Explanatory Note
The Company is relying on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission March 25, 2020 Order Pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act (Release No. 34-88465 (Order) in delaying the filing of this Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, COVID-19 has caused limited access to the Companys facilities and disrupted normal interactions with its accounting personnel, auditors and others involved in the preparation of this Quarterly Report.
On May 15, 2020, we filed Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to indicate our intention to rely on the Order for the extension of the filing of this Quarterly Report. Consistent with our statements made in the Form 8-K filings, we were unable to file the Quarterly Report until the date hereof because of the disruptions in our normal interactions with our auditors caused by COVID-19, and the limited access to the Companys facilities resulting in limited support from our staff and other professional advisors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has a small accounting staff and historically we provided our auditors with full access to work papers and related information. Because the audit personnel were working remotely as much as possible as were our accounting personnel, this slowed everyones workflow and the Companys ability to complete its audit and file this Quarterly Report prior to its due date. Government-enforced shelter in place orders imposed mandatory and voluntary self-quarantine actions. Our headquarters and most of our management and financial, accounting and legal personnel, as well as certain of our professional advisors, were in areas impacted by these government orders. The disruptions in staffing, communications and access to personnel resulted in delays, limited support and insufficient time to complete our audit of our financial statements and internal control assessment and to complete our financial reporting process and prepare this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS
West Coast Ventures Group Corp. (our, us, we, WCVC or the Company) was originally incorporated as Energizer Tennis, Corp. on June 16, 2011 in the State of Nevada. On October 4, 2017, effective for accounting purposes on June 30, 2017, WCVC entered into an agreement to acquire Nixon Restaurant Group, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Nixon Restaurant Group, Inc. (NRG) was formed on October 12, 2015, under the laws of the State of Florida. On October 19, 2015, NRG issued 20 million shares of common stock to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in J&F Restaurants, LLC, Illegal Burger, LLC and Illegal Burger Writer Square LLC, Colorado Limited Liability Companies, under common ownership. The transaction was accounted for as a corporate reorganization between entities under common control.
The Company operates 6 restaurants in the Denver, Colorado metro area and 1 restaurant in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida metro area. Kalaka Mexican Kitchen (f/k/a El Senor Sol) - Evergreen is a Mexican restaurant which was opened in 2011. The Company opened the first Illegal Burger restaurant in August 2013. It is co-located with the El Senor Sol restaurant. The second Illegal Burger was opened in Arvada in April 2014. The third Illegal Burger is located in Writer Square in downtown Denver and opened in January 2016. The fourth Illegal Burger is located in the Capital Hill area of Denver and opened in June 2016.The fifth Illegal Burger is located in Glendale area of Denver and opened in October 2018. The first of the Companys newest concept - Illegal Pizza - opened in Lauderhill, Florida in June 2019. The Company plans to continue opening Illegal Burger and Illegal Pizza restaurants, a quick casual high end restaurant with full liquor licenses. The Company expects to locate in other areas of the country over time.
The Company completed its Illegal Burger Franchise Offering documents in May 2019. Illegal Burger Franchising has retained a marketing group to assist with the start-up of its offering of franchises and to pre-qualify potential franchisees. The Company hopes to have its first franchise sales in the third quarter 2020.
The Company began its operations of Illegal Brands in June 2019, offering its own branded CBD infused water and CBD powder packets, first through its restaurant locations. Illegal Brands expects to offer these products to third parties on a wholesale basis.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the activities of West Coast Ventures Group Corp., Nixon Restaurant Group, Inc., J&F Restaurant, LLC (Kalaka and Illegal Burger Evergreen), Illegal Burger, LLC (Arvada), Illegal Burger Writer Square, LLC, Illegal Burger Capital Hill, LLC, Illegal Burger CitiSet, LLC, Illegal Pizza, LLC, Illegal Brands, LLC, Illegal Burger Franchising, LLC and Illegal Brands IP, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiaries.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of Presentation
The comparative amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements are the historical results of West Coast Ventures Group, Corp. inclusive of its wholly owned subsidiaries Nixon Restaurant Group, Inc.; J&F Restaurant, LLC; Illegal Burger, LLC; Illegal Burger Writer Square, LLC; Illegal Burger Capital Hill, LLC, Illegal Burger CitiSet, LLC, Illegal Pizza Lauderhill, LLC, Illegal Brands, LLC, Illegal Burger Franchising, LLC and Illegal Brands IP, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America ("U.S.") as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

WEST COAST VENTURES GROUP CORP.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements involved the valuation of share-based compensation and derivatives.
c) Property and Equipment
All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally three, five or seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
d) Pre-opening Expenses
The Company accumulates the non-capitalizable expenses, such as rent, staffing and training, prior to opening a new location and reports them on a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations such that these costs do not skew results from ongoing restaurant operations. Beginning in the month in which a new location opens all ongoing expenses are then included with ongoing restaurant operations.
e) Operating Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which superseded the lease accounting requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases (Topic 840). Please refer to Recent Accounting Pronouncements below for additional information on the adoption of Topic 842 and the impact upon adoption to the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Under Topic 842, we applied a dual approach to all leases whereby we are a lessee and classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the Company. Lease classification is evaluated at the inception of the lease agreement. Regardless of classification, we record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Our leases, for the premises we occupy for the Illegal Burger Arvada, Illegal Burger Writer Square, Illegal Burger Capital Hill, Illegal Burger CitiSet, Illegal Pizza Lauderhill and the corporate office were classified as operating leases. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
We identify leases in our contracts if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We do not allocate lease consideration between lease and non-lease components and record a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining fixed consideration under the lease. Any interest rate implicit in our leases are generally not readily determinable. Accordingly, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value discount of the lease liability. We estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on an evaluation of our expected credit rating and the prevailing market rates for collateralized debt in a similar economic environment with similar payment terms and maturity dates commensurate with the term of the lease. The right-of-use asset for each lease is equal to the lease liability, adjusted for unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives. We exclude options to extend or terminate leases from the calculation of the lease liability unless it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
f) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution.
g) Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
The tax years 2018, 2017 and 2016 for the Company remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.
h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no financial instruments that qualified as cash equivalents.
i) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 825-10 Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.
ASC 825 also requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying value of the Companys current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
F-8
WEST COAST VENTURES GROUP CORP.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
i) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements, continued
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
j) Derivatives
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, payment or exercise of a convertible note containing an embedded derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and the debt and derivative are removed from the balance sheet, The shares issued upon conversion of the note are recorded at their fair value and any gain or loss on extinguishment is recognized in earnings.
Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
A long-lived asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows resulting from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived assets exceeds its fair value.
l) Related Party Transactions
All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount.
m) Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification, (ASC), 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer on January 1, 2018. This revenue recognition standard has a five step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The Companys principal operations are the operation of quick casual restaurants wherein the customer pays for their food upon placing the order. The Illegal Brands operations are the sale of CBD infused water and CBD soluble packets which at present are only sold in the Companys restaurants. The franchise operations have yet to sell a franchise, but upon such sales will follow the appropriate revenue recognition procedures.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
m) Revenue Recognition, continued
The Companys financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered (product delivered), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs only when the product(s) is ordered and subsequently delivered.
n) Inventories
Inventories consist of food, beverages, and supplies valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
o) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight line method over the remaining life of the asset, generally the remaining life of the location lease, generally three, five, seven or ten years.
(3) LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.8 million and a negative working capital of approximately $5.3 million at March 31, 2020, inclusive of current indebtedness. We also are in default on certain outstanding indebtedness. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Failure to successfully continue to grow restaurant operation revenues could harm our profitability and materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business, including the need for significant additional capital, managements potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs, and potential delays and other problems in connection with establishing and opening restaurant operations.
We are continuing our plan to further grow and expand restaurant operations and seek sources of capital to pay our contractual obligations as they come due. Management believes that its current operating strategy will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern as long as we are able to obtain additional financing; however, there is no assurance this will occur. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors report on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

(9) NOTES PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES, continued
e) Third Party Note Payable with Subsidiary, continued
to $84,534. The lender remitted $42,379 of this amount to the Company. Of the $42,155 retained by the lender, $14,861 was applied as principal reduction, $7,088 was applied to interest expense and the remaining $20,206 was charged as fees. The Senior Secured Note also called for the payment of a $75,000 investment banking fee.
In May 2015, when it was determined that this repayment structure was not practical for a restaurant operation, the lender agreed to restructure the Revolving Note into a Replacement Promissory Note. This Replacement Promissory Note carries interest at a stated rate of 18% with a maturity of June 1, 2016. The lender charged the Company a $25,000 penalty to convert the Revolving Note into a Replacement Promissory Note. The Replacement Promissory Note called for interest only payments in June, July and August 2015. Starting in September the terms called for the payment of interest, principal starting at $33,649 increasing monthly to $38,474 in June 2016, as the interest on the then outstanding balance fell. In addition the Replacement Promissory Note called for the payment of a $106,000 Redemption Premium as part of the total monthly payment of $49,651. As a direct result of delays in opening the new Writer Square location, the lender agreed to interest only payments via ACH draft every Monday. In June 2015, the Company paid $1,080 per week, which was increased to $1,200 per week for July 1 through October 15, 2015. It was then increased to $1,500 per week from October 16, 2015 through the third week of March 2016, when it was increased to $2,000 per week.
At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the principal balance of the loan was $322,220. The Company also accrued the $25,000 conversion penalty, the $75,000 investment banking fee and the $106,000 redemption premiums as accrued interest because the Replacement Promissory Note allows for prepayment but all these fees are due upon prepayment. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of this note, including fees and accrued interest was $729,946 and $714,996, respectively. In October 2018, the lender filed a claim demanding repayment of all amounts outstanding in the total amount of $565,267 plus asserted costs. (See Note 16a)

We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.
c) Discount Rate Applied to Property Operating Lease
To determine the present value of the minimum future lease payments for operating leases at January 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount

b) Other
The Company is subject to asserted claims and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate potential losses from these actions.

c) Litigation
On October 8, 2018, the creditor holding the First Amended Senior Secured Note from Illegal Burger, LLC filed suit in Broward County, Florida. The creditor is demanding $565,267, including interest and fees plus attorneys fees and costs. The Company expects to either negotiate a settlement agreement or to vigorously defend this action.
(15) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
a) Cash
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which may, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had no cash balance in excess of FDIC insured limits at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
(16) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a) Litigation and threatened litigation
The two related party holders of four fixed rate convertible notes and two of the SPAs for the purchase of common shares has threatened litigation relating to these securities, based on a claim that the Company does not have sufficient shares reserved for issuance under these notes and SPAs as required. The Company claims that these holders have defaulted under the SPA that required a $347,500 tranche to be invested in September 2019, and that the failure to provide these funds directly caused the circumstances causing the claimed shortfall in reserved shares.
In May 2020 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC), filed a civil action alleging fraud against the creditor in Note 14c above. The SEC also appointed a court supervised receiver of this creditor, who has stayed all current litigation involving this creditor. The Company expects to reach a settlement with this receiver when they lift the stay.
b) Deficiency in Stockholders Equity
In the second quarter 2020, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $10,000 to settle $6,000 of convertible debt.
c) COVID-19 pandemic
The short term impact of COVID-19 are the result of government directives, first from the City of Denver, CO, and subsequently from the States of Colorado and Florida requiring only pick-up and delivery orders of food and beverages. Under these directives we were required to close our dining areas in all our restaurants. This has caused a fall-off in business, which has been somewhat offset by an increase in pick-up and delivery orders. We have been able to keep our restaurants open for pick-up and delivery orders. This in turn has allowed us to continue to employ our staff at the restaurants. We intend to continue to pay our employees through this crisis in the hopes that once the crisis has passed and we will be allowed to return to more normal operations we can do so quickly by bringing our existing staff back in without having to train a large number of new staff. Our Denver area locations were allowed to resume 50% of dining facilities beginning on May 29.
The Company has had to develop and implement new policies and procedures for use in all of it restaurants to foster continued customer confidence when they purchase food from us during this crisis. The Company has had to develop and implement procedures for drive through pick up orders as none of our restaurants are equipped with drive through windows. We have expended considerable time and effort developing multiple means to get the information out to the buying public that all our restaurants are open for pick-up and delivery orders.

(15) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, continued
c) COVID-19 pandemic, continued
The Company temporarily closed our El Senor Sol - Evergreen, CO location because it was not receiving sufficient take out/delivery orders to remain open. The Company elected to re-brand this location during this time. The Company had been seeking to complete a re-branding in a way that would cause the least financial harm. The pandemic provided a perfect opportunity. The locations new brand is Kalaka Mexican Kitchen.
The State of Colorado required all restaurants to cease seating patrons and go to only pick up/delivery orders only beginning in mid-March 2020. This requirement caused a 6% drop in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2020 over the same period in 2019. This reduction in revenue is greater in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
d) US Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
In April 2020, the Company received a loan of $298,700 under the SBAs PPP. Depending upon the final determination of the requirements for forgiveness under this program, the Company expects its PPP loan to be substantially to wholly forgiven. Any amount not forgiven becomes a two year loan at 1% interest.
e) US Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
In May 2020, the Company, through one of its operating LLC subsidiaries, received a SBA EIDL in the amount of $21,900. In June 2020, the Company, through five of its operating LLC subsidiaries received five SBA EIDL in the total amount of $747,500 and EIDL Grants totaling $36,000. The EIDL are 30 year loans carrying a 3.25% interest rate with the first payment due in June 2021. The Grants do not get repaid.
f) Notes Payable to Third Parties
During the State imposed pandemic requirement to reduce operations, the lenders of the Future Receivable Sales Agreements agreed to lower the payments due to them. Also the party holding the remaining One Year Note and one of the Fixed Rate Convertible Notes agreed to a 90 day extension to the maturity and a subsequent 90 day extension upon payment of the initial one year interest in the amount of $40,000. Several holders of Variable Rate Convertible Notes have also agreed to 90 day extensions to the maturity of their notes. The Company has requested extensions on the balance of the Variable Rate Convertible Notes, but has not received a response from the lenders.

Overview of the Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our operations and financial results for the foreseeable future. In response to COVID-19, we temporarily closed some restaurants and closed the dining rooms in all our restaurants. All our restaurants provided only take out, digital order ahead and delivery services. Where and when permitted we have reopened some of our restaurants for dine-in meals, though at extremely limited capacity. We have been in regular contact with our major suppliers and while to date we have not experienced significant disruptions in our supply chain, we could see future disruptions should the impacts of COVID-19 extend for a considerable amount of time. To support our employees, we have eliminated non-essential travel, implemented work from home where possible, increased sanitization of high touch, high traffic areas in our restaurants, provided personal protective equipment for our restaurant employees and increased the frequency of personal hygiene practices.
The analysis that follows provides more specific details about how the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted specific financial statement items.
Sales Trends. Restaurant sales for the month of March 2020 were adversely impacted by COVID-19, resulting in a decrease of 11.52% when compared to the month of March, 2019.
Restaurant Operating Costs. The sudden change to our business due to COVID-19 in March resulted in a short term, outsized impact to labor and food costs. Labor costs were elevated as we accommodated crew needs, shifted hours to support our growing pick up/delivery business. Similarly, our food costs were elevated as we worked to right size food purchases to align with the new sales level. We also stocked our restaurant with additional cleaning and sanitation supplies, gloves, hand sanitizers, and masks for contactless mobile pickup and delivery orders.
Restaurant Development. As of March 31, 2020, we have preemptively delayed all plans for expansion and opening new restaurants.
Food, Beverage and Packaging Costs. COVID-19 increased food, beverage and packaging costs as a percentage of revenue for the month ended March 31, 2020, as we worked to right size food purchases to align with the new sales level.
Labor Costs. Labor costs increased as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to wage inflation, which includes minimum wage increases, fair work week legislation, and temporary assistance pay for our crew working during COVID-19, as well as normal wage growth.
Lease Costs. COVID-19 had an immaterial impact on occupancy costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We are in discussions with our landlords about rent deferrals and abatements. However, we cannot predict the results of those discussions and the impact on our future lease costs.
Other Operating Costs. As a result of COVID-19, we are adapting our restaurant operations to the changing environment and are reducing non-essential controllable costs. After we temporarily closed our dining rooms to help control the spread of COVID-19, we reprioritized marketing efforts by focusing on delivery and take-out.
6
General and Administrative Expenses. COVID-19 had an immaterial impact on general and administrative expenses costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the quarter we halted all non-essential travel and expenses and will continue to assess additional planned general and administrative investments as we better understand the length and severity of the impact of COVID-19.
Through March 31, 2020 we have not had any of our employees contract the COVID-19 virus. Should we have a significant number of our employees contract the COVID-19 virus it could have a negative impact on our ability to serve customers in a timely fashion.
CARES Act
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was enacted on March 27, 2020. There are several different provisions with the CARES Act that impact income taxes for corporations. While we continue to evaluate the tax implications, we believe these provisions will not have a material impact to the financial statements.
Additionally, the Company has applied for, and in April, 2020 received, funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (the PPP Loan) after the period covered in these financial statements in the amount of $298,700. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on our having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.
The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note issued in connection with the PPP Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP Loan is being used to retain our employees, as well as for other permitted uses under the terms and conditions of the PPP Loan.
In May 2020, the Company, through one of its operating LLC subsidiaries, received a SBA EIDL in the amount of $21,900. In June 2020, the Company, through five of its operating LLC subsidiaries received five SBA EIDL in the total amount of $747,500 and EIDL Grants totaling $36,000. The EIDL are 30 year loans carrying a 3.25% interest rate with the first payment due in June 2021. The Grants do not get repaid.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue generated was $789,444, as compared to $839,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The year over year decrease of approximately 6.0% was mainly attributable to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the States of Colorado and Florida mandates to close all restaurants except for pick up/delivery orders.
Cost of Sales
Restaurant direct cost of sales increased to $732,618 from $705,729, or 3.8%. This increase was primarily due to the opening our newest location in Lauderhill, Florida in June 2019. Our ongoing restaurant cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 92.8% and 85.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This percentage increase is a direct result of two inter-related factors. First, was the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the States of Colorado and Florida mandate to close all restaurants except for pick up/delivery orders and second was the ongoing fixed costs of all our locations.
Gross Profit
Our restaurant operations gross profit was $56,826 and $133,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our restaurant gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 7.2% and 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Our ongoing restaurant gross profit, as a percentage of gross sales was higher in 2019 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the States of Colorado and Florida mandates to close all restaurants except for pick up/delivery orders and the ongoing fixed costs of all our locations.
Our ongoing restaurant gross profit, as a percentage of gross sales was lower in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic

and the States of Colorado and Florida mandates to close all restaurants except for pick up/delivery orders and the ongoing fixed costs of all our locations.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $240,073 compared to $346,832 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Net Loss
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,101,432 compared to a net loss of $1,122,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This net income was specifically a result of a $1,917,936 gain from change in embedded derivative value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow Activities
Cash did not change from $0 at December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received proceeds of $97,036 from issuance of notes payable and $247,548 in stockholder advances and repaid $103,863 of third party notes payable.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received proceeds of $424,000 from issuance of convertible notes and $200,000 in advances and repaid $100,181 of convertible debt, $46,378 of third party debt and $82,246 of our stockholder loan.
US Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
In April 2020, the Company received a loan of $298,700 under the SBAs PPP. Depending upon the final determination of the requirements for forgiveness under this program, the Company expects its PPP loan to be substantially to wholly forgiven. Any amount not forgiven becomes a two year loan at 1% interest.
US Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
In May 2020, the Company, through one of its operating LLC subsidiaries, received a SBA EIDL in the amount of $21,900. In June 2020, the Company, through five of its operating LLC subsidiaries received five SBA EIDL in the total amount of $747,500 and EIDL Grants totaling $36,000. The EIDL are 30 year loans carrying a 3.25% interest rate with the first payment due in June 2021. The Grants do not get repaid.
Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. We also continue to monitor the effects COVID-19 could have on our operations and liquidity due to the economic impacts COVID-19 could have on the general economy. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, payables, accrued expenses and notes payable. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. We consider the carrying values of our financial instruments in the condensed consolidated financial statements to approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, usually three to seven years.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset were less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. We do not believe that there has been any impairment to long-lived assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Operating Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases (Topic 840). Under Topic 842, we applied a dual approach to all leases whereby we are a lessee and classifies leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the Company. Lease classification is evaluated at the inception of the lease agreement. Regardless of classification, we record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Our leases, for the premises we occupy for the Illegal Burger Arvada, Illegal Burger Writer Square, Illegal Burger Capital Hill and Illegal Burger CitiSet were classified as operating leases as of March 31, 2019. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements in Note 3 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
COVID-19 pandemic
The short term impact of COVID-19 are the result of government directives, first from the City of Denver, CO, and subsequently from the States of Colorado and Florida requiring only pick-up and delivery orders of food and beverages. Under these directives we were required to close our dining areas in all our restaurants. This has caused a fall-off in business, which has been somewhat offset by an increase in pick-up and delivery orders. We have been able to keep our restaurants open for pick-up and delivery orders. This in turn has allowed us to continue to employ our staff at the restaurants. We intend to continue to pay our employees through this crisis in the hopes that once the crisis has passed and we will be allowed to return to more normal operations we can do so quickly by bringing our existing staff back in without having to train a large number of new staff. Our Denver area locations were allowed to resume 50% of dining facilities beginning on May 29.
The Company has had to develop and implement new policies and procedures for use in all of it restaurants to foster continued customer confidence when they purchase food from us during this crisis. The Company has had to develop and implement procedures for drive through pick up orders as none of our restaurants are equipped with drive through windows. We have expended considerable time and effort developing multiple means to get the information out to the buying public that all our restaurants are open for pick-up and delivery orders.
9
The Company temporarily closed our El Senor Sol - Evergreen, CO location because it was not receiving sufficient take out/delivery orders to remain open. The Company elected to re-brand this location during this time. The Company had been seeking to complete a re-branding in a way that would cause the least financial harm. The pandemic provided a perfect opportunity. The locations new brand is Kalaka Mexican Kitchen.
The States of Colorado and Florida required all restaurants to cease seating patrons and go to only pick up/delivery orders only beginning in mid-March 2020. This requirement caused a 6% drop in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2020 over the same period in 2019. This reduction in revenue is greater in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The future impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and we cannot provide any assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on our operations or future results. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain the coronavirus.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our President and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the following reasons: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the operation of our business in the normal course of business. Other than as described below, as of the date of this Annual Report we are not aware of potential dispute or pending litigation and are not currently involved in a litigation proceeding or governmental actions the outcome of which in managements opinion would be material to our financial condition or results of operations. An adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
On October 8, 2018, the creditor holding the First Amended Senior Secured Note from Illegal Burger, LLC filed suit in Broward County, Florida. The Company expects to either negotiate a settlement agreement or to vigorously defend this action. In May 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC), filed a civil action alleging fraud against the creditor in Note 13c above. The SEC also appointed a court supervised receiver of this creditor, who has stayed all current litigation involving this creditor. The Company expects to reach a settlement with this receiver when they lift the stay.
The two related party holders of four fixed rate convertible notes and two of the SPAs for the purchase of common shares has threatened litigation relating to these securities, based on a claim that the Company does not have sufficient shares reserved for issuance under these notes and SPAs as required. The Company claims that these holders have defaulted under the SPA that required a $347,500 tranche to be invested in September 2019, and that the failure to provide these funds directly caused the circumstances causing the claimed shortfall in reserved shares.
