt conversion at 80% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of maturity, conversion at $1.00 per share or cash repayment. The note holders are currently evaluating these options, as defined in the debt agreement, including extension of the debt maturity date.
Promissory Notes Payable
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company issued a $10,000 promissory note due and payable on November 30, 2014. In connection with this borrowing the Company granted 41,667 warrants with an exercise price of $0.24 per share and a 2 year term. The Company valued the Warrants at fair value of $1,970 after reflecting a debt discount on the promissory note. The carrying value of this note at September 30, 2014 was $9,344.
11
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued two promissory notes to former shareholders of U-Vend Canada and current employees the Company. The original amount of the Neelin note was $47,295 and has a term of 5 years and accrues interest at 20% per annum. The original amount of the Young note was $10,512 has a term of 3 years and accrues interest at 17% per annum. The total debt outstanding on these promissory notes at September 30, 2014 was $55,053.
NOTE 5. CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In connection with the merger on January 7, 2014, the Company acquired the capital assets and outstanding lease obligations of U-Vend Canada. In 2013, the Company and U-Vend Canada 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. All amounts borrowed under the lease financing agreement are secured by the leased equipment. The Company will use this financing to acquire certain equipment to be used in direct income producing activities. Since the inception of this lease financing agreement, the Company has acquired leased equipment for $465,500 pursuant to financing by the Lessor. As per the terms of the agreement with the Lessor, the Company is obligated to pay annual lease payments as summarized below and also buy the equipment from the Lessor at the lease maturity in 2017. Accordingly, the lease has been treated as a capital lease.
The following schedule provides minimum future rental payments required as of September 30, 2014, under capital leases which have a remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year:

The fair value of warrants outstanding at September 30, 2014 has been 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 Monte Carlo simulation using multiple volatility assumptions. 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. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
During the third quarter of 2014, 400,000 common stock warrants were exercised at $0.12 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $48,000 to the Company. Also during the third quarter of 2014, the Company granted 350,000 common stock options to an officer. As of September 30, 2014, 250,000 of these options were vested. As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to this option grant amounted to $29,571 and will be recognized over the next 20 months.
At September 30, 2014 the Company had 28,092,455 warrant securities outstanding as summarized below.

The fair value of warrants outstanding at September 30, 2014 has been 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 Monte Carlo simulation using multiple volatility assumptions. 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. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
NOTE 9. 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 in 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, the related assets and liabilities were considered to be held for sale and were presented as discontinued operations on the balance sheets as December 31, 2012. In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” the Company presented the results of LegalStore.com operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Senior Convertible Notes
On November 4, 2014, the Company borrowed $20,000 in principal under the SPA dated June 18, 2013 with Cobrador Multi-Strategy Partners, LP as described in Note 3. The senior convertible note bears interest at 7% per year and has a one year term. This principal is convertible into 400,000 common shares at a conversion rate of $0.05 per share. The Company issued 600,000 Series A warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and a two year term from the date of the debt issuance and 600,000 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $0.06 per share and a five year term under previously described terms.
Convertible Note and Warrants
On October 30, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible note of $10,000 due and payable on October, 2015. The principal on this note is convertible into common shares at the rate of $0.30 per share. In connection with this borrowing the Company granted 16,667 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share, a 5 year term, and a "down round provision". The debt conversion price on the subordinated convertible note 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 their ability to convert the subordinated 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 lender from converting notes payable into common stock after selling shares owned into the market. The Company has provided for piggy-back registration rights on any registration statement covering 110% of the maximum number of shares underlying these notes and warrants.
Lease Obligation
In connection with the Company’s expansion into the Southern California region, on October 23, 2014 the Company entered into a twenty four month equipment lease agreement with Perkin Industries, LLC (“the lessor”) for equipment and working capital assets worth approximately $250,000. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company installed the leased equipment, consisting of self-service revenue kiosk and freezers in service in the Company’s Southern California region. As per the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $3,125 per month for the term of the agreement representing interest only at the rate of 15% per annum.
The agreement includes a put/call option that allows the lessor, at the end of the first year, to put fifty percent of leased equipment back to the Company for a payment of $125,000. The Company has the option to call fifty percent of the equipment from the lessor for purchase at the end of the first year for $125,000. Further, if the first year put or call is exercised, the monthly interest-only payment shall be reduced by fifty percent. At the end of year two, the lessor shall have the option to put and the Company shall have the option to call the remaining fifty percent of the obligation in the amount of $125,000. If the first year put/ call options have not been exercised, the lessor shall be permitted to put one hundred percent and the Company shall be permitted to call one hundred percent of the equipment back to the Company for the purchase of $250,000.
The lessor received a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a term of three years in connection with this lease obligation. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the lease agreement on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “1995 Reform Act”). U-Vend, Inc. (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc.) desires to avail itself of certain “safe harbor” provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this special note to enable us to do so. Except for the historical information contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements (identified by the words "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend," "believe," "hope," "strategy" and similar expressions), which are based on our current expectations and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report, and those described herein that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements, and the following:
●
|
Our limited operating history with our business model.
|
●
|
The low cash balance and limited financing currently available to us. We may in the near future have a number of obligations that we will be unable to meet without generating additional income or raising additional capital.
|
●
|
Our limited cash resources may not be sufficient to fund continuing losses from operations
|
●
|
Our ability to effect a financing transaction to fund our operations which could adversely affect the value of our stock.
|
●
|
The failure of our products and services to achieve market acceptance.
|
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes that appear elsewhere in this report.
General
We were incorporated in March 2007 as a Delaware corporation and refer to ourselves herein as “we”, “us”, the “Company” or “U-Vend, Inc.” 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.u-vend.com. Information contained on our websites is not a part of this quarterly report.
Management's Plans - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company incurred a loss of $1,451,611 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling $3,225,873, and has a working capital deficit of $1,107,332 at September 30, 2014. 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 these uncertainties.
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. The Company estimates that cash needs to support general and administrative efforts is approximately $50,000 per month.
On January 7, 2014, U-Vend, Inc. (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc.) entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc (“U-Vend Canada”). The Company believes the merger with U-Vend Canada will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital. The Company is in discussion to raise 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 Canada 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013
On January 7, 2014 the Company acquired the operations of U-Vend Canada, Inc. and management believes this merger will provide it with business operations and also working capital. The Company is in discussions for raising additional capital to execute its current business plans. Prior to the January 7, 2014 merger, the Company was considered a shell company without an active business operations subsequent to the disposition of Legalstore.com as described in Note 9 to the financial statements.
16
Revenue
The Company earned $182,166 in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and had no revenue from continuing operations in the comparable period in 2013. With the acquisition of U-Vend on January 7, 2014, the Company acquired an Operator Agreement with Mini Melts USA offering Mini Melts ice-cream products through the Company’s electronic kiosks. The agreement allows the Company to place these kiosks in high volume big box stores, sporting facilities and shopping malls though out the Chicago area. During 2014, the Company added 37 electronic kiosks in the greater Chicago, IL area generating sales for products supplied by our co-branding partners. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 78 electronic kiosks and 2 Grab N Go freezers in operation in the Chicago, IL area. The Company believes that the Mini Melts ice-cream revenues have a seasonality that is benefitted by warm weather during the summer months. The Company does not have adequate historical experience to estimate the impact of this seasonality. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company expanded its operations to the Southern California region with the installation of 30 electronic kiosks. Management believes this region will alleviate some of the seasonality of revenues described above.
Cost of revenue and Gross Profit
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company incurred direct product costs including material, freight, delivery, and depreciation of $104,855. The Company realized a gross profit of $77,311 reflecting a margin of 42% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. There were no sales, cost of revenue or gross profits from continuing operations in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for continuing operations were approximately $1,140,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately $252,000 in the prior year nine month period. This reflects an increase in total selling, general and administrative costs of approximately $888,000 compared to the nine month period in 2013. The operating expenses incurred in 2014 reflect management’s investment in the acquisition and development of the electronic kiosk market and expects operating expenses will continue to increase as the business expands its geographic markets and product offerings in future quarters.
Selling expenses of approximately $304,000 include approximately $121,000 in salaries and commissions and approximately $41,000 in travel and entertainment expenses that are directly related to the development of revenue growth and host location relationships. Selling expenses also include $65,000 in non-cash amortization expense related to the MiniMelt Operating Agreement acquired with the merger in January 2014. Host commission fees and service bureau fees payable to third parties totaled $55,000 and office support costs were approximately $22,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.
General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $836,000 for the nine month ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash expenses of $359,000 are included in general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 relate to common shares and warrants granted for services and for employee option expenses reflecting vesting of previously granted employee stock options. General and administrative expenses for the nine month ended September 30, 2014 also include $259,000 in professional, consulting and advisory fees, $96,000 in salaries and benefits, and $122,000 of office, rent, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other expenses include: interest and amortization incurred on the debt obligations of the Company, changes to fair market value of warrant liabilities that include “down round” provisions, and other non-operating items. Net other expenses for continuing operations were approximately $414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
The Company evaluates 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” 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss on the fair market value of warrant liabilities in the amount of approximately $81,000.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $336,089, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $36,244 in connection with debt obligations, including debt acquired in the merger and the senior convertible debt agreement.
The Company recognized gains of $114,266 on extinguishment of certain debt instruments in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. A gain of $121,898 was recognized in the second quarter of 2014, resulting from modification to certain of the terms of certain of the Cobrador notes. The notes that had terms modified were issued on June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013 each of which had a conversion price of $0.20 per share and were convertible into 750,000 shares of common stock on date of issuance were amended and reissued as notes convertible into 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to an adjustment with a minimum adjusted conversion price of $0.03 per share. In connection with the reissued notes, the Company amended the warrants that had been granted in connection with the originally issued note agreements dated June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013. Series A warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.20 per share and Series B warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.24 per shares were amended and reissued. The 4.5 million reissued Series A warrants have and exercise price of $0.05 per share and the 4.5 million reissued Series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.06 per share. For all 2013 and 2014 Cobrador notes the Series A warrants were amended to increase the term from 15 months to 24 months. The Series B term remained at 5 years. The amendment and reissuance of the three notes and warrants has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the original notes and warrants and the reissuance of the replacement notes and warrants. The Company recognized a gain of $23,438 upon maturity of two convertible notes in the third quarter when it was determined that the conversion feature would not be acted upon by the debt owners. The gain results from the adjustment of the carrying value to face value upon the maturity date.
17
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $110,000 compared to approximately $29,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in 2014 is associated with the borrowings under the senior convertible debt, convertible debt acquired from U-Vend Canada, new convertible and promissory agreements and lease obligations entered into in 2014.
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 gain on the sale of LegalStore.com.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by approximately $1,175,000 to approximately $1,452,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $277,000 incurred the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013
Revenue
The Company earned approximately $87,000 in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and had no revenue from continuing operations in the comparable period in 2013. With the merger with U-Vend Canada on January 7, 2014, the Company acquired 33 electronic kiosks generating sales for products supplied by our co-branding partners and now operates 78 electronic kiosks and 2 Grab N Go freezers in the greater Chicago, IL area.
Cost of revenue and Gross Profit
During the three months ended September 30, 2014 the Company incurred direct product costs including material, freight, delivery, and depreciation of approximately $51,000. The Company realized a gross profit of approximately $36,000 reflecting a margin of 41%. There were no sales, cost of revenue or gross profits from continuing operations in the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for continuing operations were approximately $388,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately $73,000 in the prior year.
Selling expenses of approximately $114,000 include approximately $40,000 in salaries and commissions and approximately $16,000 in travel and entertainment expenses that are directly related to the development of revenue growth and host location relationships. Selling expenses also include $22,000 in non-cash amortization expense related to the MiniMelt Operating Agreement acquired with the merger in January 2014. Commission fees and service bureau fees payable to third parties totaled $28,000 and other miscellaneous costs of $8,000 were incurred in the third quarter of 2014.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $274,000 for the three month ended September 30, 2014 and include $90,000 for non-cash expenses for employee option expense vesting of grants and common shares issued for services during the period. General and administrative expenses for the three month ended September 30, 2014 also include $94,000 in professional, consulting and advisory fees, $36,000 in salaries and benefits, and $54,000 of office, rent, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Total other costs from continuing operations reflect income of approximately $42,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to and net expense of approximately $28,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2013. During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized income from the change in the fair market value of warrant liabilities in the amount of approximately $196,000. The Company evaluates 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” 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.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2014 the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of approximately $123,000 and amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $14,000 in connection with debt obligations, including debt acquired in the merger and the senior convertible debt agreement.
18
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $46,000 compared to approximately $9,000 in comparable period in 2013. The increase in interest expense in 2014 is associated with the borrowings under the senior convertible debt, convertible debt acquired from U-Vend Canada, new convertible and promissory agreements entered and lease obligations entered into in 2014.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by approximately $185,000 to $286,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $101,000 incurred the three month period ended September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,107,000 compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $131,000 at December 31, 2013. The increase in the working capital deficiency is due to borrowings under the SPA of senior convertible notes recorded net of unamortized discounts, new promissory and subordinated convertible notes, debt acquired in the merger with U-Vend Canada, and lease obligations entered into for revenue producing equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our operating activities from continuing operations used cash of approximately $342,000 compared to approximately $124,000 used during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $609,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $267,000 of cash. The principal component of these working capital changes was an increase in our accounts payable, accrued expenses and amounts due to officers. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $240,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $139,000 of cash. The Company estimates that cash needs to support general and administrative efforts is approximately $50,000 per month.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received $121,344 in proceeds from senior convertible notes net of financing costs, $115,082 in proceeds from subordinated convertible notes net of financing costs, $10,000 from a promissory note used to satisfy operating costs and $50,000 in proceeds from a convertible note payable from a director. The Company also received $71,660 in cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of common stock warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
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.
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 statements 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 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, promissory notes payable, capital lease obligation, contingent consideration liability, 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, contingent consideration liability, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature or they are payable on demand. The senior convertible notes and the convertible notes payable are recorded at face amount, net of any unamortized discounts. The determination of the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities and contingent consideration liability include unobservable inputs and is therefore categorized as a Level 3 measurement.
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.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure 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 and 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 and 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 quarterly report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 exist in our internal control over financial reporting based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. On June 1, 2014, we hired the consultant we previously utilized as a full time Chief Financial Officer.
