NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Healthy Fast Food, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on November 14, 2005.
The Company owns and operates an EVOS® fast food franchise restaurant located in Henderson, Nevada under franchise rights purchased from EVOS USA, Inc. The Company also has secured the exclusive right to solicit EVOS® franchises on behalf of EVOS USA, Inc. as an area representative within a 12-state territory.
On September 30, 2008, the Company acquired the worldwide rights to the U-Swirl Frozen YogurtSM concept through its wholly-owned subsidiary, U-Swirl International, Inc. U-SWIRL allows guests the ultimate choice in frozen yogurt by providing 16 non-fat flavors, including tart, traditional and no sugar-added options and more than 40 toppings, including seasonal fresh fruit, sauces, candy and granola. Guests serve themselves and pay by the ounce instead of by the cup size.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual reports. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1/a filed on March 11, 2008 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company invested $3,000,000 in 13-week maturity US Government Treasury Bills.
The Company recognized $28,010 and $0 in franchise fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The $17,500 recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 represents 50% of the initial franchise fee for a new restaurant location purchased by a new franchisee within the Company’s 12 state territory, and is in accordance with the Company’s Area Representative Agreement with EVOS USA, Inc.
4. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE
Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $56,583 and $54,447, respectively.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
5. FRANCHISE FEES AMORTIZATION
Amortization expense related to capitalized franchise fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $1,312 and $1,312, respectively.
6. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $48,097 and $12,863, respectively.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $2,723 and $6,106, respectively.
7. PREPAID FRANCHISE FEES
On February 29, 2008, the Company paid EVOS, USA, Inc. $140,000 cash to extend its build-out requirements pursuant to the Area Representative Agreement from five restaurants due by May 31, 2008 to five restaurants due initially by December 1, 2008. On September 12, 2008, the build-out requirements were further extended (without further cost to the Company) to be due by March 1, 2009. The effect of the cash paid for the extension is to increase the prepaid franchise fees for 12 restaurants from $6,458 per restaurant to $18,125 per restaurant.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 2,518,350 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock.
On March 25, 2008, the Company closed its initial public offering and sold 1,000,000 units at $5.10 per unit to its underwriter for proceeds of $4,068,776 (net of underwriting fees totaling $510,000 and offering costs totaling $521,224). Each unit consists of one share of $0.001 par value common stock, one “A” warrant exercisable into one share of common stock at $5.10 per share, and two “B” warrants exercisable into two shares of common stock at $10.20 per share. The fair market values of the “A” and “B” warrants on the date of grant are based on the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and recorded to additional paid-in capital as of September 30, 2008 at $1,119,628 and $1,226,263, respectively.
Related Party Acquisition
On September 30, 2008, the Company closed its acquisition of the worldwide rights to the U-Swirl Frozen YogurtSM concept through its wholly-owned subsidiary, U-Swirl International, Inc., by issuing 100,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to the owners of the U-Swirl concept. The value of the acquisition is determined by the Company to be $180,000 based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of acquisition at $1.80 per share multiplied by the 100,000 shares issued. The fair market value of the stock is used as the basis for valuation because it is the most “readily determinable” valuation method in accordance with FAS123R – Share-Based Compensation. 100% of the valuation amount is expensed as “Intellectual property acquired from related parties” because the sellers of the U-Swirl concept are grandchildren of the Company’s CEO, and no “capitalizable” costs (ie. legal or trademarking fees) were incurred by the sellers in developing the concept.
There were no other issuances of preferred or common stock as of September 30, 2008.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
9. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options – As of December 31, 2007, the Company had issued options to purchase 470,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average strike price of $4.40 per share. The Company did not grant any new stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Warrants – As of December 31, 2007, the Company had issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average strike price of $2.98 per share, of which 25,000 had been exercised into 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On February 21, 2008, the Company issued a warrant to its corporate investor relations firm to purchase 60,000 units (each unit containing one share of common stock, one “A” warrant, and two “B” warrants) with an exercise price of $6.12 per unit for services relating to its investor relations. The warrant has been valued at $101,342 using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model based upon the following assumptions: term of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 2.8%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 40%. The value of the warrants was allocated against additional paid in capital and investor relations expense.

Fair Value of Equity Awards - The above tables reflect the assumptions utilized to value the stock-based compensation as of September 30, 2008 under SFAS 123R and using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury Rates for instruments with similar terms. The full term of the options and warrants granted was used for the expected life since the options and warrants were granted to senior management and outside consultants where turnover is expected to be low and since they are expected to hold the options and warrants for the full term to obtain the maximum benefit. The Company has not paid dividends to date and does not plan to pay dividends in the near future. The volatility assumptions were derived from historical volatilities of competitors whose shares are traded in the public markets and are adjusted to reflect anticipated behavior specific to the Company.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Franchise agreement – On March 30, 2007, EVOS USA, Inc. modified the terms of the franchise agreement that governs the Company’s franchisor-franchisee relationship. Under the modified terms, all franchisees will pay a royalty on gross revenues of 3.5% for the first year of operations, 4.5% for the second year of operations, and 5.5% for all subsequent years of operation. The Company paid a 5.5% royalty on gross revenues for the period October 14, 2006, through March 30, 2007. The royalty rate has been reduced for the Company’s Henderson restaurant to 3.5% until March 31, 2008, 4.5% until March 31, 2009, and 5.5% thereafter. If the Company would have been required to pay the 5.5% royalty rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the pro forma impact would have been to increase the net loss and net loss per share by $4,955 and $-0-, respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
History and Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on November 14, 2005 to own and operate EVOS fast food franchises.
We entered into a franchise agreement effective December 14, 2005 to operate an EVOS restaurant in Henderson, Nevada. Shortly after signing the franchise agreement, we found a location for the restaurant, obtained approval of the site from EVOS USA, Inc., and entered into a lease in January 2006. From January 2006 to September 2006, we sold 300,000 shares of common stock in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of $544,878. These proceeds, together with loans from related parties, were used to build out, open and operate the restaurant. From February 2006 to October 2006, we redesigned the restaurant interior in cooperation with EVOS USA, Inc., obtained the necessary permits and licenses from government agencies and authorities, built out the improvements to the leasehold site, installed furniture and equipment, received training from EVOS USA, Inc., hired and trained restaurant staff, and launched a marketing and advertising campaign for the restaurant’s opening in October 2006.
In December 2006, we entered into an area representative agreement that gives us the exclusive right to develop EVOS restaurants in a 12-state territory. To maintain our exclusivity in that territory, we are required to open a minimum number of restaurants within certain timeframes through 2016. These restaurants may be opened by us or by franchise owners that we identify and solicit. By December 1, 2008, we must have five restaurants opened and by May 31, 2009, we must have 12 additional restaurants opened. EVOS USA, Inc. extended the original deadline of May 31, 2008 to December 1, 2008 upon payment of an extension fee of $140,000. The December 1, 2008 deadline was further extended by EVOS USA, Inc. without any additional payment to March 1, 2009.
We estimate the cost of opening an EVOS restaurant to range from $380,500 to $534,750. While we spent in excess of $534,750 to open our first restaurant, we believe that our estimate is reasonable because of amount of the unusual costs incurred in opening the first restaurant. Specifically, we incurred costs for interior design changes that have since been adopted by EVOS USA, Inc. for all new restaurants. These changes delayed the opening of the restaurant, thereby causing us to incur occupancy costs prior to opening. If the cost of the interior design changes and occupancy costs are excluded from the amounts we expended, the cost to open the Henderson restaurant falls within the stated estimated range. Given current economic conditions in our particular market, we will take appropriate action to maximize shareholder value.
From December 2006 to June 2007, we engaged in a second private placement of 389,450 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $1,552,127. These proceeds were used to repay related party loans, pay some of the expenses of our initial public offering, and fund our efforts to solicit franchise owners for our territory. A portion of these proceeds may also be used to open another restaurant. During this period, we improved our operations at the Henderson restaurant and began to build the infrastructure necessary to support the operation of multiple restaurants. We hired a director of operations and a director of training in March 2007.
In March 2008, we completed an initial public offering of 1,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant and two Class B warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,100,000 and net proceeds of $4,002,840. The proceeds of the offering will be used to open six company-owned restaurants in the Las Vegas area in the next 12 to 18 months, as well as for marketing expenses, franchise development and working capital.
We propose to open one restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada by the end of the current fiscal year. EVOS USA, Inc. has approved the site for the restaurant and we expect to have final building and health inspections conducted before November 30, 2008. Opening this restaurant will require approximately $500,000 for leasehold improvements, purchase of fixed assets, security deposits,
hiring restaurant personnel, training expenses, advertising and promotion, and other pre-opening expenses. In addition, we will need to hire employees to staff the additional restaurant. We will not need to hire any additional corporate-level employees.
In addition to our store opening in Las Vegas, our franchisee in California opened its first store in November 2008.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our restaurant generated $144,400 in sales, as compared to $242,631 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Management believes that the decline in sales revenues reflected the downturn in the local economy, as unemployment rates in the Las Vegas area increased from 5.1% in September 2007 to 7.4% in September 2008 (according to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation).
Our restaurant operating costs were $194,573, or 135% of net sales revenues, resulting in a restaurant operating loss of $50,173. During the comparable quarter in 2007, restaurant operating costs were 105% of net revenues and we lost $11,518 on our restaurant operations. Part of the increase in restaurant operating costs as a percentage of net sales revenues is due to the fact that some of the restaurant operating costs are fixed, such as salaries for our director of operations and our director of training, as well as occupancy costs. These costs do not fluctuate with restaurant sales. Restaurant operating costs for the 2008 period reflect the increased royalty rate of 4.5% that went into effect beginning April 2008. After March 2009, we will pay royalties at the rate of 5.5%. We paid a 5.5% royalty on gross revenues from the date the restaurant opened in October 2006 through March 30, 2007. If we would have been required to pay the 5.5% royalty rate during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the pro forma impact would have been to increase the net loss and the net loss per share by $4,955 and $0, respectively.
We generated our first franchise royalties and fees in 2008, as a result of soliciting a franchisee for the new restaurant location within our 12-state territory. The $4,999 recognized during the quarter represents 50% of the royalties paid to EVOS USA, Inc.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, general and administrative expense increased by $31,881 (70%) due to hiring an internal bookkeeper ($6,600), legal fees ($17,000), transfer agent fees ($3,200), officers and directors insurance ($3,500) and a general increase in the overall overhead of operating a public company. The largest components of general and administrative expenses for the 2008 period were legal fees ($22,000), insurance costs ($13,000), and administrative salaries and payroll taxes ($6,639).
Officer compensation for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $78,318 (53%), due primarily to the stock options granted to officers in the 2007 quarter. No options were granted in 2008.
The increase in investor relations fees of $23,398 (100%) is due to a contract entered into in February 2008, which requires monthly fees of $7,500.
We incurred a $180,000 expense resulting from the acquisition of the U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt concept. We issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to the owners of the concept. The shares were valued at $180,000, based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of acquisition. This entire amount was expensed as intellectual property acquired from related parties because the owners of the concept are grandchildren of our chief executive officer.
As a result of the above, our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $394,808, as compared to a loss of $216,129 for the comparable 2007 quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our restaurant generated $495,493 in sales, as compared to $780,744 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Management believes that the decline in sales revenues reflected the downturn in the local economy, as described above.
Our restaurant operating costs were $629,819, or 127% of net sales revenues, resulting in a restaurant operating loss of $134,326. During the comparable period in 2007, restaurant operating costs were 99% of net revenues and we generated a small profit of $11,441 from restaurant operations. Part of the increase in restaurant operating costs as a percentage of net sales revenues is due to the fact that some of the restaurant operating costs are fixed, such as salaries for our director of operations and our director of training, as well as occupancy costs. These costs do not fluctuate with restaurant sales.
We generated our first franchise royalties and fees in 2008, as a result of soliciting a franchisee for the new restaurant location within our 12-state territory. The $23,011 recognized during the nine-month period represents 50% of an initial franchise fee and royalties paid to EVOS USA, Inc.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, general and administrative expense increased by $83,167 (56%) due to hiring an internal bookkeeper ($20,000), auditing and review fees ($15,000), legal fees ($12,000), insurance premiums ($13,000), transfer agent fees ($8,900), business meals and entertainment ($6,200), and a general increase in the overall overhead of operating a public company. The largest components of general and administrative expenses for the 2008 period were auditing and review fees ($40,400), legal fees ($42,000), insurance costs ($34,500), and administrative salaries and payroll taxes ($20,000).
Officer compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $126,056 (38%) and board fees decreased by $34,375 (100%), due primarily to the stock options granted to officers and directors in the 2007 quarter. No options were granted in 2008. While in 2008 we did not incur stock compensation expense of $226,972 for stock options granted to officers in 2007, salaries increased by $94,000 as we hired our director of operations in March 2007 and our chief financial officer in July 2007.
The increase in investor relations fees of $154,740 is due to a contract entered into in February 2008, which requires monthly fees of $7,500. We also granted a warrant as part of the compensation for the investor relations firm that was valued at $101,342.
As described above, we incurred $180,000 of expense in connection with the U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt concept.
As a result of the above, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $892,019, as compared to a loss of $564,725 for the comparable 2007 period.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, we had working capital of $3,878,184 and cash of $982,431 and short-term investments of $3,000,000, as a result of completing our initial public offering in March 2008. Working capital and cash at December 31, 2007 were $500,035 and $604,118, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we used $3,379,980 for investing activities, of which $239,980 was used for the purchase of fixed assets, $140,000 was paid to EVOS USA, Inc. for the extension of our build-out deadline, and $3,000,000 was invested in 3-month treasury bills. As we had a net loss of $892,019, operating activities used cash of $573,145. The principal adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used by operating activities was share-based compensation of $101,342 as a result of warrants issued to our investor relations firm, and $180,000 for the shares issued to acquire the U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt concept.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories. Inventories consisting of food, beverages and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market, including provisions for spoilage commensurate with known or estimated exposures which are recorded as a charge to cost of sales during the period spoilage is incurred.
Leasehold improvements, property and equipment. Leasehold improvements, property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for property acquisitions, development, construction, improvements and major renewals are capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term, which generally includes reasonably assured option periods, or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected gain or loss from operations.
We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
Deposits. Deposits consist primarily of the $128,025 security deposit, of which $64,012 was paid and $64,013 was unpaid as of December 31, 2007, in connection with our Henderson restaurant property lease and is carried at the lower of fair value or cost.
Franchise fees. Franchise fees paid to EVOS USA, Inc. are stated at cost. Amortization of the franchise fees is calculated based on the straight-line method over the ten-year useful life of the franchise agreement. In accordance with SFAS 142, paragraph 11, the useful life of an intangible asset is determined by the period over which the asset is expected to contribute either directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. Franchise renewal fees are also recorded at cost and amortized over the useful life of the renewal term. Upon closing or disposal of a restaurant, the accounts will be relieved of cost and accumulated amortization and the related gain or loss will be reflected in income from continued operations. As of September 30, 2008, franchise fees consisted of $14,059 net of $3,441 of accumulated amortization.
Prepaid franchise fees. Prepaid franchise fees consist entirely of the advances and payments made to EVOS USA, Inc. in connection with our entering into the Area Representative Agreement in December 2006. We have the right to develop and operate an additional 12 EVOS restaurants without paying additional franchise fees. As we open new restaurants, a proportional amount of prepaid franchise fees will be capitalized to franchise fees and amortized over the useful life of the franchise agreement in accordance with SFAS 142, paragraph 11.
On February 29, 2008, we paid EVOS USA, Inc. $140,000 to extend our build-out requirements pursuant to the Area Representative Agreement from five restaurants due by May 31, 2008 to five restaurants due initially by December 1, 2008, but later extended to March 1, 2009 (without additional cost to us). The effect of the cash paid for the extension is to increase the prepaid franchise fees for 12 restaurants from $6,458 per restaurant to $18,125 per restaurant.
Revenue, discounts and expense recognition. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. We reduce revenue by sales returns and sales discounts.
Revenue earned as an area representative for EVOS USA, Inc. will be derived from restaurants in our 12-state territory and will include initial franchise fees, continuing service fees, and royalties. Continuing service fees and royalties will be recognized in the period in which they are earned. Franchise fee revenue is recognized and fully earned upon the completion of our commitment to train franchisees of each of the EVOS restaurants sold in our 12-state territory. SFAS 45, paragraph 5(a)-(c), stipulates that
initial franchise fee revenue from a franchise sale should be recognized when the franchiser has substantially performed or satisfied all material services or conditions relating to the sale. Substantial performance has occurred when the franchiser has: (a) no remaining obligations or intent to refund any cash received or to forgive any unpaid notes or receivables; (b) performed substantially all of the initial services required by the franchise agreement (such as providing assistance in site selection, obtaining facilities, advertising, training, preparing operating manuals, bookkeeping, or quality control); and (c) met all other material conditions or obligations. We believe that completion of our training commitment satisfies the “substantial performance” definition outlined above. We recognized $28,010 and $0 in franchise fee revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
The registrant’s registration statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-145360) was declared effective on March 18, 2008. Paulson Investment Company, Inc. acted as the underwriter. 1,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one redeemable Class A Warrant and two non-redeemable Class B Warrants, were offered for gross proceeds of $5,100,000.
