PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on
May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is
the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability
Company (“Your Hometown Deli”), we operate a delicatessen store
that features “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual
and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local
patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places.
Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first
unit was built in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli was formed under the laws
of State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli entered
into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with the Company and
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. We introduced the
delicatessen concept under the Your Hometown Deli brand name.
The Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept
called “Your Hometown Deli.” Your Hometown Delis features
“home-style” sandwiches, food items, and groceries in a casual and
friendly atmosphere. Your Hometown Delis are designed to be
comfortable community gathering places for customers of all ages.
The Company seeks to create an establishment that will appeal to
local residents and commuting workers, conveniently offering
high-quality products at fair prices. Targeted towards smaller
towns and communities, the Company’s first and only location was
opened in Paulsboro, New Jersey on October 14, 2015.
We have limited advertising using social media and direct mailing
to residents in towns around our store, however, we continue to
place advertisements in a local high school sports calendar, local
newspaper and have attended various local events with food samples
and menus. Events like the Lighthouse Challenge held at Tinicum
Rear Range Lighthouse and various political fundraisers throughout
Gloucester County. We expect our losses to continue during
2021.
Going forward, we intend to seek, investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a
private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our
shareholders. Our objectives discussed below are extremely general
and are not intended to restrict discretion of our Board of
Directors to search for and enter into potential business
opportunities or to reject any such opportunities. We have no
particular business combination in mind and have not entered into
any negotiations regarding such a combination. Neither our officers
nor any of our affiliates has engaged in any negotiations with any
representative of any company regarding the possibility of an
acquisition or combination between our company and such other
company. We have not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have
any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in
a transaction.
We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to
any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus,
may acquire any type of business. Further, we may acquire or
combine with a venture that is in its preliminary or early stages
of development, one that is already in operation or one that is in
a more mature stage of its corporate existence. Accordingly,
business opportunities may be available in many different
industries and at various stages of development, all of which will
make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such
business opportunities difficult and complex.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or
under the supervision of our executive officers and directors, none
of whom is a business analyst. Therefore, it is anticipated that
outside consultants or advisors may be utilized to assist us in the
search for and analysis of qualified target companies.
Recent Developments
Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the
Company
On March 23, 2020, we were forced to temporarily close the
delicatessen due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor
of New Jersey on March 9, 2020, resulting from the outbreak of
COVID-19. The delicatessen was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with
a “soft opening” to a limited audience, prior to its “Grand
Re-Opening” to the public on September 22, 2020. The temporarily
closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our
business during 2020. Although we are unable to estimate the
ultimate impact, it is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will
continue to effect the flow of customers into the deli throughout
2021. Those customers include commuting workers, local
students and coaches who frequent the sports facility on the
property and the reduced number of people willing to dine outside
the household.
Corporate Developments
On April 14, 2020, the Company consummated a private offer and sale
of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash
proceeds to us of $2,500,000.
On April 15, 2020, the Company issued to each shareholder of record
on said date: (i) five Class A Warrants, entitling the holder
thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Class A Warrants”), (ii)
five Class B Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase
five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$1.50 per share (the “Class B Warrants”), (iii) five Class C
Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of
the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share
(the “Class C Warrants”), and (iv) five Class D Warrants, entitling
the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Class D
Warrants”), with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035
(collectively, the “Warrants”)
Effective May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Consulting
Agreement with Tryon Capital Ventures LLC, a North Carolina limited
liability company (“Tyron”). Tryon was things to support in the
research, development, and analysis of product, financial and
strategic matters. The term of the consulting agreement is one-year
and Tryon shall receive $15,000 per month during the term. We
anticipate extending the term of the Consulting Agreement with
Tryon for an additional one-year term.
Effective May 1, 2020 the Company entered into a Consulting
Agreement with VCH Limited, a company formed under the laws of
Macau (“VCH”) which owns in excess of 10% of our common stock. VCH
was engaged as a consultant to the Company, to, among other things,
create and build a presence with high net worth and institutional
investors. The term of the agreement is one year and VCH shall
receive $25,000 per month during the term. We anticipate extending
the term of the Consulting Agreement with VCH for an additional
one-year term.
On June 8, 2020, the Company filed a registration statement on Form
S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register
of an aggregate of 2,783,637 shares of common stock currently
issued and outstanding. The registration statement became effective
October 15, 2020.
The Your Hometown Deli Concept
Your Hometown Deli is a delicatessen concept that will focus on
providing high-quality food products not available in local
supermarkets or take-out restaurants. The delicatessen concept has
a worldwide history with the term first appearing in the English
language in 1889. The word “delicatessen” originates in the German
language and means “delicacies” or “fine foods.” Delicatessens vary
throughout the world, but in the United States a delicatessen (or
“deli”) is a small retail store that is a blend of a grocery and a
fast-food restaurant.
The Company’s Your Hometown Deli concept is patterned after
traditional delicatessens, offering a wider and fresher menu than
found at fast-food restaurants. Sandwiches and green salads are
made fresh to order. Like many delis, Your Hometown Deli serves
some hot foods kept on a steam table, similar to a cafeteria. In
addition to ready-to-eat food, the Your Hometown Deli sells cold
cuts by weight. A wide variety of beverages are also sold together
with potato chips and similar products.
In addition to our food offering, newspapers, limited household
items and small snack items, such as candy, cookies and chewing
gums are planned to be available for purchase. Your Hometown Deli
also provides take-out service and limited seating in the
store.
We have begun generating revenue from the sales of our food and
beverage since our soft opening in mid-October 2015. Besides the
equipment, fixtures, and inventories we purchased for our deli
store, we have limited assets. We had minimal working capital as of
the date of this annual report and used cash in operating
activities for the year then ended. These factors raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Products
Your Hometown Deli provides sandwiches, soups, salads, deli
meats/cheeses, hot/cold drinks, fresh breads/rolls and small retail
items for cooking, baking, and home use. Salads include
made-to-order green salads, prepared pasta, potato, chicken, or
other variety of “wet” salads. Breakfast products include baked
goods (breakfast pastries, bagels, toast), yogurt, and hot
breakfast sandwiches. Fresh coffee, tea and other hot and cold
beverages are also available for purchase.
Strategy
The Company’s business strategy is to create a food-centered social
environment within the local community that offers higher-quality
prepared food and ingredients than is typically found locally. The
Company’s management believes that broader market trends and
certain locality-specific attributes support this strategy. The
average American eats out 4-5 times a week and according to the
United States Department of Labor. Management of the Company
believes the increased popularity of eating out in the United
States is a social trend that is likely to continue in the
future.
Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue
to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or
equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or
equity financing will be available or will be available on terms
acceptable to our company. If we cannot obtain financing or if
we determine not to proceed with our business plan, we may decide
to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic
alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an
existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any
specific business, industry or geographical location.
Location
The Company’s sole location is in Paulsboro, a borough in
Gloucester County, New Jersey that was founded in 1904. Paulsboro
is located directly across the Delaware River from the city of
Philadelphia and the Philadelphia airport. Your Hometown Deli is
located on a property in the commercial area of downtown Paulsboro
that has two buildings. The front building is the location of the
new Your Hometown Deli as well as the local Conrail offices. The
rear building is used throughout the week as a practice facility by
the local wrestling club and other sports groups. Paulsboro has a
national reputation for its wrestling activities and one of the
Company’s founders is a leader in the sport of wrestling.
The borough of Paulsboro is undergoing a redevelopment phase from a
petroleum products specialty port into an adaptable “OmniPort” able
to handle a diversity of bulk, break bulk cargo and shipping
containers. Studies completed in 2012 concluded that the port is
well suited to become a center for the manufacturing, assembly, and
transport of wind turbines and platforms for the development of
Atlantic Wind Connection. The port is located approximately one
mile from the site of the Your Hometown Deli. The Company’s
management believes that hundreds of employees around the area will
eventually pass the Your Hometown Deli, the only food establishment
on the main commuter route to the Port.
The Market
The local Paulsboro market is small, but conducive to hosting a
Your Hometown Deli. According to the NJ Gazetteer, there were 5862
people and 2198 households residing in the borough as of July 1,
2020. The median household income was $44,250. The broader
Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area is the eight-largest
metropolitan area in the United States with a population to 6.1
million people.
The Company anticipates drawing customers from people living in
Paulsboro and the adjacent communities of Greenwich, Clarksboro,
and West Deptford, New Jersey. Commuting workers are also
anticipated to be customers.
Local students and coaches who frequently use the sports practice
facility on the property are another group of potential customers.
The practice facility is also home to the “The Monster Factory,” a
professional wrestling training and wrestling match promotions
organization. In business more than 30 years, the Monster Factory
has become “the world’s most famous wrestling school” and has been
featured in the Rolling Stone, NewsWeek,
and Wall Street Journal. The Company believes that the
attendees of Monster Factory wrestling events are potential
customers for Your Hometown Deli.
Local competing delicatessen concept stores include Wawa and Royal
Farms. Other dining and grocery options in the area include locally
owned pizzerias, seafood, and fine dining restaurants. Fast food
options in the vicinity include McDonalds, Burger King, and
Wendy’s. Grocery stores include Dollar General, Heritage’s Dairy
Stores and Save A Lot.
Employees
The Company presently has no full-time employees apart from its
officers and directors, Paul F. Morina, President, and Christine T.
Lindenmuth. Both are currently working for the Company without any
compensation.
Sales and Marketing
The Company relies heavily on word of mouth for its marketing. The
Company’s founders have close ties to the community in which the
first store is located and believe that these relationships will
help the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. We use Facebook to
describe the quality, atmosphere, products, specials, customer
opinions and general information about the Your Hometown Deli’s
operation. All sales and marketing messages will attempt to
describe the unique character of the Your Hometown Deli and its
family-oriented style and old-world feel.
Seasonality
We do not have a seasonal business cycle. However, we may offer
seasonal food items or adjust our menu items depending on the
seasons.
Environmental Matters
Our business currently does not implicate any environmental
regulation.
Intellectual Property
We do not hold any patents, trademarks or other registered
intellectual property on products relating to our business except
that we have a Facebook page.
ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS
Risks Related to our Business
Our financial condition and results of operations have been
and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent
coronavirus outbreak.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, known as COVID-19,
was first reported and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization in March 2020. To date, this outbreak has
surfaced in nearly all regions around the world, and as the
pandemic continues to spread, particularly in the United States,
businesses as well as federal, state and local governments have
implemented significant actions to attempt to mitigate this public
health crisis. As a result, on March 23, 2020, we were forced to
temporarily close our delicatessen due to the stay-at-home order
issued by the Governor of New Jersey on March 9, 2020, resulting
from the outbreak of COVID-19, However, on September 8, 2020, the
delicatessen was reopened for business. We experienced a decrease
in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the
stay-at-home order was issued. Even now that the order is lifted
and the delicatessen is re-opened, we may have a slowdown in
customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will
be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient
revenues. The further spread of COVID-19, and the requirements to
take action to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, will impact our
ability to carry out our business as usual and may materially
adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Even now that we
have reopened our store, we might be subject to modified hours and
conditions. Moreover, should New Jersey fail to fully contain
COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19 relapse, the market for our deli may
not recover quickly or at all, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations. As a result, we
may incur additional impairment charges to our inventory, store and
corporate assets, any of which may have a significant or material
impact on our financial results. The extent to which COVID-19
impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information
which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the scope
and duration of actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact,
among others. While such actions may be relaxed or rolled back if
and when the pandemic abates, the actions may be reinstated as it
continues to evolve. The scope and timing of any such
reinstatements are difficult to predict and may materially affect
our future operations.
Economic conditions in the United States could adversely
affect our business and financial results.
As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary
spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in or
uncertainty about macro-economic conditions. Our customers may have
less money for discretionary purchases and may stop or reduce their
purchases of our products or trade down to competitors’ lower
priced foods as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies,
increased fuel and energy costs, higher interest rates, inflation,
higher taxes, reduced access to credit, economic uncertainty and
potential negative impacts relating to federal economic policy
changes and recent international trade disputes. These factors may
also result in a general downturn in the restaurant industry.
Decreases in customer traffic and/or average value per transaction
will negatively impact our financial performance as reduced
revenues without a corresponding decrease in expenses result in
sales de-leveraging, which creates downward pressure on margins and
also negatively impacts net revenues, operating income and earnings
per share. There is also a risk that if negative economic
conditions or uncertainty persist for a long period of time or
worsen, consumers may make long-lasting changes to their
discretionary purchasing behavior, including less frequent
discretionary purchases on a more permanent basis.
If our business plans are not successful, we may not be able
to continue operations and our shareholders may lose their entire
investment in us.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, we operate
a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches and
other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. We planned to
expand our Your Hometown Deli concept, but currently have only one
delicatessen location in Paulsboro, New Jersey. On March 23, 2020,
the Company temporarily closed the delicatessen due to the
stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey. Although
the Stay at Home at Home Order has been lifted, on October 24,
2020, the Governor signed Executive Order No. 191 extending
the Public Health Emergency for another 30 days. The deli was
re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a limited
audience, prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on
September 22, 2020.
The Company experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued.
Even though the delicatessen has been re-opened, the Company may
have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic
condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate
sufficient revenues. The Company expects the growth rate and sales
to be volatile in the near term. The Company slowly regains its
customer base after reopening.
On April 14, 2020, the Company consummated a private offer and sale
of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash
proceeds to us of $2,500,000. On April 24, 2020, the Company fully
repaid the notes payable to Peter L. Coker, Jr., our Chairman, in
the principal amount of $285,126 and $46,978 of accrued interest.
The loans, which were paid in full, were repaid from the proceeds
of private placement. The Company plans to utilize the remainder of
the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes,
and to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the
Company and to fund general corporate purposes. Management believes
that the current working capital are sufficient to sustain its
current operations at its current spending levels for the next 12
months. If we are not successful in expanding our Your Hometown
Deli concept, or finding a business to merge with, we may need to
cease our operations, which would result in our shareholders losing
their entire investment in us.
We do not have any agreement for a business combination or
other transaction.
We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to
engaging in a merger with, joint venture with, or acquisition of, a
private or public entity. We cannot assure you that we will
successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities
or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not
identified any particular industry or specific business within an
industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able
to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there
is consequently a risk that future funds allocated to the purchase
of our shares will not be invested in a company with active
business operations.
Future success is highly dependent on the ability of
management to locate and attract a suitable
acquisition.
The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a
great extent on the operations, financial condition and management
of the identified target company. While business combinations with
entities having established operating histories are preferred,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating
candidates meeting such criteria. The decision to enter into a
business combination will likely be made without detailed
feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys or
similar information which, if we had more funds available to it,
would be desirable. In the event we complete a business
combination, the success of our operations will be dependent upon
management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond
our control. We cannot assure you that we will identify a target
company and consummate a business combination.
There is competition for those private companies suitable for
a merger or combination transaction of the type contemplated by
management.
We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of
business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of
consummating a successful business combination. We are and will
continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of
seeking mergers with, joint ventures with, and acquisitions of,
small private and public entities. A large number of established
and well-financed entities, including small public companies and
venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of
companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly
all these entities have significantly greater financial resources,
technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do.
Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in
identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
completing a business combination. These competitive factors may
reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a
successful business combination.
We have not conducted market research to identify business
opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business
to merge with or acquire.
We have neither conducted nor have others made available to us
results of market research concerning prospective business
opportunities. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand
exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our
management has not identified any specific business combination or
other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be
expected that any such target business or transaction will present
such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings
of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available.
There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business
opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which
business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by
our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval
of our stockholders.
Although management intends to devote only a limited amount
of time to seeking a target company, which may adversely impact our
ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our Chairman
intends to devote his full business time to seeking a target
company.
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates
devoting very limited time to our affairs in total. However, Peter
Coker, Jr., our Chairman, intends to devote his full time to
seeking a business combination for the Company. Neither Mr. Coker
nor any of our officers have entered into any written employment
agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable
future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to
identify and consummate a successful business combination. We are
dependent on the services of our management to obtain the
additional capital required to implement our business plan and for
investigating, negotiating and integrating potential acquisition
opportunities. The loss of services of our officers could have a
substantial adverse effect on us. The expansion of our business
will be largely contingent on our ability to attract and retain
highly qualified corporate and operations level management team. We
cannot assure you that we will find suitable management personnel
or will have financial resources to attract or retain such people
if found.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a
public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a
merger or acquisition with the most attractive private
companies.
Target companies that are private or that fail to comply with SEC
reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections
13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to
provide certain information about significant acquisitions,
including audited consolidated financial statements for the company
acquired. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by
some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly
delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition.
Otherwise-suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are
unable to obtain the required audited statements may be
inappropriate for acquisition.
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company
may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign concern, we
will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of
the United States. These risks include, for example, currency
fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local
tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw
materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural
and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or
unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross
national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of
savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
We may need to raise additional capital to consummate a
merger or business combination. If our outstanding warrants
operations do not produce the necessary cash needed, or if we
cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our
activities with consequent loss to investors.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional
funding when it is needed, or that such funding, if available, will
be obtainable on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain needed
funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with
consequent loss to investors. In addition, should we incur
significant presently unforeseen expenses or delays, we may not be
able to accomplish our goals.
Our shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote
on our proposed business combination.
We might consummate a business combination without obtaining
shareholder approval of such transaction. Although a business
combination might be structured so that obtaining shareholder
approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such
purpose would be a condition to closing, it is possible that we
will consummate a business combination without the need for
obtaining such approval. The decision as to whether we will seek
shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or not will
be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a
variety of factors such as the structure of the transaction, the
timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction
would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval.
Our failure to adopt certain corporate governance procedures
may prevent us from obtaining a listing on a national securities
exchange.
We do not have an audit, compensation or nominating and corporate
governance committee. The functions such committees would perform
are performed by the board as a whole. Consequently, there is a
potential conflict of interest in board decisions that may
adversely affect our ability to become a listed security on a
national securities exchange and as a result adversely affect the
liquidity of our Common Stock.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Since we are traded on the OTC Markets, an active, liquid
trading market for our common stock may not develop or be
sustained. If and when an active market develops the price of our
common stock may be volatile.
Presently, our common stock is traded on the OTCQB tier of the OTC
Markets. Presently there is limited trading in our stock and in the
absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty
buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, market
visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited, and a
lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a
depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common
stock.
The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your
shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you
consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce
the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also
impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations
by selling shares.
Trading in stocks quoted on the Pink Markets is often thin and
characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many
factors that may have little to do with our operations or business
prospects. The securities market has from time-to-time experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to
the operating performance of particular companies. These market
fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market
price of shares of our common stock. Moreover, the pink sheets
is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities is often more
sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation
system like Nasdaq or a national stock exchange like the NYSE.
Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any shares
of common stock.
There is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends
to our shareholders, which means that you could receive little or
no return on your investment.
Payment of dividends from our earnings and profits may be made at
the sole discretion of our board of directors. There is no
assurance that we will generate any distributable cash from
operations. Our board may elect to retain cash for operating
purposes, debt retirement, or some other purpose. Consequently, you
may receive little or no return on your investment.
Our shares will be subordinate to all of our debts and
liabilities, which increases the risk that you could lose your
entire investment.
Our shares are equity interests that will be subordinate to all of
our current and future indebtedness with respect to claims on our
assets. In any liquidation, all of our debts and liabilities must
be paid before any payment is made to our shareholders. The amount
of any debt financing we incur creates a substantial risk that in
the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, we may
have no assets remaining for distribution to our shareholders after
payment of our debts.
There is a limited public market for our Common
Stock.
There is currently a limited public market for the common stock.
Holders of our common stock may, therefore, have difficulty selling
their common stock, should they decide to do so. In addition, there
can be no assurances that such markets will continue or that any
shares of common stock will be able to be sold without incurring a
loss. Any such market price of the common stock may not necessarily
bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating
results, financial condition or any other established criteria of
value, and may not be indicative of the market price for the common
stock in the future. Further, the market price for the common stock
may be volatile depending on a number of factors, including
business performance, industry dynamics, news announcements or
changes in general.
We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which
would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our
share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of
250,000,000 shares of capital stock. We have an aggregate of
155,940,080 warrants issued and outstanding which are all currently
exercisable. The future issuance of common stock will result in
substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by
our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock
issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common
stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate
actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares
held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any
trading market for our common stock.

You should read the following discussion together with our
financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in
this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that are based on our current
expectations, estimates and projections about our business and
operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those
currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking
statements.
Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the
Company
On March 23, 2020, we were forced to temporarily close the
delicatessen due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor
of New Jersey on March 9, 2020, resulting from the outbreak of
COVID-19. The delicatessen was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with
a “soft opening” to a limited audience, prior to its “Grand
Re-Opening” to the public on September 22, 2020. The temporarily
closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our
business during 2020. Although we are unable to estimate the
ultimate impact, it is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will
continue to effect the flow of customers into the deli throughout
2021. Those customers include commuting workers, local
students and coaches who frequent the sports facility on the
property and the reduced number of people willing to dine outside
the household.
Overview
Incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada,
Hometown International, Inc. is the originator of a new
Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your
Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company (“Your Hometown Deli”), we
operate a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches
and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is
designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable
community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and
communities, the Company’s first and only store is located in
Paulsboro, New Jersey.
On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the
laws of State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli,
LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with our
Company and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. We
introduced the delicatessen concept under the Your Hometown Deli
brand name.
We began generating revenue from the sales of our food and beverage
since our soft opening in mid-October 2015. Besides the equipment,
fixtures, and inventories we purchased for our deli store, we have
limited assets. We had minimal working capital as of the date of
this annual report and used cash in operating activities for the
reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt
from our auditor about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we continued to refine our
menu and operating hours. We have limited advertising using social
media and word of mouth; however, we continue to place an
advertisement in a local high school sports calendar and have
attended various local events with food samples and menus. We
have attended events like the Lighthouse Challenge held at Tinicum
Rear Range Lighthouse and various political fundraisers throughout
Gloucester County. We expect our losses to continue.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company used cash in
operations of $668,668 and has a net loss from operations of
$631,356 and an accumulated deficit of $1,438,276 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimate
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates
include valuation of in-kind contribution of service and valuation
of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606). The standard states that an entity should recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services.
The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenues
from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized
when sales occur.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet
effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not
applicable.
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31,
2019
Comparison for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020 and
2019
We generated revenue of $13,976 and $21,772 for the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in revenue
is attributed to the deli being closed due to COVID-19. The deli
was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a
limited audience, prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on
September 22, 2020.
The total cost and expenses was $638,414 for the year ended
December 31, 2020, compared to $153,930 for the year ended December
31, 2019. This increase in costs and expenses is primarily due to
$320,000 of consulting fees paid to related parties during the year
ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $113,991 in professional
resulting from the registration statement filed by the Company
during the year ended December 31, 2020 and an increase of $59,909
in general and administrative expenses. Increase in general and
administrative fees was attributable to fees required in connection
with filing with the Security and Exchange Commission and an
increase in general business expenses.
We incurred loss from operations of $624,438 and $132,158 for the
years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This increase
in loss from operations was due to a reduction in revenues and an
increase in operating costs.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,000
resulting from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority grant
received from the NJEDA Small Business Emergency Assistance Phase 2
Grant assistance program in light of the impact of the coronavirus
pandemic.
Interest
income increased by $1,173 to $1,173 for the year ended December
31, 2020 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
increase
was primarily due to interest on note receivable – related
party.
Interest expense was $9,091 for the year ended December 31, 2020,
compared to $27,183 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This
decrease was due to a lower interest expense on the loans as a
result of a decrease in debt outstanding.
Due to the described factors above, we had a net loss of $631,356
and $149,341 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2020, we had current assets of $1,556,426,
consisting of $1,398,006 in cash, $6,594 in prepaid expenses, $954
in inventory, $150,000 in note receivable - related party and $872
in interest receivable – related party. Our current liabilities as
of December 31, 2020, were $70,051, which is comprised of $64,749
due to certain officers, $2,388 in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and $2,914 in current operating lease liability.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had used cash of $668,668
for operating activities, used cash of $150,000 in investing
activities and financing activities provided $2,211,292. We had a
net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1,392,624 for the
year ended December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operations
of $668,668 was the result of a net loss of $631,356 and a decrease
of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $66,593, offset by
in-kind contribution of services of $30,856, depreciation expense
of $5,801 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $6,594.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operations
of $156,671 was the result of a net loss of $149,341 and a decrease
of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $55,363 offset by
in-kind contribution of services of $30,856, depreciation expense
of $7,315, and a gain on debt settlement of $10,000.
Net cash used in our investing activities were $150,000 and $0 for
the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
respectively. The increase was attributable to issuance of note
receivable -related party of $150,000.
Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $2,211,292
for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is represented by
$2,500,000 proceeds from issuance of common stock, $11,732 proceeds
from/due to related parties, $332,104 loan repayment to related
party, $70,000 proceeds from note payable- related party and
$38,336 repurchase of stock. Our financing activities resulted in a
cash inflow of $161,444 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which
is represented by $19,054 proceeds from a shareholder loan payable,
repayment of note payable of $81,000, repayment of note payable –
related party of $31,710 and $255,100 proceeds, net of repayment
from note payable- related party.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company used cash in operations of $668,668, has an accumulated
deficit of $1,438,276 and has a net loss of $631,356 for the year
ended December 31, 2020.
On March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily closed the delicatessen
due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey.
Although the Stay at Home at Home Order has been lifted, on October
24, 2020, the Governor signed Executive Order No. 191
extending the Public Health Emergency for another 30 days. The deli
was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a
limited audience, prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on
September 22, 2020.
The Company experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued.
Even though the delicatessen has been re-opened, the Company may
have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic
condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate
sufficient revenues. The Company expects the growth rate and sales
to be volatile in the near term. The Company slowly regains its
customer base after reopening.
On April 14, 2020, the Company consummated a private offer and sale
of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash
proceeds to us of $2,500,000. On April 24, 2020, the Company fully
repaid the notes payable to Peter L. Coker, Jr., our Chairman, in
the principal amount of $285,126, and $46.978 of accrued interest.
The loans, which were paid in full, were repaid from the proceeds
of private placement. The Company plans to utilize the remainder of
the proceeds to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates
for the Company and to fund general corporate purposes. As of
December 31, 2020, we had approximately $1,398,000 of cash on hand,
and a cash burn rate of approximately $70,000 per month. Management
believes that the current working capital are sufficient to sustain
its current operations for the next 12 months. Management believes
that the actions taken in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic and
current working capital are sufficient to sustain its current
operations at its current spending levels for the next 12 months.
However, we are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of
operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Stockholders and Board of Directors of:
Hometown International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Hometown International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on
our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due
to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising
from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures
that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex
judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not
alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the
critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which
they relate.
Warrants issued to shareholders of record
As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements,
on April 15, 2020, the Company issued
twenty warrants for every one share of common stock held to
shareholders of record as of April 15, 2020. The warrants were
issued to the shareholders of record on a pro-rata basis on the
issuance date.
To determine the fair value of warrants, the Company determines the
appropriate valuation methodology and assumptions, including
unobservable inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of each
warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, that uses
significant assumptions, including the Company's stock price,
historical volatility of the Company's shares, risk-free interest
rate and probability of exercise occurrence through expiration date
of warrant. There was no consideration in exchange for the issuance
of these warrants and therefore, these are treated as shareholder’s
distribution with a net effect of zero on stockholder’s equity.
Auditing management's estimate for the
fair value of warrants was complex and highly judgmental as
it involved our assessment of the significant assumptions used by
management because the fair value
calculations were sensitive to changes in assumptions described
above, and certain inputs used in the determination of fair values
were based on unobservable data, including, but not limited to, the
historical volatility and probability of conversion.
To test the fair value of the Company's financial assets and
liabilities, we performed audit procedures that included, among
others, evaluating the methodologies used in the valuation model
and the significant assumptions used by the Company.
Notes receivable from related party
As discussed in Notes 3 and 11 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company received unsecured promissory notes from
related parties in exchange for cash.
Evaluating the identification of related party transactions was
highly judgmental as it involved our assessment to determine such
transactions were identified by the Company.
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s certain internal
controls related to the identification of related party
transactions. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence
obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed over the
identification of related party transactions.

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
NOTE 1 |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. The Company is the
originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept (“Your Hometown Deli”).
The Company intends that its delicatessens will feature
“home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual friendly
atmosphere. Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community
gathering places for guests of all ages.
On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the
laws of the State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown
Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
with Hometown International, Inc. For accounting purposes, this
transaction is being accounted for as a merger of entities under
common control and has been treated as a recapitalization of
Hometown International, Inc. with Your Hometown Deli, LLC, as the
accounting acquirer). The historical financial statements of the
accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the
registrant. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any
intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 5,000,000
shares issued to the shareholder of Your Hometown Deli, LLC, in
conjunction with the share exchange transaction has been presented
as outstanding for all periods.
The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which is the year
end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.
On March 23, 2020, we temporarily closed the delicatessen due to
the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey on
March 9, 2020. As of the date of this report, the Stay-at-Home
Order has been lifted, however, on October 24, 2020, the
Governor signed Executive Order No. 191 extending the Public
Health Emergency for another 30 days. The deli was re-opened on
September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a limited audience,
prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on September 22,
2020.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying December 31, 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Hometown International, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. All
intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(C) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates
include valuation of in-kind contribution of service and valuation
of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments
with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the
Company had no cash equivalents.
HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
(E) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon
the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB
ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during the period”. For December
31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, warrants were not included in the
computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is
anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for December
31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 excludes the common stock
equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities
because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

(F) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic
740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates
(federal 21% and state 9%) as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has a net operating
loss carry forward of approximately $736,336 and $628,084 available
to offset future taxable income through December 31, 2040. The
valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax
asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and
the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize approximately
$199,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will
expire through the year 2037 and approximately $537,000 of net
operating loss carryforwards that can be carry forward indefinitely
subject to limitation.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019 was an increase of $97,227 and $33,306,
respectively.
The company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2017-2020
remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service
through 2025.
(G) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or
amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold
improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment
is put into service.
(H) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606). The standard states that an entity should recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services.
The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenues
from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized
when sales occur.
(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in
accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments,
including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of
long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to
their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial
assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a
material impact on our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for
measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This
standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but
rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require
or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to
measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance
discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach
(comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of
future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace
the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance
utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad
levels. The following is a brief description of those three
levels:
|
● |
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level
2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either
directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by
us, which reflect those that a market participant would
use. |

NEW JERSEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
GRANT |
In June 2020, Your Hometown Deli, LLC executed the New Jersey
Economic Development Authority Grant Application required for
securing a Grant from the NJEDA Small Business Emergency Assistance
Phase 2 Grant assistance program in light of the impact of the
coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company’s business. In
connection therewith, Your Hometown Deli, LLC received a $1,000
Grant in July 2020, which does not have to be repaid. The amount is
included in “Other Income” in our consolidated statements of
operations.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company used cash in operations of $668,668, has an accumulated
deficit of $1,438,276, and has a net loss of $631,356 for the years
ended December 31, 2020.
On March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily closed the delicatessen
due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey.
Although the Stay at Home at Home Order has been lifted, on October
24, 2020, the Governor signed Executive Order No. 191
extending the Public Health Emergency for another 30 days. The deli
was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a
limited audience, prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on
September 22, 2020.
The Company experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued.
Even though the delicatessen has been re-opened, the Company may
have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic
condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate
sufficient revenues. The Company expects the growth rate and sales
to be volatile in the near term as the Company slowly regains its
customer base after reopening.
On April 14, 2020, the Company consummated a private offer and sale
of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash
proceeds to us of $2,500,000. On April 24, 2020, the Company fully
repaid the notes payable to Peter L. Coker, Jr., our Chairman, in
the principal amount of $285,126 and $46,978 of accrued interest.
The loans, which were paid in full, were repaid from the proceeds
of private placement. The Company plans to utilize the remainder of
the proceeds to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates
for the Company and to fund general corporate purposes. As of
December 31, 2020, we had approximately $1,398,000 of cash on hand,
and a cash burn rate of approximately $70,000 per month. Management
believes that the current working capital are sufficient to sustain
its current operations for the next 12 months. Management believes
that the actions taken in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic and
current working capital are sufficient to sustain its current
operations at its current spending levels for the next 12 months.
However, we are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of
operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with
the participation of the Company’s management, including the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as
of December 31, 2020 for the material weakness describe below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for
the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in
general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management
and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements, but because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. The
framework used by management in making that assessment was the
criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control –
Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on
this assessment, our management has concluded that our internal
controls were not effective as of December 31, 2020 for the
material weaknesses describe as follows: (i) lack of an independent
board of directors, (ii) our accounting personnel lack U.S. GAAP
expertise and (iii) lack of segregated duties.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the
Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not
subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls over financial reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred
during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31,
2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
