(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Management’s Plans
Organization
Southern Hospitality Franchisee Holding Corporation (the “Company”) is a Colorado corporation formed in August 2011, for the purpose of owning and operating up to 30 Southern Hospitality restaurants in the United States. The restaurants are intended to primarily serve southern or Memphis style barbeque and cuisine and alcoholic beverages (such as a range of bourbons and other spirits and cocktails) and are also intending to sell certain related products and merchandise (such as meat rubs and memorabilia). The Company entered into a franchise agreement and area development agreement with SH Franchising and Licensing LLC, dba Southern Hospitality BBQ (the “Franchisor”) in November 2011.
In May 2012, the Company formed Southern Hospitality Denver Holdings, LLC (“SHDH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Southern Hospitality Denver, LLC (“SHD”). SHD was formed for the purpose owning and operating the Company’s first franchised restaurant in Denver, Colorado. SHD is 51% owned by SHDH and 49% owned by non-controlling interest holders, of which a board member of the Company is a 22% non-controlling interest holder. SHDH and the non-controlling interest holders are to contribute $900,000 each (an aggregate of $1.8 million) to fund the initial capitalization of the Company’s first Denver-based franchised restaurant. Allocation of income (loss) between SHDH and the non-controlling interest holders is based on each member’s proportional ownership interest.
Basis of Presentation
Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to establishing its business, and planned principal operations have not commenced. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise”, which require that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.
The accompanying interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and the period from inception (August 19, 2011) through September 30, 2011, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.
Management’s Plans
Since inception through November 1. 2012, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to developing its business plan, raising capital, and implementing steps necessary to open and begin operating restaurants. From inception through November 1, 2012, the Company has completed the following steps:
1.
|
In October 2011, the Company initiated a private placement of promissory notes and common stock, of which the Company received $573,500 in 2011, and an additional $2,446,388 between January and November 1, 2012.

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Management Plans (continued)
Management’s Plans (continued)
2.
|
In November 2011, the Company entered into franchise and area development agreements with the Franchisor to develop its first ten restaurants in ten cities throughout the United States. The Company’s plan is to open the first ten restaurants between 2013 and 2017 (two restaurants per year.
|
3.
|
In April 2012, the Company entered into a lease for the location of its first restaurant in Denver, Colorado. The Company has initiated renovation and tenant build-out activities, and the Company expects that this first Denver-based restaurant will open by January 2013. The Company has estimated build-out and opening costs to be approximately $2.5 million for this Denver-based restaurant.
|
Management estimates that the total investment necessary to begin operation of a single Southern Hospitality restaurant franchise is between $700,000 and $2.5 million. The Company has no revenue generating activities to date, and the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution, nor can the Company provide any assurance it will be able to enter into any such agreement in the future, or be able to raise funds through a future issuance of debt or equity. The Company’s continued implementation of its business plan is dependent on its future profitability and on additional debt or equity financing, which may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a consequence, if the Company is unable to achieve profitability or obtain additional financing in the near term, the Company may be required to delay its business plan implementation, and/or the Company may be required to cease operations in order to offset the lack of available funding, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash and non-related party payables approximates fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of non-related party notes payable approximates fair value based on effective interest rates estimated to approximate market. The carrying amount of payables to related parties are not practicable to estimate based on the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets at December 31, 2011, represent franchise license costs for ten planned restaurants. These costs are allocable to each restaurant location and are to be amortized beginning with each restaurant opening over the ten-year term of the franchise agreement using the straight line method. The Company assesses potential impairment to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recovery of the assets’ carrying value is not recoverable.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned consolidated entities. In August 2012, the non-controlling members contributed $225,000 to SHD.
Cash restricted for Leasehold Improvements
Cash restricted for leasehold improvements represents amounts held in a construction escrow account controlled by a commercial, third-party lessor (Note 8). Funds from this account are to be used to complete the renovation of the Company’s Denver-based restaurant.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs, such as travel and employee payroll and related training costs are expensed as incurred and include direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the opening of each restaurant. Pre-opening costs also may include non-cash rental costs under operating leases incurred during a construction period.
Property and Equipment
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, in conjunction with the Company’s planned Denver-based restaurant, the Company began capitalizing certain leasehold improvements, as well as equipment the Company purchased in 2012 but has not yet placed in service. Management reviews property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, for impairment when events or circumstances indicate these assets might be impaired. The Company's management considers, or will consider, such factors as the Company's history of losses and the disruptions in the overall economy in preparing an analysis of its property, including leasehold improvements, to determine if events or circumstances have caused these assets to be impaired. Management bases this assessment upon the carrying value versus the fair value of the asset and whether or not that difference is recoverable. Such assessment is to be performed on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis and is to include other relevant facts and circumstances including the physical condition of the asset. If management determines the carrying value of the restaurant assets exceeds the projected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the restaurant assets to their fair value.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment (continued)
Leasehold improvements, property and equipment are stated at cost. Internal costs directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a restaurant are capitalized. Expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Construction in process (leasehold improvements in process) and other property and equipment are not depreciated/amortized until placed in service. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Leasehold improvements
|
3-10 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
3-10 years
|
Equipment
|
3-7 years
|
Property and equipment at September 30, 2012, has not yet been placed in service, and therefore no deprecation has been recorded through September 30, 2012.
At September 30, 2012, the Company has $397,335 of cash restricted for additional leasehold improvements to be made during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets at September 30, 2012, represent franchise license costs for the ten planned restaurants. These costs are allocable to each restaurant location and are to be amortized beginning with each restaurant opening over the remaining ten-year term of the franchise agreement using the straight line method. The Company assesses potential impairment to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying value is not recoverable.
Leases and Deferred Rent
The Company intends to lease substantially all of its restaurant properties, and in April 2012, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for its planned restaurant in Denver, Colorado. For leases that contain rent escalation clauses, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, including the "build-out" or "rent-holiday" period where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Any difference between minimum rent and straight-line rent is recorded as deferred rent. Additionally, contingent rent expense based on a percentage of revenue is accrued and recorded to the extent it is expected to exceed minimum base rent per the lease agreement based on estimates of probable levels of revenue during the contingency period. Deferred rent also includes tenant improvement allowances the Company may receive, which is amortized as a reduction of rent expense, also on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Through September 30, 2012, the Company had no revenue generating activities. At such time the Company begins to generate revenue through it restaurant operations, it intends to do so pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and applicable related guidance.
Revenue is expected to be derived from the sale of prepared food and beverage and select retail items. Revenue is to be recognized at the time of sale and is to be reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations net of sales taxes collected. The amount of sales tax collected is to be included in accrued expenses until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses were approximately $80,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and none for the period ended September 30, 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Share-Based Payment. ASC 718 requires the recognition of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718 also requires the stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the period of service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using an option pricing model, typically the Black-Scholes model.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company determines its income tax expense in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The income tax expense includes an estimate of the current income tax expense, as well as deferred income tax expense, which results from the determination of temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for book and tax purposes.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions.
The Company’s subsidiaries (SHD and SHDH) are limited liability companies (“LLC’s”). As an LLC, management believes that these companies are not subject to income taxes, and such taxes are the responsibility of the respective members.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2011-05”), which improves the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") by eliminating the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this standard require that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently in December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU No. 2011-12"), which indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU No. 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The amendments in these standards do not change the items that must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income, or change the option for an entity to present components of OCI gross or net of the effect of income taxes. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 in 2012 did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial statements.
Note 3 – Intangible Assets
Franchise Agreements
Through December 2011, the Company paid $300,000 for the non-exclusive rights and license to use the Southern Hospitality system and Southern Hospitality licensed marks in connection with the operation of ten restaurants to be owned and operated by the Company under franchise and related area development agreements. These costs are allocable to each planned restaurant. The allocated cost to each restaurant is to be amortized beginning with each restaurant opening over the remaining ten-year term of the related franchise agreement. Amortization is expected to begin in 2013 with the opening of the Denver-based restaurant. Amortization expense for the five years following 2012 is estimated to be as follows:

Note 5 – Notes Payable
Beginning in October 2011, the Company began selling 5% promissory notes (the “Notes”) along with shares of the Company’s common stock. Investors received one share of common stock for each one dollar of principal amount loaned to the Company. Through December 31, 2011, the Company sold Notes with a face amount of $537,500 along with 537,500 shares of common stock for cash of $537,500. In this placement, the Company sold $25,000 of Notes and common stock to a related party management company (Note 8). The Company allocated the proceeds received between the Notes and the common stock based on their relative fair value at issuance. The fair values of the Notes and common stock issued was determined to be $456,875 and $80,625, respectively. Consequently the Company recorded a discount of $80,625 at the issuance date of the Notes, with an offsetting increase to paid-in capital on the Company's balance sheet. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the terms of the related Notes.
Between January 1, 2012, and September 30, 2012, the Company sold additional Notes along with 1,936,001 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $1,936,001. The Company also issued a $50,000 Note along with 50,000 shares of common stock to a third-party for $50,000 of services provided to the Company. The Company allocated the proceeds and services received between discount on Notes and additional paid-in capital of $297,900 which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the terms of the related Notes.

PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 5 – Notes Payable (continued)
The Notes bear interest at 5% per annum, they are unsecured, and their maturity dates are seven years from their issue date. The effective interest rate on the Notes is approximately 15%. Quarterly payments will be applied against accrued interest first, then principal. The minimum aggregate quarterly payment to Note holders is 2.5% of the Company’s portion of gross quarterly revenues from each restaurant. The first minimum quarterly payment will be due 45 days after the first calendar quarter in which the Denver restaurant opens.
By their original terms, the Notes and accrued interest becomes convertible, at the option of the holder, upon the Company’s common stock becoming publicly traded. The conversion price will be 80% of the 20-day average closing sales price on the date conversion is elected, but not less than $0.50 per share. The Company has determined that there is no beneficial conversion feature associated with the Notes.
Note 6 – Income Taxes
At December 31, 2011, the Company has approximately $289,000 of net operating loss carry-forwards which expire in 2031. The net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to certain restrictions in the future, particularly in the event of a change in ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future impact of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company’s net deferred tax assets which consist of net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $106,000 at December 31, 2011, have been fully reserved, effectively by a valuation allowance, because management does not believe realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not at the balance sheet date.
The Company’s expected income tax benefit computed at the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34% of approximately $377,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, to the effective income tax rate of $0 is due to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Note 7 – Equity (Deficit)
Preferred Stock
At the date of incorporation (August 19, 2011), the Company authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which have been issued to date. The designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights of the preferred stock shall be established by the board of directors.
Common Stock
In November 2011, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares to five individuals who represent founders of the Company for $3,000. In July 2012, 2,250,000 of these shares were returned to the Company and cancelled. In connection with the Company’s 2011 private placement offering, 537,500 shares were issued in 2011. The offering continued through September 30, 2012, with an additional 1,986,001 common shares being issued.

Franchise agreement
The Company’s first ten restaurant properties are to be operated under a franchise and related area development agreement with the Franchisor under an initial ten-year term, renewable for two additional five-year terms. Pursuant to the franchise agreement, the Company is to pay royalty fees based on a percentage of gross revenues (generally between 3% and 5% of gross sales, as defined), plus additional fees and costs for marketing, training, inventory and other franchisor costs.

Related Party Management Agreement with AMHC Managed Services

(“AMMS”), a subsidiary of Accredited Members Acquisition Corporation (“AMAC”). The Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and officers of the Company are also officers/board members of AMAC. The significant terms of the Management Agreement provide for monthly payments to AMMS in exchange for the ability of the Company to fully utilize the management expertise, financial and accounting expertise, support staff and location of AMMS, including the expertise of the position of AMMS’ Chief Financial Officer and necessary support for compliance under the securities laws with respect to any private or public reports or registration statements the Company may file. The Management Agreement term is 12 months, and requires the Company to pay AMMS a monthly fee equal to $35,000 per month ($315,000 of expense for 2012). Additionally, under the Management Agreement, the Company granted AMMS a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Company’s common stock exercisable at $0.0005 per share, exercisable for a three-year term. The value of the warrant was determined to be approximately $49,700. The amount was recorded as a prepaid asset and is being amortized over the one-year term of the Management Agreement as services are performed, of which approximately $33,100 was expensed in 2012. AMMS exercised the warrant in full in July 2012.
