Item 1. BUSINESS
Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. is a holding Company for distinctly-branded fast casual restaurants, including: Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream, Independent Taco, Third Eye Pies and others in the planning stages. 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 has franchised its Company-owned restaurants and has added food trucks as an option. The food trucks have served a dual purpose; it provides additional opportunities for customers to try our food while working as an advertising tool. Now Fast Casual Concepts is actively offering franchise opportunities to qualified buyers. Fast Casual Concepts is implementing franchising opportunities for food trucks as well. The three concepts 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.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company, as well as the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements made in this Annual Report which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and our business, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to raise capital, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "would," "could," "should," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "plans," "intends," "targets" or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which we may conduct business, changes in the interest rate environment, international gold prices, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our current or potential business and related matters.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Overview
Prior to October 2022, we operated five stores, following the sale of the stores we turned our focus to the franchising and marketing of the Fast Casual brands, The Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream (“Holy Cow”), Independent Taco and Third Eye Pies. Revenues from continuing operations are the result of franchising operations.
Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
The following significant accounting policies require management estimates and assumptions which may result in material impacts to Fast Casual’s financial condition.
Stock Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration 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 based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses in prior years for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. |
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant for the asset or liability. |
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and notes payable, related party, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those items. No other assets or liabilities were required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 in 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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 matter 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, 2023 and 2022
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 to pursue franchising opportunities for the Fast Casual brands.
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 operated five stores, the Holy Cow, in Slippery Rock, PA, Third Eye Pies in Washington, PA, Third Eye Pies in Butler, PA and an Independent Taco and a Third Eye Pies both in Mercer, PA. All restaurant development, building and operations were discontinued on October 1, 2022 as the result of a Contract for the Purchase and Sale of a Business and Addendum to Franchise Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Great American Ventures, an entity owned and operated by an officer and director of Fast Casual (“Great American”) (see Note 7).
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.
Fast Casual recognizes revenue from continuing operations from franchising rights to its brand names. Franchising revenue was $65,761 and $15,625 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Revenue from discontinued operations is from food and beverage sales of eating establishments which were sold on October 1, 2022 as the result of the aforementioned Purchase Agreement, whereby all of the eating establishment development, build and operations were sold to a related party (see Note 7).

FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023 and 2022
Leases
All Fast Casual leases, which consisted of restaurant locations, were assigned to and assumed by the purchaser in the Purchase Agreement executed on October 1, 2022 (see Note 2). Operating lease assets and liabilities were recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represented the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represented rights 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, incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term were estimated. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
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 statements 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.
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.

FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023 and 2022
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and notes payable, related party, 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 September 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Series Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, (“ASU 2016-13”), supplemented by subsequent accounting standards updates. The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13, as amended, is scheduled to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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, 2023 and 2022.
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 for both continuing and discontinued operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations 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. There are no outstanding dilutive instruments as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Income Taxes
Fast Casual records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more likely than not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

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. 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:
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. Funds received from the issuance of debt and equity is being used to expand brand identity through location expansion and identify new revenue sources 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 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.

NOTE 7 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 1, 2022, Fast Casual entered into a Purchase Agreement with Great American, whereby, Great American purchased all restaurant equipment, fixtures and existing inventory and assumed certain liabilities of Fast Casual, including outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and payroll liabilities as well as the five operating leases for each restaurant space, an equipment note payable and a related party note payable. The principal owner of Great American returned 24,000,000 shares of Fast Casual common stock to the Company, which, due to the related party nature of the transaction were retired at the net book value of the assets transferred, and liabilities assumed. Also, as a result of timing of the agreement, $50,866 in accounts receivable were reclassified to related party receivables from Great American as of December 31, 2022 and were received as collected.
The disposition of the restaurant development, construction and operations business qualified as a discontinued operation as it represented a significant strategic shift of the Company’s operations and financial results. In addition, the operations and cash flows of the restaurant operations business can be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remaining operations of the Company. The historical statement of operations of the restaurant business as of December 31, 2022 has been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 - 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.

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 2020 through 2022 are subject to examination.
