NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Home Bistro, Inc. (formerly known as Gratitude Health, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009. Effective March 23, 2018, the Company changed its name from Vapir Enterprises Inc. to Gratitude Health, Inc. On September 14, 2020, the Company changed its name from Gratitude Health, Inc. to Home Bistro, Inc. The Company is in the business of providing prepackaged and prepared meals to consumers focused on offering a broad array of the highest quality meal delivery, and preparation services. The Company’s primary former operations were in the business of manufacturing, selling, and marketing functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverages sold under the Company’s trademark (the “RTD Business”). The RTD Business was disposed on September 25, 2020 as discussed below.

On April 7, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the increase of authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (see Note 10).

On April 20, 2020, the Company, Fresh Market Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly created wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Home Bistro, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation formed on April 9, 2013, engaged in the food preparation and home-delivery business (presently known as Home Bistro Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation) and now wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Home Bistro Holdings”) (see Note 3), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into Home Bistro Holdings, with Home Bistro Holdings becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Home Bistro Holdings filed a Certificate of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 20, 2020 (see Note 3).

On April 20, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roy G. Warren, Jr., Mike Edwards, and Bruce Zanca resigned as directors of the Company and Roy G. Warren, Jr. resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The resignations were not the result of any disagreement related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Furthermore, on April 20, 2020, Mr. Zalmi Duchman, the Chief Executive Officer of Home Bistro Holdings, Michael Finkelstein and Michael Novielli were appointed as directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Duchman was appointed Chief Executive Officer.

The Merger constituted a change of control and the majority of the Board of Directors changed with the consummation of the Merger. The Company issued to the stockholders of Home Bistro Holdings shares of common stock and stock warrants which represented approximately 80% of the combined company on a fully converted basis after the closing of the Merger and approximately 51% of voting control. As a result of the above transactions and the Company’s intent to dispose or divest the assets and liabilities associated with the RTD Business, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange of Home Bistro Holdings. The consolidated financial statements are those of Home Bistro Holdings (the accounting acquirer) prior to the Merger and include the activity of the Company (the accounting acquiree) from the date of the Merger (see Note 3).

On September 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect (i) a 1 for 31.993 reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with fractional shares rounding up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (ii) the change of the Company’s name from “Gratitude Health, Inc.” to “Home Bistro, Inc.”. All share and per-share data and amounts have been retroactively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (see Note 3).

On September 14, 2020, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority approved the Company’s symbol change from “GRTD” to “HBIS”, effective twenty (20) business days from the approval date (see Note 3).

On September 25, 2020, the Company entered into, and closed the transactions contemplated by, that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Gratitude Keto Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Buyer” or “Gratitude Keto”), and the holder of 250,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (such stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”, and such stockholder, the “Stockholder”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer all of the Company’s business, assets and properties used, or held or developed for use, in its functional RTD Business, and the Buyer agreed to assume certain debts, obligations and liabilities related to the RTD Business. Furthermore, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer returned the 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Stockholder which was then cancelled by the Company upon return. As a result, the Company has no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Additionally, the RTD Business activities were reclassified and reported as part of “discontinued operations” for all periods presented on the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company assumed an accounts payable liability in the amount of $14,000 related to accounting expenses of the RTD Business for a period prior to the Merger. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer reimbursed the Company for the accounting expenses in amount of $14,000, of which $7,000 was payable in cash and the balance in form of a promissory note dated September 25, 2020 in the amount of $7,000. The promissory note bears an interest rate of 5% per annum, matures on April 25, 2021 and is payable in monthly installments of $1,000 commencing on October 25, 2020 through maturity (see Note 3).

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, food manufacturers, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. Additionally, the Company’s service providers and their operations may be disrupted, temporarily closed or experience worker or meat or other food shortages, which could result in additional disruptions or delays in shipments of Home Bistro’s products. To date, the Company has been able to avoid layoffs and furloughs of employees. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on the business if disruptions or delays in shipments of product occur. To date, the Company is not aware of any such disruptions. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for product and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. The Company has applied for and received certain financial assistance under the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted in March 2020 by the U.S. Government in response to COVID-19 (see Note 5).

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered and closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the members of Model Meals, LLC (“Model Meals”), acquiring Model Meals through a reverse triangular merger, whereby Model Meals merged with Model Meals Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Model Meals being the surviving entity (the “Acquisition”). As a result, Model Meals became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the members of Model Meals received and aggregate of 2,008,310 shares of common stock and were paid $60,000 in cash. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company issued on a pro rata basis, 2,008,310 shares of common stock equal to $2,000,000 divided by the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition (see Note 3).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, which present the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2021 consist of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and the related interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity deficit and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes, and reflect the acquisition of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Home Bistro Holdings and Model Meals which are fully disclosed in Note 3.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had net loss and cash used in operations of $3,733,490 and $2,167,244, respectively. At September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity, and working capital deficit of $10,066,879, $1,018,800 and $652,901, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company’s primary source of operating funds in 2021 was primarily from the third-party advances and convertible notes payable and sale of common stock through private placements. The Company has experienced net losses from operations since inception but expects these conditions to improve in the near term and beyond as it develops its business model.

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources are not currently adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include the assumptions used in the redemption recognition method for unredeemed gift cards, collectability of receivables and note receivable, value of inventory, useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions and derivative liabilities.

Cash

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the bank balance was in excess of FDIC insured levels by approximately $1,160,000 and $197,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2021. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, due from and to related parties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Assets or liabilities measured at fair value or a recurring basis included embedded conversion options in convertible debt (see Note 4) and were as follows at September 30, 2021:

HOME BISTRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

A roll forward of the level 3 valuation financial instruments is as follows:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 – Derivative and Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment, or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Inventory

Inventory consists of non-perishable food items distributed by the Company and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves are based on estimates and included in cost of sales. As of September 30, 2021, the inventory balances were insignificant and the Company determined that there was no allowance needed.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist of high quality, direct-to-consumer, ready-made meals that can be ordered by customers through www.homebistro.com, www.modelmeals.com and restaurant quality meats and seafood through its Colorado Prime Brand. Revenues from the Company’s ready-made meals are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and title has transferred, It is at this point in time that the Company’s performance obligations have been completed. Product sales are recorded net of any discounts or allowances and include shipping charges.

Customers can purchase gift cards via phone or online through the Company’s e-commerce website. Gift card purchases are initially recorded as unredeemed gift card liabilities and are recognized as product sales upon redemption. Historically, the majority of gift cards are redeemed within two years of issuance. The Company does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards, and its gift cards do not have an expiration date.

Based on historical redemption patterns, a portion of issued gift cards are not expected to be redeemed (breakage). The Company uses the redemption recognition method for recognizing breakage related to unredeemed gift cards for which it has sufficient historical redemption information. Under the redemption recognition method, breakage revenue is recorded in proportion to, and over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. The estimated breakage rate is based on historical issuance and redemption patterns and is re-assessed by the Company on a regular basis. At least three years of historical data, which is updated annually, is used to estimate redemption patterns. Breakage revenue is included in product sales and the Company recorded nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (see Note 7). Model meals, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, does not have sufficient historical redemption information to recognize breakage. Therefore, all issued gift cards are recorded as a liability upon issuance and revenue when used.

Cost of Sales 

The Company’s policy is to recognize product related cost of sales in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the product costs are incurred which is upon delivery of product. Cost of sales includes the food and processing costs directly attributable to fulfillment and the delivery of the product to customers including both inbound and outbound shipping costs. In addition, the royalty fee related to the Joint Product Development and Distribution Agreement (see Note 11) was also included in cost of sales.

Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipped to customers are included in cost of sales and amounted to $317,844 and $79,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 168,331 and $22,709 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales.

HOME BISTRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Advertising costs

The Company participates in various advertising programs. All costs related to advertising of the Company’s products are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were $520,776 and $135,520, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $330,803 and $50,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations as selling and marketing expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Operating and financing lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Operating and financing lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. 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. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable for stock options and stock warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

HOME BISTRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. The following were the computation of diluted shares outstanding and in periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSAL OF THE DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company and certain of its existing securityholders entered into an Exchange Agreement providing for, among other things, the exchange (the “Exchange”) of securities held by such securityholders for shares of common stock, as more fully detailed therein. As a result of the Exchange, all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and convertible notes were converted into an aggregate of 5,405,479 shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis, consisting of 1,364,222 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 4,041,258 shares of common stock. The 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by a former officer were cancelled on April 9, 2020 pursuant to a General Release Agreement and 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by a related party remained issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger.

After the Exchange, a total of 1,899,094 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 4,041,258 shares of common stock and 60,638 stock options were deemed issued and outstanding.

At the effective time of the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Home Bistro Holdings was converted into the right to receive approximately four hundred seventy-three (473) shares of common stock. Accordingly, the aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Merger to the former securityholders of Home Bistro Holdings is 24,031,453 shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis consisting of 17,105,139 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 6,926,314 shares of common stock.

On April 20, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roy G. Warren, Jr., Mike Edwards, and Bruce Zanca resigned as directors of the Company and Roy G. Warren, Jr. resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The resignations were not the result of any disagreement related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Furthermore, on April 20, 2020, Mr. Zalmi Duchman, the Chief Executive Officer of Home Bistro Holdings, Michael Finkelstein and Michael Novielli were appointed as directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Duchman was appointed Chief Executive Officer (see Note 1).

In connection with the Merger, certain Company stockholders entered into a Lock-Up and Leak-Out Agreement with the Company pursuant to which, among other thing, such stockholders agreed to certain restrictions regarding the resale of common stock for a period of two years from the date of the Merger Agreement, as more fully detailed therein.

Additionally, on April 20, 2020, the Company and a stockholder entered into a Put Option Agreement (see Note 11), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed, at the election of the stockholder, to purchase certain shares of common stock from such stockholder no sooner than two years from the date of the Put Option Agreement (the “Market Period”). Pursuant to the Put Option Agreement, in the event that the stockholder does not generate $1.3 million dollars (the “Total Investment”) in gross proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the second anniversary of the Put Option Agreement, then the stockholder has the right to cause the Company to purchase shares held by the stockholder at a price equal to the difference between the Total Investment and the net proceeds actually realized by the stockholder from shares of common stock sold during the Market Period and the number of shares of common stock held by the stockholder on the date the put right is exercised. The put right expires fourteen (14) days from end of the Market Period. In connection with the Put Option Agreement, the Company recorded an initial common stock repurchase obligation in the amount of $1.3 million, reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a long-term liability, Common stock repurchase obligation (see Note 11).

Effective April 20, 2020, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Home Bistro Holdings pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Home Bistro Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, for financial statement reporting purposes, the Merger between the Company and Home Bistro Holdings has been treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization with Home Bistro Holdings deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 805-10-55. At the time of the Merger, both the Company and Home Bistro Holdings had their own separate operating segments. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements after the Merger are those of Home Bistro Holdings and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Home Bistro Holdings. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of Home Bistro Holdings which are recorded at historical cost. The results of operations of the Company are consolidated with results of operations of Home Bistro Holdings starting on the date of the Merger Agreement. The equity of the consolidated entity is the historical equity of Home Bistro Holdings retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares deemed issued by the Company in the reverse acquisition. 

The Merger constituted a change of control and the majority of the Board of Directors changed with the consummation of the Merger. The Company issued to the stockholders of Home Bistro Holdings shares of common stock and stock warrants which represented approximately 80% of the combined company on a fully converted basis after the closing of the Merger. As a result of the above transactions and the Company’s intent to dispose or divest the assets and liabilities associated with the RTD Business as discussed below, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Home Bistro Holdings where Home Bistro Holdings is considered the historical registrant and the historical operations presented will be those of Home Bistro Holdings.

The following assets and liabilities were assumed in the Merger:

Disposal of Discontinued Operations of the RTD Business

On September 25, 2020, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s business, assets and properties used, or held or developed for use, in its functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverage segment (the “RTD Business”), and the Buyer agreed to assume certain debts, obligations and liabilities related to the RTD Business. The Company assumed an accounts payable liability in the amount of $14,000 related to accounting expense of the RTD Business for a period prior to the Merger. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer reimbursed the Company for accounting expenses in amount of $14,000 incurred prior to the Merger, of which $7,000 was payable in cash and the balance in form of a promissory note dated September 25, 2020 in the amount of $7,000. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, matures on April 25, 2021 and is payable in monthly installments of $1,000 commencing on October 25, 2020 through April 25, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, $5,000 remained due on the promissory note. The Company received the $7,000 cash portion of the consideration as of December 31, 2020. The $14,000 reimbursement was recorded to additional paid in capital as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” establishes that the disposal or abandonment of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. As a result, the component’s results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The results of operations of this component, for all periods, are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Asset Purchase Agreement, discussed above under Agreement and Plan of Merger, was intended to be part of the Merger and in effect transferred the RTD Business and the related assets and liabilities to Gratitude Keto, whose CEO, Roy Warren Jr., formerly served as the Company’s director and Chief Operating Officer and was considered a related party, in substance, in the accounting of this transaction. Therefore, the disposal of net liabilities and the reimbursement discussed above in connection with the disposal of the RTD Business was recorded to additional paid in capital as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

The following table set forth the selected financial data of the net liabilities recorded to additional paid in capital as of September 24, 2020.

In connection with the Acquisition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.

After the purchase price measurement period, the Company will record any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed in operating expenses in the period in which the adjustments may have been determined. Based upon the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

The Company uses the Binomial Valuation Model to determine the fair value of its stock warrants which requires the Company to make several key judgments including:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The Company’s computation of the expected life of issued stock warrants was based on the simplified method as the Company does not have adequate exercise experience to determine the expected term. The interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The computation of volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the stock warrants was estimated at issuance using the Binomial Valuation Model with the following assumptions: 

Commitment Share True-Up Provision

The Amended December Note I, Amended January Note I, January Note II, March Financings, April 2021 Financing and May 2021 Note I (collectively as “Notes”), as discussed above, included a Commitment Share True-Up provision whereby if during the period beginning on the six-month anniversary of the date of the closing date and ending on the later of (i) the maturity date, or (ii) the date on which the Notes, is fully satisfied and cancelled (the “True-Up Period”), the then lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) for any Trading Day within the True-Up Period (“Subsequent Share Price”), as reported on the Company’s principal market, is less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of each Note, then the Company shall, within three (3) trading days of holder’s provision of written notice in (“True-Up Notice”), issue and deliver to the holder an additional number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to (X) the quotient of the Commitment Value (as defined below) divided by the Subsequent Share Price, multiplied by 1.5, less (Y) the Commitment Shares. The “Commitment Value” shall mean the product of the Commitment Shares multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date of each Note. Any additional shares of Common Stock issuable as defined in the Notes (“True-up Shares”), if required to be issued shall be issued provided however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to receive shares of common stock in excess of the amount that would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at that time. For purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder. The Company shall at all times reserve shares of its Common Stock for Holder in an amount equal to 300% multiplied by (X) the quotient of the Commitment Value divided by the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the five Trading Days immediately preceding the respective date of calculation, multiplied by 1.5, less (Y) the Original Shares. At the inception of the respective Notes, the value of the true-up shares is based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception to be settled with a variable number of shares if triggered which reflects stock settled debt. Therefore, the Commitment Share True-up had an aggregate fixed monetary value of $224,563 which is reflected as liability to be settled with common stock in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Liabilities Pursuant to Convertible Notes

In connection with the issuance of the January 2021 Financings, March 2021 Financings, April 2021 Financing and May 2021 Financings , and September 2021 Financings (collectively referred to as “Notes”), the Company determined that the terms of the Notes contain an embedded conversion option to be accounted for as derivative liabilities due to the holder having the potential to gain value upon an event of default, which includes events not within the control of the Company. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 –Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion option contained in the convertible instruments were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion options was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model. At the end of each period and on note conversion date or repayment, the Company revalues the derivative liabilities resulting from the embedded option.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, in connection with the issuance of the Notes, on the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option of $223,358 was recorded as derivative liabilities and debt discount.

Additionally, in connection with the Notes, the Company issued an aggregate of 853,385 shares of common stock and an aggregate of 824,000 warrants as commitment fees (see Note 10). The Company also issued additional 133,250 warrants as commitment fees (see Note 10), in connection with a debt modification of the December Note II and January Note I. The common shares and warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were valued, in aggregate, at $575,480 using the relative fair value method and recorded as debt discount to be amortized over the term of the Notes.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

At September 30, 2021, the Company revalued the embedded conversion option derivative liabilities. In connection with these revaluations, the Company recorded a gain from the change in the derivative liabilities fair value of $232,641 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liabilities was estimated at issuance and at the September 30, 2021, using the Monte Carlo Valuation Model with the following assumptions:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, amortization of debt discounts related to the convertible notes amounted to $328,068 and $1,042,694, respectively, included as interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the unamortized debt discount was $537,916 and $305,524, respectively. 

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable is summarized below:

Minimum principal payments under notes payable are as follows:

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 8, 2020, the Company received federal funding in the amount of $14,612 through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP note bears an interest rate 0.98% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing six months after the effective date of the PPP note, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP note (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date can be extended to five years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the Company. The PPP note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP note, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP note. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. On April 28, 2021, the SBA authorized forgiveness of the outstanding principal balance of $14,612 and $142 of accrued interest payable of the Company’s PPP loan which has been recorded as a gain on debt forgiveness in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, the PPP note had no outstanding balance.
