Results of Operations
For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to The Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenues
We had $730,994 in revenues from food and beverage sales at our three stores during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 412,336 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $318,658, or 77% increase, is mainly due to the opening of a new location in December 2020 as well as the increased sales from brand recognition and general economic recovery.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $938,213 and $599,959 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The $338,254, or 56%, increase in operating expenses is mainly due to a $168,722, or 85%, increase in cost of sales, which was $366,988 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $198,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of sales consists of food, beverage and service supplies used in our four operating stores. The increase in cost of sales is a result of the opening of a fourth store in December 2020 and increasing sales as discussed above.
Facility expenses increased $26,573, to $58,163 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $31,590 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is due to the entry into four leases for our four currently operating stores, including the addition of the fourth store in December 2020.
Compensation expense and general and administrative expenses increased by $68,094 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $389,416, compared to $321,322 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is directly related to the increasing personnel and operations and administrative expense requirements of the four operating stores.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $123,646 and $48,781 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a $74,865, or 153%, increase. The increase is mainly due to placing new stores and equipment into service during the periods..
Loss from Operations
We incurred losses from operations of $207,219 and $187,623 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $19,596 increase is mainly due to the increases in operating expenses, as offset by increasing revenues, as discussed above.
Other Income and Expenses
We incurred total other income of $38,384 and $2,600 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $35,784 increase is mainly due to $78,551 increase in forgiven government grants and loans totaling $88,551 in the 2021 period, compared to $10,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other income was partially offset by a $42,767 increase in interest expense related to notes payable and related part notes.
Net Loss
Net loss totaled $168,835 and $187,623 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net loss is mainly due to increased operations and operating expenses totaling $938,213, as offset by $730,994 in revenue and $38,384 in other income in 2021, compared to $599,959 in operating expenses, $412,336 in revenue and $2,600 in other income in 2020.
Liquidity
Current assets at June 30, 2021 totaled $29,115 and was composed of $582 in cash, $5,712 in accounts receivable, $147 in prepaid expenses and $22,674 in inventory, as compared to current assets of $51,208 consisting of prepaid expenses of $20,786 and inventory of $30,422 at December 31, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our operating activities provided net cash of $15,484, compared to $65,335 in net cash used in operations in the comparable 2020 period. The increase of $80,819 in cash provided in operations is mainly due to the $58,037 net decrease in assets, a $16,188 decrease in net loss and a $9,303 net change in non-cash operating activities, partially offset by a $2,709 decrease in net liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities was $84,919 and $32,811 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash payments of $84,919 and $66,721 were made for leasehold improvement, furniture and equipment purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We received lease incentive payments from our landlord of $33,910 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no such incentive payments in the comparable 2021 period.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements presented are those of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. (“Fast Casual”, or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fast Casual Concepts Franchising LLC (“Concepts”). Fast Casual was originally incorporated on March 23, 2019, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania (PA). On April 13, 2020, the Company re-domiciled in the state of Wyoming, increasing its authorized number common shares available to be issued to 750,000,000 and effectuating a 10-for-1 forward-split of its common stock. Concepts was incorporated on February 24, 2021, under the lawes of the state of Wyoming.
Fast Casual was incorporated to develop, build, operate and franchise casual eating establishments under brand names such as The Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream (“Holy Cow”), Independent Taco and Third Eye Pies. Fast Casual has four open stores, the Holy Cow, in Slippery Rock, PA, the Third Eye Pies in Butler, PA and an Independent Taco and a Third Eye Pies both in Mercer, PA. Additionally, the Company currently has one store under construction, a Third Eye Pies in Washington, PA. Concepts was incorporated to pursue future franchising opportunities for the Fast Casual brands.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with Fast Casual's most recent audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fast Casual has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Fast Casual presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented are as follows:

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
Fast Casual's financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Fast Casual has recently accumulated losses since its inception and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the Fast Casual's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
Fast Casual opened its first restaurant in 2019, opened two more in January 2020, one restaurant in December 2020 and plans to open a fifth and sixth restaurant by the end of 2021. Fast Casual has raised $319,851 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 total through private placements of its common stock. Funds received from the issuance of debt and equity is being used to expand brand identity through location expansion, identify new revenue sources and upgrade internal reporting systems to assist in identifying cost reduction opportunities to achieve profitability. The continuation of Fast Casual as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations that produce positive cash flows. If Fast Casual is not successful, it may be forced to raise additional debt or equity financing.
There can be no assurance that Fast Casual will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of Fast Casual to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
