Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
November 30, 2015
Note 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations
Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013. The Company has not generated significant sales to date. The Company currently markets and sells traditional Hispanic beverages and ethnic food packaged products and will license and/or acquire existing brands and distributors of Hispanic products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying condensed financial statements and the information included under the heading Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K as of May 31, 2015. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year.
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company.
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or services are performed. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company's historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share based on the authoritative guidance. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of November 30, 2015, the convertible notes payable, which could be converted into 42,008 shares of common stock, was outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under the accrual method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2015, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value on the issuance date.
Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.

Note 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining an allowance for potential credit losses. Uncollectible accounts are written off at the time they are deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable is reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management's estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected. As of November 30, 2015 and 2014, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.
Recent Pronouncements
In May 2014, FASB and IASB issued a new joint revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that revenue recognition should depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2017, and the effects of the standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are not known at this time.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.
Note 2. | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
Sales and Accounts Receivable
During the six months ended November 30, 2015, sales to three customers accounted for approximately 82% of the Company's net sales. There were no customers with significant accounts receivable balances at November 30, 2015.
During the six months ended November 30, 2014, sales to two customers accounted for approximately 57% of the Company's net sales. Three customers accounted for approximately 95% of the receivable balance at November 30, 2014.

Note 10. BASIS OF REPORTING
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred losses from inception of approximately $692,000, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's plans to raise additional capital from the sales of stock and receiving additional loans from related parties. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

HISP has already begun to distribute fruit juices, nectars, and milk based products and intends to distribute teas, carbonated, drinks, dry goods, preserves, and bakery products. These brands emulate the flavors, tastes, and traditions which have been known for generations among the Hispanic and other ethnic groups which are now becoming part of the American mainstream diet.

In October 2013, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada” or “GN”), an entity related through common management. The agreement provides the Company with the right to sell and distribute Gran Nevada’s beverages in Texas and California with purchase prices at the then applicable wholesale prices charged to Gran Nevada’s distributors. The agreement is for an initial term of five years with automatic renewals of successive five year terms unless terminated. HISP initiated sales and distribution operations in March 2014.
Our principal executive offices are located at 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, New York NY 10022 and our telephone number is (866) 928-5070.
CURRENT OPERATIONS
Sales
HISP currently markets and sells traditional Hispanic beverages. The Company currently markets and sells traditional Hispanic and ethnic food packaged products and will license and/or acquire existing brands and distributors of Hispanic products. Brands sought by HISP and re primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, non-alcoholic beverages as well as all natural food products that are targeted towards Hispanic and ethnic-neutral consumers.

Production and Distribution
The Company buys prepackaged goods for distribution through various channels. The Company began distributing the beverage products of Gran Nevada in the third fiscal quarter of 2014. Gran Nevada is the sole manufacturer for the Company’s product line, and there are no alternate suppliers in the event that Gran Nevada or its suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide HISP with the products need to meet demand.
As of November 2015, Gran Nevada had eight SKUs that are manufactured in North America. Gran Nevada intends to expand to 13 SKUs by adding five new product lines of popular existing flavors in larger formats. HISP currently sells 70% of its products through distributors to grocery stores, which want larger containers for home consumption and food service markets rather than just the current eight single serve products. Ya Ya Foods will package the Horchata de Morro and Mexican Horchata one liter Tetra Pack cartons. Mrs. Clark’s has been selected to bottle GN’s Tamarind, Mango and Guava flavors in 64 ounce PET containers. The Gran Nevada products distributed are all-natural not-from-concentrate, preservative free Aguas Frescas (Mexican Horchata, Horchata de Morro, Tamarindo, Hibiscus, Mango, Guava, Pineapple, and Limeade). These products are geared towards the Hispanic market, but may appeal to almost any palate. An important part of HISP’s overall strategy will be expansion through the acquisition of distributors.
HISP has sales through several distributors and regularly seeks to broaden its distribution channels. The Company has engaged third party sales and marketing brokers in many area of the country. The Company also intends to sell directly to retailers, including large chain stores. Direct to retail, or Direct Store Delivery (DSD) enables manufacturers to offer better prices to retailers, which results in higher gross margins for retailers.
Intellectual Property
The Company is in the process of securing a trademark for its name and logo. HISP does not have a trademark for Hispanica International Delights of America as of November 2015.
Competition
As a distributor of Hispanic and ethnic packaged food products, the Company expects to have a portfolio of products that will not only include beverages. The main competitors of the Company include Goya Foods, Marquez Brothers International, Diaz Foods, La Fe Foods International, Grace Foods, as well as other regional ethnic food distributors. HISP will focus on selecting brands of all-natural packaged foods. Although some competitors are selling and distributing similar products, they use different packaging options and market foods that have high contents of artificial flavors, colors, and sweeteners as well high sodium contents. Additionally, our competitors import the majority of their distributed products, which are made with lower quality and price point raw materials. HISP will focus on distributing all-natural products as well as obtaining exclusive rights to brands that can be manufactured closer to its U.S. market base. HISP is committed to building long-term relationships with its consumers by offering superior, high quality products at the most competitive prices.
The packaged beverage market is highly competitive. Competitors in our market compete for brand recognition, ingredient sourcing, qualified personnel, distribution and product shelf space. As a developing company, a majority of our competitors are more established and better capitalized than HISP. The packaged beverage market is generally dominated by the largest beverage providers, including The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc. Many of our competitors enjoy significant brand recognition and consumer confidence and are able to readily secure shelf space and media attention for their products. Many of our competitors also have existing relationships with the same distribution channels and retailers through which we sell our products. We intend to compete in the market by offering consumers affordable products that taste better and possess a longer shelf life than most products in the market.
Government Regulation
Packaged beverage and juice products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As such, it is necessary for the Company to ensure its products distributed establish, maintain and make available for inspection, records and labels with nutrition information that meet legal food labeling requirements. The Company’s products are manufactured by contracted production facilities that are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.
16
Employees
As of November 30, 2015, the Company’s president was its sole employee. Other positions are being filled with independent contractors or insider owners who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation. The Company mitigates the need for a production staff by purchasing finished inventory. The Company has contracted with food brokers to represent Gran Nevada to retail stores nationally. In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies, which sell our products through their distribution channels. This can mitigate the need for a large sales and merchandising force. The Company also outsources its logistics to third-parties, which can reduce the need for employees in these roles.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Stamps Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company: until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirements to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.
GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION
Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $277,435 and $142,354 for the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, has limited revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding business opportunities. In September 2015, the Company completed a private financing transaction and issued its Secured Convertible Promissory Note ("Note") in the principal amount of $87,500 to a private lender, including an original issue discount of $7,500 and reimbursed fees of $5,000. The Note matures 23 months from the date of the Note. Under the terms of the Note, the Company can borrow from the lender a maximum of $225,000 in three tranches. In September 2015, the Company exercised its right to request the first tranche and received $75,000. The Note grants the lender the right to convert the outstanding balance owed on the tranches into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. However, in the event the Company's market capitalization falls below $20 million, the conversion price will equal the lower of $3.00 per share or the market price of the Company's common stock as of the conversion date.
At November 30, 2015, we had cash on hand of $35,998, and an accumulated deficit of $691,777. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheet, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods, are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructurings, inventory and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company received cash proceeds of $6,000 and $37,000, respectively, as a result of the Company’s sale of common stock. The Company utilized these funds for operations.
In September 2015, the Company received $75,000, net of $12,500 in financing costs under the terms of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note.
NET LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
The Company had a net loss of $251,623 for the three months ended November 30, 2015 as compared to $90,911 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the increase in professional fees from $76,690 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 to $108,566 for the three months ended November 30, 2015 and officer’s compensation which increased from $-0- for the three months ended November 30, 2014 to $127,700 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. Professional fees for the three months ended November 30, 2015 consisted of $67,566 paid in cash and $41,000 paid in the form of the Company’s common stock. Professional fees for the three months ended November 30, 2014 consisted of $19,472 paid in cash and $57,218 paid in the form of the Company’s common stock. The increase in officer’s compensation was the result of the Company having paid a sign-on bonus to the Company’s newly appointed president consisting of $125,200 paid in the form of the Company’s common and preferred stock and $2,500 in cash.
