IIM GLOBAL CORPORATION (the “Company”)

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Filed May 23, 2014

File No. 333-193924


Gentlemen:


The Company is in receipt of the staff’s letter of comment dated June 3, 2014.  Below are the Company’s responses to such comments, which such response is numbered consistent with the staff’s numbered comments.  Contemporaneously, the Company has filed Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1.


Business, page 4

 

1.

Significant revisions should be made to this section to provide a balanced introduction to the company and the status of its business activities in the handheld identification and mobile payment markets. For example, you should include a discussion of the specific products developed by the company, whether you are currently earning revenue from those products and your marketing plans with respect to those products. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 18 that you have only paid $44,000 towards the expected $430,000 total development costs for your HDR+ platform.


RESPONSE:  The Company has revised this portion of the prospectus to provide a proper balanced introduction to the company and the status of its business activities.  Please see page 3 of Amendment No. 2.



Risk Factors, page 6


2.

Please add a risk factor disclosing any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the business activities of Andras Vago. In this regard, you state that Mr. Vago, director and owner of 34% of the outstanding shares of common stock, is currently an officer and principal of Multipolaris Corporation.


RESPONSE:   The Multipolaris Corporation in Hungary of which Mr. Vago was an officer and principal is no longer in business.  The risk factors section prospectus has been updated with this comment; please see page 7 of Amendment No. 2.

3.

Please add a risk factor that discusses the company’s inadequate financing to conduct planned operations with existing funds for the next twelve months and quantify the minimum amount of additional funding necessary for the company to conduct operations for a period of not less than one year from the date of the prospectus.


RESPONSE:   The Company has updated the prospectus to provide the requested information regarding its funding requirements as well as the associated risks.  Please see page 6 of Amendment No. 2.



4.

Please revise to add a risk factor that addresses the risks related to the company’s plan to issue convertible preferred stock with undetermined rights and preferences.


RESPONSE:  Supplementally please be advised that on June 25, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution rescinding its earlier approval to create and issue a planned series of convertible preferred shares.  At the time of this action, the Company had not amended its certificate of incorporation to create the series of preferred, nor had it entered into any agreements (written or oral) with any third parties related to same.  The Board of Directors determined that the creation of such convertible preferred was not presently in the Company’s best interests.  Accordingly, the Company has not added this requested risk factor, and it has deleted the two risk factors which appeared in the earlier filings of the above-captioned registration statement.  Please see page 9 of Amendment No. 2.



Government regulation could negatively impact the business, page 7

Please see page 7 of Amendment No. 2.

RESPONSE: Please be advised that in reviewing this comment we have determined our earlier response to prior comment 10 as contained in our letter of May 9, 2014 incorrectly referenced IIM Global as being the party to the deferred compensation agreement with Mr. Jones when it fact our response should have stated that Innovation in Motion was the contract party.  We also note that this inadvertent error also appeared in the description of the employment agreement with Mr. Jones with appears in “Employment Agreements” in the above-captioned registration statement, as amended.


By way of background, Mr. Jones was an executive officer and director of Innovation in Motion prior to our acquisition of that entity in August 2013.  Prior to the closing of that transaction, in October 2011 Innovation in Motion and Mr. Jones entered into an employment agreement which was amended in August 2012.  Pursuant to this agreement, as amended, Mr. Jones was entitled to a base salary of $210,000 together with performance bonuses and other perquisites.  On January 2, 2013 Innovation in Motion and Mr. Jones entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which he agreed to defer the compensation which was due him under this employment agreement in exchange for the issuance of 100,000 shares of Innovation in Motion’s common stock.  The value of these shares was recorded as compensation in Innovation in Motion’s financial statements for the appropriate period.  On June 1, 2013 Mr. Jones issued a letter agreement to Innovation in Motion pursuant to which he accepted $1.00 in full satisfaction of all compensation due him through the end of June 2013.  Thereafter, prior to the closing of our acquisition of Innovation in Motion, the employment agreement between that company and Mr. Jones was cancelled upon the mutual consent of the parties.  The 100,000 shares of Innovation in Motion’s common stock was issued to him prior to the acquisition and he exchanged it for shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.  


Subsequently, on September 30, 2013 Mr. Jones issued a letter agreement to the Company pursuant to which he accepted $1.00 in full satisfaction of all compensation due him for the period of July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013 which included compensation due him by Innovation in Motion both before and subsequent to the August 12, 2013 acquisition.  Finally, on October 1, 2013 he issued the Company a letter agreement pursuant to which he agreed to accept $1.00 as all compensation due him until such time as a new employment agreement was entered into by the parties.  Amendment No. 2 has been revised to reflect the foregoing; please see page 30.


With respect to comment 17, all amounts due Mr. Jones for 2012 and 2013 have either been paid or forgiven as set forth above.  All amounts due Mr. Szoke through his PA for 2012 and 2013 have been paid in full.  Amendment No. 2 has been revised to add the appropriate footnotes to the Executive Compensation table.  Please see page 30.



18.

Please file both of the agreements pursuant to which Mr. Jones’s salary has been “deferred.” Please tell us whether any other directors or officers have entered into similar agreements.


RESPONSE: The letter agreements related to Mr. Jones revised compensation arrangements as described in response to comment 17 have been filed as Exhibits 10.10 and 10.11 to Amendment No. 2.  Supplementally please be advised that no other directors or officers have entered into similar agreements.



19.

General instruction 2 to Item 402(n)(2)(iii) and (iv) of Regulation S-K requires the inclusion of a footnote referring to the narrative disclosure to the summary compensation table that describes the material terms of the grant of 100,000 shares of common stock in lieu of payment elected by Mr. Jones. Please advise or revise.


RESPONSE: The requested footnote has been added to the table; please see page 30 of Amendment No. 2.
