PART I

 

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (the “Company” or “HISP”, “us”, “we” “our”) was incorporated on April 15, 2013 as a Delaware company and is engaged in the distribution of proprietary, licensed and third party Hispanic and ethnic food and beverages throughout the United States. HISP has already begun to distribute fruit juices, nectars, and milk based products and expects begin to distribute teas, carbonated drinks, dry goods, preserves, frozen foods and bakery products. The brands distributed are under a proprietary basis (through distribution agreements and/or exclusive licensing arrangements). Our brands emulate the flavors, tastes, and traditions which have been known for generations among the Hispanic and other ethnic groups and are now becoming part of the American mainstream diet.

 

Our objective is to grow as rapidly as possible (both organically and via strategic alliances and acquisitions) using the public capital markets for access to capital. The companies and assets sought by us will be those that already have market penetration in the following segments: (1) Food Distribution and Manufacturing; (2) Beverage Brands and (3) Distribution Food Service.

 

HISP exclusively distributes about $200,000 in GRAN NEVADA (GN) products, and our objective is to grow the GN business to over $1 million per year. Our management team has over 30 years of combined experience in the Hispanic food and beverage industry to generate these sales. In July 2016, we acquired the company’s first Direct Store Delivery (“DSD”) in an all cash purchase. HISP has new key personnel with previous managerial experience to begin the implementation of increasing our sales to potentially growing the business with a target of $5MM in revenues with plans to continue its growth via mergers and acquisitions.

In October 2013 we signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada”), an entity related through common management. The agreement provides us 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.  We initiated sales and distribution operations in March 2014.

 

On October 30, 2015, the company entered into an agreement to acquire a 20% minority equity interest in Just Buns Inc. in exchange for 20,000 shares to the Company’s common stock. The Company also entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Just Buns, Inc. to distribute their proprietary Ensaimades sold under the name “Swirly Buns”. As of the date of this filing the Company has not finalized these transactions. Upon finalization the Company will issue 20,000 shares of common stock.

 

On March 24, 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Energy Sources Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) from its three founding shareholders. ESD provides wholesale distribution of specialty beverage products from its headquarters in Gilroy, California. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $450,000 in cash. We retained one of the selling founders as General Manager for a term of twelve (12) months pursuant to an employment agreement to manage operations at the ESD facility in Gilroy, California. ESD is now a wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective July 5, 2016, we entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with TCA Global Credit Master fund, L.P. (“TCA”) which allows the Company to borrow up to $7.5 million. However, as of the execution date of the Credit Facility, only $1.6 million has been allocated by TCA to the Company for working capital financing and for any other purpose permitted under the terms of the Credit Facility. ESD is Corporate Guarantor to the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are obligated to pay approximately $544,000 of transaction fees to TCA including a Transaction Advisory Fee equal to 2% of the loan commitment amount, as defined by the Credit Facility, and an Advisory Fee of $350,000 which may be paid in restricted stock or cash. On July 5, 2016 the Company borrowed $650,000 from the Credit Facility and used the proceeds to complete the acquisition of ESD; payoff outstanding secured obligations; to pay vendors for inventory purchases transaction and closing fee to TCA.

CURRENT OPERATIONS

 

Sales 

 

We currently market and sell traditional Hispanic beverages as well as nationally recognized branded beverages through ESD. We plan to market and sell more traditional Hispanic and ethnic food packaged products and will license and/or acquire existing brands and distributors of Hispanic products. Brands sought by us are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as all natural food products that target toward Hispanic and ethnic-neutral consumers.

 

Production and Distribution

We buy pre-packaged and unpackaged goods for distribution through various channels. We 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 us with the products needed to meet demand. We use an unrelated third party to package our products for distribution.

 

As of May 2016, 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. We currently sell 70% of Gran Nevada 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. We will package, in Q4 2017, the Gran Nevada Horchata de Morro and Mexican Horchata in 1 liter Tetra Pack cartons, 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 our overall strategy will be expansion through the acquisition of distributors.

 

We sell the Gran Nevada products through several distributors and we regularly seek to broaden our distribution channels.  We have engaged third party sales and marketing brokers in many areas of the country. We also now sell directly to retailers through ESD, including large chain stores. Direct to retail enables manufacturers to offer better prices to retailers, which results in higher gross margins for retailers.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We are in the process of securing a trademark for our name and logo. As of the date of this annual report, we do not have any trademarks or copyrights for our intellectual property.

Competition

 

As a distributor of Hispanic and ethnic packaged food products, we expect to have a portfolio of products that will not only include beverages. Our main competitors include Goya Foods, Marquez Brothers International, Diaz Foods, La Fe Foods International, Grace Foods, as well as other regional Ethnic Food Distributors. We 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. We 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.  We are committed to building long-term relationships with our 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.  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 us to ensure that we establish, maintain and make available for inspection, records and labels with nutrition information that meet legal food labeling requirements.  Our 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, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and our Chief Operating Officer were our sole employees. Other executive and management positions are being filled by paid independent contractors or our directors who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation. We mitigate the need for a production staff by purchasing finished inventory. We have 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. We also outsource our 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.

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $400,207 and $212,593 for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, has limited revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding business opportunities.

 

At May 31, 2016, we had cash on hand of $27,241, and an accumulated deficit of $ 814,549. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Dividends

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-2, "Leases" (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets, such as real estate and manufacturing equipment, to recognize on assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as finance or operating lease. This ASU will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU will be effective for public entities beginning the first quarter 2019. We do not believe that this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes, Balance Sheet Classifications of Deferred Taxes." This amendment simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring that all deferred tax liabilities and assets now be recorded as noncurrent. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permissible. The Company will adopt this amendment in 2017. This amendment has no material impact on the Company's results of operation.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This amendment defers the effective date of implementation to after December 15, 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory. Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This amendment only applies to entities that use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods of valuing inventory. Entities should now measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment aligns measurement of inventory in GAAP with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this amendment in 2017. This amendment has no material impact on the Company's results of operation.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 , “Interest -Imputation of Interest. “ This guidance requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction in liability rather than as an asset. This amendment is effective for interim and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permissible. The Company has elected early adoption.

 


On May 14, 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 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.

 

Results of Operations

 

Years Ended May 31, 2016 and 2015

 

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.

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of Goods Sold includes finished goods, freight-in, freight-out, and warehousing expense.  For the year ended May 31, 2016, cost of goods sold was $215,997, or approximately 110% of sales compared to the year ended May 31, 2015 when cost of goods sold was $240,017, or approximately 112% of sales. The negative gross profit during 2016 and 2015 was primarily the result of pricing discounts offered to acquire market share.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended May 31, 2016, operating expenses were $342,506, an increase of $158,248 or approximately 86% over operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2015 of $184,258.  The Company continued to incur costs associated with launching commercial operations in the year ended May 31, 2016.

 

Our operating expenses consisted of (a) officers compensation, which was $130,200 during the year ended May 31, 2016, and included $125,200 of stock compensation, as compared to $0 during the year ended May 31, 2015, (b) professional advisory service fees and consulting fees, which were $184,081 for the year ended May 31, 2016 as compared to $152,900 during the year ended May 31, 2015, (c) marketing, promotional, licensing and related fees, which were $5,021 for the year ended May 31, 2016 as compared to $3,417 during the year ended May 31, 2015, (d) travel, which was $4,029 during the year ended May 31, 2016 as compared to $1,485 during the year ended May 31, 2015, (e) rent, which was $9,697 during the year ended May 31, 2016 as compared to $7,500 during the year ended May 31, 2014, and (f) other, which was $9,478 during the year ended May 31, 2016 as compared to $18,956 during the year ended May 31, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company received cash proceeds of $68,000 as a result of the sale of the Company’s common stock. 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.

 

Working Capital Needs

 

The Company has insufficient cash on hand to fund the operations of the Company through May 2017. Although our operations have begun to generate increased cash flow we are not yet at the point that we 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.

 

At May 31, 2016, we had cash on hand of $27,241, and an accumulated deficit of $814,459.

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, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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

At May 31, 2016, we had a prepayment to Gran Nevada in the amount of $14,740 for future product purchases.

 

The Company currently leases its offices on a month to month basis from Mr. Robert Gunther 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 corporate 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.

•      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.

New York, NY

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2016. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2016, 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 8 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 8. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

 

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. ("HISP" or 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 Hispanic beverages 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, 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. Provision for sales returns is 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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. 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, 2016, the convertible notes payable could be converted into approximately 101,000 shares of common stock.

 

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.

Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2016 and 2015

 

 

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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, 2016, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees based on the fair value using an option pricing model. Forfeitures are 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.

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. 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, 2016 and 2015, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

Inventory

 

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to ASC No. 820. "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures," the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Recent Pronouncements

 

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-2, "Leases" (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets, such as real estate and manufacturing equipment, to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheets for the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU will be effective for public entities beginning the first quarter 2019. We do not believe that this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes, Balance Sheet Classifications of Deferred Taxes." This amendment simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring that all deferred tax liabilities and assets now be recorded as noncurrent. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permissible. The Company will adopt this amendment in 2017. This amendment has no material impact on the Company's results of operation.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This amendment defers the effective date of implementation to after December 15, 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory. Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This amendment only applies to entities that use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods of valuing inventory. Entities would measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment aligns measurement of inventory in GAAP with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this amendment in 2017. This amendment has no material impact on the Company's results of operation.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 , “Interest -Imputation of Interest. “ This guidance requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction in liability rather than as an asset. This amendment is effective for interim and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permissible. The Company has elected early adoption.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

On May 14, 2014, FASB and The International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) issued a new joint revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all 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 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.

 

Note 2 - CONCENTRATIONS

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash in banks is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per institution, per entity. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade account receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

Sales and Accounts Receivable

 

During the year ended May 31, 2016, sales to three customers accounted for approximately 81% of the Company's net sales or approximately $156,000. There were no customers with significant accounts receivable balances at May 31, 2016.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2015, sales to four customers accounted for approximately 79% of the Company's net sales or approximately $169,000. There were no customers with significant accounts receivable balances at May 31, 2015.

 

Note 3. LOANS PAYABLE – STOCKHOLDERS

 

In February 2014, a stockholder lent the Company $10,000. The loan bore interest at 5% per annum and matured on February 28, 2015. The loan balance on May 31, 2015 was $10,000. In September 2015, the stockholder agreed to accept 43,266 shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock at $0.25 per share in lieu of cash as repayment of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of $817 on the loan.

 

In February 2015, a stockholder and officer lent the Company $20,000. The loan bore interest at 36% per annum. Under the terms of the agreement, the note matured on May 20, 2015. In April 2015, the Company repaid $10,000 of the loan balance. The remaining loan balance of $10,000, together with accrued interest of $1,284, was paid by the Company in September 2015. Accrued and unpaid interest totaled $384 at May 31, 2015.

 

In April 2016, a stockholder and officer lent the Company $10,000. The loan bears interest at 18% per annum. The maturity date of the note is July 1, 2016. As of August 31, 2016 the Company has not repaid the loan. Accrued and unpaid interest totaled $207 at May 31, 2016.

In September 2014, the Company issued a convertible note for the principal amount of $6,000. The note had an original due date of December 31, 2014. In January 2015, the holder signed an amendment that made the note and accrued interest payable on demand. Interest accrues at 10% per annum. The holder has the option of converting the note 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. In October 2015, the Company repaid $3,000 of principal and $651 of interest. At May 31, 2016, accrued interest on the debenture was $ 193. At May 31, 2015, accrued interest on the debenture was $436.

 

In September 2015, the Company issued a convertible note payable (the “Note”) for the principal amount of $87,500 including an original issue discount ("OID") of $7,500 and loan costs of $5,000. The OID and loan costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over 23 months and are reported as financing costs. The note bears interest at 10%. The note requires payment and accrued interest upon maturity in August 2017. Unamortized OID and loan costs totaled $7,735 at May 31, 2016. There is a prepayment premium of 125% of the loan balance being paid prior to the maturity date. Upon an event of default as described in the Note, the Company would incur penalties and fees and the annual interest rate would increase to 22%. During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company did not make timely payments and as a result incurred penalties and other fees of approximately $7,836 and the interest rate increased to 22%. During 2016, the Company made principal payments of $24,740 and Interest payments of $6,548. At May 31, 2016, accrued interest of $462 is reported as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Under the terms of the Note, the Note holder has the right, until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, $0.001 par value per shares of the Company (the “Lender Conversion Shares”), as per the following conversion formula:

 

The number of Lender Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted (the "Conversion Amount") divided by the Lender Conversion Price.

 

The Lender Conversion Price is defined in the Note as being $3.00 per share, however, in the event the Market Capitalization falls below $20,000,000.00 at any time, then in such event (a) the Lender Conversion Price for all Lender Conversions occurring after the first date of such occurrence shall equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion.

 

Subject to certain conditions, a Conversion Factor of 70%, shall apply to the Lender Conversion Price, subject to the following adjustments: (i) If at any time the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding any date of measurement is below $1.00, then in such event the then-current Conversion Factor shall be reduced by 10% for all future conversions; (ii) if at any time after the effective date of the Note, the Conversion Shares are not DTC Eligible, then the then-current Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all future conversions; and, (iii) in addition to the Default Effect, as defined, if any Major Default occurs, as defined, after the effective date of the Note, the Conversion Factor shall automatically be reduced for all future conversions by an additional 5% for each of the first three (3) Major Defaults that occur.

 

Under the terms of the Note, on June 17, 2016 the note holder elected to convert $12,500 of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance into 18,315 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.6825 per share.

 

Under the terms of the Note, on July 25, 2016 the note holder elected to convert $15,000 of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance into 52,053 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.288167 per share.

 

In March 2016, the Company borrowed $18,500 from an unrelated third party (GHS). The loan bears interest at 22% per annum. The Company incurred late payment penalties and other fees of approximately $13,304. Accrued and unpaid interest totaled $691 at May 31, 2016.
