RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks, together with all other information set forth in this Offering Circular, including the financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Digital Marketing Operations
Small company in the start-up phase.
We are a start-up company in the initial phases of operation. This provides risk as we continue to grow and implement our business plan. Being that we are a startup company, we have limited business operations. Our growth and ability to sustain business expenses will greatly depend on our ability to raise additional capital.
Adverse economic or other conditions in the markets in which we do business could negatively affect our sales and retention rates and therefore our operating results.
Our operating results are dependent upon our ability to maximize the strengths in our marketing plan and we rely on being able to expand our restaurants to other areas. Adverse economic or other conditions in the markets in which we operate may lower our revenue and make it difficult to continue operations.
We face competition, which may impede our ability to open future locations or may increase the cost of expansion.
We compete with many other entities engaged in quick service restaurant businesses. While we believe we have a unique product that will provide a competitive advantage, we are competing with other restaurants that could be better funded and more well-known than Fast Casual Concepts, Inc.
Risks associated with officers and directors’ ability to independently control the operations of the Company.
Due to the share structure and the fact that we are in the start-up phase of the Company, the current officers and directors independently control the operations of the Company including but not limited to election of other directors, approval of significant corporate transactions and ability to issue additional shares.
Adverse economic or other conditions in the markets in which we do business could negatively affect our revenues and therefore our operating results.
Our operating results are dependent upon our ability to provide a quality dining experience. Adverse economic or other conditions in the markets in which we operate may lower our ability to continue to grow. If we fail to generate revenues sufficient to meet our cash requirements, including operating and other expenses, debt service and capital expenditures, our net income, cash flow, financial condition, and the trading price of our securities could be adversely affected.
We will depend upon our staff to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, and any difficulties we encounter in hiring, training and maintaining skilled personnel may harm our operating performance.
We have an experienced staff that has substantial experience. However, we do depend on a high level of customer satisfaction to continue growing our business and as we grow it will be necessary to hire and develop employees that have an extremely high desire to provide excellent customer service. If our staff is unable to provide the level of service we expect it could negatively impact our operating performance.
Increases in taxes and regulatory compliance costs may reduce our income.
Increases in the taxes in general may reduce our net income, cash flow, financial condition, ability to pay or refinance our debt obligations, and the trading price of our securities. Similarly, changes in laws increasing the potential liability for operating conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which could similarly adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Industry
The industry has large companies that have acquired a large share of the market
Our ability to succeed will depend on our ability to compete with large companies with more financing and easier access to necessary expansion capital. Capturing portions of the market from these large companies will be integral in accomplishing our business plan and growing our business.
Current risks in the industry include the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Our ability to continue operations through the ongoing restrictions on businesses due to the Coronavirus Pandemic could affect our profitability in the future. Changes to our dine-in options could be affected for a longer period of time then is now expected and could have a negative effect on our business.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.
The market price for our common stock is volatile and the trading in our common stock is limited and sporadic. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
● | Unplanned delays in acquiring new business; |
● | Stock price performance of our competitors; |
● | Default on our indebtedness; |
● | Actions by our competitors; |
● | Changes in senior management or key personnel; |
● | Incurrence of indebtedness or issuances of capital stock; and |
● | Economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance. |
In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies in our industry. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.
Substantial future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares. The shares of common stock offered in this offering will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act.
We will continue to incur certain costs as a result of conducting a Tier 2 offering under Regulation A and in the administration of our organizational structure.
After the offering, we may incur higher legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses than at the level that we are currently experiencing. We also have incurred and will continue to incur costs associated with conducting a Tier 2 offering under Regulation A and related rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Despite the on-going reporting requirements from conducting such an offering, the Company will not be “public” once this offering circular is qualified or subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will continue to incur ongoing periodic expenses in connection with the administration of our organizational structure. The expenses incurred by companies for reporting requirements required by Regulation A have been increasing. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, our board committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a Company required to follow Regulation A Tier 2 filing requirements, we could be subject to penalties, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.
This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.
This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for our shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our Board of Directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion without the input of an investment bank or other third party. The fixed offering price for our shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our Company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for our shares may not be supported by the current value of our Company or our assets at any particular time.
We do not currently pay any cash dividends.
As we grow our Company and become a successful Company, we expect to be in position to generate earnings and cash flow that will enable us to begin paying dividends, however, the projected timing of reaching that point is presently uncertain. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted by the terms of any future credit agreement or any future debt or preferred equity securities of ours or of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, realization of a gain on your investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends in the foreseeable future should not purchase our common stock.

| ● | Remaining funds of approximately 10% will be used for general operating expenses and potential investment opportunities to allow the formation of strategic partnerships or for Company acquisitions. |
| ● | If all of the securities being qualified in this offering statement are not sold, it will not materially affect the use of proceeds as described above—the stated uses would receive less aggregate funding, but the allocations would remain substantially similar. |
DIVIDEND POLICY
As we become fully operational, we could be in a position to generate earnings and cash flow that will enable us to begin paying dividends on our Common Stock, however, the projected timing of reaching that point is presently uncertain. The decision to pay a dividend remains within the discretion of our Board of Directors and may be affected by various factors, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other considerations our Board of Directors deems relevant. Future credit facilities, other future debt obligations and statutory provisions, may limit, or in some cases prohibit, our ability to pay dividends.
BUSINESS
Overview
Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. is a holding Company that has opened three distinct fast casual brands. Five restaurants are now in business. The Company expects to open several more restaurants in 2022, and the plan of franchising restaurants next year. The restaurants are:
| ● | Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream |
This business plan was prepared to obtain financing for the initial launch of the Company. A unique, mid-scale, innovative environment is required to provide customers with an atmosphere that they will enjoy as much as the food. Some of the financing obtained through this offering will be used for property leasing, equipment purchases, and to cover expenses of operation. Additional financing will be required to open subsequent restaurants and prepare for franchising.
Although the concept of fast casual originated in the United States in the 1990’s, it did not become mainstream until late 2000’s/early 2010’s. During the economic recession that began in 2007, the category of fast casual dining saw increased sales to the 18 – 34-year-old demographic. This demographic group has limited disposable spending for meals, so they tend to choose fast casual since it is perceived as healthier. A fast casual restaurant offers higher quality food than fast food restaurants, with fewer frozen or processed ingredients, but it does not provide full table service. It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining, and usually priced accordingly.
Fast casual restaurants meet the following criteria:
| 1. | Limited-service or self-service format |
| 2. | Average meal price between $8 and $15 |
| 3. | Made-to-order food with more complex flavors than fast food restaurants |
| 4. | Upscale, unique or highly developed décor |
| 5. | Most often will not have a drive thru |
Fast Casual Concepts opened Company-owned restaurants to validate performance, before offering franchise opportunities to qualified buyers. The four restaurants are an answer to the increasing dining demand of millennials. They (1) want value for everything that they purchase, (2) will not accept anything that does not meet their expectations, and (3) want a pleasant dining experience in a socially comfortable environment. The three food sectors: burgers, tacos, and pizza are cuisines that millennials want to eat, and Fast Casual Concepts will operate the restaurants they want to patronize.
In today’s highly competitive environment, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to differentiate one restaurant concept from another. Fast Casual Concepts will do this by offering entrees made with fresh ingredients. The food will be prepared daily on the premises and seasoned to perfection. The grills and ovens in our restaurants will be out in the open and loaded with burgers, taco meat, and pizzas. With our high-quality, streamlined menu, diners will receive their food quickly and piping hot. We believe that fresh ingredients produce the high-quality products that today’s health-conscious consumer’s desire.
This business plan presents our vision and strategic plan to offer fast casual dining to our target market segments—the 18 – 34-year old and position the brand for successful franchising in the future. This plan includes the restaurants, market strategy, investment requirements, financial forecasts, management team, and franchisee recruitment.
The first restaurant, Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream, opened in September 2019 in Slippery Rock, PA. Two additional restaurants, Independent Taco and Third Eye Pies, opened in January 2020 in Grove City, PA. A fourth store, a second Independent Taco, opened in 2020 in Butler, PA
Objectives
Fast Casual Concepts’ objectives for the first three years of operation include:
| 1. | Average annual sales in each location between $700k - $1 million |
| 2. | Operate each restaurant at a minimum gross margin of 20% |
| 3. | Keep food and labor costs, as a percent of revenue, at 30% and 30%, respectively |
| 4. | Maintain tight operational controls by hiring an experienced manager for each location and using electronic management controls. |
| 5. | Increase sales by 20% in 2022 |
| 6. | Begin franchising restaurants in 2022 |
Keys to Short-Term Success
The keys to short-term success are:
| 1. | The creation of a unique, mid-scale atmosphere with fresh, high-quality food that will differentiate us from the competition. |
| 2. | Serve high-quality food at competitive prices in a clean, fun environment. |
| 3. | Product quality and consistency. |
| 4. | Price effectively with respect to the quality and customer value proposition. |

PART F/S

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and Subsidiary
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Entity”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and Subsidiary in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and Subsidiary is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated in the Going Concern paragraph above is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit mater or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
We have served as Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and Subsidiary’s auditor since 2020.

FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021 and 2020
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 (“Franchising”). 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. Franchising was incorporated on February 24, 2021, under the laws 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. Franchising was incorporated to pursue future franchising opportunities for the Fast Casual brands.
Basis of Presentation
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Fast Casual has elected a calendar year-end.
Cash Equivalents
Fast Casual considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Fast Casual recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Series Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue based on the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation as each performance obligation in a contract is satisfied.
Food and beverage sales, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, represents food and beverage product sold and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold and product is delivered to the customer. Revenue is presented net of sales tax. Sales taxes collected from customers are included in other accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to governmental authorities.

FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021 and 2020
Food and Beverage Costs
Food and beverage costs include inventory costs of purchased food and beverages for resale. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned.
Inventory
Inventories consist of food, beverage and related serving supplies and are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Leases
Operating leases consist of restaurant locations and generally have remaining terms of 5 - 10 years and most include options to extend the leases for additional 5-year periods. Generally, the lease term is the minimum of the noncancelable period of the lease or the lease term inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods. If the estimate of our reasonably certain lease term was changed, our depreciation and rent expense could differ materially.
Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, our operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
Pre-Opening Expenses
Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new restaurants are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
Production costs of commercials are expensed in the fiscal period the advertising is first aired while the costs of programming and other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred. These costs are reported as part of general and administrative in the consolidated statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
Fast Casual records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 515, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
FAST CASUAL CONCEPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021 and 2020
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) and ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Fast Casual has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its 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 financial position or results of operations.
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (“ASU 2021-05”). ASU 2021-05 was issued to address the day-one loss issue related to a lessor’s accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments, requiring a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate to be classified as operating under certain conditions. ASU 2021-05 is effective for the Company for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2021-05, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 codifies how an issuer should account for modifications made to equity-classified written call options. The guidance in ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant that does not cause the warrant to become liability-classified as an exchange of the original warrant for a new warrant. This guidance applies whether the modification is structured as an amendment to the terms and conditions of the warrant or as termination of the original warrant and issuance of a new warrant. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2021-04, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

December 31, 2021 and 2020
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by removing the separation models for convertible debt with cash conversion and beneficial conversion features by requiring entities not to separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and instead will account for a convertible debt instrument and convertible preferred stock as a single unit of account unless a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or was issued at a substantial premium. The ASU was early adopted for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Long Lived Assets
Periodically Fast Casual assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Fast Casual recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Fast Casual presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. 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 are as follows:

Basic Loss Per Share: | | | | | | | | |

Income Taxes
Fast Casual files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Pennsylvania. Fast Casual’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | |

The federal income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to the following:
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | |

The Company had net operating losses of approximately $894,748 that begin to expire in 2029. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. In accordance with the statute of limitations for federal tax returns, the Company’s federal tax returns for the years 2019 through 2021 are subject to examination.

The liability is calculated as the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases using either the rate implicit in the lease or, if none exists, Fast Casual's incremental borrowing rate of 6.99%.

NOTE 6 - 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 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.

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 restaurant in 2022. To date, Fast Casual has raised over $1,000,000 and is seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 total through private placements of its common stock.

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 attain profitable operations.
