NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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 incorporates advanced wireless technology, creative concepts, and ease of management.  All 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 approximately $590,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $2,365,000, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $974,000 at March 31, 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.

On January 7, 2014, 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”). The Company believes the merger with U-Vend 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 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 balance sheets and related 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s 10-K annual report filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014.
 
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 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 Internet Media Services, Inc. and the operations of 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 $2,000 as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2014 reflects the fair market value of the operating agreement with Mini Melts USA acquired in the merger of UVend on January 7, 2014 and is amortized 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 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. The convertible notes payable are measured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on March 31, 2014, since the underlying shares are trading in an active, observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a Level 1 input. 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.  The Company operates 48 electronic kiosks in the greater Chicago, Illinois region and markets products supplied by its co-branding partners. Revenue is recognized at the time each vend 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 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. Since the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10Q is subsequent to this effective date, we have prepared the financial and 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.

Common Shares Issued and Earnings Per Common 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 March 31, 2014, there were approximately 35.4 million (8,021,354 at December 31, 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 quarter.

Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates 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 as of March 31, 2014 to accommodate the exercise of all outstanding convertible instruments 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 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. 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).” 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 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 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 and 2,308,480 warrants to financial advisors 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 $287,000 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 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.
 
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 concentrations; 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.

Purchase Price - The consideration for the U-Vend merger consisted of 3,500,000 shares of IMS common stock valued at $490,000 plus $246,568 of estimated contingent consideration of described below.  The shares of IMS 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 IMS consolidated gross revenue during the calendar year 2014 exceeds $1,000,000 then IMS shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope, allocated to them on an equal basis and no other U-Vend shareholders, an additional 2,261,425 shares of IMS common stock.  In addition, in the event that IMS consolidated gross revenue exceeds $2,000,000 during the calendar year 2015, IMS shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope, allocated to them on an equal basis and no other U-Vend shareholders, an additional 2,261,425, shares of IMS 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.  In the event that IMS 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 IMS shall issue to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope and no other U-Vend shareholders allocated to them on an equal basis, additional shares of IMS 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 IMS 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 by IMS, 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 March 31, 2014 the balance sheet reflects a liability estimated at $212,048 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, 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 IMS common stock issued to the former shareholders of U-Vend 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 U-Vend 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 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.

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") 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 were dependent on several conditions including the Company's merger with U-Vend, 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).
 
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued three senior convertible notes ("Senior Convertible Notes") to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 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 debt issued during the first quarter of 2014 can be converted into 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 notes issued in the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued the Investor 3 million Series A warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and 3 million Series B warrants with an exercise price of $0.06 per share in connection with this debt under previously described terms. 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 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 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 March 31, 2014, the Company has not accrued any amount for potential registration rights penalties.

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 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.
 
The Company allocated the $100,000 of proceeds received in the first quarter of 2014 based on the computed fair values of the Senior Convertible Note and Warrants issued. The Company valued the Warrants at fair value of $92,261 after reflecting additional debt discount and warrant liability. Accordingly, the resulting fair value allocated to the debt component of $7,739 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 $7,739 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 $100,000 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 of the notes issued in the first quarter of 2014 was $0 after the debt discounts.

As of March 31, 2014, total outstanding Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $300,000 net of unamortized debt discounts of $175,001, resulting in a carrying amount of $124,999. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, $68,750 of discount has been amortized and recorded as interest expense.

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 $275,179 as of March 31, 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 of $13,000 were paid or payable to third parties associated with the first quarter 2014 notes and are included in deferred financing costs on the balance sheet at March 31, 2014.  These costs are amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the respective Senior Convertible Note. Amortization of financing costs in the first quarter of 2014 was $9,125.

Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 in principal at a conversion price of $0.05 pursuant to the SPA and issued the Investor 1,500,000 Series A warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and 1,500,000 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $0.06 per share under previously described terms.

NOTE 4. PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE and CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Promissory and Convertible Notes Payable– Director
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $121,070 convertible and promissory notes outstanding payable to a director of the Company.

In connection with the merger with U-Vend (see note 2) the Company acquired a convertible note payable with a face amount of $50,000 that is payable to this director. This convertible note payable bears interest at 18% and is due and payable in December 2014.  Interest is payable quarterly in cash or if paid in common stock is measured on the day prior to the payment date measured by the 5 day volume weighted adjusted market price of the Company’s shares. The principal is convertible into common shares of the Company using a fixed conversion price of $0.24 per share. The Company issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 208,333 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.24 per share in connection with this debt. This convertible note had a carrying value of $33,151 at March 31, 2014 reflecting an unamortized discount of $16,849.  Amortization of $8,150 is reflected in the results of operations for the first quarter of 2014. The remaining discount will be amortized through December 2014, the maturity date of the debt.

On February 26, 2014, the Company issued another $50,000 convertible note to this director. This convertible note bears interest at 18% and is due and payable in February 2015. The Company issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 208,333 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.24 per share in connection with this debt. The warrants expire three years from the date of issuance and were determined to be detachable instruments and as such were separately recorded as a discount to the convertible note. The carrying value of this note at March 31, 2014 was $37,859.

On August 29, 2013, the Company borrowed $50,000 pursuant to a promissory note with a director of the Company. The note matures one year from the date of issuance and bears interest at 8% per annum.

Promissory Notes Payable
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued 2 promissory notes to former shareholders and current employees of IMS.  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 March 31, 2014 was $55,770.

Convertible Notes Payable
The Company acquired two other convertible notes in connection with the U-Vend merger on January 7, 2014. These convertible notes have a face value of $125,000 and a carrying value of $135,221.  Debt discount on these notes at March 31, 2014 was $13,217 which will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the notes which ranges from July to September 2014.

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.  In 2013, 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. 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. In the fourth quarter of 2013, U-Vend leased equipment for $196,230 pursuant to financing by the Lessor. As per the terms of the agreement with the Lessor, the Company and IMS are obligated to pay annual lease payments as summarized below and also buy the equipment from the Lessor at the lease maturity in 2016. Accordingly, the lease has been treated as a capital lease.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company assumed additional lease obligations for capitalized lease equipment of $98,707 and issued 246,563 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 and expire three years from the date of issuance. As a result of this financing U-Vend placed 15 additional kiosks into service during the second quarter of 2014.

The fair value of warrants issued in 2014 have 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 quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 2,308,480 warrants to certain advisors in connection with professional services provided in connection with the merger with U-Vend that was completed on January 7, 2014.  These warrants had an estimated fair market value of $23,000 on the date of issue determined based upon a total enterprise value of the Company at the time of the transaction.

Also during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 6 million warrants to the Senior Convertible Notes holder (see Note 3) and 246,563 warrants to the Lessor providing an equipment lease financing line jointly to U-Vend and the Company. The warrants issued in connection with the convertible debt had an estimated at a fair market value of $101,546 as of March 31,2014.  The warrants granted in connection with the first quarter lease financing agreement had a fair market value of $2,467 as of March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2014 the Company had 14,589,626 warrant securities outstanding as summarized below.

NOTE 8. 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 statements of operations and statements of cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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 “IMS.”  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 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 approximately $590,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $2,365,000, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $974,000 at March 31, 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.

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 Canada, Inc (“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 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 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.  

Revenue
The Company earned $33,628 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and had no revenue in the comparable period in 2013. With the merger with U-Vend on January 7, 2014, the Company gained 33 electronic kiosk in the greater Chicago, IL area generating sales for products supplied by our co-branding partners.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company signed 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 the fourth quarter of 2013, U-Vend installed 30 Mini Melts self-serve kiosks in 27 Walmart stores and entertainment centers throughout the Chicago area.  An additional 15 installations were completed in March 2014.  The Company has additional installations planned for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014.

Cost of revenue and Gross Profit
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company incurred direct product costs including material, freight, delivery, host location fees, depreciation and amortization of the acquired operating agreement of $41,710 for unit sales.  The Company realized a gross loss of $8,082 reflecting a margin of (24%). There were no sales, cost of revenue or gross profits in the first quarter of 2013.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for continuing operations were $496,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $75,876 in the prior year.  This reflects an increase in selling costs of $63,232 and an increase of general and administrative costs of $357,809 since the first quarter of 2013. Selling expenses include approximately $49,000 in salaries and commissions and $7,000 in travel and entertainment expenses that are directly related to the development of revenue growth and host location relationships and approximately $7,000 in office and selling support costs. General and administrative expenses include approximately $244,000 in non-cash expenses associated with common stock issued for services in connection with the merger with UVend. General and administrative expenses also include $118,000 in professional, consulting and advisory fees, $24,000 in salaries and benefits, and $28,000 of office, rent, insurance and supplies expense.

As the Company transitioned from the disposal of the LegalStore.com in the first quarter of 2013, management 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 $142,390 remained unpaid at March 31, 2014.

Other Expenses
Total other expenses for continuing operations were $85,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $10,562 in the first quarter of 2013. 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 first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized a gain on the fair market value of warrant liabilities in the amount of $38,687.

During the first quarter of 2014 the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $94,654, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $9,125 in connection with debt acquired in the U-Vend merger and the senior convertible debt agreement.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $20,285 compared to $10,562 in first quarter of 2013.  The increase in interest expense in 2014 is associated with the borrowings under the senior convertible debt, convertible debt acquired from U-Vend, new promissory agreements entered into in the first quarter and interest in connection with lease obligations.
 
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.  .

Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $526,951 to $590,376 compared to a net loss of $63,425 incurred the first quarter of 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $974,000 compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $131,000 at March 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 of $175,000, debt acquired in the merger with U-Vend, and lease obligations entered into for revenue producing equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our operating activities from continuing operations used cash of approximately $153,000 compared to approximately $43,000 used during the first quarter of 2013.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $225,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $73,000 of cash. The principal component of these working capital changes was an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $80,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $38,000 of cash.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we received $87,000 proceeds from senior convertible notes net of financing costs and $50,000 in proceeds from a convertible note payable from a related party. The Company also received $13,600 in cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of common stock warrants during the three months ended March 31, 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 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 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 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. The convertible notes payable are measured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on March 31, 2014, since the underlying shares are trading in an active, observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a Level 1 input. 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
 
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 also acting as chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, also acting as chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of such date, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
