PART I

 

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (the “Company” or “HISP”) was incorporated on April 15, 2013 and is a Delaware company that is dedicated to building one of the premier companies distributing ethnic inspired food and beverages throughout the United States.  HISP has already begun to distribute fruit juices, nectars, and milk based products and intends to distribute teas, carbonated drinks, dry goods, preserves, and bakery products. These brands emulate the flavors, tastes, and traditions which have been known for generations among the Hispanic and other ethnic groups which are now becoming part of the American mainstream diet. The brands distributed are under a proprietary basis (through distribution agreements and/or exclusive licensing arrangements). In October 2013, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada” or “GN”), an entity related through common management. The agreement provides the Company with the right to sell and distribute Gran Nevada's beverages in Texas and California with purchase prices at the then applicable wholesale prices charged to Gran Nevada's distributors. The agreement is for an initial term of five years with automatic renewals of successive five year terms unless terminated. HISP initiated sales and distribution operations in March 2014.

 

 

CURRENT OPERATIONS

 

Sales 

 

HISP currently markets and sells traditional Hispanic beverages. The Company plans to market and sell traditional Hispanic and ethnic food packaged products and will license and/or acquire existing brands and distributors of Hispanic products. Brands sought by HISP are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, non-alcoholic beverages as well as all natural food products that targeted toward Hispanic and ethnic-neutral consumers.

 

Production and Distribution

 

The Company buys pre-packaged goods for distribution through various channels. The Company began distributing the beverage products of Gran Nevada in the third fiscal quarter of 2014. Gran Nevada is the sole manufacturer for its product line, and there are no alternate suppliers in the event that Gran Nevada or its suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide HISP with the products needed to meet demand.

 

As of May 2015, Gran Nevada had eight (8) SKUs that are manufactured in North America. Gran Nevada intends to expand to 13 SKUs by adding five new product lines of popular existing flavors in larger formats. HISP currently sells 70% of its products through distributors to grocery stores, which want larger containers for home consumption and food service markets rather than just the current eight single serve products. YaYa Foods will package the Horchata de Morro and Mexican Horchata 1 liter Tetra Pack cartons. Mrs. Clark's has been selected to bottle GN’s Tamarind, Mango & Guava flavors in 64oz PET containers. The Gran Nevada products distributed are all natural, not from concentrate, preservative-free Aguas Frescas (Mexican Horchata, Horchata de Morro, Tamarindo, Hibiscus, Mango, Guava, Pineapple, and Limeade). These products are geared towards the Hispanic market, but may appeal to almost any palate. An important part of HISP's overall strategy will be expansion through the acquisition of distributors.

 

HISP has sales through several distributors and regularly seeks to broaden its distribution channels. The Company has engaged third party sales and marketing brokers in many areas of the country. The Company also intends to sell directly to retailers, including large chain stores. Direct to retail, or Direct Store Delivery (DSD) enables manufacturers to offer better prices to retailers, which results in higher gross margins for retailers.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company is in the process of securing a trademark for its name and logo. HISP does not have a trademark for Hispanica International Delights of America as of August 2015.

Competition

 

As a distributor of Hispanic and Ethnic packaged food products, the Company expects to have a portfolio of products that will not only include beverages. The main competitors of the Company include Goya Foods, Marquez Brothers International, Diaz Foods, La Fe Foods International, Grace Foods, as well as other regional Ethnic Food Distributors. HISP will focus on selecting brands of all natural packaged foods. Although some competitors are selling and distributing similar products, they use different packaging options and in particular market foods that have high contents of artificial flavors, colors, and sweeteners as well high sodium contents. Additionally, our competitors import the majority of their distributed products, which are made with lower quality and price point raw materials. HISP will focus on distributing all natural products as well as obtaining exclusive rights to brands that can be manufactured closer to its U.S. market base. HISP is committed to building long-term relationships with its consumers by offering superior, high quality products at the most competitive prices.

 

The packaged beverage market is highly competitive. Competitors in our market compete for brand recognition, ingredient sourcing, qualified personnel, distribution and product shelf space.  As a developing company, a majority of our competitors are more established and better capitalized than HISP.  The packaged beverage market is generally dominated by the largest beverage providers, including The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc.  Many of our competitors enjoy significant brand recognition and consumer confidence and are able to readily secure shelf space and media attention for their products. Many of our competitors also have existing relationships with the same distribution channels and retailers through which we sell our products. We intend to compete in the market by offering consumers affordable products that taste better and possess a longer shelf life than most products in the market.

 

Government Regulation

 

Packaged beverage and juice products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As such, it is necessary for the Company to ensure its products distributed establish, maintain and make available for inspection, records and labels with nutrition information that meet legal food labeling requirements. The Company’s products are manufactured by contracted production facilities that are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.

 

Employees

 

As of May 31, 2015, the Company had no full-time employees. Personnel are independent contractors or insider owners who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation. The Company mitigates the need for a production staff by purchasing finished inventory. The Company has contracted with food brokers to represent Gran Nevada® to retail stores nationally. In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies, which sell our products through their distribution channels. This can mitigate the need for a large sales and merchandising force. The Company also outsources its logistics to third-parties, which can reduce the need for employees in these roles.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Stamps Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company: until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirements to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report.  These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

 

All of our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this filing. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Use of Estimates  — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-based Compensation  — ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

 

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 to eliminate certain financial reporting requirements. In accordance with that pronouncement we have elected to adopt the elimination of certain financial reporting requirements including the presentation of inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholder’s deficiency and labeling the financial statements as those of a development stage entity.

 

In May 2014, FASB and IASB issued a new joint revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The core principal of the standard is that revenue recognition should depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2017 and the effects of the standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are not known at this time.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements

Revenues

 

The Company commenced distribution of Gran Nevada products in April 2013 in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas and California.  The eight products distributed from Gran Nevada (http://www.grannevadabeverage.com) are all 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 United States today. Revenues from its eight products for the year ended May 31, 2015 were $214,502, an increase of 111% from $101,781 in sales in the previous fiscal year.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of Goods Sold includes finished goods, freight-in, and warehousing expense.  For the year ended May 31, 2015, cost of goods sold was $240,017, or 112% of sales compared to the year ended May 31, 2014 when cost of goods sold was $128,885, or 127% of sales. The negative gross profit was primarily the result of pricing discounts offered to acquire market share.

For the year ended May 31, 2015, operating expenses were $184,258, an increase of $36,041 or 24% over operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2014 of $148,217.  HISP continued to incur costs associated with launching commercial operations in the year ended May 31, 2015. The expenses consisted primarily of (a) professional advisory service fees and consulting fees, which were $152,900 for the year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to $137,324 during the year ended May 31, 2014,  (b) marketing, promotional, licensing and related fees, which were $3,417 for the year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to $400 during the year ended May 31, 2014, (c) travel, which was $1,485 during the year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to $1,529 during the year ended May 31, 2014, and (d) miscellaneous, which was $26,456 during the year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to $8,964 during the year ended May 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

During the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company received cash proceeds of $112,000 as a result of the Company’s sale of common stock through the offering dated September 1, 2014 and the sale of common stock in June 2014. The Company utilized the majority of these funds for operations and distribution, as well as to promote and market the business.  Additionally, the Company used some of the funds for administrative costs, including legal fees, audit fees and compensation costs.

 

Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company received additional cash proceeds of $6,000 from the sale of common stock.

 

Working Capital Needs

 

The Company has insufficient cash on hand to fund the operations of the Company through May 2016. Although our operations have begun to generate increased cash flow they are not yet at the point that they will be able to maintain our operations. Management will continue to seek financing or raise funds through private placements so the Company will be able to meet its obligations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in  Internal Control-Integrated Framework  . Based on this evaluation, our officers concluded that, during the period covered by this annual report, our internal controls over financial reporting were operating effectively.

  

As previously reported, the Company does not have an audit committee and is not currently obligated to have one. Although it remains management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, management does not believe that the lack of an audit committee could result in a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements in the near future. Accordingly, management has concluded that this deficiency alone does not constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and has considered the foregoing in its determination that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

 

Attestation Report

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as such report is not required for non-accelerated filers.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended May 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Presto’s Hispanic beverage brand, SolMaya, grew from zero to over $2 million in sales. This is primarily why he was selected as a director of HISP. Previously, he worked for almost a decade in the financial industry, initially as a sales executive with regional financial firms and later for a major clearinghouse on Wall Street. Prior to his financial service industry experience, he successfully operated a business that distributed recorded music to retailers in the U.S., Mexico and Colombia.

Director, Juan Carlos Romagosa, is currently the managing director and founder of Latin Sales & Marketing, LLC. (“LSM“), founded in 2012. LSM is a leading brokerage/marketing/consulting firm innovating the retail, foodservice and private label sector of the Hispanic consumer packed goods industry. LSM facilitates the emergence of major Latin manufacturers and US manufacturers for the steadily growing Hispanic market in the USA. Mr. Romagosa's extensive experience and relationships, within the Hispanic and Ethnic Food industry, will benefit the Board of Hispanica as it positions the company, its management, its products, and its distribution channels in becoming a leading edge company in the fastest growing segment of the food industry.

 

Mr. Romagosa was the managing director and partner of Falcon International Distributors, LLC., a leading ethnic foods distributor on the east coast, holding a chief procurement role for over ten years.

Mr. Romagosa is an Alumni of Saint John's University where he studied Finance, Business Administration, and Marketing.

 

Board Committees

 

The Company has not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. Our three directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

 

Shareholder Communications

 

Currently, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. We believe that the Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

The Chairman and CEO of HISP, Mr. Fernando “Oswaldo” Leonzo, owns no shares in GN but is GN’s current President.  Mr. Leonzo owns 31% of HISP consisting of 3,800,000 common shares for which he paid $7,000 or $0.002 per share and 600,000 preferred shares valued at $600 which he received for services rendered to the Company. The ownership of GN is as follows: 70% by Olympic Beverage, LLC (solely owned and controlled by Mr. Jose Fidel Cabrera Escobar), 12% Robert Gunther, 16% among four other individuals. Of these individuals only Mr. Gunther owns 7% in HISP consisting of 900,000 common shares for which he paid $1,200 or $0.002 per share and 300,000 preferred shares valued at $300 which he received for services rendered to the Company. There was also a short term Promissory Note dated May 23, 2013 for the amount of $7,500 from GN with an annual interest rate of 3% and due on August 31, 2013, which was paid back in full by HISP on June 14, 2013. As of this date, HISP does not owe any monies to GN.

 

The Company currently leases its offices on a month to month basis from Mr. Fernando "Oswaldo" Leonzo for $750 per month (Note 7). 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. There are no contracts, options, warrants, rights, licensing agreements, employment agreements or any other agreements of any kind between HISP and any of its current officers and directors.  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 corpora opportunity incurred by an officer or director of HISP 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 Common Shares as disclosed herein were sold to our officers and directors in April 2013. The Company believes that the issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Founders, Fernando “Oswaldo” Leonzo (Chairman & CEO), Robert Gunther (Treasurer, Secretary, Director & Chief Operations Officer), and Jerry Gruenbaum were issued the following Preferred Shares as founders for services rendered as Officers and Directors as of April 30, 2013, 600,000 Preferred Shares, 300,000 Preferred Shares, and 100,000 Preferred Shares respectively. Jerry Gruenbaum resigned as a director on April 16, 2015.  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:

 

16


 
 

•      The Officer and Director;

 

•      Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;

 

•      Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding shares of common stock;

 

•      Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who have the same home as such person.  

 

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to (and we do not) have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

 

Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its directors in reference to the definition of “independent director” established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In doing so, the Board of Directors has reviewed all commercial and other relationships of each director in making its determination as to the independence of its directors. After such review, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Devlin and Mr. Spinner qualify as independent under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.

Baldwin, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. as of May 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 10. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc., (A Development Stage Company) as of May 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from inception (April 15, 2013) to May 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 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 Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc., (A Development Stage Company) as of May 31, 2014 and 2013, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from inception (April 15, 2013) to May 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and is in the development stage. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 10. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.  
Notes to Financial Statements  
May 31, 2015 and 2014  
                   
Note 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES    

 

Nature of Operations

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. ( the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013. The Company has not generated significant sales to date. The Company currently markets and sells traditional Hispanice beverages. The Company plans to market and sell traditional Hispanic and ethnic food packaged products 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) 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.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share based on the authoritative guidance. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of May 31, 2015, the convertible note payable, which could be converted into 24,000 shares of common stock, is outstanding.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under the accrual method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of May 31, 2015, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock-Based

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 on the issuance date. 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.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining an allowance for potential credit losses. Uncollectible accounts are written off at the time they are deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable is reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management's estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected. As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.

Advertising

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense amounted to approximately $3,400 and $400 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs, included in costs of goods sold, amounted to approximately $15,000 and $2,000 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable – stockholders, and convertible note payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Recent Pronouncements

 In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 to eliminate certain financial reporting requirements. In accordance with that pronouncement we have elected to adopt the elimination of certain financial reporting requirements including the presentation of inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholder’s deficiency and labeling the financial statements as those of a development stage entity.

In May 2014, FASB and IASB issued a new joint revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that revenue recognition should depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2017 and the effects of the standard on the Company’s financial statements are not known at this time.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements

The debenture holder has the option of converting the debenture in whole or in part into the Company's common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share at any time prior to redemption. At May 31, 2015, accrued interest on the debenture was $438 and is reported as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Note 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In August 2013, the Company authorized a 1:2 reverse split. Consequently, the shares that were issued and outstanding at May 31, 2013 have been restated to reflect the effect of the reverse split.

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. At May 31, 2014, 11,202,700 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. At May 31, 2015, 12,168,905 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

For the year ended May 31, 2014, $6,000 was forgiven and converted to additional paid-in capital.

Note 8. INCOME TAXES

The benefit from income taxes consists of the following:

   May 31,
   2015  2014
Deferred Tax Asset:      
Net operating loss carryforward  $165,000   $80,000 
Valuation Allowance   (165,000)  (80,000)
Deferred tax asset, net  $—     $—   

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

   May 31,
   2015  2014
Statutory federal income tax rate   34%   34%
State income taxes, net of federal taxes   6%   6%

Note 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company purchases its inventory from a supplier related through common ownership and management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company is the supplier’s President. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company has a minority interest in the supplier. The amount of inventory purchased from this supplier during the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, was approximately $214,000 and $127,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, amounts payable to this supplier of $0 and $60,264 were reported as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Note 10. BASIS OF REPORTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred losses from inception of approximately $416,000, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional capital from the sales of stock, and receive additional loans from related parties. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
