1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

U-Swirl, Inc., formerly Healthy Fast Food, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on November 14, 2005.

U-Swirl Concept - In September 30, 2008, the Company acquired the worldwide rights to the U-Swirl Frozen YogurtSM concept through its wholly-owned subsidiary, U-Swirl International, Inc.

The U-Swirl concept allows guests a broad choice in frozen yogurt by providing an assortment of non-fat and low-fat flavors, including tart, traditional and no sugar-added options and numerous toppings, including seasonal fresh fruit, sauces, candy and granola. Guests serve themselves and pay by the ounce instead of by the cup size.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company owned and operated six U-Swirl Yogurt cafés. From the Company’s inception through June 30, 2012, the Company has sold the following:


	Agreements
Franchise area development agreements (1)	13
Single-unit franchise agreements (2)	15
License agreement converted to a franchise agreement	1

(1)	Includes the first franchise agreement under the area development agreement.

(2)	Includes subsequent franchises under an area development agreement or franchises without an area development agreement.

Discontinued Operations - Fresh and Fast (formerly EVOS) Concept - The Company owned and operated two fast food restaurants located in Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada under the “Fresh and Fast” Concept. The restaurants were formerly operated under franchise rights and “EVOS” branding purchased from EVOS USA, Inc. Effective March 1, 2009, the Company notified EVOS USA, Inc. of its intent to terminate the franchise and area development agreements. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company ceased conducting business under the EVOS USA, Inc. franchise and area development agreements and converted the restaurants to the “Fresh and Fast” Concept. Effective August 1, 2009, the Company determined to cease conducting business under the “Fresh and Fast” Concept altogether in order to focus on its U-Swirl Yogurt Concept, and has accordingly accounted for the “Fresh and Fast” Concept divestiture as discontinued operations. See Note 7, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities from Discontinued Operations, for further discussion.

Accounting Policy for Ownership Interests in Investees - The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary corporation, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

U-SWIRL, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

UNAUDITED

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash - Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institutions. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and short-term investments due to the temporary unlimited deposit insurance coverage at all FDIC-insured depository institutions through December 31, 2012.

Accounts Receivable - The Company monitors its exposure to losses on accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for potential losses or adjustments. The Company reserves an amount based on the evaluation of the aging of accounts receivable, detailed analysis of high-risk customers’ accounts, and the overall market and economic conditions of our customers. Past due accounts receivable balances are written off when the Company’s collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due.

Inventories - Inventories consisting of food, beverages, and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market, including provisions for spoilage commensurate with known or estimated exposures which are recorded as a charge to cost of sales during the period spoilage is incurred. The Company did not incur significant charges to cost of sales for spoilage during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Leasehold Improvements, Property and Equipment - Leasehold improvements, property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for property acquisitions, development, construction, improvements and major renewals are capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term, which generally includes reasonably assured option periods, or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected as a gain or loss from operations.

The estimated useful lives are:


Café equipment	7 years
Signage	7 years
Furniture and fixtures	7 years
Computer equipment	5 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	10 years

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

UNAUDITED

U-Swirl cafés currently under development are accounted for as construction-in-process. Construction-in-process is recorded at acquisition cost, including leasehold improvements, equipment expenditures, professional fees and interest expenses capitalized during the course of construction for the purpose of financing the project. Upon completion and readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-process is transferred to an appropriate asset. Construction in process is valued at the lower of cost or market. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any construction-in-process.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets - The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of leasehold improvements, property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment.

Revenue Recognition Policy - Revenue from U-Swirl café sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Café sales are reported net of sales discounts.

Revenue earned as a U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt franchisor is derived from cafés in the Company’s worldwide territory and includes initial franchise fees and royalties.

Initial franchise fee revenue from a franchise sale is recognized when the Company has substantially performed or satisfied all of its material obligations relating to the sale up through the point at which the franchisee is able to open the franchised U-Swirl café, and the Company has no intention of refunding the entire initial franchise fee or forgiving an unpaid note for the entire initial franchise fee. Substantial performance has occurred when the Company has (a) performed substantially all of its initial services required by the franchise agreement, such as providing to the franchisee (1) a copy of the Operations Manual; (2) assistance in site selection and selection of suppliers of equipment, furnishings, and food; (3) lease review and comments about the lease; and (4) the initial training course to one or two franchisee representatives; and (b) completed all of its other material pre-opening obligations. The Company defers revenue from the initial franchise fee until (a) commencement of operations by the franchisee; or (b) if the franchisee does not open the franchised U-Swirl café, (1) the date on which all pre-opening services and obligations of the Company are substantially complete, or (2) an earlier date on which the franchisee has abandoned its efforts to proceed with the franchise operations, and in either situation, the franchisee is not entitled to, and is not given, a refund of the initial franchise fee. Royalties are recognized in the period in which they are earned.

Rebates received from purveyors that supply products to our franchisees are included in franchise royalties and fees. Product rebates are recognized in the period in which they are earned. Rebates related to company-owned cafés are offset against café operating costs.

Rent - Rent expense for café leases, which provide for escalating rents over the terms of the leases, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The lease terms began when the Company had the right to control the use of the property, which was before rent payments were actually due under the leases.

The difference between the rent expense and the actual amount payable under the terms of the leases is recorded as a leasehold improvement asset and deferred rent liability on the Balance Sheet and as both an investing activity and a component of operating activities on the Statements of Cash Flows.

Marketing and Advertising Expense - The Company recognizes marketing and advertising expense as incurred.

U-SWIRL, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

UNAUDITED

Share-based Compensation Expense - The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.

When computing fair value of share-based compensation, the Company considers the following variables:

●	The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method.

●	The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock using the daily quoted closing trading prices.

●	The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.

●	The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

●	The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture rate for our unvested stock options.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances when necessary.

Assessing whether deferred tax assets are realizable requires significant judgment. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating performance and expectations of future operating performance. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is often dependent upon future taxable income and therefore can be uncertain. To the extent the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized, valuation allowances are established against the Company’s deferred tax assets, which increase income tax expense in the period when such a determination is made.

Income taxes include the largest amount of tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. Settlements with tax authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations for particular tax positions, or obtaining new information on particular tax positions may cause a change to the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the statements of operations.

Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common stock during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company discloses, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. As of June 30, 2012 the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such financial instruments.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential risk of business failure.

Concentration of Risk - The Company’s operations and future business model are dependent in a large part on U-Swirl International, Inc.’s ability to execute its company-owned store and franchising business model. U-Swirl International, Inc.’s inability to meet its obligations as company-owned store operator and franchisor may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Geographic Concentration - As of June 30, 2012, all of the Company’s cafe sales are derived from its restaurants located in Southern Nevada, which may be impacted in the event of a decline in the local economy.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance in ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including clarification of the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value and disclosure requirements and changing a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $166,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and has accumulated net losses totaling $6,544,335 since inception.

The Company has been developing company-owned stores, as well as a franchise network through the sale of franchises and establishment of area development agreements. It has relied on fund raising and the sales of new franchises to augment the cash flow it receives from operating its company-owned stores. The current economic conditions have resulted in lower-than-expected sales of new franchises, which have resulted in a significant decrease in its cash position.

The Company’s ability to fund its operations will depend on the length of time of the current economic downturn, its future performance, and its ability to successfully implement its business and growth strategies. In the event that it needs additional capital and is unable to obtain it, the Company could be left without sufficient liquidity. The Company will continually monitor its operating and overhead expenses and reduce those expenses to match the revenue flow. However, realization of a return on investment on company-owned stores, a significant portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet, is dependent on Company management’s ability to reach consistent and sustainable profitability. The Company is also dependent on management’s ability to increase sales of new franchises and/or their ability to raise additional capital through a placement of its securities.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

History and Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on November 14, 2005 to own and operate EVOS fast food franchises as “Healthy Fast Food.”

Shortly after signing a franchise agreement in December 2005 to operate an EVOS restaurant in Henderson, Nevada, we engaged in a private placement to raise the capital necessary to open the restaurant. We sold 300,000 shares of common stock in the private placement, resulting in net proceeds of $544,878. These proceeds, together with loans from related parties, were used to build out, open and operate the restaurant, which opened in October 2006.

In December 2006, we entered into an area representative agreement that gave us the exclusive right to develop EVOS restaurants in a 12-state territory. To maintain our exclusivity in the territory, we were required to open a minimum number of restaurants within certain timeframes through 2016. These restaurants could be opened by us or by franchise owners that we identified and solicited. From December 2006 to June 2007, we engaged in a second private placement of 389,450 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $1,552,127. These proceeds were used to repay related party loans, pay some of the expenses of our initial public offering, fund our efforts to solicit franchise owners for our territory, and open another restaurant.

In March 2008, we completed an initial public offering of 1,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant and two Class B warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,100,000 and net proceeds of $4,002,840. The net proceeds of the offering were intended to be used to open company-owned EVOS restaurants in the Las Vegas metropolitan statistical area (the “Las Vegas MSA”) during the following 12 to 18 months, as well as for marketing expenses, franchise development and working capital. We opened our second restaurant in the Las Vegas MSA in December 2008, and our EVOS sub-franchisee in California opened its first restaurant in November 2008.

After experiencing continued operating losses with our EVOS restaurants, we decided to diversify into another healthy fast food concept and acquired the worldwide rights to U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt (“U-Swirl”) on September 30, 2008. We opened our first company-owned U-Swirl café in the Las Vegas MSA in March 2009, and we have since developed five more company-owned cafés in the Las Vegas MSA. In addition, the original U-Swirl café in Henderson, Nevada, continues to operate as a franchisee.

We issued a Franchise Disclosure Document (the “FDD”) in November 2008 and filed it in certain states which require filing. In July 2009, we entered into a franchise agreement for a café in Reno, Nevada, which opened in October 2009. Our franchisee in Reno opened a second location in October 2010, and a third café in June 2011. We also entered into franchise agreements for locations in Marietta, Georgia; Waco, Texas; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Waco, Texas café opened in September 2011, the Jenkintown, Pennsylvania café opened in June 2012, and the Marietta, Georgia café opened in July 2012. In addition, we have signed area development agreements as follows:

·	Phoenix, Arizona for the development of a minimum of seven cafés by November 2011 (of which three have been opened in 2011), three more cafés by November 2012 and a total of 23 cafés by November 2019;

·	Monmouth County, New Jersey for the development of a minimum of one café by February 2012, one more café by February 2013 and a total of three cafés by February 2014 (pursuant to an amended development schedule);

·	Las Vegas, Nevada for the development of a minimum of one café by April 2011, one more café by April 2012 and a total of four cafés by April 2013;

·	Boise, Idaho for the development of a minimum of one café by June 2011 (which opened in November 2010) and a total of two cafés by June 2012 (the second café having opened in June 2011 and the third café having opened in July 2011);

·	Tucson, Arizona for the development of a minimum of one café by October 2011 (which opened in July 2011), one more café by October 2012 and a total of five cafés by October 2015;

·	Orlando, Florida for the development of a minimum of one café by December 2011 (which opened in July 2011), one café by December 2012 and a total of four cafés by December 2014;

·	Northern California for the development of a minimum of one café by January 2012 (which opened in June 2011) and a total of five cafés by January 2014;

·	New Mexico for the development of a minimum of one café by May 2012 (which opened in February 2012) and a total of ten cafés by May 2015 (the second café having opened in March 2012 and the third café having opened in June 2012);

·	Colorado Springs, Colorado for the development of a minimum of one café by May 2012 and a total of three cafés by May 2014;

·	Montana for the development of a minimum of one café by June 2012 (which opened in January 2012) and a total of four cafés by June 2014 (the second café having opened in May 2012);

·	Salt Lake City, Provo and Ogden, Utah for the development of a minimum of one café by September 2012 and a total of two cafés by September 2013 (with a total of three cafés being opened in 2011) ; and

·	Houston, Texas for the development of a minimum of two cafés by December 2012 and a total of ten cafés by December 2015.

In some cases, our area developers have encountered delays with lease negotiations, licensing and permitting issues, and construction schedules. We have chosen to continue to work with the developers, rather than enforce the development schedules contained in their respective agreements, in an effort to promote and support our franchising efforts.

We were not successful with the EVOS concept and ceased operating those restaurants under the EVOS concept in July 2009. After briefly operating under a concept known as “Fresh and Fast,” we closed the two restaurants in August 2009, and have reflected activities related to this concept as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Prior periods have been restated to conform to the current presentation. We changed our name to “U-Swirl, Inc.” effective May 16, 2011.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our U-Swirl cafés generated $709,122 in sales, net of discounts, as compared to $740,221 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in sales revenue is attributed to the continued high unemployment rate in the Las Vegas area where all of our cafés are located and increased competition from other frozen yogurt retailers.

Our 2012 café operating costs were $479,815, or 68% of net cafe sales revenues, resulting in café operating profit of $229,307, as compared to $501,122, or 68% of net cafe sales revenues in 2011, resulting in café operating profit of $239,099.

We also generated $45,000 in franchise fee income and $78,391 in royalty income, and $25,556 in rebate income for a total of $148,947 in franchise royalties and fees during the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $58,500 in franchise fee income and $25,728 in royalty income, for a total of $84,228. Prior to 2012, we did not receive any payment discounts, rebates, and/or other types of remuneration from any suppliers based on purchases by our franchisees. Beginning in January 2012, a supplier started paying rebate income based on purchases by our franchisees. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had 20 franchised cafés in operation for the entire period and three franchised cafés in operation for a portion of the period. During the comparable 2011 period, we had six franchised cafés in operation for the entire period and four franchised cafés in operation for a portion of the period.

Marketing and advertising expenses were $22,467 for the 2012 period as compared to $29,087 for the 2011 period. This decrease is a result of the reduced volume of print ads, radio advertising and store promotions offered during 2012.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expense increased by $56,742 (39%) to $203,467 in part due to franchise consulting, training and development and increased travel to franchised cafe locations. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we engaged a national operations consultant to assist us with providing support to our franchisees, developing new product offerings, and increasing efficiencies of franchised operations through logistics, purchsing power, and operational improvements. The largest components of general and administrative expense for the 2012 period were legal fees $31,977, accounting fees $15,000, consulting fees $20,134, training and development $19,126, insurance $12,895, travel $7,771 and credit card fees $12,824.

Officer compensation for the 2012 period decreased slightly by $309 (0.3%) to $117,867, in part due to the decrease in the valuation of the shares of common stock issued for services from $10,670 in 2011 and $8,030 in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $76,722 to $76,770, reflecting our increased base of leasehold improvements, property and equipment due to the opening of our corporate offices in the current location.

Our loss from operations decreased by $5,066 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of the increase in franchise royalties and fees.

As a result of the above, our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $42,411, as compared to a loss of $47,797 for the comparable 2011 period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our U-Swirl cafés generated $1,232,787 in sales, net of discounts, as compared to $1,279,358 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in sales revenue is attributed to the continued high unemployment rate in the Las Vegas area where all of our cafés are located and increased competition from other frozen yogurt retailers.

Our 2012 café operating costs were $897,255, or 73% of net cafe sales revenues, resulting in café operating profit of $335,532, as compared to $926,929, or 72% of net cafe sales revenues in 2011, resulting in café operating profit of $352,429.

We also generated $100,000 in franchise fee income and $129,425 in royalty income, and $45,846 in rebate income for a total of $275,271 in franchise royalties and fees during the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $88,500 in franchise fee income and $41,993 in royalty income, for a total of $130,493. Prior to 2012, we did not receive any

payment discounts, rebates, and/or other types of remuneration from any suppliers based on purchases by our franchisees. Beginning in January 2012, a supplier started paying rebate income based on purchases by our franchisees. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had 17 franchised cafés in operation for the entire period and six franchised cafés in operation for a portion of the period. During the comparable 2011 period, we had four franchised cafés in operation for the entire period and six franchised cafés in operation for a portion of the period.

Marketing and advertising expenses were $39,386 for the 2012 period as compared to $64,080 for the 2011 period. This decrease is a result of the reduced volume of print ads, radio advertising and store promotions offered during 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expense increased by $69,345 (25%) to $348,923 in part due to franchise consulting, training and development and increased travel to franchised cafe locations, as described above. The largest components of general and administrative expense for the 2012 period were legal fees $44,948, accounting fees $37,000, consulting fees $40,268, training and development $32,448, insurance $23,381, travel $15,714, and credit card fees $21,682.

Officer compensation for the 2012 period increased slightly by $6,786 (3%) to $235,131, despite the decrease in the valuation of the shares of common stock issued for services from $23,540 in 2011 to $13,860 in 2012 due to lower stock prices.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly from $153,642 to $153,412, reflecting our increased base of leasehold improvements, property and equipment due to the opening of our corporate offices in the current location.

Our loss from operations decreased by $76,214 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of the increase in franchise royalties and fees.

As a result of the above, our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $166,519, as compared to a loss of $243,241 for the comparable 2011 period.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, we had working capital of $224,685 and cash of $261,571, as compared to working capital of $316,215 and cash of $300,637 at December 31, 2011.

We had a net loss of $166,519 during the first six months of 2012, and operating activities used cash of $41,853. The principal adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used by operating activities were depreciation and amortization of $153,642 and stock-based compensation of $58,374. In comparison, operating activities used cash of $42,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the principal adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used by operating activities were depreciation and amortization of $153,412 and stock-based compensation of $10,000.

Investing activities provided cash of $5,828 in 2012 as compared to $14,786 in 2011. Pre-payments for inventory items are recorded as deposits. When the items are received, they are then recorded as inventory and the amounts of prepayment are credited against deposits. For 2011, we had deposit credits of $19,771, offset by $6,802 used to purchase signage and equipment for our new corporate headquarters located in Henderson, Nevada.

Cash used by financing activities was $3,041 in 2012, as compared to cash used of $2,658 in 2011, resulting from payments on capital lease obligations.

The Company had deferred franchise fee and area representative agreement fee revenues of $325,000 as of June 30, 2012. Per the terms of the agreements, the Company will recognize franchise fee revenue upon the opening of each restaurant within the respective territories.

Accounts receivable increased from $117,526 at December 31, 2011 to $164,074 at June 30, 2012, as a few of our franchisees owed royalties and payments for paper products. During the current fiscal year, we arranged to have our franchisees purchase their paper products directly from thedistributor rather than have us purchase the products in bulk, and have started to implement a system to collect our royalty payments from franchisees via regularly scheduled automatic electronic transfers. Management is hopeful that these measures will reduce the accounts receivable during the remainder of the current fiscal year, but cannot give assurance that a reduction will in fact occur.

Going Concern

In its report prepared in connection with our 2011 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because of our net loss of $673,394 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and accumulated net losses totaling $6,377,816 from inception to December 31, 2011, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our net loss was $166,519 and we had accumulated net losses of $6,544,335 from inception to June 30, 2012. Our continued existence will depend on the duration of the current economic downturn, our future performance, and our ability to successfully implement our business and growth strategies and manage our franchise system. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our obligations and commitments to make future payments for the periods specified as of June 30, 2012:

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
Capital lease obligations	$	1,600	$	1,600	$	-	$	--	$	--
Operating lease obligations		903,421		199,251		652,040		41,704		10,426
Total	$	905,021	$	200,851	$	652,040	$	41,704	$	10,426

Capital lease obligations are amounts owed under a lease agreement for our vehicle. Operating lease obligations are amounts owed under leases for our existing six company-owned U-Swirl cafés and our corporate headquarters in Henderson, Nevada.

Plan of Operations

The amounts set forth in the Contractual Obligations table, together with approximately $95,000 per month to cover our fixed overhead expenses, are what we require to maintain our existing operations. We have historically experienced losses from operations, including recently, despite a continued increase in revenues. The operation of our six company-owned cafés and revenues from franchise royalties and fees do not yet provide sufficient cash to maintain our existing operations. We have been forced to use our cash reserves to cover our operating expenses.

For the current fiscal year, we have generated increased revenues from franchise royalties and fees but experienced decreased sales in our company-owned cafés. In addition, we have not been able to hold our non-café operating expenses to fiscal 2011 levels. We do not anticipate that we will be able to significantly reduce our fixed overhead expenses. For 2012, we added a national operations consultant which increased our general and administrative expenses. We believe that with the assistance of this consultant we can improve the performance of both company-owned cafés and those owned by franchisees. Specifically, we are looking at ways to increase our revenue base and achieve improved operating efficiencies, including expansion through the continued sale of franchises, expansion through

acquisition using our stock as consideration, possible joint venture arrangements, and additional product offerings.

The net proceeds from our secondary public offering were $410,704. We had planned to use these proceeds to open one company-owned U-Swirl café in the southeastern area of the United States, thereby providing greater exposure for our U-Swirl brand. However, since the completion of that offering, we have entered into a franchise agreement for a U-Swirl café in Marietta, Georgia, and an area development agreement for Orlando, Florida. In addition, a significant portion of the proceeds have been used for working capital as we do not yet have profitable operations. As described above, rather than focus our efforts on opening another company-owned U-Swirl café, we are concentrating on improving our operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories. Inventories consisting of food, beverages, and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market, including provisions for spoilage commensurate with known or estimated exposures which are recorded as a charge to cost of sales during the period spoilage is incurred. We did not incur significant charges to cost of sales for spoilage during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Leasehold improvements, property and equipment. Leasehold improvements, property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for property acquisitions, development, construction, improvements and major renewals are capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term, which generally includes reasonably assured option periods, or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected as a gain or loss from operations.

Impairment of long-lived assts. We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of leasehold improvements, property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment.

Deposits. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, deposits consisted of security deposits for multiple locations and a sales tax deposit held with the State of Nevada. All deposits are carried at the lower of fair value or cost.

Revenue recognition policy. Revenue from U-Swirl café sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Café sales are reported net of sales discounts.

Revenue earned as a U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt franchisor is derived from cafés in our worldwide territory and includes initial franchise fees and royalties.

Initial franchise fee revenue from a franchise sale is recognized when we have substantially performed or satisfied all of our material obligations relating to the sale up through the point at which the franchisee is able to open the franchised U-Swirl café, and we have no intention of refunding the entire initial franchise fee or forgiving an unpaid note for the entire initial franchise fee. Substantial performance has occurred when we have (a) performed substantially all of our initial services required by the franchise agreement, such as providing to the franchisee (1) a copy of the Operations Manual; (2) assistance in site selection and selection of suppliers of equipment, furnishings, and food; (3) lease review and comments about the lease; and (4) the initial training course to one or two franchisee representatives; and (b) completed all of our other material pre-opening obligations. We defer revenue from the initial franchise fee until (a) commencement of operations by the franchisee; or (b) if the franchisee does not open the franchised U-Swirl café, (1) the date on which all of our pre-opening services and obligations are substantially complete, or (2) an earlier date on which the franchisee has

abandoned its efforts to proceed with the franchise operations, and in either situation, the franchisee is not entitled to, and is not given, a refund of the initial franchise fee. Royalties are recognized in the period in which they are earned.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and interim principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, this officer has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and interim principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
