CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2021

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.

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 6).

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 2,008,310 shares of common stock with grant date fair value of $ 2,028,393 (see Note 3).

In January 2022, the Company’s board of directors and management changed the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31^st to October 31^st, effective immediately (see Note 2).

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 consolidated financial statements of the Company and its active wholly owned subsidiaries, Home Bistro Holdings, Inc. and Model Meals LLC (acquired on July 6, 2021) for the period ending January 31, 2022. 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 fiscal year ending October 31, 2022.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Transition Report, due to our change in fiscal year end, on Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on January 31, 2022.

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 consolidated financial statements, for the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had net loss and cash used in operations of $2,896,336 and $1,432,527, respectively. At January 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity, and working capital deficit of $22,032,000, $4,247,562 and $533,318, 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 has primarily from the sale of common stock and the issuance of convertible debt notes. 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.

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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 include the assumptions used in the redemption recognition method for unredeemed gift cards, 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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the bank balance was in excess of FDIC insured levels by approximately $1,004,000 and $2,025,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through January 31, 2022.

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 January 31, 2022. 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).

HOME BISTRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2021

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 January 31, 2022:

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 Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase prices over the fair value of nets assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at a level of reporting referred to as the reporting unit, and more frequently if adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall company financial performance. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized up to a maximum amount of the recorded goodwill related to the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. There was no impairment loss of goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets for the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite life, 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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 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 to three 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. 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 $182,472 and $83,302 for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales.

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 $364,584 and $75,940, for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are presented on the accompanying unaudited 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 three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases using the method prescribed by ASC 842 – Lease Accounting. The Company assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception of a contract which is based on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates 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 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.

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2021

The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of January 31, 2022 and 2021 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.

Concentration Risk

The Company purchased approximately 100% of its food products from one vendor during the three months ended January 31, 2021. The Company is not obligated to purchase from these vendors and, if necessary, there are other vendors from which the Company can purchase food products. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had accounts payable balance of $10,554 to this vendor.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had two kitchen facilities located at Pembroke Pines, FL 33009 and Santa Ana, CA. The Company started producing and packaging its food products at these locations in addition to purchasing food products from other vendors which mitigated this concentration risk.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and edging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance. To further improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, amendments in ASU 2020-06 increased information transparency by making the following amendments to the disclosure for convertible instruments:

Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.

The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. Transactions that were settled (or expired) during prior reporting periods are unaffected. The cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. If an entity elects the fully retrospective method of transition, the cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 – ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

Acquisition of Model Meals

Model Meals, LLC (the “Model Meals”) was formed on May 1, 2015. Model Meals provides prepackaged and prepared meals as a solution for time-constrained but discerning consumers focused on satisfying every member of the family by offering a broad array of the highest quality meal planning, delivery, and preparation services. Products are customized meal solutions, delivered fresh directly to the home and utilizes third-party food delivery services to fulfill customers’ orders.

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered and closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the members of 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 2,008,310 shares of common stock with grant date fair value of $ 2,028,393 (see Note 1). The shares are subject to a 24-month Lockup and Leak-Out Agreement and were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The acquisition of Model Meals will allow the Company the ability to increase its customer base, geographic distribution area, and prepared meals available on its ecommerce sights.

Further, on August 12, 2021, the Company filed, in an amended current report Form 8-K/A, Model Meals’; (i) audited balance sheets and audited statement of operations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively,; (ii) balance sheet and statement of operations as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and; (iii) unaudited pro forma combined financial information derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Model Meals which gives effect to the Acquisition between the Company and Model Meals as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020 with respect to the unaudited annual pro forma combined statement of operation, and as of January 1, 2021 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 unaudited pro forma combined statement of operation, and as of March 31, 2021 with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets.

In connection with the Acquisition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The fair values are subject to adjustment during measurement period with subsequent changes recognized in earnings or loss. These estimates are inherently uncertain and are subject to refinement. Management develops estimates based on assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the business acquisition date. As a result, during the purchase price measurement period, which may be up to one year from the business acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. 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:

Goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 4 for additional information about other intangible assets. The recognized goodwill related to Model Meals is directly attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2021 have been prepared as if the acquisition of Model Meals had occurred as of the beginning of the period:

Pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events actually occurred at the beginning of the periods presented and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On July 6, 2021, the Company acquired Model Meals’ net assets with total fair value of $279,036, which includes computer software, customer relationships and trademarks, for a total consideration of $2,088,393 (see Note 3). The excess consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $1,809,357 was recorded as goodwill.

Asset Acquisition – License Agreement

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a licensing agreement (“License Agreement”) with a celebrity chef and majority member interest holder of Homemade Meals, LLC (“Homemade Meals”). As a condition to finalizing the License Agreement, the Company executed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Member Agreement”) and issued an aggregate of 2,266,667 shares of common stock issued to other members with an aggregate fair value of $2,969,334, valued based on the market price of common stock on the close date of October 25, 2021. The shares issued to the other members were consideration to terminate an exclusivity and non-compete agreement the celebrity chef had with Homemade Meals. The Company issued the celebrity chef 2,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $2,620,000, valued based on the market price of common stock on the close date of Company’s common stock. The Company’s primary reason for acquiring the membership interests in Homemade Meals was to terminate the non-compete agreement between the celebrity chef and Homemade Meals, thereby enabling the celebrity chef to execute the License Agreement with the Company. At the time of execution of the Member Agreement, Homemade meals held no significant assets and had no business operations, and the Member Agreement was solely executed to terminate the exclusivity and non-compete agreement the celebrity chef had with Homemade Meals. The Company recorded the shares given to the celebrity chef and the members of Homemade Meals has two separate transactions. 

The Company and the celebrity chef (collectively as “Parties”) had a preexisting relationship and other arrangements before negotiations for the acquisition of Homemade Meals and had planned to enter into a License Agreement during the negotiations, which is separate from the Member Agreement. Since ASC 805-50 includes only general principles related to accounting for an asset acquisition and in the absence of specific guidance, the Company analogized to the guidance in ASC 805-10-25-20 through 25-21– Business Combination to identify and account for transactions that are separate from a business combination. Under this guidance, the Company, when applying the acquisition method, recognized “only the consideration transferred to acquire the asset, the license. Any separate transactions were accounted for separately from acquisition of the License Agreement in accordance with the relevant GAAP.

Therefore, in accordance with ASC 805-10-25-21, the Company accounted for the 2,000,000 shares of common stock with fair value of $2,620,000, valued based on the market price of common stock on the acquisition date, issued to the celebrity chef as the cost of the License Agreement and was recorded as an intangible asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the three-year term of the License Agreement. In addition, the aggregate of 2,266,667 shares of common stock issued to other members with an aggregate fair value of $2,969,334, valued based on the market price of common stock on the acquisition date, was accounted for as compensation to terminate the exclusivity and non-compete agreement and was recorded as product development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded a total of $224,961 of amortization expense related to the intangible assets.

January 2021 Financing

The 114,000 shares of common stock and 114,000 warrant issued were valued at $59,468 and $21,004, respectively, using the relative fair value method, recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the twelve-month term of the note. The September 2021 Note II matures on August 1, 2022 and 10% of OID was applied on the issue date and will be payable on the maturity date. Upon an event of default, the outstanding balance will immediately and automatically increase to 140% of the outstanding balance under the September 2021 Note II immediately prior to the occurrence of the event of default and becomes immediately due and payable. The Company shall make nine monthly cash payments (“Amortization Payments”), in the amount of $30,556 due on the first day of each month, beginning December 1, 2021. If the first day of any calendar month is not on a business day, then the Company shall make monthly payments on the next business day. The investor may only convert the September 2021 Note II at any time or times on or after the occurrence of an event of default. The September 2021 Note II is convertible at the rate equal to 105% of the lowest trading price occurring during the twenty-five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date (“Conversion Price”). The September 2021 Agreements II contain other provisions, covenants, and restrictions common with this type of debt transaction. The September 2021 SPA II also provides the investor with certain “piggyback” registration rights, permitting them to request that the Company include the issued shares for sale in certain registration statements filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company paid $47,842 of principal and $13,270 of accrued interest. As of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the September 2021 Note II had outstanding principal of $202,158 and $250,000, respectively.

The September 2021 Warrant II, issued to the investor as commitment fee, provides for the right to purchase up to 114,000 shares of common stock; (i) valued at $21,004 using the relative fair value method and recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the twelve-month term of the note; (ii) has an exercise price of $2.50; (iii) subject to adjustments and 4.99%, ownership limitation and; (iv) expires on the fifth-year anniversary from the date of issuance.

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:

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.

Commitment Share True-Up Provision

The 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. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company fully repaid two of its convertible notes payable resulting in the reduction in the accrued True-up Shares amounting to $93,750. As of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Commitment Share True-up had an aggregate fixed monetary value of $115,938 and $209,688, respectively, which is reflected as liability to be settled with common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Liabilities Pursuant to Convertible Notes

In connection with the issuance of the 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.

At January 31, 2022, 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 $59,178 for the three months ended January 31, 2022.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the fair value of the derivative liabilities were estimated using the Monte Carlo Valuation Model with the following assumptions (see Note 2):

For the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, amortization of debt discounts related to the convertible notes amounted to $174,929 and $7,983, included as interest expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. At January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 the unamortized debt discount was $241,759 and $510,438, respectively.
