Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s
discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (annual report), which include additional information about our accounting
policies, practices, and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including various
claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply
our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts, circumstances, and actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the
estimates that affect our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience,
as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our
estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ
from these estimates. Our MD&A contains forward-looking statements that discuss, among other things, future expectations and projections
regarding future developments, operations, and financial condition. All forward-looking statements are based on management’s existing
beliefs about present and future events outside of management’s control and on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. If any
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected, or intended.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in expectations,
events or circumstances after the date of this Report is filed. Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively
as “Fast Casual” “the Company,” “we, “us” or “our” in the following discussion
and analysis.
Going
Concern
At
December 31, 2025, we had $10,127 in assets, $164,946 in liabilities and a $2,047,198 accumulated deficit. Our current liquidity resources
are not sufficient to fund anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these consolidated financial
statements were issued. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’ ability to continue as a going concern.
The
ability to continue Fast Casual’s operations depends on its ability to generate and grow revenue and results of operations as well
as our ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish strategic objectives. We expect to continue to incur losses for
the immediate future and will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from
operating activities. Our future capital requirements for operations will depend on many factors, including the ability to generate revenues
and obtain capital.
There
is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance
we will be successful in any of these goals.

expenses were $96,546 and $43,098 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $53,448, or approximately 124% increase
in operating expenses is mainly a result of the $27,219 increase in contract labor and $33,156 increase in professional fees, partially

from Operations
We
had operating losses of $30,846 and $43,054 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $12,252 decrease in loss
is mainly due to the $53,448 decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by a $65,700 increase in revenues during the year ended

Other
Income and Expenses

recognized total other income of $90,477 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $119,884 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The $29,407 decrease is mainly due to a $124,685 decrease in gain on extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2025,

Income from Continuing Operations
Net
income from continuing operations totaled $59,631 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $76,786 for the year
ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $17,155, or approximately 22%. The decrease in net income from continuing operations is mainly
due to the $29,407 decrease in other income during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year, partially offset by the
$12,252 decrease in loss from operations, as discussed above.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continuously evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations
and require our management’s subjective or complex judgment because of the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions and estimates
used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Accounts
Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts. Fast Casual does not provide any unusual contractual trade terms, sales incentive
programs or discounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are established for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers
to make required payments. Allowances are determined based on a review of specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful, as
well as an assessment of the collectability of total receivables. Receivables are written off against the allowance when it is determined
that the amounts will not be recovered.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Series Codification
(“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue
and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. Accordingly, we recognize revenue based on the allocation
of the transaction price to each performance obligation as each performance obligation in a contract is satisfied. We generated revenue
from continuing operations from the sale of digital marketing services during the year ended December 31, 2025. Revenue from discontinued
operations is from the specialty drink mix sales revenue and franchising rights sales during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Leases
Operating
lease liabilities represented the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represented rights to use an underlying
asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease
incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, incremental borrowing
rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term were estimated. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed,
operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
12
Long
Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. Fast Casual evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted
cash flows. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected
to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of long-lived
assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
record stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received
as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees
in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair
value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income
Tax
We
account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
