Vending History

Vending machines had been introduced to Americans over 70 years earlier by Thomas Adams, who installed them on New York City's elevated train platforms to sell his Chicklets gum. After World War II the vending industry grew twice as fast as the gross national product, driven by three primary factors: rising labor costs made machines an attractive alternative to human laborers; technological advances in food preservation and dispensing equipment permitted service of hot meals, sandwiches, coffee, and soft drinks; and technological advances were made in money-changing equipment. Vendors targeted "captive" markets in factories, offices, schools, and other institutions--a huge market with plenty of potential for growth and competition. The vending industry had achieved $2.5 billion in annual sales by 1960, and with statistics showing that Americans ate one in four meals away from home, vendors and stockbrokers foresaw a fine future for vending.

The Market

The vending industry is a $42 billion domestic market as reported by The Vending Times Census of the Industry 2004.  This figure represents the revenues generated by vending owners/operators and excludes office coffee and manual food service.  Manual food service represents an additional $10 billion in annual demand for convenience food.  Vended Food Products, which include refrigerated, frozen, can/bowl pack, and other meal items represents a $3.1 billion segment. While data on vended frozen foods is not stated specifically, industry sources including Vending Times and The Automatic Merchandiser Magazine concur that frozen food is a growth category while fresh foods are declining. Frozen food machines include ice cream machines as well as frozen entree machines that require an adjacent microwave oven to heat the item.

According to the Vending Times, there are an estimated 1.4 million vending locations throughout the United  States situated in manufacturing plants, factories, offices, government buildings, schools, colleges, hospitals and other public locations. These are served by approximately 9,000 vending operators.  In addition, there are approximately 52,000 hotels in the United States and 300,000 worldwide according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association (www.ahma.com). There are approximately 6,000 business-oriented hotels with more than 150 rooms, and approximately 14,000 hotels with 75 to 150 rooms. The growth rate for the overall vending market is 5% annually.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We have a family of products which are geared towards improving the experience of consumers, establishments, and operators in the convenience food, digital signage and product dispensing industry.

Our current line of products and services are described below.

Automated Express Market

 We have developed and created our Automated Express Market (AEM™) system which is Controlled Access Cabinet system. These custom built wood and steel based cabinets are PC based and designated for use in specialized locations such as hotels, Inns, c-stores, malls and retail stores that are limited in the ability to effectively sell and market food, convenience items or higher priced items which are subject to pilfering. The cabinets can be merchandised to dispense more than seventy-two selections including snacks, hot meals, ice cream, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as personal amenities such as sunscreen, toothpaste, and brushes.  They can also be configured for high ticket items such as cell phones, digital cameras mp3 players personal electronic devise and more. The AEM™ system gives the hotel’s customers the convenience of billing directly to their room through touch screen pin technology so they do not have to carry cash or coin to make purchases. The system automatically posts the charge to the guest’s account by utilizing touch screen vending (TSV™) and multi-payment capabilities. AEM™ cabinets have multiple payment options built in that include touch screen payment technology, credit/debit acceptors and smart card readers.   We are currently exploring opportunities with many limited service hotel chains in the U.S., a market that totals more than 50,000 establishments as well as c-stores and retail stores and shopping malls.

Media Advertising

 We have developed AVTi Media™ which allows for an advertising medium to be added to virtually any of AVT designed systems including AEM™ cabinets and all four next generation vending machines.  By incorporating AVTI Media, we allow the consumer to view the media, advertising or hotel messaging while they make their selections.  AVTi Media can generate advertising revenue for owners and operators in many settings such as conference rooms, hotel lobbies, airport terminals, restaurants, car rental outlets and surgery center waiting rooms.  By having vending machines in prominent locations within major companies, the vending operator “owns” the valuable space that can be used to generate advertising revenue through the Digital TV Message Board or (DTVMB) technology.  Our Vending Management System software allows for the management of machine inventory, repairs, collections and advertising through remote access. VMS™ enables owner/operators to reduce costs and increase profits by enabling real time access to inventory levels, system status, machine service and daily receivables with little to no machine down time.

Vending Management System™ (VMS)

 Our VMS systems allow us to view item information for each machine to help plan for daily replenishment, sales statistics and alerts us of defects to operators as well as defect history for each machine. This technology increases operational efficiency of vending operations and helps to prevent inventory shrinkage and skimming, both major control issues in the vending industry. A key differentiator relative to the offerings of other established players in the vending machine management space is that our VMS solution works via a DSL line cellular modem or Internet Wi-Fi and be substantially less expensive to own and operate than competing systems who do not use the internet for bi-directional transmission of vending system data.

Vend Sensing System (VSS)

 We have developed and have a patent pending on our VSS product to provide a surefire solution for detecting all vended items.  The VSS was developed specifically to detect that a vending type of product has dropped from one of the dispensing columns directly above the sensing system and has fallen into the customer delivery bin at the base of the vending system.

The VSS is coupled directly with the vending system control electronics in such that the VSS circuitry is disabled until the vending system control electronics has received payment.  Once payment has been received and the vending system starts the dispensing process, the control electronics enables the VSS circuitry to detect product which has been dispensed and has dropped into the delivery bin below.  During this sensing period, the VSS circuitry is only enabled for the empirical time period it takes to detect any one of the vendible products to fall into the delivery bin.

During the sensing period of time, the VSS circuitry uses an auto-calibrated ultrasonic beam to detect if an object of just about any size, form or shape (designed for detection of any object that can be vended) has fallen into the detectable space of the customer product delivery bin.  If an object (vended product) enters the detectable vending space, the VSS circuitry detects the object and in turn sends a “detected” signal to the Control Electronics.  If the VSS circuitry does not detect an object has entered the customer delivery bin space within the allotted empirical time frame, the VSS circuitry returns a command signal to the control electronics that a “no vend object detected”.  It is the control electronics responsibility to determine the next appropriate action to take.

This invention for product detection provides many distinct and exciting advantages over conventional detection.  First and foremost, the VSS is calibrated to “look” across the entire cross-sectional area of the delivery bin.  This is a primary advantage over the conventional light beam detection method.  The detection system is compatible in cost to that of traditional vending detection systems.  The “self calibration mode allows the system to be able to retrofit into other vending systems with minimal modification needed.

Vending Machine Manufacturing, Sales and Placements

 We currently manufacture next generation refrigerated and high capacity snack machines as well as standard and customized product dispensing systems. These machines have been designed to meet or exceed our specific performance specifications and give us the ability to minimize costs traditionally associated with purchasing new equipment.  The manufacturing of our own equipment also allows us to incorporate our technology into the systems during at the time of production reducing the costs associated with retrofitting units. We sell these systems directly to distributors, vending operators and end users located primarily throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. We believe that we are currently the only manufacturing entity with this capability in the vending industry, giving us a tremendous lead and advantage over our competition.

The major competitive advantages of AVT’s next generation machines is they all have the capability of being configured with an integrated PC.  The integrated PC allows for a variety of additional functions which include but are not limited to, cashless vending, remote sales management and media advertising for creating additional revenue through the sale and display of advertising play loops.  The feature of playing multiple looping advertisements yields the possibility of adding additional stream of revenue which may exceed that of the sales of vended product.  Another significant advantage is the  ability to plug into a standard 120 VAC household power outlet. As an operator, AVT’s experience is that the unit price of a machine and sometimes the required 220VAC circuits for the units represent major constraints to growth of a vending company.  Our next generation machines will cut machine acquisition cost by greater than 50% and eliminate expensive power outlet upgrades for establishments and operators increasing placement and sales opportunities.  Through the design and manufacturing of vending and product dispensing systems using new technologies, we have become a vendor of equipment for the entire gamete of food and high priced consumer electronics and dispensed items. With capabilities to produce machines that are far less expensive, less power demanding and having multi-pay options other than the traditional market standard, we have the opportunity to grow the mainstream as well as specialty segment of vending machine manufacturing and operations to become a major equipment provider to other distributors, all without a heavy capital investment.

We fabricate the housing for our vending machines utilizing offshore contract manufacturers.  Our final fabrication and assembly is based in Corona, California at our main facility.  Local manufacturing includes approximately 10,000 sq/ft of sheet metal fabrication and 15,000 sq/ft of assembly.  In-house Fabrication Capabilities include; Sheet Metal Forming, Welding, NC Punching, pot Welding, Machining and Fab Win (Fabrication Programming Software).  In-House Assembly Capabilities include; Line Assembly, System Integration, QC Testing, Silk Screening, Operational Testing.

COMPETITION

There are several vending companies in Southern California and the United States.  These competitors offer machine sales and vending route operations much the same as we do.

Our  route and vending operations serve as our core business structure.  Our route and vending operations utilize approximately 10 service trucks to service approximately 650 placed systems in 250 locations.  Our service operation is based in Corona California and covers the primarily the areas of Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties.   We currently compete in these counties with several other competitors.  Although these are our competitors from the sense that they have offer similar route and vending services, they do not manufacture machines as we do.   These competitors are as follows.


•  Take a Break:
Primary operations in Corona having about 20 trucks to service their routes.
   
•  Continental:
Primarily operations in Orange County having have about 30 to 35 trucks servicing their routes.
   
•  Complete:
Primarily operations in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties having approximately about 19 trucks.

Manufacturing Competition

We primarily manufacture two vending systems; a refrigerated low capacity machine, the RAM 4000, and a non-refrigerated high capacity vending machine, the RAM 5000.  Both of these base models systems can house a variety of AVT designed and integrated technology making either the RAM 4000 or RAM 5000 or any one of the several derivative systems unique with the vending industry.  Several of our pending patents may present a potential monopoly within the vending industry thereby forcing other manufacturing competitors to pay us for royalties or licenses fees for use of our patented technologies.

Many of our manufacturing competitors have been in business for many years building base line types of traditional vending systems. We believe that these companies are competitors for our RAM 4000 and RAM 5000 base line systems.  Several of these competitors are described below.

•  Crane:
Which also owns Dixie Narco, AP (Auto Products) and National Vendors is the largest manufacture of traditional baseline vending systems.
   
•  USI:
A seasoned vending manufacture having many years in the manufacturing of traditional baseline vending systems.
   
•  AMS:
A large manufacture which designs its own traditional baseline systems and has been in the vending business for many years.
   
•  Zoom Systems:
A manufacture which does design vending systems which integrate high levels of technology.    Because Zoom Systems integrates high levels of technology into its systems, it would be considered one of AVT’s primary competitors.

Although we have competition with vending routes and vending machine sales, we believe that as a technology based company, we are unique to the vending and kiosk industries in that we have the ability to design, develop then integrate our technology into our premium line of vending systems.  Due to this specialized approach, we believe that other than Zoom Systems,  we currently do not have any significant competition which is capable of integrating current technologies in the form of PC based operation, RF wireless control or similar technologies seamlessly into vending systems or products.

PATENTS

We currently have five pending patents for our technology.  These pending patents are summarized below.

Multimedia System, Method for Controlling Vending Machines
Serial Number 11-588,422
(Filed:  October 27, 2006)

Conventional control of vending systems is typically done by using a system control board consisting of a PWB (printed circuit board) and a microcontroller supported by a group of discrete electronic components.  These system components are used to control the various system functions of a vending machine i.e. spinning of auger motors, control of bill and coin acceptors, LED display feed back etc.

Our invention of Touch Screen Vending or TSV has redefined the conventional method of vending machine control.  TSV empowers the use of a multimedia PC and a color touch LCD display to virtually control the complete operation of the vending machine.  The PC stores a data base software program of all desired products to vend with an associated color digital image of each item.  A second application program displays the color image of the intended items to vend in the exact format as seen through the glass front of the vending machine.  The PC also controls the collection of currency (i.e. bill acceptor, coin acceptor, credit card reader) in place of the vending machines control board.  I/O (input/output) ports from the PC are used to interface to the vending machine control board and all aspects of operation of the vending machine is under complete control by a multimedia PC coupled with the touch screen LCD.

This invention for the control of vending machines provides many distinct and exciting advantages over conventional control such as the universal language of using a touch display to select desired products to vend in place of an alphanumeric keypad.  The system can generate virtually any type of report to combat money or product shrinkage while providing exact control of inventory.  The LCD provides a means of generating additional revenue through advertising displayed products or other services while the system in idle mode.

Vend Operating System
Claims to be amended to the Multimedia System, Method forControlling Vending Machines – Serial Number 11-588,420
(Filed:  October 27, 2006)

Our Vend Operating System (Vend OS) is a next generation vending and product dispensing system utilizing a personal computer (PC) to drive the system components and utility software.  The uniqueness in the system lies in that the vending system uses a PC to control the vending system as compared to the prior art in the vending industry which typically uses discrete component controllers for overall system operation and control.

Our Vend OS is broken up into two sections hardware and software. The hardware consists of the following devices: Virtual Sensing System (VSS), a USB Omni-pattern scanner, a USB Magtek Card Reader, a USB Pyramid Bill Acceptor, a MDB Coinco coin machine, a 7 inch LCD screen built-in with the Nano-ITX PC, and a portable mpeg player (allowing static media files to play in a continuous loop).   The software consists of the following applications: Vending Management System (VMS), Touch Screen Vending (TSV) and AVTI Digital Signage Media.

Our Vend OS is extremely flexible in its capabilities because the product is installed in our RAM bases systems without any peripheral devices and a Nano-ITX computer that includes a freeware developed by our engineering department running as a Windows’ service allowing vending by conventional ways. This freeware allows sales data and records to be stored in a secure database and has the capability of manipulating a machine’s state remotely through internet connectivity, memory stick, cell modem or phone line.

With our Vend OS we can:  manipulate product prices; turn the machine off and on, turn the compressor off and an, manipulate the change returned, manipulate the system clock, and read the machine’s state from the MDB interface and motor/auger control.  Our Nano-ITX computer includes an optional 7” touch wide screen LCD, a flash ROM that runs Microsoft Embedded System, a MDB to RS-232 interface board that connects from a VMC board to the PC serial port, motor driver printed circuit board and a PCMCIA modem that allows wireless internet connection as a typical system but control for any variety of input or out put devices are part of the scalable system.

Wireless Management of Remote Vending
 Serial Number 60-730,369
(Filed:  October 27, 2005)

Conventional methods for managing the inventory of vending machine product, price selection and for checking the daily sales numbers are typically performed by a route driver who manual checks the vending machine on a frequent basis by driving to the vending machine/s location and performing a variety of manual operations which include interrogation of the vending machine’s control board.

The invention of “Wireless Management of Remote Vending” defined as VMS (Vending Management System) is a method for performing the management on many of the above listed vending machine functions.  Information on vending activity is stored in the vending machine’s electronic control board which is then wirelessly transmitted out through the VMS module to a wireless cell phone network.  The information received on wireless network is downloaded then transmitted over the internet to one central PC server/s located at AVT.  The information stored on AVT’s server/s can be accessed via a secure log-in function (user’s account) to review and manage any specific vending machine in the network (which has been equipped with a VMS module).  The flow of VMS information and data is a bi-directional operation.  Users can also upload data, changes and control function out from their secure account to any of the vending machines in their specific network.

VMS was designed to be a low cost solution with high tech performance.  Vending route operators with as little as one or and many as one hundred (or more) vending systems in the field and equipped with VMS can now remotely and effectively control and managed their vending operations from a single PC located at the home office.  Remote VMS management controls money and product shrinkage, manages inventory by letting the vending operator know exactly what has sold and what needs to be replaced and monitors and transmits systems critical information such as machine temperature, system errors and failure modes and alerting the vending operator instantly for expeditious disposition on any vending system in the field equipped with a VMS telemetry module.

Vend Sensing System
Serial Number 11-976,311

Historically, the vending industry has typically used the conventional method of breaking or impeding a light beam for detecting when a product which has vended (dropped from a column above delivery bin).  In most cases, the light beam consists of an infrared transmitter and infrared detector which are mounted in a direct “line of site” of each other.  When a product has dropped across the light beam, the product will momentarily break the path of the light beam which sends an interruption signal to the vending system’s control board for processing.  Because a focused light beam is inherently narrow, this often causes the light beam to miss narrow items such as a thin candy bar.  Our Vend Sensing System (VSS) has redefined this conventional method for detecting a vended product utilizing ultrasonic sound.

During the sensing period of time, the VSS circuitry uses an auto-calibrated ultrasonic beam to detect if an object of just about any size, form or shape (designed for detection of any object that can be vended) has fallen into the detectable space of the customer product delivery bin.  If a vended product enters the detectable vending space, the VSS circuitry detects the object and in turn sends a “detected” signal to the control electronics. If the VSS circuitry does not detect an object has entered the customer delivery bin space within the allotted empirical time frame, the VSS circuitry returns a command signal to the control electronics that a “no vend object detected.”  It is the control electronics responsibility to determine the next appropriate action to take.

The VSS is coupled directly with the vending system control electronics so that the VSS circuitry is disabled until the vending system control electronics has received payment.  Once payment has been received and the vending system starts the dispensing process, the control electronics enables the VSS circuitry to detect product which has been dispensed and has dropped into the delivery bin below.  During this sensing period, the VSS circuitry is only enabled for the empirical time period it takes to detect any one of the vendible products to fall into the delivery bin.

This invention for product detection provides many distinct and exciting advantages over conventional detection.  First, the VSS is calibrated to “look” across the entire cross-sectional area of the delivery bin.  This is a primary advantage over the conventional narrow light beam detection method.  The detection system is compatible in cost to that of traditional vending detection systems and because it is self calibrating, it can readily retrofited into other vending systems with minimal modifications.

System and Method for Interactive Advertising
Serial Number 60-935,045
(Filed:  July 24, 2007)

Our System and Method for Interactive Advertising is a unique solution for potential clients or users to interact to a specific network of supplied information such as advertising and branding via a secure or unsecured network.  The system is designed to allow for direct customer interaction through existing telephone switch based infrastructure such as pay phones.

The new system essentially takes our base advertising hardware/software products and adapts them for the telephone industry.  This adds a level of customer interaction based upon touch or other interactive means such as a keyboard or a display message.  Customers using the system may be rewarded either with discounts and/or promotional deals depending upon the touched advertisement after responding to simple instructions displayed on the screen.

In addition, the smart technology integrated into each system telephone may also be fitted with the appropriate hardware to make that specific location a “Hot-Spot.”  Each Hot-Spot provides customers with another means  of interacting with the ATV network through free of fee-based connectivity using the customer’s portable device such as a smart phone or laptop computer, or any other portable electronic device capable of linking to the Hot-Spot by means of cable, wireless, or infrared radio frequency.  Each Hot-Spot location allows customers to use wireless internet within the location’s range to aid them in acquiring their discounts and/or rewards more quickly and specific advertisements may be downloaded and displayed on the phone touch screen.  Ideally, customers may form a dependency for the Hot-Spot’s use and become a habitual user of the AVT technology and services.

Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business

The effects of existing or probable government regulations are minimal.

FABRICATION AND DESIGN

AVT is dedicated to the development of technology enriched vending and product dispensing systems.  Our fabrication and design team is staffed with software, electromechanical and firmware engineers, and information technology specialists with the primary responsibility of developing and integrating new technology into our vending systems.

Our fabrication and design team uses creative tools such as “Solid Works” to develop and generate CAD drawings which are used by our local manufacturing partners and OEM manufacture in China to produce our state of the art vending systems, components and retrofit designs.  These machines are shipped to our facility in Corona, California for integration, assembly, final testing and deployment.

Fabrication and design effort is the design and enhancement of our AVTi Media products.  The AVTi Media products are integrated into our base systems and also sold to other vending manufactures.  The following is a summary of our current AVTi products:

•  AVTi Media Administer:  This is a program designed to manage and administer all aspects and features of our digital signage program.  The Media Administrator allows a remote operator to create, manage, update and scheduled ads that will play on LCD displays which have been integrated into vending systems.

•  AVTi Media Client: This is a program designed be located on the vending system’s integrated PC and has the priority of playing the ad “play list.”  This client software also uses prescheduled times to monitor the server to “update” the playlist as required.

•  AVTI Media Server:  This is a server based program which coordinates the efforts, changes and directives from the administrator program with the schedule efforts of all the multiple clients located in the field and connected via the internet.

Our secondary fabrication and design efforts run concurrently with our primary efforts to support ongoing systems and to develop new products.  These products are summarized as follows:

•  TSV:  Touch Screen Vending is an ongoing software development effort which is our primary flagship software product.  This is a modular program designed to evolve with the changing technologies supporting our vending and dispensing products.

•  IVend: This is an ongoing development design that features a high-end dispensing center which combines our base RAM 4000 cabinet with a creative front door design which includes interactive touch screens and a variety of other supported hardware.  The IVend also has its own software application program which is designed to provide a high degree of interactive and intuitive application to the user.

•  Tech Store: This system is similar to our IVend system designed for middle priced systems.

•  Vend Mart: This system is similar to our IVend system designed for entry level priced systems.  The Vend Mart also has its own software application program which is design to provide  a high degree of interactive and intuitive application to a base line vending systems equipped with TSV.

In additional, we have a variety of ongoing hardware and software R&D projects which are at various stages of development.  The following is a brief list of some of our non-confidential R&D efforts:

MDB – PC Software Interface
DEX to PC software Interface
MDB to USB Hardware Device
DEX to Radio Controller PCB

 Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws

The expense of complying with environmental regulations is of minimal consequence.

Number of total employees and number of full time employees.

We currently have approximately 23 full time employees and 5 part-time employees.  We allow and utilize the services of independent contractors.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this registration statement before investing in our common stock.  Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.

We have a limited operating history and may not succeed.

We have a limited operating history and may not succeed.  Our plans and businesses are “proposed” and “intended” but we may not be able to successfully implement them.  Our primary business purpose is vending operations and manufacturing.  We expect that unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties will occur and that they may result in material delays in the operation of our business.  We may not obtain sufficient capital or achieve a significant level of operations and, even if we do, we may not be able to conduct such operations on a profitable basis.

Our common stock is a “Penny Stock” which trades on the Pink Sheets on the over-the-counter market, as a result, there are additional risks associated with stock and you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock quickly.

Our common stock is considered a “Penny Stock” which trades on the Pink Sheets on the over-the-counter market.  As a result, there are additional risks associated with our common stock and you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our common stock quickly.

Our common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

•           that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

 
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 •           obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

 
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
 
•           sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

 
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
We require substantial capital requirements to finance our operations.  Our inability to obtain financing will adversely impact our business.

We will require additional capital for future operations.  We plan to finance anticipated ongoing expenses and capital requirements with funds generated from the following sources:

§  
cash provided by operating activities;
§  
available cash and cash investments; and
§  
capital raised through debt and equity offerings.

The uncertainties and risks associated with future performance and revenues will ultimately determine our liquidity and our ability to meet anticipated capital requirements.  If declining prices cause our anticipated revenues to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to replace our inventory.  As a result, our production and revenues would decrease over time and may not be sufficient to satisfy our projected capital expenditures.  We may not be able to obtain additional financing in such a circumstance.

Our stock price has been extremely volatile and, as a result, you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.

The stock price of our stock as has been extremely volatile and an active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained.   Further, the market price of our common stock may decline below the price you paid for your shares.

Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

§  
industry trends and the business success of our vendors;
§  
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results, including our comparable store sales;
§  
our failure to meet the expectations of the investment community and changes in investment community recommendations or estimates of our future operating results;
§  
strategic moves by our competitors, such as product announcements or acquisitions;
§  
regulatory developments;
§  
litigation;
§  
general market conditions;
§  
other domestic and international macroeconomic factors unrelated to our performance; and
§  
additions or departures of key personnel.

We have substantial indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2009, we had outstanding indebtedness of $2,173,515 which includes $1,789,338 convertible notes which require us to make quarterly cash interest payments.  Our ability to meet our debt service requirements will depend upon achieving significant and sustained growth in our expected cash flow, which will be affected by our success in implementing our business strategy, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.  Accordingly, we cannot be certain as to whether or when we will have sufficient resources to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness, we will have to reduce or delay planned capital expenditures, sell assets, restructure or refinance our indebtedness or seek additional equity capital. We cannot assure you that any of these strategies can be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all, particularly in light of our high levels of indebtedness. In addition, the extent to which we continue to have substantial indebtedness could have significant consequences, including:

     -
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, product research and development,  acquisitions and other general corporate purposes may be materially  limited or impaired,

 
     -
a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations may need to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and therefore not available to finance our business, and

     -
our high degree of indebtedness may make us more vulnerable to economic downturns, limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures or reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

The vending industry is a competitive industry and we may not be able to compete with our competitors.

The vending industry is highly competitive. We compete in both the vending manufacturing and vending operations segment of the industry with companies that offer the same services that we do.  Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do.  Although we believe we have an competitive advantage based upon the lower pricing of our products, a substantial decline in price could adversely affect consumer demand for our products and reduce our competitive advantage.  Although we believe that there are significant barriers to entry to new competitors in the vending market due to, among other things, the substantial capital outlay required to purchase the number of machines needed to achieve competitive operating efficiencies, a competitor with significant financial resources may be able to compete with us.  There can be no assurance that any competitors will not be able to raise the required capital to effectively compete with us.

In addition, we may face new competition as we seek to expand into international markets and develop new products, services and enhancements. Many of the competitors have greater experience than we do in operating in these international markets. Moreover, new products that we intend to develop, such as advertising, may subject us to competition from companies with significantly greater technological resources and experience.  Many of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than we have. These competitors may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to consumers and businesses. Our competitors might succeed in developing technologies, products or services that are more effective, less costly or more widely used than those that have been or are being developed by us or that would render our technologies or products obsolete or noncompetitive. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors.  Competitive pressures could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to achieve sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness.

The success of our potential new services and products is uncertain.

We have committed, and expect to continue to commit, significant resources and capital to develop and market existing product and service enhancements and new products and services.  One example is our AVTi advertising business.  These products and services are relatively untested, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve market acceptance for these products and services, or other new products and services. Moreover, these and other new products and services may be subject to significant competition with offerings by potential competitors in addition to companies that compete in our coin processing business. Many of these potential competitors have significantly greater technological expertise and financial and other resources than we do. In addition, new products, services and enhancements may pose a variety of technical challenges and require us to enhance the capabilities of our network and attract additional qualified employees. The failure to develop and market new products, services or enhancements successfully could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and ability to achieve sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness.

Our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers.

We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance of our vending machines by consumers. Although believe that the use of vending machines in the United States is gaining better consumer acceptance, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of this market.
 
We depend upon third-party manufactures and suppliers and the loss of such third-party manufactures and suppliers would seriously harm our business.

We depend, and will continue to depend, on outside parties for the manufacture of our vending machines and its key components. We intend to expand our manufacturing and such expansion may be limited by the manufacturing capacity of our third-party manufacturers and suppliers. Although we expect that our current third-party manufacturers and suppliers will be able to produce sufficient units to meet projected demand, if there is an unanticipated increase in demand for our units, we may be unable to meet such demand due to manufacturing constraints.   Should our third-party manufacturers and suppliers cease making our, we would be required to locate and qualify additional suppliers. We may be unable to locate alternate manufacturers on a timely basis.

Our prior growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth rates and should not be relied upon.

You should not consider prior growth rates in our revenue to be indicative of our future operating results. The timing and amount of future revenues will depend almost entirely on our ability to obtain new vending routes and make vending machine sales.  Our future operating results will depend upon many other factors, including:

     - the level of product and price competition,

     - our success in expanding our business network and managing our growth,

     - our ability to develop and market product enhancements and new products,
 
      - our ability to enter into and penetrate new international markets, such as Mexico and Canada,

     - the timing of product enhancements, activities of and acquisitions by competitors,

     - the ability to hire additional employees, and

     - the timing of such hiring and the ability to control costs.

We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our patents and proprietary rights.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology through a combination of patents, licenses and other intellectual property arrangements, without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. We currently have four pending patents relating to our business.  We cannot assure you that these pending patents will be issued or that any of our patents will be held valid if challenged, that any pending patent applications will issue, or that other parties will not claim rights in or ownership of our patents and other proprietary rights. Moreover, patents issued to us may be circumvented or fail to provide adequate protection. Our competitors might independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies.  Since patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed by others which, if issued as patents, could cover our products. We cannot be certain that others will not assert patent infringement claims or claims of misappropriation against us based on current or pending U.S. and/or foreign patents, copyrights or trade secrets or that such claims will not be successful.

 In addition, defending our company against these types of claims, regardless of their merits, could require us to incur substantial costs and divert the attention of key personnel. Parties making these types of claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block our ability to provide our services and could result in an award of substantial damages. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, we may need or be required to obtain one or more licenses from, as well as grant one or more licenses to, others. We cannot assure you that we could obtain necessary licenses from others at a reasonable cost or at all.

We also rely on trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. Although we protect our proprietary technology in part by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be discovered independently by our competitors. The failure to protect our intellectual property rights effectively or to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and ability to achieve sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness.

We depend upon key personnel, the loss of which could seriously harm our business.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and key employees.   Our long-term success will depend on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. We have at times experienced difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel, and we may experience difficulties in the future.  The inability to attract and retain necessary technical and managerial personnel could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to achieve sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness.

Our management has broad discretion over the use of capital raised.

We plan on raising capital for working capital and to help pay off the outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, including financing the Company's expansion. Thus, management will have broad discretion in allocating proceeds of any offering.
 
Requirements associated with being a reporting public company will require significant company resources and management attention.

Prior to this offering, we had not been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the other rules and regulations of the SEC or any securities exchange relating to public companies. We are working with independent legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure you that these and other measures we may take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis.

In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies such as Sarbanes Oxley will create additional costs for us, will require the time and attention of management and will require the hiring of additional personnel and outside consultants. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur, the timing of such costs or the degree of impact on our management's attention to these matters will have on our business.
       
In addition, being a reporting public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors' and officers' liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

Our estimates may prove to be inaccurate and future net cash flows are uncertain.  Any significant variance from these assumptions could greatly effect our estimates.

Our estimates of both future sales and the timing of development expenditures are uncertain and may prove to be inaccurate.  We also make certain assumptions regarding net cash flows and operating costs that may prove incorrect when judged against our actual experience.  Any significant variance from these assumptions could greatly affect our estimates of future net cash flows and our ability to borrow under our credit facility.

Our preferred stock has rights senior to those of our common stock which could adversely affect holders of common stock.

Our charter documents give our board of directors the authority to issue series of preferred stock without a vote or action by our stockholders.  The board also has the authority to determine the terms of preferred stock, including price, preferences and voting rights.  The rights granted to holders of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock.  Currently, our board has authorized our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which has a liquidation preference – a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation – that would reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock.  In addition, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights which are superior to the voting right of the holders of our common stock.  In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.  As a result, common stockholders could be prevented from participating in transactions that would offer an optimal price for their shares.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the growth of our business. In addition, the terms of the instruments governing our existing debt and any future debt or credit facility may preclude us from paying any dividends.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this registration statement.  This registration statement contains “forward-looking statements.” The statements contained in this report that are not historic in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” or “plans” or comparable terminology are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.

Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the section “Risk Factors” set forth in this registration statement.

The forward-looking events discussed in this registration statement, the documents to which we refer you and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the “bespeaks caution” doctrine.  All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s policy is to use the accrual method of accounting to prepare and present financial statements, which conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The company has elected a December 31 year-end.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost.

Revenue is recognized at the time of sale upon receipt of payment.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Results of Operations

We have historically financed operations through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operations and the sale of our securities.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had revenues of $2,956,645 and total cost of goods and general and administrative expenses of $2,918,674 for net income of $35,728.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had revenues of $4,431,154 and total cost of goods and general and administrative expenses of $4,297,078 for net income of $117,068.

Our revenues increased by $1,449,253 for the year ended December 31, 2009, Our general and administrative expenses also increased by $1,371,008 for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increased manufacturing product and operating expenses relating to increased restaurant expenses, rent for our facility, payroll expenses .

For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net income has increased by $78,245 compared to the previous year  December 31, 2008.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $4,431,154 compared to total revenues of $2,956,645 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in revenues is due to increased manufacturing revenue of $1,471,442  and increased restaurant revenue of $215,687.  Our product sales revenue decreased slightly by $212,620.

We attribute the increase manufacturing revenues to increased sales of custom vending machines.  Increase restaurant revenue is due to increased catering revenue.  The reduction in product sales is primarily related to decreased vending route sales.

Our general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increased costs of goods and operating expenses relating to increased rent for our facility, advertising and payroll expenses.

We believe that we sufficient available cash and cash flow from operations to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months.  There can be no assurance, however, that cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for the next 12 months or beyond.

We expect our manufacturing costs to increase approximately 15% due to the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar and the exchange rates with our foreign manufactures.  Depending on the strength of the U.S. Dollar, this trend may or may not continue.

Inflation and changing prices have affected our business as related primarily to fuel and increased vehicle expenses.  We anticipate that fuel costs will continue, thus increasing our operating costs.  Our cost of goods and prices for our products remain relatively stable and we expect this trend to continue through the end of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed operations through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operations and the sale of our securities.  At December 31, 2009, we had cash of $1,078,252 compared to cash of $56,547 at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2009, we had inventory of $395,461 compared to $590,597 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in inventory for the year ended December 31, 2009, is due to increased sales of our vending machines.

The Company’s assets increased from $14,957,664 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $18,599,987 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This increase in assets is due to increased intellectual property assets.

The companies long term debt and notes payable as of December 31, 2009, for a total of $1,728,460. Are due to share holder notes of $1,476,996 and have terms on an average of three years from issue date. Long term debt of $251,464, consists of equipment leases.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s general and administrative expenses increased approximately $627,699 and $583,653 from the year ended December 31, 2008.  The increase was due to the additional expenses associated with operating the AC Mexican, Inc. restaurant and fabrication costs.

All receivable accounts are due within 45 days of delivery.  Upon special approval, we allow 90 days to receive payment.  Collections for past due accounts are handled internally. As of December 31, 2009 accounts receivable total was $1,882,535, this increase is due to new customers with large orders for machines. Average days outstanding for December 31, 2009 is 90 days due to larger orders. December 31, 2008 our average days outstanding were 45-60 due to smaller orders.

Future Goals

In the next 12 month, we will continue our research, development and marketing efforts. We have entered into multiple manufacturing agreements with offshore manufacturers to produce the housings for our technology based RAM4000 and RAM5000 vending systems and have established a line of credit to ensure payment and production of the systems.

Our goal is to manufacture and sell as many systems as possible in the next 12 to 24 months through established distributors and direct sales to meet the anticipated industry demand for a competitively priced vending system that is an energy efficient, technology based,  “Green” system..

A critical focus for sales over the next 12 months will be our Product Dispensing Centers (PDCs).  Our PDCs are based on our RAM4000 or RAM5000 system and integrates more sophisticated technology features and options such as full face large touch screen displays, receipt printers, cashless payment options and advertising displays.  In addition, our PDCs systems can dispense a variety of  snack items and non-food items such as cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, DVDs, consumer electronics and accessories.  We will also focus on “Themed” systems to dispense products such as tee-shirts, promotional items, perfumes, contact lenses and just about any product our customers have a location and market for.  Our “Themed” systems are of exceptional interest to our direct end customers as the products these systems dispense result in higher profit margins.

All of our vending systems are capable of the inclusion of PC hardware and LCD displays.  A future goal of AVT is to complete and continue to refine application software that runs digital signage for the primary purpose of displaying paid advertisements.  As we sell systems that are equipped with a PC and LCD display, each system becomes a “node” on a digital network.  As the network expands, many thousands of vending systems and PDCs can be part of nationwide advertising network which we believe will be of interest for national advertisers.  Our goal is to “own” the network but not the systems.  All vending system owners will have the option to join the AVT nationwide network with our AVT based advertising vending system to get an equitable share of revenue for allowing advertisements from AVT’s server to be pushed-out onto their vending system.

Future goals and system refinements will include continued software and hardware development and refinements to include even more efficient operating systems to integrate more seamlessly with the internet, becoming Wi-Fi standard and including SMS and email features. Our goal is that the AVT vending systems will become the standard for intelligent self-service vending systems deployed throughout the US and world markets.

In addition, within the next 12 months, we will continue to work to become a fully company and have our common stock trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K, our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our chairman of the board and chief executive and financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of  unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control--Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, at December 31, 2009, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the its evaluation of our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
Board of Directors
AVT, Inc.

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AVT, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of , Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

AVT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(12/31/09)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 26, 1969, as Infodex, Inc. At that time, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing and selling of various electronic devices, especially in the preparation various types of oscilloscopes known as “CRT” display modules.  In March 2005, the Company was renamed to Midwest Venture Group, Inc. and In September 2005, the Company again changed its name to Automated Vending Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company’s primary operations as a vending machine manufacturer and vending route operator.  In January, 2008, the Company changed its state of domicile to Nevada, changed its name to AVT, Inc. and completed a 1 for 3 reverse split of its common stock.  In April 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of AC Mexican Food, Inc. dba Jalapeno’s Mexican food restaurant and as further described in Note 6.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s policy is to use the accrual method of accounting to prepare and present financial statements, which conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company has a December 31st year end.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. The Company's financial statements include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Organization places its cash deposit with high-credit quality, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Organization to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits in excess of FDIC’s insurance limit of $250,000.    Management believes the financials risk associated the cash deposits in excess of this limit is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date.

Accounts Receivable

The Company is also subject to credit risk as it extends credit to its customers, mostly on an unsecured basis after performing certain credit analysis.  The Company’s terms are typically net 30 days.  The Company periodically reviews the creditworthiness of its customers and provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company considered all outstanding receivables fully collectible, therefore an allowance of $-0- has been provided for.
 
Inventory

Inventory is primarily valued using an average cost method and is stated at the lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease of the related assets, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives generally range from 3 to 7 years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of the retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost and consist of patents, copyrights and certain vending route contracts. Amortization is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from five to seventeen years.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment as described below.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not deem any of its long-lived assets to be impaired and thus no impairment losses were recorded.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists; products are received by customers and title passes; fee is fixed and determinable; and, collectibility is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Segment Reporting

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, (SFAS 131), the Company is required to disclose certain disclosures of operating segments, as defined in SFAS 131. Management has determined that the Company has two (2) segments related to its Vending and Restaurant operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed in accordance with FASB 128 by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

Basic earnings per share take into account only the actual number of outstanding common shares during the period.  Diluted earnings per share take into effect the common shares actually outstanding and the impact of convertible securities, stock options, stock warrants and their equivalents.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values.

SFAS 141(R) makes various other amendments to authoritative literature intended to provide additional guidance or to confirm the guidance in that literature to that provided in this Statement. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141 (R) to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest must be accounted for consistently, and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary must be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment. The Statement also requires entities to provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Statement applies prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect this to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

6.           BUSINESS COMBINATION

In April 2008, we purchased 100% of the assets and liabilities of AC Mexican Food, Inc. dba Jalapenos Mexican Food, for a purchase price of 1,000,000 restricted shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred stock.  The asset was valued at $1,000,000 pursuant to the value of fixtures in the restaurant.  The Series A Convertible Preferred stock was arbitrarily valued at $1.00 per share as there is no public market for the Company’s Preferred stock. Pursuant to FASB 141, the primary purpose of the purchase was to provide an alternative stream for the Company and to provide the Company with the ability to provide Mexican fresh foods in the Company’s vending machines.

8.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until January 1, 2009 for calendar year-end entities.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.

SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:

• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)

Fair Value Option

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 provides a fair value option election that allows entities to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur for those assets and liabilities for which the election is made. The election is made on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

9.           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnities and Guarantees

During the normal course of business, the Company may make certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities may include certain agreements with the Company’s officers, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship, agreements with financial institutions in connections with certain of the Company’s notes payable, and agreements with leasing of office space for certain actions arising during the Company tenancy.  The duration of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make.

Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying balance sheet.

Leases

The Company has various operating lease commitments in connection with its office space and certain equipment.

Legal

The Company may be involved from time to time in claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations or discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental in the normal operations of the business. The Company is currently not involved in any such litigation or disputes which management believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
