Explanatory Note
On March 20, 2013, Giggles N Hugs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (SEC Accession No. 0001493152-13-000450) (the “Original 8-K”) indicating that the Company’s previously issued financial statements, as presented in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012, should no longer be relied upon. The Company is filing this amendment to the Original 8-K in order to clarify its relationship with Carrollton Partners, LLC (the “Advisor”) and to provide certain additional information relating to the contemplated amendment of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-Q filings.
| Item 4.02(a) | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review |
On March 14, 2013, the Company received notice from the Advisor that the Company’s previously issued financial statements, as presented in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012, should no longer be relied upon.
While Joey Parsi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, is also the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, the Company has effectively outsourced its internal accounting function to the Advisor.
Mr. Parsi and the Advisor discussed the matters disclosed in the Original 8-K with DeJoya Griffith & Company, LLC, the Company’s certified independent auditor. The Company intends to file revised financial statements as restated 10-Q/A filings on or before May 3, 2013.
Stock Compensation
As described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed February 27, 2012 (SEC Accession No. 0001077048-12-000089), the Company authorized a 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) on February 3, 2012. The Company failed to account for $891,383 of stock options issued pursuant to the Plan.
Total stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012 were incorrectly omitted. The Company’s current estimates of the effects of the corrections to the income statement of the Company are to adjust stock based compensation expense for an increase of $891,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and corresponding increase in stock based compensation for the three months periods ended June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
