Upon default of the Firstfire Note, the interest increases to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law. The Firstfire Note is convertible at the option of Firstfire, at any time at a fixed conversion price of $0.01 (the “Firstfire Conversion Price”), subject to standard adjustments. If the Company issues securities for less than the Firstfire Conversion Price, the Firstfire Conversion Price shall be reduced to such an amount.

The Firstfire Warrant is exercisable commencing on the date of issuance and ending on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The Firstfire Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, and the number of Firstfire Warrant Shares is subject to customary adjustments.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Our independent accountantsfinancial condition and results of operations have expressed a "going concern" opinion.been and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics or disease outbreaks.

 

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The COVID-19 pandemic has caused businesses, including our business, as well as federal, state and local governments to implement significant actions to attempt to mitigate this public health crisis in the United States. Our financial statements accompanying this Prospectusoperations have been prepared assuming that we will continue asimpacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Future pandemics (or epidemics on a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Welocal basis) could have a minimal operating historysimilar impact on our business.

During 2020 and minimal revenues 2021, individuals in areas where we operate our restaurants were required to practice social distancing, restricted from gathering in groups and/or earnings frommandated to “stay home” except for “essential” purposes. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions, we were required to close or restrict our locations. The mobility restrictions, fear of contracting COVID-19 and the sharp increase in unemployment caused by the closure of businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our guest traffic, which in turn adversely impacts our business, financial condition or results of operations. WeEven as the mobility restrictions were loosened or lifted, we believe that some guests remained reluctant to return and the impact of lost wages due to COVID-19 related unemployment has dampened consumer spending. Our restaurant operations have no significant assetsbeen and could continue to be adversely affected by employees who are unable or unwilling to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, fear of contracting COVID-19 or caring for family members due to COVID-19 disruptions or illness. Restaurant closures, limited service options or modified hours of operation due to staffing shortages could materially adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues for the immediate future.See “DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS” and “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS –Liquidity and Capital Resources.” There are no assurances that we will generate profits fromcondition or results of operations.

 

We have not generated profits fromThe extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations.

We incurred net losses of $651,629 in 2017, and $701,873 in 2016. Based upon our current business plan, our ability to begin to generate profits from operations is dependent upon our obtaining additional financing to continue to develop our business plan and there can be no assurances that we will ever establish profitable operations. As we pursue our business plan, we are incurring significant expenses without corresponding revenues. In the event that we remain unable to generate significant revenues to pay our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve profitability or continue operations.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all.

We need to raise additional capital to support our current operations and fund our salesfinancial results depends on future developments and marketing programsis highly uncertain due to the unknown duration and severity of the outbreak, including developing additional company owned storesthe potential impact of the COVID-19 delta and expanding our marketing of our franchise concept. We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital in order to generate profits from operations. We can provide no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funding, our businessomicron variants. The situation is changing rapidly and future impacts may not continue as a going concern. Even if we do find additional funding sources, we may be required to issue securities with greater rights than those currently possessed by holders of our Common Stock. We may also be required to take other actions that may lessen the value of our Common Stock or dilute our common stockholders, including borrowing money on termsmaterialize that are not favorable to us or issuing additional equity securities. If we experience difficulties raising money in the future, our business and liquidity will be materially adversely affected.See “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS –Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below.

We do not currently have an external line of credit facility with any financial institution.

As indicated above, we have estimated that we need approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital to generate profits from operations. Aside from factoring our accounts receivable, we have attempted to establish credit facilities with financial institutions but have experienced little or no success in these attempts due primarily to the current economic climate, specifically the reluctance of most financial institutions to provide such lines of credit to relatively new business ventures. We also have limited assets available to secure such a line of credit.yet known. We intend to continue to attemptactively monitor the evolving situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our team members, customers, suppliers and shareholders. The further spread of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases, and the requirements or measures imposed or taken by federal, state and local governments and businesses to establish an external linemitigate the spread of such diseases, could disrupt our business or impact our ability to carry out our business as usual. Depending on the duration and severity of any such business interruption, we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity. There can be no guarantee that additional liquidity, whether through the credit markets or government programs, will be readily available or available on favorable terms to us. The ultimate impact of adverse events in the future on our operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or we, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced guest traffic, damage to our reputation and reduced operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic or other infectious diseases may also have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed in this prospectus, including, but therenot limited to, those related to our growth strategy, access capital markets and other funding sources, changes in consumer spending behaviors, supply chain interruptions and/or commodity price increases.

We are vulnerable to changes in economic conditions and consumer preferences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The restaurant industry depends on consumer discretionary spending and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions and demographic trends, including changes in behavior caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, factors such as traffic patterns, weather, fuel prices, local demographics, local regulations and the type, number and locations of competing restaurants may adversely affect the performances of individual locations. In addition, economic downturns, inflation or increased food or energy costs could harm the restaurant industry in general and our restaurants in particular. Adverse changes in any of these factors could reduce consumer traffic or impose practical limits on pricing that could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations. There can also be no assurancesassurance that consumers will continue to regard our menu offerings favorably, that we will be able to do so. The failuredevelop new menu items that appeal to obtain an external line of credit could haveconsumer preferences or that there will not be a negative impactdrop in consumer demand. Restaurant traffic and our resulting sales depend in part on our ability to generate profits.anticipate, identify and respond to changing consumer preferences and economic conditions. In addition, the restaurant industry is subject to scrutiny due to the perception that restaurant company practices have contributed to poor nutrition, high caloric intake, obesity or other health concerns of their customers. If we are unable to adapt to changes in consumer preferences and trends, we may lose customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in customer preferences, general economic conditions, discretionary spending priorities, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants affect the restaurant industry. Our success depends to a significant extent on consumer confidence, which is influenced by general economic conditions, local and regional economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, and discretionary income levels. Our sales may decline during economic downturns, which can be caused by various economic factors such as high gasoline prices, or during periods of uncertainty, such as those during the Covid-19 pandemic. Any material decline in consumer confidence or a decline in spending could cause our sales, operating results, business or financial condition to decline. If we fail to adapt to changes in customer preferences and trends, we may lose customers, fail to gain customers, and our sales may deteriorate.

Customer preference on how and where they purchase food may change because of advances in technology or alternative service channels. If we are not able to respond to these changes, or our competitors respond to these changes more effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Changes in the cost of food could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our profitability depends in part on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in the cost of sales of food items. We are susceptible to increases in the cost of food due to factors beyond our control, such as freight and delivery charges, general economic conditions, seasonal economic fluctuations, weather conditions, global demand, food safety concerns, infectious diseases, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, tariffs and import taxes, product recalls and government regulations. Dependence on frequent deliveries of food products subjects our business to the risk that shortages or interruptions in supply could adversely affect the availability, quality or cost of ingredients or require us to incur additional costs to obtain adequate supplies. Deliveries of supplies may be affected by adverse short-term weather conditions or long-term changes in weather patterns, including those related to climate change, natural disasters, labor shortages, or financial or solvency issues of our distributors or suppliers, product recalls or other issues. Further, increases in fuel prices could result in increased distribution costs. In addition, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations could occur if any of our distributors, suppliers, vendors, or other contractors fail to meet our quality or safety standards or otherwise do not perform adequately, or if any one or more of them seeks to terminate its agreement or fails to perform as anticipated, or if there is any disruption in any of our distribution or supply relationships or operations for any reason. Changes in the price or availability of certain food products, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect our profitability and reputation.

 

 

 

 311

Changes in the cost of ingredients can result from a number of factors, including seasonality, short-term weather conditions or long-term changes in weather patterns, natural disasters, currency exchange rates, increases in the cost of grain, consumer demand, disease and viruses and other factors that affect availability and greater international demand for domestic products. In the event of cost increases with respect to one or more of our raw ingredients, we may choose to temporarily suspend or permanently discontinue serving menu items rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients. Any such changes to our available menu could negatively impact our restaurant traffic, business and results of operations during the shortage and thereafter. While future cost increases can be partially offset by increasing menu prices, there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset future cost increases by such menu price increases. If we implement menu price increases, there can be no assurance that increased menu prices will be fully absorbed by our guests without any resulting change to their visit frequencies or purchasing patterns. Competitive conditions may limit our menu pricing flexibility and if we implement menu price increases to protect our margins, restaurant traffic could be materially adversely affected.

An important aspect of our growth strategy involves opening new restaurants in existing and new markets. We may be unsuccessful in opening new restaurants or establishing new markets and our new restaurants may not perform as well as anticipated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A key part of our growth strategy includes opening new restaurants in existing and new markets and operating those restaurants on a profitable basis. We must identify target markets where we can enter or expand, and we may not be able to open our planned new restaurants within budget or on a timely basis, and our new restaurants may not perform as well as anticipated. Our ability to successfully open new restaurants is affected by several factors, many of which are beyond our control, including our ability to:

·identify available, appropriate and attractive restaurant sites
·compete for restaurant sites;
·reach acceptable agreements regarding the lease or purchase of restaurant sites;
·obtain or have available the financing required to develop and operate new restaurants, including construction and opening costs, which includes access to leases and equipment leases at favorable interest and capitalization rates;
·respond to unforeseen engineering or environmental problems with our selected restaurant sites;
·respond to landlord delays and the failure of landlords to timely deliver real estate to us;
·mitigate the impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities on the development of restaurant sites;
·hire, train and retain the skilled management and other team members necessary to meet staffing;
·obtain, in a timely manner and for an acceptable cost, required licenses, permits and regulatory approvals and respond effectively to any changes in local, state or federal law and regulations that adversely affect our costs or ability to open new restaurants; and
·respond to construction and equipment cost increases for new restaurants.

There is no guarantee that a sufficient number of available, appropriate and attractive restaurant sites will be available in desirable areas or on terms that are acceptable to us in order to achieve our growth plan. If we are unable to open new restaurants, or if planned restaurant openings are significantly delayed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As part of our long-term growth strategy, we may open restaurants in geographic markets in which we have little or no prior operating experience. The challenges of entering new markets include: difficulties in hiring experienced personnel; unfamiliarity with local real estate markets and demographics; consumer unfamiliarity with our brand; and different competitive and economic conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns that are more difficult to predict or satisfy than in our existing markets. Consumer recognition of our brand has been important in the success of our restaurants in our existing markets, and we may find that our concept has limited appeal in new markets. Restaurants we open in new markets may take longer to reach expected sales and profit levels on a consistent basis and may have higher construction, occupancy and operating costs than existing restaurants. Any failure on our part to recognize or respond to these challenges may adversely affect the success of any new restaurants and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

12

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges or opportunities, including the need to open additional restaurants. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

New restaurants may not be profitable or may close, and the performance of our restaurants that we have experienced in the past may not be indicative of future results.

In new markets, the length of time before average sales for new restaurants stabilize is less predictable as a result of our limited knowledge of these markets and consumers’ limited awareness of our brand. Our ability to operate our restaurants profitably will depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

·consumer awareness and understanding of our brand;
·general economic conditions, which can affect restaurant traffic, local labor costs and prices we pay for the food;
·consumption patterns and food preferences that may differ from region to region;
·changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending;
·difficulties obtaining or maintaining adequate relationships with distributors or suppliers in new markets;
·increases in prices for commodities;
·inefficiency in our labor costs as the staff gains experience;
·competition, either from our competitors in the restaurant industry or our own restaurants;
·temporary and permanent site characteristics of new restaurants;
·changes in government regulation; and
·other unanticipated increases in costs, any of which could give rise to delays or cost overruns.

If our new restaurants do not perform as planned or close, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our growth strategy also includes continued development of our business through franchising. The opening and successful operation of our restaurants by franchisees depends on a number of factors, including those identified above, as well as the availability of suitable franchise candidates and the financial and other resources of our franchisees such as our franchisees’ ability to receive financing from banks and other financial institutions, which may become more challenging in the current economic environment. As noted above, identifying and securing an adequate supply of suitable new restaurant sites presents significant challenges because of the intense competition for those sites in our target markets, and increasing development and leasing costs. This may be especially true as we continue to expand. Further, any restrictions or limitations of credit markets may require developers to delay or be unable to finance new projects. Delays or failures in opening new restaurants due to any of the reasons set forth above could materially and adversely affect our growth strategy and our expected results.

Our success in part depends on the success of our franchisees’ business.

To achieve our expansion goals within our desired timeframe, we have adopted a franchising and area developer model into our business strategy. We hope to continue to open new company-owned restaurants, while also moving forward to developing our franchised operation where we will solicit others to become our franchisees. We have not used a franchising or area developer model in the past and may not be successful in attracting franchisees and developers to our business concept or identifying franchisees and developers that have the business abilities or access to financial resources necessary to open our restaurants or to develop or operate successfully our restaurants in a manner consistent with our standards. Incorporating a franchising and area developer model into our strategy will require us to devote significant management and financial resources to prepare for and support the eventual sale of franchises. If we are not successful in incorporating a franchising or area developer model into our strategy, we may experience delays in our growth or may not be able to expand and grow our business.

13

Our success also depends in part on the operations of our franchisees. While we provide training and support to, and monitor the operations of, our franchisees, the product quality and service they deliver may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control, including financial pressures and their own business operations, such as employment related matters. We strive to provide our customers with the same experience at company-owned restaurants and franchise-operated restaurants. Our customers may attribute to us problems which originate with one of our franchisees, particularly those affecting the quality of the service experience, food safety, litigation or compliance with laws and regulations, thus damaging our reputation and brand value and potentially adversely affecting our results of operations. Our growth expectations and revenues could be negatively impacted by a material downturn in sales at and to franchise-operated locations or if one or more key franchisees become insolvent.

Our franchisees could take actions that could harm our business.

Franchisees are independently owned and operated, and they are not our employees. Although we provide certain training and support to franchisees, our franchisees operate their shops as independent businesses. Consequently, the quality of franchised shop operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. Moreover, franchisees may not operate shops in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations or in accordance with our standards and requirements. Also, franchisees may not successfully hire and train qualified managers and other shop personnel. Although we believe we currently generally enjoy a positive relationship with our franchisees, there is no assurance that future developments, some of which may be outside our control, may significantly harm our future relationships with existing and new franchisees. In addition, our image and reputation, and the image and reputation of other franchisees, may suffer materially if our franchisees do not operate successfully, or in accordance with our standards and requirements, which could result in a significant decline in our sales, our revenues and our profitability.

Our failure to manage our growth effectively could harm our business and results of operations.

Our growth plan includes opening new restaurants. Our existing restaurant management systems, financial and management controls and information systems may be inadequate to support our planned expansion. Managing our growth effectively will require us to continue to enhance these systems, procedures and controls and to hire, train and retain managers and team members. We may not respond quickly enough to the changing demands that our expansion will impose on our management, restaurant teams and existing infrastructure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These demands could cause us to operate our existing business less effectively, which in turn could cause a deterioration in the financial performance of our existing restaurants. If we experience a decline in financial performance, we may decrease the number of or discontinue restaurant openings, or we may decide to close restaurants that we are unable to operate in a profitable manner.

Opening new restaurants in existing markets may negatively impact sales at our existing restaurants.

The consumer target area of our restaurants varies by location, depending on a number of factors, including population density, other local retail and business attractions, area demographics and geography. As a result, if we open new restaurants in or near markets in which we already have restaurants, it could have a material adverse effect on sales at these existing restaurants. Existing restaurants could also make it more difficult to build our consumer base for a new restaurant in the same market. Our core business strategy does not entail opening new restaurants that we believe will materially affect sales at our existing restaurants in the long term. However, due to brand recognition and logistical synergies, as part of our growth strategy, we also intend to open new restaurants in areas where we have existing restaurants. This plan could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and same-restaurant sales for our restaurants in such markets due to the close proximity with our other restaurants and market saturation. Unintentional sales cannibalization or sales cannibalization in excess of what was intended may become significant in the future as we continue to open new restaurants, and could affect our sales growth, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

14

Our plans to open new restaurants and the ongoing need for capital expenditures at our existing restaurants require us to spend capital.

Our growth strategy depends on opening new restaurants, which will require us to use cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity or debt offerings. We cannot assure you that cash flows from operations and the net proceeds of any offering will be sufficient to allow us to implement our growth strategy. If this cash is not allocated efficiently among our various projects, or if any of these initiatives prove to be unsuccessful, we may experience reduced financial results and we could be required to delay, significantly curtail or eliminate planned restaurant openings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our stock.

In addition, as our restaurants mature, our business will require capital expenditure for the maintenance, renovation and improvement of existing restaurants to remain competitive and maintain the value of our brand standard. This creates an ongoing need for cash, and, to the extent we cannot fund capital expenditures from cash flows from operations, funds will need to be borrowed or otherwise obtained.

If the costs of funding new restaurants or renovations or enhancements at existing restaurants exceed budgeted amounts, and/or the time for building or renovation is longer than anticipated, our profits could be reduced. If we cannot access the capital we need, we may not be able to execute our growth strategy, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

Incidents involving food-borne illness and food safety, including food tampering or contamination could adversely affect our brand perception, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Food safety is a top priority, and we dedicate substantial resources to help ensure that our guests enjoy safe, quality food products. However, food-borne illnesses and other food safety issues have occurred in the food industry in the past and could occur in the future. Incidents or reports of food-borne or water-borne illness or other food safety issues, food contamination or tampering, team member hygiene and cleanliness failures or improper team member conduct, guests entering our restaurants while ill and contaminating food ingredients or surfaces at our restaurants could lead to product liability or other claims. Such incidents or reports could negatively affect our brand and reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot guarantee to consumers that our food safety controls, procedures and training will be fully effective in preventing all food safety and public health issues at our restaurants, including any occurrences of pathogens (i.e., Ebola, “mad cow disease,” “SARS,” “swine flu,” Zika virus, avian influenza, hepatitis A, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, norovirus or other virus), bacteria (i.e., salmonella, listeria or E. coli), parasites or other toxins infecting our food supply. These public health issues, in addition to food tampering, could adversely affect food prices and availability of certain food products, could generate negative publicity and litigation, and could lead to closure of restaurants, resulting in a decline in our sales or profitability. In addition, there is no guarantee that our restaurant locations will maintain the high levels of internal controls and training we require at our restaurants. Furthermore, some food-borne illness incidents could be caused by third-party food suppliers and transporters outside of our control and may affect multiple restaurant locations as a result. We cannot assure you that all food items will be properly maintained during transport throughout the supply chain and that our team members will identify all products that may be spoiled and should not be used in our restaurants. The risk of food-borne illness may also increase whenever our menu items are served outside of our control, such as by third-party food delivery services, guest take out or at catered events. We do not have direct control over our third-party suppliers, transporters or delivery services, including in their adherence to additional sanitation protocols and guidelines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other infectious diseases, and may not have visibility into their practices. New illnesses resistant to our current precautions may develop in the future, or diseases with long incubation periods could arise, that could give rise to claims or allegations on a retroactive basis. One or more instances of food-borne illness in one of our restaurants could negatively affect sales at all our restaurants if highly publicized, such as on national media outlets or through social media. This risk exists even if it were later determined that the illness was wrongly attributed to one of our restaurants. Food safety incidents, whether at our restaurants or involving our business partners, could lead to wide public exposure and negative publicity, which could materially harm our business. Additionally, even if food-borne illnesses were not identified at our restaurants, our restaurant sales could be adversely affected if instances of food-borne illnesses at other restaurants were highly publicized.

15

Damage to our reputation and negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any incident that erodes consumer loyalty for our brand could significantly reduce its value and damage our business. We may be adversely affected by negative publicity relating to food quality, the safety, sanitation and welfare of our restaurant facilities, guest complaints or litigation alleging illness or injury, health inspection scores, integrity of our or our suppliers’ food processing and other policies, practices and procedures, team member relationships and welfare or other matters at one or more of our restaurants. Any publicity relating to health concerns, perceived or specific outbreaks of a food-borne illness attributed to one or more of our restaurants, or non-compliance with food handling and sanitation requirements imposed by federal, state and local governments could result in a significant decrease in guest traffic in all of our restaurants and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Furthermore, similar negative publicity or occurrences with respect to other restaurants or other restaurant chains could also decrease our guest traffic and have a similar material adverse effect on our business. In addition, incidents of restaurant commentary have increased dramatically with the proliferation of social media platforms. Negative publicity may adversely affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are held responsible. In addition, the negative impact of adverse publicity may extend far beyond the restaurant involved and affect some or all our other restaurants.

The digital and delivery business, and expansion thereof, is uncertain and subject to risk.

As the digital space around us continues to evolve, our technology needs to evolve concurrently to stay competitive with the industry. If we do not maintain and innovate our digital systems that are competitive with the industry, our digital business may be adversely affected and could damage our sales. We rely on third parties for our ordering and payment platforms. Such services performed by these third parties could be damaged or interrupted by technological issues, which could then result in a loss of sales for a period of time. Information processed by these third parties could also be impacted by cyber-attacks, which could not only negatively impact our sales, but also harm our brand image.

Recognizing the rise in delivery services offered throughout the restaurant industry, we understand the importance of providing such services to meet our guests wherever and whenever they want. We rely on third parties to fulfill delivery orders timely and in a fashion that will satisfy our guests. Errors in providing adequate delivery services may result in guest dissatisfaction, which could also result in loss of guest retention, loss in sales and damage to our brand image. Additionally, as with any third-party handling food, such delivery services increase the risk of food tampering while in transit. We are also subject to risk if there is a shortage of delivery drivers, which could result in a failure to meet our guests’ expectations.

Third-party delivery services within the restaurant industry is a competitive environment and includes a number of players competing for market share. If our third-party delivery partners fail to effectively compete with other third-party delivery providers in the sector, our delivery business may suffer resulting in a loss of sales. If any third-party delivery provider we partner with experiences damage to their brand image, we may also see ramifications due to our partnership with them.

Natural disasters, unusual weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks, political events, war and terrorism could disrupt our business and result in lower sales, increased operating costs and capital expenditures.

Our vendors and customers are located in areas, south as southern Florida, that have been and could be subject to natural disasters such as floods, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires or earthquakes. Adverse weather conditions or other extreme changes in short-term weather conditions or long-term changes in weather patterns related to climate change, including those that may result in electrical and technological failures, may disrupt our business and may adversely affect our ability to obtain food and supplies and sell menu items. Our business may be harmed if our ability to obtain food and supplies and sell menu items is impacted by any such events, any of which could influence customer trends and purchases and may negatively impact our revenues, properties or operations. Such events could result in physical damage to one or more of our properties, the temporary closure of some or all of our restaurants and our suppliers and distributors, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, temporary or long-term disruption in the transport of goods, delay in the delivery of goods and supplies to our restaurants and our suppliers and distributors, disruption of our technology support or information systems, or fuel shortages or dramatic increases in fuel prices, all of which would increase the cost of doing business. These events also could have indirect consequences such as increases in the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage. Any of these factors, or any combination thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial results may fluctuate from period to period as a result of several factors which could adversely affect our stock price.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that will affect our financial results include:

 

··acceptance of our restaurant concept and market penetration;
··the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the implementation of our business plan;
··the introduction of new products by our competitors;
··seasonality applicable to our geographic location; and
··general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to our industry.

As a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain pricing, service, or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We are an early-stage venture with limited operating history, and our prospects are difficult to evaluate.

We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in May 2015. We opened three additional locations by April 2016, all in Southern Florida, Because of the damage caused by Hurricane Irma, we had to close all of our restaurants from September 2017 through January 2018. We have also only recently commenced sales of franchises, where we have sold 2 to date. Therefore, there is nominal historical financial information related to our operations and contemplated business plan available upon which you may base your evaluation of our business and prospects.  The revenue and income potential of our business is unproven.  If we are unable to develop our business, we will not achieve our goals and could suffer economic loss or collapse, in which case you may lose your entire investment.

The fast-food segment of the restaurant industry is highly competitive.

 

We operate in the fast foodfast-food segment of the restaurant industry, which is highly competitive with respect to, among other things, taste, consumer trends, price, food quality and presentation, service, location and the ambiance and condition of the restaurant. Our competition includes a variety of locally owned restaurants, as well as national and regional chains. Our competitors offer dine-in, carry-out, delivery and drive-through services. Most of our competitors have existed longer and often have a more established brand and market presence with substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than us. Among our main competitors include Jimmy John’s, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Miami Subs Grill, Subway and Starbucks, most of whom have expanded nationally. As we expand, our existing restaurants may face competition from existing and new restaurants that operate in these markets.

 

Several of our competitors compete by offering menu items that are specifically identified as low in fat, carbohydrates and calories, allegedly better for customers, or otherwise targeted at healthier consumer preferences. Many of our competitors in the fast foodfast-food segment of the restaurant industry also emphasize lower cost, “value meal” menu options, which is a strategy we also pursue.

 

Moreover, new companies will likely enter our markets and target our customers. For example, additional competitive pressures have come recently from the deli sections and in-store cafés of several major grocery chains, including those targeted at customers who want higher quality and healthier food, as well as from convenience stores and casual dining outlets.  These competitors may have, among other things, lower operating costs, better locations, better brand awareness, better facilities, better management, more effective marketing and more efficient operations than we do.

 

In the restaurant industry, labor is a primary operating cost component. Competition for qualified employees could also require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees.

We also expect to compete for restaurant locations with other fast foodfast-food restaurants. Until our name is better recognized, landlords may prefer well-known fast foodfast-food restaurants over us and we may experience difficulties in securing desirable restaurant locations.

All of these competitive factors may adversely affect us and reduce our sales and profits.

We face risks associated with the expansion of our restaurant operations.

The success of our business model depends on our ability to open either additional company-owned or franchised restaurants. We may not have the funds required to open additional restaurants or be able to identify and secure sufficient restaurant sites that we consider favorable. Our success depends on our ability to operate and manage our growing operations. Our ability to expand successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:

·availability and cost of suitable restaurant locations for development;
·hiring, training, and retention of additional management and restaurant personnel in each local market;
·obtaining financing and negotiating leases with acceptable terms;
·managing construction and development costs of new restaurants at affordable levels, particularly in competitive markets;
·availability of construction materials and labor;
·securing required governmental approvals (including construction, parking and other permits) in a timely manner;
·continued development and implementation of management information systems;
·competitive factors; and
·general economic and business conditions.

Increased construction costs and delays resulting from governmental regulatory approvals, strikes, or work stoppages, adverse weather conditions, and various acts of God may also affect the opening of new restaurants. Moreover, newly opened restaurants may operate at a loss for a period following their initial opening. The length of this period will depend upon a number of factors, including the time of the year the restaurant is opened, the sales volume, and our ability to control costs.

We may not successfully achieve our expansion goals.  Additional restaurants that we develop may not be profitable. In addition, the opening of additional restaurants in an existing market may have the effect of drawing customers from and reducing the sales volume of our existing restaurants in those markets.

We may not be able to successfully execute a franchising and area developer strategy.

To achieve our expansion goals within our desired timeframe we have adopted a franchising and area developer model into our business strategy. We hope to continue to open new company-owned restaurants, while also moving forward to developing our franchised operation where we will solicit others to become our franchisees. We have not used a franchising or area developer model in the past and may not be successful in attracting franchisees and developers to our business concept or identifying franchisees and developers that have the business abilities or access to financial resources necessary to open our restaurants or to develop or operate successfully our restaurants in a manner consistent with our standards. Incorporating a franchising and area developer model into our strategy will required us to devote significant management and financial resources to prepare for and support the eventual sale of franchises.  If we are not successful in incorporating a franchising or area developer model into our strategy we may experience delays in our growth or may not be able to expand and grow our business.

 

Our expansion into new markets may present increased risks due to our unfamiliarity with those areas and our target customers’ unfamiliarity with our brand.

 

Our initial 3 restaurants are located, and future restaurants will be located, in markets where we have no operating experience and our restaurants may be less successful than restaurants where established restaurants are more familiar. Consumers in our new markets will not be familiar with our brand, and we will need to build brand awareness in those markets through investments in advertising and promotional activity. We may find it more difficult in our markets to secure desirable restaurant locations and to hire, motivate and keep qualified employees.

 

We expect to incur losses in the near future, which may impact our ability to implement our business strategy and adversely affect our financial condition.

 

We expect to significantly increase our operating expenses by expanding our marketing activities and increasing our level of capital expenditures in order to grow our business. Such increases in operating expense levels and capital expenditures may adversely affect our operating results if we are unable to immediately realize benefits from such expenditures.  In addition, if we are unable to manage a significant increase in operating expenses, our liquidity will likely decrease and negatively impact our cash flow and ability to sustain operations. In turn, this would have a negative impact on our financial condition and share price.

 

5

We also expect that our operating expenses will significantly increase as a result of becoming a public company in the future, of which there can be no assurance. We also cannot assure you that we will be profitable or generate sufficient profits from operations in the future. If our revenues do not grow, we may experience a loss in one or more future periods. We may not be able to reduce or maintain our expenses in response to any decrease in our revenue, which may impact on our ability to implement our business strategy and adversely affect our financial condition. This would also have a negative impact on our share price.

 

Food safety and food-borne illness concerns may have an adverse effect on our business.

We have and intend to continue to dedicate substantial resources to ensure that our customers enjoy safe, quality food products. However, food-borne illnesses (such as E. coli, hepatitis A, trichinosis or salmonella) and food safety issues are an ongoing issue in the restaurant industry. If a food-borne illness or other food safety issues occur, whether at our restaurant, or a competitor’s restaurant, it is likely that negative publicity would adversely affect our sales and profitability. If our customers become ill from food-borne illnesses, we might need to temporarily close our restaurant. Separately, the occurrence of food-borne illnesses or food safety issues could adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients and could increase the cost of insurance.

 

We face risks associated with changes in customer tastes and preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends.

Changes in customer preferences, general economic conditions, discretionary spending priorities, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants affect the restaurant industry. Our success depends to a significant extent on consumer confidence, which is influenced by general economic conditions, local and regional economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, and discretionary income levels. Our sales may decline during economic downturns, which can be caused by various economic factors such as high gasoline prices, or during periods of uncertainty, such as those that followed the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001. Any material decline in consumer confidence or a decline in family “food away from home” spending could cause our sales, operating results, business or financial condition to decline. If we fail to adapt to changes in customer preferences and trends, we may lose customers and our sales may deteriorate.

We rely on a single line of business.

Our only line of business is operating and developing franchised our restaurants. We have no plans to operate restaurants based on other concepts or to develop alternative business lines. If this restaurant concept fails in the marketplace, we may have to curtail drastically our business plans or cease operations altogether.

Changes in commodity and other operating costs or supply chain and business disruptions could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in food and supply costs are a part of our business; any increase in the prices of the cost to continue to increase in the near future. We may be unable to make the improvements in our operations to mitigate the effects of higher costs.

Failure to receive frequent deliveries of higher quality food ingredients and other supplies could harm our operations.

 

Our ability to maintain our menu depends in part on our ability to acquire ingredients that meet our specifications from reliable suppliers. Interruptions or shortages in the supply of ingredients caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution, food contamination, inclement weather or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of our ingredients, which could harm our operations If any of our distributors or suppliers fails to perform adequately, or our distribution or supply relationships are disrupted for any reason, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected. Our inability to replace or engage distributors or suppliers who meet our specifications in a short period of time could increase our expenses and cause shortages of food and other items at our restaurant, which could cause a restaurant to remove items from its menu. If that were to happen to our restaurants that affected our key ingredients such as beef, chicken, cheese and produce, it could adversely affect our operating results. We are susceptible to increases in food costs as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions, demand, food safety concerns, product recalls, labor disputes and government regulations. In addition to food, we purchase electricity, oil and natural gas needed to operate our restaurants, and suppliers purchase gasoline needed to transport food and supplies to us. Any significant increase in energy costs could adversely affect our business through higher rates and the imposition of fuel surcharges by our suppliers. Because we provide moderately priced food, we may choose not to, or be unable to, pass along commodity price increases to our customers. Additionally, significant increases in gasoline prices could result in a decrease ofin customer traffic at our restaurants. We rely on third-party distribution companies to deliver food and supplies to our restaurant. Interruption of distribution services due to financial distress or other issues could impact on our operations.

6

Our operating costs also include premiums that we pay for our insurance (including workers’ compensation, general liability, property and health). The cost of insurance has risen significantly in the past few years and we expect couldto experience significant reductions in sales during the shortage or thereafter, if our customers change their dining habits as a result.

 

In addition, we intend to use a substantial amount of naturally raised and organically grown ingredients and try to make our food as fresh as we can, in light of pricing considerations. As we increase our use of these ingredients, the ability of our suppliers to expand output or otherwise increase their supplies to meet our needs may be constrained. Our inability to obtain a sufficient and consistent supply of these ingredients on a cost-effective basis, or at all, could cause us difficulties in aligning our brand with the principle of “fresh and healthy.healthy,Thatwhich could in turn make us less popular among our customers and cause sales to decline.

18

 

If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

 

Our future success and ability to implement our business strategy depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel, and on the continued contributions of members of our senior management team and key technical personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. All of our employees, including our senior management, are free to terminate their employment relationships with us at any time. Competition for highly skilled technical people is extremely intense, and we face challenges identifying, hiring and retaining qualified personnel in many areas of our business. If we fail to retain our senior management and other key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our strategic objectives and our business could suffer.

 

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

 

Generally accepted accounting principles and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, trade promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

 

If we are unable to build and sustain proper information technology infrastructure, our business could suffer.

 

We depend on information technology as an enabler to improve the effectiveness of our operations and to interface with our customers, as well as to maintain financial accuracy and efficiency. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain the proper technology infrastructure, we could be subject to transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, the loss of customers, business disruptions, or the loss of or damage to intellectual property through security breach. Our information systems could also be penetrated by outside parties’ intent on extracting information, corrupting information or disrupting business processes. Such unauthorized access could disrupt our business and could result in the loss of assets.

 

The restaurant industry, specifically the fast food industry, is highly competitive and we expect to face increased competition as new and existing competitors introduce competing products, which could negatively impact our results of operations and market share.

Most of our competitors have greater name recognition, as well as greater financial resources that those available to us. If we are not able to compete effectively against companies with greater resources, our prospects for future success will be jeopardized.

We are dependent upon third party suppliers of our raw materials.

 

We are dependent on outside vendors for our supplies of raw materials. While we believe that there are numerous sources of supply available, if the third-party suppliers were to cease production or otherwise fail to supply us with quality raw materials in sufficient quantities on a timely basis and we were unable to contract on acceptable terms for these services with alternative suppliers, our ability to produce our products would be materially adversely affected.

7

 

Our inability to protect our trademarks, patents and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.

 

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks, patents and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, patented processes, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably exploit our products or recoup our associated research and development costs.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate due to factors that are difficult to forecast and not within our control.

Our past operating results may not be accurate indicators of future performance, and you should not rely on such results to predict our future performance. Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past, and could fluctuate in the future. Factors that may contribute to fluctuations include:

 

changes in aggregate capital spending, cyclicality and other economic conditions, or domestic and international demand in the industries we serve;
19

 

our ability to effectively manage our working capital;

our ability to satisfy consumer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner;

pricing and availability of labor and materials;

our inability to adjust certain fixed costs and expenses for changes in demand;

seasonal fluctuations in demand and our revenue; and

disruption in component supply from foreign and or domestic vendors.

If we are unable to manage any future growth effectively, our profitability and liquidity could be adversely affected.

Our ability to achieve our desired growth depends on our execution in functional areas such as management, sales and marketing, and general administration and operations. To manage any future growth, we must continue to improve our distribution, operational and financial processes and systems and expand, train and manage our employee base. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

We may be subject to legal claims against us or claims by us which could have a significant impact on our resulting financial performance.

 

At any given time, we may be subject to litigation, the disposition of which may have an adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operation. Such claims include but are not limited to and may arise from product liability and related claims in the event that any of the products that we sell is faulty or containscontain defects in materials or design. We may be subject to patent infringement claims from our products. In addition, we may be subject to claims by our lenders, claims for rent, and claims from our vendors on our accounts payable; and although we have been able to obtain understandings with the foregoing and have informal forbearance agreements from those parties, one or more of them may elect to commence collection proceedings which could result in judgments against us and have a significant negative impact on our operations.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, the management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants who will increase our costs and expenses.

 

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

 

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our becoming a reporting company, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.0 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $75 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

 

As a result of disclosure of information in this Prospectus and in future filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides thatOur independent auditors have issued an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Actaudit opinion for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However,our company, which includes a statement describing our going concern status. Our financial status creates doubt whether we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, andwill continue as a going concern.

Our auditors have issued an opinion regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and our inability to obtain adequate financing. This means there is substantial doubt we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue in business. As such we will comply with newmay have to cease operations and investors could lose part or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoptionall of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides thattheir investment in our decisioncompany.

Risks Relating to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.our Common Stock

 

Our management and principal shareholders have the ability to significantly influence or control matters requiring a shareholder vote and other shareholders may not have the ability to influence corporate transactions. The sale of a large number of shares of Common Stock by our principal shareholders could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Currently, our management and principal shareholders beneficially own in excess of a majorityapproximately 63% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, they have the ability to determine the outcome on all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.

Risks RelatingOur Common Stock is considered a “penny stock,” and any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability. “Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our Common Stock difficult. Limitations upon Broker-Dealers Effecting Transactions in “Penny Stocks”

 

ThereTrading in our Common Stock is nosubject to material limitations as a consequence of regulations which limit the activities of broker-dealers effecting transactions in “penny stocks.” Pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, our Common Stock is a “penny stock” because it (i) is not listed on any national securities exchange (ii) has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, and (iii) its issuer (the Company) has net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for at least three (3) years) or $5,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for less than three (3) years).

Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act imposes limitations upon trading activities on “penny stocks”, which makes selling our Common Stock more difficult compared to selling securities which are not “penny stocks.” Rule 15a-9 restricts the solicitation of sales of “penny stocks” by broker-dealers unless the broker first (i) obtains from the purchaser information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, (ii) reasonably determines that the purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person is capable of evaluating the risks of investing in “penny stocks”, and (iii) delivers and receives back from the purchaser a manually signed written statement acknowledging the purchaser’s investment experience and financial sophistication.

Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act require broker-dealers who engage in transactions in “penny stocks” first to provide their customers with a series of disclosures and documents, including (i) a standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investing in “penny stocks”, (ii) all compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction, (iii) current quotation prices and other relevant market for our securitiesdata, and there(iv) monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.

There can be no assurance that such a market will develop in the future.

We intend to cause an application to be filed on our behalf to trade our Common Stock on the OTCQB in the near future. There is no assurance that our application will be approved, or once approved that a market will develop in the future or, if developed, that it will continue. In the absence of a public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in our Company.

There are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTCQB and it is possibleany broker-dealer which initiates quotations for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during a lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution, which may affect your trades in our securities.

Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTCQB, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders, an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price, it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.

If our application to trade our Common Stock is approved, our stock will be considered a “penny stock” so long as it trades below $5.00 per share. This can adversely affect its liquidity.

If our application to trade our Common Stock on the OTCQB is approved, of which there can be no assurance, it is anticipated that our Common Stock will be considered a “penny stock” and will continue to be considered a penny stockdo so, long as it trades below $5.00 per share and as such, trading in our Common Stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction.

SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers byloss of any such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities. In addition, few broker or dealers arebroker-dealer likely to undertake these compliance activities. Other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack ofwould have a liquid market.

The market price of our Common Stock could make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through sales of equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.may fluctuate significantly in the future.

We expect that the market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are beyond our control:

·competitive pricing pressures;
·our ability to market our services on a cost-effective and timely basis;
·our inability to obtain working capital financing, if needed;
·changing conditions in the market;
·changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·stock market price and volume fluctuations generally;
·regulatory developments;
·fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
·additions or departures of key personnel; and
·future sales of our Common Stock or other securities.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or in anticipation that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock, if and when such a market develops in the future.

The price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you and which may include the complete loss of your investment. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of stock price volatility. We may be the target of similar litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and our resources away from our business. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales and profitability and also the price of our Common Stock.

 

ProvisionsThe provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.

We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.0 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage once we put such coverages in place, which we intend to implement in the near future. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in this Prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and operating results.

The market price for our Common Stock willmay be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company, with a limited operating history and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

While there is no market for

The price of our Common Stock our price volatility in the future willmay be particularly volatile when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats. The volatility in our share price will be attributable to a number of factors. First, our Common Stock will be, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price forof our shares could decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our Common Stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time.

 

22

Our future results may vary significantly, which may adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

 

It is possible that our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful indicators of the future. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. It is also possible that in some future quarters, our revenues and operating results will fall below our expectations or the expectations of market analysts and investors. If we do not meet these expectations, the price of our Common Stock may decline significantly.

   

WeOur internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
·provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
·provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are classified asno longer an “emerging growth company” as welldefined in the JOBS Act if we take advantage of the exemptions available to us through the JOBS Act.

The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.

As a public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of maintaining a public company reporting requirements could be significant and may preclude us from seeking financing or equity investment on terms acceptable to us and our shareholders. We estimate these costs to be in excess of $100,000 per year and may be higher if our business volume or business activity increases significantly. Our current estimate of costs does not include the necessary expenses associated with compliance, documentation and specific reporting requirements of Section 404 as we will not be subject to the full reporting requirements of Section 404 until we exceed $700 million in market capitalization or we decide to opt-out of the “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act. This exemption is available to us under the JOBS Act or until we have been public for more than five years.

If our revenues are insufficient or non-existent, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of shares or debt, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business. This would certainly result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

23

We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 and a “smaller reporting company” and, we cannot be certain ifas a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, will make our Common Stock may be less attractive to investors.

As a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we expect to be classified asWe are an "emerging“emerging growth company,"company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Sectionsection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

12

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act” or “33 Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted outare choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.standards.

 

We couldwill remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of:earlier of (i) the last day of the first fiscalyear following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering, (ii) the last day of the year in which ourwe have total annual gross revenues exceed $1revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (ii)(iii) the date thatlast day of the year in which we becomeare deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completedthe second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iii)(iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the precedingprior three-year period.period..

 

Notwithstanding the above,Even after we expect thatno longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we would be a “smaller reporting company.” In the event that we aremay still consideredqualify as a “smaller reporting company,” at such time are we ceasewhich would allow us to continue to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including, among other things, not being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt fromcomply with the provisionsauditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b)404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation reportpresenting only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting;Form 10-K and have certain other decreasedreduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures inthis prospectus and our SEC filings due to ourperiodic reports and proxy statements.

Our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company”under the JOBS Act may make it hardermore difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors, and it may be difficult for us to analyzeraise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares.

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of our authorized shares that are not issued. In addition, we may attempt to raise additional capital by selling shares, possibly at a deep discount to the market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute Common Stock book value, and that dilution may be material.

24

There is a limited trading market for our shares of common stock on the OTCQB. You may not be able to sell your shares of common stock if you require funds.

Our Common Stock is traded on the OTCQB, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities. There has been limited trading activity in our Common Stock. We consider our Common Stock to be “thinly traded” and any last reported sale prices might not be a true market-based valuation of the Common Stock. Stockholders may experience difficulty selling their shares if they choose to do so because of the illiquid market and limited public float for our Common Stock.

Our stock price may be volatile, or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

You should consider an investment in our Common Stock to be risky, and you should invest in our Common Stock only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuation in the market value of your investment. The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the factors described in this section and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

·Actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual operating results or those of companies perceived to be similar to us;
·Weather conditions;
·Changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors, or differences between our actual results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;
·Fluctuations in the market valuations of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
·The public’s response to our or our competitors’ filings with the SEC or announcements regarding new products or services, enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic investments, litigation, restructurings or other significant matters;
·Speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;
·Future sales of our shares;
·Actions by our competitors;
·Additions or departures of members of our senior management or other key personnel; and
·The passage of legislation or other regulatory developments affecting us or our industry.

In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market price of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, loss of investor confidence, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our shares.

If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to securities class action litigation that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

The trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The price of our Common Stock could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our Common Stock or if those analysts issue a sell recommendation or other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who elect to cover us downgrade our common shares, our share price could decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our share price and trading volume to decline.

25

If we fail to remain current on our SEC reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB marketplace, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTCQB must be SEC reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reporting obligations, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB marketplace. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market if our Common Stock is not eligible to be quoted on the OTCQB marketplace. This may have an adverse material effect on the Company’s business operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock.

We intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to compliance with applicable law and any contractual provisions, and will depend on, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. As a result, you should expect to receive a return on your investment in our Common Stock only if the market price of the Common Stock increases, which may never occur.

Shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. The convertible notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to the market as described above, and such discount to market provides the holders with the ability to sell their common stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such an overhang, the noteholders will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease. Notwithstanding the above, we hope to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.

We could face significant penalties for our failure to comply with the terms of our outstanding convertible notes.

Our convertible notes contain positive and negative covenants and customary events of default including requiring us in many cases to timely file SEC reports. In the event we fail to timely file our SEC reports in the future, or any other events of defaults occur under the notes, we could face significant penalties and/or liquidated damages and/or the conversion price of such notes could be adjusted downward significantly, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial prospects. Should we ceasecondition, or cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

Certain of our outstanding convertible promissory notes include favored nation rights.

Certain of our outstanding convertible promissory notes include provisions which provide that, so long as such notes are outstanding, the Company shall not enter into any public or private offering of its securities (including securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock) with any individual or entity that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such other investor in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such other investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the holder of our convertible notes unless, in any such case, the holder has been provided with such rights and benefits pursuant to a definitive written agreement or agreements between the Company and the holder. Such favored nations provisions could be triggered in the future and could materially change the terms of the notes. In the event any favored nations provisions of the notes are triggered, it may cause the terms of such notes to be an “emerging growth company” but remainmaterially amended in favor of the holders thereof, cause significant dilution to existing shareholders, and otherwise have a “smaller reporting company”, we would be required to: (1) comply with new or revised US GAAP accounting standards applicable to public companies, (2) comply with new Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements applicable tomaterial adverse effect on the audits of public companies, and (3) to make additional disclosures with respect to related party transactions, namely Item 404(d).Company.

Risks Relating To This Offering

The sale of shares of our Common Stock to MacRab under the Purchase Agreement may cause dilution, and the subsequent resale of the shares of our Common Stock acquired by MacRab, or the perception that such resales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

Under the Purchase Agreement, we may require MacRab to purchase up to $7.5 million of our Common Stock, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we would be unable to sell shares to MacRab if such purchase would result in its beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of our outstanding Common Stock. After MacRab has acquired our shares, it may sell all, some, or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to MacRab by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock to MacRab, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish. Under the Purchase Agreement, The per-share purchase price for our shares to MacRab will be equal to 90% of the of the average of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for six trading days following the clearing date associated with the put notice delivered by the Company to MacRab during which the purchase price is valued. Depending on market liquidity at the time, resales of these shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to fall.

 

ThereMacRab will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our Common Stock.

We will sell shares of our Common Stock to MacRab pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at 90% of the VWAP average of the Common Stock on OTCQB during six consecutive trading days immediately following the clearing date associated with the applicable put notice during which the purchase price is no publicvalued. MacRab has a financial incentive to sell our Common Stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market forprice. If MacRab sells the securities and even if a market is created,shares, the market price of our Common Stock will be subject to volatility.could decrease.

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the securities offered herein will develop after this Offering, or, if developed, be sustained. We anticipate that, upon completion of this Offering, we will cause an application to be filed on our behalf to list our Common Stock for trading on the OTCQB. If for any reason, however, our application is not approved or if and when listed we do not take all action necessary to allow such market to continue quotation on the OTCQB or a public trading market does not develop, purchasersThe issuance of our Common Stock upon exercise of our outstanding warrants in this Offering will cause immediate and substantial dilution.

The issuance of shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of warrants by the Selling Shareholders, including MacRab, will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of the warrants may have difficultyultimately receive and sell the full number of shares issuable in connection with exercise of such warrants. Although the warrants may not be converted or exercised if such conversion or exercise would cause the holders thereof to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding Common Stock, this restriction does not prevent the holders of the warrants from converting or exercising some of their holdings, selling those shares, and then converting or exercising the rest of their securities should they desireholdings, while still staying below the 4.99% limit. In this way, the holders of these warrants could sell more than any applicable ownership limit while never actually holding more shares than the applicable limits allow. If the holders of the warrants choose to do so andthis, it will cause substantial dilution for the then holders may lose their entire investment.of our Common Stock.

  

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low pricedlow-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

27

Because our Common Stock is deemed a low-priced “penny stock,” it will be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our Common Stock, making the market for our Common Stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.

We will be subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rules as defined in Rule 3a51-1. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Since our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading is subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers. These require a broker-dealer to:

·Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
·In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, penny stock rules and FINRA rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our Common Stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.

State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which you can sell the shares offered by this Prospectus.

 

If you purchase shares of our Common Stock sold in this Offering, you may not be able to resell the shares in any state unless and until the shares of our Common Stock are qualified for secondary trading under the applicable securities laws of such state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying our Common Stock for secondary trading or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our Common Stock in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, our Common Stock in any particular state, our Common Stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our Common Stock, the market for our Common Stock will be limited which could drive down the market price of our Common Stock and reduce the liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock and a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock at all or at current market prices, which could increase a stockholder’s risk of losing some or all of his investment.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders registering Common Stock and any of his/her pledges, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Stockholders may offer shares in transactions at fixed or negotiated prices. We intend to encourage a securities broker-dealer to apply on Form 211 to quote our stock in the OTCQB, concurrent with the date of the Prospectus, but we cannot assure when or whether this application will be approved or that, if approved, quotations of our Common Stock will commence on any trading facility or will result in the development of a viable trading market for our shares sufficient to provide stockholders with the opportunity for liquidity.See “RISK FACTORS.” Sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling security holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·privately negotiated transactions;
·settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part;
·broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
·a combination of any such methods of sale; or
·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales in amounts to be negotiated, but in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown not in excessive amounts. Each Selling Stockholder may be an underwriter, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may also be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit earned on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. A Selling Stockholder, who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act is subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Common Stock, which are estimated at approximately $42,386. The Selling Stockholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with the sale of the Common Stock. We are paying the expenses of the Offering because we seek to enable our Common Stock to be traded on the OTCQB. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of existing shareholders may facilitate the development of a public market in our Common Stock if our Common Stock is approved for trading on the OTCQB. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the 33 Act.

We agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this Prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this Prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

The decrease of $188,212. We believe this decrease arosein revenue is primarily as a result of Hurricane Irma, which caused significant damageattributable to the area in September 2017. All of our restaurants were closed until January 2018 in order to renovate the premises from the damage done by the hurricane. Our 2017 revenue represents approximately 8+ months of operations, while 2016 represents a full year of operations. Further, the economy in Southern Florida is seasonal, as the population increases significantly beginning in the fall, through the spring. Because we closed during fourwinding down and closing of the busiest months of the year because of the seasonality of the Southern Florida economy.

Payroll costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $30,685, as compared to 48,575 for the corresponding period ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a decrease of $104,405,$17,890.

Net Loss

As a result of operations and sales being affected by Hurricane Irma, which greatly affected the area in early September 2017. We expect that cost of goods will remain relatively constant at 40% of gross revenues for our corporate owned restaurants.

Operating expensesforegoing, during the yearthree months ended December 31, 2017, were $1,042,747, compared to operating expenses of $1,209,492September 30, 2023, we incurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $166,745. This decrease arose from our stores being closed for the last calendar quarter of 2017 due to Hurricane Irma, as well as decreased executive compensation of $86,473, consulting and professional fees of $37,015, and payroll expense of $56,263. However, we did incur franchise consulting fees during 2017 that we did not incur in 2016. All other operating expenses remained relatively constant in 2017 and 2016.

This is attributable to lower sales volumes due to the winding down of the Company’s Wyndham location.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company began transitioning its business model, as a result of the Company’s new partnership with celebrity Chef, Scott Conant, and the creation of a new brand, named ‘The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe and Italian DeliSM which is wholly owned by the Company and of which the sales and development of the new franchise brand will be headed by the Company’s franchise consultant, Fransmart.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss attributable to the Company of $4,554,473 compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $838,739.

This nominal decrease in the$509,408 cash used in 2017 compared to 2016 wasoperating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 period is primarily attributable to anthe increase in loans payable in 2017,operating losses, net of non-cash items, offset by higher accrued liabilitieschanges in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $491,409 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $805,000 during 2016.the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reason for the decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to a reduction in net proceeds from convertible and promissory notes of approximately $375,000, offsets by proceeds from the Company equity line of approximately $65,000 compared to $-0- in the comparable period in 2022.

 

We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 to fully effectuate our business development plans, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and enhance the marketing of our franchise concept.

There can be no assurances that additional financing, either through equity or debt, will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all. While we have had discussions with potential investors and investment bankers, we have had no agreement with any third party to provide additional financing. Our inability to obtain additional financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations.

Covid-19 has also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which impacts our ability to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.

During 2016Cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $213,106 compared to $203,121 during the year ended December 31, 2021. This slight increase in cost of sales in 2022 over 2021 levels is attributable to higher food costs in 2022, offset by improved operating efficiencies.

Operating expenses

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared to assume that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments for the recoverability and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of the financial statements that may be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting estimatesThe discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Stock-based Compensation – We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Prospectus. Such a location was intended to serve as the distribution center for future products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid-19 in Europe.

In June of 2020, the Company entered into a multi-unit development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) pursuant to which requires usit granted development rights to evaluateDemasar Management, Inc.

The product launch began in November of 2020 and Kisses From Italy branded products were in nine retail stores by the end of 2020. Currently, Kisses From Italy branded products are in 40 stores across Ontario and Quebec, Canada.

In April of 2021, we entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Fransmart, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fransmart”), pursuant to which we engaged Fransmart as our exclusive global franchise developer and representative for a period of ten years.

In June 2021 and November 2021, the Company opened its first two franchise locations in Chino, California and Montreal, Canada, respectively. Since the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees at both locations so that the franchisees could establish operations at each of those locations.

In June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham restaurants into one location to become more efficient. In May 2023, the Company made the decision not to renew a lease agreements we enter intoin Wyndham Palm Aire location and to determine whether they representclose its operations there. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company was no longer operating or capital leases at the inceptionPompano Beach Wyndham Palm Aire location and had one remaining corporate owned restaurant open in Fort Lauderdale.

The new restaurant, Brand and Concept will be The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe & Italian Deli SM, inspired by the tight-knit Italian community, nicknamed “Pontes,” of Waterbury, Connecticut.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview and History

Kisses From Italy, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “Kisses”) is a Florida corporation incorporated on March 7, 2013, which is focused on developing a fast casual food dining chain restaurant business. We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in May 2015. Thereafter, by April 2016 we opened three additional locations, all in Southern Florida, through a working relationship with Wyndham Hotels, where we have built two of our other locations. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in Southern Florida, causing significant damage to the area. As a result, we closed all of our stores for renovation following the storm. Our Fort Lauderdale location was reopened in early November 2017. We reopened two of the hotel locations in in Pompano Beach in January 2018 but elected not to reopen our 4th location, as this location suffered significant damage in the storm. See “Restaurant Development” below. Our intention is to own and operate up to 6 of our restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations.

In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License and now have the ability to sell franchises in all of the states in the US except for New York, Virginia and Maryland which we intend to add at later dates if sufficient demand exists. In June 2017, we completed the sales of two franchise locations in Florida. We anticipate commencement of the building and development of these locations by the end of 2018

We strive to provide the highest level of service, high qualityhigh-quality ingredients, and products. Enveloped in our mission is our philosophy to support and partner with local producers and suppliers within the regions in order to provide a truly authentic experience to our customers. Our vision is to leverage the success fromof our flagship store and our initial hotel locationslocation in the South Florida market and to expand into other regions on a local, state, national, and global level. The main focus is doing so through our continued corporate ownedcorporate-owned store expansion, along with the development and sales of additional locations through the advancement of our franchise and territorial rights program.

 

Our principal offices are located at 80 SW 8th St. Suite 2000, Miami, Florida, 33130, telephone (305) 423-7024During the first quarter of 2023, the Company began transitioning its business model, as a result of the Company’s new partnership with celebrity Chef, Scott Conant, and our websitethe creation of a new brand, named ‘The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe and Italian DeliSM’ which is www.kissesfromitaly.com.wholly owned by the Company and of which the sales and development of the new franchise brand will be headed by the Company’s franchise consultant, Fransmart.

Current Business Plan

Each of our restaurants has been and will continue to be designed to deliver great-tasting food in less than five minutes for in-restaurant dining or take-out orders.  In addition, the restaurant’s menu and operating systems have been specifically designed for consistent quality, which we believe is necessary for high-growth franchising. Hours of operation are expected to be from 7:00am to 11:00pm, subject to change if additional hours are required based upon the respective location of our restaurants.

Quick Service Restaurants

Our initial and the only operating restaurant as of the date of this Prospectus is located at 3146 NE 9th Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This location is across the street from an Atlantic Ocean public beach and consists of approximately 1,000 square feet of a retail restaurant with seating for up to 25 guests. See “Property,” below. This restaurant opened for business in May 2015. Subsequently, weWe opened three additional similar restaurants, all in Southern Florida. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the area, which caused a significant setbackvarious Wyndham Hotel properties in the implementationPompano Beach, Florida area that became fully operational by April 2016, but in December 2017, the Company vacated one of our business plan.

Except for the Fort Lauderdale location, all of ourhad one remaining corporate owned restaurant locations arose out of a relationship we established with Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc., which operates time share apartment complexes. Of our three restaurants, two are located in Wyndham time share resort properties where they are the only restaurants on site. Our lease agreements provide for our restaurants to provide room service that can be charged to the customer’s room, as well as an opportunity to provide food and beverage service to various sales, orientations, marketing and owner events held by Wyndham on a regular basis on these properties. Wyndham remits payments for these services bi-weekly and charges us with a 5% administrative fee for processing costs.

The initial relationship with Wyndham has provided us with an additional revenue stream that we had not considered when we originally began implementing our business plan. We have continued our discussions with Wyndham, as well as other similar companies and believe that our continued expansion of our restaurant concept will be enhanced as a result of our developing a more extensive relationship with Wyndham or another similar company. There are no assurances this will occur/

This discrepancy in development costs is primarily attributable to additional unforeseen costs for additional remodeling that we deemed necessary in order to have the new locations to our standards.

Franchisees willare also be required to satisfactorily complete training and purchase certain equipment and supplies from us and other approved suppliers. We will also require the purchase of a point-of-sale system and data polling services from a specified supplier and a computer system that meets established system standards.

 

Franchisees will be required to purchase approximately 90% to 95% of their supplies and food inventory either directly from us, or from approved suppliers. We will attempt to negotiate system-wide volume discounts and/or rebates for our franchisees from approved suppliers and if successful, pass such discounts and/or rebates on to franchisees based on the volume of their purchases from the suppliers providing the discounts.

 

TheOur franchise agreement iswith franchisees also expected to requirerequires our franchisee to pay royalties of 8%9% of gross sales, which are defined to be total actual charges for all products (food and non-food) and services, such as catering and delivery, sold to customers, exclusive of taxes, onevery week.

The marketing fund to be maintainedis broken down in two parts, 2% for local marketing and administered by us, depending upon the number and location of franchise operations owned by a franchisee.1% for national marketing. We anticipate that until national coverage is warranted, local and/or regional marketing campaigns maywill be implemented.

In the event of a breach of or default under the lease or a payment by a franchisee as a result of a breach or default, we may be entitled to possession of the restaurant and all of our rights, title, and interest in and to the lease. We also expect to enter into a conditional assignment of telephone numbers and listings that assigns us telephone numbers and directory listings upon termination or expiration of a franchiseefranchise relationship.

 

We anticipate that theThe initial term of a franchise agreement will beis ten years, with a renewal provision of between 2-5 years on the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement so long as there has been substantial compliance with the franchise agreement and pay a to-be-determined fee for each renewal.

  

Franchisees willare also be required to replace any franchise that terminates or expires or any restaurant that closes within the territory if necessary, to maintain the number of our named restaurants required in the development schedule. If a franchisee fails to meet the development schedule, we mayhave the right to terminate the franchise agreement or adjust that territory to eliminate any state in the territory where we they have not achieved the minimum number of restaurants required for that state.

 

We will beare required to perform the following services:

Franchise Marketing

 

Our marketing strategy for establishing multi-unit franchises is to contact individuals or entities that have previously developed franchises in other concepts. This strategy allows us to find people with the proper knowledge, experience, and financial resources to develop a successful franchise operation in a timely fashion.

 

We are seekingseek individuals or groups with the skills and financial strength to operate multi-unit franchise organizations within specific geographic territories.  These persons must qualify on the basis of their skill sets and financial ability to develop a territory. We anticipate that a franchise territory will consist of areas that are either cities or counties depending on population. We seek to identify people with considerable experience in the management of food service venues who also have sufficient start-up capital to open several of our restaurants.

As of the date of this Prospectus we We have entered into discussions with several possible franchise owners. It is anticipated that these franchisees will initially open multiple units, including restaurants in Florida, New York and California, the United Kingdom, Italy and Canada. However, there isowners, however. we currently have no definitive agreement binding these potential franchisees to purchasing any of our franchises and there are no assurances that we will sell any franchises in the future.franchise agreements.

 

We will consider the skills and investment capital that each potential multiple franchise owner presents to determine the size and nature of the territory and the minimum number of our restaurants that the franchise owner will be required to maintain in the territory in order keep the exclusive rights to that territory. We will review the demographics of each proposed location to consider the appropriate number of restaurants in each area based upon population and other factors including per capita income and then set the minimum number of restaurants at half the amount. Franchisees will not be restricted from opening additional restaurants beyond the minimum for their territory. We have not yet generated revenue from the sourcing of franchises and there are no assurances we will ever generate revenues from this business concept.

 

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company began transitioning its business model, as a result of the Company’s new partnership with celebrity Chef, Scott Conant, and the creation of a new brand, named ‘The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe and Italian DeliSM which is wholly owned by the Company and of which the sales and development of the new franchise brand will be headed by the Company’s franchise consultant, Fransmart.

Commissary System

 

We plan to develop centralized commissary facilities that will serve all of the restaurants that we own in a given region. We believe that a commissary that serves a region of restaurants will improve efficiency and consistency for the restaurant concept. We also believe that a commissary system will allow our restaurants to be approximately 500 square feet smaller than they would otherwise be. We plan to build commissaries in areas with lower rent. In this manner, we plan to save the difference between the 500 fewer square feet that retail rental space would cost and the commissary’s costs located in a lower rentlower-rent area. Our commissary will have storage space for paper products as well as walk-in coolers to store food. Food preparation for sauces, salad dressings, and other base ingredients will be done in the commissary “clean room” and then delivered to local restaurants daily. We believe central food preparation of sauces and base ingredients will maintain the consistency of our restaurants’ products and possibly reduce labor costs.

 

25

Restaurant Advertising

 

Our advertising has and will consist primarily of newspaper print ads, direct mailing efforts and also through social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets. We also participated in other forms of advertising. For example, we intend to use an airplane to advertise our Kisses banner to the Fort Lauderdale beach crowd, offering promotional free coffee and T-shirts. Our ads will contain a coupon for a free coffee with the purchase of any meal item.

 

As we open restaurants in new markets we plan to duplicate the advertising effort we employed in Fort Lauderdale and to spend initially approximately 2% to 3% of monthly revenue for local advertising on a per company-owned restaurant basis. Since we plan to build multiple restaurants simultaneously within a specific geographic region, we believe our advertising cost as a percentage of revenue will decrease as we increase the number of restaurants within a region. There are no assurances we will successfully open multiple restaurants moving forward.in the future.

 

Employees

 

We currently employ 8 full time persons, plus our officers. Employees include 4 chefs, 3 barista’s and an inventory manager. Our employees work at will and are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees is excellent in most cases. We require all our employees and consultants to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement.  Our success relies on our ability to hire additional employees, particularly on the local sales side. We believe there are numerous quality people to choose from throughout our area of targeted expansion.

43

 

As we grow we anticipate in the near future we will require a franchise director and a Chief Financial Officer/Controller, as well as various administrative support personnel.

Property

Our principal place of business is located at 80 SW 8th St. Suite 2000, Miami, Florida, 33130, which is an executive virtual office. This location consists of approximately 1,000 square feet of office and conference room space. The relevant lease expired March 1, 2014, but we have reverted to a month to month tenancy.

Competition

 

The fast foodfast-food segment of the restaurant industry is highly competitive and fragmented. In addition, fast food restaurants compete against other segments of the restaurant industry, including fast-casual restaurants and casual dining restaurants. The number, size, and strength of our competitors vary by region. Our competitors also compete based on a number of factors, including taste, the speed of service, value, name recognition, restaurant location, and customer service.

 

The restaurant industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional, or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number, and location of competing food retailers and products; and disposable purchasing power. Our restaurant concept is expected to compete with international, national, and regional restaurant chains as well as locally ownedlocally-owned restaurants. We will compete not only for customers, but also for management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites, and qualified franchisees.

 

26

We believe that each of the following restaurants may provide competition to our proposed restaurants because they all are franchise operations that sell sandwiches and coffee:

 

·Jimmy John’s
·Subway
·Chipotle Mexican Grill
·Miami Subs Grill
·Starbucks

 

Of the above-listed restaurants, all are larger and have significantly greater financial resources than we currently have available.

Government Regulations

 

We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws affecting our business. Our restaurants must comply with licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, sanitation, safety, and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. In addition, we must comply with various state laws that regulate the franchisor/franchisee relationship.

 

We are also subject to federal and state laws governing employment and pay practices, overtime, tip credits, and working conditions. The bulk of our employees are paid on an hourly basis at rates related to the federal and state minimum wages.

 

WeIn addition, we are also subject to federal and state child labor laws which, among other things, prohibit the use of certain “hazardous equipment” by employees 18 years of age or younger. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, we could be required to expend funds to modify our restaurants to better provide service to or make reasonable accommodation for the employment of disabled persons. We continue to monitor our facilities for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act in order to conform to its requirements. We believe future expendituresexpenditure for such compliance would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

As a potential franchisor, we will be soliciting prospects for franchises and are subject to federal and state laws pertaining to franchising. These laws require that certain information be provided to franchise prospects at certain times and regulate what can be said and done during the offering process. Some states require the franchise offering circular to be registered and renewed on an annual basis.

Industry Overview

 

AccordingThe 2023 National Restaurant Association State of the Restaurant Industry report examines key factors impacting the industry including the current state of the economy, operations, workforce, and food and menu trends to forecast sales and market trends for the year ahead. The report is an authoritative look at the industry and its opportunities based on a range of national surveys of restaurant owners, operators, chefs, and consumers.

Key findings illustrating the industry’s economic conditions include:

·Growth will continue: The foodservice industry is forecast to reach $997 billion in sales in 2023, driven in part by higher menu prices;
·Industry help wanted: The foodservice industry workforce is projected to grow by 500,000 jobs, for total industry employment of 15.5 million by the end of 2023;
·Building on a Solid Foundation: For 70% of operators, business conditions have settled into or are on the path to their new version of normal;
·Consumers want restaurant experiences: 84% of consumers say going out to a restaurant with family and friends is a better use of their leisure time than cooking and cleaning up;
·Rising costs create challenges: 92% of operators say the cost of food is a significant issue for their restaurant.
·Competition is heating up: In 2023, 47% of operators expect competition to be more intense than last year.

“The restaurant and foodservice industry is fueling the American economy. Our hiring rate and wage increases are outpacing the overall private sector, and this year our industry will contribute nearly $1 trillion to the economy,” said Michelle Korsmo, president & CEO of the National Restaurant Association, the fast food industry’s economic health is now a leading indicatorAssociation. “The 2023 State of the nation’s economic health,Restaurant Industry report offers an in-depth analysis of what’s driving this growth and industry growth is a significant factorthe tremendous opportunities for restaurant owners, operators, and team members who want to grow their businesses and expand their careers.”

Pandemic Pivots become Permanent

The temporary “pivots” developed during the pandemic — expanded delivery services, outdoor dining options, to-go alcohol offerings, and investments in technology — are the foundation of the industry’s “new normal.” At least 4 in 10 operators in each of the three limited-service segments — quick service, fast casual, and coffee and snack — believe the addition of drive-thru lanes will become more common in 2023. For others, outdoor dining and alcohol-to-go are becoming table stakes. Across all six major segments, more than 9 in 10 operators plan to continue offering outdoor seating and the same number of operators are also likely to continue offering alcohol-to-go, if their jurisdiction allows it.

Despite widespread investment in technology in the nation’s economic outlook. Restaurant industry sales are growing, with projected sales of $660.5 billion in 2013, up approximately 9% in two years. On a typical day,last few years, the restaurant industry sales are $1.8 billion across the 980,000 restaurant locations nationwide. Today, restaurant industry sales are 4%is still far from becoming a tech-centric sector. Most operators still consider their use of the U.S. GDP. Like 2012, focus on cost containment, value, quality, price and international expansion will be on most restaurateurs' wish-list to tide over some of the macro difficulties this year.

These investments are anticipated mostly in the coming six months on an improving economy. Restaurant operators' capital spending plans are also riding uphill, reaffirming their positive outlook. We are optimistic of bottom-line expansion in the near term. In addition, for every dollar spent in restaurants, an additional $2 is generated in sales for other industries, generating even more tax dollarsorder and economic activity.

Two-thirds of adults say they’re more likely to order takeout food costs account for about one-thirdfrom a restaurant than they were before the pandemic.

Off-premises-only locations are expected to grow in popularity; more than 4 in 10 limited-service operators think they will be more common this year.

69% of adults say they like the option to dine outside.

An Industry of Opportunity

The restaurant sales, thus making theand foodservice industry vulnerable to food cost inflation. As suggested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report, price inflation for all food is expected at 2.5-3.5% in 2013 down from the prior expectation of 3-4% level. Commodities like fish and seafood, dairy products, fats and oils, cereals and bakery products and other foods will likely witness a decline in prices. However, prices for beef and pork have risen significantlyadded 2.8 million jobs over the past 624 months, duebringing the industry total to 15 million at the end of 2022; however, the foodservice industry remains 400,000 jobs below pre-pandemic levels.

Most restaurant operators will be actively looking to boost staffing levels in 2023, while carefully balancing staffing needs with business conditions. Eighty-seven percent of operators say they’ll likely hire additional employees during the next 6–12 months if qualified applicants are available. Key figures on the restaurant workforce include:

Between 2023 and 2030, the foodservice industry is projected to add an average of roughly 150,000 jobs a year, with total staffing levels projected to reach 16.5 million by 2030.

Only 1 in 10 operators think recruiting and retaining employees will be easier in 2023 than it was in 2022.

The restaurant industry has long been the primary training ground for new entrants to the severe droughtworkforce and in parts2022, nearly a quarter of the US, with beef prices being the highest. The droughtjobs were filled by first-time employees.

58% of operators say using tech and automation to alleviate labor shortages will become more common in their segment in 2023; however, technology is generally complementary to human labor and primarily intended to enhance rather than replace workers in the Midwest growing region last year resulted in steeper grain costs, which in turn pushed up the feed costs. Some believe that feed prices will cool off with the new harvest season and that could lead to lower chicken prices in 2014. There are no assurances that this will occur.restaurant industry.

 

ConsumersFlexibility to Accommodate Rising Food Costs and All-Hours Dining

Demand for restaurant experiences remains strong among consumers who are nowhungry to connect over shared meals. Operators are taking creative cost-saving approaches to temper elevated expenses, including food, labor, occupancy, and utilities, by streamlining their menus. With the rise of remote work blurring traditional meal times, operators are focusing on the lookout for new waysopportunities to eat fast without havingentice customers at all hours with engaging offerings, including off-hours or slow-day value deals, flexible pricing, multi-course meal bundles, meal kits and subscriptions, apparel, and more.

“As the restaurant industry adapts to a new normal, operators’ ability to be flexible and diversify their operations is essential to thriving,” said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of Research for the National Restaurant Association. “With profitability under pressure, operators are launching new business models within the industry, re-engineering current concepts, and allocating more space to off-premises business in order to satisfy customers in 2023.”

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

In the event our Common Stock is approved for trading in the future, of which there can be no assurance, marketMarket sales of shares of our Common Stock after this Offering and from time to time, and the availability of shares for future sale, may reduce the market price of our Common Stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock and could impair our future ability to obtain capital, especially through an offering of equity securities. After the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, all of the shares soldregistered in this Offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act unless the shares are purchased by our affiliates. After the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, all of the shares registered in this Offering, constituting 22,201,650 shares, will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act,1933, unless the shares are purchased by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The balance of 59,578,920 shares which are not being registered will be eligible for sale pursuant to the exemptionexemptions from registration. However, these shares not being registered are held by our management and other affiliates who are limited to selling only 1% of our issued and outstanding shares every 90 days.

 

If our application to trade ourOur Common Stock on the OTCQB is approved, of which there can be no assurance, it is anticipated that our Common Stock will be considered a “penny stock” and will continue to be considered a penny stock so long as it trades below $5.00 per share and, as such, trading in our Common Stock will beis subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction.

 

SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities. In addition, few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities. Other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.SeeRisk Factors” on page 10. “RISK FACTORS.”

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144, adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, generally provides an exemption for the resale or privately offered securities provided the conditions of the rule are met, which include, among other limitations, that the securities be held for a minimum of nine months due to the fact that we expect to be a reporting company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Consequently, our shareholdersperson who are affiliates and whose shares are not being registered as part of the registration statement we have filed with the SEC (of which this Prospectus is a part) may not be able to avail themselves of Rule 144 or otherwise be readily able to liquidate their investments in the event of an emergency or for any other reason, and the shares may not be accepted as collateral for a loan. If such non-affiliate has beneficially owned therestricted shares for at least ninesix months hewould be entitled to sell those securities provided that (1) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or she mayat any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale and (2) we have been subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and are current in filing our periodic reports. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell the shares without complying withwithin any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed 1% of the restrictionsnumber of shares of common stock outstanding. Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale and notice provisions of Rule 144 once we are deemed a reporting company.and to the availability of current public information about us.

KISSES FROM ITALY INC.

REPORTNOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLICBUSINESS

Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations, which were in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. In June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Prospectus. Such a location was intended to serve as the distribution center for future products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid-19 in Europe.

In June 2021 and November 2021, the Company opened its first two franchise locations in Chino, California and Montreal, Canada, respectively. Since the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees at both locations so that the franchisees could establish operations at each of those locations.

During the first quarter of 2023 the Company began transitioning its business model.  In light of the Company’s new partnership with celebrity Chef, Scott Conant, and the creation of a new brand, named ‘The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe and Italian Deli’ which will be wholly owned by Kisses From Italy and of which the sales and development of the new franchise brand will be headed by the Company’s franchise consultant, Fransmart.

Most recently, a redevelopment clause was invoked on the Company’s Wyndham Palm Aire lease location and the Company made the decision to close its operations there and began looking for a new location in South Florida.  As of September 30, 2023 the Company was no longer operating at the Pompano Beach Wyndham Palm Aire location and had one remaining corporate owned restaurant open in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. The Company is currently scouting locations in the New York City area for the opening of its first location under the new brand.

The Company’s accounting year-end is December 31.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic has had a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.

Covid-19 and we believe, the US’s response to the pandemic has significantly affected the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.

Except for our Bari location which remains closed, our US location is now open and is operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING FIRMPOLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC. Kisses-Palm Sea Royal closed its operation on June 30, 2023. On May 26,2023 the Company formed a new subsidiary called The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe & Italian DeliSM ..

All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Management’s Representation of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements at and as of December 31, 2022, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of the face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our trade receivables amounted to $14,469 and $13,470 respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- for both periods.

F-8

Other Receivables

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023 Other receivables are comprised of two components, a receivable from a franchisee for $22,000, and a receivable of $27,190 from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”).

ERC Credits

The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13, 2020, to December 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had ERC credits receivable of $27,190 and $27,190 in ERC credits receivable, respectively.

Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)

The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”), applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT tax ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Company had a VAT net receivable from its Bari location amounting to $-0- and $-0- respectively.

Franchisee Receivable

In order to assist the Company’s franchisee in California, the Company extended a $22,000 demand loan at a 1% interest rate to the franchisee. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the balance on the franchisee receivable was $22,000 and $22,000, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari location.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurs.

F-9

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage products sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606:

1. Identify the contract with the client,

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract,

3. Determine the transaction price,

4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

At the corporate owned restaurants all five steps of revenue recognition occur almost simultaneously. The customer orders food from a menu, it is prepared, delivered to the customer who then pays for the food order at the cash register. Our restaurant business represented approximately 95% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For our branded retail products goods sold in Canada, the Company receives a detailed purchase order from grocery store retailers that specifies the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes to the retailer, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.

Non-controlling interest

A non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $107,837 and $324,493, respectively.

Property and equipment

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Schedule of estimated useful lives of property
Computers, software, and office equipment16 years
Machinery and equipment35 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of lease term or estimated useful life

F-10

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.

On December 18, 2019, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of GAAP without compromising information provided to users of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of the derivative liability was $-0- and $73,398, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and emerging growth company and has a calendar-year end, the Company was eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2022.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 related solely to operating leases at our store locations. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of right of use operating lease assets and right of use operating lease liabilities of approximately $562,000 each, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of wholesale food inventory at our retail operations. The value of the food at our US locations is very minimal at any one time and is charged to cost of sales as soon as it arrives at the store. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 we wrote off $1,951 alcoholic beverage inventory since the Bari location had been closed since the onset of Covid in March 2020. The balance of inventory on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $12,545 and $14,359, respectively.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Due to the Company’s net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, all of its outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable if convertible notes or Preferred C shares was converted to common stock; are all considered anti-dilutive. The number of these anti-dilutive equivalents was not calculated and are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022.

F-12

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2023 the Company had cash on hand of $107,837, negative working capital of $544,576 and an accumulated deficit of $19,227,929.

Management has concluded that these condensed consolidated 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. It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $-0- and $3,687 in property and equipment respectively. As of September 30, 2023, all property and equipment and leaseholds at its US locations had been fully depreciated.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had one operating restaurant. The Company leases these spaces based upon the following schedules:

·Kisses From Italy 9th LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida leases approximately 990 square feet and has paid $3,273 per month since 2018, pending completion of the required renovations to the exterior and interior of the property necessitated due to hurricane damage that occurred to the location in 2018. The landlord has been very slow in making these changes. It was agreed upon that when work was completed, and approved by the City of Fort Lauderdale, the rent would be increased to the market rate at that time. Beginning on May 1, 2021, the rent increased to $5,857.50 per month and was renewed by the Company for an additional five-year term with standard annual escalator costs.
·Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS based in Bari, Italy, leases approximately 2,200 square feet of space for 1,400 euros per month under the terms of a nine-year lease which ends on May 5, 2024 and has an optional automatic renewal provision for nine years. The Company is in the process of negotiating new terms for the lease. Both parties have agreed no rent payments will be submitted, until new terms are agreed upon.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 842, and based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining average lease term of the Company’s existing leases noted above, the Company recognized $562,030 in noncurrent ROU assets, $88,469 in current lease liabilities and $473,561 in noncurrent lease liabilities from operating leases.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded rent expenses related to lease obligations of $85,877 and $96,675 respectively. Rent expenses related to lease obligations in operating expenses in the Company’s statement of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Kisses From Italy, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kisses From Italy, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KISSES FROM ITALY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Kisses From Italy Inc. (“the Company” or “KFI”(the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate ownedcorporate-owned restaurants byand expanding it through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May of 2015 by opening its first location in Ft.Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, which were located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, cityFlorida area, were then opened within the following 10ten months. All locations, which wereare in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. In June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Prospectus. Such location was intended to serve as the distribution center for products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid-19 in Europe.

In June 2021 and November 2021, the Company opened its first two franchise locations in Chino, California and Montreal, Canada, respectively. Due to the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees at both locations so that the franchisees could establish operations at each of those locations.

 

The Company’s accounting year endyear-end is December 31st.31.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic has had a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.

Covid-19 and we believe, the US’s response to the pandemic has significantly affected the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.

Except for our Bari location which remains closed, our US locations are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses fromFrom Italy 9th LLC, Kisses fromFrom Italy-Franchising LLC;LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.

F-29

 

Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements, as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of common stock or other securities and obtaining some short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to so until its consolidated operations become profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice where feasible.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long livedlong-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.

As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our trade receivables amounted to $13,470 and $12,900 respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- for both periods.

Other Receivables

Other receivables are comprised of three components, a receivable from a franchisee, and a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”) and Value Added Tax at the Company’s Bari location in Italy.

ERC Credits

The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13, 2020, to December 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had ERC credits receivable of $27,190 and $41,717 credits receivable, respectively.

Revenue RecognitionValued Added Tax (“VAT”)

 

The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”), applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT tax ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had a VAT net receivable from its Bari location amounting to $-0- and $4,839, respectively.

Franchisee Receivable

In order to assist the Company’s franchisee in California, the Company extended a $22,000 demand loan at a 1% interest rate to the franchisee. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the balance on the franchisee receivable was $22,000 and $-0-, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari location.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in ourthe Company’s consolidated statementsstatement of earnings, representsrepresent franchise revenue; and food and beverage product sold andwhich is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold.using the five step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606:

 

1. Identify the contract with the client,

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract,

3. Determine the transaction price,

4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

At the corporate owned restaurants all five steps of revenue recognition occur almost simultaneously. The customer orders food from a menu, it is prepared, delivered to the customer who then pays for the food order at the cash register. Our restaurant business represented approximately 90% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

For our branded retail products goods sold in Cana the Company receives a detailed purchase order from grocery store retailers that specifies the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes to the retailer, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.

Non-controlling interest

 

Non-controlling interest represents third partythird-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority ownedmajority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of our own wholly ownedthe Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.

 

F-31

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. AtOn December 31, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the Company cash equivalents totaled $51,955$324,493 and $32,692$139,485, respectively.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Estimated useful lives of property
Computers, software, and office equipment1 – 56 years
Machinery and equipment3 – 5 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of lease term or estimated useful life

  

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASBthe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Accounting“Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

 

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.

 

On December 18, 2019, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of GAAP without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We accountThe Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the balance of the derivative liability was $73,398 and $-0-, respectively.

F-32

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in sectionSection 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and emerging growth company and has a calendar-year end, the Company was eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2022.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 related solely to operating leases at our store locations. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of right of use operating lease assets and right of use operating lease liabilities of approximately $562,000 each, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of wholesale food inventory at our retail operations The value of the food at our US locations is very minimal at any one time and is charged to cost of sales as soon as it arrives at the store. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we wrote off $1,951 alcoholic beverage inventory since the Bari location had been closed since the onset of Covid in March 2020. The balance of inventory at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $14,359 and $5,270, respectively.

 

F-8

Leases

We follow the guidance in ASC 840 “Leases,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings“Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common sharesstock and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Due to the Company’s net losses for the years ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, all of its outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable if convertible notes or Preferred C shares was converted to common stock; are all considered anti-dilutive. The number of these anti-dilutive equivalents was not calculated and are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.

 

F-33

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are inadopted this guidance on January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect and that may impact itson the Company’s financial statements and does not believefinancial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2022 the Company had cash on hand of $324,493 and an accumulated deficit of $14,706,391.

Management has concluded that there are any other new pronouncements thatthese financial statements have been issuedprepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that mightfinancing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material impactadverse effect on its financial position or results ofbusiness, including the possible inability to continue operations.

The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion prices of the Notes were not a fixed amount because they were either subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events or the conversion price was variable. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative liability of $73,398 as of December 31, 2022 was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with a volatility of 208.3%, exercise price of $0.0084, using a one-year T-bill rate of $4.73%.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Talos victory fund converted $71,600 in principal and $19,800 in accrued interest into 3,696,000 shares at a conversion price of $0.025. Since the Company stock price was $0.0157 at the time of the conversion, the Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $34,373.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, our directors and officers will have no personal liability to us or our shareholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director or officer of his “duty of care.” This provision does not apply to the directors’: (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing and culpable violation of law, or (ii) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of his duties, including gross negligence.

 

The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of our Company and our shareholders (through shareholder’s derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any shareholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. Section 145 of the Florida General Corporation Law provides corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.
