PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

Overview

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 are 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.

Forward Looking Information
 
This report contains statements about future events and expectations that are characterized as “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance, and financial condition we express or imply in such forward-looking statements.  You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Business Overview

With the merger with U-Vend Canada, Inc. on January 7, 2014 the Company entered the business of developing, marketing and distributing various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. The Company seeks to place its kiosks in high-traffic host locations such as big box stores, restaurants, malls, airports, casinos, universities, and colleges.  Currently, the Company leases, owns and operates their kiosks but intends to also provide the kiosks, through a distributor relationship, to the entrepreneur wanting to own their own business.

The Company’s “next-generation” vending kiosks incorporate advanced wireless technology, creative concepts, and ease of management.  Our kiosks have been designed to be tech-savvy and can be managed on line 24 hours a day/7 days a week, accepting traditional cash input as well as credit and debit cards.  Host locations and suppliers have been drawn to this distribution concept of product vending based on the advantages of reduced labor and lower product theft as compared to non-kiosk merchandising platforms. The Company takes a solutions development approach for the marketing of products through a variety of kiosk offerings.   This approach has the ability to add digital LCD monitors to most makes and models of their kiosk program. This allows the digital advertising as a national and/or local loop basis and a corresponding additional revenue stream for the Company.  
  
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2014, we had five full-time employees, two part-time employees, and one contracted position.  None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.  

Websites

We maintain one active website, www.u-vend.com which serves as our corporate website and contains information about our company and business.  The Company owns over 12 domain names for future use or for strategic competitive reasons.

Available Information
 
Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is required to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC.  You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information about the public reference room.  The SEC maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  The Company files electronically with the SEC.  The SEC makes available, free of charge, through the SEC Internet web site, the Company’s filings on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with the SEC.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities is subject to numerous risks, including the Risk Factors described below. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected by any of the following risks.  The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also materially affect our business. In such case, we may not be able to proceed with our planned operations and your investment may be lost entirely. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks.  In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements.  An investment in our securities should only be acquired by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment without adversely affecting their standard of living or financial security.
 
We have a limited operating history and may not be able to achieve financial or operational success.
 
We were founded in March 2007, initiated our first operating business in October 2009, exited from our first operating business in March 2013, and acquired our most recent operating business in January 2014.  We have a limited operating history with respect to this or any newly acquired business.  As a result, we may not be able to achieve sustained financial or operational success, given the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with an early-stage business in an evolving market.

Our growth strategy includes acquisitions that entail significant execution, integration and operational risks.
 
We are pursuing a growth strategy based in part on acquisitions, with the objective of creating a combined company that we believe can achieve increased cost savings and operating efficiencies through economies of scale especially in the integration of administrative services.  We will seek to make additional acquisitions in the future to increase our revenue.
 
This growth strategy involves significant risks. There is significant competition for acquisition targets in our markets. Consequently, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisitions or may have difficulty finding attractive businesses for acquisition at reasonable prices. If we are unable to identify future acquisition opportunities, reach agreement with such third parties or obtain the financing necessary to make such acquisitions, we could lose market share to competitors who are able to make such acquisitions. This loss of market share could negatively impact our business, revenues and future growth.
 
We may be unable to achieve benefits from any acquisitions.

Even if we are able to complete acquisitions, we may be unable to achieve the anticipated benefits of a particular acquisition, the anticipated benefits may take longer to realize than expected, or we may incur greater costs than expected in attempting to achieve anticipated benefits.
 
Any acquisition we make exposes us to risks.
 
Any acquisition we make carries risks which could result in an adverse effect on our financial condition.  These risks include:
 
 
diversion of our attention from normal daily operations of our vending business to acquiring and assimilating new businesses;
 
 
the use of substantial portions of any cash we have available;
 
 
failure to understand the needs and behaviors of users for a newly acquired business or other product;
 
 
redundancy or overlap between existing products and services, on the one hand, and acquired products and services, on the other hand;
 
 
difficulty assimilating operations, technologies, products and policies of acquired businesses; and
 
 
assuming liabilities, including unknown and contingent liabilities, of acquired businesses.
 

If we are unable to develop and market new product offerings or fail to predict or respond to emerging trends, our revenue and any profitability will suffer.
 
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to modify or enhance our product offerings marketed through our vending kiosks to meet user’s demands.  If we are unable to predict preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our product offerings in a timely manner, we may lose revenue. New products may be dependent upon our ability to enter into new relationship with suppliers, which we may not be able to obtain in a timely manner, upon terms acceptable to us, or at all. We spend significant resources developing and enhancing our product offerings. However, new or enhanced product offerings may not be accepted by users. If we are unable to successfully source and market new product offerings in a timely and cost-effective manner, our revenue and any profitability will suffer.
 
4

 
If we fail to develop and diversify product offerings, we could lose market share.
 
The market for selling products through vending kiosks has a low barrier to entry which creates a high level of competition.  To remain competitive, we must continue to find, market, and sell new products through our vending kiosks.  The time, expense and effort associated with such development may be greater than anticipated, and any products actually introduced by us may not achieve consumer acceptance. Furthermore, our efforts to meet changing customer needs may require the development or licensing of products at great expense. If we are unable to develop and bring to market additional products, we could lose market share to competitors, which could negatively impact our business, revenues and future growth.

The increased security risks of online advertising and e-commerce may cause us to incur significant expenses and may negatively impact our credibility and business.
 
A significant prerequisite of online commerce, advertising, and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet, consumer identity theft and user privacy have been significant barriers to growth in consumer use of the Internet, online advertising, and e-commerce. A significant portion of our sales is billed directly to our customers’ credit card accounts. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect secure transmission of confidential information. Encryption technology scrambles information being transmitted through a channel of communication to help ensure that the channel is secure even when the underlying system and network infrastructure may not be secure. Authentication technologies, the simplest example of which is a password, help to ensure that an individual user is who he or she claims to be by “authenticating” or validating the individual’s identity and controlling that individual’s access to resources. Despite our implementation of security measures, however, our computer systems may be potentially susceptible to electronic or physical computer break-ins, viruses and other disruptive harms and security breaches. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may specifically compromise our security measures. Any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding website visitors, whether through breach of our network by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our reputation and brands, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain our audiences, or subject us to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by consumers, and thereby harm our business and operating results. If consumers experience identity theft after using any of our websites, we may be exposed to liability, adverse publicity and damage to our reputation. To the extent that identity theft gives rise to reluctance to use our websites or a decline in consumer confidence in financial transactions over the Internet, our businesses could be adversely affected. Alleged or actual breaches of the network of one of our business partners or competitors whom consumers associate with us could also harm our reputation and brands. In addition, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of state, federal and foreign laws regarding the unauthorized disclosure of personal information. For example, California law requires companies that maintain data on California residents to inform individuals of any security breaches that result in their personal information being stolen. Because our success depends on the acceptance of online services and e-commerce, we may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Internet fraud has been increasing over the past few years, and fraudulent online transactions, should they continue to increase in prevalence, could also adversely affect the customer experience and therefore our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We depend on key management, product management, technical and marketing personnel for continued success.
 
Our success and future growth depend, to a significant degree, on the skills and continued services of our management team, including Paul Neelin, our Chief Operations Officer and Raymond Meyers, our Chief Executive Officer.  Our ongoing success also depends on our ability to identify, hire and retain skilled and qualified technical and marketing personnel in a highly competitive employment market.  As we develop and acquire new products and services, we will need to hire additional employees.  Our inability to attract and retain well-qualified managerial, technical and sales and marketing personnel may have a negative effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be required to seek additional funding, and such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
 
We may need to obtain additional funding due to a number of factors beyond our expectations or control, including a shortfall in revenue, increased expenses, a need for working capital for growth, increased investment in capital equipment or the acquisition of businesses, services or technologies. If we do need to obtain funding, it may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business would be harmed. Even if we were able to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities in a transaction that could be highly dilutive to our investors or we may be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities we have outstanding today. We may also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to generate or raise capital that is sufficient to fund our operations, we may be required to curtail operations, reduce our services, defer or cancel expansion or acquisition plans or cease operations in certain jurisdictions or completely.
 
 
5

 
The termination, non-renewal or renegotiation on materially adverse terms of our contracts or relationships with one or more of our significant host locations, product suppliers and partners could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The success of our business depends in large part on our ability to maintain contractual relationships with our host locations in profitable locations.  Our typical host location agreement ranges from one to three years and automatically renews until we or the retailer gives notice of termination.  Certain contract provisions with our host locations vary, including product and service offerings, the commission fees we are committed to pay each host location, and the ability to cancel the contract upon notice after a certain period of time. We strive to provide direct and indirect benefits to our host locations that are superior to, or competitive with, other providers or systems or alternative uses of the floor space that our kiosks occupy. If we are unable to provide our retailers with adequate benefits, we may be unable to maintain or renew our contractual relationships on acceptable terms, causing our business, financial condition and results of operations to suffer.

If we cannot execute on our strategy and offer new automated retail products and services.
 
Our strategy is based upon leveraging our core competencies in the automated retail space to provide the consumer with convenience and value and to help retailers drive incremental traffic and revenue. To be competitive, we need to develop, or otherwise provide, new product and service offerings that are accepted by the market and establish third-party relationships necessary to develop and commercialize such product and service offerings. We are exploring new businesses to enter, and new products and services to offer, however, the complexities and structures of these new businesses could create conflicting priorities, constrain limited resources, and negatively impact our core businesses. We may use our financial resources and managements’ time and focus to invest in other companies offering automated retail services, or we may seek to grow businesses organically, or we may seek to offer new products on our current kiosks.  We may enter into joint ventures through which we may expand our product offerings.  Any new business opportunity also may have its own unique risks related to operations, finances, intellectual property, technology, legal and regulatory issues, corporate governance or other challenges, for which we may have limited or no prior experience. In addition, if we fail to timely establish or maintain relationships with significant retailers and suppliers, we may not be able to provide our consumers with desirable new products and services. Further, in order to develop and commercialize certain new products and services, we will need to create new kiosks or enhance the capabilities of our current kiosks, as well as adapt our related networks and systems through appropriate technological solutions, and establish market acceptance of such products or services. We cannot assure you that new products or services that we provide will be successful or profitable.
 
Failure to adequately comply with information security policies or to safeguard against breaches of such policies could adversely affect our operations and could damage our business, reputation, financial position and results of operations.
 
As our business expands to provide new products and services, we are increasing the amount of consumer data that we collect, transfer and retain as part of our business. These activities are subject to laws and regulations, as well as industry standards, in the United States and other jurisdictions in which our products and services are available. These requirements, which often differ materially and sometimes conflict among the many jurisdictions in which we operate, are designed to protect the privacy of consumers’ personal information and to prevent that information from being inappropriately used or disclosed. We maintain and review technical and operational safeguards designed to protect this information and generally require third party vendors and others with whom we work to do so as well. However, despite those safeguards, it is possible that hackers, employees acting contrary to our policies, third-party agents or others could improperly access relevant systems or improperly obtain or disclose data about our consumers, or that we may be determined not to be in compliance with applicable legal requirements and industry standards for data security, such as the Payment Card Industry guidelines. A breach or purported breach of relevant security policies that compromises consumer data or determination of non-compliance with applicable legal requirements or industry standards for data security could expose us to regulatory enforcement actions, card association or other monetary fines or sanctions, or contractual liabilities, limit our ability to provide our products and services, subject us to legal action and related costs and damage our business reputation, financial position, and results of operations.

Litigation, arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions, investigations or other legal proceedings could result in material rulings, decisions, settlements, fines, penalties or publicity that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our industry has in the past been, and may in the future continue to be, party to class actions, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitration, mediation and other legal proceedings. The outcome of such proceedings is often difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs, regulatory bodies or other parties may seek very large or indeterminate amounts of money from us or substantial restrictions on our business activities, and the results, including the magnitude, of lawsuits, actions, settlements, decisions and investigations may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The cost to defend, settle or otherwise finalize lawsuits, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitrations, mediations or other legal proceedings may be significant and such proceedings may divert management’s time.  In addition, there may be adverse publicity associated with any such developments that could decrease consumer acceptance of our products and services. As a result, litigation, arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions or investigations involving us may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are subject to substantial federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation specific to our business.
 
Our business is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation, including those relating to copyright law, access to kiosks in public places, consumer privacy and protection, data protection and information security, taxes, vehicle safety, weights and measures, payment cards and other payment instruments, food and beverages, sweepstakes, and contests. The application of existing laws and regulations, changes in laws or enactment of new laws and regulations, that apply, or may in the future apply, to our current or future products or services, changes in governmental authorities’ interpretation of the application of various government regulations to our business, or the failure or inability to gain and retain required permits and approvals could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
 
6

 
In addition, many jurisdictions require us to obtain certain licenses in connection with the operations of our businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be granted all necessary licenses or permits in the future, that current licenses or permits will be renewed or that regulators will not revoke current licenses or permits. Given the unique nature of our business and new products and services we may develop or acquire in the future, the application of various laws and regulations to our business is uncertain. Further, as governmental and regulatory scrutiny and action with regard to many aspects of our business increase, we expect that our costs of complying with the applicable legal requirements may increase, perhaps substantially.
 
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or permits, loss of approved status, termination of contracts, administrative enforcement actions and fines, class action lawsuits, cease and desist orders and civil and criminal liability. The occurrence of one or more of these events, as well as the increased cost of compliance, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
As we begin to scale our business we may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may, among other things, over-install kiosks in certain geographic areas leading to non-accretive installations, and we cannot be certain that historical revenue experience for new kiosks will be sustainable in the future.
 
This growth may place significant demands on our operational, financial and administrative infrastructure and our management. As our operations grow in size, scope and complexity, we anticipate the need to integrate, as appropriate, and improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure, both those relating to providing attractive and efficient consumer products and services and those relating to our administration and internal systems, processes and controls.  This integration and expansion of our administration, processes, systems and infrastructure may require us to commit and will continue to cause us to commit, substantial financial, operational and technical resources to managing our business.
 
Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management and operational resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization, including otherwise effectively growing our business lines, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.
 
We may not have the ability to pay interest on our Notes, to repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change or to settle conversions of the Notes, as may be required.
 
If a fundamental change occurs under the indenture governing our Notes, holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or a portion of their Notes. In addition, upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we will be required to make cash payments.  Depending on the amount and timing of the payment requirements, we may not have been able to meet all of the obligations relating to Note conversions, which could have had a material adverse effect.

Further, if we fail to pay interest on, carry out the fundamental change repurchase obligations relating to, or make payments (including cash) upon conversion of, the Notes, we will be in default under the indenture governing the Notes. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness.  If the repayment of indebtedness were to be accelerated, including after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not, among other things, have sufficient funds to repay indebtedness or pay interest on, carry out our repurchase obligations relating to, or make cash payments upon conversion of, the Notes.
 
Conversion of our convertible notes into common stock could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
 
Upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock to a converting holder.  If additional shares of our common stock are issued due to conversion of some or all of the outstanding Notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders would be diluted. Further, any sales in the public market of any shares of common stock issued upon conversion or hedging or arbitrage trading activity that develops due to the potential conversion of the Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

Competitive pressures could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The nature and extent of consolidations and bankruptcies, which often occur during or as a result of economic downturns, in markets where we install our kiosks, particularly the supermarket and other retailing industries, could adversely affect our operations, including our competitive position, as the number of installations and potential retail users of our kiosks could be significantly reduced. See the risk factor below entitled, “Events outside of our control, including the current economic environment, has negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, consumers’ use of our products and services.”
 
Our business can be adversely affected by severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as earthquakes, fires, power failures, telecommunication loss and terrorist attacks.
 
A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results. While we have taken steps to protect the security of critical business processes and systems and have established certain back-up systems and disaster recovery procedures, any disruptions, whether due to inadequate back-up or disaster recovery planning, failures of information technology systems, interruptions in the communications network, or other factors, could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
In addition, our operational and financial performance is a direct reflection of consumer use of and the ability to operate and service our kiosks used in our business. Severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control can, for extended periods of time, significantly reduce consumer use of our products and services as well as interrupt the ability of our employees and third-party providers to operate and service our kiosks.
 
Our failure to meet consumer expectations with respect to pricing our products and services may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Demand for our products and services may be sensitive to pricing changes. We evaluate and update our pricing strategies from time to time, and changes we institute may have a significant impact on, among other things, our revenue and net income. 
 
We may be unable to attract new host locations, broaden current host relationships, and penetrate new markets and distribution channels.
 
In order to increase our kiosk installations, we need to attract new host locations, broaden relationships with current host locations, and develop operational efficiencies that make it feasible for us to penetrate low density markets and new distribution channels.  We may be unable to attract host locations or drive down costs relating to the manufacture, installation or servicing of our kiosks to levels that would enable us to operate profitably in lower density markets or penetrate new distribution channels. If we are unable to do so, our future financial performance could be adversely affected.
 
Payment of increased fees to host locations or other third party service providers could negatively affect our business results.
 
We face ongoing pricing pressure from our host locations to increase the commission fees we pay to them on our products and services or to make other financial concessions to win or retain their business. If we are unable to respond effectively to ongoing pricing-related pressures, we may fail to win or retain certain accounts. Our fee arrangements are based on our evaluation of unique factors with each retailer, such as total revenue, long-term, non-cancelable contracts, installation of our kiosks in high-traffic, geographic locations and new product and service commitments. Together with other factors, an increase in service fees paid, or other financial concessions made, to our retailers could significantly increase our direct operating expenses in future periods and harm our business.

Events outside of our control, including the current economic environment, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, consumers’ use of our products and services.
 
Our consumers’ use of many of our products and services is dependent on discretionary spending, which is affected by, among other things, economic and political conditions, consumer confidence, interest and tax rates, and financial and housing markets. With economic uncertainty still affecting potential consumers, we may be impacted by more conservative purchasing tendencies with fewer non-essential products and services purchased during the coming periods if the current economic environment continues. In addition, because our business relies in part on consumers initially visiting host locations to purchase products and services that are not necessarily our products and services, if consumers are visiting retailers less frequently and being more careful with their money when they do, these tendencies may also negatively impact our business.  Further, our ability to obtain additional funding in the future, if and as needed, through equity issuances or loans, or otherwise meet our current obligations to third parties, could be adversely affected if the economic environment continues to be difficult. In addition, the ability of third parties to honor their obligations to us could be negatively impacted, as retailers, suppliers and other parties deal with the difficult economic environment. Finally, there may be consequences that will ultimately result from the current economic conditions that are not yet known, and any one or more of these unknown consequences (as well as those currently being experienced) could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and liquidity, as well as our business generally.

Our future operating results may fluctuate.
 
Our future operating results will depend significantly on our ability to continue to drive new and repeat use of our kiosks, our ability to develop and commercialize new products and services, and our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and other third-party relationships into our operations. Our operating results could fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate based upon many factors, including:
 
·
fluctuations in revenue generated by kiosk businesses;
 
·
fluctuations in operating expenses, such as transaction fees and commissions we pay to our host locations;
 
·
our ability to establish or maintain effective relationships with significant partners, host locations and suppliers on acceptable terms;
 
·
the amount of service fees that we pay to our host locations;
 
·
the transaction fees we charge consumers to use our services;
 
·
the commercial success of our host locations, which could be affected by such factors as general economic conditions, severe weather or strikes;
 
·
the successful use and integration of assets and businesses acquired or invested in;
 
·
the level of product or price competition;
 
·
the timing and cost of, and our ability to develop and successfully commercialize, new or enhanced products and services;
 
·
activities of, and acquisitions or announcements by, competitors; and;
 
·
the impact from any impairment of inventory, goodwill, fixed assets or intangibles related to our acquisitions and divestitures.
 

We depend upon third-party manufacturers, suppliers and service providers for our kiosks.
 
We depend on outside parties to manufacture our kiosks. We intend to continue to expand our installed base of kiosks. Such expansion may be limited by the manufacturing capacity of our third-party manufacturers and suppliers. Third-party manufacturers may not be able to meet our manufacturing needs in a satisfactory and timely manner. If there is an unanticipated increase in demand for our kiosks or our manufacturing needs are not met in a timely and satisfactory manner, we may be unable to meet demand due to manufacturing limitations which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we rely on third-party service providers for substantial support and service efforts that we currently do not provide directly.  Any failure by us to maintain our existing support and service relationships or to establish new relationships on a timely basis or on acceptable terms could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to our Securities
 
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
 
Since our common stock is thinly traded, its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
 
 
·
trading volume of our shares; 
 
·
number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; 
 
·
changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts; 
 
·
new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; 
 
·
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; 
 
·
conditions or trends in our business industries; 
 
·
announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; 
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel; 
 
·
sales of our common stock; and 
 
·
general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies.
 
The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, securities class action litigation has often been initiated following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, our shares are currently traded on the OTC QB and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

Our common stock may be considered “penny stock”, further reducing its liquidity.
 
Our common stock may be considered “penny stock”, which will further reduce the liquidity of our common stock.  Our common stock is likely to fall under the definition of “penny stock,” trading in the common stock is limited because broker-dealers are required to provide their customers with disclosure documents prior to allowing them to participate in transactions involving the common stock. These disclosure requirements are burdensome to broker-dealers and may discourage them from allowing their customers to participate in transactions involving our common stock, thereby further reducing the liquidity of our common stock.
 
"Penny stocks” are equity securities with a market price below $5.00 per share other than a security that is registered on a national exchange, included for quotation on the NASDAQ system or whose issuer has net tangible assets of more than $2,000,000 and has been in continuous operation for greater than three years. Issuers who have been in operation for less than three years must have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000.
 
Rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act require broker-dealers engaging in transactions in penny stocks, to first provide to their customers a series of disclosures and documents including: 
 
 
A standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investment in penny stocks;
 
 
All compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction;
 
 
Current quotation prices and other relevant market data; and Monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.
 
These rules also require that a broker-dealer obtain financial and other information from a customer, determine that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for such customer and deliver a written statement to such customer setting forth the basis for this determination.

Our directors and executive officers will continue to exert significant control over our future direction, which could reduce the sale value of our Company.
 
As of April 10, 2015 our Board of Directors and our executive officers own approximately 35 percent of our outstanding common stock.  Accordingly, these stockholders, if they act together, will have considerable influence over matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership, which could result in a continued concentration of representation on our Board of Directors, may delay, prevent or deter a change in control and could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our assets.
 
Investors should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on our common stock, thereby depriving investors of yield on their investment.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock and intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support our operations and to finance expansion. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.  Such failure to pay a dividend will deprive investors of any yield on their investment in our common stock.
 
Our indemnification of officers and directors and limitations on their liability could limit our recourse against them.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary duties.  Stockholders therefore will have only limited recourse against these individuals.
 
If we fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Company to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in each Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 
10

 
We have identified our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses exists in our internal control over financial reporting.  The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, there may be errors in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and in the accompanying footnote disclosures that could require restatements. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and disclosure, which could negatively impact our stock price.

We do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We have additional common stock and preferred stock available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 600,000,000 shares of our common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The common stock and the preferred stock can be issued by the Board of Directors, without stockholder approval.  As of April 10, 2015, there are 13,590,732 shares of our common stock outstanding. Further, as of April 10, 2015, there are approximately 43 million instruments outstanding that can be converted into shares of our common stock.

Stock Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
Our stock transfer agent is Corporate Stock Transfer, 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite 430, Denver, CO 80209. We act as our own warrant agent for our outstanding warrants.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities
Shares issued for services: During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 165,000 common shares ranging from $0.21 to $0.25 per share to three firms that provided investor relations services. The shares of common stock issued in this transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Shares issued for Earn-Out - The U-Vend Canada merger agreement (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements) provided for an earn-out based on 2014 and 2015 gross revenue targets. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company’s board of directors recommended that the first year aggregate earn-out of 2,261,425 shares of common stock be paid to Paul Neelin and Diane Hope (in equal amounts) as the Company did not receive the anticipated level of financing. On April 7, 2015 the Company issued 1,130,713 common shares to Paul Neelin and 1,130,712 shares to Diane Hope in connection with the earn-out provision of the merger agreement.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 70,000 common shares (at share prices ranging from $0.16 to $0.18 per share) to two firms that provided business development and design services. The shares of common stock issued in this transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

10% Convertible Notes with Warrants: During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company issued two subordinated convertible notes totaling $21,000 with an interest rate of 10% and one year terms.  These notes are convertible into 70,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share.  The Company issued 35,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and 5 year terms in connection with this debt.

These securities were not registered under the Securities Act.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

Convertible Promissory Note:  On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note with a face value of $54,000, an interest rate of 8% and a September 23, 2015 maturity date.  This note has a variable conversion price based on 58% of the market price measured based on the average of the lowest 3 day trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading day period ending prior to the conversion.

These securities were not registered under the Securities Act.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

Warrants Issued with Secured Equipment Financing: On October 21, 2014, the Company entered into a $250,000 secured equipment financing in connection with the purchase of revenue producing and working capital assets for the southern California region.  The Company issued 200,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a three year expiration date in connection with this equipment financing. On January 8, 2015 the Company entered into a $65,750 secured equipment financing with the same lender in connection with the purchase of additional assets for the southern California region.  The Company issued 52,600 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a three year expiration date in connection with the 2015 equipment financing.

These warrant securities were not registered under the Securities Act.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

Share Repurchased by the Registrant
We did not purchase or repurchase any of our securities in the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, stockholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest over three years and expire in 5 to 10 years.

 
13

 
The Company records share based payments under the provisions of ASC 718. Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on certain assumptions. The Company estimated the expected volatility based on data used by peer group of public companies. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the equivalent U.S. Treasury bonds yield over the expected term. The Company has never paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2014 regarding equity compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

 
 
14

 
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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $2,003,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $3,777,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $934,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $1,843,000 at December 31, 2014. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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

Results of Operations: For the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

Revenue
The Company had $268,804 in revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and had no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has 104 electronic kiosks installed as of December 31, 2014; 76 in the greater Chicago, Illinois area and 28 in the southern California area. The kiosks in California were installed during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Operating Expenses
Total selling expenses for continuing operations were $414,148 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $0 in the year ended December 31, 2013.  The Company began its current business efforts with the acquisition of the U-Vend Canada business in January 2014.  The business acquired from U-Vend Canada was focused on the Chicago Illinois region and expanded to include southern California during the fourth quarter of 2014.  The Company has a depot and staffing to develop and service customers in each of these geographic regions.

Total general and administrative expenses for continuing operations were $1,271,840 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $339,885 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As noted above, the Company began its current business efforts with the acquisition of the U-Vend Canada in January 2014. The increase in general and administrative costs in 2014 reflects this business growth and the related costs of public reporting and stockholder support.  Stock compensation costs include expense of $89,207 for options granted in 2014, payment of services and fees that were settled in common shares and/or warrants during the year.  Change in contingent consideration represents $261,241 for increase in the value of the obligation to certain of the U-Vend stockholders as defined in the merger agreement.  Professional fees and consultants incurred in 2014 are associated with the various audit, legal and financial services firm engaged in 2014 related to the business development and registration statements required by various debt agreements.

Other Expenses
Other expenses include: amortization incurred on the debt obligations of the Company, interest expense, gain on debt extinguishment, changes to fair market value of warrant liabilities that include “down round” provisions, and other non-operating items. Net other expenses from continuing operations were $480,469 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $68,209 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $473,959, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $61,369 in connection with debt obligations, including debt acquired in the merger and the senior convertible debt agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded amortization on debt discount of $56,250, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $7,167. The increase in amortization during 2014 reflects additional borrowings with conversion features and warrant coverage.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $156,740 compared to $35,882 in the year ended December 31, 2013.  The increase in interest expense in 2014 is associated with the borrowings under the senior convertible debt, convertible debt acquired from U-Vend Canada, new convertible notes, promissory notes and lease obligations entered into in 2014.

The Company recognized net gains of $114,266 on extinguishment of certain debt instruments in the year ended December 31, 2014 resulting from restructuring to certain of the terms of certain of the Cobrador notes.  The notes that had terms restructured were issued on June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013 each of which had a conversion price of $0.20 per share and were convertible into 750,000 shares of common stock on date of issuance were amended and reissued as notes convertible into 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to an adjustment with a minimum adjusted conversion price of $0.03 per share. In connection with the reissued notes, the Company amended the warrants that had been granted in connection with the originally issued note agreements dated June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013. Series A warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.20 per share and Series B warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.24 per shares were amended and reissued.  The 4.5 million reissued Series A warrants have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and the 4.5 million reissued Series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.06 per share. For all 2013 and 2014 Cobrador notes the Series A warrants were amended to increase the term from 15 months to 24 months.  The Series B term remained at 5 years. The amendment and reissuance of the three notes and warrants has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the original notes and warrants and the reissuance of the replacement notes and warrants.  

The Company evaluates financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants the Company has issued have a “down round provision” as a result the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized income on the changes to market value of warrant liabilities in the amount of approximately $99,190.

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 December 31, 2014.  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.

Discontinued Operations
In 2013 the Company realized net income of $19,174 from the LegalStore.com operations that were sold in the first quarter of 2013. The total purchase price of $210,241 was offset by the net assets and liabilities transferred of $206,402 generating a $3,839 as a gain on the sale of LegalStore.com.  

Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,002,586 compared to a net loss of $387,281 incurred in 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,843,000 compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $131,000 at December 31, 2013. The increase in the working capital deficiency is due to 2014 working capital and lease borrowings since December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, our operating activities from continuing operations used cash of approximately $502,000 compared to approximately $157,000 used during the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, used approximately $899,000 of cash. Changes in working capital items provided approximately $397,000 of cash during the year ended December 31, 2014. The principal component of the working capital change since 2013 is an increase in our accounts payable, accrued expenses and amounts due to officers. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our operating losses from continuing operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately $331,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $198,000 of cash.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we received $198,500 in new senior convertible notes net of financing costs, $50,000 in new promissory notes and $200,000 in 10% subordinated convertible notes. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we had approximately $176,000 of senior convertible notes net of financing costs and $50,000 from a director.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we incurred a loss of $2,002,586 during the year ended December 31, 2014, have incurred accumulated losses totaling $3,776,848, have a stockholders’ deficiency of $934,305 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,843,000 at December 31, 2014. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To allow us to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis, we will need to raise additional financing to fund our operations.  Should additional financing not be available, we will have to negotiate with our lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully restructure our debt obligations in the event we fail to obtain additional financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the last three years as we are generally able to pass the increase in our material and labor costs to our customers, or absorb them as we improve the efficiency of our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  The consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2014, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions.  Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired or as additional information is obtained.  The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Business Combinations
Business combinations are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Under the guidance, consideration transferred, including contingent consideration, and the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed then a gain on acquisition is recorded. FASB ASC 805 requires that for each business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the acquirer and the existence of a controlling financial interest shall be used to identify the acquirer in a business combination.  In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer is usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, if a business combination has occurred, but it is not clear which of the combining entities is the acquirer, U.S. GAAP requires considering additional factors in making that determination.  These factors include the relative voting rights of the combined entity, the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, the composition of senior management in the combined entity and the relative size of the combining entities. Under the guidance, all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The application of business combination accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, promissory notes payable, capital lease obligations, contingent consideration liability, revolving note from related party, convertible notes payables, and senior convertible notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments, except for derivative warrant liabilities, contingent consideration liability, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature 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 December 31, 2014, since the underlying shares are trading in an active, observable market, the fair value measurement qualifies as a Level 1 input. The determination of the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities 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.

 
18

 
Fair Value of Debt
Under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company determined the notes payable are liabilities reported at fair value because the notes payable 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 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.

Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future.

The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2014 or 2013. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
 
Share-Based Payments
We record our common shares issued based on the value of the shares issued or consideration received, including cash, services rendered or other non-monetary assets, whichever is more readily determinable.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer  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 annual report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses described below exists in our internal control over financial reporting based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer and our chief financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the 1992 COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.
 
Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses exists in our internal control over financial reporting.  The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  To address the material weaknesses we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).  Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the year ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The principal occupations for at least the past five years of each of our directors and executive officers are as follows:
 
Raymond Meyers founded U-Vend, Inc. (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc.) in March 2007 and has been Chief Executive Officer and President since the Company’s inception.  Mr. Meyers founded and operated several technology-based companies, with the most recent one being eBoz, Inc., an Internet marketing tools company, which he operated from November 2001 to April 2005 and sold to Web.com (Nasdaq GM: WWWW), formerly Website Pros, Inc.,  in April 2005.  From April 2005 to December 2006 he was an employee of Web.com holding the position of General Manager, eBoz Division.  He was previously (from December 1996 to December 1999) CEO and President of ProtoSource Corporation, a NASDAQ listed company.  He is a graduate of Rutgers University with continuing education at UCLA. We believe that as a result of his service as our Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer since inception, which adds historical knowledge, operational expertise and continuity to our board of directors, and his extensive corporate management experience, including serving as the chief executive officer of a publically-held company, he  provides the board with a deep understanding of all aspects of our business, both strategically and operationally, and therefore should serve on our board.
  
Paul Neelin founded U-Vend Canada Inc. in 2009 which was subsequently acquired U-Vend, Inc. in January 2014.  Mr. Neelin serves as the Company’s Chief Operations Officer and is responsible for approving new product development, assisting in strategic acquisitions, managing brand partner relationships, and overseeing national and international growth.  He offers a unique blend of executive acumen with over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience with several successful ventures. These include food and beverage design businesses and operations as both a franchisee and franchisor.  He was the Founder of a design and manufacturing company that designed and developed a series of mobile trailers taking brands to non-traditional venues.  Mr. Neelin successfully developed mobile trailers for McDonald's worldwide (Japan, Amsterdam, three Walt Disney Parks). Mobile trailers and carts were also designed for Coca-Cola, Kodak, Mr. Sub, Hagen Daz, and Labatt's breweries.  He was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the establishment of U-Vend.  We believe that as a result of his service as the Founder of U-Vend Canada Inc., Mr. Neelin possesses invaluable historical knowledge and operational expertise, and therefore should serve on our board.

Kathleen A. Browne is a CPA and a senior financial executive with thirteen years of “Big Four” public accounting experience and over twenty years in executive/officer level finance positions. Prior to joining U-Vend, Inc., Kathleen was owner of Browne Consulting, a financial and accounting advisory firm she founded in 2007. Over the past two decades, Kathleen has provided leadership and guidance in executive level positions for some of the world’s largest and most respected companies including, Paychex, Inc. a NASDAQ-listed payroll services company, W.R. Grace & Co., a global leader in the production and sale of specialty chemicals and materials and Bausch & Lomb, one of the world’s largest suppliers of eye health products. Ms. Browne attended St. John Fisher in Pittsford, NY and graduated with a BS Accounting in 1977.

Alexander Orlando holds the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for Eagle International Institute, Inc. from March, 2008 to Present.  He was Vice President for eBoz, Inc., an Internet marketing tools company, from January 2000 to December 2007, Senior Executive for ITT Industries-Goulds Pumps from August 1998 to December 1999, General Manager and Controller for Foley-PLP from Jan 1995 to Aug 1998,   Managing Partner of Wagner's Tax and Consulting Services and owner of several Subway Sandwich Franchises and Real Estate Investments from 1995 to Present.  He is a graduate of Ithaca College with a BS in Finance and Accounting, with continuing education at Geneseo State College.  We believe Mr. Orlando should serve on our board of directors based on the perspective he brings to our board of directors from his exposure to the internal and external financial requirements and controls of both large and smaller technology companies, and the unique perspective he brings to the our board of directors from his entrepreneurial experiences.

 
21

 
Patrick White was Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Document Security Systems, Inc. (“DSS”) from August 2002 to December 2012.  In addition, Mr. White was President of DSS from August 2002 until June 2006 and was Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSS from August 2002 until January 2008.  DSS is an NYSE AMEX listed company. Mr. White received his Bachelors of Science (Accounting) and Masters of Business Administration degrees from Rochester Institute of Technology.  We believe Mr. White is qualified to serve on our board of directors based on his extensive corporate management experience, including serving as the chief executive officer of a publically-held company (DSS), and his experience with the organizational challenges involved with becoming and operating as a publically-held company.
 
Philip Jones is a CPA and holds an MBA from Rochester Institute of Technology.  He has 15 years of experience in both the public and private accounting and finance sectors, including positions at Arthur Anderson  from 1996 to 1998 and PricewaterhouseCoopers from  2003 to  2004 , American Fiber Systems (Controller) from  2000 to  2003, and 2004 to 2005 , and Zapata (NYSE:ZAP)(Accounting Manager and Director of Finance) from  1998  to  2000 . Mr. Jones joined Document Security Systems, Inc. ("DSS") in 2005 as its Corporate Controller and has been its Chief Financial Officer since 2009.  DSS is an NYSE AMEX listed company.  We believe Mr. Jones should serve as a member of our board of directors based on his experience in the public and private accounting and finance sectors, and being Chief Financial Officer at a publically traded company (DSS), which provides our board of directors with insights into the areas of corporate finance, cash management, and SEC reporting requirements.
 
Term of Office
Directors are elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified.  Annual meetings of the stockholders, for the selection of directors to succeed those whose terms expire, are held at such time each year as designated by the Board of Directors.  Officers of the Company are elected by the Board of Directors, which is required to consider that subject at its first meeting after every annual meeting of shareholders.  Each officer holds office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 We do not have any committees of the Board of Directors.  We consider a majority of our Board members (consisting of Messrs. Jones, Orlando, and White) to be independent directors under NYSE AMEX rules.
 
Corporate Governance
 We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. As we grow and evolve as a SEC registrant, our corporate governance structure is expected to be enhanced.

Director Compensation
Our non-employee directors do not currently receive cash compensation for their services as directors although they are provided reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.  In order to attract and retain qualified persons to our Board, in July 2011, we granted our non-employee directors stock options through our Equity Incentive Plan.  Each non-employee director received 2,500 stock options at a strike price of $60.00, vesting equally over a three year period, and with an expiration date of ten years from date of grant. Directors were not compensated during the year ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Equity Incentive Plan 
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, stockholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” and “non-statutory stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, together with the grant of bonus stock and stock appreciation rights, at the discretion of our Board of Directors.  Incentive stock options are issuable only to our eligible officers, directors and key employees. Non-statutory stock options are issuable only to our non-employee directors and consultants. Upon stockholder approval of the Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock or appreciation rights may be issued under the Plan.  The Plan will be administered by our full Board of Directors.  Under the Plan, the Board will determine which individuals shall receive options, grants or stock appreciation rights, the time period during which the rights may be exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the rights and the option price.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has 360,650 options outstanding under the Plan to employees, directors and outside consultants.
 
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that liability of directors to us for monetary damages is eliminated to the full extent provided by Delaware law. Under Delaware law, a director is not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for authorizing the unlawful payment of a dividend or other distribution on our capital stock or the unlawful purchases of our capital stock; (iv) a violation of Delaware law with respect to conflicts of interest by directors; or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

The effect of this provision in our Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our stockholders’ rights (through stockholders’ derivative suits) to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including any breach resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (v) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of our security holders to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care or any liability for violation of the federal securities laws.

Director Independence

Orlando, White and Jones) to be independent directors under NYSE AMEX rules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
U-Vend, Inc. and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of U-Vend, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Internet Media Services, Inc.) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U-Vend, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that U-Vend, Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, U-Vend, Inc. and Subsidiaries has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and, as of December 31, 2014, has negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

U-VEND, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $2,003,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014, has incurred accumulated losses totaling approximately $3,777,000, has a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $934,000 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $1,843,000 at December 31, 2014. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company needs to raise additional financing to fund the Company’s operations for 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 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty
 
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 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.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired or as additional information is obtained.

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 December 31. 2014. No such reserve was necessary at December 31, 2013.

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 approximately $68,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014.  There was no depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 2013.

 
F-7

 
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 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.  The amount of any impairment is dependent on the performance of the business which is dependent upon a number of variables which cannot be predicted with certainty.

Common Shares Issued and Earnings Per Share - Common shares issued are recorded based on the value of the shares issued or consideration received, including cash, services rendered or other non-monetary assets, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share reflect the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately 43 million (8 million at December 31, 2013) shares potentially issuable under convertible debt agreements, options, warrants and contingent shares that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the Company’s losses during the periods presented.

Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company issued: 100,000 shares at $0.05 per share for conversion of $5,000 principal on outstanding debt, 625,000 shares in connection with warrant exercises at prices ranging from $0.05 - $0.12 per share, 70,000 shares for $11,350 in services provided by two consultants, 382,917 shares in settlement of $82,282 of lease obligations at share prices ranging from $0.21 to $0.22 per share and 2,261,425 shares in connection with earn out provision to two former shareholders of U-Vend Canada (see Note 2.)

Preferred Stock Authorized - The Company has authorization for “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to common stock. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, revolving note from related party, convertible notes payables, and senior convertible notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments, except for derivative warrant liabilities, contingent consideration liability, convertible notes payable and senior convertible notes payable, since they are short term in nature or they are payable on demand.  The senior convertible notes and the convertible notes payable are recorded at face value net of any unamortized discounts, based upon the number of underlying convertible shares. The fair value was estimated using the trading price on December 31, 2014 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 December 31, 2014. (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.

 
F-8

 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

·
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

·
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

·
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Revenue Recognition -   The Company has 104 electronic kiosks installed as of December 31, 2014; 76 in the greater Chicago, Illinois area and 28 in the southern California area. The kiosks in California were installed during the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue is recognized at the time each vending transaction occurs, the payment method is approved and the product is disbursed from the machine.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future.

The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2014 or 2013. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.

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 annual 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. 

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants the Company has issued have a “down round provision.” As a result, the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations.

Share-Based Compensation Expense - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Stock Compensation.” This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.

In accordance with FASB ASC 505 “Equity”, the measurement date for non-forfeitable awards to nonemployees that vest immediately, is the date the award is issued.

Reclassifications - Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to current period presentation. These classifications had no effect on the results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

 
F-9

 
Accounting Pronouncement - In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard in 2014 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,”Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, subsequently extended to December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, ”Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity will be required to provide certain disclosures if conditions of events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined when we will adopt the standard.
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


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. At December 31, 2014 the consolidated balance sheet reflects a liability estimated in the amount of $473,289 (of which $226,866 is reflected in current liabilities and $246,423 is reflected in noncurrent liabilities) in regard to this contingent consideration.  During the period from merger date to December 31, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $261,000 expense related to the fair value adjustment and accretion of contingent consideration, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Subsequent to December 31, 2014, 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.

Allocation of Purchase Price - The purchase price was determined in accordance with the accounting treatment of the merger as a business combination in accordance with the Business Combination Topic of the FASB ASC 805.  Under the guidance, the fair value of the consideration was determined and the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, U-Vend Canada, have been recorded at their fair values at the date of the acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values has been recorded as goodwill.
 
The fair value of the common stock issued to the former shareholders of U-Vend Canada is based on the adjusted split price of $0.14 share price of the 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. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company estimated the valuation of identifiable intangible assets that resulted from the merger.  The Company allocated $434,000 of the purchase price to intangible assets relating to the operating agreement with Mini Melts USA, which management estimates has a life of five years. Amortization expense is estimated to be $86,800 in 2014 and in each of the succeeding years until fully amortized in 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

In August 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") dated June 18, 2013 with Cobrador Multi-Strategy Partners, LP (“Investor” or "Cobrador") pursuant to which Cobrador will provide an aggregate of $400,000 financing through senior convertible notes and warrants. The financing and the related terms were dependent on several conditions including the Company's merger with U-Vend Canada, which was completed on January 7, 2014, and the Company effecting certain changes in its capital structure (see Note 1 regarding 1 for 200 reverse stock split).
 
On June 17, 2014 the Company and Cobrador entered into an agreement to extend the maturity of certain of the notes issued in 2013 at which time Cobrador consented to the extension of the maturity dates of the notes dated June 18, 2013 and August 21, 2013 to December 26, 2014.  Also, during the second quarter of 2014, certain of the terms of certain of the Cobrador notes were modified.  The notes issued on June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013 each of which had a conversion price of $0.20 per share and were convertible into 750,000 shares of common stock were amended and reissued as notes convertible into 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to an adjustment with a minimum adjusted conversion price of $0.03 per share. In connection with the reissued notes, the Company amended the warrants that had been granted in connection with the originally issued note agreements dated June 18, 2013, August 21, 2013 and October 17, 2013. Series A warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.20 per share and Series B warrants totaling 1.125 million with an exercise price of $0.24 per shares were amended and reissued.  The 4.5 million reissued Series A warrants have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and the 4.5 million reissued Series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.06 per share. For all 2013 and 2014 Cobrador notes the Series A warrants were amended to increase the term from 15 months to 24 months.  The Series B term remained at 5 years. The amendment and reissuance of the three notes and warrants has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the original notes and warrants and the reissuance of the replacement notes and warrants. The extinguishment of the original notes amounted to $121,898 which is reflected in gain on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations.

On December 31, 2014, the Company and Cobrador entered into a modification to the Senior Convertible Notes and the associated Series A warrants issued with the Cobrador Notes dated June 18, 2013 through December 2, 2014.  The Company and Cobrador agreed to extend the maturity dates of the underlying principal on the Cobrador Notes aggregating $400,000 in outstanding principal to December 31, 2015. The parties agree that the interest earned on the Notes will continue at 7% per annum through December 31, 2015.  The expiration date for each of the Series A warrants granted in connection with the Cobrador Notes (during the period from June 18, 2013 through December 2, 2014) have been extended by twelve (12) months to dates ranging from June 18, 2016 through December 2, 2017.  The effective date of this modification to the Cobrador Notes and Series A warrants shall be October 17, 2014. The remaining terms and conditions of the Cobrador Stock Purchase Agreement, Convertible Notes and the warrants are not modified and remain the same.

As of December 31, 2014, total outstanding Senior Convertible Notes had a face value of $377,500 and is presented net of unamortized debt discounts of $58,486, resulting in a carrying amount of $319,014 ($56,249 in 2013). During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately $385,000 and $56,000, respectively, was amortized and recorded as amortization of debt discount. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company issued two senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000 along with Series A and B warrants to acquire common shares under the SPA terms.

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 recorded by the Company at December 31, 2014.  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 all outstanding warrants issued in connection with this Cobrador SPA aggregate $303,648 as of December 31, 2014. The fair value of the warrants was determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and the Monte Carlo modeling valuations using volatility assumptions. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.
 
Financing costs associated with the Senior Convertible Notes and $50,000 of the Subordinated Convertible Note payable (see Note 4) are included in deferred financing costs on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective notes. Amortization of financing costs in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $61,369 and $7,167 respectively.

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

2014 Stock Purchase Agreement with 10% Convertible Notes and Warrants
During 2014, the Company issued four 10% subordinated convertible promissory notes: $75,000 is due and payable on August 25, 2015, $50,000 is due and payable on August 13, 2015, $10,000 is due and payable on October 30, 2015 and $11,000 is due and payable on December 12, 2015. The principal on these notes is convertible into common shares at the rate of $0.30 per share. In connection with these borrowings the Company granted a total of 243,334 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share and 5 year terms. The Company allocated $46,592 of the proceeds received to debt discount based on the computed fair value of the notes and the warrants issued.  The warrants issued have a “down round provision” and as a result, are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes and valued at $4,481, reflecting debt discount and warrant liability.  The resulting fair value allocated to the debt components was used to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of the subordinated convertible notes.  This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $42,111 recorded to additional paid in capital.  Amortization on debt discount of $17,315 was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2014.  The carrying value of these subordinated convertible notes was $118,723 net of $22,277 debt discount as of December 31, 2014. The fair value of the warrant liability aggregates $3,874 as of December 31, 2014.
 
 
F-13

 

The debt conversion price on the subordinated convertible notes issued in 2014 are subject to certain anti-dilution protection; for example, if the Company issues shares for a consideration less than the applicable conversion price, the conversion price is reduced to such amount. The lenders agreed to restrict their ability to convert the subordinated convertible note and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by the lenders and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion exceeds 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. However, this limitation does not preclude the lenders from converting notes payable into common stock after selling shares owned into the market. The Company has provided for piggy-back registration rights on any registration statement covering 110% of the maximum number of shares underlying these notes and warrants. The 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 includes penalty prepayments 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. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $22,600 loss on change in fair value for a total fair value in the amount of $75,600 at December 31, 2014.
 
U-Vend Canada Convertible Notes
The Company acquired two convertible 18% notes payable in Canadian dollars with a fair value of $148,438 (U.S. dollars) in connection with the U-Vend Canada merger on January 7, 2014. As of December 31, 2014 these convertible notes have a carrying value of $108,750.  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 are currently evaluating 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 Company recognized a gain of $23,438 upon maturity of two convertible notes during the year ended December 31, 2014 when it was determined that the most likely outcome will be cash repayment.  During the period from the date of the merger through December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an $18,461 unrealized gain on foreign currency.

Promissory Notes Payable
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to former employee of U-Vend Canada.  The original amount of this note was $10,512 has a term of 3 years and accrues interest at 17% per annum.  The total debt outstanding on this promissory note at December 31, 2014 was $6,232.

 
F-14

The carrying value of this note at December 31, 2014 was $10,000.  The Company and the lender agreed to a revised maturity date on this promissory note and has extended the maturity to June 30, 2015.  In connection with this new repayment date, the interest rate on the promissory note have been modified to 9.5%.

The agreement includes a put/call option that allows the Lender to put 50% of the equipment back or the Company to call for $125,000 at the end of year one.

During the third quarter of 2014, the director exercised his rights to convert the principal on two convertible notes with a combined principal balance of $100,000 in to 416,666 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the remaining $7,632 unamortized debt discount was expensed and is included within the (gain) on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2014 all principal on notes to this director had been satisfied.  Unpaid accrued interest of $8,965 is reflected in accrued interest at December 31, 2014.

NOTE 5. REVOLVING NOTE FROM RELATED PARTY

Revolving Credit Agreement
The Company had a revolving credit agreement with Mr. Raymond Meyers, a stockholder and chief executive officer of the Company. This credit agreement allowed borrowings up to $282,000, and expired on June 30, 2014. There was no outstanding balance on the credit agreement as of December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.  This borrowing had an annual interest of 6% above one year LIBOR (6.6% as of December 31, 2013), and was secured by all of the assets of the Company.

In September 2013, Mr. Meyers requested payment of $86,591 of the outstanding revolving credit balance in newly issued common stock of the Company, which the Company’s Board of Director’s approved.  The terms of the conversion were established and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to be the average lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock on the prior ten business days.  On September 17, 2013, the repayment amount of $86,591was converted to 181,303 shares.  On December 16 and December 30, 2013, Mr. Meyers converted $80,746 and $145,980, respectively of principal and accrued interest outstanding to shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the revolving credit agreement.  The outstanding interest and principal at these dates were converted at $0.16 per share, which reflected the average lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock for the prior ten days as prescribed in the agreement.  As a result, an aggregate of 1,402,375 common shares were issued to Mr. Meyers in connection with these conversions.

Amounts due to Officers
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $380,442 in unpaid salary, commissions and benefits payable to its three executive officers. This amount also includes a promissory note payable to Paul Neelin (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer) which has an outstanding balance of $45,257 as of December 31, 2014, a term of 4 years and accrues interest at 20% per annum.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

On September 12, 2013 and December 19, 2013, the majority of the stockholders of the Company approved in two written consents, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000, then from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000, respectively.  The increase in authorized shares was affected pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  

As of December 31, 2013, there were not adequate authorized shares to satisfy the current obligations upon conversion or exercise of all equity instruments issued by the Company.  As a result, the warrants were measured at fair market value and presented in the consolidated balance sheet as liabilities. Warrants issued in and prior to 2012 are significantly out of the money and diluted therefore, management has deemed the fair value of these to be de minimis. The fair value of warrants issued in 2014 and 2013 were 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 in 2014 and Black Scholes valuations in 2013 using multiple volatility assumptions.

The fair value of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014 has been determined based on the consideration of the enterprise value of the Company, the limited market of the shares issuable under the agreement and modeling of the Monte Carlo simulation using multiple volatility assumptions. Warrants issued in and prior to 2012 are significantly out of the money and diluted therefore, management has deemed the fair value of these to be de minimis. Due to certain unobservable inputs in the fair value calculations of the warrants, derivative warrant liabilities are classified as Level 3.  There were $214,609 derivative warrant liabilities issued during the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 7. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, stockholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest over three years and expire in 5 to 10 years.

The Company records share based payments under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation." Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company estimated the expected volatility based on data used by its peer group of public companies. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the equivalent U.S. Treasury bonds yield over the expected term. The Company has never paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.
 
The following shows the significant assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense for stock options and non-derivative warrants (see Note 6) granted during the year ended December 31, 2014:
 
   
Volatility
65%
Expected term
2 - 5 years
Risk-free interest rate
.50% - 2.00%
Expected dividend yield

The Company has approximately $2,475,000 and $886,000 in federal U.S. and Canadian net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), respectively, as well as $1,163,000 in U.S. state and $886,000 in Canadian provincial NOLs available to reduce future taxable income. These carryforwards begin to expire in year 2030. Due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future and utilize the NOLs before they expire, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset the NOLs, and the total net deferred tax assets, as well.
 
F-18

 
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ("Section 382") imposes limitations on the availability of a company's net operating losses and other corporate tax attributes as certain significant ownership changes occur.  As a result of the historical equity instrument issuances by the Company, a Section 382 ownership change may have occurred and a study will be required to determine the date of the ownership change, if any.  The amount of the Company's net operating losses and other tax attributes incurred prior to any ownership change may be limited based on the Company's value.  In addition, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of the shares of U-Vend Canada, the amount of U-Vend Canada’s NOLs incurred prior to the ownership change and those of its wholly-owned limited liability company, U-Vend USA LLC may be limited based on U-Vend Canada’s value at the date of acquisition.  A full valuation allowance has been established for the Company's deferred tax assets, including net operating losses and any other corporate tax attributes. 

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and Canada federal jurisdictions, the states of California, Florida, Illinois and New York, as well as the province of Ontario. The tax years 2011-2014 generally remain open to examination by the U.S. federal and state taxing authorities. In addition, the 2010 tax year is still open for the state of California, Canadian federal and province of Ontario taxing authorities.

NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 8, 2013 with Western Principal Partners LLC (“WPP”), a California Limited Liability Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, WPP purchased from the Company all the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LegalStore.com, a Delaware Corporation. LegalStore.com was operating the Company’s e-commerce business.  The Agreement was approved by a written consent by the majority of the Company's stockholders.  In consideration of the sale, WPP paid the Company $95,000 at close and assumed certain operating liabilities. Operating liabilities included, but are not limited to existing operating agreements, trade payables and certain tax obligations. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of consideration received for the stock of LegalStore.com was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded in 2012 in the amount of $35,000, net of income tax effect. The Company used the proceeds for payment of its payables and for working capital purposes.
 
As a result of the board of directors committing to a plan to sell LegalStore.com, the related assets and liabilities were considered to be held for sale and were presented as discontinued operations on the balance sheets as December 31, 2012. In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” the Company presented the results of LegalStore.com operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Capital Lease Obligations
In connection with the merger on January 7, 2014, the Company acquired the capital assets and outstanding lease obligations of U-Vend Canada.  In 2013, the Company and U-Vend Canada jointly entered into a term sheet dated October 15, 2013 with a financing company (“Lessor”) to provide for equipment lease financing in the aggregate amount of $1 million. All amounts borrowed under the lease financing agreement are secured by the leased equipment. The Company will use this financing to acquire certain equipment to be used in direct income producing activities. Since the inception of this lease financing agreement, the Company has acquired leased equipment for $465,500 pursuant to financing by the Lessor. As per the terms of the agreement with the Lessor, the Company is obligated to pay annual lease payments as summarized below and also buy the equipment from the Lessor at the lease maturity in 2016 and 2017. Accordingly, the lease has been treated as a capital lease.

Equipment held under capital leases at December 31, 2014 had a cost of $465,500 and accumulated depreciation of $55,406. Total depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $67,703 and $0 respectively, including equipment held under capital leases.

The Lessor was induced to extend the equipment lease line with a grant of 986,250, 246,563 and 483,889 common stock warrants with a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.12, $0.20, and $0.24 per share during October 2013, March 2014 and May 2014, respectively. The warrants related to the October 2013 and March 2014 grants were determined to have a fair value of $68,190, which was recorded as a discount to the capital lease obligation. The warrants were initially recorded as derivative warrant liabilities due to inadequate shares authorized to accommodate the exercise, however were reclassified to additional paid-in capital when adequate shares were authorized due to the reverse split on May 16, 2014.
 
The Company and the Lessor entered into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of 110% of common stock underlying the Warrants. The Company was required to file a registration statement within 45 days after completion of the acquisition of U-Vend Canada and meet an effectiveness deadline of 90 days after the closing date of the acquisition, 120 days if the Securities and Exchange Commission provides comment.  The Company met the filing and effectiveness criteria, as extended by the Lessor on April 2014, on November 21, 2014 which resulted in a penalty of $7,922 recorded by the Company at December 31, 2014.  The Lessor 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.
