REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business - The founders, inspired by a fun weekend activity, entered their unique Cheesy Mac and Rib Melt into Los Angeles' 7th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational which prompted the idea behind The Grilled Cheese Truck. Experiencing the demand for grilled cheese sandwiches at this event, they decided to capitalize on the food truck phenomena occurring in Los Angeles and launched the Company in the 4th quarter 2009 with their first Grilled Cheese Truck.

 

The Company currently operates two Grilled Cheese Trucks, supported by a commissary kitchen in central Los Angeles. The trucks operate Tuesday through Saturday typically running two shifts. The trucks travel to locations that are predetermined based on a variety of factors including venues where other food trucks regularly gather, popular demand for given locations driven by requests from approximately 100,000 Grilled Cheese Truck followers (Facebook & Twitter), and catered private parties and special events.

 

The Grilled Cheese Truck menu, in addition to offering a classic grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, also offers a multitude of high quality meats, poultry, produce, breads and cheeses. This enables the consumer to create a unique grilled cheese sandwich that is made to order.

 

Brand awareness is promoted on social media and the internet and is a key component to the Company's marketing strategy. They are used on a daily basis to reach consumers and to determine high demand locations for truck stops.

 

Fiscal Year -The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31 each calendar year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash primarily consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company currently has no cash equivalents which would consist of money market accounts and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 consolidated revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The majority of the Company's sales are in cash from Truck stop sales. Receivables relate to catering and special event sales. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management's evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Computers 4 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Office Equipment 7 Years
Food Service Equipment 7 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 Years
Leasehold Improvements 7 Years

 

Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Revenue Recognition -The Company's revenue is derived from two sources. The primary source is from truck stop sales and a lessor portion is from catering and event services. Truck stop sales are primarily received in cash and revenue for these sales, net of sales tax, is reported at that time. For 2011 and 2010, truck stop sales were $1,178,003 and $671,054 respectively.

 

For catering and special event services, customers must sign and deliver the Company's standard catering agreement with a minimum payment of 50% of the agreed upon price of the event. Customers will be invoiced for the remaining balance at this time. The remaining balance is due by credit card payment within 2 days of the event or cash on the day of the event. The initial 50% deposit is fully refundable until 14 days prior to the event, between 4 and 13 days, the deposit is non-refundable and if the customer cancels within 3 days of the event, 100% of the agreed-upon price of the event is due. Revenue is recognized, net of sales tax, at the time services are provided. For 2011 and 2010, catering and event sales were $244,061 and $243,558 respectively. For 2011 and 2010, deferred revenue was $1,532 and $4,681, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Income, are expensed when incurred. These costs consist primarily of printing for signs, menus, and promotional items. Also included are costs of web based advertising. Total advertising expenses for 2011 and 2010 were $27,877 and $20,210, respectively.

December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Income Taxes - The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Service Code to be a sub-chapter S corporation. In lieu of federal corporation income tax, the shareholders' of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been included in the financial statements. The State of California has imposed a 1.5 percent corporate level tax on S corporations. The income tax provision in the accompanying financial statements includes state franchise taxes.

 

Sales Taxes - The Company's revenues in the statements of income are net of sales taxes.

 

Earnings Per Share - Basic and fully diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. No potentially dilutive common shares were outstanding during the reporting period. Accordingly, the Company shows a single computation for earnings per share.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards -The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Subsequent Events - The Company evaluated subsequent events through August 8th, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business – The founders, inspired by a fun weekend activity, entered their unique Cheesy Mac and Rib Melt into Los Angeles’ 7th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational which prompted the idea behind The Grilled Cheese Truck. Experiencing the demand for grilled cheese sandwiches at this event, they decided to capitalize on the food truck phenomena occurring in Los Angeles and launched the Company in the 4th quarter 2009 with their first Grilled Cheese Truck.

 

The Company currently operates two Grilled Cheese Trucks, supported by a commissary kitchen in central Los Angeles. The trucks operate Tuesday through Saturday typically running two shifts. The trucks travel to locations that are pre-determined based on a variety of factors including venues where other food trucks regularly gather, popular demand for given locations driven by requests from approximately 100,000 Grilled Cheese Truck followers (Facebook & Twitter), and catered private parties and special events.

 

The Grilled Cheese Truck menu, in addition to offering a classic grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, also offers a multitude of high quality meats, poultry, produce, breads and cheeses. This enables the consumer to create a unique grilled cheese sandwich that is made to order.

 

Brand awareness is promoted on social media and the internet and is a key component to the Company’s marketing strategy. They are used on a daily basis to reach consumers and to determine high demand locations for truck stops.

 

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes hereto as of December 31, 2011. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Fiscal Year – The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 each calendar year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash primarily consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company currently has no cash equivalents which would consist of money market accounts and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 consolidated revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The majority of the Company’s sales are in cash from Truck stop sales. Receivables relate to catering and special event sales.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management's evaluation of collectability.  Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Computers   4 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Office Equipment 7 Years
Food Service Equipment 7 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 Years
Leasehold Improvements 7 Years

Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue is derived from two sources. The primary source is from truck stop sales and a lessor portion is from catering and event services. Truck stop sales are primarily received in cash and revenue for these sales, net of sales tax, is reported at that time. For the nine months ended September, 30 2012 and 2011, truck stop sales were $733,183 and $931,901, respectively.

 

For catering and special event services, customers must sign and deliver the Company’s standard catering agreement with a minimum payment of 50% of the agreed upon price of the event. Customers will be invoiced for the remaining balance at this time. The remaining balance is due by credit card payment within 2 days of the event or cash on the day of the event. The initial 50% deposit is fully refundable until 14 days prior to the event, between 4 and 13 days, the deposit is non-refundable and if the customer cancels within 3 days of the event, 100% of the agreed-upon price of the event is due. Revenue is recognized, net of sales tax, at the time services are provided. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, catering and event sales were $235,351 and $167,436 respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, deferred revenue was $8,147 and $6,931 respectively.

Advertising Costs – Advertising costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Income, are expensed when incurred. These costs consist primarily of printing for signs, menus, and promotional items. Also included are costs of web based advertising. Total advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $8,194 and $18,781, respectively.

 

Income Taxes – The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Service Code to be a sub-chapter S corporation. In lieu of federal corporation income tax, the shareholders' of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been included in the financial statements. The State of California has imposed a 1.5 percent corporate level tax on S corporations. The income tax provision in the accompanying financial statements includes state franchise taxes.

 

Sales Taxes – The Company’s revenues in the statements of income are net of sales taxes.

 

Earnings Per Share – Basic and fully diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. No potentially dilutive common shares were outstanding during the reporting period. Accordingly, the Company shows a single computation for earnings per share.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Subsequent Events – The Company evaluated subsequent events through December 11, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
