CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

These factors include, among others:

 

current or future financial performance;

 

management’s plans and objectives for future operations;

 

uncertainties associated with product research and development

 

uncertainties associated with dependence upon the actions of government regulatory agencies;

 

product plans and performance;

 

management’s assessment of market factors; and

 

statements regarding our strategy and plans.

 

Actual results could differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties set forth in this Report and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions, and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

SEPTEMBER 30,JANUARY 31, 2021

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Home Bistro, Inc. (formerly known as Gratitude Health, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009. Effective March 23, 2018, the Company changed its name from Vapir Enterprises Inc. to Gratitude Health, Inc. On September 14, 2020, the Company changed its name from Gratitude Health, Inc. to Home Bistro, Inc. The Company is in the business of providing prepackaged and prepared meals to consumers focused on offering a broad array of the highest quality meal delivery, and preparation services. The Company’s primary former operations were in the business of manufacturing, selling, and marketing functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverages sold under the Company’s trademark (the “RTD Business”). The RTD Business was disposed on September 25, 2020 as discussed below.

 

On April 7, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the increase of authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (see Note 10).

On April 20, 2020, the Company, Fresh Market Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly created wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Home Bistro, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation formed on April 9, 2013, engaged in the food preparation and home-delivery business (presently known as Home Bistro Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation) and now wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Home Bistro Holdings”) (see Note 3), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into Home Bistro Holdings, with Home Bistro Holdings becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Home Bistro Holdings filed a Certificate of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 20, 2020 (see Note 3).

On April 20, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roy G. Warren, Jr., Mike Edwards, and Bruce Zanca resigned as directors of the Company and Roy G. Warren, Jr. resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The resignations were not the result of any disagreement related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Furthermore, on April 20, 2020, Mr. Zalmi Duchman, the Chief Executive Officer of Home Bistro Holdings, Michael Finkelstein and Michael Novielli were appointed as directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Duchman was appointed Chief Executive Officer.

The Merger constituted a change of control and the majority of the Board of Directors changed with the consummation of the Merger. The Company issued to the stockholders of Home Bistro Holdings shares of common stock and stock warrants which represented approximately 80% of the combined company on a fully converted basis after the closing of the Merger and approximately 51% of voting control. As a result of the above transactions and the Company’s intent to dispose or divest the assets and liabilities associated with the RTD Business, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange of Home Bistro Holdings. The consolidated financial statements are those of Home Bistro Holdings (the accounting acquirer) prior to the Merger and include the activity of the Company (the accounting acquiree) from the date of the Merger (see Note 3).

On September 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect (i) a 1 for 31.993 reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with fractional shares rounding up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (ii) the change of the Company’s name from “Gratitude Health, Inc.” to “Home Bistro, Inc.”. All share and per-share data and amounts have been retroactively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (see Note 3).

On September 14, 2020, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority approved the Company’s symbol change from “GRTD” to “HBIS”, effective twenty (20) business days from the approval date (see Note 3).

On September 25, 2020, the Company entered into, and closed the transactions contemplated by, that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Gratitude Keto Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Buyer” or “Gratitude Keto”), and the holder of 250,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (such stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”, and such stockholder, the “Stockholder”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer all of the Company’s business, assets and properties used, or held or developed for use, in its functional RTD Business, and the Buyer agreed to assume certain debts, obligations and liabilities related to the RTD Business. Furthermore, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer returned the 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Stockholder which was then cancelled by the Company upon return. As a result, the Company has no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Additionally, the RTD Business activities were reclassified and reported as part of “discontinued operations” for all periods presented on the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company assumed an accounts payable liability in the amount of $14,000 related to accounting expenses of the RTD Business for a period prior to the Merger. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer reimbursed the Company for the accounting expenses in amount of $14,000, of which $7,000 was payable in cash and the balance in form of a promissory note dated September 25, 2020 in the amount of $7,000. The promissory note bears an interest rate of 5% per annum, matures on April 25, 2021 and is payable in monthly installments of $1,000 commencing on October 25, 2020 through maturity (see Note 3).

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, food manufacturers, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. Additionally, the Company’s service providers and their operations may be disrupted, temporarily closed or experience worker or meat or other food shortages, which could result in additional disruptions or delays in shipments of Home Bistro’s products. To date, the Company has been able to avoid layoffs and furloughs of employees. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on the business if disruptions or delays in shipments of product occur. To date, the Company is not aware of any such disruptions. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for product and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. The Company has applied for and received certain financial assistance under the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted in March 2020 by the U.S. Government in response to COVID-19 (see Note 5)6).

 

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered and closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the members of Model Meals, LLC (“Model Meals”), acquiring Model Meals through a reverse triangular merger, whereby Model Meals merged with Model Meals Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Model Meals being the surviving entity (the “Acquisition”). As a result, Model Meals became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the members of Model Meals received and aggregate of 2,008,310 shares of common stock and were paid $60,000 in cash. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company issued on a pro rata basis, 2,008,310 shares of common stock equal to $2,000,000 divided by the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) immediately prior to closingwith grant date fair value of the Acquisition$ 2,028,393 (see Note 3).

In January 2022, the Company’s board of directors and management changed the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31st to October 31st, effective immediately (see Note 2).

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated 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 (“SEC”) for interim financial information, which present the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.active wholly owned subsidiaries, Home Bistro Holdings, Inc. and Model Meals LLC (acquired on July 6, 2021) for the period ending January 31, 2022. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending DecemberOctober 31, 2021.2022.

 

These interim unaudited condensedCertain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements forhave been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the period ending September 30, 2021 consist ofconsolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Transition Report, due to our change in fiscal year end, on Form 10-KT filed with the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and the related interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity deficit and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes, and reflect the acquisition of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Home Bistro Holdings and Model Meals which are fully disclosed in Note 3.SEC on January 31, 2022.

 


HOME BISTRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2021

Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, the Company had net loss and cash used in operations of $3,733,490$2,896,336 and $2,167,244,$1,432,527, respectively. At September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity, and working capital deficit of $10,066,879, $1,018,800$22,032,000, $4,247,562 and $652,901,$533,318, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company’s primary source of operating funds in 2021 washas primarily from the third-party advances and convertible notes payable and sale of common stock through private placements.and the issuance of convertible debt notes. The Company has experienced net losses from operations since inception but expects these conditions to improve in the near term and beyond as it develops its business model.

 

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources are not currently adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates as of September 30,January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include the assumptions used in the redemption recognition method for unredeemed gift cards, collectability of receivables and note receivable, value of inventory, useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions and derivative liabilities.

  

Cash

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At September 30,January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

  

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30,January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the bank balance was in excess of FDIC insured levels by approximately $1,160,000$1,004,000 and $197,000,$2,025,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2021.January 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2021.January 31, 2022. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
  
 Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
  
 Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, due from and to related parties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Assets or liabilities measured at fair value or a recurring basis included embedded conversion options in convertible debt (see Note 4) and were as follows at September 30, 2021:January 31, 2022:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 – Derivative and Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment, or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

 

Goodwill and OtherIndefinite Lived Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65,Goodwill represents the Company assessesexcess of purchase prices over the fair value of nets assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at a level of identifiable intangibles wheneverreporting referred to as the reporting unit, and more frequently if adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying valueasset may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:impaired.

 

1.Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

2.Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

WhenGoodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the Company determinesreporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carryingfair value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows,reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall company financial performance. If the Company records anreporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge. The Company measures anyloss is recognized up to a maximum amount of the recorded goodwill related to the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate withlosses are not reversed. There was no impairment loss of goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets for the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.three months ended January 31, 2022.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite life, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of non-perishable food items distributed by the Company and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves are based on estimates and included in cost of sales. As of September 30,January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the inventory balances were insignificant and the Company determined that there was no allowance needed.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues consist of high quality, direct-to-consumer, ready-made meals that can be ordered by customers through www.homebistro.com, www.modelmeals.com and restaurant quality meats and seafood through its Colorado Prime Brand. Revenues from the Company’s ready-made meals are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and title has transferred,transferred. It is at this point in time that the Company’s performance obligations have been completed. Product sales are recorded net of any discounts or allowances and include shipping charges.

 

Customers can purchase gift cards via phone or online through the Company’s e-commerce website. Gift card purchases are initially recorded as unredeemed gift card liabilities and are recognized as product sales upon redemption. Historically, the majority of gift cards are redeemed within two to three years of issuance. The Company does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards, and its gift cards do not have an expiration date.

 

Based on historical redemption patterns, a portion of issued gift cards are not expected to be redeemed (breakage). The Company uses the redemption recognition method for recognizing breakage related to unredeemed gift cards for which it has sufficient historical redemption information. Under the redemption recognition method, breakage revenue is recorded in proportion to, and over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. The estimated breakage rate is based on historical issuance and redemption patterns and is re-assessed by the Company on a regular basis. At least three years of historical data, which is updated annually, is used to estimate redemption patterns. Breakage revenue is included in product sales and the Company recorded nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (see Note 7). Model meals, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, does not have sufficient historical redemption information to recognize breakage. Therefore, all issued gift cards are recorded as a liability upon issuance and revenue when used.

 

Cost of Sales 

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize product related cost of sales in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the product costs are incurred which is upon delivery of product. Cost of sales includes the food and processing costs directly attributable to fulfillment and the delivery of the product to customers including both inbound and outbound shipping costs. In addition, the royalty fee related to the Joint Product Development and Distribution Agreement (see Note 11) was also included in cost of sales.

 

Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipped to customers are included in cost of sales and amounted to $317,844$182,472 and $79,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 168,331 and $22,709$83,302 for the three months ended September 30,January 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Advertising costsCosts

 

The Company participates in various advertising programs. All costs related to advertising of the Company’s products are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were $520,776$364,584 and $135,520, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $330,803 and $50,638$75,940, for the three months ended September 30,January 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, are presented on the accompanying condensedunaudited consolidated statement of operations as selling and marketing expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016,The Company accounts for its leases using the Financialmethod prescribed by ASC 842 – Lease Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessedassess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessmentlease at the inception of a contract which is based on: (1)on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2)(ii) whether the Company obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3)(iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocateallocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

 

Operating and financing lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Operating and financing lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable for stock options and stock warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

Concentration Risk

The Company purchased approximately 100% of its food products from one vendor during the three months ended January 31, 2021. The Company is not obligated to purchase from these vendors and, if necessary, there are other vendors from which the Company can purchase food products. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had accounts payable balance of $10,554 to this vendor.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had two kitchen facilities located at Pembroke Pines, FL 33009 and Santa Ana, CA. The Company started producing and packaging its food products at these locations in addition to purchasing food products from other vendors which mitigated this concentration risk.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and edging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance. To further improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, amendments in ASU 2020-06 increased information transparency by making the following amendments to the disclosure for convertible instruments:

1.Add a disclosure objective
2.Add information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed
3.Add information on which party controls the conversion rights
4.Align disclosure requirements for contingently convertible instruments with disclosure requirements for other convertible instruments
5.Require that existing fair value disclosures in Topic 825, Financial Instruments, be provided at the individual convertible instrument level rather than in the aggregate.

Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.

For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. Transactions that were settled (or expired) during prior reporting periods are unaffected. The cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. If an entity elects the fully retrospective method of transition, the cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented.

Prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company and certain of its existing securityholders entered into an Exchange Agreement providing for, among other things, the exchange (the “Exchange”) of securities held by such securityholders for shares of common stock, as more fully detailed therein. As a result of the Exchange, all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and convertible notes were converted into an aggregate of 5,405,479 shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis, consisting of 1,364,222 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 4,041,258 shares of common stock. The 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by a former officer were cancelled on April 9, 2020 pursuant to a General Release Agreement and 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by a related party remained issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger.

After the Exchange, a total of 1,899,094 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 4,041,258 shares of common stock and 60,638 stock options were deemed issued and outstanding.

At the effective time of the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Home Bistro Holdings was converted into the right to receive approximately four hundred seventy-three (473) shares of common stock. Accordingly, the aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Merger to the former securityholders of Home Bistro Holdings is 24,031,453 shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis consisting of 17,105,139 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 6,926,314 shares of common stock.

On April 20, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roy G. Warren, Jr., Mike Edwards, and Bruce Zanca resigned as directors of the Company and Roy G. Warren, Jr. resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The resignations were not the result of any disagreement related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Furthermore, on April 20, 2020, Mr. Zalmi Duchman, the Chief Executive Officer of Home Bistro Holdings, Michael Finkelstein and Michael Novielli were appointed as directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Duchman was appointed Chief Executive Officer (see Note 1).

In connection with the Merger, certain Company stockholders entered into a Lock-Up and Leak-Out Agreement with the Company pursuant to which, among other thing, such stockholders agreed to certain restrictions regarding the resale of common stock for a period of two years from the date of the Merger Agreement, as more fully detailed therein.

Additionally, on April 20, 2020, the Company and a stockholder entered into a Put Option Agreement (see Note 11), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed, at the election of the stockholder, to purchase certain shares of common stock from such stockholder no sooner than two years from the date of the Put Option Agreement (the “Market Period”). Pursuant to the Put Option Agreement, in the event that the stockholder does not generate $1.3 million dollars (the “Total Investment”) in gross proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the second anniversary of the Put Option Agreement, then the stockholder has the right to cause the Company to purchase shares held by the stockholder at a price equal to the difference between the Total Investment and the net proceeds actually realized by the stockholder from shares of common stock sold during the Market Period and the number of shares of common stock held by the stockholder on the date the put right is exercised. The put right expires fourteen (14) days from end of the Market Period.

At the time of the Merger, both the Company and Home Bistro Holdings had their own separate operating segments. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements after the Merger are those of Home Bistro Holdings and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Home Bistro Holdings. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of Home Bistro Holdings which are recorded at historical cost. The results of operations of the Company are consolidated with results of operations of Home Bistro Holdings starting on the date of the Merger Agreement.

Disposal of Discontinued Operations of the RTD Business

On September 25, 2020, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s business, assets and properties used, or held or developed for use, in its functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverage segment (the “RTD Business”), and the Buyer agreed to assume certain debts, obligations and liabilities related to the RTD Business. The Company assumed an accounts payable liability in the amount of $14,000 related to accounting expense of the RTD Business for a period prior to the Merger. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer reimbursed the Company for accounting expenses in amount of $14,000 incurred prior to the Merger, of which $7,000 was payable in cash and the balance in form of a promissory note dated September 25, 2020 in the amount of $7,000. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, matures on April 25, 2021 and is payable in monthly installments of $1,000 commencing on October 25, 2020 through April 25, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, $5,000 remained due on the promissory note. The Company received the $7,000 cash portion of the consideration as of December 31, 2020. The $14,000 reimbursement was recorded to additional paid in capital as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” establishes that the disposal or abandonment of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. As a result, the component’s results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The results of operations of this component, for all periods, are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Asset Purchase Agreement, discussed above under Agreement and Plan of Merger, was intended to be part of the Merger and in effect transferred the RTD Business and the related assets and liabilities to Gratitude Keto, whose CEO, Roy Warren Jr., formerly served as the Company’s director and Chief Operating Officer and was considered a related party, in substance, in the accounting of this transaction. Therefore, the disposal of net liabilities and the reimbursement discussed above in connection with the disposal of the RTD Business was recorded to additional paid in capital as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

Asset Acquisition – License Agreement

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a licensing agreement (“License Agreement”) with a celebrity chef and majority member interest holder of Homemade Meals, LLC (“Homemade Meals”). As a condition to finalizing the License Agreement, the Company executed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Member Agreement”) and issued an aggregate of 2,266,667 shares of common stock issued to other members with an aggregate fair value of $2,969,334, valued based on the market price of common stock on the close date of October 25, 2021. The shares issued to the other members were consideration to terminate an exclusivity and non-compete agreement the celebrity chef had with Homemade Meals. The Company issued the celebrity chef 2,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $2,620,000, valued based on the market price of common stock on the close date of Company’s common stock. The Company’s primary reason for acquiring the membership interests in Homemade Meals was to terminate the non-compete agreement between the celebrity chef and Homemade Meals, thereby enabling the celebrity chef to execute the License Agreement with the Company. At the time of execution of the Member Agreement, Homemade meals held no significant assets and had no business operations, and the Member Agreement was solely executed to terminate the exclusivity and non-compete agreement the celebrity chef had with Homemade Meals. The Company recorded the shares given to the celebrity chef and the members of Homemade Meals has two separate transactions. 

The Company and the celebrity chef (collectively as “Parties”) had a preexisting relationship and other arrangements before negotiations for the acquisition of Homemade Meals and had planned to enter into a License Agreement during the negotiations, which is separate from the Member Agreement. Since ASC 805-50 includes only general principles related to accounting for an asset acquisition and in the absence of specific guidance, the Company analogized to the guidance in ASC 805-10-25-20 through 25-21– Business Combination to identify and account for transactions that are separate from a business combination. Under this guidance, the Company, when applying the acquisition method, recognized “only the consideration transferred to acquire the asset, the license. Any separate transactions were accounted for separately from acquisition of the License Agreement in accordance with the relevant GAAP.

Therefore, in accordance with ASC 805-10-25-21, the Company accounted for the 2,000,000 shares of common stock with fair value of $2,620,000, valued based on the market price of common stock on the acquisition date, issued to the celebrity chef as the cost of the License Agreement and was recorded as an intangible asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the three-year term of the License Agreement. In addition, the aggregate of 2,266,667 shares of common stock issued to other members with an aggregate fair value of $2,969,334, valued based on the market price of common stock on the acquisition date, was accounted for as compensation to terminate the exclusivity and non-compete agreement and was recorded as product development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Pursuant to the December 2020 Note I, the Company received net proceeds of $234,100, net of $27,500 OID and $13,400 of issuance costs.

The Company uses the Binomial Valuation Model to determine the fair value of its stock warrants which requires the Company to make several key judgments including:

 

 the value of the Company’s common stock;
 the expected life of issued stock warrants;
 the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price;
 the expected dividend yield to be realized over the life of the stock warrants; and
 the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the stock warrants.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The Company’s computation of the expected life of issued stock warrants was based on the simplified method as the Company does not have adequate exercise experience to determine the expected term. The interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The computation of volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the stock warrants was estimated at issuance using the Binomial Valuation Model with the following assumptions:

Commitment Share True-Up Provision

The Amended December Note I, Amended January Note I, January Note II, March Financings, April 2021 Financing and May 2021 Note I (collectively as “Notes”), as discussed above, included a Commitment Share True-Up provision whereby if during the period beginning on the six-month anniversary of the date of the closing date and ending on the later of (i) the maturity date, or (ii) the date on which the Notes, is fully satisfied and cancelled (the “True-Up Period”), the then lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) for any Trading Day within the True-Up Period (“Subsequent Share Price”), as reported on the Company’s principal market, is less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of each Note, then the Company shall, within three (3) trading days of holder’s provision of written notice in (“True-Up Notice”), issue and deliver to the holder an additional number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to (X) the quotient of the Commitment Value (as defined below) divided by the Subsequent Share Price, multiplied by 1.5, less (Y) the Commitment Shares. The “Commitment Value” shall mean the product of the Commitment Shares multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date of each Note. Any additional shares of Common Stock issuable as defined in the Notes (“True-up Shares”), if required to be issued shall be issued provided however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to receive shares of common stock in excess of the amount that would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at that time. For purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder.

At the inception of the respective Notes, the value of the true-up shares is based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception to be settled with a variable number of shares if triggered which reflects stock settled debt. Therefore,During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company fully repaid two of its convertible notes payable resulting in the reduction in the accrued True-up Shares amounting to $93,750.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 8, 2020, the Company received federal funding in the amount of $14,612 through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP note bears an interest rate 0.98% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing six months after the effective date of the PPP note, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP note (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date can be extended to five years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the Company. The PPP note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP note, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP note. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. On April 28, 2021, the SBA authorized forgiveness of the outstanding principal balance of $14,612 and $142 of accrued interest payable of the Company’s PPP loan which has been recorded as a gain on debt forgiveness in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, the PPP note had no outstanding balance.

The change was primarily due to increase in interest expense in connection with convertible notes issued in 2021 of $426,409 and an increase in gain from change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,528.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other expense, net amounted to $961,718 as compared $3,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $957,906 or 25,129%.

The increase was due to the changes discussed above.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements


 

We currently have no external sources of liquidity, such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company received a loan in the aggregate amount of $14,612 under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“PPP Loan”), and a loan in the aggregate amount of $150,000 from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, the SBA forgave the outstanding principal of $14,612 and all accrued interest payable of the PPP Loan.Cash Requirements

We are dependent on our product sales to fund our operations and may require the sale of additional common stock and preferred stock to maintain operations. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans, and/or financial guarantees. 


Going Concern

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, the Company had net loss and cash used in operations of $3,733,490$2,896,336 and $2,167,244,$1,432,527, respectively. At September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity, and working capital deficit of $10,066,879, $1,018,800$22,032,000, $4,247,562 and $652,901,$533,318, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company’s primary source of operating funds in 20212022 was primarily from the third-party advances and convertible notes payable and sale of common stock through private placements. The Company has experienced net losses from operations since inception but expects these conditions to improve in the near term and beyond as it develops its business model.

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources are not currently adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Neither inflation nor changing prices for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021January 31, 2022 had a material impact on our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in the consolidated financial statements for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021January 31, 2022 affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 


Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates as of September 30,January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include the assumptions used in the redemption recognition method for unredeemed gift cards, collectability of receivables and note receivable, value of inventory, useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, , fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions and derivative liabilities.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2021.January 31, 2022. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, due from and to related parties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Goodwill and OtherIndefinite Lived Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65,Goodwill represents the Company assessesexcess of purchase prices over the fair value of nets assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at a level of identifiable intangibles wheneverreporting referred to as the reporting unit, and more frequently if adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying valueasset may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:impaired.

1.Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

2.Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

WhenGoodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the Company determinesreporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carryingfair value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows,reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall company financial performance. If the Company records anreporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge. The Company measures anyloss is recognized up to a maximum amount of the recorded goodwill related to the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate withlosses are not reversed. There was no impairment loss of goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets for the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.three months ended January 31, 2022.

 


 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite life, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 – Derivative and Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment, or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist of high quality, direct-to-consumer, ready-made meals that can be ordered by customers through www.homebistro.com, www.modelmeals.com and restaurant quality meats and seafood through its Colorado Prime Brand. Revenues from the Company’s ready-made meals are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and title has transferred. It is at this point in time that the Company’s performance obligations have been completed. Product sales are recorded net of any discounts or allowances and include shipping charges.

Customers can purchase gift cards via phone or online through the Company’s e-commerce website. Gift card purchases are initially recorded as unredeemed gift card liabilities and are recognized as product sales upon redemption. Historically, the majority of gift cards are redeemed within two to three years of issuance. The Company does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards, and its gift cards do not have an expiration date.

Based on historical redemption patterns, a portion of issued gift cards are not expected to be redeemed (breakage). The Company uses the redemption recognition method for recognizing breakage related to unredeemed gift cards for which it has sufficient historical redemption information. Under the redemption recognition method, breakage revenue is recorded in proportion to, and over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. The estimated breakage rate is based on historical issuance and redemption patterns and is re-assessed by the Company on a regular basis. At least three years of historical data, which is updated annually, is used to estimate redemption patterns. Model meals, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, does not have sufficient historical redemption information to recognize breakage. Therefore, all issued gift cards are recorded as a liability upon issuance and revenue when used.

Leases

In February 2016,The Company accounts for its leases using the Financialmethod prescribed by ASC 842 – Lease Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.


On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessedassess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessmentlease at the inception of a contract which is based on: (1)on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2)(ii) whether the Company obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3)(iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocateallocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Operating and financing lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Operating and financing lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and edging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance. To further improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, amendments in ASU 2020-06 increased information transparency by making the following amendments to the disclosure for convertible instruments:

1.Add a disclosure objective
2.Add information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed
3.Add information on which party controls the conversion rights
4.Align disclosure requirements for contingently convertible instruments with disclosure requirements for other convertible instruments
5.Require that existing fair value disclosures in Topic 825, Financial Instruments, be provided at the individual convertible instrument level rather than in the aggregate.

Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.

The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. Transactions that were settled (or expired) during prior reporting periods are unaffected. The cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. If an entity elects the fully retrospective method of transition, the cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 


Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

With respect to the quarterly period ending September 30, 2021,January 31, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021January 31, 2022 due to our limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. In connection with this evaluation, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of September 30, 2021:January 31, 2022:

 (1)Lackthe lack of an independent audit committee or audit committeemultiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial expert. Although our board of directors serves as the audit committee, it has only one independent director. These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchangesreporting issues, and lead to less supervision over management.business transactions,
   
 (2)We do not have sufficient experience froma lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting personnel with the requisite U.S. GAAP public company reporting experience that is necessary for adequate controls and procedures due tofunction as a result of our limited financial resources with appropriate skills, trainingto support hiring of personnel and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper applicationimplementation of generally accepted accounting principles. systems,
   
 (3)Need for greater integration, oversight, communicationa lack of operational controls and financial reportinglack of controls over assets by the booksacquired subsidiaries, and records of our office.
   
 (4)Lacka lack of sufficient segregationadequate controls over the board of duties such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controlsdirector’s approval and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.timely distribution and review of material contracts and agreements.
