NOTE 1 – BUSINESS SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
AND LIQUIDITY
Nature of Business
First Foods Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “First Foods” formerly known as Litera Group, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2015, as “Litera Group, Inc.”. The Company is an emerging growth corporation originally formed to provide products and services within the theater and film production community. The Company developed screenplays, stage plays, comedy sketch and skit scripts, short film scripts and other literary and dramatic works, as well as offered abridgment and adaptation services. The Company’s target market was independent film and theatrical producers and small and experimental production studios that scout for new projects to produce and distribute. The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada in order to change its name from Litera Group, Inc. to First Foods Group, Inc. (the “Amendment”). The board of directors of the Company approved the Amendment on February 15, 2017. The shareholders of the Company approved the Amendment by written consent on February 15, 2017. The Amendment became effective on February 16, 2017. First Foods is now focused on providing management services and funding options for new foodservice brands and menu concepts, including the participation in merchant advances by 1
st
Foods Funding Division. First Foods Group, Inc. is also growing its own new concepts, both through proprietary development and through mergers, acquisitions, and licensing arrangements.
On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Oded Brenner (“Brenner”). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company and Brenner would form an entity that would own the intellectual property rights to “Blue Stripes-Cacao Shop” (the “IP Entity”) for the United States. The Company had 120 days from the date of the Term Sheet to perform due diligence activities and complete the closing. Upon the completion of due diligence, Company Management and the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the shareholders to forego a US-wide cacao concept. Instead, on August 31, 2017 the Company formed its own wholly owned cacao subsidiary named Holy Cacao, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On November 3, 2017 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Oded Brenner which is a performance-based agreement that requires Mr. Brenner to perform specific packaging, marketing and product development duties in connection with the Company’s launch of its Holy Cacao subsidiary. Holy Cacao will be dedicated to providing specialty chocolate to particular states within the US. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating production and packaging contracts with third party providers in anticipation of operating activities to commence in 2018.
On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “TBS Term Sheet”) with The Big Salad Franchise Company, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“TBS”). The Company had 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet to perform due diligence activities and complete the closing. Upon the completion of due diligence, Company Management and the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the shareholders to forego the TBS transaction.
On October 25, 2017, the Company entered into a contract with TIER Merchant Advance LLC to participate in the purchase of future receivables from qualified merchants for the purpose of generating near-term and long-term revenue for the Company.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2017. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 27, 2017, and with the disclosures and risk factors presented therein. The December 31, 2016 condensed balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
First Foods Group, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The Company does not have sufficient cash flow for the next twelve months from the date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of twelve months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company had $271 and $17,355 in cash.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to December 30, 2016, the Company generated revenues from the sale of movie scripts. Revenues were recognized when the following conditions were met:
1.
|
Persuasive evidence of a sale or license agreement exists with a customer.
|
|
|
2.
|
The script is complete and has been delivered or is immediately available to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
|
|
|
3.
|
The license period for the arrangement has started and the customer can begin exploitation, exhibition or sale.
|
|
|
4.
|
The arrangement fee is fixed or determinable
|
|
|
5.
|
Collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.
|
If any of the above conditions are not met, the Company will defer revenue until all conditions are met.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. With the change in ownership occurring December 30, 2016, the Company is subject to certain NOL limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Per Share Data
In accordance with “ASC-260 - Earnings per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. The carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant market or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period (full retrospective) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application (modified retrospective). The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2019 and plans to apply the full retrospective approach. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
