The COVID-19 global pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The Company operates under the name Muscle Maker Grill, Pokemoto and SuperFit Foods and is continually monitoring the outbreaka franchisor and owner operator of COVID-19Muscle Maker Grill and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, labor shortages resulting from various factors including mandatory vaccination requirements, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. The pandemic has resulted in a negative impact onPokemoto restaurants. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s operations duringrestaurant system included nineteen Company-owned restaurants, including the year ended December 31, 2020SuperFit Foods kitchen, and continued into the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be an additional material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, the full impact could not be determined, as of the date of this report.eighteen franchise restaurants.

 

Going Concern and Management’s PlansLiquidity

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had a cash balance, a working capital surplus and an accumulated deficit of $4,971,62113,465,538, $2,425,63611,930,729, and $68,027,59275,052,859, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, the Company incurred a pre-tax net loss of $1,122,201 1,762,833and $4,833,8853,646,440, respectively, and net cash used in operations of $1,905,110 and $3,700,395 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Although managementThe Company believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are no commitments in place for new financing as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statementsits existing cash on hand and there can be no assurance that the Companyfuture cash flows from our franchise operations, will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company expects to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to (a) fund operations; plus (b) expand operations by opening additional corporate-owned restaurants. To that end, the Company may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional capital. If the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of timesufficient to fund its liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors.our operations, anticipated capital expenditures and repayment obligations over the next twelve months.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates include:

the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
estimates and assumptions used to value warrants and options;
the recognition of revenue; and
the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were 0cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the related asset. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture and equipment5 - 7 years
Vehicles5 years
Leasehold improvements0.5 10.38 years

Smallware, which consists of pots, pans and other cooking utensils, is carried at cost and any replacements are expensed when acquired.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recorded intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. In accordance with ASC 350, we dothe Company does not amortize intangible assets withhaving indefinite useful lives. OurThe Company’s trademark – Muscle Maker had an indefinite live as of December 31, 2021. The Company determined that as of January 1, 2022, the trademark - Muscle Maker had a finite life of 3 years and will be amortizing the value over the new estimated life. The Company’s goodwill has an indefinite life, and one of our trademarks are deemed to have indefinite lives, andis accordingly are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

Other intangible assets include a trademark with an indefinite useful life. The other intangible assets estimated original useful lives are as follows:

Recent Accounting PronouncementsImpairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In February 2016,When circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate that the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requirescarrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company performs an entityanalysis to recognize assetsreview the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, which includes estimating the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the expected future operations of the asset. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, operating trends and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investorsprospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other financial statement users better understandfactors. If the amount, timing, and uncertainty ofanalysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, arising from leases.

The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Any impairment losses are recorded as operating expenses, which reduce net income.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share-based payment transactions are significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a Company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

If the instrument is currently evaluating ASU 2018-07determined not to be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the commitment date to the effective conversion price of the instrument.

As of June 30, 2022 and its impact onDecember 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated financial statements.Company deemed the conversion feature was not required to be bifurcated and recorded as a derivative liability.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional clarificationCompany’s revenues consist of restaurant sales, franchise royalties and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”)fees, franchise advertising fund contributions, and have the same effective and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10 will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for emerging growth companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements.other revenues. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-11 relatedrecognized revenues according to transition relief on comparative reporting at adoption affect all entities with lease contracts that choose the additional transition method and separating components of a contract affect only lessors whose lease contracts qualify for the practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 are effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“Topic 842”) (“ASU 2019-01”). These amendments align the guidance for fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers in Topic 842 with that of existing guidance. As a result, the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement is its cost, reflecting any volume or trade discounts that may apply. However, if there has been a significant lapse of time between when the underlying asset is acquired and when the lease commences, the definition of fair value (in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement) should be applied. (Issue 1). The ASU also requires lessors within the scope of Topic 942, Financial Services—Depository and Lending, to present all “principal payments received under leases” within investing activities. (Issue 2). Finally, the ASU exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. (Issue 3). The transition and effective date provisions apply to Issue 1 and Issue 2. They do not apply to Issue 3 because the amendments for that Issue are to the original transition requirements in Topic 842. On June 3, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05 that extended the adoption to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-01 and its impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”,. Under the Companyguidance, revenue is recognized revenue in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In applying this five-step model, we have made significant judgments in identifying the promised goods or services in our contracts with franchisees that are distinct, and which represent separate performance obligations.

 

Restaurant Sales

 

Retail store revenue at Company operatedCompany-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discountdiscounts and other sales related taxes. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $2,750,734 and $5,444,926 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $2,564,864and $3,743,775during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $659,939 and $1,897,366 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct dormancy fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenues from gift cards as restaurant revenues once the Company performs its obligation to provide food and beverage to the customer simultaneously with the redemption of the gift card or through gift card breakage, as discussed in Other Revenues below.

 

Franchise Royalties and Fees

 

Franchise revenues consists of royalties, franchise fees and rebates. Royalties are based on a percentage of franchisee net sales revenue. The Company recognizes the royalties as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $121,001 and $229,422 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $104,430and $185,899during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $52,870 and $173,779 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company provides the franchisees with management expertise, training, pre-opening assistance, and restaurant operating assistance in exchange for the multi-unit development fees and franchise fees. The Company capitalizes these fees upon collection from the franchisee, these fees are then recognized as franchise fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the related franchise agreements and any exercised renewal periods. Cash payments are due upon the execution of the related franchise agreement. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to franchise fee revenues consists of a license to utilize the Company’s brand for a specified period of time, which is satisfied equally over the life of each franchise agreement. The Company recorded revenuesrevenue from franchise fees of $12,352 15,315and $22,13864,206, respectively, during the three and six monthsmonth ended June 30, 2021, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Franchise Royalties and Fees, continued

 

The Company has supply agreements with certain food and beverage vendors. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, rebates are provided to the Company based upon the dollar volume of purchases for all company-owned and franchised restaurants from these vendors. Rebates earned on purchases by franchise stores are recorded as revenue during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made. The Company recorded revenue from rebates of $52,767 26,164and $96,852 76,993 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $18,468 and $33,898during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Rebates earned on purchases by Company ownedCompany-owned stores are recorded as a reduction of food and beverage costs during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made.

Other Revenues

Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction. The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. The Company recognizes gift card breakage by applying its estimate of the rate of gift card breakage on a pro rata basis over the period of estimated redemption. Gift card liability is recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company determined that no gift card breakage is necessary based on current redemption rates.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s franchise agreements, as well as unearned vendor rebates. Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Franchise Advertising Fund Contributions

 

Under the Company’s franchise agreements, the Company and its franchisees are required to contribute a certain percentage of revenues to a national advertising fund. The Company’s national advertising services are provided on a system-wide basis and therefore, not considered distinct performance obligations for individual franchisees. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes these sales-based advertising contributions from franchisees as franchise revenue when the underlying franchisee Company incurs the corresponding advertising expense. The Company records the related advertising expenses as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses. When an advertising contribution fund is over-spent at year end, advertising expenses will be reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in an amount that is greater than the revenue recorded for advertising contributions. Conversely, when an advertising contribution fund is under-spent at a period end, the Company will accrue advertising costs up to advertising contributions recorded in revenue. The Company recorded contributions from franchisees of $16,170 and $34,295 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $4,742and $18,829, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in franchise advertising fund contributions on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the impact of potential common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of warrants, options or the conversion of convertible notes payable.

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares at June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Purchases from the Company’s largest supplier totaled 82.95% and 84.41% of the Company’s purchases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

15

MUSCLE MAKER, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The carrying amounts of accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short–term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of common stock and warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

See Note 12 –16– Equity – Warrant and Options Valuation for details related to an accrued compensation liability being fair valued using Level 1 inputs.

 

ReclassificationsLeased Assets

 

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conformThe Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the currentopening balance of accumulated deficit of $22,799 as of the adoption date. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments arising from the lease agreement. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement of the lease based upon the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the no cancelable period presentation. These reclassificationsof the lease together with periods covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease when management is reasonably certain that it will exercise such option. Changes in the lease term assumption could impact the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on the balance sheet. As our leases typically do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, we determine the present value of the lease liability using our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the lease term on a collateralized basis.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in the Company’s financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Uncertain tax positions have had no effectimpact on previously reported net loss.the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within years of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally recorded on the grant date and re-measured on financial reporting dates and vesting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount of the award is then recognized over the period services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires companies to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use leased assets on the balance sheets and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be enhanced to better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.

Additionally, in 2018 and 2019, the FASB issued the following Topic 842–related ASUs:

● ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which clarifies the applicability of Topic 842 to land easements and provides an optional transition practical expedient for existing land easements;

● ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which makes certain technical corrections to Topic 842;

● ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which allows companies to adopt Topic 842 without revising comparative period reporting or disclosures and provides an optional practical expedient to lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components of a contract if certain criteria are met; and

● ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which provides guidance for certain lessors on determining the fair value of an underlying asset in a lease and on the cash flow statement presentation of lease payments received; ASU No. 2019-01 also clarifies disclosures required in interim periods after adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 in the year of adoption.

The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit of $15,010 as of the adoption date, and recognized an additional $7,789 during the second quarter of 2022, based on updated information on two of our leases, for an aggregate cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $22,799. See Note 11 – Leases for further details.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations (“Topic 805”): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities were recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the extent of the impact of this ASU, but do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

 

We operateThe Company operates under the name SuperFit Foods, Pokemoto andnames Muscle Maker Grill, asPokemoto and SuperFit Foods and is a franchisor and owner-operatorowner operator of Muscle Maker Grill restaurants and Healthy Joe’sPokemoto restaurants. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s restaurant system included twenty-five company-ownednineteen Company-owned restaurants, including the SuperFit Foods kitchen, and fourteeneighteen franchise restaurants. SevenIn addition to these restaurants, the Company also operates from time to time with the following brand names under our ghost kitchen model: Meal Plan AF, Muscle Maker Burger Bar, Bowls Deep, Burger Joe’s, Wrap It Up, Salad Vibes, Mr. T’s House of Boba and Gourmet Sandwich. Our direct mail to consumer meal prep/plan program operates under the musclemakerprep.com and superfitfoods.com websites.

As of June 30, 2022, MMI consisted of four operating segments:

Muscle Maker Grill Restaurant Division
Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke Restaurant Division
Non-Traditional (Hybrid) Division
SuperFit Foods Meal Prep Division

MMI is our parent company. We own and operate three unique “healthier for you” restaurant concepts within our portfolio of companies: Muscle Maker Grill restaurants, SuperFit Foods meal prep and Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke restaurants. Our Company was founded on the belief of taking every-day menu options and converting them into “healthier for you” menu choices. Consumers are demanding healthier choices, customization, flavor and convenience. We believe our portfolio of companies directly satisfy these consumer needs. We focus on lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, proprietary sauces, whole grains and various other items like protein shakes, meal plans, specialty drinks and super foods. Each of our three concepts offers different menus that are tailored to specific consumer segments. We operate in the fast-casual and meal prep segments of the company-ownedrestaurant industry. We believe our “healthier for you” inspired concepts deliver a highly differentiated customer experience.

Muscle Maker Grill Restaurants (“Muscle Maker Grill”): our Muscle Maker Grill restaurants are delivery-onlyfast casual style restaurants specializing in “healthier for you” high quality, made to order, lean protein-based meals. These meals feature all-natural chicken breast, grass fed beef, lean turkey, shrimp and plant-based items. We pair these lean proteins with super foods such as avocado, quinoa, spinach, kale and broccoli, while also offering cauliflower rice, whole wheat pasta, sweet potato fries and proprietary specialty sauces like zero carb, fat free or gluten free options. Our products are made to order. The menu features bowls, wraps, salads and burgers. We also offer protein shakes and fruit smoothies along with meal plans and catering. Customers can dine in or take out or have their meals delivered to their door via Company delivery personnel or third-party services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and GrubHub.

33

SuperFit Foods Meal Prep (“SuperFit Foods”): SuperFit Foods is a wholly owned meal prep division located in Jacksonville, Florida and focuses solely on meal plans. The terms meal prep and meal plans will be used interchangeably throughout this document. The business operates with a centralized kitchen that prepares all meals for distribution to consumers twice per week. This is a subscription-based business model where consumers order their meals via the SuperFitfoods.com website and are charged automatically every week. There are over 150 meal plan options to choose from as well as various healthy juices, snacks and desserts. Meal plans focus on specific dietary needs such as vegetarian, high protein, gluten free and low calorie.

SuperFit Foods’ distribution process is different than most meal prep companies. The business operates with a centralized kitchen that prepares all meals for distribution to consumers twice per week. While other meal plan companies ship meals directly to consumer’s homes, the SuperFit Foods model uses Company-owned coolers placed at designated pick-up locations throughout the Jacksonville, Florida market. Pick up locations are placed inside wellness centers such as gyms, yoga studios, and various lifestyle locations. SuperFit Foods delivers twice per week by independent contractors to these locations and consumers conveniently pick up their orders after their workouts or during their daily routines. This model allows us to keep food fresh and refrigerated (even in the summer months), reduces shipping costs to consumers and provides an easier distribution model for the Company. While we do offer direct shipment or drop-offs to homes, this represents a smaller percentage of overall Company revenue. As the lockdowns and restrictions from Covid are reducing, we believe our distribution model becomes even more attractive for consumers.

Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke restaurants (“Pokemoto”): Pokemoto restaurants are fast casual style restaurants that specialize in Hawaiian inspired poke bowls, wraps and salads. Poke is native Hawaiian cuisine made up of diced fresh fish served as an appetizer or main course with strong influences of Japanese and Korean cuisine. Think of it as deconstructed sushi that a consumer can customize into a bowl, salad or wrap every time. Hawaiian Poke is trending in the restaurant industry. It is a unique segment that is healthy, customizable, popular with millennials and Gen-Zs, offers unique flavor profiles and is “Instagrammable.”

Pokemoto offers consumers the possibility to customize their order every time. Consumers move down a linear production line (similar to Chipotle or Subway customer interaction and operations) customizing their bowl from a wide selection of ingredients. Pokemoto offers five types of protein including SuperFit Foods.sushi grade tuna, salmon, chicken, shrimp or tofu. Consumers pick a base of white/brown rice or salad, select from over 25 mix-ins/toppings including avocado, kani salad, pickled daikon, hijiki seaweed, masago, caviar, mandarin oranges, edamame, mango, roasted cashews or wonton crisps to name a few and topped off with over eight proprietary sauces that are made in house. All this gets mixed together creating a flavor explosion that is customized for every consumer.

Pokemoto requires little to no cooking. Everything is either raw (tuna, salmon, veggies and fruits) or comes in pre-cooked (chicken and shrimp). The only cooking we do is soup and rice. It’s that simple. Because we have little cooking and consumers customize their orders, our labor requirements compared to most restaurants may be reduced. In addition, we believe training becomes much easier when you are not included incooking or requiring recipes to be followed while consumers customize their menu options. This creates a consistent product across all our Pokemoto restaurants as we expand into more markets. Finally, because we have little to no cooking, our build outs usually do not require expensive hoods, fire suppression systems, deep fryers, grills, ovens, etc. making the store count,potential cost of building out a location very favorable.

Non-Traditional (Hybrid) Division is a combination of the Company built four newaforementioned brands and provides its own unique experience for the consumer. Non-Traditional (Hybrid) locations on university campuses but due to Covid-19 restrictions have not yet opened theseare designed for unique locations but incurred expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.such as universities, military bases and cloud kitchens.

 

We believe our healthy-inspired restaurant concept delivers a highly differentiated customer experience. We combineexperience by combining the quality and hospitality that customers commonly associate with our full service and fast casual restaurant competitors with the convenience and value customers generally expect from traditional fast food restaurants, but in a healthy-inspired way.fast-food restaurants. The following core values form the foundation of our brand:brand is based on our core values of quality, empowerment, respect, service and value.

While this can have a negative effect on higher volume locations where we cannot leverage a fixed rent, it provides downside protection for lower volume locations. WhileThe Company does incur rent for some closed locations while we cannot guarantee a favorable variable rent expense in all future leases, we have forecasted average rental costs as a percentage of total sales at 8%.

Availability of Additional Funds and Going Concern

 

Although we have a working capital surplus of $2,425,636,$11,930,729, we presently have an accumulated deficit of $68,027,592,$75,052,859, as of June 30, 2021,2022, and we utilized $3,700,395$1,905,110 of cash in operating activities during the threesix months ended June 30, 2021, therefore we require additional equity and/or debt financing2022. We believe that our existing cash on hand and future cash flows from our franchise operations, will be sufficient to continuefund our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year fromoperations, anticipated capital expenditures and repayment obligations over the date of this filing.next twelve months.

 

Our principal source of liquidityIn the event we are required to date has been provided by loans and convertible loans from related and unrelated third parties, (ii) the sale of common stockobtain additional financing, either through borrowings, private placements, and (iii) and the salepublic offerings, or some type of common stock in public offerings.

The pandemic novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, federal, statebusiness combination, such as a merger, or buyout, and local government responses to COVID-19 and our Company’s responses to the outbreak have all disrupted and will continue to disrupt our business. In the United States, individuals are being encouraged to practice social distancing, restricted from gathering in groups and in some areas during the first quarter of 2020 continuing through the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, we have seen an increase in the cost of capital which adversely impacts access to capital.

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,000,000 (i) 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 4,115,227 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant”) and (iii) a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 2,865,227 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”). Each share and accompanying Common Warrant are being sold together at a combined offering price of $2.43 per share and Common Warrant, and each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant is being sold together at a combined offering price of $2.42 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable, at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share, and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrant is fully exercised. The Common Warrant will have an exercise price of $2.43 per share, are immediately exercisable and will expire five and one-half (5.5) years from the date of issuance. The Private Placement closed on April 9, 2021.

We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to (a) fund operations; plus (b) expand operations by opening additional corporate-owned restaurants. To that end, we may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securingsuch pursuits. We may be unable to acquire the additional capital. If we are unsuccessful, we may needfunding necessary to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund our liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors.

In addition,continue operating. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell one or more lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

 

If we are ableneed to raise additional capital, we do not know what the terms of any such capital raising would be. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities wouldcould dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure to raise additional funds on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q document have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates include:

 

the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
estimates and assumptions used to value warrants and options;issued in connection with notes payable;
the recognition of revenue; and
the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes.

 

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Intangible Assets

 

We accountThe Company accounts for recorded intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. In accordance with ASC 350, we dothe Company does not amortize intangible assets withhaving indefinite useful lives. OurThe Company’s trademark – Muscle Maker had a finite life as of December 31, 2021. The Company determined that as of January 1, 2022, the trademark - Muscle Maker had a finite life of 3 years and will be amortizing the value over the new estimated life. The Company’s goodwill has an indefinite life, and trademarks are deemed to have indefinite lives, andis accordingly are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

Other intangible assets include a trademark with an indefinite useful life. The other intangible assets estimated original useful lives are as follows:

 

Franchisee agreements13 years
 
Franchise license10 years
 
Trademark – Muscle Maker, SuperFit, Trademark –and Pokemoto domain name, customer list and proprietary recipes

 

3 – 5 - 7 years

 Domain name, Customer list and Proprietary recipes3 – 7 years
Non-compete agreement2 - 3 years

 

48

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

When circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, we perform an analysis to review the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, which includes estimating the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the expected future operations of the asset. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, operating trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Any impairment losses are recorded as operating expenses, which reduce net income.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s franchise agreements. Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with the Accounting Standards CodificationThe Company’s revenues consist of restaurant sales, franchise royalties and fees, franchise advertising fund contributions, and other revenues. The Company recognized revenues according to Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”,. Under the Companyguidance, revenue is recognized revenue in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In applying this five-step model, we have made significant judgments in identifying the promised goods or services in our contracts with franchisees that are distinct, and which represent separate performance obligations.

 

Restaurant Sales

 

Retail store revenue at Company operatedCompany-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discountdiscounts and other sales related taxes. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $2,750,734 and $5,444,926 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $2,564,864 and $3,743,775 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $659,939 and $1,897,366 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct dormancy fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenues from gift cards as restaurant revenues once the Company performs its obligation to provide food and beverage to the customer simultaneously with the redemption of the gift card or through gift card breakage, as discussed in Other Revenues below.

 

Franchise Royalties and Fees

 

Franchise revenues consists of royalties, franchise fees and rebates. Royalties are based on a percentage of franchisee net sales revenue. The Company recognizes the royalties as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $121,001 and $229,422 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $104,430 and $185,899 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company provides the franchisees with management expertise, training, pre-opening assistance, and restaurant operating assistance in exchange for the multi-unit development fees and franchise fees. The Company capitalizes these fees upon collection from the franchisee, these fees are then recognized as franchise fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the related franchise agreements and any exercised renewal periods. Cash payments are due upon the execution of the related franchise agreement. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to franchise fee revenues consists of a license to utilize the Company’s brand for a specified period of time, which is satisfied equally over the life of each franchise agreement. The Company recorded revenuesrevenue from franchise fees of $12,352$15,315 and $22,138, respectively,$64,206 during the three and six monthsmonth ended June 30, 2021, which is included in franchise royalties2022, respectively, and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Revenues

Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction. The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. The Company recognizes gift card breakage by applying its estimate of the rate of gift card breakage on a pro rata basis over the period of estimated redemption. Gift card liability is recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company determined that no gift card breakage is necessary based on current redemption rates.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Franchise Advertising Fund Contributions

 

Under the Company’s franchise agreements, the Company and its franchisees are required to contribute a certain percentage of revenues to a national advertising fund. The Company’s national advertising services are provided on a system-wide basis and therefore, not considered distinct performance obligations for individual franchisees. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes these sales-based advertising contributions from franchisees as franchise revenue when the underlying franchisee Company incurs the corresponding advertising expense. The Company records the related advertising expenses as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses. When an advertising contribution fund is over-spent at year end, advertising expenses will be reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in an amount that is greater than the revenue recorded for advertising contributions. Conversely, when an advertising contribution fund is under-spent at a period end, the Company will accrue advertising costs up to advertising contributions recorded in revenue. The Company recorded contributions from franchisees of $16,170 and $34,295 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $4,742 and $18,829 respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in franchise advertising fund contributions on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

38

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

 

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in our financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

 

50

Our policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b)Under the supervision and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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 a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded thatwe conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, were notas such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date our disclosure controls and procedures are effective duein recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information requested to material weaknessesbe disclosed by us in our internal control over financial reportingreports that existed as of June 30, 2021, as discussed below.we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

 

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified the following material weaknesses:

The Company does not have sufficient resources in its accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.
The Company has inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting.
The Company has significant deficiencies in the design and implementation of IT controls, specifically in the following areas: data center and network operations, access security and change management.

As a company with limited resources, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of the financial statements. This action, in addition to future improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quartersix months ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ItemITEM 1A. Risk Factors.RISK FACTORS.

 

Not applicable. See, however, Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.March 17, 2022.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to our discussion in the MD&A, and other sections of this report, to address effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have provided an additional risk factor regarding COVID-19 below. The impact of COVID-19 can also exacerbate other risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and this Report, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. The risks discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 do not identify all risks that we face—our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, “shelter in place” orders and other public health measures have been implemented across much of the United States.

The COVID-19 global pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The Company is continually monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, labor shortages resulting from various factors including mandatory vaccination requirements, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. The pandemic has resulted in a negative impact on the Company’s operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. However, due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be an additional material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, the full impact could not be determined, as of the date of this report.

Our Superfit Foods, LLC meal prep company located and operating in the Jacksonville, FL market is exposed to the risk of natural disasters.

Our meal prep service located and operating throughout the Jacksonville, Florida market could be subject to natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, floods, or tornados. Adverse weather conditions could result in events that adversely affect our services. Such events could result in physical damage to our property and outlying areas where our consumer base is located delaying future services and our total revenue and operation profits could be materially adversely affected. These events could also result in indirect consequences such as increase in cost of insurance if they result in significant loss of property.

Due to COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic, we and our franchisees may face labor shortages or increased labor costs due to local regulations associated with mandated vaccinations.

Labor is a primary component in the cost of operating our company-operated and franchised restaurants. Our success depends in part upon our and our franchisees’ ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of well-qualified restaurant operators, management personnel and other employees. Many industries, including the restaurant industry, are having difficulties in hiring and retaining qualified personnel as some employees have remained hesitant to rejoin the workforce.  In addition to these factors, some parts of the country are instituting proof of vaccination requirements for indoor dining or be employed in restaurant positions that interact with the public, large group settings or office spaces.  New York City has implemented these regulations as of August 16, 2021. The company may have to increase wages, reduce hours of operations or reduce menu offerings, among other tactics, to offset a potential lack of personnel to operate our restaurants. These events could materially affect our total revenue and operating profits.
