ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On August 7, 2017, LeGall Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “LHI”) announced that it had entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Le’ Grille, LLC., a New Jersey Limited Liability Company (“LG”), and the controlling members of LG (the “LG Members”) (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of LG from the LG Members (the “LG Ownership”) and in exchange the Company issued to LG 255,500 shares of its common stock (the “LHI Shares”). As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, LG became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to closing. The closing of the Share Exchange (the “Closing”) occurred upon LG providing LHI with audited financial statements, with such financial statements being prepared by an independent accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
The Share Exchange Agreement was treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. LG was considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. The equity of LG is presented as the equity of the combined company and the members’ equity accounts of LG is adjusted to reflect the total value of the outstanding and issued common stock of the legal acquirer (LeGall Holdings, Inc.) after giving effect to the number of shares issued in the Share Exchange Agreement.

Caribbean Fast-Casual Dining
Traditionally, the foods and spices of the 7,000 Caribbean islands represent a melting pot of cultures and cooking methods. The Company however will present Caribbean food blended with American taste to cater to the demand in target locations. The Company will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily from 8am – 10pm. Menu items will range in price depending upon market and location, but pricing will normally fix at $9.00 to $16.00 per item. Menu items will include jerk chicken, ox-tail, brown stew chicken, curry meats, beef and catfish.
Property and Location
In its first few years of operation, the Company will establish a Fast-Casual model restaurant. The first restaurant the Company shall operate is located at 3173 Roswell Rd Atlanta, GA 30305 (“the Property”). The Property was previously owned by Tex’s Tacos. The Company intends to acquire control of the property and lease terms are being negotiated. There is ample parking around the building and the location is in close proximity to East Andrews and Peachtree Rd. Zoned C-3 in the City of Atlanta. The 900-square foot space has been used primarily as a catering service.
Atlanta is the capital of and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia, with an estimated 2015 population of 463,878. Atlanta is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5,522,942 people and the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Atlanta is the county seat of Fulton County, and a small portion of the city extends eastward into DeKalb County.
There are approximately 185,000 total households in Atlanta, with 34.6% of ages ranging between 25 to 44, 37.0% of the total population is white, 51.5% black or African American, and 4.2% Asian (7.3% attributable to other races). 19.2% of households have at least one child under the age of 18 and approximately 80,000 (43.4%) of these households are represented by married-couple families. Median household income for this segment is approximately $35,000 and 90.3% of 25-year-olds and over are employed.
Jerk Sauce
Jerk Sauce is versatile ingredient that adds a Jamaican kick to chicken, lamb, pork, fish and vegetable dishes. Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to pork and chicken. Modern recipes also apply jerk spice mixes to fish, shrimp, shellfish, beef, sausage, lamb, vegetables, and tofu. Jerk seasoning principally relies upon two items: allspice (called “pimento” in Jamaica) and Scotch bonnet peppers. Other ingredients may include cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, brown sugar, ginger, and salt. The Company will supply Jerk Sauce in 10 oz. packaging to restaurants, grocery stores, and other markets. The Company also intends to distribute their proprietary sauce directly to consumers.
Catering Service and Franchising
The Company intends to offer catering services for personal and business needs as LHI expands. The Company’s catering services shall range from the most elegant affairs to business luncheons or picnics at local parks. In addition, the Company aims to establish regional franchise chains three to five years into operation, provided the Company can prove out performance of its brand for owner-operated locations.
Marketing and Distribution
To gain market share, the Company intends to deploy an aggressive marketing strategy built primarily upon internet marketing tactics and strategy. The Company will run a strong campaign on social media via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Print advertising will round out the marketing model with print advertisements being placed in publications that are typically read by members of the targeted audience. The Company will also distribute its jerk sauce directly at the Company’s restaurants, online, and via print catalogs. As the business expands, the Company intends to seek out sauce distributors, retailers, grocery stores and shopping marts.
The Market
The primary target market for the products or services that are being offered by LE’ GRILLE restaurant will be households earning above $50K income. According to LoopNet area demographics, there are 85,505 households within 5-miles of the Property that earn more than $50,000 per year. According to IBIS World, an estimated 39.1% of industry demand comes from consumers in the nation’s highest income quintile; and according to the US Census Bureau (2014-latest available data), the average consumer in the highest income bracket spent an average $5,125 on food and beverages consumed outside the home.
The target market for the Company’s Jerk Sauce will be grocery stores and restaurants. According to LoopNet, Grocery Stores within 5-miles vicinity of the Property gross nearly $629 million annually in revenue, and there are 15 major grocery stores in the vicinity of the Property, including; Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market and Target. Restaurants expenditure within the 5-mile vicinity of the Property in 2015 was around $169 million.

Grocery wholesalers comprise the largest market for industry operators, accounting for 39.6% of industry revenue in 2016. Wholesalers supply industry products to retailers, such as supermarkets, discount stores, convenience stores and other businesses that sell bulk, packaged foods. However, this segment’s share of the market declined over the past five years as online ordering systems enabled some supermarket chains to purchase products directly from industry producers.
Food manufacturers constitute 31.7% of industry revenue in 2016. This segment includes manufacturers that produce savory snack foods, frozen foods, meat, bread and bakery products. Major ingredients purchased from the Seasoning, Sauce, and Condiment Production industry include seasonings, salt, flavoring extracts, natural food coloring, gravy and sauce mixes. Due to the variety of products manufactured by producers in this downstream market, declining demand from one industry is offset by greater demand from another industry.
Sales to the foodservice and hospitality industries account for 12.2% of industry revenue. Motels, hotels, restaurants, fast-food chains and convention centers purchase large quantities of this industry’s products to use as ingredients for their finished food products and meals.
Supermarkets and grocery stores are forecast to account for about 9.7% of revenue in 2016 and serve as the most important point of purchase for consumers. Exports are anticipated to account for 6.8% of revenue in 2016, up from 5.1% in 2011. Exports constitute a small share of industry revenue because producers within this industry usually localize manufacturing operations to minimize transportation and distribution costs
Market Size
Research shows, the number of establishments in the industry is approximately 31,834, which is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.69% over the next five years to reach 34,527 in 2021. IBISWorld estimates that in 2016, the average industry operator will obtain a profit equivalent to 4.5% of revenue. Despite increased competition, margins have since increased because many chains have implemented cost-cutting measures and invested in technology to reduce their reliance on labor. The number of industry employees has increased at an annualized rate of 3.0% to 1.9 million people over the five years to 2016. These trends bode well for LeGall Holdings, as they show the substantial profits that are available for successful industry players.
Product and Service Segmentation
The Chain Restaurants industry is dominated by chains that offer a menu with a wide variety of traditional US cuisine such as burgers, steaks, sandwiches, salads, fries and deserts. This type of food is heavily immersed into US culture and has therefore been the main driver of the industry’s growth over the past half-century. Major chains Applebee’s, Chili’s, Outback Steakhouse and T.G.I. Friday’s fit into this segment. US food can be further segmented into subcategories such as Tex-Mex (Chili’s Grill and Bar), BBQ (Famous Dave’s) and steak (Outback Steakhouse), based on the chain’s primary menu items.
Italian-American cuisine is a close variation on traditional Italian food, with recipes modified under the influence of US culture over the past two centuries. Modern Italian-American menu is heavily focused on pasta-based dishes and pizza and tend to include greater amounts of meat and garlic than traditional Italian dishes. Italian American dishes also tend to be characterized by large amounts of tomato sauce. Olive Garden and Carrabba’s Italian Grill are two prominent restaurant chains in this category.
About 17.0% of industry revenue is derived from chains that specialize in breakfast foods such as pancakes, waffles, omelets and French toast. While most chains in this segment also offer traditional lunch and dinner menus, breakfast food chains have developed a competitive advantage with in the food-service sector advertising their ‘all-day breakfast’ service. Well-known names in this category include IHOP, Denny’s and Waffle House.
Asian food is a diverse category that can be broken down into some regional styles based on the peoples and cultures of those regions. The main broad types include East Asian (including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean restaurants); Southeast Asian (including Vietnamese, Thai and Malaysian restaurants); and South Asian (including Indian, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi restaurants). Other variations such as Middle Eastern and Central Asian cuisines have been included in the ‘Other’ category for this report.
Market Segmentation
The major markets for the Single Location Full-Service Restaurants industry can be segmented based on some factors including income, age, geographic location and family structure. Given the discretionary nature of the industry, an indication of major markets can be inferred by annual expenditure on food and beverages consumed outside the home. According to the US Census Bureau, the average consumer spends about 4.9% of their annual expenditure on food and beverages consumed outside the home. An estimated 39.1% of industry demand comes from consumers in the nation’s highest income quintile. In 2014 (the latest available data), the average consumer in the highest income bracket spent $5,125 on food and beverages consumed outside the home, according to the US Census Bureau. On the other hand, those in the lowest income quintiles often need to make significant sacrifices to afford meals away from home.
4 |
The average consumer in the lowest income quintile spent $1,142 on out-of-home food consumption in 2014. The three middle-income quintiles represent more than 50.0% of industry demand, showing how important the middle-class consumer is to the industry’s performance. While these consumers do not typically spend big on luxury food items, they contribute to the steady demand for middle-of-the-range chain restaurants. The industry’s major markets distribution has not changed dramatically over time as spending patterns within income brackets are relatively established. There was some tightening of budgets during the recession, but this occurred across all demographics, so it did not influence the industry’s major markets distribution.

Revenues and Losses
LeGall Holdings, Inc.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income from operations. The Company has sustained net losses of $15,255. The losses are largely contributed to operating expense incurred, by the Company, for the purposes of building business relationships and paying for accounting, legal and audit fees.
For the period from April 4, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income from operations since inception. The Company had sustained net loss of $42,834. The losses are largely contributed to operating expense incurred, by the Company, for the purposes of building business relationships and paying for accounting, legal and audit fees.
Le’Grille, LLC
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income from operations. The Company has sustained net losses of $2,800. The losses are largely contributed to operating expense incurred, by the Company, for the purposes of building business relationships and paying for accounting, legal and audit fees.
For the period from November 20, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income from operations since inception. The Company had sustained net loss of $1,390. The losses are largely contributed to operating expense incurred, by the Company, for the purposes of business set-up expenses, accounting, legal, and audit fees.
Equipment Financing
The Company has no existing equipment financing arrangements.
Potential Revenue
The Company intends to earn revenue from sale of meals at Company-operated restaurants, through franchising of its brand and sale of its proprietary line of jerk sauce products, sold via retail and wholesale. The Company intends to open its first LE’ GRILLE fast-casual restaurant location in late 2017. The Company is currently negotiating for lease or purchase of the restaurant’s property, to be located at 3173 Roswell Rd Atlanta, GA 30305. The revenue from this operation will include sale of ten to fifteen menu items.
Alternative Financial Planning
Mrs. Portia LeGall — Co-CEO of the Company will pay all operation expenses for the Company as Director’s loan with no interest calculated until the Company can raise sufficient funds for its operation and project development. If the Company is not able to successfully raise monies as needed through a private placement or other securities offering (including, but not limited to, a primary public offering of securities), the Company’s ability to survive as a going concern and implement any part of its business plan or strategy will be severely jeopardized.
Capital Resources
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and staff and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage.The Company has not generated revenues from its operations, and its continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
The Company’s proposed activities will necessitate significant uses of capital beyond 2017.
There is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital, or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. Accordingly, given the Company’s limited cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company will be unable to implement its business plans and proposed operations unless it obtains additional financing or otherwise is able to generate revenues and profits. The Company may raise additional capital through sales of debt or equity, obtain loan financing or develop and consummate other alternative financial plans.

The Company regularly evaluates the accounting policies and estimates that it uses to prepare its financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to the Company’s financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

There are currently no pending, threatened or actual legal proceedings of a material nature in which the Company is a party.
Description of Compensation Table
As of December 31, 2016, there was no accrued compensation that was due to the Company's employees or officers. Upon successful completion by the Company of a primary public offering in the future (or the completion of other financing or funding), however, the Company may compensate officers and employees as is discussed below in “Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration.”
Each of the officers has received certain shares of common stock in the Company in connection with the change of control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any compensation expense in respect of any shares issued to the officers as such shares do not represent compensation that was paid to any officer.
9 |
There are no current plans to pay or distribute any cash or non-cash bonus compensation to officers of the Company, until such time as the Company is profitable, experiences positive cash flow or obtains additional financing. However, the Board of Directors may allocate salaries and benefits to the officers in its sole discretion. No officer is subject to a compensation plan or arrangement that results from his or her resignation, retirement, or any other termination of employment with the Company or from a change in control of the company or a change in his or her responsibilities following a change in control. The members of the Board of Directors may receive, if the Board so decides, a fixed fee and reimbursement of expenses, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board, although no such program has been adopted to date. The Company currently has no retirement, pension, or profit-sharing plan covering its officers and directors; however, the Company plans to implement certain such benefits after sufficient funds are realized or raised by the Company (see “Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration” below.)
Employment Agreements
The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any of its employees.
Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration
The Company pays no compensation to its officers or directors at present. The Company intends to pay regular, competitive annual salaries to all its officers and directors and will pay an annual stipend to its directors when, and if, it completes a primary public offering for the sale of securities and/or the Company reaches greater profitability, experiences larger and more sustained positive cash flow and/or obtains additional funding. At such time, the Company anticipates offering additional cash and non-cash compensation to officers and directors. In addition, the Company anticipates that its officers and directors will be provided with additional fringe benefits and perquisites at subsidizes rates, or at the sole expense of the Company, as may be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Company in its sole discretion. In addition, the Company may plan to offer retirement benefits at a later time in its sole discretion.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider each of the risks and uncertainties described below and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments or updates reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company believes these risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results and could materially and adversely affect its business operations, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Further, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its results and business operations. Unless, otherwise specified, the “Company” will be used interchangeably with Le’Grille, LLC and LeGall Holdings, Inc. as Le’Grille will be the operating company as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement.
Risks Associated with the Company’s Business
The Company has no independent operating history and as such an investor cannot assess its profitability or performance but must rely on the experience of its president and other officers.
The Company is a development stage company and has no operating history and it is therefore not possible for an investor to assess prior performance or determine whether it will likely meet its projected business plan. Such lack of experience may result in the Company experiencing difficulty in adequately designing or building any project, thereby causing the project to function improperly or provide inadequate utility for which it is intended. If the Company’s projects cannot be completed or consistently function improperly or perform below expectations, the Company will likely be unable to market and sell many of its projects or products. An investor will be required to make an investment decision based solely on the management’s history and its projected operations in light of the risks, expenses and uncertainties that may be encountered by engaging in the building and managing of ecological theme parks and producing organically grown food.

LHI’s independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of LHI’s independent auditors contained in the LHI financial statements from April 4, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016 includes a paragraph mentioning that LHI has had no revenues and income since inception, and had a working capital deficit of $41,222 and an accumulated deficit of $42,834. These matters raise substantial doubt regarding LHI’s ability to continue as a going concern without the influx of capital through the sale of its securities or through development of its operations.
LG’s independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt of the LG’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of LG’s independent auditors contained in LG’s financial statements from November 20, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016 includes a paragraph mentioning that LG has had no revenues and income since inception, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,390. These matters raise substantial doubt regarding LG’s ability to continue as a going concern without the influx of capital through the sale of its securities or through development of its operations.
Reliance on Management
The Company’s management (“Management”) will participate in all decisions with respect to the management of the Company, including (without limitation) determining projects on which to bid, operations, and development. In the event of the dissolution, death, retirement or other incapacity of the Management, the business and operations of the Company may be adversely affected.
The Company’s CEO controls a majority of the outstanding stock/equity.
The CEO of the Company currently beneficially owns more than a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and members’ equity. As such, she controls most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock or prevent stockholders/members from realizing a premium over the market price for their Shares. Mrs. LeGall will retain substantial control over matters requiring approval, such as (without limitation) the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.
No Expectation to Pay Dividends
The Company has not paid any dividends with respect to its outstanding shares/ownership and cannot predict when, or if, dividends will be paid. The Company does not currently anticipate paying any dividends on the shares until a product is successfully commercialized and liquidity is realized. There is no guarantee the Company will ever receive any profit from its operations so as to be able to declare and pay dividends. There can be no assurance with respect to the amount and timing of any dividends other than to the shareholders, or that they will ever be made. Future dividends will be determined by the Management of the Company in light of prevailing financial conditions, earnings, if any, as well as other relevant factors.
Early Developmental Stage Company
The Company has only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its business and future prospects. For financial accounting purposes, the Company is in its development stage, and its operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Included in these risks are limited capital, corporate infrastructure and marketing arrangements.
Little Experience in Being a Public Company
The Company is an early-stage company and as such has little experience in managing a public company. Such lack of experience may result in the Company experiencing difficulty in adequately operating and growing its business. Further, the Company may be hampered by lack of experience in addressing the issues and considerations which are common to growing companies. If the Company’s operating or management abilities consistently perform below expectations, the Company’s business is unlikely to thrive.
The Company is an early-stage company with no developed finance and accounting organization and the rigorous demands of being a public company require a structured and developed finance and accounting group. As a reporting company, the Company is already subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, the requirements of these laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder entail significant accounting, legal and financial compliance costs which may be prohibitive to the Company as it develops its business plan, services and scope. These costs have made, and will continue to make, some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may place significant strain on its personnel, systems and resources.
The Securities Exchange Act requires, among other things, that companies maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain the requisite disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight are required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on the development of the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
These rules and regulations may also make it difficult and expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate director and officer insurance, its ability to recruit and retain qualified officers and directors, especially those directors who may be deemed independent, will be significantly curtailed.
12 |
Intellectual Property
The Company has not applied for intellectual property or trade secret protection on any aspects of its business. The Company has no current plans on attempting to obtain patents, copyright, trademarks and/or service marks on any of its solutions and services. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain effective protection against unauthorized duplication or the introduction of substantially similar solutions and services.
The Company’s performance is subject to risks associated with the restaurant industry, including the highly competitive nature of the industry.
The Company shall derive a substantial portion of its revenues in the form of royalties based on a percentage of the gross sales of its franchised restaurants. Sales and profitability of these restaurants and, in turn, payments it receives from franchisees may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control. The most significant are:
● | declines in comparable-restaurant sales growth rates due to: (i) failing to meet or adequately adapt to changing customers' expectations for food quality and taste or to innovate new menu items to retain the existing customer base and attract new customers; (ii) competitive intrusions in the Company’s markets; (iii) opening new restaurants that cannibalize the sales of existing restaurants; (iv) failure of national or local marketing to be effective; (v) weakening national, regional and local economic conditions; and (vi) natural or man-made disasters or adverse weather conditions; |
● | negative trends in operating expenses such as: (i) increases in food costs including rising commodity costs; (ii) increases in labor costs including increases mandated by minimum wage and other employment laws, immigration reform, the potential impact of union organizing efforts, increases due to tight labor market conditions and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; and (iii) increases in other operating costs including advertising, utilities, lease-related expenses and credit card processing fees; |
● | the highly competitive nature of the restaurant industry with respect to, among other things: (i) price, service, location, personnel and the type and quality of food; (ii) the trend toward convergence in grocery, deli and restaurant services, as well as the continued expansion of restaurants in Caribbean and American cuisine; and (iii) the entry of major market players in non-competing industries into the food services market which could decrease the market share of the Company in it’s respective food categories; |
● | the inability to open new restaurants that achieve and sustain acceptable sales volumes; |
● | the inability to increase menu pricing to offset increased operating expenses; |
● | failure to effectively manage further penetration into mature markets; |
● | negative trends in the availability of credit and in expenses such as interest rates and the cost of construction materials that will affect the Company’s ability or its franchisees' ability to maintain and refurbish existing restaurants; |
● | the inability to manage the Company’s company-owned restaurants due to unanticipated changes in, or availability of, qualified restaurant management, staff and other personnel; and |
● | the inability to operate effectively in new and/or highly competitive geographic regions or local markets in which the Company or its franchisees have limited operating experience. |
A lack of availability of suitable locations for new restaurants or a decline in the quality of the locations for then existing restaurants may adversely affect the Company’s sales and results of operations.
The success of the Company’s restaurants depends in large part on its locations. As demographic and economic patterns change, current locations may not continue to be attractive or profitable. Potential declines in neighborhoods where the Company’s restaurants are or shall be located or adverse economic conditions in areas surrounding those neighborhoods could result in reduced sales in those locations. In addition, desirable locations for new restaurant openings or for the relocation of existing restaurants may not be available at an acceptable cost when management identifies a particular opportunity for a new restaurant or relocation. Additionally, restaurant revitalization initiatives may not be completed as and when projected and may not produce the results management expects.
13 |
The Company may experience shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of food and other products from third parties or in the availability of utilities.
The franchised and company-operated restaurants are dependent on frequent deliveries of fresh produce, food, beverage and other products. This subjects the Company to the risk of shortages or interruptions in food and beverage supplies which may result from a variety of causes including, but not limited to, shortages due to adverse weather, labor unrest, political unrest, terrorism, outbreaks of food-borne illness, disruption of operation of production facilities, the financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, of the Company’s suppliers or other unforeseen circumstances. Such shortages could adversely affect the Company’s revenue and profits. The inability to secure adequate and reliable supplies or distribution of food and beverage products could limit the Company’s ability to make changes to its core menus or offer promotional “limited time only” menu items, which may limit the Company’s ability to implement its business strategies. The Company’s restaurants bear risks associated with the timeliness of deliveries by suppliers and distributors as well as the solvency, reputation, labor relationships, freight rates, prices of raw materials and health and safety standards of each supplier and distributor. Other significant risks associated with the Company’s suppliers and distributors include improper handling of food and beverage products and/or the adulteration or contamination of such food and beverage products. Disruptions in these relationships with suppliers and distributors may reduce the payments the Company receives from its franchisees or the profits generated by its company-operated restaurants. In addition, interruptions to the availability of gas, electric, water or other utilities may adversely affect operations.
A failure to develop and implement innovative marketing and guest relationship initiatives, ineffective or improper use of social media or other marketing initiatives, and increased advertising and marketing costs, could adversely affect business results.
If the Company’s competitors increase their spending on advertising and promotions, or if the Company’s advertising, media or marketing expenses increase, or if the Company’s advertising and promotions become less effective than those of its competitors, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on business results. A failure to sufficiently innovate, develop guest relationship initiatives, or maintain adequate and effective advertising could inhibit the Company’s ability to maintain brand relevance and drive increased sales.
As part of the Company’s marketing efforts, the Company will rely on search engine marketing and social media platforms to attract and retain guests. These efforts may not be successful, resulting in expenses incurred without the benefit of higher revenues or increased employee engagement. In addition, a variety of risks are associated with the use of social media, including the improper disclosure of proprietary information, negative comments about the Company’s brands, exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud, or out-of-date information. The inappropriate use of social media vehicles by the Company’s franchisees, guests or employees could increase the Company’s costs, lead to litigation or result in negative publicity that could damage the Company’s reputation. These efforts may not be successful, and pose a variety of other risks, as discussed below under the heading: “The Company is heavily dependent on information technology and any material failure of that technology could impair the Company’s ability to efficiently operate its business.”
Changing health or dietary preferences may cause consumers to avoid the Company’s in favor of alternative foods.
The food service industry as a whole rests on consumer preferences and demographic trends at the local, regional, national and international levels, and the impact on consumer eating habits of new information regarding diet, nutrition and health. The Company’s franchise development and system-wide sales depend on the sustained demand for its products, which may be affected by factors it does not control. Various factors such as: (i) the Food and Drug Administration’s menu labeling rules of nutritional content, (ii) nutritional guidelines issued by the United States Department of Agriculture and issuance of similar guidelines or statistical information by state or local municipalities, or (iii) academic studies, may impact consumer choice and cause consumers to select foods other than those that are offered by the Company’s restaurants. The Company may not be able to adequately its restaurants' menu offerings to keep pace with developments in consumer preferences, which may result in reductions to the franchise payments the Company receives from franchisees and the revenues generated by company-operated restaurants.
Factors outside the Company’s control may harm its brand's reputation.
The success of the Company’s restaurant business is largely dependent upon brand recognition and the strength of the Company’s franchise systems. The continued success of the Company’s franchisees and company-operated restaurants will be directly dependent upon the maintenance of a favorable public view of the Company’s brand. Negative publicity (e.g., crime, scandal, litigation, on-site accidents and injuries or other harm to customers) at a single the Company location can have a substantial negative impact on the operations of all restaurants within the Company’s system. Multi-unit food service businesses such as the Company can be materially and adversely affected by widespread negative publicity of any type, but particularly regarding food quality, food-borne illness, food tampering, obesity, injury or other health concerns with respect to certain foods, whether or not accurate or valid. The risk of food-borne illness or food tampering cannot be completely eliminated. Any outbreak of food-borne illness or other food-related incidents attributed to the Company’s restaurants or within the food service industry or any widespread negative publicity regarding the Company brand or the restaurant industry in general could harm the Company’s reputation. What’s more, a liability claim could injure the reputation of all the Company’s restaurants, whether or not it is ultimately successful.
Matters involving employees at company-operated restaurants may expose the Company to potential liability.
The Company is subject to United States federal, state and local employment laws that may expose the Company to liability if the Company is determined to have violated such employment laws. Failure to comply with federal and state labor laws pertaining to minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, unemployment tax rates, workers' compensation regulations, citizenship or residency requirements, child labor requirements, sales taxes and other employment-related matters may have a material adverse effect on business or operations. In addition, employee claims based on, among other things, discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination may divert financial and management resources and adversely affect operations. The losses that may be incurred as a result of any violation of such employment laws are difficult to quantify.
14 |
The Company’s failure or the failure of the Company’s franchisees to comply with federal, state and local governmental regulations may subject the Company to losses and harm to its brand.
The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (which governs such matters as minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions), along with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, various family leave mandates and a variety of other laws enacted, or rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local governmental authorities that govern these and other employment matters, including tip credits, working conditions, safety standards and immigration status. In 2014, the general counsel’s office of the National Labor Relations Board issued complaints naming the McDonald’s Corporation as a joint employer of workers at its franchisees for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. There can be no assurance that other franchisors will not receive similar complaints in the future which may result in legal proceedings based on the actions of its franchisees. The Company expects increases in payroll expenses as a result of federal and state mandated increases in the minimum wage, and although such increases are not expected to be material, the Company cannot be assured that there will not be material increases in the future. Enactment and enforcement of various federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations on immigration and labor organizations may adversely impact the availability and costs of labor for the Company’s restaurants in a particular area or across the United States. Other labor shortages or increased team member turnover could also increase labor costs. In addition, the Company’s vendors may be affected by higher minimum wage standards or availability of labor, which may increase the price of goods and services supplied to the Company. The Company shall continue to evaluate the potential impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and regulations issued thereto on its business, and to accommodate various parts of the law as they take effect. There are no assurances that a combination of cost management and price increases can accommodate all of the costs associated with compliance.
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local governmental regulations, including those relating to the food safety and inspection and the preparation and sale of food and alcoholic beverages. Disruptions within any government agencies could impact the U.S. food industry which may have an adverse effect on business. The Company is also subject to laws and regulations relating to building and zoning requirements. Each of the Company’s and its franchisees' restaurants will also be subject to licensing and regulation by alcoholic beverage control, health, sanitation, safety and fire agencies in the state, county and/or municipality where the restaurant is located. The Company generally has not encountered any material difficulties or failures in obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and approvals that could impact the continuing operations of an existing restaurant, or delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant. Although the Company does not anticipate encountering any material difficulties or failures in obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and approvals necessary for continued operations of the Company’s restaurants and franchisees, certain material difficulties or failures may arise that could impact the continuing operations of the Company’s business.
In addition, the Company is subject to laws and regulations, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, relating to nutritional content and menu labeling. Compliance with these laws and regulations may lead to increased costs and operational complexity and may increase the Company’s exposure to governmental investigations or litigation. In connection with the continued operation or remodeling of certain restaurants, the Company or its franchisees may be required to expend funds to meet federal, state and local and foreign regulations. The inability to obtain or maintain such licenses or publicity resulting from actual or alleged violations of such laws could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Finally, the Company is subject to federal regulation and certain state laws, which govern the offer and sale of franchises. Many state franchise laws contain provisions that supersede the terms of franchise agreements, including provisions concerning the termination or non-renewal of a franchise. Some state franchise laws require that certain materials be registered before franchises can be offered or sold in that state. The failure to obtain or retain licenses or approvals to sell franchises could adversely affect the Company and its franchisees. Changes in, and the cost of compliance with, government regulations could have a material effect on operations.
The Company will be heavily dependent on information technology and any material failure of that technology could impair its ability to efficiently operate its business.
The Company will rely heavily on information systems across its operations, including, for example, point-of-sale processing in the Company’s restaurants, management of its supply chain, collection of cash, payment of obligations and various other processes and procedures. The Company’s ability to efficiently manage its business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, problems with maintenance, upgrading or transitioning to replacement systems, fraudulent manipulation of sales reporting from its restaurants resulting in loss of sales and royalty payments, or a breach in security of these systems could be harmful and cause delays in customer service and reduce efficiency in operations. Significant capital investments might be required to remediate any problems.
As part of the Company’s marketing efforts, the Company will rely on search engine marketing and social media platforms to attract and retain guests. These efforts may not be successful, and pose a variety of other risks, as discussed above under the heading: “A failure to develop and implement innovative marketing and guest relationship initiatives, ineffective or improper use of social media or other marketing initiatives, and increased advertising and marketing costs, could adversely affect business results.”

The Company’s inability or failure to execute on a comprehensive business continuity plan following a major natural disaster such as an earthquake, tornado or man-made disaster, including terrorism, at a restaurant location or corporate facility, could materially adversely impact business.
The Company’s corporate systems and processes and corporate support for the Company’s restaurant operations will be handled primarily at one central location. The Company anticipates putting in place disaster recovery procedures and business continuity plans to address most events of a crisis nature, including earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural or man-made disasters, and back up and off-site locations for recovery of electronic and other forms of data and information. However, if the Company is unable to fully implement these disaster recovery plans, the Company may experience delays in recovery of data, inability to perform vital corporate functions, tardiness in required reporting and compliance, failures to adequately support field operations and other breakdowns in normal communication and operating procedures that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation and exposure to administrative and other legal claims.
The Company’s business depends on its ability to attract and retain talented employees.
The Company’s business is based on successfully attracting and retaining talented employees. The market for highly skilled employees and leaders in the Company’s industry is extremely competitive. If the Company is less successful in its recruiting efforts, or if the Company is unable to retain key employees, the Company’s ability to develop and deliver successful products and services may be adversely affected. Effective succession planning is also important to the Company’s long-term success. Failure to ensure effective transfer of knowledge and smooth transitions involving key employees could hinder the Company’s strategic planning and execution.
Litigation Risk
The Company does not have any business liability, disruption or litigation insurance, and any business disruption or litigation the Company experiences might result in it incurring substantial costs and diversion of resources.
Unforeseen Changes
While the Company has enumerated certain material risk factors herein, it is impossible to know all risks which may arise in the future. In particular, shareholders may be negatively affected by changes in any of the following: (i) laws, rules and regulations; (ii) regional, national and/or global economic factors; (iii) the capacity, circumstances and relationships of partners of the Company or the Management; or (iv) general changes in financial or capital markets.
The Company continuously encounters changes in its operating environment, and the Company may have fewer resources than many of its competitors to continue to adjust to those changes. The operating environment of the Company is undergoing rapid changes, with frequent introductions of laws, regulations, competitors, market approaches, and economic impacts. Future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of the Company to adapt to those changes and providing products and services that will satisfy the demands of their respective businesses and projects. Many of the competitors have substantially greater resources to adapt to those changes. The Company may not effectively react to all of the changes in its operating environment or be successful in adapting its products and approach.
Arbitration
By execution of the subscription agreement for purchase of the Shares, investors in this offering agree to submit to arbitration all claims arising from their investment. Arbitration may not afford investors all the relief they might obtain outside arbitration. Arbitration narrows procedural and other steps available to claimants (such as discovery, broad choice of venue and scope of appellate review) and is, in general, a more informal process than court action. On the other hand, arbitration is normally a less expensive process for a claimant than court action and normally results in a quicker final decision. However, investors may find that as a result of arbitration they are more restricted in the resolution of claims, if any, arising from this investment.
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The Company has issued the following securities in the last three (3) years. All such securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, as noted below. Each of these transactions was issued as part of a private placement of securities by the Company in which (i) no general advertising or solicitation was used, and (ii) the investors purchasing securities were acquiring the same for investment purposes only, without a view to resale. Furthermore, no underwriters participated or effectuated any of the transactions specified below. Also, no underwriting discounts or commissions applied to any of the transactions set forth below. All potential investors were contacted personally and possessed at the time of their investment bona fide substantive, pre-existing business relationships with the Company and/or its officers, directors and affiliates. No potential investors were contacted through other means, and no general advertising or general solicitation was used to solicit any investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Le’ Grille, LLC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Le’ Grille, LLC. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from November 20, 2016 (Inception) through December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Le’ Grille, LLC as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from November 20, 2016 (Inception) through December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced liquidity issues, including a working capital deficit. The Company has not generated sufficient cash flow to repay its current and future obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Further information and management’s plans in regard to this uncertainty are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Le’ Grille, LLC (the "Company"), a New Jersey limited liability company, was formed on November 20, 2016. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to incurring expenses for the formation of the Company. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a public entity for the combination of that target company with the Company. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. The Company will structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating loss of $1,390 during the period from November 20, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,238 and an accumulated deficit of $1,390 as of December 31, 2016. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, contributions of its members, or third-party debt. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2016.

LE’ GRILLE, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes. The federal income tax liability of a New Jersey limited liability company flows through to its members.
NOTE 4 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1,238 consisting of legal and professional fees.
NOTE 5 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice by adding or clarifying guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 noting it will only impact the Company to the extent it has restricted cash in the future.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)." The new standard amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 5 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Current US GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. For public entities, ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, with early application permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. Management believes that the impact of this ASU to the Company’s financial statements would be insignificant.
NOTE 6 – MEMBERS’ EQUITY
The Company is governed by the terms and conditions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement (the Agreement) dated November 20, 2016. The Company shall continue until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or as provided by law, including events of dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved only upon any of the following events: (i) sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, (ii) the agreement of all of the members, (iii) by operation of law, or (iv) the death incompetence, expulsion, or bankruptcy of a member.
Members
The Company is composed of three members: Portia LeGall, Terrence LeGall, and Tara LeGall. Percentage of ownership of members are as follows respectively: 76.5%, 13.3%, and 10.2%. In addition to voting rights required by law, the members shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s members. No action, as defined by the Agreement, shall be taken by the Company without the approval of a majority of its members.
The overall management and control of the Company shall be vested with its Board of Directors (the Board). The Board is composed of a number of directors equal to the number of its members. As of December 31, 2016, the Board is composed of three directors. Each director shall have voting power, for purposes of all Board actions, equal to percentage of ownership interest of the member that the director represents.
During the period from November 20, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company had $152 of operating expenses paid by the Company’s members and contributed as members’ capital. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $1,238 members’ deficit.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events, accordance with FASB ASC Topic 855, "Subsequent Events", through June 30, 2017, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent events are as follows:
The company intends to enter into a Share Exchange Agreement with LeGall Holdings, Inc. (“LHI”) in the near future. LHI will acquire 100% of the Company’s members’ equity in exchange for 255,500 shares of LHI’s common stock. As a result of the aforementioned agreement, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LHI. The closing of this transaction shall occur upon the Company providing LHI with audited financial statements, with such financial statements being prepared by an independent accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Le’Grille, LLC (the "Company"), a New Jersey limited liability company, was formed on November 20, 2016. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to incurring expenses for the formation of the Company. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a public entity for the combination of that target company with the Company. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. The Company will structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2017, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating loss of $2,800 during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company had a working capital deficit of $4,038 and an accumulated deficit of $4,190 as of March 31, 2017. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, contributions of its members, or third-party debt. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes. The federal income tax liability of a New Jersey limited liability company flows through to its members.
NOTE 4 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $4,038 and $1,238 of accrued professional fees, respectively.
NOTE 5 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice by adding or clarifying guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 noting it will only impact the Company to the extent it has restricted cash in the future.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its financial statements.

NOTE 5 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)." The new standard amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its financial statements.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events, accordance with FASB ASC Topic 855, "Subsequent Events", through June 30, 2017, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent events are as follows:
The company intends to enter into a Share Exchange Agreement with LeGall Holdings, Inc. (“LHI”) in the near future. LHI will acquire 100% of the Company’s members’ equity in exchange for 255,500 shares of LHI’s common stock. As a result of the aforementioned agreement, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LHI. The closing of this transaction shall occur upon the Company providing LHI with audited financial statements, with such financial statements being prepared by an independent accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
