Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (“GIGL Inc.”) was originally organized on September 17, 2004 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. GIGL Inc. was organized to sell teaching supplies and learning tools. On August 20, 2010, GIGL Inc. filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name to Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. The Company is authorized to issue 1,125,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Company adopted a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal year 2018 consists of a year ending December 30, 2018. Fiscal year 2017 consists of a year ending December 31, 2017. Going Concern The accompanying 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. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $691,369, used cash in operations of $610,874 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,002,101 as of that date. In addition, the Company was in default of a note payable to one of its landlords. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has and will continue to use significant capital to grow and acquire market share At December 30, 2018, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $57,642. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through May 2019. Management continues to seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing. Principles of consolidation For the years ended December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, California, and Glendale Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. for restaurant operations in Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc., and Glendale Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company”. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management include estimates made for impairment analysis for fixed assets and other long term assets, estimates of potential liabilities and, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, the valuation of issuance of debt and equity securities, and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with financial institutions, in the form of demand deposits. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of these two financial institutions. Fair value of financial instruments The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying values financing obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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 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 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. Depreciation periods are as follows: Leasehold improvements 10 years Restaurant fixtures and equipment 10 years Computer software and equipment 3 to 5 years Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 there were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets. 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. The Company currently has two leases, which are classified as operating leases. 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 its leased premises which are reimbursed to the Company by its 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. Stock-based compensation The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant, and is recognized as expense over the period, which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. 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 options and warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For the years ended December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, warrants to acquire 19,967,917 and 6,113,643 shares of common stock, respectively , and options to acquire 115,000 shares of common stock are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses and are excluded in determining diluted loss per share. 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. Through December 31, 2017, the Company recognized revenue from restaurant sales when payment was 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 On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. This standard provides that revenues are to be recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. This standard does not impact the Company’s recognition of revenue from Company-operated restaurants as those sales are recognized on a cash basis at the time of the underlying sale and are presented net of sales tax and other sales-related taxes. The standard also does not change the recognition of revenue from restaurant membership fees. 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. The company receives payment from its customers at the start of the subscription period and the company records deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the subscription period. The adoption of ASC 606 had no effect on previously reported amounts We recognize a liability upon the sale of our gift cards and recognize revenue when these gift cards are redeemed in our restaurants. As of December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of gift cards sales were $1,647 and ($2,338) respectively, and were recorded as deferred revenue. 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. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $34,539 and $29,939, respectively in advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses. Recent Accounting Standards In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures, and believes the adoption of the pronouncement will result in the recording of lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000 to our balance sheet upon adoption. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements. |
