Principles of consolidation |
|
At September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH CC, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc. and restaurant operations of Giggles N Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc. and restaurant operations of Giggles N Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City and Giggles N Hugs in Westfield Mall in Topanga, California will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company”. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis and consist of restaurant food and other supplies. |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and equipment |
|
The Company records all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements include the cost of the Company’s internal development and construction department. Depreciation periods are as follows: |
|
Leasehold improvements | | 10 years |
Restaurant fixtures and equipment | | 10 years |
Computer software and equipment | | 3 to 5 years |
Leases | ' |
Leases |
|
The Company currently leases its restaurant locations. The Company evaluates the lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating or capital lease for financial reporting purposes. |
|
Minimum base rent for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The initial rent term includes the build-out, or rent holiday period, for the Company’s leases, where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Deferred rent expense, which is based on a percentage of revenue, is also recorded to the extent it exceeds minimum base rent per the lease agreement. |
|
The Company disburses cash for leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment to build out and equip its leased premises. The Company also expends cash for structural additions that it makes to leased premises of which $590,000 was reimbursed to Century City, $488,409 was reimbursed to Topanga, and $284,000 was reimbursed to Glendale by their landlords as construction contributions pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord construction contributions usually take the form of up-front cash. Depending on the specifics of the leased space and the lease agreement, amounts paid for structural components are recorded during the construction period as leasehold improvements or the landlord construction contributions are recorded as an incentive from lessor. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' |
Impairment of long-lived assets |
|
The Company assesses potential impairment of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company regularly reviews the restaurant if it is cash flow negative for the previous four quarters to determine if impairment testing is warranted. At any given time, the Company may monitor its operations, and impairment charges could be triggered in the future if the restaurant performance does not improve. |
|
The Company has identified leasehold improvements as the primary asset because it is the most significant component of our restaurant assets, it is the principal asset from which the Company derives cash flow generating capacity and has the longest remaining useful life. The recoverability is assessed in most cases by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by these assets. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values. |
|
At September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 we did not record an impairment charge against the carrying value of the restaurants located in Century City and Topanga, California. |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-based compensation |
|
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. |
|
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50. |
Loss Per Common Share | ' |
Loss per common share |
|
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale. |
|
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
|
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: |
|
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
|
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
|
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue recognition |
|
Our revenues consist of sales from our restaurant operations and sales of memberships entitling members unlimited access to our play areas for the duration of their membership. As a general principle, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred and services have been rendered; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
With respect to memberships, access to our play area extends throughout the term of membership. The vast majority of memberships sold are for one-month terms. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the membership period. Century City, Topanga, and Glendale receive payments from its customers at the start of the subscription period and each record deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the subscription period. |
|
Revenues from restaurant sales are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Revenues are presented net of sales taxes. The obligation is included in other accrued expenses until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. |
|
We recognize a liability upon the sale of our gift cards and recognize revenue when these gift cards are redeemed in our restaurants. |
|
For party rental agreements, we rely upon a signed contract between us and the customer as the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Party rental deposits are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt and recognized as revenue when the service has been rendered. |
|
Additionally, revenues are recognized net of any discounts, returns, allowances and sales incentives, including coupon redemptions and complimentary meals. |
