Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes and the discussions under “Application of Critical Accounting Policies,” which describes key estimates and assumptions we make in the preparation of our financial statements.
Overview
UMED Holdings, Inc. (“UMED”) was originally incorporated as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation (“Dynalyst”) under the laws of the State of Texas on March 13, 2002. On June 7, 2006, Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized number of common shares from Twenty Million (20,000,000) to Seventy Five Million (75,000,000) shares and authorized Twenty Five Million (25,000,000) shares of preferred stock.
In connection with the merger with Universal Media Corporation (“UMC”), a Nevada corporation, on August 17, 2009, the company changed its name to Universal Media Corporation. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and Universal Media Corporation is the acquiring company on the basis that Universal Media Corporation’s senior management became the entire senior management of the merged entity and there was a change of control of Dynalyst. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction was a recapitalization of Dyanlyst’s capital structure. In connection with the merger, Dynalyst issued 57,500,000 restricted common shares to stockholders of Universal Media Corporation for 100% of Universal Media Corporation.
On August 18, 2009, Dynalyst approved the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation and filed with the Texas Secretary of State to change the Company’s name to Universal Media Corporation and approved the increase in authorized shares to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 and 20,000,000 shares of preferred, par value $.0001.
On March 23, 2011, Universal Media Corporation approved the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation and filed with the Texas Secretary of State to change the Company’s name to UMED Holdings, Inc.
UMED Holdings, Inc. a Texas corporation, (hereinafter “UMED” or “the Company”) is a holding company with present interest in energy, mining and agriculture. The Company has established its corporate offices at 6628 Bryant Irvin Road, Suite 250, Fort Worth, Texas 76132 consisting of approximately 3,500 square feet.
Energy Interest
In August 2012, UMED acquired Greenway Innovative Energy,
Inc., filed a patent application, and is conducting research on Gas-to-Liquid (“GTL”) technology. The Technology
is based upon the Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) conversion system that was originally developed in Germany and has been operational
in various locations throughout the world since the early 1930s. Thousands of FT systems have operated during the last
80 years. More recently, and for a more sustained period, FT has been responsible for providing much of the motive energy
required to meet the needs of the Republic of South Africa, a country recognized as having pushed FT technology much further than
any other nation since the development of the process.
Greenway’s research has been centered on developing
a portable production-scale FT system (“the Portable Technology”) to accommodate the needs of smaller gas plays that
are increasingly beginning to characterize natural gas production within the US and elsewhere. Based on preliminary
estimates with new, improved and more efficient technology than previously projected, the Company is currently seeking funding
of $30 - $35 million to manufacture the initial (2,000 barrel per day) GTL unit near an existing pipeline to obtain the cleanest
gas possible source of natural gas and to avoid desulfurization on the first unit. The GTL system consists of a front-end reformer
to produce synthesis gas, the first step in the process, and then an FT unit that converts the synthesis gas to fuel. The resulting
liquid will be separated into diesel, jet fuel and other products for sale to blending facilities.
The company made progress toward the
development of a proprietary GTL system during 2014 as research conducted under the SRA established that a liquid product could
be produced under the right combination of temperature, pressure, and flow velocity. Deviations from these conditions resulted
in either catalyst activity loss, an undesired solid product (was), or an undesired gaseous product (methane).
These outcomes represented progress
toward the development of a proprietary, commercial GTL system that the company could market to harvest natural gas in a variety
of forms including pipeline, flare, stranded, vent, coal-bed methane, or bio-mass.
Mining Interest
In
December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000
shares of restricted common stock. Actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value realized. The
Company’s current expectations are that it will need approximately $2,000,000 to begin certified assaying ($500,000), development
of a mining plan with the BLM ($500,000) and acquire exploration equipment ($1,000,000). The total requirement will
not be known until reports from consulting geologist are received.
Mamaki Tea Farm
On May 2, 2012, the Company acquired 80% of Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc. (formerly Mamaki Tea & Extract, Inc.), a Nevada corporation in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and $150,000 in cash. On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc. for 500,000 shares of its restricted common stock and $127,000 in cash. The Company is currently seeking funding of $5,000,000 to acquire additional acreage, to build additional facilities, marketing and operations.
Technology Systems Services
In August 2012, the Company acquired 50% of Rig Support Group, Inc., (nka Logistix Technology Systems, Inc.) which is developing a unique and valuable technology and asset management Tool for the Oil and Gas Industry for 100,000 shares of restricted common stock. In February 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% for 500,000 shares of restricted common stock. We believe that this tool will provide independent rig owners and operating companies the ability to more accurately view and report on drilling operations and also allow for a more streamlined approach to processing purchase orders, receiving parts.
Going Concern
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated March 27, 2015, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we have been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and have been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors and loans from a related party. We experienced negative financial results as follows:

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to execute and deliver high quality, reliable connectivity services. Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit.
Results of Operations
Revenues for consolidated operations for the years ended December 2014 and 2013 were $24,581 and $15,479, respectively. The revenues were from the Company’s mamaki tea operations. The mamaki tea operations are not considered season, although sales will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the business grows. We reported consolidated net losses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $2,685,346 and $975,056, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, consolidated general and administrative costs of $2,092,746 consisted primarily of consulting fees of $77,350, management fees of $663,750, contract labor of $362,691, legal fees of $77,900, rent expense of $76,800, travel expenses of $24,563, transfer agent expenses of $10,823, and stock based compensation of $738,842.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated general and administrative costs of $618,075 consisted primarily of legal fees of $45,345, contract labor of $214,650, rent expense of $76,800, travel expenses of $68,400, transfer agent expenses of $12,537, and stock based compensation of $129,433.
Consolidated net loss was $2,685,346 or $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $975,056 or $0.01 per share for the year ended December 31, 2013. The weighted-average number of shares used in the earnings per share for the basic and dilutive computation was 138,442,759 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 127,324,190 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We do not currently have sufficient working capital to fund our future operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to continue our operations without adequate funding. We had $82,656 in cash, total assets of $2,155,214 and total liabilities of $4,189,845 as of December 31, 2014. Total stockholder’s deficit at December 31, 2014 was $2,034,631.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, cash used by operating activities was $968,641 and $672,426, respectively. Cash used by investing activities were $0 and $43,204 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,049,855 and $521,629, respectively, primarily from the sale of common stock and advances by shareholders.
We project that approximately $40 - $45 million of capital will be needed for all aspects of our business development. We project a need of $30 -$35 million to build the first portable GTL Unit, $5 million to develop our Mamaki Tea operations, $2 million for our mining exploration plan, and $3 million for general and administration. Further, until there is a fuller assessment of the mining property, we cannot determine the capital requirements and our operating budgets, if it is decided to pursue full exploration and development. We also will be subject to environmental expenses in connection with these activities. We will also have the expense of maintaining and defending any patents obtained, our claims, and seeking further patents and claims to be able to garner enough area to make our operations more viable, once we have shown appropriate mineral deposits present in our claims, if at all. After building the first GTL Unit and determining the commercialability of the mining claims, we will need substantial capital to build additional GTL Units, develop the mining claims, acquire plant and equipment and hire personnel.
We intend to seek equity forms of capital. We do not believe that debt financing is available to the company at this time, partly because we do not have any earnings with which to support debt service or maintain typical debt covenants. We have no firm arrangements for any capital at this time. Additionally, equity capital for small companies generally and small companies in the oil and gas and mining segments in particular, have a difficult time competing for investors because of the high risk at this stage of development and the fact that the investment is long term. The market for the transportation fuel and metals that the company believes may be derived from the GTL Units and from its mining claims also influences investment decisions, such that if there is strong demand, then funds may be relatively more available, but if market demand is not strong or the price of transportation fuels and the metals declines, funding may be unavailable. Additionally, the capital demands of the oil and gas industries present competition for funds for companies in the metals segment. The failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to first develop the mamaki tea farm to provide the source of revenue to maintain the Company’s viability, while seeking capital to construct
the first portable GTL Unit and explore and research its existing mining leases properties. As shown in the accompanying
consolidated financial statement, the Company has incurred a cumulative deficit of $6,730,300 and $4,044,454 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.
Commitments
Employment Contracts
In June 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer. The Agreements are for a term of 5 years with compensation of $180,000 the first year, $240,000 the second year, $300,000 the third year, $350,000 the fourth year and the fifth year at a salary commensurate with those in similar industries. The employment agreements also provide for the officers to received 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock annually for each year of the employment agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2014, with the consent of management, the Company accrued $595,000 towards the employment agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2013, management agreed to eliminate $1,221,327of their accrued compensation due under their employment agreements, which reduced general and administration expense by $321,328 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
In August 2012, the Company entered into employment agreements with the president and chairman of the board of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. for a term of 5 years with compensation of $90,000 per year. In June of 2014, the president’s employment agreement was amended to increase his pay to $180,000. During the year ended December 31, 2014, with their consent, the Company accrued $168.700 towards the employment agreements. At December 31, 2013, Greenway’s management agreed to eliminate $107,500 of their accrued compensation due under their employment agreements, which reduced general and administration expense by $107,500 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Mining Leases
The Company’s minimum commitment for 2014 is approximately $11,000 in annual maintenance fees, which are due September 1, 2014. Once the company enters the production phase, royalties owed to the BLM are equal to 10% of production.
Financing
The Company’s financing has been provided by advances from shareholders and by issuing shares of its common stock in various private placements to related parties and individuals.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Significant Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10,
Revenue Recognition
(“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25,
Multiple-Element Arraignments
(“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Stock-Based Compensation
Accounting Standard 718, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("ASC 718") established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, UMED implemented ASC 718, and accordingly, UMED accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.
UMED accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014, cash consists of a checking accounts held by financial institutions.
Mine Exploration and Development Costs
The Company accounts for mine exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 932,
Extractive Activities
. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are capitalized until production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, commences and are amortized on a units of production method based on the estimated proven and probable reserves. Mine development costs represent costs incurred in establishing access to mineral reserves and include costs associated with sinking or driving shafts and underground drifts, permanent excavations, roads and tunnels. The end of the development phase and the beginning of the production phase takes place when construction of the mine for economic extraction is substantially complete. Amortization of capitalized mine development is computed based on the estimated life of the mine and commences when production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, begins. At December 31, 2014, the Company had not incurred any mine development costs.
Mining Properties
The Company accounts for mine properties in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 930,
Extractive Activities-Mining
. Costs of acquiring mine properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Mine properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as deferred officers’ compensation and stock compensation accounting versus tax differences.
Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10,
Earnings Per Share
(“ASC 260-10), specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares issuable upon conversion of the notes payable and exercise of warrants has been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. UMED evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, UMED uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Concentration and Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall
(“ASC 105-10”), which was formerly known as SFAS 168. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis of conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
See Financial Statements beginning on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
a) On December 15, 2013, UMED Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") accepted the resignation of Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The resignation of Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
On March 6, 2014, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) by Order censured the registered public accounting firm Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA (the "Firm") and revoked the Firm's registration; and censured Patrick E. Rodgers, CPA ("Rodgers") and barred him from being an associated person of a registered public accounting firm. The Order stated that the Firm may reapply for registration after two (2) years from the date of the Order and Rodgers may file a petition for Board consent to associate with a registered public accounting firm after two (2) years from the date of the Order. The entire content of the Order may be found at http://pcaobus.org/Enforcement/Decisions/Documents/2014_Rodgers.pdf.
The reports from Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA on the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except relevant to the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2012, which stated as follows:
"The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 4 of the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has a negative working capital balance at December 31, 2012, and has a retained deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty."
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through December 15, 2013 there were no disagreements with Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such years. During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through December 15, 2013 there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company furnished a copy of the disclosures herein to Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA and requested that Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. Patrick Rodgers’s response is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On January 16, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors engaged Terry L. Johnson, CPA as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. On March 14, 2014, the Company engaged Terry L. Johnson, CPA to audit the Company's financial statements for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
During the last two fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the interim period ending December 31, 2013, we have not consulted with Terry L. Johnson, CPA regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either contemplated or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on your financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement between us and Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
We identified the following deficiencies which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014;
|
O
|
The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.
|
|
O
|
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statement due to the fact these duties were performed often times by the same people, a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
|
|
O
|
The Company does not have a sufficient number of independent directors for its board and audit committee. We currently have no independent director on our board, which is comprised of four directors, and we do not have a functioning audit committee. As a publicly-traded company, we should strive to have a majority of our Board of Directors be independent.
|
The Company is continuing the process of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
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 by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we continue to work towards an effective internal control environment. There were no changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
UMED Holdings, Inc. (“UMED” or the “Company”) was organized on March 13, 2002 under the laws of the State of Texas as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation. On August 18, 2009, in connection with a merger with Universal Media Corporation, a privately held Nevada company, the Company changed its name to “Universal Media Corporation (“Universal Media”). The company changed its name to UMED Holdings, Inc. on March 23, 2011. See discussion in Note 2 Merger and Recapitalization.
UMED’s mission is to operate as a holding company through the acquisition of businesses as wholly-owned subsidiaries that meet some key requirements: (1) solid management that will not have to be replaced in the near future, (2) the ability to grow with steady growth to follow, and (3) an emphasis on emerging core industry markets, such as energy, metals and agriculture. It is the Company’s intention to add experienced personnel and select strategic partners to manage and operate the acquired business units.
In September 2010, UMED has acquired 1,440 acres of placer mining claims on Bureau of Land Management land in Mohave County, Arizona. See discussion in Note 1.
In October 2011, UMED has acquired a 49% interest in Jet Regulators, LP, an aircraft maintenance company located at Meacham Field in Fort Worth, Texas. See discussion in Note 6.
In May 2012, the Company acquired 80% of Mamaki Tea & Extract of Hawaii, Inc., which owns and operates Wood Valley Plantation a 25 acre Mamaki Tea plantation located in the Kau district of the Big Island and lies at the foot of Mauna Loa, the Earth’s largest volcano. On December 31, 2012, we acquired the remaining 20%. See discussion in Note 4.
In August 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., which owns proprietary technology that is capable of converting natural gas to diesel/jet fuels. See discussion in Note 4.
In August 2012, the Company acquired 50% of Rig Support Group, Inc., (nka Logistix Technology Systems, Inc.) which has implemented a unique and valuable technology and asset management Tool for the Oil and Gas Industry for 100,000 shares of restricted common stock. In February 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% for 500,000 shares of restricted common stock.
See discussion in Note 4.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
A summary of significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as a gain or loss on sale of equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows.
Buildings
|
20 years
|
Mamaki bushes
|
15 years
|
Equipment
|
5 to 7 years
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC Topic 360,
Property, Plant and Equipment
. An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset or asset group is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10,
Revenue Recognition
(“ASC 605-10”), which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25,
Multiple-Element Arraignments
(“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 cash consists of a checking account and money market account held by financial institutions.
Segment Information
ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
requires use of the
management approach
model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined that is has one operating segment Mamaki of Hawaii in addition to its corporate activities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Mine Exploration and Development Costs
The Company accounts for mine exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 932,
Extractive Activities.
All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are capitalized until production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, commences and are amortized on a units of production method based on the estimated proven and probable reserves. Mine development costs represent costs incurred in establishing access to mineral reserves and include costs associated with sinking or driving shafts and underground drifts, permanent excavations, roads and tunnels. The end of the development phase and the beginning of the production phase takes place when construction of the mine for economic extraction is substantially complete. Coal extracted during the development phase is incidental to the mine’s production capacity and is not considered to shift the mine into the production phase. Amortization of capitalized mine development is computed based on the estimated life of the mine and commences when production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, begins. Through December 31, 2014, the Company had not incurred any mine development costs.
Mine Properties
The Company accounts for mine properties in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 930,
Extractive Activities-Mining.
Costs of acquiring mine properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Mine properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value. The Company had 1,440 acres of placer mining claims as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were acquired in exchange for 5,066,000 shares of common stock valued at a nominal amount of $100,000.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Net Loss Per Share, Basic and Diluted
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10,
Earnings Per Share
(“ASC 260-10) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares issuable upon conversion of the notes payable and exercise of warrants has been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815,
Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”),
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
The Company has not engaged in any derivative transactions or hedging activities during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount (“OID”). An OID is the difference between the original cash proceeds and the amount of the note upon maturity. The Note is originally recorded for the proceeds received. The OID is expensed into interest expense pro-rata over the term of the Note, and upon maturity, the Note shall equal the proceeds due.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments, as defined by Accounting Standard Codification subtopic 825-10,
Financial Instrument
(“ASC 825-10), include cash, accounts payable and convertible note payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2014.
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period ended December 31, 2014.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10,
Compensation
(“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any issued or outstanding stock options.
Concentration and Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10,
Research and Development
(“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred $218,000 in research and development expenses during the year ended December 31, 2104 and $390,975 from March 13, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014.
Accounting for Business Combinations
We use the acquisition method of accounting under the authoritative guidance on business combinations. Each acquired company’s operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements starting on the date of acquisition. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Contingent consideration, which is primarily based on the business achieving certain performance targets, is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings until settled. No such changes have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on our estimations of future performance of the business and is determined based on level two observable inputs.
Issuance of common stock
The issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded by the Company at management's estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired or services rendered.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall
(“ASC 105-10”), which was formerly known as SFAS 168. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal
level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis of conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
Going Concern Uncertainties
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statement, the Company has incurred a deficit of $6,760,300 as of December 31, 2014. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
To meet these objectives, the Company continues to seek other sources of financing in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. However, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms and timely manner, if at all. The failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
2013 Acquisitions
In August 2012, the Company acquired 50% of Rig Support Group, Inc., (nka Logistix Technology Systems, Inc.) which has implemented a unique and valuable technology and asset management Tool for the Oil and Gas Industry for 100,000 shares of restricted common stock. In February 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% for 500,000 shares of restricted common stock. This
tool will not only provide independent rig owners and operating companies the ability to more accurately view and report on drilling operations, it will also allow for a more streamlined approach to processing purchase orders, receiving parts, saving dollars And ensuring increased efficiency by significantly decreasing rig down-time due to mechanical break-downs. The purchase price of $47,500 was allocated to software assets. As additional consideration to the Logistix Technology Systems officer and sole shareholder, we have agreed to issue shares of restricted common stock based on certain revenue milestones, however the officer resigned from the company and such milestone earn-outs were terminated.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
On September 18, 2014, the Company issued a $154,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10.0% per annum to an accredited investor, payable on or before July 18, 2015, in monthly installments of $31,600 plus accrued interest beginning 6 months after the date of this promissory note. The convertible promissory note may be converted into common stock of the Company at a
conversion price equal to 70% of the average of the 3 lowest volume weighted average trading prices during the 20 day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Trading price means the closing bid price on the OTC Market Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board Pink Sheets.
If any portion of the principal or accrued interest on this convertible debenture is not paid within ten (10) days of when it is due, the note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the note holder in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to that can reach as much as 60% of the outstanding balance and 22% interest calculated from the date of default.
The Company shall have the right to prepay the principle and accrued interest of the convertible promissory note at 125% multiplied by the then outstanding balance of principle and accrued interest. The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Convertible Note did not result in a derivative. The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note and concluded that there was a beneficial conversion feature since the convertible note was convertible into shares of common stock at a discount to the market value of the common stock. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was valued at $154,000 based on intrinsic value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature ($23,346) is being amortized over the term of the debt (10 months). For the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $10,247 of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount.
In connection with the issuance of the $158,000 note discussed above, the Company incurred debt issue costs as follows:
|
●
|
10.4% cash – which is equivalent to $16,500, and
|
|
●
|
8% warrants – having a fair value of $89,568, which was computed as follows;

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the company recorded original issue discounts of $14,000.
The original issue discount pertains to discount taken by lender against the total convertible note of $158,000, resulting in a disbursement of $144,000 to the company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company amortized $5,900 in debt discount.

The change in the valuation allowance was $2,685,300 and $974,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the loss from operations, interest expense, interest income and other income subsequent to the change in ownership, which amounted to $6,729,800 and $4,044,500 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical taxable income including available net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.
NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS

Legal
In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to legal proceedings involving contractual and employment relationships, liability claims and a variety of other matters. Although the results of these other legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the final outcome of these matters should have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The accounting standards for reporting information about operating segments define operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is organized by line of business. While the Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed. Under aforementioned criteria, the Company operates in one reporting segment and corporate activities.
Mamaki of Hawaii is the reporting segment that derives its income from the sale of mamaki tea.
The information provided below is obtained from internal information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of corporate management. The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment performance. The Company does not allocate corporate interest income and expense, income taxes, other income and expenses related to corporate activity or corporate expense for management and administrative services to its reporting segment. Because of this unallocated income and expense, the operating income (loss) of the reporting segment does not reflect the operating income (loss) the reporting segment would report as a stand-alone business and therefore we do not present indirect operating expenses.
The table below illustrates the Company’s results for the Mamaki tea reporting segment for the years ended December 31, 2014, respectively:
