HISPANICA INTERNATIONAL DELIGHTS OF AMERICA, INC.

3,562,500 Shares of
Common Stock

This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales of 3,562,500 shares of common stock by our Company and the selling security holders, which consists of:
 
   
Up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock which we are offering on a direct basis at a price of $0.25 per share; and
 
  
 
Up to 1,562,500 shares of common stock which are presently outstanding and owned by the selling stockholders.

There is no minimum offering and there is no minimum number of shares required to be sold. The offering period will end one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of this prospectus but may also be terminated sooner in our sole discretion. Our direct offering shares will be offered and sold on a self-underwritten, best-efforts basis through our officers and directors. Our direct offering shares will be sold at a fixed price of $0.25 per share throughout the offering period. There are no arrangements to place the funds we raise in an escrow, trust or similar account. All proceeds from our direct offering shares will go to us. No assurance can be given that we will be able to sell any of our direct offered shares.

We are an emerging growth company and are electing to extend our transition period for meeting new or revised accounting standards. The term ‘emerging growth company’ means an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) during its most recently completed fiscal year. An issuer that is an emerging growth company as of the first day of that fiscal year shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of –
 
 
(A)
The last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
 
(B)
The last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;
 
(C)
The date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
 
(D)
The date on which such issuer is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
 
As a result of being an emerging growth company, we will be disclosing financial information that will be less complete than those of companies meeting the higher accounting standards. As such, investors will not have access to the same level of financial disclosure as they would in companies meeting the higher accounting standards. Accordingly, this lower level of financial disclosure may adversely affect an investor’s availability to gain an accurate view of the Company’s financial situation in order to make a fully informed investment decision. The company will base its emerging growth status at the end of the fiscal year that is five years after the first sale of shares pursuant to their registration statement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Our Business

(“GRAN NEVADA”). Pursuant to exclusive license, the Company has the right to sell the entire GRAN NEVADA line which currently consists of  8 products for a sliding scale royalty fee starting at five percent (5%).

Our Financial Situation

Recent Developments

Our Offering

This prospectus relates to the sale of a total of 3,562,500 shares of our common stock. Upon the effective date of this registration statement, up to 2,000,000 shares may be sold by the Company with no minimum to be sold at a fixed price of $0.25 per share.  Up to 1,562,500 shares may be sold by the selling stockholders as set forth under the caption “Selling Stockholders”. The distribution of the shares by the Selling Stockholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. We will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of our shares at $0.25 per share. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. We will bear all expenses of the registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.

Our Business Objectives

The Company intends to license and acquire potential leading Hispanic and Ethnic brands in America that can be nationally recognized among the U.S. Hispanic and Ethnic populations, for quality food and beverages. The brands distributed emulate the flavors, which have been known for generations among the Hispanic and Ethnic peoples, but that are just now being reintroduced to the mass market. We are dedicated to building long-term relationships with end-consumers through superior products and high quality packaging. The Company’s goal is to maintain a rapid growth rate, and become profitable through building its licensed branded product line with additional products. Our core business objectives are as follows:

·  
Define and become the leader in the Hispanic (and Ethnic) food and beverage market in the United States of America.
·  
Maximize profits by selling products with the highest possible margin.
·  
Maintain low overhead by monitoring and scheduling cost effective manufacturing, production, storage, marketing, selling and distribution.
·  
Expand the consumer base to non-Hispanics by positioning non-alcoholic, beverage brands as an alternative and healthier option to cola.

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. is currently operating pursuant to an exclusive brand licensing agreement entered into with GRAN NEVADA Beverage Inc.  In order to generate revenues, we must do the following:

1.   The Company must develop its current brands and actively seek additional strategic acquisitions of successful brands of Hispanic and Ethnic inspired foods and beverages industry.

2.  Continually develop and implement a marketing and advertising plan:  In order to promote and establish a public presence for its brands.  We may seek additional acquisitions which complement our business plan, however, we anticipate that our current brands can be further developed allowing us to achieve profitability.  We intend to continuously generate awareness of our products through the implementation of multiple marketing platforms.

3.   Create customer loyalty: The Company recognizes that the Hispanic population is not homogenous, and that each segment of the population is loyal to brands that best recreate the nostalgic essence of foods and drinks from their native countries. We are focused on bringing these traditional flavors to all Americans for the purpose of establishing customer loyalty.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for investors of substantial financial means who have no need for initial liquidity in their investments.  Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors:

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

We are seeking additional financing to expand our intended acquisition of Hispanic and Ethnic food and beverage brand. If we are unable to obtain funding when needed, our business may not grow

We need additional capital to continue to grow our core competencies and to expand into new, industry related opportunities. We will be required to fund the growth of our existing operations through the sale of equity shares and will not be able to continue our current growth if we are unsuccessful in selling such shares.  Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing common stock.

Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may jeopardize our ability to continue to grow our existing business and operations.

If we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with our targeted customer base, we would not be able to continue with operations

We intend to establish strong relationships with our customer base by offering high quality products through a marketing plan designed to create brand loyalty.  There is intense competition for these relationships and we may not be able to attract and retain these relationships in light of competitors with larger budgets and pre-existing relationships. If we cannot successfully secure these relationships, our business would be adversely affected and any investment made into the Company could be lost in its entirety.

Our success is dependent on our officers and directors to properly manage the Company and their loss or unavailability could cause the business to fail

We are heavily dependent on the personal efforts, experience and abilities of our Officers and Directors.  They have been and continue to expect to be able to commit full time to the continuing development of the Company’s business plan. The loss or unavailability of their services would have a materially adverse effect on our business prospects and potential earning capacity.  We do not currently carry any insurance to compensate for any such loss.

As a result of becoming a reporting company, our expenses will increase significantly

As a result of becoming a reporting company whose shares are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, our ongoing expenses are expected to increase significantly, including expenses in compensation to our officer, ongoing public company expenses, including increased legal, accounting expenses as a result of our status as a reporting company, and expenses incurred in complying with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These increased expenses may negatively impact our ability to become profitable.
 
 
 
4

 

Changing and unpredictable market conditions may impact the demand for our products

There can be no guarantee that current demand for our programs will continue. There are several other companies currently offering similar products and if these companies are successful in developing new marketing programs, our marketing programs may become obsolete and undesirable in the marketplace. In such a scenario, our current products may become less desirable by our intended customer base.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

We are controlled by current officers, directors and principal stockholders

Our officers and directors and principal founding stockholders beneficially own approximately 42% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If the full amount of common shares offered through this registration statement is subscribed for, our officers and directors and founding shareholders would control 35% of the issued and outstanding common stock. In addition, our controlling shareholders have 1 million shares of Series A preferred shares which provide 50 votes per share on all corporate actions. So long as our officers and directors and principal founding stockholders control a majority of our fully diluted equity, they will continue to have the ability to elect our directors and determine the outcome of votes by our stockholders on corporate matters, including mergers, sales of all or substantially all of our assets, charter amendments and other matters requiring stockholder approval. This controlling interest may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party investors.

If you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution

The $0.25 per share offering price of the common stock being sold under this prospectus has been arbitrarily set. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or net worth and it is not an indication of actual value. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution. You may also suffer additional dilution in the future from the sale of additional shares of common stock or other securities.

There is currently no market for Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. common stock, but if a market for our common stock does develop, our stock price may be volatile

There is currently no market for our common stock and there is no assurance that a market will develop. If a market develops, it is anticipated that the market price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors including:

· 
The ability to become an industry leader in the Hispanic (and Ethic) food and beverage market in the US.
 

 
 
5

 
· 
The ability to maximize profits by selling products with the highest possible margins;

· 
The ability to generate brand recognition of the Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. products and acceptance by customers;

· 
The ability to manage increased competition from competitors who offer competing products;

· 
Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations.

While Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. intends to have a market maker apply for quotation on the OTCQB  (OTCQB), we may not be approved, and even if approved, we may not be approved for trading on the OTCQB; therefore shareholders may not have a market to sell their shares, either in the near term or in the long term

We can provide no assurance to investors that our common stock will be traded on any exchange or electronic quotation service. While we intend to have a market maker apply for quotation on the OTCQB, we may not be approved to trade on the OTCQB, and we may not meet the requirements for listing on the OTCQB.  If we do not meet the requirements of the OTCQB, our stock may then be traded on the “Pink Sheets,” and the market for resale of our shares would decrease dramatically, if not be eliminated.

There are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered, including penny stock regulations under the U.S. federal securities laws. These restrictions may adversely affect the ability of investors to resell their shares

We anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in “penny stocks.”  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares. These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
 
 
 
6

 

Future sales of the Company’s common stock by the selling shareholders could cause our stock price to decline

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of the Company’s common stock or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales by the Selling Shareholders named herein of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales by the Selling Shareholders may occur, could cause the trading price of our stock to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Because there is no minimum number of shares to be sold and the Company has not, and may never generate a profit, our business may fail prior to us ever becoming profitable resulting in a complete loss of any investment made into the company

We are offering the public up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock; however, there is no minimum amount of stock that must be sold prior to us utilizing the proceeds from the offering.  We have never generated revenues and we may never be able to generate revenues in the future.  As such we may be forced out of business prior to ever beginning operations and generating revenues in which case investors would lose their entire investment.


If you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution

The $0.25 per share offering price of the common stock being sold under this prospectus has been arbitrarily set. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or net worth and it is not an indication of actual value. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution. You may also suffer additional dilution in the future from the sale of additional shares of common stock or other securities.


CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements relating to revenue, revenue composition, demand and pricing trends, future expense levels, competition in our industry, trends in average selling prices and gross margins, the transfer of certain manufacturing operations to contract manufacturers, product and infrastructure development, market demand and acceptance, the timing of and demand for products, customer relationships, employee relations, plans and predictions for acquired companies and assets, future acquisition plans, restructuring charges, the incurrence of debt, and the level of expected capital and research and development expenditures. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, estimates made by, and information currently available to the Company’s management and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Any other statements contained herein (including without limitation statements to the effect that the Company or management “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “projects,” “continues,” “may,” “could,” or “would” or statements concerning “potential” or “opportunity” or variations thereof or comparable terminology or the negative thereof) that are not statements of historical fact, reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and any other statements of a future or forward looking nature are forward looking statements. The actual results of the Company may vary materially from those expected or anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The realization of such forward-looking statements may be impacted by certain important unanticipated factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Because of these and other factors that may affect our operating results, our past performance should not be considered as an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical results to anticipate results or trends in future periods. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this and other documents that we file from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Sales of Shares by Our Company

The Company plans to offer for sale on self-underwritten, best efforts, no minimum basis 2,000,000 common shares at a fixed price of $0.25 per share. There is no minimum number of common shares that we have to sell. There are no minimum purchase requirements. The offering will be for a period of 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus or terminated sooner at our sole discretion.

Currently, we plan to sell the shares in our Company’s offering through solicitations made by our officers and directors; they will not receive any commission from the sale of any shares. They do not intend to make any general advertisements. The officers and directors intend to utilize their personal network of contacts to solicit purchases of the common stock. They do not intend to utilize any materials other than the registration statement and prospectus contained therein in connection with any offers or sales of securities. The officers and directors will not register as a broker/dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1.  Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. These conditions are as follows:

The person is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation;

The person is not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

The person is not, at the time of his participation, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and

The person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Act in that he (a) primarily performs, or is intended to primarily perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the Issuer other than in connection with transactions in securities; and (b) is not a broker-dealer, or an associated person of a broker-dealer, within the preceding twelve (12) months; and (c) does not participate in selling an offering of securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve (12) months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) (iii) of the Act, except that for securities issued pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the 12 months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one Rule 415 registration.. Our officers and directors have not, during the last twelve months, and will not, during the next twelve months, offer or sell securities for any other Issuer other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of the Act.

Our Company’s officers and directors do not intend to purchase shares in this offering.

We are subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and insofar as we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant under Regulation M. As a distribution participant, it would be unlawful for us, or any affiliated purchaser, to directly or indirectly bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, a covered security during the applicable restricted period. Note that Regulation M does not prohibit us from offering to sell or soliciting offers to buy our securities pursuant to this offering.

The direct offering of our shares will start on the effective date of this prospectus and continue for a period of up to 180 days unless earlier terminated at our sole discretion. Our direct offering will commence on the date the Securities and Exchange Commission declares this registration statement effective. After the declaration of effectiveness, if you decide to subscribe for any shares in this offering, you must do the following:

 
1.
execute and deliver a subscription agreement; and
 
2.
deliver a check or US$ denominated funds to us for acceptance or rejection. All checks for subscriptions must be made payable to “Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.”
 
If an underwriter is used in the resale of the shares, the Company will file a post-effective amendment to disclose the name of the underwriter and the material terms of any agreement.

We reserve the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All funds from any rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without deductions. Any incidental interest on a returned subscription will also be submitted to the rejected subscriber with a statement of calculation thereof based upon interest paid by our bank. Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within five business days after receipt by us.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the shares to be sold by means of this prospectus are referred to as the “selling shareholders”.  Each Selling Stockholder purchased the securities registered hereunder in the ordinary course of business of the Company. Other than registration rights granted by the Company in connection with the issuance of such securities at the time of purchase of the securities to be resold, no Selling Stockholder had any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly with any person to distribute the securities. The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any profit from the sale of such shares by the Selling Stockholders and any compensation received by any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
 
 
10

 

In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither, we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.

The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the shares as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

If any selling shareholders enters into an agreement to sell his or her shares to a broker/dealer as principal and the broker/dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker/dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker/dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.

We have advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker/dealers or others who will be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We have advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a “distribution” of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any “affiliated purchasers”, and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) until their participation in that distribution is complete. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class, as is the subject of the distribution. A “distribution” is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities “that is distinguished from ordinary trading transaction by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods”. We have advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any “stabilizing bid” or “stabilizing purchase” for purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this offering.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any Selling Stockholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will pay all fees, discounts and brokerage commissions in connection with any sales, including any fees to finders.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The shares of our common stock may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or the sale is entitled to an exemption from registration.
 
 
 
11

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under Regulation M under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to the common stock for a specified period set forth in Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution and until its completion. In addition and with limiting the foregoing, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by Selling Stockholders. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock offered hereby. There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

We will pay all expenses of preparing and reproducing this prospectus with respect to the offer and sale of the shares of common stock registered for sale under this prospectus, including expenses or compliance with state securities laws and filing fees with the SEC. We expect such expenses related to the issuance and distribution of the shares of common stock offered by us and the Selling Stockholders to be approximately $15,000.

The Company is registering for offer and sale by the holders thereof 1,562,500 of common stock held by such shareholders. All the Selling Shareholders’ Shares registered hereby will become tradable on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

The following table sets forth ownership of the shares held by each person who is a selling shareholder.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act

Our shares are “penny stocks” covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.

Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.

Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker/dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.

Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Since our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers, many broker/dealers may not want to make a market in our shares or conduct any transactions in our shares. As such, your ability to dispose of your shares may be adversely affected.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We have 10,237,500 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding subsequent to a 1 for 2 reverse split effected on August 1, 2013. The reverse split occurred subsequent to the date of the financial statements included in this registration statement. There is currently no public market for our common stock and there can be no guarantee that any such market will ever develop.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share in the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

The holders of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared, from time to time, by our board of directors, in its discretion, out of any assets of the Company legally available.

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders will be distributed among the holders of common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each.

Holders of common stock generally have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preemptive Rights

No holder of any shares of Hispanica International Delights of America’s stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.

Non-Cumulative Voting

Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of AEP’s directors.
 
 
 
14

 

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue  10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized at $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof, the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred pursuant to a Consulting Agreement between the Company and the Company’s founders. Each preferred share has 50 votes per share on all corporate matters.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Stockholders’ rights and related matters are governed by Delaware corporate law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. Certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware may discourage or have the effect of delaying or deferring potential changes in control of the Company. The cumulative effect of these terms may be to make it more difficult to acquire and exercise control of the Company and to make changes in management. Furthermore, these provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to participate in a tender or exchange offer for common stock and in so doing may diminish the market value of the common stock.

One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock may be to enable our board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company and thereby protect the continuity of or entrench our management, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal were not in the best interests of the Company, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise provided under Delaware law.

Dividend Policy

The payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business.

Transfer Agent

Our transfer agent is Signature Stock Transfer, Inc. located at 2632 Coachlight Court, Plano Texas 75093. Telephone (972) 612-4120.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Background

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (“HIDA”) is a Delaware corporation and is a development stage business which has commenced initial operations pursuant to an exclusive brand license agreement with GRAN NEVADA Beverage, Inc.

Currently, the Company has three directors who have assumed responsibility for all planning, development and operational duties and will continue to do so throughout the beginning stages of the Company. Although there are no employees at this time, we do anticipate hiring them as the need arises.

HIDA has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, HIDA has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. HIDA is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.

HIDA currently has no intention to engage in a merger with an unidentified company.  We may pursue strategic acquisitions of additional branded products that complement our current business model within the beverage and food industry which may allow us to expand our operations on a national basis.

HIDA’s fiscal year end is July 31.

Business of Issuer

Our principal executive offices are located at 1311 Jackson Avenue, Suite 5D, Long Island City, NY 11101 and our telephone number is (516) 867-8383.

The Market

The expanding appetite for Latino cuisine among non-Hispanic Americans, combined with the rapid increase in the U.S.’s Hispanic population, will be a boom for the $7 billion Hispanic food and beverage market in 2010, helping to drive sales to $10 billion in 2014, according to Hispanic Food and Beverages in the U.S.: Market and Consumer Trends in Latino Cuisine, 4th Edition, the latest market research study by publisher Packaged Facts. This is a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.33%.
 
 
 
17

 

Along with population growth, buying power within the Hispanic population is expected to increase significantly in the next four to five years. Packaged Facts projects that the buying power of Latinos will reach $1.3 trillion in 2013, up from $984 billion in 2008, representing a CAGR of 5.73% and a cumulative growth rate of 31%. In addition, Hispanic shoppers spend more than other groups on food consumed at home, due to the importance of family mealtime and larger family units.

·  
The $7 billion Hispanic food market is expected to reach $10 billion by 2014
·  
In addition to sales, the buying power within the Hispanic population is expected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2013, up from $984 million in 2008, an increase of 31%
·  
Hispanic shoppers spend significantly more on foods consumed at home due to larger family units and an emphasis on the importance of family mealtime.
·  
The three “groups” of products—Authentic Mexican, Nuevo Latino and Mainstream Mexican are all expected to see sale growth. However, the most significant growth is predicted to be non—Hispanic consumption in the Authentic Mexican and Nuevo Latino categories. Whereas some traditional drinks of South America like Yerba Mate lack desirability to mainstream, GRAN NEVADA has formulated its beverages to have a certain wide mass appeal.

Packaged Facts foodservice coverage focuses on outlets that are owned and operated or founded by immigrants from Latin American countries or Hispanic-Americans and which feature exclusively or predominantly Hispanic menus. The report also includes coverage of the expanding presence of Hispanic foods and beverages in traditional American foodservice outlets.

The variety of starters on menus is one of the hottest trends on the restaurant scene right now—so much so that entrees are taking a back seat to small plates, according to 2011 National Restaurant Association, Menu Insights. Ethnic/street food-inspired appetizers like tempura, taquitos, kabobs, dumplings, dim sum and hummus are growing increasingly popular among consumers. This opens the door for trying new beverages such as those offered by the GRAN NEVADA brand.

Demographic Trends

Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the last decade, exceeding estimates in most states, reported the Associated Press March 24, 2011. “Pulled by migration to the Sun Belt, America’s population center edged westward on a historic path to leave the Midwest.”

Market Trends

Hispanic foods and beverages achieved sales close to $7 billion in 2009, according to “Hispanic Food and Beverages in the U.S.: Market and Consumer Trends in Latino Cuisine, 4th Edition.” This represented an increase of 28.7% from $5.4 billion in 2005. Analysts predict continued aggressive growth through 2014, with sales projected to top $9.5 billion in 2014.

HIDA is growing by filling unmet demand by an increasing number of Hispanic consumers. The U.S. population of Hispanic consumers wields a formidable combination of fiscal optimism and buying power in excess of $1 trillion, making progressively more acculturated Latinos a demographic capable of shaping the nation’s future economic and marketing trajectory, according to a new report, “Latino Shoppers: Demographic Patterns and Spending Trends Among Hispanic Americans, 8th Edition,” by Packaged Facts. Hispanic buying power is projected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2015, a cumulative increase of around 25%.

The U.S. refreshment beverage market grew by 1.2% in 2010, based on preliminary data from Beverage Marketing Corporation. This represented a significant improvement from the back-to-back declines of the previous two years. Just as the weakened economy hampered beverages’ performance in 2008 and 2009, improved conditions contributed to their rebound. Total liquid refreshment beverage volume exceeded 29 billion gallons in 2010. The market targeted by HIDA, however, remain robust and relatively lower valuation ratios enable the Company to make acquisitions less expensively.

Market Segmentation

Packaged Facts separates the Hispanic food and beverage market into three segments:
·  
Mainstream Mexican (tortillas, salsa, tacos, burritos, nachos, refried beans, Tex-Mex cuisine, and other products that have become part of the American culture);
·  
Authentic Hispanic (products either imported from Hispanic countries to the U.S. or products made domestically that use traditional recipes); and
·  
Nuevo Latino (products with south-of-the border flair, including traditional American foods made with Hispanic ingredients, as well as unique new creations that melt a variety of Hispanic flavors and food traditions).

In particular, Authentic Hispanic and Nuevo Latino are garnering substantial salves boosts from America’s population of adventurous food enthusiasts known as “foodies.” The demand has caused new Hispanic food products to be produced by manufacturers seeking to increase variety to meet the American appetite for new and different options. Foodservice operators are also creating innovative and exciting dishes to keep up with consumer demand.

“All three segments of Hispanic food are becoming increasingly available throughout the U.S. due to expanded distribution through both retail and foodservice outlets and expanded awareness of these products as a result of mass communications on television and the Internet about Hispanic foods and cooking techniques,” says Don Montuori, publisher of Packaged Facts.

Mexicans are by far the largest Hispanic-origin population in the U.S., accounting for nearly two thirds (64%) of the U.S. Hispanic population in 2012. It is a “powerhouse consumer demographic.” A record 33.7 million Hispanics of Mexican origin resided in the U.S. in 2012, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by Pew Research Center. HIDA is responding to this by creating product lines that are in the highest demand by this demographic.

The US census reported the number of Hispanics grew to 52 million as of 2011, making people of Hispanic origin the nations’ largest race or ethnic minority. The projected Hispanic population of the United States is projected to reach 102.6 million on July 1, 2050. According to this projection, Hispanics will constitute 24 percent of the nation’s total population on that date.

HIDA’s sales will jump from the acquisition of a distributor shortly after financing; however long-run revenue dominance is expected from distribution acquisitions.

GRAN NEVADA offers the only al natural, not from concentrate, preservative-free brand of Aguas Frescas (Mexican Horchata, Horchata de Morro, Tamarindo, Hibiscus, Mango, Guava, Pineapple, and Limeade) available in the U.S. today. The GRAN NEVADA brand is geared heavily towards the Hispanic market, but its delicious flavors appeal to almost any palate.

GRAN NEVADA drinks emulate the flavors, which have been known for generations among the Hispanic, Asian, and other world cultures, which we are now bringing to the mass markets in the United States

GRAN NEVADA is dedicated to building long-term relationships with its consumers through superior products and high quality packaging. Its first line of beverages is known as Aguas Frescas and consists of a refreshing array of nostalgic flavors! As seen below, GRAN NEVADA has a variety of frescas fruit flavors, Hibiscus tea, Tamarind and the irresistible, rice and cinnamon, milk, and sugar Horchata.

GRAN NEVADA’s Rosa de Jamaica is made using dried flower petals from the flower Hibiscus sabdariffa. Jamaica (pronounced “ha-my-kah”) or hibiscus sabdariffa, is also known as roselle in some parts of the world. These flowers grow naturally in Latin America and are renowned for their deep scarlet hue, which in turn give the Rosa de Jamaica its distinctive red color. Hibiscus is also a natural antioxidant and diuretic which helps the body process vitamins and minerals properly.

Tamarind is made by using the pulp of the exotic tamarind fruit; an ice-cold bottle of GRAN NEVADA Aguas Frescas Tamarindo is perfect for quenching the deepest of thirsts. The Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a tropical tree, native to eastern Africa, but was introduced into most of tropical Asia as well as Latin America and the Caribbean. The tree’s fruit is a brown pod-like legume, which contains a soft pulp and many hard-coated seeds. GRAN NEVADA Agua de Tamarindo is not just delicious but also very high in Vitamin C—which some studies have shown helps to bolster the immune system.

Horchata Mexicana

This ancient cold refreshing Latin drink dates back over 1000 years. Horchata is a rice based drink made with fresh milk, water, and the right blend of authentic flavors and spices. We have honored the tradition of this popular Mexican and Central American drink by using only the best quality ingredients. We invite you to enjoy this delicious, cold, refreshing drink that has been embedded in the Latin American culture for generations.

Horchata de Morro

A Ready to Drink (RTD-Shelf Stable) Horchata de Morro was first introduced by GRAN NEVADA in 2011, and is manufactured by one of the only three companies in the country capable of producing such a beverage. Horchata is milk based with flavorings of rice, cinnamon, sesame, vanilla, and the exotic natural morro flavor which is best known and traditional the Central American market. As seen in our Google search, horchata is gaining popularity. The retail price – point for the product is competitive and ranges from $1.39 to $1.59 per can.

Hibiscus

One of the ingredients that define an authentic Hispanic beverage is hibiscus. It is one out of eight initial GRAN NEVADA SKUs. Hibiscus sabdariffa, or roselle, as it is known in some parts of the world, also has a long list of attractive characteristics. Recent studies note that the flower is rich in riboflavin, niacin, calcium and iron and that it contains antioxidants including flavonoids, gossypetine, hibiscetine and sadderetine. Hibiscus may “be like pomegranate waiting to happen…the next big thing in juice.”

Forbes published “Hibiscus Flowers Help Your Heart” in Sept. 2004, and internet searches for hibiscus follow a consistent cycle of peaking mid-year, and having the fewest internet searches around New Years. The Telegraph in UK reported in 2009, “Hibiscus could cut blood pressure.” Marketing the botanical’s health properties has brought consumers and competitors into the hibiscus beverage industry


Business Growth Objectives

HIDA intends to consolidate food and beverage brands into a single entity designed for Hispanic consumers and other demographics with a growing appreciation for Latin American cuisine. Brands sought by HIDA are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, non-alcoholic beverages targeted toward Hispanic and ethnic-neutral consumers.

The potential success of a product focused on a certain ethnic demographic can be demonstrated with Greek yogurt. It had always been around only in “ethnic” supermarkets. On March 16, 2012, the Chicago Tribune reported “In each of the last three years, sales of Greek yogurt have surged more than 100 percent, while non-Greek yogurt has grown at a single-digit pace, according to consumer data tracker Nielsen.” In 2011, Greek yogurt accounted for 20 percent of total yogurt sales, according to market researcher SymphonyIRI.

This is exactly what Vita Coco has done in the coconut water category under the emphasis of functional food. HIDA’s hibiscus product also has a “functional food story.” HIDA is aiming to replicate the success of some of the great beverage product introductions by capitalizing on the shift from distributing with only ethnic grocer distributors to “mainstream beverage” distributors.

The Company’s success not only depends on distribution but also the product flavors, blends, tastes and the quality of ingredients, in addition to the Company’s ability to control input costs, manufacturing expense and deliver a consistent product.

Strategies
1.  
Identify, research, evaluate, and negotiate for a controlling position in a distributorship with established sales between $1.2M-$1.8M.
2.  
Increase licensed and acquired brand sales.
3.  
Enhance marketing of beverages in a ready-to-drink mode. Many of the Hispanic beverages are sold as flavored powders, which are mixed with milk or water to prepare a drink. However in the U.S there has been a trend toward completely prepared foods and ready-to-drink beverages; this is particularly true of younger consumers. The Hispanic population tends to be younger than the general population.
 
 
 
21

 
 
4.  
Marketing beverages that require no refrigeration. This allows HIDA’s brands to be stocked anywhere in a store, rather than needing to be in the refrigerated section.
5.  
Setting retail price points at levels which are competitive with competing drinks
6.  
Selling directly to retail POS through wholly owned distributors and to distributors that already sell products to the Hispanic market. A few regional distributors have been selected that already have established large number of strategically located POS (points of sales.) These distributors have distribution channels in the New York City and Washington, D.C. metropolitan regions.
7.  
Supporting product introduction at significant retail outlets with temporary in-store personnel displaying the HIDA brands and offering “tastings.”
8.  
Point-of-sale promotional materials, signs on vehicles, and on t-shirts for in-store demonstration personnel and consumer sales.

Marketing Strategy

Ser Padres, a magazine distributed to over 3.4 million Spanish speaking Latinos, dedicates 20% of its editorial space to food. There is no category larger.

HIDA has vast marketing and distribution experience, and this could manifest a relationship with management’s decision to enter into a contract with or as a consulting firm. However, no such revenue is projected, nor is management precluded from such activity independently.

Food services and drinking places spend about 2.26% of revenue on advertising. On average, across all industries businesses spend about 3% of revenue on advertising. In some cases, the Company may associate its products with icon entertainers, sports figures, celebrities and destinations to improve the effectiveness of its marketing efforts.

The Company expects that its products will have tremendous crossover appeal with different ethnic groups, particularly the Asian-American community. This is not surprising, as Asians own many of the medium-size grocers in the Hispanic communities.

The milk industry spent just two cents per gallon on advertising in 2002, while soft drinks spent four cents a gallon, and sports drinks spent 17 cents a gallon. These ratios are not expected to be significantly different today. Bottled water spends just 1 cent per gallon, according to MilkDelivers.org.

In the 2009 Mercury Media Hispanic Index , brands that allocated, on average, 24% of their media spend to a separate and unique Hispanic campaign, saw their overall sales revenue increase by an average of 47% and their revenue net of media spend grow by 71%. The decision to target Hispanics is not a zero sum allocation, reports Mercury Media. Incremental spending against this segment will result in a return above and beyond initial investment.

Widespread use of “in-store demos,” in which the Company’s brand gives samples to store customers, have been used by management in the past to initiate sales in new markets. Consumers are attracted to the health benefits of hibiscus and nectars, however presenting employees are given strict instructions regarding the health claims that can be made regarding hibiscus. The net result should be increased brand recognition over a six month time frame. The Company will present at food expos, and use focus groups to help market the best products.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this prospectus.

Plan of Operation

We are a development stage company, incorporated on April 15, 2013 and have not started operations pursuant to an exclusive brand licensing agreement entered into with GRAN NEVADA Beverage, Inc.  See “Description of Business” contained herein.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve (12) months. Our auditors’ opinion is based on the uncertainty of our ability to establish profitable operations. The opinion results from the fact that we have not generated any revenues.  Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our Company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our operations. The money we raise in this offering will last 12 months, however we will require additional beyond the proceeds raised in this offering to get to a level of operations.

Our board of directors is responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. When these controls are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of the controls. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the Securities and Exchange Commission which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.

We must raise cash to implement our business plan. The minimum amount of funds raised from the offering that we feel will allow us to begin to implement our business strategy is $125,000. We feel if we can raise the maximum amount of the offering, $500,000, the Company will be able to accelerate the implementation of its business strategy.  However, there can be no assurance provided that even if we do raise the maximum from this offering that we will ever get to a level of operations or generate a profit.

Since incorporation, the Company has financed its operations through minimal initial capitalization.  As of May 31, 2013 we had $15,200 cash on hand.  We had total expenses of $26,273 which were related to start-up costs.

To date, the Company has commenced implementation of its fully planned principal operations and strategic business plan Pursuant to an exclusive license agreement with GRAN NEVADA Beverage, Inc.
 
 
 
24

 

The Company’s ability to grow its operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be raised in this offering.  If HIDA does not raise at least the minimum offering amount, it will be unable to establish a base of operations, without which it will be unable to begin to generate any revenues in the future..  If HIDA does not produce sufficient cash flow to support its operations over the next 12 months, the Company will need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern.  There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing.  HIDA cannot assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for operations to continue and any investment made by an investor would be lost in its entirety.

HIDA currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to sell in the near future.  

HIDA management anticipates hiring employees over the next twelve (12) months as needed. Currently, the Company believes the services provided by its officers and directors appear sufficient at this time.

The Company has not paid for expenses on behalf of any director.  Additionally, HIDA believes that this policy shall not materially change within the next twelve months.

The Company has no plans to seek a business combination with another entity in the foreseeable future, however, may entertain strategic acquisitions of food and beverage distributors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Conflict of Interest

The current officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in additional business opportunities.  If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such person may face a conflict in selecting between our business interest and their other business interests.  The policy of the Board is that any personal business or corporate opportunity incurred by an officer or director of HIDA must be examined by the Board and turned down by the Board in a timely basis before an officer or director can engage or take advantage of a business opportunity which could result in a conflict of interest.

The founder's shares as disclosed herein were issued to our officers and directors in April 2013.  The Company believes that the issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

None of the following parties has, since the date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with the Company or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:

 
·
The Officer and Director;

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

Our By-laws provide for the elimination of the personal liability of our officers, directors, corporate employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Delaware law. Under such provisions, the director, officer, corporate employee or agent who in his/her capacity as such is made or threatened to be made, party to any suit or proceeding, shall be indemnified if it is determined that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2013 and 2012
 
 
Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization
Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. ("HIDA" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013.  The Company has been in the development stage since inception and has not generated any sales to date.  The Company plans to market traditional Hispanic and ethnic food recipes and will license and/or acquire existing brands and distributors of Hispanic products.
 
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:
 
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or services are performed.  Provision for sales returns are estimated based on the Company's historical return experience.  Revenue is presented net of returns.
 
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Segment Information
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, "Segment Reporting".  The Company currently operates in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
 
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during each reporting period.  Diluted net (loss) income per common share adjusts the weighted average common shares for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents (convertible debt and preferred stock, warrants, stock options and restricted stock shares and units) were exercised or converted into common stock.  There were no common stock equivalents at May 31, 2013.

Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information.  A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value using an option pricing model.  ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates.
 
Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity.  The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Note 6.  BASIS OF REPORTING
 
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company has experienced a loss from operations during its development stage as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature.  For the period from April 15, 2013 (inception) to May 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $26,000.  In addition, the Company has no significant assets or revenue generating operations.
 
The Company currently does not have sufficient cash to sustain itself for the next 12 months, and will require additional funding in order to execute its plan of operations and to continue as a going concern.  To meet its cash needs, management expects to raise capital through a private placement offering.  In the event that this funding does not materialize, certain stockholders have agreed, orally, to loan, on a non-interest bearing demand basis, sufficient funds to maintain the Company's operations for the next 12 months.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
 
Note 7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. Bylaws provide for the indemnification of present or former directors or officers.  HIDA indemnifies any director, officer, employee or agent who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense on any action or suit.  Such indemnification shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, expenses, including attorney’s fees actually or reasonably incurred by officers and directors.  Delaware law also provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at HIDA request as an officer or director.  HIDA may indemnify such individual against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is a director or officer.  Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, HIDA best interests.  In a criminal action, he must not have had a reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Delaware Law
 
Pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Statutes, HIDA shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

UNDERTAKINGS

The registrant hereby undertakes:

To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

       (i)  Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
      (ii)  Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement;
 
     (iii)  Include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 

For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
 
 
41

 

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
      
(iv)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; 
 
(v)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(vi)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(vii)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
