UP TO 10,000,000 UNITS, EACH UNIT CONSISTING OF ONE (1) SHARE OF COMMON AND ONE (1) WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

This is a public offering (the “Offering”) of securities of Home Bistro, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). We are offering a maximum of $13,000,000 of securities (the “Maximum Offering”) pursuant to this Offering. We are offering up to 10,000,000 units (“Units”), each consisting of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock’) and one (1) warrant to purchase Common Stock (“Warrant”), at a minimum price of $0.65 per Unit and a maximum price of $1.30 per Unit. This Offering relates to an aggregate of 10,000,000 Units, consisting of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an aggregate of 10,000,000 Warrants, and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”, and together with the Units, the “Securities”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock, at a minimum exercise price of $1.00 per share and a maximum exercise price of $1.75 to be determined upon qualification, and unless previously exercised, each Warrant shall expire on a date which shall be 60 months following the date of completion of this Offering.

We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. Subscriptions are irrevocable and the purchase price is non-refundable as expressly stated in this offering circular (this “Offering Circular”).

State Law Exemption and Purchase Restrictions

Our Units are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Units offered hereby is offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Units are listed on a national securities exchange. “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Units do not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

To determine whether a potential investor is an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details.

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

Risk Factors

In the execution of our business strategy, our operations and financial condition are subject to certain risks. A summary of certain material risks is provided below, and you should take such risks into account in evaluating any investment decision involving the Company. This section does not describe all risks applicable to us and is intended only as a summary of certain material factors that could impact our operations in the industries in which we operate. Other sections of this Offering Statement contain additional information concerning these and other risks.

Risks Relating to Our Business Generally

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We had had net losses $1,241,661 and $199,061 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net cash used in operations was $273,817 and $30,244 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,333,389 on December 31, 2020. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months for the issuance date of this report.

Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve sufficient profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that our 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. The Company may seek to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings and generate sufficient revenues to fund its operations in the future.

The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accountant firm issued in connection with our audited consolidated financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Although management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, they do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue our business.

Our business strategy relating to the development and introduction of new products and services exposes us to risks such as limited customer and/or market acceptance and additional expenditures that may not result in additional net revenue.

An important component of our business strategy is to focus on new products and services that enable us to provide immediate value to our customers. Customer and/or market acceptance of these new products and services cannot be predicted with certainty, and if we fail to execute properly on this strategy or to adapt this strategy as market conditions evolve, our ability to grow revenue and our results of operations may be adversely affected. If we fail to successfully implement our business strategy, our financial performance and our growth could be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to successfully implement our business strategy, our financial performance and our growth could be materially and adversely affected.

Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part upon our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Implementation of our strategy will require effective management of our operational, financial and human resources and will place significant demands on those resources. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Offering Statement for more information regarding our business strategy. There are risks involved in pursuing our strategy, including the ability to hire or retain the personnel necessary to manage our strategy effectively.

In addition to the risks set forth above, implementation of our business strategy could be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as increased competition, legal developments, government regulation, general economic conditions, increased operating costs or expenses, and changes in industry trends. We may decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time. If we are not able to implement our business strategy successfully, our long-term growth and profitability may be adversely affected. Even if we are able to implement some or all of the initiatives of our business strategy successfully, our operating results may not improve to the extent we anticipate, or at all.

If we fail to successfully improve our customer experience, including the development of new product offerings and the enhancement of our existing product offerings, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, our business, financial condition and operating results, may be materially adversely affected.

Our customers have a wide variety of options for purchasing food, including traditional and online grocery stores and restaurants, and consumer tastes and preferences may change from time to time. Our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers and increase customer engagement with us will depend in part on our ability to successfully improve our customer experience, including by creating and introducing new product offerings and improving upon and enhancing our existing product offerings. If our new or enhanced product offerings are unsuccessful, including because they fail to generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify our investments in them, our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, new customer demands, tastes or interests, superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in our product quality or our ability to bring new or enhanced product offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our products and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our product offerings or business model.

Developing and launching new product offerings or enhancements to our existing product offerings involves significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to the reception of such product offerings by our existing and potential future customers, increases in operational complexity, unanticipated delays or challenges in implementing such offerings or enhancements, increased strain on our operational and internal resources (including an impairment of our ability to accurately forecast demand and related supply), inability to adequately support new offerings or enhancements with sufficient marketing investment and negative publicity in the event such new or enhanced product offerings are perceived to be unsuccessful. In addition, developing and launching new product offerings and enhancements to our existing product offerings may involve significant upfront capital investments and such investments may not prove to be justified. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers as well as our visibility into expected operating results, and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Food safety and food-borne illness incidents or advertising or product mislabeling may materially adversely affect our business by exposing us to lawsuits, product recalls or regulatory enforcement actions, increasing our operating costs and reducing demand for our product offerings.

Selling food for human consumption involves inherent legal and other risks, and there is increasing governmental scrutiny of and public awareness regarding food safety. Unexpected side effects, illness, injury or death related to allergens, food-borne illnesses or other food safety incidents (including food tampering or contamination) caused by products we sell, or involving suppliers that supply us with ingredients and other products, could result in the discontinuance of sales of these products or our relationships with such suppliers, or otherwise result in increased operating costs or harm to our reputation. Shipment of adulterated products, even if inadvertent, can result in criminal or civil liability. Such incidents could also expose us to product liability, negligence or other lawsuits, including consumer class action lawsuits. Any claims brought against us may exceed or be outside the scope of our existing or future insurance policy coverage or limits. Any judgment against us that is in excess of our policy limits or not covered by our policies or not subject to insurance would have to be paid from our cash reserves, which would reduce our capital resources.

The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or other food safety incidents could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs, disruptions in supply and a reduction in our sales. Furthermore, any instances of food contamination, whether or not caused by our products, could subject us or our suppliers to a food recall pursuant to the Food Safety Modernization Act of the FDA, and comparable state laws. The risk of food contamination may be also heightened further due to changes in government funding or a government shutdown. Our meat and poultry suppliers may operate only under inspection by the USDA. While USDA meat and poultry inspections are considered essential services, a government shutdown or lapse in funding may increase the risk that inspectors perform their duties inadequately, fail to report for work, or leave their positions without prompt replacement, potentially compromising food safety. Food recalls could result in significant losses due to their costs, the destruction of product inventory, lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for a period of time and potential loss of existing customers and a potential negative impact on our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers due to negative consumer experiences or as a result of an adverse impact on our brand and reputation.

In addition, food companies have been subject to targeted, large-scale tampering as well as to opportunistic, individual product tampering, and we could be a target for product tampering. Forms of tampering could include the introduction of foreign material, chemical contaminants and pathological organisms into consumer products as well as product substitution. Beginning in July 2019, FDA requirements require companies like us to analyze, prepare and implement “food defense” mitigation strategies specifically to address tampering designed to inflict widespread public health harm. If we do not adequately address the possibility, or any actual instance, of product tampering, we could face possible seizure or recall of our products and the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business depends on a strong and trusted brand, and any failure to maintain, protect or enhance our brand, including as a result of events outside our control, could materially adversely affect our business.

We have developed a strong and trusted brand, and we believe our future success depends on our ability to maintain and grow the value of the Home Bistro, Prime Chop and Colorado Prime brands. Maintaining, promoting and positioning our brand and reputation will depend on, among other factors, the success of our food safety, quality assurance, marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, could materially adversely affect our business. Brand value is based in large part on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incident that erodes the loyalty of our customers or suppliers, including adverse publicity or a governmental investigation or litigation, could significantly reduce the value of our brand and significantly damage our business.

We believe that our customers hold us and our products to a high food safety standard. Therefore, real or perceived quality or food safety concerns or failures to comply with applicable food regulations and requirements, whether or not ultimately based on fact and whether or not involving us (such as incidents involving our competitors), could cause negative publicity and lost confidence in our company, brand or products, which could in turn harm our reputation and sales, and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, in recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and other forms of Internet-based communications that provide individuals with access to broad audiences, and the availability of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate, as can be its impact. Many social media platforms immediately publish the content their participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. Furthermore, other Internet-based or traditional media outlets may in turn reference or republish such social media content to an even broader audience. Information concerning us, regardless of its accuracy, may be posted on such platforms at any time. Information posted may be adverse to our interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may materially harm our brand, reputation, performance, prospects and business, and such harm may be immediate and we may have little or no opportunity to respond or to seek redress or a correction.

The value of our brand also depends on effective customer support to provide a high-quality customer experience, which requires significant personnel expense. If not managed properly, this expense could impact our profitability. Failure to manage or train our own or outsourced customer support representatives properly could compromise our ability to handle customer complaints effectively.

Changes in macroeconomic conditions may adversely affect our business.

Economic difficulties and other macroeconomic conditions could reduce the demand and/or the timing of purchases for certain of our services from customers and potential customers. In addition, changes in economic conditions could create liquidity and credit constraints. We cannot assure you that we would be able to secure additional financing if needed and, if such funds were available, that the terms and conditions would be acceptable to us.

The effects of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) have negatively affected the global economy, the United States economy and the global financial markets, and may disrupt our operations and our clients’ and counterparties’ operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The effects of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus have negatively affected the global economy, the United States economy and the global financial markets, and may disrupt our operations and our clients’ and counterparties’ operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 United States now has the world’s most reported COVID-19 cases, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia have reported cases of individuals infected with COVID-19. All states have declared states of emergency. Similar impacts have been experienced in every country in which we do business. Impacts to our business could be widespread and global, and material impacts may be possible, including the following:

Furthermore, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees for the past several weeks, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has to an extent adversely affected their efficiency. In addition, the cancellation of in-person meetings and conferences has had an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition and has hampered the Company’s ability to meet with customers to promote products, generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms, which in turn has negatively impacted the Company’s cash flow and its ability to pay for certain professional services.

The COVID-19 pandemic also has the potential to significantly our supply chain, food manufacturers, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. Additionally, our 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 our products.

We are still assessing our business operations and system supports and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sectors in particular. To date, the Company has been able to avoid layoffs and furloughs of employees.

As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.

The further spread of the COVID-19 outbreak may materially disrupt banking and other financial activity generally and in the areas in which we operate. This would likely result in a decline in demand for our products and services, which would negatively impact our liquidity position and our business strategies. Any one or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ business, operations, consolidated financial condition, and consolidated results of operations.

A failure of our information technology or systems could adversely affect our business.

Our ability to deliver our products and services depends on effectively using information technology. We rely upon our information technology and systems, employees, and third parties for operating and monitoring all major aspects of our business. These technologies and systems and, therefore, our operations could be damaged or interrupted by natural disasters, power loss, network failure, improper operation by our employees, data privacy or security breaches, computer viruses, computer hacking, network penetration or other illegal intrusions or other unexpected events. Any disruption in the operation of our information technology or systems, regardless of the cause, could adversely impact our operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

A cybersecurity incident could result in the loss of confidential data, give rise to remediation and other expenses, expose us to liability under consumer protection laws, common law theories or other laws, subject us to litigation and federal and state governmental inquiries, damage our reputation, and otherwise be disruptive to our business.

The nature of our business involves the receipt, storage and use of personal data about our customers, as well as employees. Additionally, we rely upon third parties that are not directly under our control to store and use portions of that personal data as well. The secure maintenance of this and other confidential information or other proprietary information is critical to our business operations. To protect our information systems from attack, damage and unauthorized use, we have implemented multiple layers of security, including technical safeguards, processes, and our people. Our defenses are monitored and routinely tested internally and by external parties. Despite these efforts, threats from malicious persons and groups, new vulnerabilities, technology failures, and advanced attacks against information systems create risk of cybersecurity incidents. We cannot provide assurance that we or our third-party vendors or other service providers will not be subject to cybersecurity incidents, which may result in unauthorized access by third parties, loss, misappropriation, disclosure or corruption of customer, employee, or our information; or other data subject to privacy laws. Such cybersecurity incidents or delays in responding to or remedying damage caused by such incidents may lead to a disruption in our systems or business, costs to modify, enhance, or remediate our cybersecurity measures, liability under privacy, security and consumer protection laws or litigation under these or other laws, including common law theories, and subject us to enforcement actions, fines, regulatory proceedings or litigation against us, damage to our business reputation, a reduction in participation and sales of our products and services, and legal obligations to notify customers or other affected individuals about an incident, which could cause us to incur substantial costs and negative publicity, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and harm our business reputation.

As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices remain a priority for us. We may be required to expend significant additional resources in our efforts to modify or enhance our protective measures against evolving threats or to investigate and remediate any cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Our business is subject to changing privacy and security laws, rules and regulations, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and other state privacy regulations, which impact our operating costs and for which failure to adhere could negatively impact our business.

Our business is subject to various privacy and data security laws, regulations, and codes of conduct that apply to our various business units (e.g., Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards and Telephone Consumer Protection Act). These laws and regulations may be inconsistent across jurisdictions and are subject to evolving and differing (sometimes conflicting) interpretations. While we are using internal and external resources to monitor compliance with and to continue to modify our data processing practices and policies in order to comply with evolving privacy laws, relevant regulatory authorities could determine that our data handling practices fail to address all the requirements of certain new laws, which could subject us to penalties and/or litigation. Government regulators, privacy advocates and class action attorneys are increasingly scrutinizing how companies collect, process, use, store, share and transmit personal data. This increased scrutiny may result in new interpretations of existing laws as well as new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions, thereby further impacting our business. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), went into effect on January 1, 2020, and it applies broadly to information that identifies or is associated with any California household or individual, and compliance with the new law requires that we implement several operational changes, including processes to respond to individuals’ data access and deletion requests. Failure to comply with the CCPA may result in attorney general enforcement action and damage to our reputation. The CCPA also provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that may increase data breach litigation. We may also be exposed to litigation, regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions if the personal, confidential or proprietary information of our customers is mishandled or misused by any of our suppliers, counterparties or other third parties, or if such third-parties do not have appropriate controls in place to protect such personal, confidential or proprietary information. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the collection, use, dissemination and security of data. The obligations imposed by the CCPA and other similar laws that may be enacted at the federal and state level may require us to modify our business practices and policies and to incur substantial expenditures in order to comply.

We depend on our management team.

The Company’s future success primarily depends on the efforts of the existing management team, particularly, Zalmi Duchman, our Chief Executive Officer. Loss of the services of Mr. Duchman could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business prospects. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our employees or advisors. As sufficient funds become available, the Company intends to hire additional qualified personnel. Significant competition exists for such personnel and, accordingly, our compensation costs may increase significantly. The Company believes it will be able to recruit and retain personnel with the skills required for present needs and future growth, but cannot assure it will be successful in those efforts.

In order to be successful, we must attract, engage, retain and integrate key employees and have adequate succession plans in place, and failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract, engage, retain and integrate qualified executives and other key employees throughout all areas of our business. Identifying, developing internally or hiring externally, training and retaining highly skilled managerial and other personnel are critical to our future, and competition for experienced employees can be intense. Failure to successfully hire executives and key employees or the loss of any executives and key employees could have a significant impact on our operations. The loss of services of any key personnel, the inability to retain and attract qualified personnel in the future, or delays in hiring may harm our business and results of operations. Further, changes in our management team may be disruptive to our business, and any failure to successfully integrate key newly hired employees could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We face competition for staffing, which may increase our labor costs and reduce profitability.

We compete with other food and beverage services providers in recruiting qualified management, including executives with the required skills and experience to operate and grow our business, and staff personnel for the day-to-day operations of our business. These challenges may require us to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified management and other professionals. Difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified management and other professionals, or in controlling labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

We are or may become a party to litigation that could potentially force us to pay significant damages and/or harm our reputation.

We could be subject to certain legal proceedings, which potentially involve large claims and significant defense costs (see “Legal Proceedings”). These legal proceedings and any other claims that we may face in the future, whether with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, and divert the time, attention, and resources of our management. The coverage limits of our insurance policies may not be adequate to cover all such claims and some claims may not be covered by insurance. Additionally, insurance coverage with respect to some claims against us or our directors and officers may not be available on terms that would be favorable to us, or the cost of such coverage could increase in the future. Further, although we believe that we have conducted our operations in compliance with applicable statutory and contractual requirements and that we have meritorious defenses to outstanding claims, it is possible that resolution of these legal matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, legal expenses associated with the defense of these matters may be material to our results of operations in a particular financial reporting period.

Third parties may infringe on our brands, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, which may have an adverse impact on our business.

We currently rely on a combination of trademark and other intellectual property laws and confidentiality procedures to establish and protect our proprietary rights, including our brands. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, the value of our brands, services and products could be diminished and our business may suffer. Our precautions may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property.

We may not be able to discover or determine the extent of any unauthorized use or infringement or violation of our intellectual property or proprietary rights. Third parties also may take actions that diminish the value of our proprietary rights or our reputation. The protection of our intellectual property may require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Moreover, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may not adequately protect our proprietary rights or prevent third parties from continuing to infringe or misappropriate these rights. We also cannot be certain that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology or other intellectual property rights, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, result in a diversion of resources, the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. These steps may be inadequate to protect our intellectual property. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to use information that we regard as proprietary to create product offerings that compete with ours

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims.

Third parties may make claims against us alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property claims, regardless of merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could significantly divert management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, if we were unable to successfully defend against such claims, we may have to pay damages, stop selling the service or product or stop using the software, technology or content found to be in violation of a third party’s rights, seek a license for the infringing service, product, software, technology or content or develop alternative non-infringing services, products, software, technology or content. If we cannot license on reasonable terms, develop alternatives or stop using the service, product, software, technology or content for any infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our service and product offerings. Any of these results could reduce our revenue and our ability to compete effectively, increase our costs or harm our business.

Damage to our reputation could harm our business, including our competitive position and business prospects.

Our ability to attract and retain customers and employees is impacted by our reputation. Harm to our reputation can arise from various sources, including employee misconduct, cyber security breaches, unethical behavior, litigation or regulatory outcomes, which could, among other consequences, increase the size and number of litigation claims and damages asserted or subject us to enforcement actions, fines and penalties and cause us to incur related costs and expenses.

We rely on third parties to provide us with adequate food supply, freight and fulfillment and Internet and networking services, the loss or disruption of any of which could cause our revenue, earnings or reputation to suffer.

We rely on third-party manufacturers to supply all of the food and other products we sell as well as packaging materials. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantity, quality and variety of food, other products and packaging materials in a timely and low-cost manner from our manufacturers, we will be unable to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner, which may cause us to lose revenue and market share or incur higher costs, as well as damage the value of our brands.

Currently, all of our order fulfillment is handled by one third-party provider. Also, almost all of our direct to consumer customer orders are shipped by one third-party provider and almost all of our orders for retail programs are shipped by another third-party provider. Should these providers be unable to service our needs for even a short duration, our revenue and business could be adversely affected. Additionally, the cost and time associated with replacing these providers on short notice would add to our costs. Any replacement fulfillment provider would also require startup time, which could cause us to lose sales and market share.

Our business also depends on a number of third parties for Internet access and networking, and we have limited control over these third parties. Should our network connections go down, our ability to fulfill orders would be delayed. Further, if our websites or call center become unavailable for a noticeable period of time due to Internet or communication failures, our business could be adversely affected, including harm to our brands and loss of sales.

Therefore, we are dependent on these third parties. The services we require from these parties may be disrupted by a number of factors, including the following:

Further, if a regional or global health epidemic or pandemic occurs, such as COVID-19, depending upon its location, duration and severity, our business could be severely affected. A regional or global health epidemic or pandemic might also adversely affect our business by disrupting the operations of our call center, creating negative popular sentiment among consumers of delivered food, or by disrupting or delaying our third-party providers’ ability to, among other things (i) supply the products that we sell, as well as packaging materials, (ii) fulfill segment customer orders and (iii) provide internet and networking services.

Our ability to source quality ingredients and other products is critical to our business, and any disruption to our supply or supply chain could materially adversely affect our business.

We depend on frequent deliveries of ingredients and other products from a variety of local, regional, national and international suppliers, and some of our suppliers may depend on a variety of other local, regional, national and international suppliers to fulfill the purchase orders we place with them. The availability of such ingredients and other products at competitive prices depends on many factors beyond our control, including the number and size of farms, ranches and other suppliers that provide crops, livestock and other raw materials that meet our quality and production standards.

We rely on our suppliers, and their supply chains, to meet our quality and production standards and specifications and supply ingredients and other products in a timely and safe manner. We have developed and implemented a series of measures to ensure the safety and quality of our third party-supplied products, including using contract specifications, certificates of identity for some products or ingredients, sample testing by suppliers and sensory based testing. However, no safety and quality measures can eliminate the possibility that suppliers may provide us with defective or out-of-specification products against which regulators may take action or which may subject us to litigation or require a recall. Suppliers may provide us with food that is or may be unsafe, food that is below our quality standards or food that is improperly labeled. In addition to a negative customer experience, we could face possible seizure or recall of our products and the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions if we incorporate a defective or out-of-specification item into one of our deliveries.

Furthermore, there are many factors beyond our control which could cause shortages or interruptions in the supply of our ingredients and other products, including adverse weather, environmental factors, natural disasters, unanticipated demand, labor or distribution problems, changes in law or policy, food safety issues by our suppliers and their supply chains, and the financial health of our suppliers and their supply chains. Production of the agricultural products used in our business may also be materially adversely affected by drought, water scarcity, temperature extremes, scarcity of agricultural labor, changes in government agricultural programs or subsidies, import restrictions, scarcity of suitable agricultural land, crop conditions, crop or animal diseases or crop pests. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential effect of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, particularly in circumstances where an ingredient or product is sourced from a single supplier or location.

In addition, unexpected delays in deliveries from suppliers that ship directly to our fulfillment centers or increases in transportation costs (including through increased fuel costs) could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Labor shortages or work stoppages in the transportation industry, long-term disruptions to the national transportation infrastructure, reduction in capacity and industry-specific regulations such as hours-of-service rules that lead to delays or interruptions of deliveries could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in food costs and availability could materially adversely affect our business.

The future success of our business depends in part on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in food and supply costs and availability. We are susceptible to increases in food costs as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, market changes, increased competition, general risk of inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, seasonal fluctuations, shortages or interruptions, weather conditions, changes in global climates, global demand, food safety concerns, generalized infectious diseases, changes in law or policy, declines in fertile or arable lands, product recalls and government regulations. In particular, deflation in food prices could reduce the attractiveness of our product offerings relative to competing products and thus impede our ability to maintain or increase overall sales, while food inflation, particularly periods of rapid inflation, could reduce our operating margins as there may be a lag between the time of the price increase and the time at which we are able to increase the price of our product offerings. We generally do not have long-term supply contracts or guaranteed purchase commitments with our food suppliers, and we do not hedge our commodity risks. In limited circumstances, we may enter into strategic purchasing commitment contracts with certain suppliers, but many of these contracts are relatively short in duration and may provide only limited protection from price fluctuations, and the use of these arrangements may limit our ability to benefit from favorable price movements. As a result, we may not be able to anticipate, react to or mitigate against cost fluctuations which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Any increase in the prices of the ingredients most critical to our recipes, or scarcity of such ingredients, such as vegetables, poultry, beef, pork and seafood, would adversely affect our operating results. Alternatively, in the event of cost increases or decrease of availability with respect to one or more of our key ingredients, we may choose to temporarily suspend including such ingredients in our recipes, rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients. Any such changes to our available recipes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Any failure to adequately store, maintain and deliver quality perishable foods could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our ability to adequately store, maintain and deliver quality perishable foods is critical to our business. We store food products, which are highly perishable, in refrigerated fulfillment centers and ship them to our customers inside boxes that are insulated with thermal or corrugate liners and frozen refrigerants to maintain appropriate temperatures in transit. Keeping our food products at specific temperatures maintains freshness and enhances food safety. In the event of extended power outages, natural disasters or other catastrophic occurrences, failures of the refrigeration systems in our fulfillment centers or third party delivery trucks, failure to use adequate packaging to maintain appropriate temperatures, or other circumstances both within and beyond our control, our inability to store highly perishable inventory at specific temperatures could result in significant product inventory losses as well as increased risk of food-borne illnesses and other food safety risks. Improper handling or storage of food by a customer—without any fault by us—could result in food-borne illnesses, which could nonetheless result in negative publicity and harm to our brand and reputation. Further, we contract with third parties to conduct certain fulfillment processes and operations on our behalf. Any failure by such third party to transport perishable foods within reasonable time could negatively impact the safety, quality and merchantability of our products and the experience of our customers. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Even inadvertent, non-negligent or unknowing violations of federal, state or local regulatory requirements could expose us to adverse governmental action and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), which governs the shipment of foods in interstate commerce, generally does not distinguish between intentional and unknowing, non-negligent violations of the law’s requirements. Most state and local laws operate similarly. Consequently, almost any deviation from subjective or objective requirements of the FDCA or state or local law leaves us vulnerable to a variety of civil and criminal penalties. In the future, we may deploy new equipment, update our facilities or occupy new facilities. These activities require us to adjust our operations and regulatory compliance systems to meet rapidly changing conditions. Although we have adopted and implemented systems to prevent the production of unsafe or mislabeled products, any failure of those systems to prevent or anticipate an instance or category of deficiency could result in significant business interruption and financial losses to us. The occurrence of events that are difficult to prevent completely, such as the introduction of pathogenic organisms from the outside environment into our facilities, also may result in the failure of our products to meet legal standards. Under these conditions we could be exposed to civil and criminal regulatory action.

In some instances, we may be responsible or held liable for the activities and compliance of our third party vendors and suppliers, despite limited visibility into their operations. Although we monitor and carefully select our third-party vendors and suppliers, they may fail to adhere to regulatory standards, our safety and quality standards or labor and employment practices, and we may fail to identify deficiencies or violations on a timely basis or at all. In addition, a statute in California called the Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires us to audit our suppliers with respect to certain risks related to slavery and human trafficking and to mitigate any such risks in our operations, and any failure to disclose issues or other non-compliance could subject us to action by the California Attorney General.

We cannot assure you that we will always be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations or that we will be able to comply with any future laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Packaging, labeling and advertising requirements are subject to varied interpretation and selective enforcement.

We operate under a novel business model in which we source, process, store and package fully prepared meals and ship them directly to consumers. Most FDA requirements for mandatory food labeling are decades old and were adopted prior to the advent of large-scale, direct-to-consumer food sales and e-commerce platforms. Consequently, we, like our competitors, must make judgments regarding how best to comply with labeling and packaging regulations and industry practices not designed with our specific business model in mind. Government regulators may disagree with these judgments, leaving us open to civil or criminal enforcement action. This could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to detailed and complex requirements for how our products may be labeled and advertised, which may also be supplemented by guidance from governmental agencies. Generally speaking, these requirements divide information into mandatory information that we must present to consumers and voluntary information that we may present to consumers. Packaging, labeling, disclosure and advertising regulations may describe what mandatory information must be provided to consumers, where and how that information is to be displayed physically on our materials or elsewhere, the terms, words or phrases in which it must be disclosed, and the penalties for non-compliance.

Voluntary statements made by us or by certain third parties, whether on package labels or labeling, on websites, in print, in radio, on social media channels, or on television, can be subject to FDA regulation, FTC regulation, USDA regulation, state and local regulation, or any combination of the foregoing. These statements may be subject to specific requirements, subjective regulatory evaluation, and legal challenges by plaintiffs. FDA, FTC, USDA and state- and local-level regulations and guidance can be confusing and subject to conflicting interpretations. Guidelines, standards and market practice for, and consumers’ understandings of, certain types of voluntary statements, such as those characterizing the nutritional and other attributes of food products, continue to evolve rapidly, and regulators may attempt to impose civil or criminal penalties against us if they disagree with our approach to using voluntary statements. Furthermore, in recent years the FDA has increased enforcement of its regulations with respect to nutritional, health and other claims related to food products, and plaintiffs have commenced legal actions against a number of companies that market food products positioned as “natural” or “healthy,” asserting false, misleading and deceptive advertising and labeling claims, including claims related to such food being “all natural” or that they lack any genetically modified ingredients. Should we become subject to similar claims or actions, consumers may avoid purchasing products from us or seek alternatives, even if the basis for the claim is unfounded, and the cost of defending against any such claims could be significant. The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our industry is highly competitive. If any of our competitors or a new entrant into the market with significant resources has products similar to ours, our business could be significantly affected.

Competition is intense in the meal delivery services industry and the beverage industry and we must remain competitive in the areas of program efficacy, price, taste, customer service and brand recognition. Some of our competitors are significantly larger than we are and have substantially greater resources. Our business could be adversely affected if someone with significant resources decided to imitate our services or products. Any increased competition from new entrants into our segments’ industry or any increased success by existing competition could result in reductions in our sales or prices, or both, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

If we do not continue to receive referrals from existing customers, our customer acquisition cost may increase.

We rely on word-of-mouth advertising for a portion of our new customers. If our brands suffer or the number of customers acquired through referrals drops due to other circumstances, our costs associated with acquiring new customers and generating revenue will increase, which will, in turn, have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Changes in customer preferences could negatively impact our operating results.

Our programs feature gourmet online meal delivery service selections, which we believe offer convenience and value to our customers. Our continued success depends, to a large degree, upon the continued popularity of our programs versus various other food services. Changes in customer tastes and preferences away from our ready-to-go food, and any failure to provide innovative responses to these changes, may have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our success is also dependent on our food innovation including maintaining a robust array of food items and improving the quality of existing items. If we do not continually expand our food items or provide customers with items that are desirable in taste and quality, our business could be adversely impacted.

The industry in which we operate is subject to governmental regulation that could increase in severity and hurt results of operations.

The industry in which we operate is subject to federal, state and other governmental regulation. Certain federal and state agencies, such as the FTC, regulate and enforce such laws relating to advertising, disclosures to customers, privacy, customer pricing and billing arrangements and other customer protection matters. A determination by a federal or state agency, or a court, that any of our practices do not meet existing or new laws or regulations could result in liability, adverse publicity and restrictions on our business operations.

Other aspects of the industry in which we operate are also subject to government regulation. For example, the manufacturing, labeling and distribution of food products are subject to strict USDA and FDA requirements and food manufacturers are subject to rigorous inspection and other requirements of the USDA and FDA, and companies operating in foreign markets must comply with those countries’ requirements for proper labeling, controls on hygiene, food preparation and other matters. Additionally, remedies available in any potential administrative or regulatory actions may include product recalls and requiring us to refund amounts paid by all affected customers or pay other damages, which could be substantial.

Laws and regulations directly applicable to communications, operations or commerce over the Internet such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation, are becoming more prevalent and some remain unsettled. If we are required to comply with new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, or if we are unable to comply with these laws, regulations or interpretations, our business could be adversely affected.

Future laws or regulations, including laws or regulations affecting our marketing and advertising practices, relations with customers, employees, service providers, or our services and products, may have an adverse impact on us.

Disruptions in our data and information systems could harm our reputation and our ability to run our business.

We rely extensively on data and information systems for our supply chain, order processing, fulfillment operations, financial reporting, human resources and various other operations, processes and transactions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the communications between, and storage of personal data of, our personnel, customers and suppliers depend on information technology. Our data and information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches (including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that could result in the compromise of confidential customer data), catastrophic events, data breaches and usage errors by our employees or third-party service providers. Our data and information technology systems may also fail to perform as we anticipate, and we may encounter difficulties in adapting these systems to changing technologies or expanding them to meet the future needs of our business. If our systems are breached, damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace them, suffer interruptions in our operations, incur liability to our customers and others or face costly litigation, and our reputation with our customers may be harmed. We also rely on third parties for a majority of our data and information systems, including for third party hosting and payment processing. If these facilities fail, or if they suffer a security breach or interruption or degradation of service, a significant amount of our data could be lost or compromised and our ability to operate our business and deliver our product offerings could be materially impaired. In addition, various third parties, such as our suppliers and payment processors, also rely heavily on information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could also cause loss of sales, transactional or other data and significant interruptions to our business. Any material interruption in the data and information technology systems we rely on, including the data or information technology systems of third parties, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business is subject to data security risks, including security breaches.

We, or our third-party vendors on our behalf, collect, process, store and transmit substantial amounts of information, including information about our customers. We take steps to protect the security and integrity of the information we collect, process, store or transmit, but there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information despite such efforts. Security breaches, computer malware, computer hacking attacks and other compromises of information security measures have become more prevalent in the business world and may occur on our systems or those of our vendors in the future. Large Internet companies and websites have from time to time disclosed sophisticated and targeted attacks on portions of their websites, and an increasing number have reported such attacks resulting in breaches of their information security. We and our third-party vendors are at risk of suffering from similar attacks and breaches. Although we take steps to maintain confidential and proprietary information on our information systems, these measures and technology may not adequately prevent security breaches and we rely on our third-party vendors to take appropriate measures to protect the security and integrity of the information on those information systems. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage information systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us, we may be unable to anticipate or prevent these attacks. In addition, a party who is able to illicitly obtain a customer’s identification and password credentials may be able to access the customer’s account and certain account data.

Any actual or suspected security breach or other compromise of our security measures or those of our third party vendors, whether as a result of hacking efforts, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering or otherwise, could harm our reputation and business, damage our brand and make it harder to retain existing customers or acquire new ones, require us to expend significant capital and other resources to address the breach, and result in a violation of applicable laws, regulations or other legal obligations. Our insurance policies may not be adequate to reimburse us for direct losses caused by any such security breach or indirect losses due to resulting customer attrition.

We rely on email and other messaging services to connect with our existing and potential customers. Our customers may be targeted by parties using fraudulent spoofing and phishing emails to misappropriate passwords, payment information or other personal information or to introduce viruses through Trojan horse programs or otherwise through our customers’ computers, smartphones, tablets or other devices. Despite our efforts to mitigate the effectiveness of such malicious email campaigns through product improvements, spoofing and phishing may damage our brand and increase our costs. Any of these events or circumstances could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

As a public company, we are required to comply with the rules of the SEC implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting. We are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis and to make annual assessments of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. As an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm, and management, may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we have undertaken various actions, and may need to take additional actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. Additionally, when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting once we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Common Stock could be materially adversely affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Units, Our Common Stock, Our Warrants, the Warrant Shares and this Offering

There is currently a limited public market for our Common Stock, a trading market for our Common Stock may never develop, and our common stock prices may be volatile and could decline substantially.

Although our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets, under the symbol “HBIS”, there has been no material public market for our Common Stock. In these marketplaces, our stockholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of their shares of our Common Stock, and may find few buyers to purchase their stock and few market makers to support its price. As a result of these and other factors, investors may be unable to resell shares of our Common Stock at or above the price for which they purchased them, at or near quoted bid prices, or at all. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling additional equity in the future, and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or products by using shares of our Common Stock as consideration.

Moreover, there can be no assurance that any stockholders will sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock and there may initially be a lack of supply of, or demand for, our Common Stock. In the case of a lack of supply for our Common Stock, the trading price of our Common Stock may rise to an unsustainable level, particularly in instances where institutional investors may be discouraged from purchasing our Common Stock because they are unable to purchase a block of shares in the open market due to a potential unwillingness of our stockholders to sell the amount of shares at the price offered by such investors and the greater influence individual investors have in setting the trading price. In the case of a lack of demand for our Common Stock, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline significantly and rapidly at any time.

We intend to list shares of our Common Stock on a national securities exchange in the future, but we do not now, and may not in the future, meet the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange, which is often a more widely-traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our Common Stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our Common Stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our Common Stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our Common Stock listed. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges, or our Common Stock is otherwise rejected for listing, and remains listed on the OTC Pink Sheets or is suspended from the OTC Pink Sheets, the trading price of our Common Stock could suffer and the trading market for our Common Stock may be less liquid and our Common Stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

Therefore, an active, liquid, and orderly trading market for our Common Stock may not initially develop or be sustained, which could significantly depress the public price of our Common Stock and/or result in significant volatility, which could affect your ability to sell your Common Stock. Even if an active trading market develops for our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock.

There is no public trading market for the Units or Warrants.

While the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets, prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for shares of our Units or Warrants. There is no guarantee we will ever be able to have our Units or Warrants approved for trading on the OTC Market or ultimately listed on a national securities exchange, such as Nasdaq or the NYSE. If our Units or Warrants are not approved for quotation on the OTC Market, such securities may only trade on the over-the-counter “pink sheets.” In any such event, an active trading market may not develop following completion of this Offering, or if developed, may not be maintained.

Our CEO has significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other stockholders.

Stockholders have limited ability to exercise control over the Company’s daily business affairs and implement changes in its policies because management beneficially owns a majority of the current shares of Common Stock. As of January 31, 2021, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zalmi Duchman beneficially owns 46.4% of the Common Stock. (See “Security Ownership of Management & Certain Security Holders”). As directors and officers of the Company, the Company’s management team has a fiduciary duty to the Company and must act in good faith in the manner it reasonably believes to be in the best interest of its stockholders. As stockholders, the management team is entitled to vote its shares in its own interest, which may not always be in the best interest of the stockholders.

We are not subject to the rules of a national securities exchange requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures and, as a result, our stockholders do not have the same protections.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets and we are not subject to the rules of a national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. National securities exchanges generally require more rigorous measures relating to corporate governance designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management. The requirements of the OTC Pink Sheets afford our stockholders fewer corporate governance protections than those of a national securities exchange. Until we comply with such greater corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, our stockholders will have fewer protections such as those related to director independence, stockholder approval rights and governance measures designed to provide board oversight of management.

Our Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

As an issuer of a “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

Our Common Stock prices may be volatile which could cause the value of an investment in our Common Stock to decline.

The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. The public price of our Common Stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to the risk factors described in this Offering Statement and others beyond our control, including:

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Because we are a “smaller reporting company,” we will not be required to comply with certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. As a smaller reporting company we are eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, including, but not limited to:

We will remain a smaller reporting company until the end of the fiscal year in which (1) we have a public common equity float of more than $250 million, or (2) we have annual revenues for the most recently completed fiscal year of more than $100 million plus we have any public common equity float or public float of more than $700 million. We also would not be eligible for status as smaller reporting company if we become an investment company, an asset-backed issuer or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends to the holders of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future and the availability and timing of future cash dividends, if any, is uncertain.

We expect to use cash flow from future operations to support the growth of our business and do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors will determine the amount and timing of stockholder dividends, if any, that we may pay in future periods. In making this determination, our directors will consider all relevant factors, including the amount of cash available for dividends, capital expenditures, covenants, prohibitions or limitations with respect to dividends, applicable law, general operational requirements and other variables. We cannot predict the amount or timing of any future dividends you may receive, and if we do commence the payment of dividends, we may be unable to pay, maintain or increase dividends over time. Therefore, you may not be able to realize any return on your investment in our Common Stock for an extended period of time, if at all.

Future sales of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, may depress our share price, and any additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible securities may dilute your ownership in us.

We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities. We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock (none of which are issued and outstanding) with such designations, preferences and rights as determined by our board of directors. The potential issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock will result in the dilution of the ownership interests of the holders of our Common Stock and may create downward pressure on the trading price, if any, of our Common Stock.

The exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities, including for other securities, will dilute the percentage ownership of our stockholders. The dilutive effect of the exercise or conversion of these securities may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital. The holders of these securities may be expected to exercise or convert such securities at a time when we would be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable than such securities or when our Common Stock is trading at a price higher than the exercise or conversion price of the securities. The exercise or conversion of outstanding securities will have a dilutive effect on the securities held by our stockholders. We have in the past, and may in the future, exchange outstanding securities for other securities on terms that are dilutive to the securities held by other stockholders not participating in such exchange.

We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Common Stock.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our Common Stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events, or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might grant to holders of preferred stock could affect the value of the Common Stock.

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer a smaller reporting company. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.

Pursuant to Section 404, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting, including an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will be engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude within the prescribed timeframe that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

We will continue to incur significant costs in staying current with reporting requirements. Our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives. Additionally, the lack of an internal audit group may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and ability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders.

Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance initiatives to maintain reporting status. Moreover, these rules and regulations, which are necessary to remain as a public reporting company, will be costly because external third party consultant(s), attorneys, or other firms may have to assist us in following the applicable rules and regulations for each filing on behalf of the company

We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we may eventually need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge to have effective internal controls for financial reporting. Additionally, due to the fact that our officers and directors have limited experience as an officer or director of a reporting company, such lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders.

Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements or regulations as a public reporting company in any regard, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Many of our officers and directors lack significant experience in, and with, the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies in the United States.

Many of our officers and directors lack significant experience in, and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies, and with serving as an officer and or director of a publicly-traded company. This lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders. Consequently, our operations, future earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to our officers’ and director’s ultimate lack of experience in our industry and with publicly-traded companies and their reporting requirements in general.

Shares purchased pursuant to this Offering are subject to lock-up restrictions.

Pursuant to the subscription agreement, investors purchasing Units shall have certain restrictions related to the resale of their shares. Specifically, each common share of the Unit shall be subject to a six month lock-up period, meaning that the shareholder will not be able to resell the share of common stock for six months. This could adversely affect the underlying investment as our common shares are traded on over the counter markets which can be subject to high volatility. As a result, the market price of our common stock could drop drastically, leaving an investor with a negative return on the investment, despite the market price at that date of purchase.

The subscription agreement for the purchase of common stock from the Company contains an exclusive forum provision, which will limit investors ability to litigate any issue that arises in connection with the offering anywhere other than the Federal courts in Nevada.

The subscription agreement states that it shall be governed by the local law of the State of Nevada and the United States, and the parties consent to the exclusive forum of the Federal courts in Nevada for any action deriving from the subscription agreement itself or under the Securities Act of 133 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They will not have the benefit of bringing a lawsuit in a more favorable jurisdiction or under more favorable law than the local law of the State of Nevada for matters not addressed by the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act. Moreover, we cannot provide any certainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision. In addition, you cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder as Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. The combination of both potentially unfavorable forum and the lack of certainty regarding enforceability poses a risk regarding litigation related to the subscription to this Offering and should be considered by each investor before signing the subscription agreement.

Risks Relating to the Internet

We are dependent on our telephone, Internet and management information systems for the sales and distribution of our potential products.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to provide prompt, accurate and complete service to our customers on a competitive basis and our ability to purchase and promote products, manage inventory, ship products, manage sales and marketing activities and maintain efficient operations through our telephone and proprietary management information system. A significant disruption in our telephone, Internet or management information systems could harm our relations with our customers and the ability to manage our operations. We can offer no assurance that our back-up systems will be sufficient to prevent an interruption in our operations in the event of disruption in our management information systems, and an extended disruption in the management information systems could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Online security breaches could harm our business.

The secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet is essential to maintain consumer confidence in our website. Substantial or ongoing security breaches of our system or other Internet-based systems could significantly harm our business. Any penetration of our network security or other misappropriation of our users’ personal information could subject us to liability. We may be liable for claims based on unauthorized purchases with credit card information, fraud, or misuse of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. These claims could result in litigation and financial liability. We rely on licensed encryption and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including credit card numbers. It is possible that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology we use to protect customer transaction data. We may incur substantial expense to protect against and remedy security breaches and their consequences. A party that is able to circumvent our security systems could steal proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. We cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent security breaches. Any breach resulting in misappropriation of confidential information would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government regulation and legal uncertainties relating to the Internet and online commerce could negatively impact our business operations.

Online commerce is rapidly changing, and federal and state regulation relating to the Internet and online commerce is evolving. The U.S. Congress has enacted Internet laws regarding online privacy, copyrights and taxation. Due to the increasing popularity of the Internet, it is possible that additional laws and regulations may be enacted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, taxation, content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust and quality of products and services. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations applicable to the Internet could harm our business operations.

Changing technology could adversely affect the operation of our website.

The Internet, online commerce and online advertising markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service introductions and changing customer preferences. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies and address its customers’ changing preferences. However, we may experience difficulties that delay or prevent us from being able to do so.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness

We have debt which could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations and prevent us from meeting our obligations under outstanding indebtedness.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES:

December 2020 Financings

On December 18, 2020, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2020 SPA I”) with an investor for the sale of the Company’s convertible note. Pursuant to the December 2020 SPA I, among other things, (i) the Company issued a self-amortization promissory note (the “December 2020 Note I”, and together with the December 2020 SPA I, the “December 2020 Agreements I”) in the aggregate principal amount of $275,000, and (ii) issued a total of 75,546 shares of common stock, as a commitment fee and 183,866 shares (the “Second Commitment Shares”) issued as a returnable commitment fee. Accordingly, the Company deems the Second Commitment Shares as unissued shares for accounting purposes. The 75,546 shares of common stock were recorded as a debt discount of $23,546 based on the relative fair value method. Pursuant to the December 2020 Note I, the Company received net proceeds of $234,100, net of $27,500 OID and $13,400 of issuance costs. The December 2020 Note I bears an interest rate of 12% per annum (which interest rate shall be increased to 16% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the December 2020 Note I)) and shall mature on December 18, 2021. The investor has the right, only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest thereon (including any default interest) into shares of common stock equal to the lesser of (i) 105% multiplied by the closing bid price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the issue date ($1.04) or (ii) the closing bid price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the respective conversion (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain percentage of ownership limitations. The Second Commitment Shares must be returned to the Company’s treasury if the December 2020 Note I is fully repaid and satisfied on or prior to the maturity date, the. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in December 2020 Note I), the investor is no longer required to return the Second Commitment Shares to the Company and the December 2020 Note I becomes immediately due and payable thereunder in the amount equal to the principal amount then outstanding plus accrued interest (including any default interest) through the date of full repayment multiplied by 125%. The obligations of the Company under the December 2020 Note I rank senior with respect to any and all unsecured indebtedness incurred following the issue date except with respect to the Company’s current and future indebtedness with Shopify and any further loans that may be received pursuant to the CARES Act and the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster loan program. Further, the December 2020 Note I contain standard anti-dilution provisions and price protections provisions in the event that the Company issues securities for a price per share less than the Conversion Price. The December 2020 Agreements I contain other provisions, covenants, and restrictions common with this type of debt transaction. Furthermore, the Company is subject to certain negative covenants under the December 2020 Agreements I, which the Company also believes are customary for transactions of this type. The December 2020 SPA I 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. As of December 31, 2020, the December 2020 Note I had outstanding principal and accrued interest of $275,000 and $1,175, respectively.

On December 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2020 SPA II”) with an investor for the sale of the Company’s convertible note. Pursuant to the SPA II, among other things, (i) the Company issued a self-amortization promissory note (the “December 2020 Note II”, and together with the December 2020 SPA II, the “December 2020 Agreements II”) in the aggregate principal amount of $172,000, and (ii) issued 45,989 shares of common stock as a commitment fee and 114,667 shares (the “Second Commitment Shares”) issued as a returnable commitment fee. Accordingly, the Company deems the Second Commitment Shares as unissued shares for accounting purposes. The 45,989 shares of common stock issued were recorded as a debt discount of $14,720 based on the relative fair value method. Pursuant to the December 2020 Note II, the Company received net proceeds of $150,000, net of $15,500 OID and $6,500 of issuance costs. The December 2020 Note II bears an interest rate of 12% per annum (which interest rate shall be increased to 16% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the December 2020 Note II)) and shall mature on December 28, 2021. The investor has the right, only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest thereon (including any default interest) into shares of common stock equal to the lesser of (i) 105% multiplied by the closing bid price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the issue date ($1.00) or (ii) the closing bid price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the respective conversion (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain percentage of ownership limitations. The Second Commitment Shares must be returned to the Company’s treasury if the December 2020 Note II is fully repaid and satisfied on or prior to the maturity date, the. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in the December 2020 Note II), the investor is no longer required to return the Second Commitment Shares to the Company and the December 2020 Note II becomes immediately due and payable thereunder in the amount equal to the principal amount then outstanding plus accrued interest (including any default interest) through the date of full repayment multiplied by 125%. The obligations of the Company under the December 2020 Note II rank senior with respect to any and all unsecured indebtedness incurred following the issue date except with respect to the Company’s current and future indebtedness with Shopify and any further loans that may be received pursuant to the CARES Act and the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster loan program. Further, the December 2020 Note II contain standard anti-dilution provisions and price protections provisions in the event that the Company issues securities for a price per share less than the Conversion Price. The December 2020 Agreements II contain other provisions, covenants, and restrictions common with this type of debt transaction. Furthermore, the Company is subject to certain negative covenants under the December 2020 Agreements II, which the Company also believes are also customary for transactions of this type. The December 2020 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. As of December 31, 2020, the December 2020 Note II had outstanding principal and accrued interest of $172,000 and $0, respectively.

The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement filed with the SEC within 60 or 120 days following the closing date of the December 2020 Agreements II (collectively as “Filing Deadline”). The Company shall pay the holder the sum of 1% of the purchase amount of the December 2020 Note II as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty for each time it fails to meet the Filing Deadline. The liquidated damages set forth in the Registration Agreement shall be paid, at the holder’s option, in cash or securities priced at the share price, or portion thereof. Failure of the Company to make payment within five business days of the Filing Date shall be considered a breach of the Registration Agreement.

Derivative Liabilities Pursuant to Convertible Notes

In connection with the issuance of the December 2020 Note I and II (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 Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period and on note conversion date, the Company revalues the derivative liabilities resulting from the embedded option.

The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Agreement”) in connection with the December 2020 Agreements II (see Note 13). Pursuant to which the Company is required to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Securities as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Company shall initially register for resale all of the Registerable Securities, or an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed under Rule 415 (a)(1)(i) as interpreted by the SEC. In the event the Company cannot register sufficient shares of Securities, due to the remaining number of authorized shares of Securities being insufficient, the Company will use its best efforts to register the maximum number of shares it can base on the remaining balance of authorized shares and will use its best efforts to increase the number of its authorized shares as soon as reasonably practicable.

NOTES PAYABLE:

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 8, 2020, the Company received federal funding in the amount of $14,612 through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP note bears an interest rate 0.98% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing six months after the effective date of the PPP note, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP note (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date can be extended to five years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the Company. The PPP note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP note, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP note. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. As of December 31, 2020, the PPP note had an outstanding principal balance of $14,612 and accrued interest of $106, reflected in the accompanying balance sheets under accrued expense and other liabilities.

Pursuant to the SBA Loan Agreement, the Company executed; (i) a note for the benefit of the SBA (“SBA Note”), which contains customary events of default; and (ii) a Security Agreement, granting the SBA a security interest in all tangible and intangible personal property of the Company, which also contains customary events of default. The SBA Note bears an interest rate of 3.75% per annum which accrue from the date of the advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning June 17, 2021 (twelve months from the date of the SBA Note) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Note. As of December 31, 2020, the SBA Note had an outstanding principal balance of $150,000 and accrued interest of $3,036, reflected in the accompanying balance sheets under accrued expense and other liabilities.

As of December 31, 2020, our total indebtedness was $391,585, including total net convertible debt of $141,476, net of $305,524 discount, total advances payable of $78,497, total notes payable of $171,612 including bank loans of $150,000 and $14,612 of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that the Company expects to be forgiven. As of December 31, 2020 $240,041 and $151,544 of such debt is classified as current and long-term debt, respectively. This debt could have important consequences, including the following: (i) a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for operations, future business opportunities and capital expenditures; (ii) our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, debt service requirements and general corporate purposes in the future may be limited; (iii) we may face a competitive disadvantage to lesser leveraged competitors; (iv) our debt service requirements could make it more difficult to satisfy other financial obligations; and (v) we may be vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business and we may be unable to carry out activities that are important to our growth.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, or to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond management’s control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs, we will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, which could impair our liquidity. Any refinancing of indebtedness, if available at all, could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict our business operations. Despite our significant amount of indebtedness, we may need to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial debt

If we do not meet the standards for forgiveness of our PPP Loan, we may be required to repay the loan over a period of two years.

On April 8, 2020, we entered into a promissory note evidencing an unsecured $14,612 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP note bears an interest rate of 0.98% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing seven months after the effective date of the PPP note, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP note (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date can be extended to five years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the PPP note had an outstanding principal balance of $14,612 and accrued interest of $106.

Although the Company intends to apply for forgiveness of all or a portion of its PPP note, we make no representations that we will qualify for forgiveness of all or part of the PPP note. While we expect to meet the standards for full forgiveness of the PPP note, there can be no assurance that we will meet such standards. Further, as a consequence of post-PPP note rule making by the SBA, shifting regulatory guidance and/or other factors, we may be required to repay the PPP note before its expected maturity date.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of the Nevada General Corporation Law.

Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

We do not currently maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors, officers, employees and other agents against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law, although we may do so in the future.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Use of Proceeds

If we raise the maximum of $13,000,000 in the Offering, our net proceeds (after our estimated offering expenses of $547,350) will be $9,835,000.

We will use these net proceeds for the following:

The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors.

As indicated in the table above, if we raise only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the maximum amount of this Offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the maximum amount of this Offering, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve.

The expected use of net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

In the event we do raise the maximum amount of this Offering, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

*          *          *

Dilution

If you purchase Units in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 was $(1,914,994) or $(0.0986) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after deducting estimated offering expenses of $ 547,350) at a price of $0.65 per Unit:

Business Overview

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 to Gratitude Health, Inc. from Vapir Enterprises 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 planning, 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 Company continues to seek acquisitions, joint ventures, licenses, and other business combinations to expand the operations and offerings of the Company.

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

Acquisition of Home Bistro Holdings and Disposal of the Discontinued Operations of the RTD Business

On December 1, 2014, it underwent a statutory conversion filed under Section 8-265 of the Delaware Code to converted from a limited liability company to a corporation and changed its name to Home Bistro, Inc.

Home Bistro Holdings 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 delivery and preparation services. Products are gourmet meals delivered directly to the home.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

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

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

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

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

Subsequent to the Merger, the Company had an aggregate of 30,031,501 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis consisting of 19,004,233 shares of common stock, 60,638 stock options and warrants to purchase up to 10,967,572 shares of common stock.

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

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

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

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

The Merger constituted a change of control and the majority of the Board of Directors changed with the consummation of the Merger. The Company issued to the stockholders of Home Bistro Holdings shares of common stock and stock warrants which represented approximately 80% of the combined company on a fully converted basis after the closing of the Merger and approximately 51% voting control. As a result of the above transactions and the Company’s intent to dispose of or divest the assets and liabilities associated with the RTD Business as discussed below, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Home Bistro Holdings where Home Bistro Holdings is considered the historical registrant and the historical operations presented will be those of Home Bistro Holdings.

The following assets and liabilities were assumed in the Merger:

Disposal of Discontinued Operations of the RTD Business

On September 25, 2020, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s business, assets and properties used, or held or developed for use, in its functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverage segment (the “RTD Business”), and the Buyer agreed to assume certain debts, obligations and liabilities related to the RTD Business. The Company assumed an accounts payable liability in the amount of $14,000 related to accounting expense of the RTD Business for a period prior to the Merger. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer reimbursed the Company for t accounting expenses in amount of $14,000 incurred prior to the Merger, of which $7,000 was payable in cash and the balance in form of a promissory note dated September 25, 2020 in the amount of $7,000. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, matures on April 25, 2021 and is payable in monthly installments of $1,000 commencing on October 25, 2020 through April 25, 2021. The Company received the $7,000 cash portion of the consideration as of December 31, 2020. The $14,000 reimbursement was recorded to additional paid in capital as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

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

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

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

The Products and Packaging:

The Company manufactures, packages, and sells, direct-to-consumer, gourmet meals under the Home Bistro brand and markets restaurant quality meats and seafood under the Prime Chop and Colorado Prime brands. The Company’s meals are freshly prepared and packaged in its facility located in Miami, Florida. Home Bistro meals are ordered on-line and delivered to consumers in containers designed to keep the products fresh during transport. Once delivered, the meals can be heated using a microware cooker or hot water for consumption within minutes and with little to no preparation and minimal cleanup.

In addition to its diverse menu of gourmet meals, the Company has also partnered with world-renowned chefs to offer a selection of each chef’s specialty cuisine (the “Celebrity Chef Program”). The Company launched its Celebrity Chef Program with Iron Chef, Cat Cora to offer Chef Cora’s Mediterranean/Southern inspired cooking. Home Bistro also partnered with “Hungry Fan” celebrity chef, Daina Falk to offer Ms. Falk’s sports stadium tailgate inspired recipes. The Company plans to expand it celebrity chef program to include gourmet cuisine from notable chefs around the world. In doing so, the Company intends to create a digital food court through which it will offer consumers an internationally diversified selection of fully cooked gourmet meals.

Market Information and the Value Chain and Routes to Market

The online food delivery market is projected to reach $28.5 billion in the United States in 2021 and achieve a cumulative average growth rate of 4.3% through 2024, according to a recent report by market and consumer data company Statista.

Consumers are continually becoming time-starved and convenience-seeking, while others have tired from the impact the pandemic has had on their access to restaurant quality food over the last year. As a result, consumers have aggressively sought out alternatives to cooking at home or ordering take-out.

Meal-Kits vs. Third-Party Delivery vs. Prepared Meals

Business models for meal-kit providers, third-party delivery services and prepared “heat-to-eat” meal companies, differ vastly from one another. Meal-kit companies provide customers pre-portioned, raw ingredients and recipes that require preparation, cooking, and the ensuing clean-up, not to mention that the resulting meal is still subject to the preparer’s ability, or lack thereof, to cook. On average, meals take anywhere from 30-60 minutes for preparation and cooking and another 15 minutes to clean up. In addition, due to the short shelf life of raw materials provided in meal-kits, meal-kit providers experience higher operating and supply chain costs compared to prepared meal providers.

Third-party online delivery platforms such as Grubhub, Uber Eats and DoorDash offer access to restaurants’ menus via a single online portal. Customers then order directly from the app and cooked meals are delivered typically within 60 minutes by the restaurant, third party delivery service or the app platform itself. During the delivery, cooked meals lose heat, which can decrease the enjoyment of the meal or require reheating.

The prepared, heat-to-eat providers in the meal delivery segment (in which Home Bistro operates) ship fresh and fresh-frozen, fully cooked meals direct-to-consumer. On average, these meals require heating for only three to five minutes using a microwave of sous vide machine. The experience is extremely convenient, requires very little cleanup and delivers a gourmet meal prepared by a professional chef. Consumers can order one meal or several meals, which can be stored and heated when desired.

Production

Until mid-2020, the Company used third-party co-packers to cooks, packages, fulfill and ship its meals to its customers. In June, Home Bistro entered into a lease for commercial kitchen facilities, hired and trained professional chefs and implemented its own fulfillment operations. By managing its own food production and fulfillment, Home Bistro expects to be able to improve its competitive position, while expanding its gross profit and operating margins. It will provide the Company with significantly greater flexibility to create and introduce new menu items, including the expansion of its Celebrity Chef Program, and react to dynamics of a developing marketplace.

Orders for restaurant quality meats and seafood through the Company’s Prime Chop and Colorado Prime brands continue to be processed through a third-party co-packer based in North Carolina who fulfills and ships customer orders.

Competition

In the direct-to-consumer prepared meal home delivery market segment, our competition is extensive and includes larger more established companies such as Jenny Craig, WW International and Nutrisystem which have significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than the Company, as well as numerous smaller independent providers. We believe, however, there is considerable room for additional competitors offering modestly priced, high quality offerings, as the direct-to-consumer segment of the home delivery market for food continues to expand. In addition, we believe the competition for consumers seeking ready-made gourmet meals (such as Home Bistro) is less intensive than other niches such as weight loss, high protein, keto, or paleo.

In the direct-to-consumer, high quality meats and seafood market segment, our competition is extensive and includes larger more established companies such as Omaha Steaks, Kansas City Steak Company and Snake River Farms which have significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than the Company, as well as Butcher Block, D’Artagnan and Crowd Cow. We believe, however, there is considerable room for additional competitors offering modestly priced, high quality offerings, as the direct-to-consumer segment of the home delivery market for food continues to expand.

Home Bistro’s online competition consists primarily of national and local service providers, point-of-sale module vendors that serve some independent restaurants who have their own standalone websites and the online interfaces of restaurants that also offer takeout. The Company also competes for diners with online competitors on the basis of convenience, control, and customer care. For restaurants, Home Bistro competes with other online platforms based on its ability to generate additional orders, manage challenges such as customization, change orders, menu updates and specials and the ability to help them improve their operational efficiency.

Government Regulation

We are subject to labor and employment laws, import and trade restrictions laws, laws governing advertising, privacy and data security laws, safety regulations and other laws, including consumer protection regulations that apply to retailers and/or the promotion and sale of merchandise and the operation of stores and warehouse facilities. In the United States, we are subject to the regulatory authority of, among other agencies, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). We will employ a number of external resources to assist us in complying with our regulatory obligations. These external resources will include outside technology providers and consultants. As we expand our business, we will be required to raise additional capital to cover the expected increase in costs to hire and train additional internal and external resources to ensure we remain in substantial compliance with our governmental obligations. We monitor changes in these laws and believe that we are in material compliance with applicable laws.

Trademarks

We own trademarks on certain of our products, including Trademark serial numbers 86636971 and 86636968.

Employees

As of December 31, 2020, Home Bistro had 4 full-time employees. None of these employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements and the Company considers it relations with its employees to be good.

Properties

Subsequent to the Merger, the Company moved its corporate headquarters from 11231 US Highway One, Suite 200, North Palm Beach, FL 33408 to 4014 Chase Avenue, #212, Miami Beach, FL 33140. Our telephone number, including area code, is (631) 964-1111.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Except for the historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. We caution you not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results or actions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements for many reasons. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. See “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION” above. As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to Home Bistro, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated.

Overview

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 planning, delivery, and preparation services. The Company’s primary former operations were in the business of manufacturing, selling, and marketing functional RTD (Ready to Drink) beverages sold under the Company’s trademark (the “RTD Business”). The RTD Business was disposed on September 25, 2020 as discussed below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Results of Operations

Operating Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, operating expenses consisted of the following:

During the year ended December 31, 2020, compensation and related expenses amounted to $547,940 as compared to $362,526 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $185,414 or 51%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in employee stock-based compensation in 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, product development expenses amounted to $360,000 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $360,000, or 100%.

Other Income

Loss from continuing operations

Income from discontinued operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $466,178 and cash of $447,354 as of December 31, 2020 and a working capital deficit of $271,679 and $7,137 of cash as of December 31, 2019.

The increase in working capital deficit was primarily attributable to an increase in current assets of $472,889 and an increase in current liabilities of $667,388.

Cash Flows

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flows:

We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during fiscal year 2020. 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, implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $273,817 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $30,244 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $243,573 or 805%.

Net Cash Provided Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,749 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $1,749 or 100%.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $712,285 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to net cash used amounting to $11,900 for the year ended December 31, 2019, a change of $724,185 or 6,086%.

Cash Requirements

We currently have no external sources of liquidity, such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital. As noted above and below, the Company received a loan in the aggregate amount of $14,612 under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, and a loan in the aggregate amount of $150,000 from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are dependent on our product sales to fund our operations and may require the sale of additional common stock and preferred stock to maintain operations. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans, and/or financial guarantees.

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 consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had net loss and cash used in operations of $1,241,661 and $273,817, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit, and working capital deficit of $6,333,389, $1,914,994 and $466,178, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company’s primary source of operating funds in 2020 was primarily from the third-party advances and proceeds from note payables. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in this Form 10-K, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

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 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019 include the assumptions used in the redemption recognition method for unredeemed gift cards, collectability of note receivable, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, valuation of derivative liabilities, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.

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 December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

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

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

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.

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.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of the ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

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, and restaurant quality meats and seafood through its Colorado Prime Brand. Revenues from the Company’s ready-made meals are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and title has transferred, it is at this point in time that the Company’s performance obligations have been completed. Product sales are recorded net of any discounts or allowances and include shipping charges.

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

Based on historical redemption patterns, a portion of issued gift cards are not expected to be redeemed. 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.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Neither inflation nor changing prices for the year ended December 31, 2020 had a material impact on our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Committees; Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board does not have an Audit Committee or other committees.

Changes in Nominating Procedures

None.

Family Relationships

None of the directors and officers is related to any other director or officer of the Company.

Board Oversight in Risk Management

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, also serves on the Board of Directors, and we do not have a lead director. In the context of risk oversight, we believe that our selection of one person to serve in both positions provides the Board with additional perspective which combines the operational experience of a member of management with the oversight focus of a member of the Board. The business and operations of our Company are managed by our Board as a whole, including oversight of various risks, such as operational and liquidity risks that our Company faces. Because our Board includes a member of our management, this individual is responsible for both the day-to-day management of the risks we face as well as the responsibility for the oversight of risk management.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

None.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Currently, we have one independent director. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2020 and 2019

CONTENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Home Bistro, Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Home Bistro, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated financial statement footnotes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee or those charged with governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Description of the Matter

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible debt notes (the “Notes”) that allow the holders to convert the debt into common stock upon certain default events not within the control of the Company. The Company determined that the terms of the Notes included an embedded conversion option to be accounted for as derivative liabilities, which are required to be accounted for at fair value upon issuance and each reporting period, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 – Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock (ACS 815).

As disclosed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded initial derivative liabilities and debt discount of $212,344 from the embedded conversion options. Further, as of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $32,315. There is no current observable market for these types of derivatives and, as such, the Company measured the initial and December 31, 2020 fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities using the Bionomial lattice valuation model. Such a model includes techniques that require management to make several assumptions with a high degree of subjectivity related to stock price, discount yield, risk free rates, volatility, probability of principal repayment in cash or common stock and probability of the Company defaulting on the convertible debt notes.

We identified the evaluation of the terms of financial instruments to determine whether the embedded conversion option met the definition of a derivative, the analysis of the accounting treatment, presentation and disclosures, and the valuation of the derivative liabilities as critical audit matters due to the complex nature of these financial instruments.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

The primary procedures we performed to address these critical audit matters included (a) reviewing and testing the Company’s conclusions as to whether the financial instruments included an embedded conversion option that met the definition of a derivative as defined by ASC 815 by evaluating and comparing the Company’s analysis and conclusions to authoritative and interpretive literature, (b) comparing the accounting treatment and presentation to that described by authoritative and interpretive literature, (c) testing the Company’s process and methodology for valuing the derivatives by comparing it to generally accepted methodologies for valuing derivatives, (d) testing the Company’s valuation of the derivatives by testing assumptions and data used in the valuation model including the term, volatility and risk free rate, (e) recomputing the fair value of the derivative at issuance and December 31, 2020 and (f) utilizing a valuation specialist to assist in evaluating the Company’s model, methodology, and significant assumptions.

We agreed with management’s final conclusions with regards to the accounting treatment of the embedded conversion options, valuations, accounting treatment, presentation, and disclosures.
