U-VEND, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company entered the business of developing, marketing and distributing various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America with the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. on January 7, 2014. 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 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 takes a solutions development approach for the marketing of products through a variety of kiosk offerings.   Our approach to the market includes the addition of digital LCD monitors to most makes and models of their kiosk program. This would allow us to offer digital advertising as a national and/or local loop basis and a corresponding additional revenue stream for the Company.  

Management's plans
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $491,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $4,268,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $1,276,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $2,472,000 at March 31, 2015. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company needs to raise additional financing to fund the Company’s operations for year 2015, to allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.

As discussed in Note 2, on January 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend Canada, Inc. The Company believes the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital.  The Company is in discussion for raising additional capital to execute on its current business plans.  There is no assurance that future financing arrangements will be successful or that the operating results will yield sufficient cash flow to execute the Company’s business plans or satisfy its obligations.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
  
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed 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 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, 2014 included in the Company’s 10-K annual report filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015.

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 condensed 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 $7,500 as of March 31, 2015 and December 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. Depreciation expense amounted to $30,442 during the three month ended March 31, 2015 compared to $7,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 

Long lived assets, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill - Long lived assets, identifiable intangibles assets and goodwill are reviewed periodically for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that full recoverability of net asset balances through future cash flows is in question. With respect to goodwill, the Company tests for impairment on an annual basis or in interim periods if an event occurs or circumstances change that may indicate the fair value is below its carrying amount. Factors that could trigger an impairment review, include the following: (a) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (b) significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and (c) significant negative industry or economic trends.

Assessment for possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows. The expected future pre-tax cash flows are estimated based on historical experience, knowledge and market data. Estimates of future cash flows require the Company to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales, capital investments and expenses and estimating the useful lives of assets. If the expected future cash flows related to the long-lived assets are less than the assets’ carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.

When performing our evaluation of goodwill for impairment, if we conclude qualitatively that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is not required. If we are unable to reach this conclusion, then we would perform the two-step impairment test. Initially, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit; we are required to perform a second step, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. In this step, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill and recognize a charge for impairment to the extent the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.

There are inherent assumptions and estimates used in developing future cash flows requiring management judgment in applying these assumptions and estimates to the analysis of identifiable intangibles and asset impairment including projecting revenues, interest rates and the cost of capital. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside our control and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. These changes can result in future impairments. In the event our planning assumptions were modified resulting in impairment to our assets, the associated expense would be included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management's forecasts of future earnings are largely dependent on future cash infusion or incremental borrowing to fund our projected growth as well as current operations. If our business plans result in significant delays in implementation and sales of our products are not in alignment with our projections, a future impairment charge could result for a portion or all of the goodwill noted previously.  
 
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 period, 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, 2015, there were approximately 44.3 million (35.4 million at March 31, 2014) 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.

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. 

Preferred Stock Authorized - The Company has authorization for “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to common stock. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there are 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, and no shares issued or outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments- Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, promissory notes payable, capital lease obligation, contingent consideration liability, 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 value net of any unamortized discounts, based upon the number of underlying convertible shares. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on March 31, 2015 since the underlying shares are trading in an active observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a level 1 input. Certain convertible notes payable are recorded at fair value at March 31, 2015. (See Note 4).  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. Changes in unobservable inputs may result in significantly higher or lower fair value 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.

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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.

Share-Based Compensation Expense – The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Stock Compensation.”  This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. In accordance with FASB ASC 505 “Equity”, the measurement date for the non-forfeitable awards to nonemployees that vest immediately is the date the award is issued.

Revenue Recognition -   The Company has 118 electronic kiosks installed; 64 in the greater Chicago, Illinois area and 54 in the southern California area. The Company had no revenue in the southern California area during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenue is recognized at the time each vending transaction occurs, the payment method is approved and the product is disbursed from the machine.

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 Pronouncements – FASB ASU 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2014-12 requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition.

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 to the Chief Executive Officer and advisors 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. 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 self-serve electronic kiosks throughout North America. U-Vend Canada has several market concentrations; Retail, Service and Mall/Airport Islands with a primary focus on 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.  

Purchase Price - The consideration for the merger consisted of 3,500,000 shares of U-Vend, Inc. common stock valued at $490,000 plus estimated contingent consideration valued at $246,568 which were reduced for a discount on restrictions as described below and effective settlement of intercompany payable from U-Vend Canada, Inc. to U-Vend, Inc.  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.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s board of directors recommended that the first year earn-out of 2,261,425 shares of common stock be paid equally between Paul Neelin and Diane Hope as the Company did not receive the anticipated level of financing. Subsequent to March 31, 2015 the Company issued the 2,261,425 shares to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope. At March 31, 2015 the condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects a current liability estimated in the amount of $495,449 in regard to this contingent consideration.  At December 31, 2014, the condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects a total contingent consideration liability of $473,289.

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 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 Company's 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.  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 December 2018. The Company initially recognized a $164,920 deferred tax liability associated with the increase in book basis of the acquired tangible and intangible assets. During the final accounting for the merger, it was determined that the deferred tax liability reflecting the book and tax basis of the acquired assets would be $75,000. As a result the deferred tax liability and the related goodwill were adjusted by $89,920 during the measurement period. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of U-Vend Canada.

NOTE 3. SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") dated June 18, 2013 with Cobrador Multi-Strategy Partners, LP (“Investor” or "Cobrador") pursuant to Cobrador provided 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 March 31, 2015, total outstanding Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $372,500 and is presented net of unamortized debt discounts of $43,865, resulting in a carrying amount of $328,635. As of December 31, 2014, total outstanding Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $377,500 and are presented net of unamortized debt discounts of $58,486, resulting in a carrying value of $319,014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Cobrador converted $5,000 of outstanding principal at $0.05 per share into 100,000 common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company recorded $14,621 and $68,750, respectively as amortization of debt discount on the senior convertible notes. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in default of the agreement due to the failure to pay interest when due.  Cobrador has waived this default through June 30, 2015.

The Company and the Investor entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Notes and the Warrants. The Company was 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 failed 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. The Company met the filing and effectiveness criteria, (as extended by the Investor on April 8, 2014), on November 21, 2014 which resulted in a penalty of $14,234 which is reflected as a liability at March 31, 2015.  The Investor has extended the due day for this payment until June 30, 2015. The Company believes no additional liability will be incurred under this agreement as the underlying shares are now eligible for sale in accordance with Rule 144.

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 the outstanding warrants issued in connection with this SPA aggregate $285,537 as of March 31, 2015. 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 certain of the Subordinated Convertible Notes payable (see Note 4) are included in deferred financing costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective notes. Amortization of financing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $18,914 and $9,125, respectively.

The warrants issued in connection with these notes have a “down round provision” and as a result, are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes and the underlying warrants were valued at $1,441 reflecting debt discount and warrant liability.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, outstanding subordinated convertible notes had a face value of $216,000 and $146,000 and are presented net of unamortized debt discounts of $16,908 and $27,277, resulting in a carrying amount of $199,092 and $118,723, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company recorded $11,648 and $0, respectively, as amortization of debt discount on the subordinated convertible notes. The fair value of the warrant liability related to subordinated convertible notes was $3,975 as of March 31, 2015.

The debt conversion price on the subordinated convertible notes 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 subordinated convertible promissory notes are secured by substantially all assets of the Company with the exception of lease equipment obligations and is subordinate to indebtedness with institutions or non-commercial lenders.

KBM Worldwide, Inc. Securities Purchase Agreement
On December 30, 2014, the Company received net proceeds of $50,000 as a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement with KBM Worldwide Inc. (“KBM”) for the sale of a Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $54,000.  The principal advanced under the Note includes $4,000 in fees incurred by KBM related to the transaction. The KBM Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 19, 2014 (“the SPA”), bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.  In connection with the SPA the Company is required to reserve a sufficient number of shares of its common stock (“the Common Stock”) for issuance upon full conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof.  The initial amount of shares reserved in connection with the SPA and underlying Note was 2,500,000 shares.

The Note has a maturity date of September 23, 2015 and included a prepayment penalty ranging from 15-40% of the principal amount if the Note is repaid from 30 to 180 days following the issuance date of the Note.  KBM has the right to convert the principal amount of $54,000 after 180 days following the date of the Note and ending on the complete satisfaction by payment or conversion.  The conversion price for the Note shall be determined based on 58% of the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date of conversion.  KBM agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by KBM and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion exceeds 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. In the Event of Default the Note is immediately due and payable.  The minimum amount due under the default conditions is 150% times the principal and unpaid interest at the date of default.  The Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured (if curable), will result in a default interest rate of 22% per annum.  KBM may request the payment in shares.
 
Under FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company determined the Notes are liabilities reported at fair value because the Notes may be settled by conversion into a variable number of common shares at fixed monetary amount, known at inception. The Notes are to be subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value being recognized in earnings. The fair value of the Notes is measured by calculating possible outcomes of conversion to common shares and repayment of the Notes, then weighting the probability of each possible outcome according to management’s estimates. Management has determined that the most likely outcome will be conversion during the prepayment period and the fair value of the Notes is equal to the estimated fair value of equity securities the Company will issue upon conversion. The fair value measurement is classified as a Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.
 
On April 17, 2015, the Company prepaid and retired this note. The Note, as described above, included a prepayment option which resulted the Company incurring a 30% prepayment premium of the principal amount ($16,200).  In addition, the Company paid $1,278 in accrued interest.  No amounts remain outstanding and payable to the holder of the Note subsequent to this payment. No shares of the Company stock were issued to the Note holder.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $5,400 gain on fair value of debt based upon the repayment date to a total fair value of $70,200 in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2015.  The fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $75,600 at December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 these convertible notes have a carrying value of $98,604.  These convertible promissory notes reached maturity on July 26, 2014 and September 14, 2014.  The note holders have the option of debt conversion at the lesser of 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 continue to evaluate these options, as defined in the debt agreement, including extension of the debt maturity date. The fair value of the two convertible notes is measured by calculating possible outcomes of conversion to common shares and repayment of the Notes, then weighting the probability of each possible outcome according to management’s estimates.  The fair value measurement is classified as a Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on foreign currency related to the convertible notes and the underlying accrued interest of $16,779 and $0, respectively.

The fair value of warrants outstanding at March 31, 2015 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 first quarter of 2015, 125,000 common stock warrants were exercised at $0.12 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $15,000 to the Company.  Also during the first quarter of 2015, 500,000 common stock warrants were exercised at $0.05 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $25,000 to the Company.  As of March 31, 2015, unrecognized compensation cost related to option grants amounted to approximately $21,000 and will be recognized over the next 15 months.

ITEM 2
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014

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. 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.
Further cost reductions or curtailment in future operations due to our low cash balance and negative cash flow.
Our ability to effect a financing transaction to fund our operations which could adversely affect the value of our stock.
Our limited cash resources may not be sufficient to fund continuing losses from operations.
The failure of our products and services to achieve market acceptance.
The inability to compete in our market, especially against established industry competitors with greater market presence and financial resources.

 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
U-Vend, Inc. was incorporated in March 2007 as a Delaware corporation and herein we refer to the company as “we”, “us”, the “Company” or “U-Vend.”  We headquartered in Santa Monica, California and maintain operations on Chicago, Illinois and in southern California.  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 annual report.

Nature of Business
The Company entered the business of developing, marketing and distributing various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America with the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. on January 7, 2014. 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 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 takes a solutions development approach for the marketing of products through a variety of kiosk offerings.   Our approach to the market includes the addition of digital LCD monitors to most makes and models of their kiosk program. This would allow us to offer digital advertising as a national and/or local loop basis and a corresponding additional revenue stream for the Company.  

Management's plans
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $491,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $4,268,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $1,276,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $2,472,000 at March 31, 2015. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 
 
 
17

 
 

The Company needs to raise additional financing to fund the Company’s operations for year 2015, to allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.

As discussed in Note 2, on January 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange of Securities Agreement with U-Vend Canada, Inc., and the shareholders of U-Vend. The Company believes the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. will provide it with business operations and also necessary working capital.  The Company is in discussion for raising additional capital to execute on its current business plans.  There is no assurance that future financing arrangements will be successful or that the operating results will yield sufficient cash flow to execute the Company’s business plans or satisfy its obligations.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The kiosks in California were installed during the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company monitors revenue performance for each kiosks in service and redeploys units not meeting defined sales expectations.

Other (income) expense, net
Other expenses include: amortization incurred on the debt obligations of the Company, interest expense, changes to the fair value of convertible debt and warrant liabilities that include “down round” provisions, and unrealized foreign exchange on debt obligations payable in Canadian currency. Net other expenses were $56,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $85,377 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $32,882, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $18,914 in connection with debt obligations, including debt acquired in the merger and the senior convertible debt agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $94,654, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $9,125. The decrease in amortization during 2015 reflects the extension of the maturity date of the senior convertible debt on December 31, 2014 through December 2015.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $46,339 compared to $20,285 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The increase in interest expense in 2015 is associated with the borrowings under the senior convertible debt, convertible debt acquired from U-Vend Canada, subordinated convertible notes, promissory notes and lease obligations entered into in 2014-2015.
 
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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the amount of approximately $19,592.
 
 On April 17, 2015, the Company prepaid and retired the KBM note. The Note (as described in Note 4 above), included a prepayment option which resulted the Company incurring a 30% prepayment premium of the principal amount ($16,200).  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $5,400 gain on fair value of this debt based upon the repayment date to a total fair value of $70,200.

The Company entered into two registration rights agreements covering the registration of securities with underlying common stock in connection with the senior convertible debt and one of the lease financing agreements. The Company was required to file a registration statement within a specified period of time after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend Canada and meet an effectiveness deadline thereafter.  The Company met the filing and effectiveness criteria (as extended by the Senior Convertible Note holder and Lessor in April 2014) on November 21, 2014 which resulted in total penalties of $22,156 recorded by the Company at March 31, 2015.  The lenders have extended the due day for these payments until June 30, 2015. The Company believes no additional liability will be incurred under this agreement as the underlying shares are now eligible for sale in accordance with Rule 144.

Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $490,832 compared to a net loss of $590,376 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,472,000 compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $1,843,000 at March 31, 2014. The increase in the working capital deficiency is primarily due to an increase in debt and lease obligations issued by the Company since March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our operating activities used cash of approximately $148,000 compared to approximately $153,000 used during three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our operating losses, after adjusting for non-cash items, used approximately $371,000 of cash. Changes in working capital items provided approximately $222,000 of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The primary component of the working capital increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is an increase in our accounts payable, accrued expenses and amounts due to officers. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our operating losses after adjustment for non-cash items, used approximately $225,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $72,000 of cash.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued $70,000 in 10% subordinated convertible notes, $65,750 in new financing on equipment and $25,000 in new promissory notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $87,000 of senior convertible notes net of financing costs and a $50,000 promissory note from a director.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we incurred a loss of $466,549 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, have incurred accumulated losses totaling $4,223,805 have a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,232,516 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,428,000 at March 31, 2015. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
To allow us to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy our 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements:
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, promissory notes payable, capital lease obligations, contingent consideration liability, 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 and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The convertible notes payable are recorded at face amount, net of any unamortized discounts based on the underlying shares the notes can be converted into. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on March 31, 2015, 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 includes 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.

Fair Value of Debt
Under FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company determined the notes payable are liabilities reported at fair value because the notes payable may be convertible into a variable number of common shares at fixed monetary amount, known at inception. The notes payable are to be subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value being recognized in earnings. The fair value of the notes payable is measured by calculating possible outcomes of conversion to common shares and repayment of the notes payable, then weighting the probability of each possible outcome according to management’s estimates. The fair value measurement is classified as a Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants the Company has issued have a “down round provision.” 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. The methodology for valuing our outstanding warrants classified as derivative instruments was determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and modeling of the Monte Carlo simulation using multiple volatility assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The warrant liability is measured at fair value using certain estimated factors such as volatility and probability which are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs are used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative warrant liabilities include impact of dilution and volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in the volatility input would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Share-Based Payments
We record our common shares issued based on the value of the shares issued or consideration received, including cash, services rendered or other non-monetary assets, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
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, 2014 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 first quarter of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
