COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations. If our restaurants are required to be closed or only allowed to operate at less than full capacity, we will continue to incur certain fixed expenses such as rent payments currently of approximately $10,000 per month.
All of the Company’s four corporate-owned restaurants which are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Bari, Italy, and within the Wyndham Palm Aire and the Wyndham Sea Gardens Hotels and Resorts in Pompano Beach, Florida, have all fully re-opened subject to recommended social distancing guidelines. The Company’s hotel locations were closed longer than other sites due to CDC recommendations. The Company’s flagship Fort Lauderdale restaurant re-opened on May 1, 2020, its Bari, Italy location re-opened on June 20, 2020, The Wyndham Palm Aire location re-opened on July 11, 2020 and the Wyndham Sea Gardens location re-opened on July 22, 2020.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019, and 2018, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 18, 2020, and May 29, 2020, respectively.
| 10 |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses from Italy 9th LLC, Kisses from Italy-Franchising LLC, and Kisses from Italy Bari, Italy and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.
Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements of equity and convertible debt as interim measures to finance working capital needs and may continue its efforts to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or other securities and obtain short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to do so until its consolidated operations become profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice where feasible.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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. The most significant estimates relate to impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represents food and beverage product sold and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals, and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, the consolidated financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606.

Inventory
The inventory is comprised of alcoholic beverages at the Company’s new Bari location in Italy which opened in 2019. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. The balance of inventory at September 30, 2020 and 2018 was $2,076 and $1,987, respectively.
Value Added Tax
The Value Added Tax (“VAT”) is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. VAT applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had a VAT net receivable of $4,642 and $4,442, respectively, which was classified as “Other Receivables” on its balance sheet.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary is consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.
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. On September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $99,838 and $26,841, respectively.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
| Computers, software, and office equipment | 1 – 6 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | 3 – 5 years | |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, 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 FASB ASC 740, 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. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
| 12 |
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions every quarter to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance outlined in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This Section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, stock-based compensation was $2,738,420 and $-0-, respectively.
Leases
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 840 “Leases,” which requires the Company to evaluate the lease agreements the Company enters into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard.
In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which superseded ASU 2019-02 and deferred the effective date for the implementation of lease standards per Topic 842. As an emerging growth company, the Company has until the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, to adopt ASC 842. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new standard, the Company expects the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $99,838 and $26,841 in cash on hand, respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company generated revenues of $454,998 and $371,835 and had losses of $3,358,312 and $487,404, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $78,843 and a stockholders deficiency of $78,078. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a multi-unit development agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted development rights to open and operate up to 100 Kisses From Italy Italian restaurants in Canada using the Company’s proprietary recipes, formulae, techniques, trade dress, trademarks and logos (each a “Restaurant”) at locations approved by the Company. Under the terms of the Agreement The Company received a non-refundable fee of $291,585 USD (400,000 CAD) in connection with a multi-unit development agreement entered into in June 2020. Management believes that with the receipt of these funds, the Company can continue operations for the next 12 months.
The reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, include an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These 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.
It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Florida on March 7, 2013, with a focus on developing a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business. We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May 2015. By April 2016, we opened three additional restaurants located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the area which resulted in Wyndham halting operations at its hotel properties for repairs and renovations and the closure of our Wyndham hotel locations. The Hurricane also impacted travel to Florida during this time. While our Fort Lauderdale location was reopened in early November 2017, we were only able to reopen two of the hotel locations in Pompano Beach in late January 2018. We also elected not to reopen our fourth location, as the damages were too excessive. If we can raise additional capital, of which there is no assurance, we intend to own and operate up to 10 restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations.
In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License which permits us to sell franchises in all of the United States, except New York, Virginia, and Maryland which licenses we hope to obtain if sufficient demand exists in the future. In September 2017, we completed the purchase of two franchise locations in Florida. We currently anticipate the commencement of the building and development of these locations by mid-2021.
On October 24, 2019, we opened our first restaurant in Italy, at Strada Provinciale 70 #100, Via Vittorio Veneto 100 Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italia which we intend to also use as a training facility for franchises in Europe.
Management recently began scouting various locations in regions of Italy and believes that the regions of Rome and Puglia may offer opportunities for additional corporate-owned and franchise expansion. However, there are no agreements in place as of the date of this Report to open any new facilities, either Company-owned or franchises, and no assurances can be provided that we will expand our operations accordingly.
In September 2019, the Company's common stock was approved for trading by FINRA and in mid-October 2019 was approved for up-listing by the OTC Markets Group to the OTCQB under the symbol “KITL”.
The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019.
In January of 2020, the Company completed its first franchise agreement for a restaurant in the State of California. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening of this restaurant has been delayed and is currently expected to begin operating in December 2020.
| 18 |
Recent Developments
On June 18, 2020, Kisses From Italy Franchising LLC entered into a multi-unit development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted development rights to Demasar Management Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Developer”) to open and operate up to 100 Kisses From Italy Italian restaurants in Canada. Under the Agreement, Developer is obligated to open a minimum of 20 restaurants by June 17, 2025.
In consideration of the development rights, the Development Agreement provides for a franchise fee of $4,000 Canadian dollars (“CAD”) for each restaurant. Upon execution of the Development Agreement, the Developer paid $400,000 CAD to the Company, and the Company issued Denis Senecal, a director of the Developer, 9,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Developer will have a right of first refusal to obtain the development rights to additional restaurants in Canada if it is in compliance with the Development Agreement and has opened the minimum 20 restaurants. If the Developer receives a bona fide offer from an unaffiliated third party to purchase the Developer’s rights under the Development Agreement, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC will have the option, exercisable for 30 days to purchase such business, If Kisses From Italy Franchising LLC does not exercise such option, the Developer may sell its rights to said third party for a $5,000 transfer fee.
The Agreement contains certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
The Company and Developer will share profits for all locations developed and agreed to an allocation of franchise royalties.
On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year distribution-financing-lead generation agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Denis Senecal pursuant to which he will provide business development, financial advisory and franchise lead generation services to the Company in consideration for the issuance of 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such common stock has “piggyback” registration rights for one year from the date of issuance for one registration statement. The Advisory Agreement will automatically be renewed for an additional five-year term unless either party notifies the other within 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial term that it desires not to renew the Agreement.
Covid-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Many states and countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the full impact of the pandemic continues to evolve, is highly uncertain, and is subject to change. Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Company is not currently able to estimate the full effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or on our operations and financial condition.
As a result of Covid-19, our two restaurants located in Florida in the Wyndham hotels closed on March 17, 2020 and re-opened on July 11, 2020 and July 22, 2020 for the Wyndham Palm Aire and the Wyndham Sea Gardens, respectively. Our Fort Lauderdale location closed on April 1, 2020 and re-opened on May 1, 2020. The only restrictions currently imposed on our business are recommended social distancing guidelines along with the requirements that our employees wear masks. Our restaurant in Bari, Italy closed on March 1, 2020, and re-opened on July 1, 2020 and. may be subject to future closure due to Covid-19. As a result of these closures, revenue from our restaurants were severely impacted during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
| 19 |
Going forward there can be no assurance that our restaurants will be allowed to remain open or if open, at full capacity, or that we can achieve historic sales levels in the near future.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019
Revenue and Cost of Sales
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our revenues from food sales at our restaurants were $44,331 compared to $93,834 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $49,503. We believe the decrease in revenue is attributable to the Covid-19 mandated capacity restrictions of all of our locations, as well as the general public reluctance to dine out due to the threat of contracting Covid 19.
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $29,164 compared to $39,659 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease in cost of sales is attributable to lower sales volumes.
Operating expenses
Operating expense increased to $941,550 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $180,887 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to $720,000 in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to no stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The stock-based compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised primarily of $720,000 in stock-based compensation to Company officers. Excluding $720,000 in stock-based compensation to officers and $50,000 in legal fees paid for with common stock,, operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $170,854 compared to $180,887 in the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is attributable to payroll expense reductions due to fewer personnel required at Company locations due to the impact of Covid-19 on sales levels, offset by increases in rent, legal fees and general and administrative expenses.
Other income and expense
Other expense was $34,943 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $88,988 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in other expenses is attributable to the Company’s financing from convertible notes in the three months ended September 30, 2019 with higher beneficial conversion features, compared to lower beneficial conversion features as a result of the issuance of Series C preferred stock in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Both beneficial conversion features were charged to interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $960,630 and a net loss of $6,365 attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $215,700 and a $3,168 net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The significant increase in the net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2020 is attributable to a lower gross margin of $39,008 due to reduced sales levels, an increase in operating expenses of $759,967, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of $54,045.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019
Revenue and Cost of Sales
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our revenues from food sales at our restaurants were $163,413 compared to $371,835 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $208,422. We believe the decrease in revenue is attributable to the Covid-19 mandated shutdowns for three months as well as capacity restrictions of all of our locations.
As discussed above in Recent Developments, we entered into a Development Agreement in which we received a fee of 400,000 CAD, or $291,585. This fee falls under the guidelines of ASC 606 which states that the entire amount of revenue can be recognized because we have no future performance obligations associated with the Agreement, and the fee is non-refundable. As a result, we recorded the entire amount as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Franchise sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $291,585 compared to no franchise sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $80,649 compared to $166,953 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is attributable to lower sales volumes due to the impact of Covid-19.
Operating expenses
Operating expense increased to $3,241,362 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $542,715 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to 2,788,301 in stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to no stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised primarily of $480,000 related to compensation under investor relations agreements, $1,425,000 related to the Advisory Agreement, $720,000 in stock-based compensation to executive officers and $50,000 for legal expenses. Excluding the stock-based compensation, operating expenses were $453,061 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $542,715 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $89,654. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in payroll expenses of $114,613 due to the impact of Covid-19 on sales levels.
Other income and expense
Other expense was $497,367 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $162,673 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The significant increase in other expenses is attributable to increased interest expense due to the issuance of Series C preferred stock with a beneficial conversion features of $106,300 that was charged to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net Loss
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $3,364,380 and a net loss of $6,068 attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $500,146 and a net loss of $12,742 attributable to non-controlling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The significant increase in the net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses of $2,698,647 an increase in interest expense of $334,694, offset by an increase of $169,107 in gross profit margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2020, we had $99,838 in cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was $69,079 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net cash used of $306,193 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to our receipt of $291,585 in franchise fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
There was no cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net cash of $6,757 used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, in which we purchased $6,757 worth of equipment for the Bari location in Italy.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $142,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $387,439 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to the sale of Series C preferred stock of $136,070 and the issuance of $12,171 in promissory notes, net of repayment in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to proceeds of $388,549 from the sale of convertible notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
We currently believe that due to the $400,000 CAD or approximately $291,000 USD we received in connection with the Development Agreement described above, we can continue operations for the next 12 months.
We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 to fully effectuate our business development plans, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and enhance the marketing of our franchise concept. Subject to the continued impact of Covid-19, we currently believe that we can open at least two additional restaurants for approximately $300,000. We may use some of the cash we received from the Development Agreement to open additional locations or for franchise marketing. We believe that continuing to open company-owned restaurants will assist us to market other locations.
There can be no assurances that additional financing, either through equity or debt, will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all. While we have had discussions with potential investors and investment bankers, we have no agreement with any third party to provide additional financing. Our inability to obtain additional financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations.
Covid-19 has also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which impacts our ability to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments for the recoverability and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements that may be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. Also, if the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to further reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. See notes to our financial statements, Note 2 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position, or cash flows.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020.
We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
| 23 |
Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting –. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
| ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
Except as set forth below, there were no sales of equity securities during the period covered by this Report that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously reported by the Company.
