NOTE 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
(A) Organization
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited 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 Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018.
It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
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 was the year end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying March 31, 2018 and 2017, condensed 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.
7
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(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. The Company has 0 and 484,680 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants that were not included in the computation of dilutive March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(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.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected us, including a one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of the transition tax, deferred tax re-measurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.
8
(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 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance 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 guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard became effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018.
The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue 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. |
9
● | 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. |
(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions. The guidance in this Update supersedes Topic 840, Leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For public companies, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-02 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
(K) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(L) Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverages, and are stated at cost of $773.
(M) Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. These costs are included in direct operating & occupancy expenses and totaled $0 and $126 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 9 | GOING CONCERN |
As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $18,728 an accumulated deficit of $583,176 and has a net loss of $34,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The information set forth in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) expected changes in our revenue and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) our strategy for financing our business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or “expects”. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, liquidity, ability to complete financing and purchase capital expenditures, growth of our business including entering into future agreements with companies, and plans to successfully develop and obtain approval to market our product. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements.
Our revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural disaster, the inability of the company to insure against certain risks, inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates, and changing government regulations domestically and internationally affecting our products and businesses.
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

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 stores are 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 is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
16
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. Based on the Paulsboro unit’s performance, we may consider expanding the concept to other communities throughout the United States.
In October 2015, we closed a Regulation D Rule 506 offering in which we offered up to 300,000 units (the “Units”), consisting of one (1) share of Common Stock and two (2) warrants each to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Units were offered at a price of $0.75 per Unit and there was no minimum subscription requirement for the investors. Upon completion of the offering, we sold 242,340 Units. The warrants have expired as of December 31, 2017.
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 quarter ended March 31, 2018, we continued to refine our menu and operating hours. We have limited advertising using social media and direct mailing to residents in towns around our store. We expect our losses to continue as we continue to revise our menu and marketing plan to the local taste.
As reflected in the unaudited financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $18,728 and has an accumulated deficit of $583,176 and a net loss of $34,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. However, while we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect and our cash position may not be sufficient to support our daily operations. 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.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
We generated revenue of $8,635 and $16,115 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributed to the bad weather that ensured during the first quarter of 2018 which caused the delicatessen to either close or reduce the hours of operations. The total cost and expenses was $38,320 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $43,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We incurred loss from operations of $34,440 and $31,256 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease of $3,184 in loss from operations is mainly attributed to an increase in gross profit margin because of lower cost of goods sold and reduced labor costs, in addition to reduced costs of professional fees.
17
Due to the described factors above, we had a net loss of $34,440 and $31,256 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2018, we had total assets of $20,351, consisting of $18,864 in leasehold improvements, $773 in inventory and $714 in cash. Our liabilities as of March 31, 2018 were $322,243, which comprised of $127,473 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $25,025 due to certain officers, $83,468 in note payable due to related parties and $86,250 in note payable. As of March 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $320,756.
The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

We had a net increase of $8,779 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
We are dependent on the sales of product and services and receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement its plan of operations.
Going Concern
The Company used cash in operations of $18,728 and has an accumulated deficit of $583,176 and a net loss of $34,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. However, while we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect and our cash position may not be sufficient to support our daily operations. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any 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, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
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”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), 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. 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 upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of March 31, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reason described below.
19
Because of our limited operations, we have limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
20
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
None.
