NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

March 31, 2015

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed on March 18, 2015, should be read in conjunction with this report.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements for 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (“IMS” or “the Company”) and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries Continental Trade Exchange, Ltd., National Trade Association, Inc., INLM CN Inc. and INLM Holdings, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Sources and Cost of Revenue

 

The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional cash dollars and in IMS trade dollars.

 

Cash Revenue

 

Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, annual and monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.

 

Trade Dollar Revenue

 

Trade revenue is similarly generated through initial membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts, and event fees. Occasionally the Company will accept a favorable trade ratio in lieu of a cash fee.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

All revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Transaction fees are recognized upon receipt of transactional information accumulated by our systems or reported by our clients.

 

Membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges, and other fees are billed monthly to members' accounts, and are recognized in the month the revenue is earned.

 

Use of Trade Dollars

 

The Company uses earned trade dollars to purchase various goods and services required in its operations. All barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair value of the products or services received.

 

Occasionally, the Company sells IMS trade dollars for US dollars. The cash received in these sales is included in gross revenue and the carrying value of the trade dollars up to the value of the cash received is netted against revenue, with any excess cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

7
 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not anticipate that the recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will materially impact the Company’s financial condition.

 

NOTE 2 – CASH

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC insurance of approximately $287,000. No losses have been incurred related to this credit risk exposure.

 

NOTE 3 – DEBT

 

In January, 2015, the Company issued a $50,000 note payable to an officer for cash. The terms of the note call for quarterly interest payments at 8% for two years, after which the note is payable in full.

 

In February, 2015, notes payable to private investors, with outstanding balances totaling $275,000, were renewed for two years. The notes are now due in February, 2017, and call for payments of quarterly interest at 9%.

 

The Company’s indebtedness as of March 31, 2015 includes the following:

 

Lines of credit payable to financial institutions, due in 2015  $190,000 
Convertible notes payable to related parties, mature in 2016 and 2017   230,000 
Non-convertible notes payable to related parties, maturing in 2015   350,000 
Notes payable to third parties, $597,638 due in 2015   2,199,260 
     Total indebtedness   2,969,260 
 Less current maturities, including credit lines and short term debt   (1,048,111)
Long term debt, net of current maturities  $1,921,149 

 

Additionally, the Company has lines of credit (including the one described above) with various financial institutions with unused borrowing capacity totaling approximately $357,000 as of March 31, 2015, which may be drawn as needed.

 

A financial institution has issued a $65,000 standby letter of credit to a landlord in lieu of a security deposit.

 

NOTE 4 – EQUITY

 

Common Stock Guarantee Repurchase

 

No repurchases were made in the first quarter of 2015, under the remaining common stock guarantee agreement.

 

Share Buyback Program

 

In accordance with a board approved stock buyback plan, during the first three months of 2015, the Company purchased 7,056 shares, at a cost of $42,184, in open market and private transactions. The repurchased shares were placed in treasury.

 

Treasury Stock Retirements

 

There were no retirements in the first three months of 2015.

 

Stock Issued for Services

 

No stock has been issued for services in 2015.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan under which certain officers, key employees, or prospective employees may purchase shares of the Company's stock at an established exercise price, which shall not be less than the fair market value at the time the option is granted. The final exercise date is any time prior to the five-year anniversary of the first exercise date.

 

There are no options outstanding at March 31, 2015.

 

8
 

 

Stock Warrants

 

No warrants were issued in the current period.

 

There are no warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

The difference between the combined Federal and state statutory rate and the effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 relates to the difference in timing of deduction for certain expenses, primarily bad debts, amortization of acquired membership lists, and depreciation of property and equipment, and the rates at which deferred taxes were originally established.

 

NOTE 6 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in litigation, both as plaintiff and defendant. Management either litigates or settles claims after evaluating the merits of the actions and weighing the costs of settling vs. litigating. There are currently no open litigation matters which the Company feels will result in a material loss.

 

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In May, 2015, a $60,000 convertible note payable to a relative of the chairman matured and was repaid.

 

In accordance with the share buyback program described above, from April 1 to April 30, 2015, the Company purchased 2,200 shares in open market and private transactions at a cost of $13,088. The shares were placed in treasury.

ITEM 2    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

In addition to current and historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements.  These statements relate to our future operations, prospects, potential products, services, developments, business strategies or our future financial performance.  These statements can generally be identified by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Actual events or results may differ materially.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

Operations

 

Revenue was 1.9% higher in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014.

 

Return to Shareholders

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, 7,056 shares of the Company’s stock have been repurchased under the Company’s stock buyback plan.  

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased 1.9% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, however we continue to see the residual effects of uncertain economic and regulatory climates on the Company’s primary members, small businesses.

 

Expenses

 

Operating expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $2,965,399, an increase of $94,918 or 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2014. This increase is primarily due to increased employee and administrative costs as a result of expansion of internal and external sales forces and franchise operations.

 

The Company generated an operating loss of $102,938 for the quarter, compared to an operating loss of $61,284 in 2014.  After adjusting for interest and income taxes, there was a net loss for the quarter of $73,703 compared to a net loss of $42,319 in the first quarter of 2014.  

 

EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

 

Adjustments to Reconcile GAAP Net Income to EBITDA

 

   2015   2014 
Net income (loss)  $(73,703)  $(42,319)
Interest expense   44,977    49,918 
Income tax expense (benefit)   (74,203)   (72,944)
Depreciation and amortization   327,364    336,181 
EBITDA  $224,435   $270,836 

 

10
 

 

LIQUIDITY, SOURCES OF CAPITAL AND LINES OF CREDIT

 

On March 31, 2015, there was a working capital deficit of approximately $232,000 compared to a deficit of approximately $543,000 at March 31, 2014. A working capital deficit at the end of the first quarter is typical for the Company due to the somewhat cyclical nature of the business. We believe that current cash needs can be met with the present cash balance and from working capital generated over the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has letters of credit with various financial institutions with unused borrowing capacity of approximately $357,000, which may be drawn as needed.

  

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for IMS include the following:

 

REVENUE SOURCES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional cash dollars and in IMS trade dollars.

 

Cash Revenue

 

Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, annual and monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.

 

Trade Dollar Revenue

 

Trade revenue is similarly generated through initial membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees and event fees. Occasionally the Company will accept a favorable trade ratio in lieu of a cash fee.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

All revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Transaction fees are recognized upon receipt of transactional information accumulated by our systems or reported by our clients.

 

Membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges, and other fees are billed monthly to members' accounts, and are recognized in the month the revenue is earned.

 

Use of Trade Dollars

 

The Company uses earned trade dollars to purchase various goods and services required in its operations. All barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair value of the products or services received.

 

Occasionally, the Company sells IMS trade dollars for US dollars. The cash received in these sales is included in gross revenue and the carrying value of the trade dollars up to the value of the cash received is netted against revenue, with any excess cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

11
 

 

RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are stated at face value, net of the allowance for bad debts. Finance charges on receivables are calculated using the simple interest method on the amount outstanding.

 

The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that is management's best estimate of probable bad debts incurred as of the balance sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the accounts receivable, past collection experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the accounts receivable, and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The allowance is increased by provisions for bad debts charged against income and decreased by accounts written off as uncollectable.

 

GOODWILL AND MEMBERSHIP LISTS

 

Goodwill and membership lists are stated at cost and arise when IMS acquires another company or the assets of another trade exchange. Membership lists are amortized over the estimated life of ten years.

 

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets at least annually for impairment, or when facts and circumstances indicate impairment is probable. It is the Company’s policy to test impairment at the end of each year. Therefore, no impairment of goodwill or membership lists was recorded in the first three months of 2015.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Management does not anticipate that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements will materially impact the Company’s financial condition.

 

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities.

 

ITEM 3    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required by Smaller Reporting Companies.

 

ITEM 4    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)  and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2015.
