PART I

ITEM ITEM 1. Business
 
Our History
 
We (or the “Company”) were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), a Delaware corporation, for 500,000 (post reverse-split) shares of our common stock.

On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska.  The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones are met over the next one or two years. Those milestones have been met. The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000.  Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a supplier and had sold products to the Company.
 
On November 2, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Haley Acquisition”) with The Haley Group, LLC whereby we acquired all existing assets of The Haley Group, LLC and its customers. The Haley Acquisition was valued at a total cost of $119,645.  On June 30, 2014, pursuant to a purchase agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interest of Organic Food Brokers, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“OFB”), for $300,000, 100,000 options and up to an additional $225,000 in earn-outs if certain milestones are met.
On August 15, 2014, pursuant to a merger agreement (the “Fresh Diet Merger Agreement”), the Company acquired The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“The Fresh Diet” or “FD”) through a reverse triangular merger as the registrant created a subsidiary corporation (FD Acquisition Corp) that merged with and into FD with FD being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price consisted of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $14,000,000. The majority of FD’s current liabilities consisted of approximately $3.8 million of deferred revenues and approximately $2.1 million in short term commercial loans and there were additional ordinary course of business expenses such as trade payables, payroll and sales taxes which vary from month to month. In addition, it had  some long term obligations the bulk of which consist of interest free loans from FD’s former shareholders in the amount of approximately $2.2 million which are not due for three years.  Prior to the merger FD had purchased an immaterial amount of product from the Company.  FD operates as an independent subsidiary subject to oversight of its board of directors and the Company’s President and CEO.

Relationship with U.S. Foods
 
In February 2010, oneWe have historically sold the majority of our subsidiaries,products, $18,446,745 and $16,993,108  for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (60% and 75% of total sales in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively) through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods, a leading  broadline distributor. On January 26, 2015 we executed a Vendor Program Agreement between Food Innovations, signed a new contract withInc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and U.S. Foods (“USF”).  This  contract with USF expired onFoods.  The term of the Agreement is from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2012.  However, the contract2016 and provides that it automatically renews for an additional 12-month term unless eitherup to three (3) automatic annual renewals thereafter if no party notifiesgives the other in writing 30 days prior to the end datedays’ notice of its intent not to renew. Inasmuch as neither party gave the requisite notice, the agreement was automatically extended through December 31, 2013 and again through December 31, 2014.  We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occurs through the USF sales force, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products. Other than our business arrangements with USF, we are not affiliated with either USF or its subsidiary, Next Day Gourmet, L.P. (“Next Day Gourmet”). During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, sales to USF accounted for 72% and 76% of total sales, respectively.
 
Growth Strategy
 
While the U.S. economic recovery remains fragile, there appears to be much for the restaurantspecialty food industry to celebrate. According to the National Restaurant Industry’s 2013 forecast, restaurantThe    Specialty Food Association, specialty food sales during 2014 are expected2013 grew to growover $88 billion; with sale to consumers in retail foodservice at approximately $79 billion and sales of specialty foodservice products of over $20 billion. With 3 year sales growth averaging 18%. In addition specialty food sales by 3.8%distributers grew from $4.6 billion in 2012 to over 2013, exceeding $6.5 billion.  For$6.7 billion in 2013.For our continued growth within the specialty foodservice industry and the consumer specialty food industry , we rely on the availability to our customers of our chefs' culinary skills, a high level of personal customer service, premium quality products, new product introductions, and sales available throughcontinued expansion of our relationshipmarketing activities with USF.new and existing customers in both the specialty foodservice space and the consumer specialty food space.

We anticipate attempting to grow our current specialty foodservice business both through increased sales of existing products to our existing foodservice customers, the introduction of new products to our foodservice customers, increasing our foodservice customer base, and through further entry into markets such as the direct to consumer market through a variety of potential sales channels, and sales partnerships and directly via the web.
 
We believe several factors are increasing consumer awareness of nutrition and driving consumer demand for health and wellness products, including:

•interest in the relationship between diet and health;
•interest in the sourcing and purity of ingredients;
•interest in the relationship between ingredients and health;
•interest in less processed foods;
•people with certain need states, such as those affected by gluten sensitivities and diabetes;
•increasing health care costs;
•changes in media attention and laws affecting labeling and product claims; and
•interest in prolonging life and the quality of life.
As consumers have increasingly sought out new ways to maintain and improve their personal health, they are increasingly aware of the ingredients contained in, or absent from, their food. In addition, certain consumers seek out products to satisfy specific need states, such as gluten free need states. The medical community, restaurants, food service providers and food and drink manufacturers are increasingly responding to these demands.

We anticipate attempting to grow our current specialty foods direct to consumer business both through increased sales of existing products to our existing The Fresh Diet ® customers and , the introduction of new menu items to our existing customers, increasing our customer base by growing The Fresh Diet ® brand in existing markets health and wellness we serve and through further entry into new markets.

In addition to attempting to grow our current business, we believe that there are lateral opportunities in the food industry. We may consider the possibility of acquiring a gourmetspecialty  food manufacturer, or gourmetspecialty food distributor at some future point in time. We anticipate that, given our current cash flow levels, any acquisition could potentially involve the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or third party financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms. No acquisition will be consummated without thorough due diligence. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify and successfully conclude negotiations with any potential target.
 
General economic conditions and consumer confidence can affect the frequency of purchases and amounts spent by consumers for food-prepared-away-from-home and, in turn, can impact our customers and our sales. We believe the current general economic conditions, including pressure on consumer disposable income, may contribute to a slow or declining growth in the overall broadline foodservice market.market  We intend to continue our efforts to expand our market share and grow earnings by focusing on sales growth, margin management, productivity gains and supply chain management, and product and service differentiation.

Competition
 
While we face intense competition in the marketing of our products and services, it is our belief that there is no other single company in the United States that offers such a broad range of customer service oriented, quality, chef driven products and specialty gourmet meals, for delivery in 24from same day to 72 hours. Similarly, with respect to our direct-to-consumer fresh food delivery business, we believe we are the single largest provider of daily delivered fresh meals.  Our primary competition in both areas is from local purveyors that supply a limited local market and have a limited range of products and from other specialty gourmet distributors. However, many purveyors are well established, have reputations for success in the development and marketing of these types of products and services and have significantly greater financial, marketing, distribution, personnel and other resources. These financial and other capabilities permit such companies to implement extensive advertising and promotional campaigns, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors such as us, to enter into new markets and introduce new products and services.
 
Insurance
 
We maintain a general liability insurance policy with a per occurrence limit of $1,000,000 and aggregate policy covering $2,000,000 of liability. In addition, we haveliability and non-owned automobile personal injury coverage with a limit of $1,000,000.  In addition, The Fresh Diet has General Liability coverage with a per occurrence limit of $1,000,000 and aggregate policy limit of $2,000,000, Business Automobile owned and non-owned personal injury coverage with a limit of $1,000,000, and umbrella liability coverage with a per occurrence limit of $3,000,000 and aggregate policy limit of $3,000,000, which policies also cover Innovative Food Holdings, Inc.  Such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all potential claims against us and additional insurance may not be available in the future at a reasonable costs.price.
 
Government Regulation
 
Various federal and state laws currently exist, and more are sure to be adopted, regulating the delivery of fresh food products. We require all third-party vendors to certify that they maintain at least $2,000,000 liability insurance coverage and compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), an FDA- and USDA-mandated food safety program, or a similar standard. Any changes in the government regulation of delivering of fresh food products that hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver fresh products, could adversely impact our net revenues and gross margins and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could also be adversely affected.

Employees
 
We currently employ 39248 full-time employees, including 6 chefs and 2 executive officers.officers and 16 part-time employees. We believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory. None of our employees are represented by a union.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
 
Prior to 2013, We Have a History of Losses Requiring Us Toto Seek Additional Sources of Capital

As of December 31, 2013,2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,663,363.$10,395,495.  We cannot assure you that we can sustainachieve profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we will incur losses. Our possible success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of our services and products, as to which we can give no assurance. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, including factors out of our control or which cannot be predicted at this time. These factors may include changes in or increased levels of competition, including the entry of additional competitors and increased success by existing competitors, changes in general economic conditions, increases in operating costs, including costs of supplies, personnel, marketing and promotions, reduced margins caused by competitive pressures and other economic and non-economic factors. These conditions may have a materially adverse effect upon us or may force us to reduce or curtail operations. In addition, we could require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities, particularly if a well-financed competitor emerges. We can give no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain sufficient funds from our operations or external sources could require us to curtail or cease operations.

We Have Historically Derived Substantially All of Our Revenue From One Client and if We Were to Lose Such Client and Be Unable to Generate New Sales to Offset Such Loss, We May Be Forced to Cease or Curtail Our Operations.
 
In 2003, Next Day Gourmet initially contracted with our subsidiary, Food Innovations to handle the distribution of over 3,000 perishable and specialty food products to customers of USF. In February 2010, Food Innovations signed a new contract with USF that was scheduled to expire in December 2012 but was automatically extended for an additional 12 months in each of January 2013 and 2014.2014 and in January 2015 we entered into a new agreement. Our sales through USF’s sales force generated gross revenues for us of $18,446,745 in the year ended December 31, 2014, and $16,993,108 in the year ended December 31, 2013, and $14,138,685 in the year ended December 31, 2012.2013. Those amounts contributed 72%60% and 76%75% respectively, of our total sales in those periods. Our sales efforts are for the most part substantially dependent upon the efforts of the USF sales force. Although we have generated revenues from additional customers other than USF, if our relationship with USF were to be materially changed and we are unable to generate substantial new sales to offset such loss, we may be forced to cease or curtail our operations.
  
A Variety of Factors, Including Seasonality and the Economic Environment, May Cause Our Quarterly Operating Results to Fluctuate, Leading to Volatility in Our Stock Price.

Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future, depending upon a variety of factors, including changes in economic conditions, shifts in the timing of holiday selling seasons, including Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as timing shifts due to 53-week fiscal years, which occur every five years.

If We Fail to Attract and Retain Key Personnel, Our Business and Operating Results May be Harmed.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of key personnel in our senior management, whose vision for our company, knowledge of our business and expertise would be difficult to replace. If any one of our key employees leaves, is seriously injured or unable to work, or fails to perform and we are unable to find a qualified replacement, we may be unable to execute our business strategy.
We May Be Unable to Manage Our Growth Which Could Result in Our Being Unable to Maintain Our Operations.

Our strategy for growth is focused on continued enhancements and expansion to our existing business model, offering a broader range of services and products and affiliating with additional vendors and through possible joint ventures. Pursuing this strategy presents a variety of challenges. We may not experience an increase in our services to our existing customers, and we may not be able to achieve the economies of scale, or provide the business, administrative and financial services, required to sustain profitability from servicing our existing and future customer base. Should we be successful in our expansion efforts, the expansion of our business would place further demands on our management, operational capacity and financial resources. To a significant extent, our future success will be dependent upon our ability to maintain adequate financial controls and reporting systems to manage a larger operation and to obtain additional capital upon favorable terms. We can give no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our planned expansion, finance its growth, or manage the resulting larger operations. In addition, we can give no assurance that our current systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support any expansion of our operations. Our failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Specialty Food and Foodservice Industry is Very Competitive, Which May Result in Decreased Revenue for Us as Well as Increased Expenses Associated Withwith Marketing Our Services and Products.

The specialty food and foodservice businesses are highly competitive.  We compete against other providers of quality foods, some of which sell their services globally, and some of these providers have considerably greater resources and abilities than we have. These competitors may have greater marketing and sales capacity, established distribution networks, significant goodwill and global name recognition.  Our e-commerce websites and direct mail catalogs compete with other e-commerce websites and other direct mail catalogs that market lines of products similar to ours. We compete with national, regional and local businesses utilizing a similar strategy, as well as traditional specialty food distributors. We also compete with other businesses in the fresh delivery service. The substantial sales growth in the direct-to-customer industry within the last decade has encouraged the entry of many new competitors, new business models, and an increase in competition from established companies. Furthermore, it may become necessary for us to reduce our prices in response to competition. This could negatively impact our ability to be profitable.

Our Success Depends on Our Acceptance by the Chef Community and Consumers of Fresh Delivered Meals and if the Chef Community DoesThey Do Not Accept Our Products Then Our Revenue Will be Severely Limited.

The chef community and those seeking fresh delivery of meals may not embrace our products. Acceptance of our services will depend on several factors, including: cost, product freshness, convenience, timeliness, strategic partnerships and reliability.  Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also cannot be sure that our business model will gain wide acceptance among chefs. If the market fails to continue to develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
 
We Rely Upon Outside Vendors and Shippers for Our Specialty Food Products and Interruption in the Supply of Our Products or their Failure to Adhere to Our Quality Standards May Negatively Impact Our Revenues.

Shortages in supplies of the food products we sell may impair our ability to provide our services. Our vendors are independent and we cannot guarantee their future ability to source the products that we sell. Many of our products are wild-caught, and we cannot guarantee their availability in the future. Unforeseen strikes and labor disputes as well as adverse weather conditions may result in our inability to deliver our products in a timely manner. Also, if our suppliers fail to supply quality product in a timely and effective manner it could lead to an increase in recalls and customer litigation against us which could harm our brands’ images and negatively affect our business and operating results.  The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to timely and effectively deliver merchandise (i.e. fresh products and fresh meals) to our customers. We cannot control all of the various factors that might affect our fulfillment rates in direct-to-customer sales.  We are heavily dependent upon one carrier for the delivery of our fresh products and to one company for the delivery of our fresh meals to our customers. Accordingly, we are subject to risks, including labor disputes, union organizing activity, inclement weather, technology breakdowns, natural disasters, the closure of their offices or a reduction in operational hours due to an economic slowdown, possible acts of terrorism associated with their ability to provide delivery services to meet our shipping needs, disruptions or increased fuel costs, and costs associated with any regulations to address climate change. Since our customers rely on us to deliver their orders daily or within 24-72 hours, delivery delays could significantly harm our business.
  
We Are and May Be Subject to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Uncertainties.

Changes in government regulation and supervision or proposed Department of Agriculture or other regulatory agency reforms or rule changes could impair our sources of revenue and limit our ability to expand our business. In the event any future laws or regulations are enacted which apply to us, we may have to expend funds and/or alter our operations to insure compliance.
 
The Market May Not Readily Accept Our New Products.

Demand and market acceptance for relatively new products, such as our new line of fresh delivered meals, are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The successful introduction of any new product line requires a focused, efficient strategy to create awareness of and desire for the products. For example, in order to achieve market acceptance for our line of fresh dietary meals, we will need to educate the public about the health and convenience benefits our product could provide them. Similarly, we will have to make health and weight conscious people aware of this line's existence, draw users to its site and compel them to return to the site for repeat visitations.

Our marketing strategy may be unsuccessful and is subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including changes in market conditions, the nature of possible license and distribution arrangements and strategic alliances which may become available to us in the future and general economic, regulatory and competitive factors. We can give no assurance that our strategy will result in successful product commercialization or that our efforts will result in initial or continued market acceptance for our proposed products.

In Order to be Successful, We Must be able to Enhance Our Existing Products and Develop and Introduce New Products and Services to Respond to Changing Market Demand.

The markets in which we operate are characterized by frequently changing customer demand and the introduction of new “flavors of the month” as certain foods become more and less popular. Changes in customer preferences and buying trends may also affect our products differently. We must be able to stay current with preferences and trends in specialty food and address the customer tastes for each of our target customer demographics. We must also be able to identify and adjust products to cater to customer demands and dietary needs. For example, a change in customer preferences for gluten free items may not correlate to a similar change in buying trends for other specialty food. In order to be successful, we must be able to enhance our existing products and develop and introduce new products and services to respond to changing market demand for new tastes. The development and enhancement of services and products entails significant risks, including:
o the inability to effectively adapt new food types to our business;

o the failure to conform our services and products to evolving industry standards;

o the inability to develop, introduce and market enhancements to our existing services and products or new services and products on a timely basis; and

o the non-acceptance by the market of such new service and products.

If we misjudge either the market for our products or our customers’ purchasing habits, our sales may decline significantly which would negatively impact our business and operating results.

Any Acquisitions We Make Could Result in Difficulties in Successfully Managing Our Business and Consequently Harm Our Financial Condition.

We seek to expand by acquiring complementary businesses in our current or ancillary markets.  We cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts and the associated capital commitments that might be required.  We expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities available to us and may lead to higher acquisition prices.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses, if any, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties. In addition, acquisitions involve a number of other risks, including:

·failure of the acquired businesses to achieve expected results;
·diversion of management’s attention and resources to acquisitions;
·failure to retain key customers or personnel of the acquired businesses;
·disappointing quality or functionality of acquired equipment and people: and
·risks associated with unanticipated events, liabilities or contingencies.
Client dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could negatively affect our reputation.  The inability to acquire businesses on reasonable terms or successfully integrate and manage acquired companies, or the occurrence of performance problems at acquired companies, could result in dilution, unfavorable accounting treatment or one-time charges and difficulties in successfully managing our business.

Our Future Results Depend on Continued Evolution of the Internet and its Use by Consumers for Buying Our Products.

Our future results depend on continued growth in the use of the Internet for information, publication, distribution and commerce. Our growth is also dependent on increasing availability to residential consumers of broadband Internet access which will allow such persons to access higher-capacity content through the Internet. Our business could suffer if Internet usage and broadband availability does not continue to grow and evolve.  In addition, the concept of ordering food, including ingredients and whole meals is a relatively new concept and represents a radical change from the way all of today’s adults were brought up.  Our ability to grow our business depends upon heads of households or those empowered with producing meals to break away from old habits and embrace the concept of ordering food over the Internet.
If We are Unable to Effectively Manage Our E-Commerce Business Our Reputation and Operating Results May be Harmed.

E-commerce has been our fastest growing business over the last several years and continues to be a significant part of our sales success. The success of our e-commerce business depends, in part, on third parties and factors over which we have limited control. We are also vulnerable to certain additional risks and uncertainties associated with our e-commerce websites, including: changes in required technology interfaces; website downtime and other technical failures; internet connectivity issues; costs and technical issues as we upgrade our website software; computer viruses; changes in applicable federal and state regulations; security breaches; and consumer privacy concerns. In addition, we must keep up to date with competitive technology trends, including the use of new or improved technology, creative user interfaces and other e-commerce marketing tools such as paid search and mobile applications, among others, which may increase our costs and which may not succeed in increasing sales or attracting customers. Our failure to successfully respond to these risks and uncertainties might adversely affect the sales in our e-commerce business, as well as damage our reputation and brands.

We May be Exposed to Risks and Costs Associated with Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft that could Cause Us to Incur Unexpected Expenses and Loss of Revenue.

A significant portion of our customer orders are placed through our e-commerce websites. In addition, a significant portion of sales made through our retail channel require the collection of certain customer data, such as credit card information. In order for our sales channel to function and develop successfully, we and other parties involved in processing customer transactions must be able to transmit confidential information, including credit card information, securely over public networks. Third parties may have the technology or knowledge to breach the security of customer transaction data. Although we take the security of our systems and the privacy of our customers’ confidential information seriously, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will effectively prevent others from obtaining unauthorized access to our information and our customers’ information. Any person who circumvents our security measures could destroy or steal valuable information or disrupt our operations. Any security breach could cause consumers to lose confidence in the security of our websites and choose not to purchase from us. Any security breach could also expose us to risks of data loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and harm our reputation, any of which could harm our business.

In addition, states and the federal government are increasingly enacting laws and regulations to protect consumers against identity theft. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business and, if we fail to implement appropriate safeguards or to detect and provide prompt notice of unauthorized access as required by some of these new laws, we could be subject to potential claims for damages and other remedies, which could harm our business.
Earthquakes, Inclement Weather or Other Events Out of Our Control May Damage or Limit Production from Our Facilities and Our Ability to Timely Deliver Products Thereby Adversely Affecting Our Results of Operations.

We have significant operations in New York and in other areas where weather or other events  such as an earthquake, tsunami, flood, typhoon, fire, or other natural or manmade events, could disrupt our operations and impair production or distribution of our products, damage inventory, interrupt critical functions, or otherwise affect our business negatively, adversely affecting our results of operations.
Declines in General Economic Conditions and the Resulting Impact on Consumer Confidence and Consumer Spending Could Adversely Impact Our Results of Operations.

Our financial performance is subject to declines in general economic conditions and the impact of such economic conditions on levels of consumer confidence and consumer spending. Consumer confidence and consumer spending may deteriorate significantly, and could remain depressed for an extended period of time. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline during periods when disposable income is limited, unemployment rates increase, consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security declines or there is economic uncertainty. An uncertain economic environment, could adversely impact our business and operating results.

We Are and May Be Subject to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Uncertainties.

Changes in government regulation and supervision or proposed Department of Agriculture or other regulatory agency reforms or rule changes could impair our sources of revenue and limit our ability to expand our business. In the event any future laws or regulations are enacted which apply to us, we may have to expend funds and/or alter our operations to insure compliance.  New Internet legislation or regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and e-commerce could add additional costs and risks to doing business on the Internet. We are subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally and laws or regulations directly applicable to communications over the Internet and access to e-commerce. Although there are currently few laws and regulations directly applicable to e-commerce, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust, taxation and characteristics and quality of products and services.
 
The Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion of Convertible Notes and Exercise of Outstanding Warrants or Restricted Stock Units May Cause Immediate and Substantial Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.

The issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes and exercise of warrants and restricted stock units may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the note/warrantwarrant/restricted stock unit holders may ultimately convert or exercise and sell the full amount of shares issuable on conversion/exercise.exercise/vesting. Although, for the most part, such note/warrant holders may not convert their convertible notes and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock unless there was a management change or a change of control, this restriction does not prevent them from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings, selling off those shares, and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, they could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit.limit; nor does that cap apply to any holder of restricted stock units. We anticipate that eventually, over time, the full amount of the convertible notes could be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible notes, as well as the exercise of the warrants and the issuance of shares underlying the restricted stock units which will cause significant dilution to our other shareholders.

If We Are Required for any Reason to Repay Our Outstanding Convertible Notes We Would Be Required to Deplete Our Working Capital, If Available, or Raise Additional Funds.

We can be required to repay certain of our convertible notes or other notes. If we are required to repay a significant amount of these notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital and/or raise additional funds (which may be unavailable) which would have the effect of causing further dilution and lowering shareholder value.  If we were unable to pay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on almost all of our assets to recover the amounts due.  Any such action could require us to curtail or cease operations.
 
Our Revenues CanWe may be Affected by Price Increases Imposed by our Carriers.Subject to Legal Proceedings that Could be Time Consuming, Result in Costly Litigation, Require Significant Amounts of Management Time and Result in the Diversion of Significant Operational Resources.

We deliverare involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business.  Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against these actions, and we will continue to vigorously defend against them. The cost of defending against all these types of claims against us or the ultimate resolution of such claims, whether by settlement or adverse court decision, may harm our business and operating results and may be in excess of any amounts previously reserved for legal expenses. In addition, the increasingly regulated business environment and the nature of our products to our customers through third party overnight or express delivery carriers.  If the carriers we use raise their shipping rates or add charges such as fuel surcharges and other charges, we will either have to absorb the increased costs which will put pressure on our bottom line or pass on the cost to our customers which may result in a greater number of enforcement actions and private litigation. This could subject us to increased exposure to stockholder lawsuits.
We are a Smaller Reporting Company, and We Cannot be Certain if the Reduced Reporting Requirements Applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies Will Make our Common Stock Less Attractive to Investors.

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in the Securities Act of 1933. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced salesdisclosure obligations regarding historical financial statements, executive compensation in  our periodic reports, registration statements, and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our customers are unwilling to paycommon stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the higher prices.  Either way, such an increasebeginning of a year in shipping costs will likely havewhich we had a negative impact on our resultspublic float of operations.$75 million held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of the second quarter of the prior year.

 
Our Common Stockcommon stock is Subjectsubject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Markettrading market in Our Securitiesour securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactionslimited, which makes transactions in Our Stock Cumbersomeour stock cumbersome and May Reducemay reduce the Valuevalue of an Investmentinvestment in Our Stock.our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share (post-reverse split) or with an exercise price, for warrants or options or conversion price for convertible notes, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
 
 ● that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
 ● the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

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

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 ● setsSets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination;determination, and
 ● that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

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

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

None.  
On June 1, 2012, nine persons, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a Collective and Class Action Complaint in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, against Late Night Express Courier Services, Inc. (FL) (“LNE”) and The Fresh Diet Inc. (“The Fresh Diet”) and certain individuals entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al., Case No. 12 CV 4339.  On or about October 26, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint (“Complaint”) adding additional individual Defendants.  The Complaint seeks to recover alleged unpaid overtime wages on behalf of drivers for LNE who delivered meals to The Fresh Diet customers in the tri-state area.  In an opinion dated September 29, 2014 (“Opinion”), the District Court Judge denied the Plaintiffs’ motion for Summary Judgment which sought a holding that all the Plaintiffs were employees of Defendants, as was Defendants’ cross-motion for Summary Judgment seeking a holding that Plaintiffs were independent contractors, the Court finding that there were questions of fact that could not be resolved on motions.  In addition, the Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of 109 drivers was denied.  In the same Opinion, Defendants’ motion to decertify the case from 29 potential opt-in Plaintiffs down to the 9 named Plaintiffs was granted, and the possible claims of the remaining 20 were dismissed without prejudice.   On or about February 24, 2015, a second action was filed in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, on behalf of 6 (of the 20) additional driver-Plaintiffs entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al. 15 CV 1338, containing essentially the same allegations.  In addition, two of the Plaintiffs from the Complaint also joined the second lawsuit asserting claims for retaliation.  The two cases were assigned to the same Federal Judge (since they are related), but were not consolidated for discovery or trial.

Prior to the second action and on January 21, 2015, the parties appeared before a Federal Magistrate Judge for mediation.  The Magistrate Judge did not succeed in settling the case.  On March 17, 2015, the Federal Judge stayed both cases, and referred both of them to the Court’s mediation program for further mediation within 60 days.  The Company believes that mediation may lead to a global settlement with all existing Plaintiffs.  With respect to the second instituted litigation, inasmuch as the litigation is in its early phase and discovery has not commenced it is too speculative to predict an outcome.  However, we believe we will have available to us many of the same defenses as in the first litigation and therefore do not believe that our exposure, if any at all, will likely exceed the amount of the first litigation, even if additional persons file claims.  Accordingly, given the uncertainty of both of these cases and given the additional Plaintiffs in the second action, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $400,000 representing the estimated potential amounts payable in the litigations, even though it is possible that the amount of liability may actually be less than the reserved amount.

On September 3, 2014 the registrant’s subsidiary was served a complaint by Monolith Ventures, Ltd., in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “Monolith Complaint”). The Monolith Complaint, which was brought by a shareholder of less than 24% of the outstanding shares of The Fresh Diet sought to attack the Company’s then recently concluded acquisition of The Fresh Diet which was approved by a majority of The Fresh Diet shareholders.  The action has been settled and the lawsuit discontinued with the exchange of general releases.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.
 
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain  "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may",  "will", "expect", "believe",  "explore",  "consider",  "anticipate",  "intend", "could", "estimate",  "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
 
 Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
  
 Our ability to implement our business plan,
 
 Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,
 
 Our dependence on one major customer,
  
 Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,
 
 Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,
 
 Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current  or anticipated business,
 
 Changes in the demand for our services,
 
 The degree and nature of our competition,
 
 The lack of diversification of our business plan,
 
 The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
 
 Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and environmental weather conditions.
 
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate.  Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements included in this report requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the 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. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
 

On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the Company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments were valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and were re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation was charged to operations during the period.

On December 27, 2012, the Company entered into agreements (the “2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement”) affecting the terms of certain of its convertible notes payable. One of these changes established a minimum conversion price for these notes of $0.05.  Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, this resulted in a change in accounting method for these instruments from derivative accounting to equity accounting.   The Company revalued these instruments at December 27, 2012 using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Any gain or loss in value was charged to operations.

(b) Embedded conversion features of notes payable:

From September 2005 through December 26, 2012, the Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.

Effective December 27, 2012, the Company entered into the 2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement with certain convertible note holders regarding twenty-five convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $2,037,249  in principal and $719,187  in accrued interest.  Pursuant to the 2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement, the maturity date of each note and accrued interest was extended to February 1, 2014 (unless the original maturity date was beyond the extended date, in which case the original maturity date did not change); the expiration date of each warrant associated with each of the notes was extended to August 1, 2015 (unless the original expiration date of each warrant was beyond August 1, 2015, in which case the original expiration date will not change); the minimum conversion price of the note and accrued interest, in the case of any adjustment to such price, was set to be $0.05 per share. The Company also agreed that for as long as the convertible notes are held by the existing note holders, it will not issue any common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price of less than $0.05 per share.  Accordingly, the conversion option and warrants were reclassified from liability to equity since the conversion and exercise prices were fixed and all other conditions were met to classify the conversion feature and warrants as equity.

The Company revalued its derivative equity instruments at December 27, 2012 using the Black-Scholes valuation method, and recorded losses on revaluation in the amount of $478,822 for the conversion options, $566,063 for the warrants, and $103,248 for stock options. This resulted in liabilities in the amount of $2,088,475 for the value of the warrants, $1,708,528 for the value of the conversion options, and $411,792 for the stock options.  The value of the warrants and conversion options (a total of $3,797,001) was eliminated, and recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt.  The value of the stock options of $411,792 was eliminated, and recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $56,740$29,500 for doubtful accounts receivable at December 31, 2013,2014, and $5,547$56,740 at December 31, 2012.2013. Actual losses on accounts receivable were $6,729 were $20,057 for 2013 2014 and $5,687$6,729 for 2012.2013. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied  due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. Generally, these liabilities  increased as the price of the Company’s stock increased (with resultant gain), and decreased as the Company’s stock decreased (yielding a loss). In December 2012, the Company removed  these liabilities from its balance sheet  by  reclassifying them as equity; we expect the amount of future gains and losses recognized to be reduced.equity.

Income Taxes

The Company has a history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as the Company begins to provide evidence that a continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a basis for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased by $4,892,253$8,288,929 or approximately 26.3%36.8% to $23,502,740$30,800,858 for the year ended December 31, 20132014 from $18,610,487$22,511,929 in the prior year.  TheApproximately $4,917,130 of the increase was primarily attributable to year-over-yearrevenue associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014, and approximately $3,371,799 of the increase was due to organic growth of the Company.  In addition, as a result of the acquisition, pursuant to GAAP accounting rules governing the fair value of deferred revenue in an acquisition, the Company’s gross sales growth, but included a full 12 monthswere reduced in the amount of Artisan’s revenues in 2013 compared$1,164,563 due to only 7 months in 2012.the amortization of the discount on acquired deferred revenue.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.

Any changes in the food distribution, specialty foods and direct to consumer delivered meals operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Any changes in the food distribution operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
  
Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.
 
Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold for the twelve months ended December 31, 20132014 was $16,853,557,$22,691,387, an increase of $3,060,007$6,828,641 or approximately 22.2%43% compared to cost of goods sold of $13,793,550$15,862,746 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.2013. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014 and to an increase in organic revenues. Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013:2014: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $12,783,591;$13,003,809; and kitchen expenses, preparation, shipping, delivery, handling, and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $4,069,966.   The cost of goods sold increase is mainly associated with the increase in sales.$9,687,578. Total gross margin was approximately 28%26.3% of sales in 2013,2014, compared to approximately 25%29.5% of sales in 2012.2013. The decrease in gross margins for 2014 are primarily attributable to the operations of The Fresh Diet which we acquired on August 15, 2014. The operations of The Fresh Diet also included a non-cash operational charge associated with the valuation of deferred revenues which had the effect of lowering Fresh Diet’s gross margin.
In 2013,2014, we continued to price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share.  We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold will either remain stable or possibly improve slightly.
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1,453,137$5,341,719 or approximately 34.4%94.0% to $5,683,364$11,025,083 during the twelve months ended December 31, 20132014 compared to $4,230,227$5,683,364 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $3,384,062 , including non-cash compensation of $221,120 and commissions of $111,349;  facilities and vehicles expense in the amount of $574,914; insurance expense in the amount of $271,129; amortization and depreciation in the amount of $262,881;  computer support expenses in the amount of $126,038; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $253,006; banking and credit card fees expenses in the amount of $150,096; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $110,148; bad debt expense in the amount of $56,740; taxes of $53,765; and advertising and marketing expense in the amount of $25,742.2013. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to:to costs associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company’s move into its new facility and improvements in the Company’s Florida warehouse, the bank loan, restructuring of the Company’s  notes, and additional expenses associated with the Artisan acquisition and higher selling expenses and expansion expenses associated with Artisan and The Haley Group and Gourmet Foodservice group.  We expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses to remain steady forCompany acquired effective August 15, 2014.

The Company had net working capital deficit of $173,977$6,899,414 as of December 31, 2013.2014.  We have generated positive cash flow from operations during the years ended December 31, 20132014 and 2012.2013. In addition, the Company’s auditors previously removed the going concern qualification to the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company intends to continue to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines.  Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 9 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of new items and enter new markets, acquire new businesses as well as identify new and other consumer and food service oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification. 

On March 6, 2015 we completed a round of financing of $3,078,998 through the sale of 3,178,420 restricted shares of our common stock at a price per share of $0.9646, primarily for the purpose of acquiring, in a block sale, the shares of Monolith Ventures Ltd, a former shareholder of The Fresh Diet, who agreed to sell its position of approximately 3 million shares at a price of $0.9646 per share. Concurrently, Monolith Ventures Ltd. dismissed its previously reported litigation against the Company and exchanged mutual releases with the Company.  Simultaneously, the Company also raised an additional $1,209,596 through the sale of 943,829 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $1.30.  Approximately 2.1 Million shares are subject to a one year lock up.  No warrants or other convertible securities were involved in the financing and the financing was completed by officers of the Company without requiring the services of a placement agent.  The financing was an exempt private placement under Regulation D with offers and sales made only to “accredited investors” without the use of public advertising.
In March 2015, warrants to purchase 727,272 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised for cash of $400,000.
If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. 

20142015 Plans

During 2014,2015, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations we plan to attempt to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets in both the consumer and foodservice markets, exploringsector ,exploring potential acquisition opportunities and continuing to extend our focus from a mainly wholesale foodservice business directed towards chefs to expanding sales and market opportunities  in the direct to consumer specialty food market through the growth of the Company’s and The Fresh Diet’s existing sales channels and through a variety of direct to consumer sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. In addition we are currently exploring the introduction of a variety of new product categories and new product lines, to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.
 
No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 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 the Company as of December 31, 20132014 and 20122013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the yeasryears then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and equity based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

On August 25, 2005, we entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, from August 25, 2005 through December 27, 2012, we accounted for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments were valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and were re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation was charged to operations during the period.  On December 27, 2012, we entered into agreements (the “2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement”) with certain holders of our convertible notes which, among other things, created a minimum conversion price for the principal amount of the notes of $0.05. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, this resulted in a change in accounting method for our derivative financial instruments to the equity method of accounting.
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Artisan, Specialty Foods, Inc. (“Artisan”), Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”),FNM, OFB, GFG, Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc. (“GFGW”), Gourmeting, Inc., The Fresh Diet, Haley, Group, Inc.,  (“Haley”) , and 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.) (“Gourmet” and collectively, the “Company, or “IVFH”).Gourmet.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
The Company consolidates the financial statements of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which it is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, consideration is given to a number of factors, including the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic success as well as the Company’s exposure to absorb the losses and obligations of such entities. Late Night Express Courier Service, Inc., an independent company providing delivery services to The Fresh Diet customers, was determined to be a VIE that was required to be consolidated under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and accordingly, was included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements  for the year ended December 31, 2014.   All material inter-company transactions and balances of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer  shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.
 
 
2427

 
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 605-15-05. ASC 605-15-05 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.  The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Revenue from the sale of meals is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is upon the delivery of the product to the Company’s customers. Meal programs are sold weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. Meal programs are non-returnable and non-refundable if not cancelled within 3 days of initial delivery. Refunds of cancelled meal plans are recorded at the time of cancellation.

Deferred revenue consists of cash received for meals that have not yet been delivered to the customer.
  
Cost of goods sold
 
We have included in cost of goods sold all costs which are directly related to the generation of revenue. These costs include primarily the cost of thefood and raw materials, plus kitchen expenses, preparation, product plus theconversion, packing and handling, shipping, and delivery costs.
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses
 
We have included in selling, general, and administrative expenses all other costs which support the Company’s operations but which are not includable as a cost of sales. These include primarily payroll, facility costs such as rent and utilities, selling expenses such as commissions and advertising, and other administrative costs including professional fees and costs associated with non-cash stock compensation.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

Accounts Receivable
 
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts.  The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.  It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change.  Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $56,740$29,500 and $5,547$56,740 at December 31, 2013,2014, and 2012,2013, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are valued at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives up to five years using the straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
 
The estimated service lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Computer Equipment3 years
Warehouse Equipment5 years
Office Furniture and Fixtures5 years
Vehicles5 years
  
Inventories
 
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
 
Income Taxes
 
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, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

The Company adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC 820-10 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
As of December 31, 2013,2014, the Company’s management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
ASC 220-10-15 “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, ASC 220-10-15 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
 
Noncontrolling Interest
As a result of adopting ASC 810-10 Consolidations, we present non-controlling interests as a component of equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Deficiency in Equity.   Net income (loss) from consolidated entities attributable to noncontrolling interests are adjusted in our reported net income (loss) attributable to Innovative Food Holdings, Inc.
Cost Method Investments
The Company has made several investments in early stage private food related companies and are accounting for these investments under the cost method.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
 
Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
 
The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. 

Anti-dilutive shares at December 31, 2013:
A net loss causes all outstanding stock options and warrants to be antidilutive. As a result, the basic and dilutive losses per common share are the same for the yearyears ended December 31, 2013,  The2014 and 2013.
Dilutive shares at December 31, 2014:

Certain of the RSUs were issued to employees of The Fresh Diet  ( “Employee RSUs”)  and certain RSUs were issued to the executive officers of the Company ( “Executive RSUs”) and certain RSUs were issued to members of the board of directors of the Company ( “Board RSUs” ).  With respect to the Executive RSUs, effective November 17, 2014, each of the Company’s executive officers were awarded RSUs which vest according the following schedule, provided the performance conditions are met: 150,000 RSUs vest on each of July 1 and December 31, 2015; 300,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2016 and 400,000 RSUs vest on July 1, 2017.  On August 7, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the amendment of the employment agreements, effective as of August 13, 2014, of each of the Company’s President and CEO, providing for (i) an award to the President of 75,000 RSUs which vest on January 1, 2015 and 75,000 RSUs which vest on May 1, 2016; and (ii) an award to the CEO of 125,00 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $2.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume or if there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight  trading days; and (iii) an award to the CEO of 175,000 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $3.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days.
The Employee RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of the Company were issued either; partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses or a combination of both bonus and salary. The Employee RSUs vest according to the following schedule: On July 1 2015 600,000 will vest on December 31 2015 an additional 600,000 shares will vest. On December 31 2016 an additional 1.2 million shares will vest and an additional 1.6 million shares will vest on July 1 2017. Vesting is contingent on being an employee of the Company at the time of vesting. In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no Employee RSU shares can be sold below $2.50 per share. In addition up to an additional 25,000 shares will vest on a monthly basis. Vesting is contingent on employment by the Company at the time of vesting and the Company stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days. In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no shares can be sold below $2.50 per share
The Company estimated that the stock-price goals of the Company’s stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days have a 90% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 90% of their face value. The Company estimated that the revenue targets had a 100% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 100% of their face value.  We recognized stock-based compensation expense of in a straight-line manner over the vesting period of the RSUs.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Stock-based Compensation

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The Company measuresBlack-Scholes-Merton option valuation model requires the costuse of employee services received in exchange for anassumptions, including the expected term of the award and the expected stock price volatility. We used the Company’s historical volatility to estimate expected stock price volatility. The risk-free rate assumption was based on United States Treasury instruments whose terms were consistent with the expected term of equity instrumentsthe stock option. The expected dividend assumption was based on the grant-dateCompany’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. RSUs awarded may be conditional upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives over a specified period. At the end of the performance period, if the goals are attained, the awards are granted. Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest and was reduced for estimated forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differed from those estimates. The estimated annual forfeiture rates for stock options and RSUs are based on the Company’s historical forfeiture experience. The estimated fair value of the award.  That coststock options and RSUs is recognizedexpensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting term of the grant. Compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period in whichbased on management's best estimate as to whether it is probable that the employee is requiredshares awarded are expected to provide service in exchange forvest. Management assesses the award, which is usuallyprobability of the vesting period.performance milestones being met on a continuous basis.
 
In August 2005, the Company’s commitments to issue shares of common stock first exceeded its common stock authorized. At this time, the Company began to value its stock options via the liability method of accounting. Pursuant to guidance in ASC 718-40 the cost of these options were valued via the Black-Scholes valuation method when issued, and re-valued at each reporting period.  The gain or loss from this revaluation was charged to compensation expense during the period.  On December 27, 2012, the Company  entered into the 2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement with certain holders of its convertible notes which, among other things, created a minimum conversion price for the principal amount of the notes. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, this resulted in a change in accounting method for  our derivative financial instruments to the equity method of accounting. We revalued our derivative liabilities at December 27, 2012, and charged the gain or loss from this revaluation to compensation expense during the period.
Options expense and gain or loss on revaluation during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the table below:

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 19, 2014, the Company adopted the amendment to (Topic 718) Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendment for accounting for share based payments, when an award provides that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period shall be accounted for as a performance condition. The performance target shall not be reflected in estimating the fair value of the award at the grant date, and compensation cost shall be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and will represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost shall be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period shall reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and shall be adjusted to reflect the awards that ultimately vest. The Company does not believe the accounting standards currently adopted will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Haley Group provides these services in exchange for a combination of monthly retainers and percentages of future sales of client products.  On November 2, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary The Haley Group, Inc., entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Haley Acquisition Agreement”) with The Haley Group, LLC whereby the Company acquired all existing contracts between The Haley Group, LLC and its customers for the following consideration:  300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; 150,000 shares of which vest immediately and 150,000 shares of which vest in one year under certain conditions;  options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.44 per share; and $20,000 cash contingent upon the attainment of future revenue milestones. During the year ended December 31, 2013,  pursuant  to certain  terms of the Haley Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Haley would have been subject to a reduction in salary.  The Company agreed not to reduce Mr. Haley’s salary; in return, Mr. Haley forfeited the options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Haley Group acquisition was valued at a total cost of $119,645.   This intangible fair value of the purchase amount was allocated to Haley Group’s customer relationships and capitalized accordingly on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and is being amortized over 3 years.

28Organic Food Brokers


IndexPursuant to a purchase agreement, effective June 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interest of Organic Food Brokers, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company.  OFB is a dedicated foodservice consulting and advisory firm that works closely with companies to access private label and manufacturers’ label food service opportunities with the intent of helping them launch and commercialize new products in the retail foodservice industry and provides emerging food brands distribution and shelf placement access in the major metro markets in the food retail industry.

Beneficial Conversion Features

The Company calculates the fair value of any beneficial conversion features embedded in its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Company also calculates the fair value of any detachable warrants offered with its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The instruments were considered discounts to the notes, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features did not exceed the face value of the notes. These discounts were amortized to interest expense via the effective interest method over the term of the notes.  The fair value of these instruments was charged to interest expense to the extent that the value of these instruments exceeds the face value of the notes.  

From September 2005 through December 26, 2012, the Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.

Effective December 27, 2012, the Company entered into the 2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement with certain convertible note holders regarding twenty-five convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $2,037,249  in principal and $719,187  in accrued interest.  Pursuant to the 2012 Notes Payable Extension Agreement, the maturity date of each note and accrued interest was extended to February 1, 2014 (unless the original maturity date was beyond the extended date, in which case the original maturity date will not change); the expiration date of each warrant associated with each of the notes was extended to August 1, 2015 (unless the original expiration date of each warrant was beyond August 1, 2015, in which case the original expiration date will not change); the minimum conversion price of the note and accrued interest, in the case of any adjustment to such price, was set to be $0.05 per share. The Company also agreed that for as long as the convertible notes are held by the existing note holders, it will not issue any common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price of less than $0.05 per share.  Accordingly, the conversion option and warrants were reclassified from liability to equity since the conversion and exercise prices were fixed and all other conditions were met to classify the conversion feature and warrants as equity.

The Company revalued its derivative equity instruments at December 27, 2012 using the Black-Scholes valuation method, and recorded losses on revaluation in the amount of $478,822 for the conversion options, $566,063 for the warrants, and $103,248 for stock options. This resulted in liabilities in the amount of $2,088,475 for the value of the warrants, $1,708,528 for the value of the conversion options, and $411,792 for the stock options.  The value of the warrants and conversion options (a total of $3,797,001) was eliminated, and recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt.  The value of the stock options of $411,792 was eliminated, and recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

Pursuant to debt extinguishment accounting, the Company charged to interest expense the unamortized amount of the discount on the related convertible notes at December 27, 2012 in the amount of $824,286.  Prior to December 27, 2012, the Company had amortized $13,899 of the discount.  At December 27, 2012, the Company recorded a new discount on the convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $1,918,993, which was charged to additional paid-in capital.

The Company revalued the conversion options at each reporting period, and charged any change in value to operations. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an aggregate loss of $0 and $281,024, respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.

When convertible notes payable are satisfied by payment or by conversion to equity, the Company revalues the related conversion option liability at the time of the payment or conversion.  The conversion option liability is then relieved by this amount, which is charged to additional paid-in capital.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, conversion option liabilities in the amounts of $0 and $81,921, respectively, were transferred from liability to equity due to the conversion or payment of the related convertible notes payable.

August 2013 Notes Payable Extension Agreement

Effective August 22, 2013, the Company entered into agreements (the “2013 Notes Payable Extension Agreement”) with certain convertible notes holders regarding twenty-five convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $912,982 in principal and $744,246 in accrued interest.  Pursuant to the 2013 Notes Payable Extension Agreement, the maturity date of each note and accrued interest was extended to May 15, 2014; the interest rate was changed to 5%; and the expiration of each warrant associated with each of the notes was extended to February 1, 2016 or February 1, 2017.

Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes. 
     
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4$1.4 million, which will expire through 2031.2032.  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, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. 
 
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 20132014 and 20122013 consist of the following:

14.Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

At December 31, 2014, the Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the potential issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock for the purpose of aligning executives and employees of the Company and  for the purpose of compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors of the Company and for the purposes of retaining qualified personnel at compensation levels that otherwise would not be available should the company have been required to pay certain salaries in cash only. Certain of the RSUs were issued to employees of The Fresh Diet (“Employee RSUs”) and certain RSUs were issued to the executive officers of the Company ( “Executive RSUs”) and certain RSUs were issued to members of the board of directors of the Company ( “Board RSUs” ). With respect to the Executive RSUs, effective November 17, 2014, each of the Company’s executive officers were awarded RSUs which vest according the following schedule, provided the performance conditions are met: 150,000 RSUs vest on each of July 1 and December 31, 2015; 300,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2016 and 400,000 RSUs vest on July 1, 2017. On August 7, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the amendment of the employment agreements, effective as of August 13, 2014, of each of the Company’s President and CEO , providing for (i) an award to the President of 75,000 RSUs which vest on January 1, 2015 and 75,000 RSUs which vest on May 1, 2016; and (ii) an award to the CEO of 125,000 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $2.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume or if there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight  trading days; and (iii) an award to the CEO of 175,000 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $3.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days
The Employee RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of the Company were issued either ; partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses or a combination of both bonus and salary. The Employee RSUs vest according to the following schedule: On July 1 2015 600,000 will vest on December 31 2015 an additional 600,000 shares will vest. On December 31 2016 an additional 1.2 million shares will vest and an additional 1.6 million shares will vest on July 1 2017. Vesting is contingent on being an employee of the Company at the time of vesting. In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no Employee RSU shares can be sold below $2.50 per share. In addition up to an additional 25,000 shares will vest on a monthly basis. Vesting is contingent on employment by the Company at the time of vesting and the Company stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days . In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no shares can be sold below $2.50 per share

The Company estimated that the stock-price goals of the Company’s stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days have a 90% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 90% of their face value. The Company estimated that the revenue targets had a 100% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 100% of their face value.  We recognized stock-based compensation expense of in a straight-line manner over the vesting period of the RSUs. This resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $886,516 related to recognition of RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

On June 1, 2012, nine persons, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a Collective and Class Action Complaint in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, against Late Night Express Courier Services, Inc. (FL) (“LNE”) and The Fresh Diet Inc. (“The Fresh Diet”) and certain individuals entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al., Case No. 12 CV 4339.  On or about October 26, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint (“Complaint”) adding additional individual Defendants.  The Complaint seeks to recover alleged unpaid overtime wages on behalf of drivers for LNE who delivered meals to The Fresh Diet customers in the tri-state area.  In an opinion dated September 29, 2014 (“Opinion”), the District Court Judge denied the Plaintiffs’ motion for Summary Judgment which sought a holding that all the Plaintiffs were employees of Defendants, as was Defendants’ cross-motion for Summary Judgment seeking a holding that Plaintiffs were independent contractors, the Court finding that there were questions of fact that could not be resolved on motions.  In addition, the Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of 109 drivers was denied.  In the same Opinion, Defendants’ motion to decertify the case from 29 potential opt-in Plaintiffs down to the 9 named Plaintiffs was granted, and the possible claims of the remaining 20 were dismissed without prejudice.   On or about February 24, 2015, a second action was filed in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, on behalf of 6 (of the 20) additional driver-Plaintiffs entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al. 15 CV 1338, containing essentially the same allegations.  In addition, two of the Plaintiffs from the Complaint also joined the second lawsuit asserting claims for retaliation.  The two cases were assigned to the same Federal Judge (since they are related), but were not consolidated for discovery or trial.  Prior to the second action and on January 21, 2015, the parties appeared before Federal Magistrate Judge Cott for mediation.  The Magistrate Judge did not succeed in settling the case.  On March 17, 2015, the Federal Judge stayed both cases, and referred both of them to the Court’s mediation program for further mediation within 60 days.  The Company believes that mediation may lead to a global settlement with all existing Plaintiffs.  With respect to the second instituted litigation, inasmuch as the litigation is in its early phase and discovery has not commenced it is too speculative to predict an outcome.  However, we believe we will have available to us many of the same defenses as in the first litigation and therefore do not believe that our exposure, if any at all, will likely exceed the amount of the first litigation, even if additional persons file claims.  Accordingly, given the uncertainty of both of these cases and given the additional Plaintiffs in the second action, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $400,000 representing the estimated potential amounts payable in the litigations, even though it is possible that the amount of liability may actually be less than the reserved amount.
On September 3, 2014 the Company’s subsidiary was served a complaint by Monolith Ventures, Ltd., in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “Monolith Complaint”). The Monolith Complaint, which was brought by a shareholder of less than 24% of the outstanding shares of The Fresh Diet sought to attack the registrant’s then recently concluded acquisition of The Fresh Diet which was approved by a majority of The Fresh Diet shareholders.  The action has been settled and the lawsuit discontinued with the exchange of general releases.
17. MAJOR CUSTOMER

The Company’s largest customer, USU.S. Foods, Inc.  and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 72%60% and 76%75% of total sales in the years ended December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, respectively.  A contract between our subsidiary, Food Innovations, and USFU.S. Foods entered an optional renewal period in December 2012 but was automatically extended for an additional 12 months in each of  January 1, 2013 and 2014.  We believe that althoughOn January 26, 2015 we executed a significant portion ofcontract between Food Innovations, Inc., our sales occur through USFwholly-owned subsidiary, and its affiliates, the successU.S. Foods, Inc.  The term of the programcontract is less contingent on a contract than on our actual performancefrom January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 and provides for up to three (3) automatic annual renewals thereafter if no party gives the qualityother 30 days’ notice of our products. its intent not to renew. 
  
16.18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value.   The fair value of the Company’s stock option, convertible debt features and warrant instruments is determined using option pricing models.
 
As a result of the adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  The other liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these liabilities are as follows:
 
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
  
Level 2 -Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
  
Level 3- Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
As December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, the Company did not have financial assets or liabilities that are required to be accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:
Beginning balance as of January 1, 2012 $1,908,470 
Reclassification  to equity  (493,713)
Fair value of common stock equivalents issued  1,022,726

On March 6, 2015 we completed a round of financing of $3,078,998 through the sale of 3,178,420 restricted shares of our common stock dueat a price per share of $0.9646, primarily for the purpose of acquiring, in a block sale, the shares of Monolith Ventures Ltd, a former  shareholder of The Fresh Diet, who agreed to the cashless exercisesell its position of warrantsapproximately 3 million shares at a price of $0.25$0.9646 per share,share.

ITEM ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 20132014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and our disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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 Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated 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 the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 the consolidated financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
Subject to the inherent limitations described in the following paragraph, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 20132014 at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. 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.  Accordingly, our internal controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Key Employee

John McDonald

Mr. McDonald, age 52,53,  has been the Chief Information Officer of IVFH since November 2007 and our principal accounting officer since November 2007.  From 2004 through 2007, Mr. McDonald worked as a consultant with Softrim Corporation of Estero, Florida where he created custom applications for a variety of different industries and assisted in building interfaces to accounting applications. Since 1999 he has also been President of McDonald Consulting Group, Inc. which provide consulting on accounts receivable, systems and accounting services.

Qualification of Directors

We believe that all of our directors are qualified for their positions and each brings a benefit to the board. Messrs.  Kelpfish and Wiernasz, as our executive officers, are  uniquely qualified to bring management’s perspective to the board’s deliberations.  Mr. Gold, with his lengthy career working for broker/dealers, brings “Wall Street’s” perspective.  Mr. Mayer, with his experience as an executive in start-up companies, brings that knowledge and insight to the board.  Mr. Cohn, with his prior history of being an executive and his experience as a director of other companies, brings a well-rounded background and wealth of experience to our board.

Committees
 
The Board of Directors does not currently have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee or a Governance Committee. The usual functions of such committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors.  We are currently having difficulties attracting additional qualified directors, specifically to act as the audit committee financial expert. However, we believe that at least a majority of our directors are familiar with the contents of financial statements.
  
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to each of our employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as well as members of our Board of Directors. A copy of such Code has been publicly filed with, and is available for free from, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
During 2013,2014, each officer and director did not file one Form 4 and Mr. Wiernasz did not file one Form 3.two Forms 4.

Qualification of Directors

We believe that all of our directors are qualified for their positions and each brings a benefit to the board. Messrs.  Kelpfish and Wiernasz, as our executive officers, are  uniquely qualified to bring management’s perspective to the board’s deliberations.  Mr. Gold, with his lengthy career working for broker/dealers, brings “Wall Street’s” perspective.  Mr. Mayer, with his experience as an executive in start-up companies, brings that knowledge and insight to the board.  Mr. Cohn, with his prior history of being an executive and his experience as a director of other companies, brings a well-rounded background and wealth of experience to our board.

Committees
The Board of Directors does not currently have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee or a Governance Committee. The usual functions of such committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors.  We are currently having difficulties attracting additional qualified directors, specifically to act as the audit committee financial expert. However, we believe that at least a majority of our directors are familiar with the contents of financial statements.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to each of our employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as well as members of our Board of Directors. A copy of such Code has been publicly filed with, and is available for free from, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

SAM KLEPFISH

On November 20, 2012 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Klepfish, the Corporation’s CEO,  having an effective date of January 1, 2013 and terminating on December 31, 2015.  The agreement provides a base compensation in the amount of $198,312 in cash plus an additional $27,937 in restricted stock units for year one, $223,987 in cash plus an additional $24,875 in restricted stock units for year two, and $260,075 in cash plus an additional $13,688 in restricted stock units for year three.  The agreement also provides for annual bonuses including bonuses based on increases in EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) of our various subsidiaries; additional bonuses upon the occurrence of certain events such as: listing on specific stock exchanges, spin-offs, investments and stock trading and volume levels.  The agreement also provides for stock options with exercise prices ranging from $0.40 - $1.60 and an award of restricted stock, which only vests if certain volume and pricing milestones with respect to our common stock are met.  Mr. Klepfish also has the option of receiving any portion of his salary or bonus in the form of equity.  The agreement also contains non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.  
On August 7, 2014, our board of directors approved the amendment of the Employment Agreement with Mr. Klepfish effective as of August 13, 2014.  The employment agreement was amended as follows: (i) it has been extended by one year to December 31, 2016; (ii) it provides for 10% annual increases of Base Salary commencing in 2014; (iii) all performance based bonuses are eliminated; (iv) stock grants previously issued with vesting based upon performance or stock price are cancelled; (v) a new performance based bonus structure to partially replace the previous structure, based upon meeting certain Cash EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and non-cash compensation charges) targets, the new bonus will have a cash portion and a stock portion and all Base Salary can be paid in cash or in stock at the option of Mr. Klepfish, and  (vi) 125,00 restricted stock units which vest if the 30 day average closing price of our common stock is $2.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume or there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight  trading days; and 175,000 restricted stock units which vest if the 30 day average closing price of our common stock is $3.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days.  Mr. Klepfish will have the option, on an annual basis, to take all or part of the cash portion of the bonus, or any part of Base Salary in the form of stock at a valuation based upon the closing stock price on the last trading day of the prior year. The decision on how much, if any, of the bonus to take in stock must be made by May 1 of each year, unless earlier required.  The Cash EBITDA target levels do not include the effect of any potential future acquisitions and also do not include certain one time or non-recurring expenses in the calculation of the Cash EBITDA.  If a Cash EBITDA target is missed by 3% or less, the bonus for the target so missed shall be reduced by 20% and if it is missed by 3.1% -5%, the bonus for such target shall be reduced by 30%, except in both cases, Mr. Klepfish has negative discretion to further reduce the bonuses or even cancel them.

Qualification of Directors

We believe that all of our directors are qualified for their positions and each brings a benefit to the board. Messrs.  Kelpfish and Wiernasz, as our executive officers, are  uniquely qualified to bring management’s perspective to the board’s deliberations.  Mr. Gold, with his lengthy career working for broker/dealers, brings “Wall Street’s” perspective.  Mr. Mayer, with his experience as an executive in start-up companies, brings that knowledge and insight to the board.  Mr. Cohn, with his prior history of being an executive and his experience as a director of other companies, brings a well-rounded background and wealth of experience to our board.

Committees
The Board of Directors does not currently have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee or a Governance Committee. The usual functions of such committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors.  We are currently having difficulties attracting additional qualified directors, specifically to act as the audit committee financial expert. However, we believe that at least a majority of our directors are familiar with the contents of financial statements.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to each of our employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as well as members of our Board of Directors. A copy of such Code has been publicly filed with, and is available for free from, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
During 2014, each officer and director did not file one Form 4 and Mr. Wiernasz did not file two Forms 4.

SAM KLEPFISH

On November 20, 2012 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Klepfish, the Corporation’s CEO,  having an effective date of January 1, 2013 and terminating on December 31, 2015.  The agreement provides a base compensation in the amount of $198,312 in cash plus an additional $27,937 in restricted stock units for year one, $223,987 in cash plus an additional $24,875 in restricted stock units for year two, and $260,075 in cash plus an additional $13,688 in restricted stock units for year three.  The agreement also provides for annual bonuses including bonuses based on increases in EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) of our various subsidiaries; additional bonuses upon the occurrence of certain events such as: listing on specific stock exchanges, spin-offs, investments and stock trading and volume levels.  The agreement also provides for stock options with exercise prices ranging from $0.40 - $1.60 and an award of restricted stock, which only vests if certain volume and pricing milestones with respect to our common stock are met.  Mr. Klepfish also has the option of receiving any portion of his salary or bonus in the form of equity.  The agreement also contains non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.  
On August 7, 2014, our board of directors approved the amendment of the Employment Agreement with Mr. Klepfish effective as of August 13, 2014.  The employment agreement was amended as follows: (i) it has been extended by one year to December 31, 2016; (ii) it provides for 10% annual increases of Base Salary commencing in 2014; (iii) all performance based bonuses are eliminated; (iv) stock grants previously issued with vesting based upon performance or stock price are cancelled; (v) a new performance based bonus structure to partially replace the previous structure, based upon meeting certain Cash EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and non-cash compensation charges) targets, the new bonus will have a cash portion and a stock portion and all Base Salary can be paid in cash or in stock at the option of Mr. Klepfish, and  (vi) 125,00 restricted stock units which vest if the 30 day average closing price of our common stock is $2.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume or there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight  trading days; and 175,000 restricted stock units which vest if the 30 day average closing price of our common stock is $3.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days.  Mr. Klepfish will have the option, on an annual basis, to take all or part of the cash portion of the bonus, or any part of Base Salary in the form of stock at a valuation based upon the closing stock price on the last trading day of the prior year. The decision on how much, if any, of the bonus to take in stock must be made by May 1 of each year, unless earlier required.  The Cash EBITDA target levels do not include the effect of any potential future acquisitions and also do not include certain one time or non-recurring expenses in the calculation of the Cash EBITDA.  If a Cash EBITDA target is missed by 3% or less, the bonus for the target so missed shall be reduced by 20% and if it is missed by 3.1% -5%, the bonus for such target shall be reduced by 30%, except in both cases, Mr. Klepfish has negative discretion to further reduce the bonuses or even cancel them.
In November 2014, the employment agreement of Mr. Klepfish was amended (i) ) in the event of a change of control (as defined below) all equity based compensation (including options and restricted stock units) payable pursuant to such employment agreements, shall immediately vest and/or restrictions thereon shall lapse, and (ii) to provide that in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the employment agreement) they shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (x) the salary payable over the last six months of the term of the agreement, or (y) the Base Salary (as defined in the employment agreement) remaining through the end of the then-current term of the agreement.  The definition of change of control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (w) the sale or transfer by the Company for at least $25 million (such consideration consisting of cash, cash equivalents, notes or securities) of more than 50% of its Voting Securities (as defined below) or substantially all of its assets; or  (x) the acquisition, other than from the Company or employees of it or any of its subsidiaries, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (other than an employee benefit plan of the Company) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Securities"); or (y) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of the Company (a "Business Combination"), other than a Business Combination in which more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the Business Combination is held by the persons who, immediately prior to the Business Combination, were the holders of the Voting Securities; or (z) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
