NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Twenty-six Weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (“GIGL Inc.“ or the “Company“) was originally organized on September 17, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. GIGL Inc. was organized to sell teaching supplies and learning tools. On August 20, 2010, GIGL Inc. filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name to Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc.

 

On December 30, 2011, GIGL Inc. completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of GNH, Inc. (“GNH“), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of GNH by GIGL Inc. has been recorded as a reverse merger.

 

The Company adopted a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal year 2016 and 2015 consists of a year ending December 29, 2016 and December 27, 2015.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US Dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 27, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2015 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not included all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

Results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of annual results.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying 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. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $569,704, used cash in operations of $581,386, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,441,734 as of that date. In addition, the Company was behind in certain lease payments of one of its restaurant locations and was in default on a note payable of $683,316. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the December 27, 2015 financial statements has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $113,305 as of June 26, 2016. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through September 2016. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

At June 26, 2016, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH CC, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Mall in Century City, California, GNH Topanga, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, California, and Glendale Giggles N Hugs, Inc. for restaurant operations in Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Giggles N Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH CC, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc., and Glendale Giggles N Hugs, Inc. will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company“.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for inventory, and fixed assets, amounts of potential liabilities and valuation of issuance of equity securities issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37“) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying values of financing obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,“ which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management‘s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Property and equipment

 

The Company records all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements include the cost of the Company’s internal development and construction department. Depreciation periods are as follows:

 

Leasehold improvements   10 years
Restaurant fixtures and equipment   10 years
Computer software and equipment   3 to 5 years

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the year ended December 27, 2015, the Company took a loss on impairment of $353,414 relating to its Glendale store location For the period ended June 26, 2016, there are no further indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets.

 

Leases

 

The Company currently leases its restaurant locations. The Company evaluates the lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating or capital lease for financial reporting purposes. The Company had three leases up through June 26, 2016, which were classified as operating leases. Effective June 26, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for its Century City location (See Note 12) and now has two remaining leases.

 

Minimum base rent for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The initial rent term includes the build-out, or rent holiday period, for the Company’s leases, where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Deferred rent expense, which is based on a percentage of revenue, is also recorded to the extent it exceeds minimum base rent per the lease agreement.

 

The Company disburses cash for leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment to build out and equip its leased premises. The Company also expends cash for structural additions that it makes to leased premises of which $700,000, $506,271, and $475,000 were reimbursed to Century City, Topanga, and Glendale by its landlords, respectively, as construction contributions pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord construction contributions usually take the form of up-front cash. Depending on the specifics of the leased space and the lease agreement, amounts paid for structural components are recorded during the construction period as leasehold improvements or the landlord construction contributions are recorded as an incentive from lessor.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company‘s stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant, and is recognized as expense over the period, which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

Loss per common share

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS“) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For the period ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, the assumed conversion of convertible note payable and the exercise of stock warrants are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses and are excluded in determining diluted loss per share.

As a general principle, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred and services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

With respect to memberships, access to our play area extends throughout the term of membership. The vast majority of memberships sold are for one month terms. Revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the membership period. The company receives payment from its customers at the start of the subscription period and the company records deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the subscription period.

 

Revenues from restaurant sales are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Revenues are presented net of sales taxes. The sales tax obligation is included in other accrued expenses until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.

 

We recognize a liability upon the sale of our gift cards and recognize revenue when these gift cards are redeemed in our restaurants. As of June 26, 2016 and December 27, 2015, the amount of gift cards sales was $931 and $4,448, respectively, and were recorded as deferred revenue.

 

For party rental agreements, we rely upon a signed contract between us and the customer as the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Party rental deposits are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt and recognized as revenue when the service has been rendered.

 

Additionally, revenues are recognized net of any discounts, returns, allowances and sales incentives, including coupon redemptions and complimentary meals.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates that this will add significant liabilities to the balance sheet.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company‘s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – FIXED ASSETS

 

Fixed assets consisted of the following at:

  

   June 26, 2016   December 27, 2015

Effective June 26, 2016, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Westfield Mall Associates to close the Century City Store resulting from a major reconstruction of the entire Mall. As such, the leasehold improvements with a cost basis of $958,538 and accumulated amortization of $533,377 were written off and included in the gain on the lease termination (see Note 12). In conjunction with the closing of the Century City store, the Company also sold for $10,500, all of its furniture, fixtures and office equipment with a cost basis, net of accumulated depreciation, of $4,529 resulting in a gain of $5,971

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 were $88,741 and $177,882, respectively, and for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015 were $93,753 and $184,371, respectively. Repair and maintenance expenses for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 were $22,833 and $51,826, respectively, and for thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015 were $24,242 and $47,667, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – INCENTIVE FROM LESSOR

 

The Company received $700,000 for Century City, $506,271 for Topanga and $475,000 for Glendale from the Company’s landlords as construction contributions pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements.

 

Landlord construction contributions usually take the form of up-front cash. Depending on the specifics of the leased space and the lease agreement, amounts paid for structural components are recorded during the construction period as leasehold improvements or the landlord construction contributions are recorded as an incentive from lessor. The incentive from lessor is amortized over the life of the lease which is 10 years and netted against occupancy cost.

 

Effective June 26, 2016, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the Westfield Mall Associates that released the Company from any further obligations. As such, our remaining unamortized tenant improvement allowance of $225,739, and deferred rent of $63,529 were written off an included in the gain on lease termination.

 

The balance of the incentive from lessor as of June 26, 2016 and December 27, 2015, were $847,174 and $1,198,098, and included deferred rent of $171,801 and $218,874, respectively. As of June 26, 2016, $76,105 of the incentive from lessor was current and $771,069 was long term. Amortization of the incentive from lessor was $33,479 and $61,653 for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 and $27,740 and $54,226 for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE, LESSOR –IN DEFAULT

 

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $700,000 Promissory Note Payable Agreement with GGP Limited Partnership (“Lender“) to be used by the Company for a portion of the construction work to be performed by the Company under the lease by and between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates, LLC. The Note Payable accrued interest at a rate of 10% through October 15, 2015, 12% through October 31, 2017, and 15% through October 31, 2023 and matures on October 31, 2023.

 

On March 1, 2015, the Company and the lender renegotiated the terms of the Promissory Note and agreed to a new note with a principal balance due of $683,316. As part of the new agreement, the Lender waived principal and interest payments for two years beginning March 1, 2015. Thereafter, principal and interest will be paid in equal monthly installments of $12,707, within increasing interest rates. As of June 26, 2016 and December 27, 2015, the principal balance due under the note was $683,316.

 

Due to the two-year interest free period, the Company recalculated the fair value of the note taking into account the payment stream and the incremental changes in the interest rate and determined the fair value of the new note on the date of modification to be $619,377, net of a discount of $63,939. The Company determined that the discount should be amortized over the two year period where no interest was due or payable. As such, the Company amortized $15,985 of the discount during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016. The unamortized discount at June 26, 2016 was $19,109, and the net balance due was $664,207.

 

The lender under the Note is GGP Limited Partnership (GGP). GGP is an affiliate of Glendale II Mall Associates, the lessor of the Company’s Glendale Mall restaurant location. In accordance with the note agreement, an event of default would occur if the Borrower defaults under the lease between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire balance of the Note payable and accrued interest would become due and payable, and the balance due becomes subject to a default interest rate (which is 5% higher than the defined interest rate). As of June 26, 2016, the Company was past due in its rental obligation and the Note is in default. As of June 26, 2016, the entire principal and accrued interest is due and payable and is classified as current liability.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

A summary of convertible debentures payable as of June 26, 2016 and December 27, 2015 is as follows:

  

   June 26, 2016   December 27, 2015 
Iconic Holdings, LLC  $161,250   $161,250 
J&N Invest LLC   50,000    50,000 
Accrued interest   8,797    - 
Total Convertible Notes   220,047    211,250 
Less: Discount   (61,104)   (139,471)
Net Covertible Notes  $158,943   $71,779 

 

Iconic Holdings, LLC - On December 21, 2015, Giggle N Hugs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant“), issued an 8% unsecured convertible promissory note in favor of Iconic Holdings, LLC, in the principal sum of $161,250. The note was subject to an original issue discount of $11,250, plus another $11,250 retained by the lender for fees and costs, resulting in net proceeds to the company of $138,500. The note carries a guaranteed 10% interest rate, matures on December 21, 2016 and is subject to pre-payment penalties. The note may be converted, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder into the Registrant’s common stock at a price per share equal to 65% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of the note. The conversion floor price was set at $0.08. The note also contains a make-good provision requiring the Registrant to make a payment to the holder in the event the Registrant’s trading price at the time the conversion notice is submitted is below $0.11. Any shares issued upon conversion of the note shall have piggyback registration rights and failure to do so could result in damages up to 30% of the principal sum of the note, but not less than $20,000. The note contains various default provisions including a requirement for the Company to maintain a prescribed closing bid price for a certain number of days, and a continued listing in a principal market.

 

The Company determined that the ability of the holder to convert the note to common shares at 65% of the market created a beneficial conversion feature upon issuance. The Company also considered if the conversion feature required liability accounting under current accounting guidelines but determined that the conversion of the shares were indexed to the Company’s stock, and that the floor of $0.08 would not allow the conversion to exceed the Company’s authorized share limit. Based on the current market price on the date of issuance of the note of $0.13 and the discount of 65%, the Company calculated an initial beneficial conversion feature of $86,827. The total note discount was $109,327 including the $22,500 discussed above. Such amount is being recognized as a note discount and amortized over the life of the note. The balance of the unamortized note discount was $107,691 at December 27, 2015.The Company amortized $53,914 of the discount during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016. The unamortized discount at June 26, 2016 was $53,777.

 

J&N Invest LLC - On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured Note Payable Agreement with an investor for which the Company issued a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable, which accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and matures on August 31, 2016. The Lender may also convert all or a portion of the Note Payable at any time into shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. As the market price of the stock on the date of issuance was $0.23, the Company recognized a debt discount at the date of issuance in the amount of $50,000 related to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature. The discount will be amortized over the life of the note. The balance of the unamortized note discount was $32,181 at December 27, 2015 The Company amortized $24,787 of the discount during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016. The unamortized discount at June 26, 2016 was $7,327.

NOTE 8 – PROMISSORY NOTE

 

On December 18, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal sum of $265,000 in favor of St. George Investments, LLC, pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement of the same date. The note was subject to an original issue discount of $60,000 and a $5,000 fee to cover certain expenses of lender. The note matures in six months and carries no interest unless there is an event of default. GNH may prepay the note in full within 90 days of the issuance date for $235,000. The Company has accounted for the discount as a contra account to the note and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. As such, the Company amortized $60,306 of the discount during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016. The unamortized discount at June 26, 2016 was $0, and the net balance due was $265,000.

 

The terms of the note transaction are subject to adjustment on a retroactive basis should the Registrant enter into a financing transaction with terms that would have been more favorable to the lender at any time any portion of the note remains outstanding. The Company determined this is a contingent transaction, not subject to estimation at this point, and believes such adjustment should be accounted for at the date it occurs.

 

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

In August 2015, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement with American Express Bank, which allows the Company to borrow up to $174,000. The loan matures in August 2016 and will remain in effect for successive one year periods unless terminated by either party. The loan is secured by credit card collections from the Company’s store operations. The agreement provides that the Company will receive an advance of up to $186,000 at the beginning of each fiscal month, and requires the Company to repay the loan from the credit card deposits it receives from its customers. Assuming the balance has been paid off by the end of the month, the Company will receive another advance up to the face amount of the note at the beginning of the next fiscal month.

 

The loan requires a loan fee of 0.5% of the outstanding balance as of each disbursement date. At June 26, 2016, the advance for the month of June 2016 had been entirely paid off and there was no amount due as of that date.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In July 2016, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $7,600 to a consultant for services performed.

St. George Investments, LLC - The Company executed into a Promissory Note Agreement with St. George Investments, LLC, (“Holder”) dated December 18, 2015, with a principal amount of $265,000 due in full on June 18, 2016. The Note went into default when the Company failed to make payment on the due date. Consequently, on July 8, 2016, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with St. George Investments, LLC, to replace the original Promissory Note with a new Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) carrying the following terms and conditions.

 

  1. The new Note will add 10% ($26,500) to the original principal as an Exchange Fee, making the new principal amount $291,500.
     
  2. The Note shall carry an interest rate of 8% per annum.
     
  3. The Note carries a Conversion clause that allows the Holder to have a cashless conversion into shares of Common Stock for all or part of the principal, at a price equal to the average market price for 20 days prior to the conversion. The Company is in the process of determining the appropriate accounting for the notes conversion feature and such accounting will be reflected in the Company’s future financial statement.
     
  4. In conjunction with the conversion provision, the Company agreed to an Irrevocable Letter of Instructions to Transfer Agent, along with a Secretary’s Certificate and Board Resolution, which allows a Share Reserve equal to three times the number of shares of Common Stock divided by outstanding debt by the defined conversion price, but not less than 18,000,000 shares.  
     
  5. In addition, the Company executed a Share Issuance Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of New Shares of Common Stock.  This document, in effect, allows the Holder to provide, at their discretion, a Conversion Notice directly to the Transfer Agent to receive unrestricted shares under the terms of this Exchange Agreement.
     
  6. Further to this Exchange Agreement, the Company executed an Authorization to Initiate ACH Debit Entries that allowed the Holder to receive a daily payment of $312,50 ($7,500 per month).  The Company can cancel such authorization with five days’ written notice.

 

On July 22, 2016, the Holder converted $30,000 of debt into 742,023 shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price $0.04043 per share.

This amendment has cured the default provision as noted in Note 6.

 

Landlord shall have the unconditional right to terminate the Lease by giving Tenant at least 120 days’ advance written notice of Landlord’s election to terminate the Lease, under lease amendment.

Notes to Costs and Operating Expenses Table:

 

Net sales. Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 were $831,464 and $830,812, respectively. The increase of $652, or 0.1%%, was virtually the same activity for both periods.

 

Cost of operations. Costs of operations of $734,266, and $767,076 for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively, reflecting a decline of $32,925 (4.3%). The reduced amount was about equally spread among the food, labor and other restaurant costs.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 were $319,926 and $508,682, respectively. This decline of $188,756 (37.1%) is mostly attributable to a $224,867 lower non-employee stock-based compensation, partially offset by higher professional fees.

 

Depreciation and amortization. The depreciation and amortization was $88,741 compared to the $93,753 for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. This small drop of $5,012 can be attributable to the lower acquisition of new equipment.

 

Finance and interest expense. The total finance and interest expenses of $84,378 for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016 increased by $78,498, over the $5,880 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, due to higher debt.

 

Net Loss. The overall net loss of $175,034 decreased by $299,176 (63%) for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2016, as compared to the loss of $474,826 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015. This improvement is primarily a result of the recognizing the gain from the lease termination agreement for the Century City store. In addition, the loss from operations declined nearly $227,000 mostly due to the reduction in non-employee stock-based compensation.

Notes to Costs and Operating Expenses Table:

 

The net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 were $1,710,398 and $1,749,039, respectively. The decrease of $39,296, or 4.3%%, was due mostly to lower food sales in all the stores.

 

Cost of operations. Costs of operations of $1,504,787 and $1,532,448 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. Although the stores experience a small decrease of $27,779 (1.8%), there was no one factor that this can be attributed to.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 were $644,118 and $854,348, respectively. The decline of $210,230 (24.6%) is mostly attributable to two factors. While overall professional fees (legal expense) increased by almost $77,000, the non-employee stock based compensation declined by slightly more than $260,000.

 

Depreciation and amortization. The depreciation and amortization was $6,489 (3.5%) less than the same period in the previous year. Few fixed asset acquisitions is the primary reason for this slight drop.

 

Finance and interest expense. The total finance and operating expenses of $173,331 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 represented an increase of $150,498 from $22,833 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015. This increase was primarily due to a 2015 debt negotiation deferring interest regarding the Glendale Galleria store.

 

Net Loss. The overall net loss decreased by $223,801 (28.2%)) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015. The decrease in the net loss is due to the gains recognized from the lease termination agreement of the Century City store and the sale of the fixed assets, which occurred during June 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 26, 2016, the Company has $113,305 in cash and cash equivalents, $27,107 in inventory, and $30,809 in prepaid expenses and other. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flows for all financial statement periods presented in this report. To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of stock and borrowings, in addition to sales-generated revenue.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015:

 

   For Twenty-Six
Weeks Eneded
   For Twenty-Six
Weeks Eneded
 
   June 26, 2016   June 28, 2015 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(581,386)  $(279,301)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   360,500    (6,848)
Net cash provided by financing activities   -    322,681 
Net increase (decrease) in Cash   (220,886)   36,532 
Cash, beginning of period   334,191    108,236 
Cash, end of period  $113,305   $144,768 

 

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $581,385 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016, as compared to $279,301 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015. The increase of $302,084 from the prior year was the result of the payment of accrued expenses (primarily a consulting fee), and the gain of $214,111 realized from the closure of the Century City store under a lease termination agreement with the Westfield Mall landlord.

 

Investing activities

 

The cash provided by investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 20, 2016 was $360,500 and consisted of cash received for the closure of the Century City store under the lease termination agreement with Westfield ($350,000) and the sale of remaining fixed assets ($10,500). For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015, the only cash used in investing activities was $6,848 for the purchase of certain fixed assets.

 

Financing activities

 

There were no cash flows from financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June, 2016, while $322,681 was provided during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2015, of which virtually all of the amount was proceeds from shares issued.

 

The Company is not required to provide a tabular disclosure of contractual obligations, as it is a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

The accompanying 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. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $569,704, used cash in operations of $581,386 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,441,734 as of that date. In addition, the Company was behind in certain lease payments of one of its restaurant locations and was in default on a note payable of $683,316. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the December 27, 2015 financial statements has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At June 26, 2016, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $113,305. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through September 2016. Management is currently seeking additional funds through sponsorships and promotions to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.

 

Notes Payable

 

GGP Limited Partnership - On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $700,000 Promissory Note Payable Agreement with GGP Limited Partnership (“Lender“) to be used by the Company for a portion of the construction work to be performed by the Company under the lease by and between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates, LLC. The Note Payable accrued interest at a rate of 10% through October 15, 2015, 12% through October 31, 2017, and 15% through October 31, 2023 and matures on October 31, 2023.

 

On March 1, 2015, the Company and the lender renegotiated the terms of the Promissory Note and agreed to a new note with a principal balance due of $683,316. As part of the new agreement, the Lender waived principal and interest payments for two years beginning March 1, 2015. Thereafter, principal and interest will be paid in equal monthly installments of $12,707, within increasing interest rates. As of June 26, 2016 and December 27, 2015, the principal balance due under the note was $683,316.

 

The lender under the Note is GGP Limited Partnership (GGP). GGP is an affiliate of Glendale II Mall Associates, the lessor of the Company’s Glendale Mall restaurant location. In accordance with the note agreement, an event of default would occur if the Borrower defaults under the lease between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire balance of the Note payable and accrued interest would become due and payable, and the balance due becomes subject to a default interest rate (which is 5% higher than the defined interest rate). As of June 26, 2016, the Company was past due in its rental obligation and the Note is in default. As of June 26, 2016, the entire principal and accrued interest is due and payable and is classified as current liability.

Iconic Holdings, LLC - On December 21, 2015, Giggle N Hugs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant“), issued an 8% unsecured convertible promissory note in favor of Iconic Holdings, LLC, in the principal sum of $161,250. The note was subject to an original issue discount of $11,250, plus another $11,250 retained by the lender for fees and costs, resulting in net proceeds to the company of $138,500. The note carries a guaranteed 10% interest rate, matures on December 21, 2016 and is subject to pre-payment penalties. The note may be converted, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder into the Registrant’s common stock at a price per share equal to 65% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of the note. The conversion floor price was set at $0.08. The note also contains a make-good provision requiring the Registrant to make a payment to the holder in the event the Registrant’s trading price at the time the conversion notice is submitted is below $0.11. Any shares issued upon conversion of the note shall have piggyback registration rights and failure to do so could result in damages up to 30% of the principal sum of the note, but not less than $20,000. The note contains various default provisions including a requirement for the Company to maintain a prescribed closing bid price for a certain number of days, and a continued listing in a principal market.

 

J&N Invest LLC - On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured Note Payable Agreement with an investor for which the Company issued a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable, which accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and matures on August 31, 2016. The Lender may also convert all or a portion of the Note Payable at any time into shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.

 

St. George Investments, LLC - The Company executed into a Promissory Note Agreement with St. George Investments, LLC, (“Holder“) dated December 18, 2015, with a principal amount of $265,000 due in full on June 18, 2016. The Note went into default when the Company failed to make payment on the due date. Consequently, on July 8, 2016, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with St. George Investments, LLC, to replace the original Promissory Note with a new Convertible Promissory Note (“Note“) carrying the following terms and conditions.

 

  1. The new Note will add 10% ($26,500) to the original principal as an Exchange Fee, making the new principal amount $291,500.
     
  2. The Note shall carry an interest rate of 8% per annum
     
  3. The Note carries a Conversion clause that allows the Holder to have a cashless conversion into shares of Common Stock for all or part of the principal, at a price equal to the average market price for 20 days prior to the conversion,
     
  4. In conjunction with the conversion provision, the Company agreed to an Irrevocable Letter of Instructions to Transfer Agent, along with a Secretary’s Certificate and Board Resolution, which allows a Share Reserve equal to three times the number of shares of Common Stock divided by outstanding debt by the defined conversion price, but not less than 18,000,000 shares.
     
  5. In addition, the Company executed a Share Issuance Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of New Shares of Common Stock. This document, in effect, allows the Holder to provide, at their discretion, a Conversion Notice directly to the Transfer Agent to receive unrestricted shares under the terms of this Exchange Agreement.
     
  6. Further to this Exchange Agreement, the Company executed an Authorization to Initiate ACH Debit Entries that allowed the Holder to receive a daily payment of $312,50 ($7,500 per month). The Company can cancel such authorization with five days’ written notice.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, impairment analyses, accounting for contingencies and equity instruments issued for services. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Our management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets, including identifiable amortizing intangibles, for possible impairment. This review occurs quarterly or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment of property and equipment or amortizable intangible assets, then management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated at the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks. Quarterly, or earlier, if there is indication of impairment of identified intangible assets not subject to amortization, management compares the estimated fair value with the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized to write down the intangible asset to its fair value if it is less than the carrying amount. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions.

 

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to impairment of our long lived assets, including our trademark license and trademarks, is a “critical accounting estimate“ because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to estimate fair value, which is based on assumptions about cash flows and discount rates; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our balance sheet, as well as net income, could be material. Management’s assumptions about cash flows and discount rates require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and we expect they will continue to do so.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company‘s common stock option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Without sufficient cash flow from operations we will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions to implement of our strategy to successfully expand our operations. If our own financial resources and then-current cash-flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Joey Parsi, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on his evaluation, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

None.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

As of the date of this Report, the Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings. The only significant litigation that the Company was previously involved with was settled in August 2016 (see Note 13 - Subsequent Events) From time to time, however, the Company may be named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Although the Company cannot accurately predict the amount of its liability, if any, that could arise with respect to currently pending legal actions, it is not expected that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our significant business risks are described in Item 1A to Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2015, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

As consideration for consultant’s services pursuant to the Strategic Alliance Agreement, GIGL agreed to issue to consultant a warrant to purchase up to 4,400,000 shares of GIGL’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.075 per share, which warrant vests in increments based upon the achievement of certain milestones described in the agreement. GIGL issued the warrant in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the above transaction did not involve a public offering.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities from the time of our inception through the period ended June 26, 2016.

 

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

On March 1, 2015, the Company and the lender renegotiated the terms of the Promissory Note and agreed to a new note with a principal balance due of $683,316. As part of the new agreement, the Lender waived principal and interest payments for two years beginning March 1, 2015. Thereafter, principal and interest are required tobe paid in equal monthly installments of $12,707, within increasing interest rates. As of March 27, 2016 and December 27, 2015, the principal balance due under the note was $683,316.

 

The lender under the Note is GGP Limited Partnership (GGP). GGP is an affiliate of Glendale II Mall Associates, the lessor of the Company’s Glendale Mall restaurant location. In accordance with the note agreement, an event of default occurs if the Borrower defaults under the lease between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire balance of the Note payable and accrued interest is due and payable immediately, and the balance due is subject to a default interest rate (which is 5% higher than the defined interest rate). As of June 26, 2016, the Company was past due in its rental obligation and the Note is in default as of June 26, 2016.
