PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 4 and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” beginning on page 8.

 

About Hometown

 

Hometown International, Inc. was incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company, we operate a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s sole unit was built in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

 

We have temporarily closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey on March 23, 2020. We plan to reopen the delicatessen once the order is lifted. As of the date hereof, the delicatessen remains closed as the stay-at-home order has been extended until further notice.

 

Warrants

 

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to all of the Company’s shareholders of record as of April 15, 2020. As of such date, the Company issued to each shareholder of record: (i) five Class A Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Class A Warrants”), (ii) five Class B Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Class B Warrants”), (iii) five Class C Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Class C Warrants”), and (iv) five Class D Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Class D Warrants”), with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company issued an aggregate of 155,940,080 Warrants. As of the date of this prospectus, no Warrants have been exercised.

Private Placement

 

On April 14, 2020, we consummated private offers and sales (collectively, the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to three investors who are also Selling Shareholders for gross cash proceeds to us of $2,500,000. In addition to customary representations and warranties made by the parties in the subscription agreements, the Company agreed to discuss with each investor, at least on a quarterly basis, and in advance of any consideration taken by the Company, of its current plans to list on a national securities exchange. The Company also agreed not to take certain actions without the express written consent of one of such holders, including any change in management or to the board of directors, change the Company’s independent public accountant, incurrence of any expense over $50,000, or any other material action. The Company further agreed to maintain its corporate existence and not sell all or substantially all of its assets, except when the surviving entity is a publicly traded entity which assumes the Company’s obligations under the Warrants the investors received and under the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with the investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to said investors and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and for general corporate purposes.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

a requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion   and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

 

reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements;

 

no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

 

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we had issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

 

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

Our financial condition and results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, was first reported and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. To date, this outbreak has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world, and as the pandemic continues to spread, particularly in the United States, businesses as well as federal, state and local governments have implemented significant actions to attempt to mitigate this public health crisis. As a result, on March 23, 2020, we temporarily closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. We plan to reopen the delicatessen once the order is lifted. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even once the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. The further spread of COVID-19, and the requirements to take action to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, will impact our ability to carry out our business as usual and may materially adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Even when we are able to reopen our store, we might be subject to modified hours and conditions. Moreover, should New Jersey fail to fully contain COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19 relapse, the market for our deli may not recover quickly or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As a result, we may incur additional impairment charges to our inventory, store and corporate assets, any of which may have a significant or material impact on our financial results. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the scope and duration of actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. While such actions may be relaxed or rolled back if and when the pandemic abates, the actions may be reinstated as it continues to evolve. The scope and timing of any such reinstatements are difficult to predict and may materially affect our future operations.

 

4

 

 

Economic conditions in the United States could adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in or uncertainty about macro-economic conditions. Our customers may have less money for discretionary purchases and may stop or reduce their purchases of our products or trade down to competitors’ lower priced foods as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, increased fuel and energy costs, higher interest rates, inflation, higher taxes, reduced access to credit, economic uncertainty and potential negative impacts relating to federal economic policy changes and recent international trade disputes. These factors may also result in a general downturn in the restaurant industry. Decreases in customer traffic and/or average value per transaction will negatively impact our financial performance as reduced revenues without a corresponding decrease in expenses result in sales de-leveraging, which creates downward pressure on margins and also negatively impacts net revenues, operating income and earnings per share. There is also a risk that if negative economic conditions or uncertainty persist for a long period of time or worsen, consumers may make long-lasting changes to their discretionary purchasing behavior, including less frequent discretionary purchases on a more permanent basis.

 

If our business plans are not successful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and our shareholders may lose their entire investment in us.

 

On March 23, 2020, we have temporarily closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. We plan to reopen the delicatessen once the order is lifted. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even once the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we a may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. We expect our growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 once we resume our delicatessen operations.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We do not have any agreement for a business combination or other transaction.

 

We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that future funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.

 

Future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.

 

The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company. While business combinations with entities having established operating histories are preferred, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. The decision to enter into a business combination will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys or similar information which, if we had more funds available to it, would be desirable. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will identify a target company and consummate a business combination.

 

5

 

 

There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger or combination transaction of the type contemplated by management.

 

We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do. Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.

 

We have not conducted market research to identify business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.

 

We have neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market research concerning prospective business opportunities. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.

 

Although management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company, which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our Chairman intends to devote his full business time to seeking a target company.

 

While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting very limited time to our affairs in total. However, Peter Coker, Jr., our Chairman, intends to devote his full time to seeking a business combination for the Company. Neither Mr. Coker nor any of our officers have entered into any written employment agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination. We are dependent on the services of our management to obtain the additional capital required to implement our business plan and for investigating, negotiating and integrating potential acquisition opportunities. The loss of services of our officers could have a substantial adverse effect on us. The expansion of our business will be largely contingent on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified corporate and operations level management team. We cannot assure you that we will find suitable management personnel or will have financial resources to attract or retain such people if found.

 

The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.

 

Target companies that are private or that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited consolidated financial statements for the company acquired. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition.

 

6

 

 

Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.

 

If we enter into a business combination with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to consummate a merger or business combination. If our outstanding warrants operations do not produce the necessary cash needed, or if we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors.

 

There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors. In addition, should we incur significant presently unforeseen expenses or delays, we may not be able to accomplish our goals.

 

Our shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination.

 

We might consummate a business combination without obtaining shareholder approval of such transaction. Although a business combination might be structured so that obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such purpose would be a condition to closing, it is possible that we will consummate a business combination without the need for obtaining such approval. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or not will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the structure of the transaction, the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval.

 

Our failure to adopt certain corporate governance procedures may prevent us from obtaining a listing on a national securities exchange.

 

We do not have an audit, compensation or nominating and corporate governance committee. The functions such committees would perform are performed by the board as a whole. Consequently, there is a potential conflict of interest in board decisions that may adversely affect our ability to become a listed security on a national securities exchange and as a result adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

There is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our shareholders, which means that you could receive little or no return on your investment.

 

Payment of dividends from our earnings and profits may be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors. There is no assurance that we will generate any distributable cash from operations.  Our board may elect to retain cash for operating purposes, debt retirement, or some other purpose. Consequently, you may receive little or no return on your investment.

 

Our shares will be subordinate to all of our debts and liabilities, which increases the risk that you could lose your entire investment.

 

Our shares are equity interests that will be subordinate to all of our current and future indebtedness with respect to claims on our assets. In any liquidation, all of our debts and liabilities must be paid before any payment is made to our shareholders. The amount of any debt financing we incur creates a substantial risk that in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, we may have no assets remaining for distribution to our shareholders after payment of our debts.

 

7

 

 

There is a limited public market for our Common Stock.

 

There is currently a limited public market for the common stock. Holders of our common stock may, therefore, have difficulty selling their common stock, should they decide to do so. In addition, there can be no assurances that such markets will continue or that any shares of common stock will be able to be sold without incurring a loss. Any such market price of the common stock may not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value, and may not be indicative of the market price for the common stock in the future. Further, the market price for the common stock may be volatile depending on a number of factors, including business performance, industry dynamics, news announcements or changes in general.

 

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of capital stock. We have an aggregate of 155,940,080 warrants issued and outstanding which are all currently exercisable. The future issuance of common stock will result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDENDS

 

Market Price for our Common Stock

 

 There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “HWIN”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Pink securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Pink securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Pink issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Pink on May 9, 2019. Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

 

Holders

 

As of June 1, 2020, there were 52 holders of record of our Common Stock. The number of record holders does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Developments

 

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

Corporate Developments

 

On December 31, 2019, each of Paul F. Morina and Christine T. Lindenmuth, the principal officers and directors and majority shareholders of the Company, entered into separate Stock Purchase Agreements with Peter L. Coker, Jr., which provided for the sale by each of them of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The consideration paid for the shares, which represented approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, was an aggregate of $3,000.

 

On February 1, 2020, Christine Lindenmuth, an officer and director of the Company, granted Peter L. Coker, Jr., Chairman of our Board, an option to purchase all of her 1,500,000 shares in the Company for $500. On March 19, 2020, Mr. Coker exercised the option and paid Ms. Lindenmuth $1,500 for the 1,500,000 shares. Mr. Coker simultaneously sold all of the 1,500,00 shares to three separate purchasers.

 

On February 17, 2020, Mr. Coker was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On March 18, 2020 the Company repurchased an aggregate of 38,336 shares of the Company’s common stock from a total of 11 shareholders, at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

 

On March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to the shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020, which was then extended to April 15, 2020. As of such date, the Company send each shareholder of record (i) five Class A Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, (ii) five Class B Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (iii) five Class C Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and (iv) five Class D Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company issued an aggregate of 155,940,080 Warrants. The Warrants include antidilution provisions and other rights, which are contained in all the Warrants. In addition to the customary antidilution adjustment for stock splits and reclassifications, if at any time the Company issues rights to purchase shares pro rata to all of its the shareholders, then the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to such rights. The holders of the Warrant shall also be entitled to dividends paid to the Company’s shareholders as if the holders had exercised the Warrants. Moreover, until the Company’s common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants then in effect, then simultaneously with the consummation of each such issuance, the exercise price of the Warrants shall be reduced to equal such lower price. In addition, the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to all notices as if said holders were holders of the common stock of the Company. To date none of the Warrants have been exercised.

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada increasing the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.

 

Effective as of May 1, 2020, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Tryon Capital Ventures LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Tryon”) which is 50% owned by the father of Mr. Coker, our Chairman of the Board. Pursuant to this agreement, Tryon was engaged as a consultant to the Company, to, among other things, support in the research, development, and analysis of product, financial and strategic matters. The term of the Tryon Consulting Agreement is one year; provided, however, that each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other. Pursuant to the agreement, Tryon shall receive $15,000 per month during the term of the agreement, in addition to reimbursement of expenses approved in advance by the Company.

 

Effective as of May 1, 2020, we also entered into a Consulting Agreement with VCH Limited, a company formed under the laws of Macau (“VCH”) which owns in excess of 10% of our common stock. Pursuant to this agreement, VCH was engaged as a consultant to the Company, to, among other things, create and build a presence with high net worth and institutional investors. The term of the agreement is one year; provided, however, that each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other. Pursuant to the agreement, VCH shall receive $25,000 per month during the term of the agreement, in addition to reimbursement of expenses approved in advance by the Company.

 

Private Placement

 

On April 14, 2020, we consummated private offers and sales (collectively, the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to three investors who are also Selling Shareholders for gross cash proceeds of $2,500,000. In addition to customary representations and warranties made by the parties in the Private Placement documents, the Company agreed to discuss with these investors, at least on a quarterly basis, and in advance of any consideration taken by the Company, of its current plans to list on a national securities exchange. The Company also agreed not to take certain actions without the express written consent of one of such investors, including any change in management or to the board of directors, change the Company’s independent public accountant, incurrence of any expense over $50,000, or any other material action. The Company further agreed to maintain its corporate existence and not sell all or substantially all of its assets, except when the surviving entity is a publicly traded entity which assumes the Company’s obligations under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with the three investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants they received.

 

The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from the Offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and for general corporate purposes.

 

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed that no later than 20 calendar days after it receives notice from at least two-thirds of the investors, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares issued in the Private Placement, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants received by the three investors. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such registration statement is declared effective within 60 calendar days of filing with the SEC, or 90 days in the event of a full review by the SEC. If the Company is late in filing the registration statement, or if the registration statement is not declared effective on a timely basis, the Company will be required to pay these three investors, who are also included as selling shareholders in this prospectus, liquidated damages at a rate equal to 1% of the purchase price for each full month the registration requirements have not been satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of any such liquidated damages exceed 10% of the total purchase price. The Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the expiration of the Warrants, or until Rule 144 is available.

 

11

 

 

On April 22, 2020, the Company received a demand letter from the investors pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement requesting that the Company register the Common Stock and the warrants owned by the three investors in a registration statement. On May 6, 2020, the three investors consented to a waiver of all the securities being registered to only include the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. On June 4, 2020, the three investors consented to a second waiver and agreed to include only 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the investors.

 

Going forward, we intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. Our objectives discussed below are extremely general and are not intended to restrict discretion of our Board of Directors to search for and enter into potential business opportunities or to reject any such opportunities. We have no particular business combination in mind and have not entered into any negotiations regarding such a combination. Neither our officers nor any of our affiliates has engaged in any negotiations with any representative of any company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or combination between our company and such other company. We have not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction.

 

We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Further, we may acquire or combine with a venture that is in its preliminary or early stages of development, one that is already in operation or one that is in a more mature stage of its corporate existence. Accordingly, business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.

 

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our executive officers and directors, none of whom is a business analyst. Therefore, it is anticipated that outside consultants or advisors may be utilized to assist us in the search for and analysis of qualified target companies.

 

A decision to participate or not in a specific business opportunity will be made based upon our analysis of the quality of the prospective business opportunity’s management and personnel, its assets, the anticipated acceptability of products or marketing concepts, the merit of a proposed business plan and numerous other factors that are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze using any objective criteria. We have unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities.

 

In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following kinds of factors:

 

potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

 

competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

 

strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

 

capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by us or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through bank loans or other commercial borrowing arrangements, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

 

the cost of participation by us as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;

 

the extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

 

the accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

 

other relevant factors.

 

12

 

 

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data.

 

Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

 

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, licensing agreement or other arrangement with another entity. We also may acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction it is probable that the present management and shareholders of the company will no longer be in control of the company. In addition, some or all of our officers and directors, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, likely will be required to resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors without a vote of our shareholders.

 

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on that market.

 

While the actual terms of a transaction to which we may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition as a “tax-free” reorganization under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management are expected to focus on the percentage of our company that the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our existing shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in our company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership of our existing shareholders may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our shareholders at such time.

 

We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and accountants, and will include miscellaneous other terms.

 

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in our loss of the related costs incurred.

 

We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to identify and consummate a transaction with a business opportunity. The primary competition will be from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, all of which may have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

The Your Hometown Deli Concept

 

Your Hometown Deli is a delicatessen concept that will focus on providing high-quality food products not available in local supermarkets or take-out restaurants. The delicatessen concept has a worldwide history with the term first appearing in the English language in 1889. The word “delicatessen” originates in the German language and means “delicacies” or “fine foods.” Delicatessens vary throughout the world, but in the United States a delicatessen (or “deli”) is a small retail store that is a blend of a grocery and a fast-food restaurant.

 

The Company’s Your Hometown Deli concept is patterned after traditional delicatessens, offering a wider and fresher menu than found at fast-food restaurants. Sandwiches and green salads are made fresh to order. Like many delis, Your Hometown Deli serves some hot foods kept on a steam table, similar to a cafeteria. In addition to ready-to-eat food, the Your Hometown Deli sells cold cuts by weight. A wide variety of beverages are also sold together with potato chips and similar products.

 

In addition to our food offering, newspapers, limited household items and small snack items, such as candy, cookies and chewing gums are planned to be available for purchase. Your Hometown Deli also provides take-out service and limited seating in the store.

 

Products

 

Your Hometown Deli provides sandwiches, soups, salads, deli meats/cheeses, hot/cold drinks, fresh breads/rolls and small retail items for cooking, baking, and home use. Salads include made-to-order green salads, prepared pasta, potato, chicken, or other variety of “wet” salads. Breakfast products include baked goods (breakfast pastries, bagels, toast), yogurt, and hot breakfast sandwiches. Fresh coffee, tea and other hot and cold beverages are also available for purchase.

 

Strategy

 

The Company’s business strategy is to create a food-centered social environment within the local community that offers higher-quality prepared food and ingredients than is typically found locally. The Company’s management believes that broader market trends and certain locality-specific attributes support this strategy. The average American eats out 4-5 times a week and according to the United States Department of Labor. Management of the Company believes the increased popularity of eating out in the United States is a social trend that is likely to continue in the future.

 

Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to our company. If we cannot obtain financing or if we determine not to proceed with our business plan, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location.

 

Location

 

The Company’s sole location is in Paulsboro, a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey that was founded in 1904. Paulsboro is located directly across the Delaware River from the city of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia airport. Your Hometown Deli is located on a property in the commercial area of downtown Paulsboro that has two buildings. The front building is the location of the new Your Hometown Deli as well as the local Conrail offices. The rear building is used throughout the week as a practice facility by the local wrestling club and other sports groups. Paulsboro has a national reputation for its wrestling activities and one of the Company’s founders is a leader in the sport of wrestling.

 

The borough of Paulsboro is undergoing a redevelopment phase from a petroleum products specialty port into an adaptable “OmniPort” able to handle a diversity of bulk, break bulk cargo and shipping containers. Studies completed in 2012 concluded that the port is well suited to become a center for the manufacturing, assembly, and transport of wind turbines and platforms for the development of Atlantic Wind Connection. The port is located approximately one mile from the site of the Your Hometown Deli. The Company’s management believes that hundreds of employees around the area will eventually pass the Your Hometown Deli, the only food establishment on the main commuter route to the Port.

The Market

 

The local Paulsboro market is small, but conducive to hosting a Your Hometown Deli. According to the 2010 United States Census, there were 6,097 people and 2,286 households residing in the borough. The median household income was $43,846. The broader Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area is the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the United States with a population to 6.53 million people.

 

The Company anticipates drawing customers from people living in Paulsboro and the adjacent communities of Greenwich, Clarksboro, and West Deptford, New Jersey. Commuting workers are also anticipated to be customers.

 

Local students and coaches who frequently use the sports practice facility on the property are another group of potential customers. The practice facility is also home to the “The Monster Factory,” a professional wrestling training and wrestling match promotions organization. In business more than 30 years, the Monster Factory has become “the world’s most famous wrestling school” and has been featured in the Rolling Stone, NewsWeek, and Wall Street Journal. The Company believes that the attendees of Monster Factory wrestling events are potential customers for Your Hometown Deli.

 

Local competing delicatessen concept stores include Wally’s Grocery & Deli. Other dining and grocery options in the area include locally owned pizzerias, seafood, and fine dining restaurants. Fast food options in the vicinity include McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy’s. Grocery stores include Wawa, Dollar General, Heritage’s Dairy Stores and Fair Deal Food Market.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company relies heavily on word of mouth for its marketing. The Company’s founders have close ties to the community in which the first store is located and believe that these relationships will help the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. We use Facebook to describe the quality, atmosphere, products, specials, customer opinions and general information about the Your Hometown Deli’s operation. All sales and marketing messages will attempt to describe the unique character of the Your Hometown Deli and its family-oriented style and old-world feel.

 

Seasonality

 

We do not have a seasonal business cycle. However, we may offer seasonal food items or adjust our menu items depending on the seasons.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Our business currently does not implicate any environmental regulation.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We do not hold any patents, trademarks or other registered intellectual property on products relating to our business except that we have a Facebook page.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

The Company’s principal executive office and mailing address is 25 E. Grant Street, Woodstown, NJ 08098.

 

On July 1, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year non-cancelable operating lease with Mantua Creek Group, LLC (“Mantua”), a related party, for the store space at 541A Mantua Ave, Paulsboro, NJ 08066 for a monthly rate of $500. The lease was extended on August 12, 2019 for an additional two-year term. Management believes that this space is adequate for its current needs.

  

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of ours, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements.

 

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

Overview

 

Incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada, Hometown International, Inc. is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company (“Your Hometown Deli”), we operate a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first and only store is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

 

On April 14, 2020, we consummated a private offer and sale of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash proceeds to us of $2,500,000. The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and for general corporate purposes.

 

 

On April 15, 2020, we issued to each shareholder of record on said date: (i) five Class A Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Class A Warrants”), (ii) five Class B Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Class B Warrants”), (iii) five Class C Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Class C Warrants”), and (iv) five Class D Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Class D Warrants”), with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company issued an aggregate of 155,940,080 Warrants. No warrants have been exercised to date.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $29,834, has an accumulated deficit of $891,611, and has a net loss of $84,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

16

 

 

We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued on March 23, 2020 by the governor of New Jersey. Even once the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we a may have a slowdown in customer visits due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. We expect our growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 once we resume our delicatessen operations.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

 

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in our consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

We generated revenue of $3,577 and $4,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributed to decline in customer visits and a temporary closure of our delicatessen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our operating expenses were $80,939 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $40,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Increase in cost and expense was mostly attributable to increases in professional and general and administrative fees. Increase in professional fees was mostly attributable to legal fees and expenses relating to the shareholder repurchases, debt conversion, issuances of the Warrants and the Private Placement. Increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to fees required in connection with filings with the SEC. These increases were slightly offset by the slight decrease in delicatessen direct expenses such as food, beverage, supplies and other direct operating and occupancy costs.

 

We incurred net loss from operations of $77,362 and $36,205 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in net loss from operations is mainly attributed to the increase in total costs and expenses and a decrease in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period ended March 31, 2019.

 

Due to the described factors above, we had a net loss of $84,691 and $42,443 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2020, we had total assets of $21,964, consisting of $10,198 in cash, $7,021 in net operating lease asset, $4,227 in leasehold improvements and $518 in inventory. Our liabilities as of March 31, 2020 were $508,915, which comprised of $330,104 in notes payable due to related parties, $113,787 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $58,003 due to officers and $7,021 in operating lease liability. As of March 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $496,725.

 

The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   For the three

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities  $34,650   $12,997 
Net Increase (decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents  $4,816   $(146)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operations of $29,834 was the result of a net loss of $84,691, offset by in kind contribution of services by $7,714, depreciation expense of $1,811, a decrease in inventory of $526 and an increase in accounts payable of $44,806. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operations of $13,143 was the result of a net loss of $42,443, offset by in kind contribution of services by $7,714, depreciation expense of $1,804 , a decrease in inventory of $304, and an increase in accounts payable of $19,478.

  

Net cash used in our investing activities were $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $34,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is represented by $4,986 proceeds from officers, $2,000 of repayment of note payable-related party, $70,000 proceeds from note payable-related party and $38,336 of repurchase of common stock. Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $12,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which is represented by $997 proceeds from officers, and $12,000 proceeds from note payable – related party.

On March 23, 2020, we have temporarily closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. We plan to reopen the delicatessen once the order is lifted. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even once the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we a may have a slowdown in customer’s visits due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. We expect our growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 once we resume our delicatessen operations.

 

We are dependent on the revenues from our delicatessen operations and receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations. On April 14, 2020, we consummated a private offer and sale of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash proceeds to us of $2,500,000. The Company plans to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and to fund general corporate purposes. On April 24, 2020, the Company fully repaid the notes payable from related party totaling $285,126 along with its accrued interest. We may not have any available working capital to fund our delicatessen and ongoing operations and to pay our obligations. There will be no assurances that the new business plan will be successful and able to generate sufficient revenues to fund the operations. If we continue to generate insufficient revenues to fund the operations, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

If the Selling Shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The Selling Shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any Selling Shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, including SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

  

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Hometown International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hometown International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss, a working capital deficit, and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The consolidated 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 Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls 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 regarding 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

  NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Organization

 

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. The Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept (“Your Hometown Deli”). The Company intends that its delicatessens will feature “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual friendly atmosphere. Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community gathering places for guests of all ages.

 

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Hometown International, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a merger of entities under common control and has been treated as a recapitalization of Hometown International, Inc. with Your Hometown Deli, LLC, as the accounting acquirer). The historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the registrant. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 5,000,000 shares issued to the shareholder of Your Hometown Deli, LLC, in conjunction with the share exchange transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which is the year end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying December 31, 2019 and 2018, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hometown International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has no common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

(F) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 21% and state 9%) as follows:

 

   December 31,
2019
  December 31,
2018
       
Expected tax expense (benefit) - Federal  $(28,539)  $(20,800)
Expected tax expense (benefit) - State   (13,441)   (9,796)
Non-deductible expenses   8,674    8,674 
Change in valuation allowance   33,306    21,922 
Actual tax expense (benefit)  $-   $- 

 

The net deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

 

Gross deferred tax assets:

 

Net operating loss carryforwards  $176,554   $143,248 
Total deferred tax assets   (176,554)   (143,248)
Less: valuation allowance   176,554    143,248 
Net deferred tax asset recorded  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $628,084 and $509,598 available to offset future taxable income through December 31, 2039. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize approximately $121,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2037 and approximately $55,000 of net operating loss carryforwards that have no expiration date.

 

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $33,306 and $21,922, respectively.

 

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2016-2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

(G) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment is put into service.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

F-9

 

 

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in Note 7.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective August 12, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before August 12, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $10,426 and lease liabilities of $10,426.

 

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the August 12, 2019 adoption date. This rate was determined to be 10% and the Company determined the initial present value, at inception, of $10,426.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

NOTE 9 GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $156,671, has an accumulated deficit of $806,920, and has a net loss of $149,341 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The current Coronavirus Pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A)Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.

 

It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. The Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept (“Your Hometown Deli”). The Company intends that its delicatessens will feature “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual friendly atmosphere. Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community gathering places for guests of all ages.

 

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Hometown International, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a merger of entities under common control and has been treated as a recapitalization of Hometown International, Inc. with Your Hometown Deli, LLC, as the accounting acquirer). The historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the registrant. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 5,000,000 shares issued to the shareholder of Your Hometown Deli, LLC, in conjunction with the share exchange transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which is the year end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying March 31, 2020 and 2019, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hometown International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has no common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2020

(UNAUDITED) 

 

(F) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

(G) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment is put into service.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

F-30

 

 

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

(K) Business Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

(L) Inventories

 

Inventories consist of food and beverages, and are stated at cost. 

 

NOTE 2 LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Leasehold improvement and equipment consist of the following at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2020   2019 
Leasehold Improvements   33,455    33,455 
Equipment   3,120    3,120 
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment   36,575    36,575 
Less: Accumulated Depreciation   (32,348)   (30,537)
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment, Net  $4,227   $6,038 

  

Depreciation expense was $1,811 and $1,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On March 23, 2020, we have temporarily closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. We plan to reopen the delicatessen once the order is lifted. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even once the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we a may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. We expect our growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 once we resume our delicatessen operations.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

  

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his/her position, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he/she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him/her against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

 

Over the past three years, we have issued and sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act:

 

On April 14, 2020, the Company consummated private offers and sales of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to three accredited investors for gross cash proceeds of $2,500,000.

 

On March 18, 2020, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Europa Capital Investments, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, in exchange for $100,000 of the principal amount of debt owed by the Company to the lender.

 

The offers, sales, and issuances of the securities described above were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, including Regulation D promulgated thereunder, regarding transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All purchasers of securities in the above transactions represented that they were accredited investors and were acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof and that they could bear the risks of the investment and could hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. The purchasers received written disclosures that the securities had not been registered under the Securities Act and that any resale must be made pursuant to a registration statement or an available exemption from the registration under the Securities Act. All certificates representing the securities in the transactions described in this Item 15 included appropriate legends setting forth that the securities had not been offered or sold pursuant to a registration statement and describing the applicable restrictions on transfer of the securities

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

 

(a) Exhibits.

 

See the Exhibit Index attached to this registration statement, which is incorporated by reference herein. 

 

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

 

All other schedules for which provision is made in the applicable accounting regulations of the SEC are not required under the related instructions, or are inapplicable, and therefore have been omitted.

  

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(A) (1) To file, during any period in which offers, or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(B) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
