−Removed: Accounting Policies
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
−Removed: the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
−Removed: statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
−Removed: the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily
−Removed: apparent from other sources.
−Removed: Significant estimates include:
−Removed: assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
−Removed: estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
−Removed: and assumptions used to value warrants issued in connection with notes payable;
−Removed: recognition of revenue;
−Removed: recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes.
−Removed: and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements
−Removed: in the period that they are determined to be necessary.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
−Removed: account for recorded intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”.
−Removed: In accordance
−Removed: with ASC 350, we do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
−Removed: Our goodwill and trademarks are deemed to have
−Removed: indefinite lives, and accordingly are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more often whenever
−Removed: changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The Accounting Standards Codification
−Removed: (“ASC”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level
−Removed: below an operating segment).
−Removed: Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting
−Removed: units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value.
−Removed: Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining
−Removed: appropriate discount rates and other assumptions.
−Removed: Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination
−Removed: of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.
−Removed: intangible assets include franchise agreements which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives
−Removed: of Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, we perform
−Removed: an analysis to review the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, which includes estimating the undiscounted cash
−Removed: flows (excluding interest charges) from the expected future operations of the asset.
−Removed: These estimates consider factors such as
−Removed: expected future operating income, operating trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors.
−Removed: If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized
−Removed: to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
−Removed: Any impairment losses are recorded as operating expenses,
−Removed: which reduce net income.
−Removed: revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s
−Removed: franchise agreements, as well as unearned vendor rebates
−Removed: the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
−Removed: for revenue recognition
−Removed: related to contracts with customers and applied the guidance modified retrospectively.
−Removed: Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized
−Removed: in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows:
−Removed: (1) identifying the contract with the customer;
−Removed: (2) identifying the
−Removed: performance obligations in the contract;
−Removed: (3) determining the transaction price;
−Removed: (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance
−Removed: and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: In applying this five-step
−Removed: model, we have made significant judgments in identifying the promised goods or services in our contracts with franchisees that
−Removed: are distinct, and which represent separate performance obligations.
−Removed: The change between Topic 605 and Topic 606, primarily impacted
−Removed: the way the Company recognized franchise fees.
−Removed: Under Topic 605 franchise fees were recognized upon opening of a restaurant or
−Removed: granting of a new franchise term at a point in time while under Topic 606 franchise fees are recognized on a straight-line basis
−Removed: over the life of the related franchise agreements and any exercised renewal periods.
−Removed: The impact of the adoption of Topic 606 resulted
−Removed: in an adjustment of $875,902 in accumulated deficit and deferred revenues.
−Removed: store revenue at Company operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discount
−Removed: and other sales related taxes.
−Removed: The Company recorded retail store revenues of $3,672,944 and $3,466,553 during the years ended
−Removed: December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct dormancy fees from outstanding gift card
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenues from gift cards as restaurant revenues once the Company performs its obligation to provide
