FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses and financial results.

 

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

ITEM 1. Business

 

We are a management firm which creates, cultivates, and operates innovative and healthy lifestyle brands within the restaurant and retail industries. We focus on consumer food service concepts that is founded on a franchised and multi-unit business model in the retail, fast-casual, and traditional restaurant sector. As the creator and current advisor organization of the all-natural and organic pizza franchise, Pizza Fusion, we are seeking to expand our innovative food service with an emphasis on sustainability and community impact. Currently with locations in selected markets in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, we are poised to rollout new concepts we plan to develop and manage.

 

Following the completion of our merger with PF Hospitality Group and the sale of a $1.3 million principal amount of convertible debentures we are now in a position to make an impact on the food and hospitality industry this coming year for critical growth and smart expansion. We believe successful investing begins with providing a compelling value proposition to the consumer combined with a unique and innovative concept, to all business constituencies. With that in mind, on a daily basis we strive to consistently deliver passion, innovation, creativity, and financial growth to all of our stakeholders who make this possible.

 

In 2014 and the early part of 2015, we franchised two new Pizza Fusion locations in Dubai, UAE. Continuing to follow progress of our Pizza Fusion expansion of units within the Middle East, we plan to narrow our focus on the rebranding of the Pizza Fusion concept. Part of this effort will be building strong sales growth of existing restaurants with the introduction of new and innovative menu offerings. We are also looking into physical refurbishments to individual Pizza Fusion establishments, and assessing key investments in mobile technology designed to engage the brand’s growing, savvy audience.

 

Our newest concept, Shaker & Pie, is a new interactive restaurant concept combining wood-fired pizzas with healthy, hearty Italian-influenced street food. We expect Shaker & Pie will provide a lasting impression on the South Florida restaurant arena, where the flagship location is slated to open in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 in the Mizner Park area of affluent, Boca Raton, Florida. Boca Raton’s Mizner Park is a pioneering downtown mixed-use project that includes 236,000 square feet of retail space, 267,000 square feet of office space, luxury retail apartments, town homes and cultural arts space, as well as a 5,000-person-capacity open-air amphitheater and was named one of America’s Top Public Places in 2010 by the American Planning Association. In addition, Boca Raton has been rated among the best places to start a new restaurant by the personal finance website NerdWallet.com. We plan to enter into a joint venture with an operator of similar restaurant concepts for our initial Shaker & Pie location to utilize our executive management and marketing know-how and utilize our planned joint venture partner’s pizzeria expertise by taking the Shaker & Pie brand to a competitive with a loyal customer base.

 

In addition, we are exploring ways to broaden our reach into the hospitality space, as we seek to add and develop brands from the natural and organic space into our current and planned locations, as we remain responsive to the changing demographics driven by millennials. We expect that this group will drive solid opportunities for expansion. We believe that leveraging our infrastructure and operations team will lead to potential acquisitions of undervalued brands in need of our managerial talent and cost control procedures.

  

Markets

 

We currently have Pizza Fusion franchises in 6 locations in the United States and 9 in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Within the United States, we have franchisees in Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia. We anticipate opening the first Shaker & Pie restaurant Boca Raton, Florida in the second fiscal quarter of 2016.

 

Franchise and Development Agreements

 

In connection with its franchising operations, we receive initial franchise fee (typically $30,000), area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties of 5% of gross revenues of sales at franchised restaurants as defined in the franchise agreement. The term of the franchise agreement is generally for 10 years and may be renewed for two additional terms of 10 years subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a discounted franchise fee. We are currently operating 6 stores under franchise agreements.

 

Area development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by us.

 

In January 2009 we entered into a ten year restaurant development agreement with a third party to open a total of 10 Pizza Fusion locations in Saudi Arabia. Seven locations have been opened under the terms of this agreement.

 

In March 2011 we entered into a restaurant development agreement with a third party to open a total of 38 Pizza Fusion locations by 2019 in the countries of Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. Two locations have been opened under the terms of this agreement and we have agreed to defer the development schedule under this agreement indefinitely. This development agreement expires on December 31, 2023.

Research and Development

 

We do not engage in any material research and development activities. However, we do engage in ongoing studies to assist with food and menu development. Additionally, we conduct consumer research to determine customers’ preferences, trends, and opinions, as well as to better understand other competitive brands.

 

Government Regulation

 

We and our franchisees are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our business.

 

Franchise Regulations

 

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, and international laws governing franchise sales and the franchise relationship. In general, these laws and regulations impose certain disclosure and registration requirements prior to the offer and sale of franchises. Rulings of several state and federal courts and existing or proposed federal and state laws demonstrate a trend toward increased protection of the rights and interests of franchisees against franchisors. Such decisions and laws may limit the ability of franchisors to enforce certain provisions of franchise agreements or to alter or terminate franchise agreements. Due to the scope of our business and the complexity of franchise regulations, we may encounter minor compliance issues from time to time. We do not believe, however, that any of these issues will have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Regulations Affecting the Restaurant Industry

 

Each of our franchisees’ restaurants must comply with licensing requirements and regulations by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. The development and operation of restaurants depends on selecting and acquiring suitable sites, which are subject to zoning, land use, environmental, alcoholic beverage control, traffic and other regulations. We have not encountered significant difficulties or failures in obtaining the required licenses or approvals that could delay the opening of a new restaurant or the operation of an existing restaurant nor do we presently anticipate the occurrence of any such difficulties in the future.

 

Our franchisees are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and various other laws in the United States governing such matters as minimum-wage requirements, overtime, tip credits, other working conditions, safety standards, and hiring and employment practices. Any increases in labor costs might result in our franchisees inadequately staffing stores. Such increases in labor costs and other changes in labor laws could affect store performance and quality of service, decrease royalty revenues and adversely affect our brand.

 

Our franchisees’ facilities must comply with the applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) and related state accessibility statutes. Under the ADA and related state laws, our franchisees must provide equivalent service to disabled persons and make reasonable accommodation for their employment, and when constructing or undertaking significant remodeling of restaurants, those facilities must be accessible.

 

Our franchisees are subject to laws and regulations relating to the preparation and sale of food, including regulations regarding product safety, nutritional content and menu labeling. Our franchisees are or may become subject to laws and regulations requiring disclosure of calorie, fat, trans fat, salt and allergen content. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”) requires restaurants, such as our franchisees, to disclose calorie information on their menus. The Food and Drug Administration has proposed rules to implement this provision of the Affordable Care Act that would require restaurants to post the number of calories for most items on menus or menu boards and to make available more detailed nutrition information upon request.

 

Our franchisees are subject to laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments and consumer credit, protection and fraud. An increasing number of governments and industry groups worldwide have established data privacy laws and standards for the protection of personal information, including social security numbers, financial information (including credit card numbers), and health information.

 

Competition

 

Because the natural and organic offering is unique to the pizza industry, direct competitors are limited to a few brands, such as Zpizza, but we consider anyone in the fast-casual pizza space as competition. Some competitive brands are Blaze, Pie Five and Modmarket.

 

  3  
 

 

In addition, the restaurant industry generally is intensely competitive with respect to the type and quality of food, price, service, restaurant location, personnel, brand, attractiveness of facilities, and effectiveness of advertising and marketing. The restaurant business is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional or local economic conditions; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number and location of competing restaurants; and consumers’ discretionary purchasing power. Our franchisees compete within each market with national and regional chains and locally-owned restaurants for guests, management and hourly personnel and suitable real estate sites. We and our franchisees also face growing competition from the supermarket industry, which offers “convenient meals” in the form of improved entrées and side dishes from the deli section. In addition, improving product offerings at fast casual restaurants and quick-service restaurants, together with negative economic conditions, could cause consumers to choose less expensive alternatives. We expect intense competition to continue in all of these areas.

 

Seasonality

 

We expect that our sales volumes will fluctuate seasonally. We expect that our average sales will be highest in the spring and winter, followed by the summer, and lowest in the fall, and that holidays, changes in the economy, severe weather and similar conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some regions. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

 

Trademarks and Service Marks

 

We own the service marks for “Pizza Fusion” and “Pizza Fusion Fresh, Organic Earth Friendly”. These servicemarks are registered in the United States. We granted our area franchisee in the Middle East the right to register the Pizza Fusion trademark for the term of its franchise agreement with us in certain countries in the Middle East where the franchisee has the right to open Pizza Fusion restaurants. We expect that the service marks and trademarks related to our restaurant businesses will have significant value and be important to our marketing efforts. Registration of the Pizza Fusion and Pizza Fusion Fresh, Organic Earth Friendly service marks expire in our 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, respectively, unless renewed. We expect to renew these registrations at the appropriate time.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this report, we had three full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

 

Former Business Operations and Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 5, 2005 under the name Tomi Holdings, Inc. In October 2005, we changed our name to InfraBlue (US), Inc., and in October 2007, we changed our name to NextGen Bioscience, Inc. In December 2008, we changed our name to Kalahari Greentech, Inc. In May 2015, we changed our name to PF Hospitality Group, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 399 NW 2 nd Avenue, Suite 216, Boca Raton, Florida 33432. Our telephone number is (561) 939-2520 and our fiscal year end is September 30. Prior to our merger with PF Hospitality Group discussed below, we were a U.S.-based exploration company with a primary focus on projects with prior exploration and production history.

 

Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (“Pizza Fusion”), a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, PF Hospitality Group has become a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. Pursuant to the terms of the May 26, 2015 merger agreement, we exchanged 17,117,268 shares of our common stock for 100% of the Pizza Fusion common shares and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, Pizza Fusion’s founders, Vaughan Dugan and Randy Romano, each purchased 21,441,366 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at a price of $.0001 per share. The shares are restricted and subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 144. Holders of convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed to convert such debt into 40,000,000 shares of our common stock as part of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, Vaughan Dugan was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Randy Romano was appointed as President. Messrs. Dugan and Romano were also appointed to the Company’s board of directors. David Kugelman resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Director.

 

Financings

 

Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated July 27, 2015, we issued and sold a $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to the company as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. The company agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on date the company closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.

 

  4  
 

  

Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, the company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of common stock the company is permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, the company further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts.

 

The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain negative covenants by the company, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of the company’s common stock or debts, sell substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, pay cash dividends or enter into any related party transactions. We granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by the company for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.

 

The debentures are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the twenty trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if the company issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of the company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of the company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of the company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days notice to the company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion, a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, we have become a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. We are a management firm which creates, cultivates, and operates innovative and healthy lifestyle brand within the restaurant and retail industries. We focus on consumer food service concepts, with a specialization around franchised and multi-unit business models in the retail, fast-casual, and traditional restaurant sectors. As the creator and current advisor organization of the all-natural and organic pizza franchise, Pizza Fusion, we have been on the cutting edge of innovative food service with an emphasis on sustainability and community impact since 2006. Currently with 6 locations in the United States, 7 Saudi Arabia, and 2 in the United Arab Emirates, we is now testing out new concepts it will develop and manage.

 

Our newest concept, Shaker & Pie, is a new interactive restaurant concept combining wood-fired pizzas with healthy, hearty Italian-influenced street food. We expect Shaker & Pie will provide a lasting impression on the South Florida restaurant arena, where the flagship location is slated to open in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 in the Mizner Park area of affluent, Boca Raton, Florida. Boca Raton’s Mizner Park is a pioneering downtown mixed-use project that includes 236,000 square feet of retail space, 267,000 square feet of office space, luxury retail apartments, town homes and cultural arts space, as well as a 5,000-person-capacity open-air amphitheater and was named one of America’s Top Public Places in 2010 by the American Planning Association. In addition, Boca Raton has been rated among the best places to start a new restaurant by the personal finance website NerdWallet.com. We plan to enter into a joint venture with an operator of similar restaurant concepts for our initial Shaker & Pie location to utilize our executive management and marketing know-how and utilize our planned joint venture partner’s pizzeria expertise by taking the Shaker & Pie brand to a competitive with a loyal customer base.

In addition, we are exploring ways to broaden our reach into the hospitality space, as we seek to add and develop brands from the natural and organic space into our current and planned locations, as we remain responsive to the changing demographics driven by millennials. We expect that this group will drive solid opportunities for expansion. We believe that leveraging our infrastructure and operations team will lead to potential acquisitions of undervalued brands in need of our managerial talent and cost control procedures.

 

Prior to the merger with Pizza Fusion, we were a U.S.-based exploration company with a primary focus on projects with prior exploration and production history, thereby lowering capital costs and exploration risks. Its mission was to build a fully-integrated gold, silver, and metals production company that incorporated exploration, development, acquisition, mining, ore processing and sales. It targeted historically proven and highly prospective properties in North and South America with an ultimate goal of bringing projects into production, entering into joint ventures, or a potential sale.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

For financial reporting purposes, our merger with Pizza Fusion represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and Pizza Fusion is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization effective as of July 1, 2015. Pizza Fusion is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and PF Hospitality is the acquired company. Consequently, in reports we file with the SEC covering accounting periods after June 30, 2015, the assets and liabilities and the operations will reflect the historical financial statements prior to the merger will be those of Pizza Fusion and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of PF Hospitality, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the merger will include the assets and liabilities of our company and Pizza Fusion, and the historical operations of Pizza Fusion and the combined operations with our company from the initial closing date under the merger agreement. Furthermore, since the merger occurred after the period ended June 30, 2015, the following discussion and analysis includes the financial results and operations of Pizza Fusion and PF Hospitality on a standalone basis for the periods ended June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 included elsewhere in this report is for informational purposes only, is not an indication of future performance, and should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the recapitalization transactions actually been consummated on the dates or at the beginning of the periods presented.

 

Pizza Fusion Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

Total Revenue . For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, total revenue increased by $29,547 to $273,470 compared to $243,923 in the same period in fiscal 2014 primarily as a result of an increase in revenues from settlement of a lawsuit against two former franchisees who closed two restaurants previously operated in Florida, partially offset by a decrease in royalty revenue of $74,895 due to the closing of two franchised units during the period. As a result of the closings, there were 11 franchised restaurants operating in the United States at September 30, 2013, nine restaurants operating at June 30, 2014, and seven restaurants operating at June 30, 2015.

 

Total Operating Expenses . For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, total operating expenses increased 4.0% to $433,226 compared to $416,691 for same period in fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $6,678 in payroll expense and $9,857 in other general administrative expenses.

 

Net Loss . As a result of the above, the net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $13,012, or 13.2%, to $159,756 compared to $172,768 in the same period in fiscal 2014.

 

Fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Fiscal year ended September 30, 2013

 

Total Revenue . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, total revenue decreased by $147,972 to $314,938, a 32.0% reduction compared to $462,910 in fiscal 2014. This reduction was primarily a result of the absence in fiscal 2014 of a $97,460 merger termination fee and $8,208 in other non-recurring miscellaneous income we earned in fiscal 2013, a $27,699 decrease in royalty revenue due to the closure of two franchised restaurants and a $14,605 reduction in franchise fee revenue as we opened one restaurant in Dubai in 2014 resulting in franchise fee revenue of $15,395 compared to one restaurant in Florida in fiscal 2013 resulting in franchise fee revenue of $30,000.

 

Total Operating Expenses . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, total operating expenses decreased by $2,150,317 to $571,793, a 79.0% reduction compared to $2,722,110 in fiscal 2013. The decrease was primarily a result of a $1,983,109 reduction in payroll expense due to the absence in fiscal 2014 of a stock purchase warrant grant of 2,600,000 stock purchase warrants to two executives that occurred in fiscal 2013, a $166,998 reduction in general and administrative costs due to the absence of warrant modification charges incurred in fiscal 2013.

 

Net Loss . As a result of the above, net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 decreased $2,002,345 to $256,855, or 88.6% compared to a net loss of $2,259,200 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements.

 

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

As of June 30, 2015, our working capital deficit amounted to $991,398, a reduction of $203,820 as compared to working capital deficit of $787,578 as of June 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily a result of a $191,430 increase in total current liabilities and a reduction of $12,390 in total current assets. Working capital at June 30, 2015 included primarily cash and cash equivalents of $82,199 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $873,927, stock liability of $205,861 and current portion of deferred income of $5,000.

 

Cash used by operating activities of $99,184 in the nine month period ended June 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $159,756, an increase of $35,417 in litigation receivable, partially offset by an increase of $92,825 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in the litigation receivable remitted from the settlement in February 2015 of a lawsuit against two former franchisees. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses principally resulted from an increase of $73,994 in accrued executive compensation to $665,993 at June 30, 2015.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $20,914 in the nine month period ended June 30, 2015, and principally related to design and related costs associated with a planned new restaurant.

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $106,500 in the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was attributable to cash received which the Company expects to satisfy by issuance of shares of its common stock.

 

Fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Fiscal year ended September 30, 2013

 

As of September 30, 2014, our working capital deficit amounted to $787,578, a reduction of $199,353 as compared to working capital deficit of $588,225 as of September 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily a result of a $269,281 increase in total current liabilities partially offset by a $69,928 increase in total current assets. Working capital deficit at September 30, 2014 included primarily cash and cash equivalents of $95,797 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $781,102.

 

Cash used by operating activities of $80,190 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $256,855, an increase of $22,395 in deferred income and customer deposits, partially offset by $184,420 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $16,359 of depreciation and amortization.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $1,360 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, and principally related to design and related costs associated with a planned new restaurant.

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $149,361 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to cash received which the Company expects to satisfy by issuance of shares of its common stock.

 

Capital Resources

 

We expect to incur a minimum of $1,555,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations as we launch our planned Shaker and Pie restaurant concept and manage our current franchise operations. We estimate that this will be comprised of approximately $955,000 towards leasehold improvements and launch costs and $100,000. Additionally, approximately $500,000 will be needed for general overhead expenses such as for corporate legal and accounting fees, office overhead and general working capital. We plan to fund these costs from the proceeds of our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and approximately $600,000 in capital contributions from our planned joint venture partner for the initial Shaker and Pie location. In the event we run into cost overruns or lower than anticipated revenues from the Shaker and Pie operation, we will have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We potentially will have to issue debt or equity, obtain capital from our joint venture partner or enter into a strategic arrangement with other third parties.

 

There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. Other than our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and our discussions with our proposed joint venture partner for the our initial Shaker and Pie location, we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no other such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for the above purposes that exceed our current working capital, the funding schedule in our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and the funds from our planned joint venture partner will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2015, Pizza Fusion did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

Pizza Fusion’s consolidated financial statements were prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Pizza Fusion has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Pizza Fusion has incurred significant losses and, as of June 30, 2015, has an accumulated deficit of $1,299,652, total current assets of $93,390 and a net capital deficiency of $991,398. The ability of Pizza Fusion to continue as a going concern is dependent on Pizza Fusion obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If Pizza Fusion is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, Pizza Fusion will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for Pizza Fusion by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and planned expansion and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that Pizza Fusion will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of Pizza Fusion to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Pizza Fusion is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Pizza Fusion has identified the following policies below as critical to its business and results of operations. Pizza Fusion’s reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 5 to 7 years.

 

Concentrations of Risk. The Company’s bank accounts are held by insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

 

Accounts Receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable are net of the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects managements’ best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

  8  
 

  

Fair value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, royalties receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred income, approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

Advertising Expense. In accordance with ASC 720, the Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. During the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company incurred $1,325 and $2,238 of advertising costs, respectively.

 

Stock-based Compensation. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock-based compensation.

 

Income Revenue Recognition. In connection with its franchising operations, the Company receives initial franchise fees, area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties which are based on sales at franchised restaurants.

 

Franchise fees, which are typically received prior to completion of the revenue of the revenue recognition process, are deferred when received. Such fees are recognized as income when substantially all services to be performed by the Company and conditions related to the sale of the franchise have been performed or satisfied, which generally occurs when the franchised restaurant commences operations.

 

Development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by the Company. Fees from development agreements are deferred when received and recognized as income as restaurants in the development area commence operations on a pro rata basis to the minimum number of restaurants required to be open.

 

Deferred franchise fees and development fees are classified as current or long term in the financial statements based on the projected opening date of the restaurants. Royalty fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchise sales, are made by the franchisee.

 

Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Research and Development. Research and development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $559 and $230 during the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Pizza Fusion implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. Pizza Fusion does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

These changes were due to the factors discussed above.

 

Fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Fiscal year ended September 30, 2013

 

Revenue . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, gross profit was $0, a decrease of $6,571 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. The reduction was a result of a reduction in sales and cost of goods sold as a result of the reduction in sales.

 

Total Operating Expenses . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, total operating expenses decreased 97.0% to $92,636 from $3,093,687 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of a $2,796,656 reduction in impairment of intellectual property expense, $161,076 in depreciation and amortization and $43,319 reduction in selling, general and administrative expense.

 

Net Loss from Operations . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, net loss from operations decreased $2,994,480, or 97.0%, to $92,636 compared to net loss from operations of $3,087,116 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due to the factors discussed above.

This decrease was due to a reduction in debt discount amortization as the loans approached their maturity date.

 

Net Loss . For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, net loss decreased $3,029,667, or 96.4%, to $114,160 compared to net loss of $3,143,827 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due to the factors discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements.

 

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

As of June 30, 2015, our working capital deficit amounted to $679,542, an increase of $62,595 as compared to working capital deficit of $616,947 as of June 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily a result of an increase in related party advances of $46,953 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $15,642. Working capital deficit at June 30, 2015 included primarily note payable of $421,498, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $96,259, related party advances of $96,185 and convertible notes of $65,600.

 

Cash used by operating activities of $0 in the nine month period ended June 30,2015 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $62,595 offset by an increase of $46,953 in expenses paid on our behalf by related parties and an increase of $15,642 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

September 30, 2014 Compared to September 30, 2013

 

As of September 30, 2014, our working capital deficit amounted to $79,720, a decrease of $118,643 as compared to working capital deficit of $198,363 as of September 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily a result of an increase in convertible notes, offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $103,167 and related party advances of $25,679. Working capital deficit at June 30, 2015 included primarily convertible notes of $65,600 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $14,120.

 

Cash used by operating activities decreased by $23,286 to $2,009 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 compared to $25,295 in fiscal 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in net loss of $3,029,667, an increase in expenses paid on our behalf by related parties of $23,553 and an increase in common stock issued to acquire mine leases of $18,075, offset by decreases in impairment of intellectual property of $2,796,656, depreciation and amortization of $161,076, amortization of debt discounts of $43,172, accounts payable and accrued expenses of 37,105 and common stock issued for services rendered of $10,000.

 

Cash used by investing activities decreased by $49,000 to $0 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $2,000 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported, as of the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, net losses of $114,160, accumulated deficit of $9,219,597 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $79,720. In addition, the Company has reported, as of June 30, 2014, net losses of $62,595, accumulated deficit of $9,703,690 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $679,542.

 

The Company no revenue from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectability of those fees. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment.

 

Costs of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs are not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.

 

Impairment of long lived assets. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

 

  11  
 

  

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Net Loss per Common Share. The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Both of which are adjusted to give effect to the 2,000-for-1 reverse stock split, which was effected on May 26, 2015 (see Note 5). There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. Fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 179,852 and 183,289, respectively; and 179,852 and 182,739 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income Taxes. Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company’s historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 related to losses incurred during such periods.

 

Research and Development. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

 

Share-Based Compensation. The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) using the modified-prospective transition method. Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

 

The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Number 2015-3 entitled “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The new guidance specifies that debt issuance costs under the new standard are to be netted against the carrying value of the financial liability. Under current guidance, debt issuance costs are recognized as a deferred charge and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. The new guidance aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs and debt discounts in that both reduce the carrying value of the liability. It is important to note that neither the recognition nor measurement of debt issuance costs is changed as a result of the ASU. Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be recorded as interest expense on the income statement.

 

The effective date of the new guidance is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, for public business entities and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued previously. We do not believe the effect of the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 3. Properties

 

As of June 30, 2015, we do not own any real property. We lease office space of approximately 1,950 square feet in Boca Raton, Florida pursuant to a lease that expires on July 31, 2016. We pay base rent of $2,200 per month plus fixed additional charges of $1,200 per month for real estate taxes, insurance, common area expenses and rental taxes. Rent is subject to increases of 5% each year.

None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our board believes that the establishment of committees of our board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors.

 

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

As with most small, early stage companies until such time as we further develop our business, achieve a stronger revenue base and have sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our board of directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We expect that we will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Once adopted, we will make the code of business conduct and ethics available on our website at www.pfhospitalitygroup.com . We intend to post any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Board Structure

 

Our Board has not chosen to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the fact that our operations are sufficiently limited that such separation would not serve any useful purpose.

 

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

 

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk and for identifying our risk exposures and communicating such exposures to our board. Our board is responsible for designing, implementing and overseeing our risk management processes. The board does not have a standing risk management committee, but administers this function directly through the board as a whole. The whole board considers strategic risks and opportunities and receives reports from its officers regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility as necessary. We believe our board’s leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities and enhances the board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.

 

Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company by sending communications to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer at 399 NW 2nd Avenue, Suite 216, Boca Raton, FL 33432. If stockholders feel that their questions have not been sufficiently addressed through communications with the Chief Executive Officer, they may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending their communications to the Board of Directors, c/o the Chief Executive Officer at the same address.

 

Director Compensation

 

Historically, our directors have not received compensation for their service, but we may compensate our directors for their service in the future. We reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings. We also intend to allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we adopt in the future.

Executive Employment Agreements

 

Vaughan Dugan

 

On June 1, 2013, Pizza Fusion entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dugan to serve as its Chief Executive Officer for a term that expires on May 30, 2020. The agreement provides for a base annual salary of $150,000 subject to a minimum increase at an annual compound rate of 5% and may be adjusted by the Company’s board of directors from time-to-time in its discretion but in no event shall the base salary be reduced below $150,000 plus annual increases without the Executive’s prior consent. In addition, Mr. Dugan is eligible for the same perquisites and benefits as are made available to other senior executive employees of the Company, as well as such other perquisites or benefits as may be specified from time to time by the Company including an automobile allowance, health insurance and a mobile telephone. Mr. Dugan is also eligible for an annual cash and equity bonus based on Company’s achievement of financial and other goals approved by its board of directors.

If Mr. Dugan’s employment is terminated by us, with or without cause, or he resigns for any reason, he is entitled to be paid his compensation through the end of the remaining term, but in no event less than one year plus a pro-rata portion of any bonus awarded. During the term of his employment and for a period of one year thereafter, Mr. Dugan agreed to refrain from soliciting significant employees of the company or its franchisees. In addition, Mr. Dugan agreed to keep certain information of the Company confidential.

  

Randy Romano

 

On June 1, 2013, Pizza Fusion entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Romano to serve as its President for a term that expires on May 30, 2020. The agreement provides for a base annual salary of $150,000 subject to a minimum increase at an annual compound rate of 5% and may be adjusted by the Company’s board of directors from time-to-time in its discretion but in no event shall the base salary be reduced below $150,000 plus annual increases without the Executive’s prior consent.

During the term of his employment and for a period of one year thereafter, Mr. Romano agreed to refrain from soliciting significant employees of the company or its franchisees. In addition, Mr. Romano agreed to keep certain information of the Company confidential.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year End

 

None.

 

ITEM 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion. Under the terms of the merger with Pizza Fusion, we issued 17,117,268 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) for 100% of Pizza Fusion’s common shares and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, Messrs. Dugan and Romano purchased an aggregate of 42,882,732 shares of our common stock and 2,000,000 shares of Our Series A preferred stock at a price of $0.0001 per share.

 

Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

 

We do not have a formal, written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions between us and any director or executive officer, nominee for director, 5% stockholder or member of the immediate family of any such person that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, our policy is that any activities, investments or associations of a director or officer that create, or would appear to create, a conflict between the personal interests of such person and our interests must be assessed by our Chief Executive Officer and must be at arms’ length.

 

ITEM 8. Legal Proceedings

 

Occasionally, we may be involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that there are any claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Market Information

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on OTC Market Group, Inc.’s OTC Pink tier under the symbol, “PFHS.” The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks”, as well as volume information.

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTC Markets. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. As of May 26, 2015, we effected a 2,000-for-1 stock split. All prices in the following table reflect post-split prices.

 

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2013

 

    High     Low  
Fiscal Quarter Ended:                
December 31, 2012   $ 106.80     $ 10.20  
March 31, 2013   $ 50.00     $ 8.00  
June 30, 2013   $ 11.40     $ 3.20  
September 30, 2013   $ 5.40     $ 1.40  

 

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2014

 

    High     Low  
Fiscal Quarter Ended:                
December 31, 2013   $ 5.40     $ 1.20  
March 31, 2014   $ 3.00     $ 1.40  
June 30, 2014   $ 2.00     $ 1.60  
September 30, 2014   $ 3.40     $ 1.60  

 

On August 21, 2015, the closing price for our common stock on the OTC Markets was $1.40 per share with respect to an insignificant volume of shares.

 

The volume of shares traded on the OTC Markets was insignificant and therefore, does not represent a reliable indication of the fair market value of these shares.

 

Holders of Common Stock

 

As of September 2, 2015, there were approximately 50 record holders of our common stock. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of banks, brokers, nominees or other fiduciaries.

 

We have no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Moreover, we currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

ITEM 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

Set forth below is information regarding securities sold by us within the past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act.

In addition, effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion. Under the terms of the merger with Pizza Fusion, we issued 17,117,268 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) for 100% of Pizza Fusion’s common shares and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, the Pizza Fusion founders agreed to purchase an aggregate of 42,882,732 shares of our common stock and 2,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at a price of $0.0001 per share. The holders of our convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed to convert such debt into 40,000,000 shares of our common stock.

 

The shares of Common Stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Pizza Fusion were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Securities Act”).

 

On July 27, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it issued and sold $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to us as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. We agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on the date we closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.

 

Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of our common stock we are permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, we further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain negative covenants by us, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of our common stock or debts, sale of substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, payment of cash dividends or entry into any related party transactions. We granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by us for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.

 

The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the 20 trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if PF Hospitality Group issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to PF Hospitality Group.

 

The convertible debentures were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

  18  
 

 

On August 25, 2015 the holders of an aggregate of $65,500 of the Company’s convertible debt plus accrued interest of $24,763.69 converted the amounts owed them into 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock to be issued in connection with this conversion will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

  

ITEM 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 2,000,000 shares are designated as Series A preferred stock. As of September 2, 2015, there were 60,100,404 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock which have been designated as Series A preferred stock, all of which are issued and outstanding.

The holders of shares of our common stock will share ratably in the Company’s assets legally available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after the payment in full of all debts and distributions and after the holders of all series of outstanding preferred stock have received their liquidation preferences in full.

 

The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, redemption, cumulative voting or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Description of Preferred Stock

 

Our Board is authorized to fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each particular class or series of our preferred stock.

 

Description of Series A Preferred Stock

 

The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to dividends or distributions. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the following voting rights:

  Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation, the holders of Series B preferred stock, the holders of Company common stock and the holders of shares of any other Company capital stock having general voting rights and shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

 

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any conversion rights.

 

Provisions that May Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change of Control

 

We have determined that Sections 378 through 3793 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) (“Acquisition of Controlling Interest”) do not apply to us because we do not currently meet the definition of “issuing corporation” contained therein. In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation specifically provide that such portions of NRS are not applicable to our company.

 

In addition to any provisions set forth in the NRS that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control, our Amended and restated articles of incorporation and Bylaws contain the following provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control:

 

Our Board has the authority to issue up to 500,000,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of preferred stock, without stockholder approval.

 

Nominations of persons for election to our Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at a meeting of stockholders (1) pursuant to our notice of meeting delivered pursuant to our Bylaws, (2) by or at the direction of our Board, (3) by any committee or person appointed by our Board or (4) by any stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice was delivered to our Secretary.

 

  19  
 

 

The notice procedures in our Bylaws include a requirement that the proposing stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely with respect to an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting; provided, however, that if no notice is given and no public announcement is made to the stockholders regarding the date of the meeting at least 70 days prior to the meeting, the stockholder’s notice shall be valid if delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive office not less than 10 days following the day on which the notice or public announcement of the date of the meeting was given or made.

 

In addition, any such stockholder’s notice must set forth (1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a) the name, age, business address and residential address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by the person, (d) the written consent by the person, agreeing to serve as a director if elected, (e) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and the stockholder regarding the nomination, (f) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination, (g) all information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the Exchange Act, and (h) such other information as we may reasonably request to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director; (2) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Amended and restated articles of incorporation or the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment, (b) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (d) any material interest (financial or otherwise) of such stockholder in such business; and (3) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name, business address and residential address of the stockholder giving the notice, (b) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the nominee regarding the nomination, and (d) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination.

 

ITEM 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation contain provisions that indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or those of any stockholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director’s or an officer’s fiduciary duty. In addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director or officer arising out of his role as a director or officer. Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, directors have no liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct by the director, a knowing violation of law by the director, acts or failures to act that constitute a breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, or for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.

 

In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers for expenses incurred by them in their capacities as directors and officers. This right of indemnification extends to fines, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, asserted against a director or an officer, or arising out of a director’s or an officer’s status as a director or an officer.

 

Under the NRS, the directors have a fiduciary duty to us that is not eliminated by this provision of the Articles and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under the NRS for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be in good faith or involve intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by the NRS. This provision also does not affect the directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

The NRS provides that a corporation may, and our Articles and Bylaws provide that we shall, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (the “Indemnified Party”), against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation if the Indemnified Party shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. Furthermore, the NRS provides that determination of an Indemnified Party’s eligibility for indemnification by us shall be made on a case-by-case basis by: (i) the stockholders; (ii) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

  20  
 

  

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, based upon our audit and the report of the other independent auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PIZZA FUSION HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Business Activities

 

Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc., (the Company), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 6, 2006. The Company franchises restaurants emphasizing the preparation of food with high quality organic and fresh ingredients for pizza and other menu items. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary PFH1, Inc. which operated its company owned restaurants. No Company-owned restaurants were operated in 2014 or 2013.

 

Accounting Basis

 

The basis is accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year end. The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 5 to 7 years.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company’s bank accounts are held by insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are net of the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects managements’ best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, royalties receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred income, approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

Advertising Expense

 

In accordance with ASC 720, the Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. During the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company incurred $1,325 and $2,238 of advertising costs, respectively.

 

  F- 7  

 

 

PIZZA FUSION HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock-based compensation.

 

Income Revenue Recognition

 

In connection with its franchising operations, the Company receives initial franchise fees, area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties which are based on sales at franchised restaurants.

 

Franchise fees, which are typically received prior to completion of the revenue of the revenue recognition process, are deferred when received. Such fees are recognized as income when substantially all services to be performed by the Company and conditions related to the sale of the franchise have been performed or satisfied, which generally occurs when the franchised restaurant commences operations.

 

Development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by the Company. Fees from development agreements are deferred when received and recognized as income as restaurants in the development area commence operations on a pro rata basis to the minimum number of restaurants required to be open.

 

Deferred franchise fees and development fees are classified as current or long term in the financial statements based on the projected opening date of the restaurants. Royalty fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchise sales, are made by the franchisee.

 

Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $559 and $230 during the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

No recent accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT)

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 256,138 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $66,635. The Company also issued 2,600,000 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of warrants granted to two officers in June 2013 at $0.001 per share.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

  F- 8  

 

  

PIZZA FUSION HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 – DEFERRED INCOME AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

 

The Company has received advances from customers seeking to purchase a franchise. The deposits are classified as customer deposits until a franchise agreement is signed. Once a franchise agreement is signed the advances are nonrefundable and reclassified to deferred income. The franchisee has the responsibility to complete the build out of the restaurant within the time designated in the franchise agreement (generally 5 years). Once the restaurant build out is complete and is operational the Company recognizes the franchise fee as revenues. If the franchisee fails to complete the build out within the required period the franchise fee is forfeited and the Company recognizes the fee as income.

 

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

The following is a summary of property and equipment at September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

    2014     2013  
Equipment   $ 44,932     $ 43,573  
Leasehold improvements     10,513       10,513  
Furniture and fixtures     37,604       37,604  
Gross Property and Equipment     93,049       91,690  
Less: Accumulated depreciation     (68,861 )     (58,386 )
Net Property and Equipment   $ 24,188     $ 33,304  

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $10,476 and $10,686, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets consist of costs associated with acquiring Pizza Fusion franchise and trademark rights, website development costs and trademark and logo costs. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized.

 

The following is a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

    2014     2013  
Franchise and trademark rights   $ 71,949     $ 71,949  
Trademark costs     45,429       45,429  
Website     43,625       43,625  
Gross Intangible Assets     161,003       161,003  
Less: Accumulated amortization     (38,133 )     (32,253 )
Net Intangible Assets   $ 122,870     $ 128,750  

 

Amortization expense for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $5,880 and $5,880, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 7 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

On July 10, 2014 the Company issued a note payable with face value $50,000 paying 10% interest annually maturing December 10, 2020. Payments begin January 10, 2015. The principal balance as of September 30, 2014 was $50,000 .

 

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.

 

    September 30, 2014     September 30, 2013  
Deferred tax assets:                
NOL carryover   $ 2,927,800     $ 2,753,600  
Deferred revenues     165,600       171,500  
Accrued payroll     159,500       164,300  
Deferred tax liabilities:                
Prepaid commissions     -       -  
Accumulated depreciation and amortization     (6,300 )     (9,500 )
Valuation allowance     (3,246,600 )     (3,079,900 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 due to the following:

 

    September 30, 2014     September 30, 2013  
Book loss   $ (102,000 )   $ (896,900 )
Meals and entertainment     2,100       1,300  
Depreciation and amortization     3,200       3,200  
Change in deferred revenues     (5,900 )     1,500  
Change in accrued payroll     (71,500 )     41,200  
Change in prepaid commissions     -       -  
Common stock issued for services     -       -  
Warrant valuation     -       822,200  
Valuation allowance     174,100       27,500  
    $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has accumulated net operating loss carryovers of approximately $7,374,000 at September 30, 2014 which are available to reduce future taxable income. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes may be subject to annual limitations.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Business Activities

 

Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc., (the Company), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 6, 2006. The Company franchises restaurants emphasizing the preparation of food with high quality organic and fresh ingredients for pizza and other menu items. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary PFH1, Inc. which operated its company owned restaurants. No Company-owned restaurants were operated in 2014 or 2015.

 

Accounting Basis

 

The basis is accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year end. The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 5 to 7 years.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company’s bank accounts are held by insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are net of the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects managements’ best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Advertising Expense

 

In accordance with ASC 720, the Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company incurred $249 and $1,071 of advertising costs, respectively.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock-based compensation.

 

Income Revenue Recognition

 

In connection with its franchising operations, the Company receives initial franchise fees, area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties which are based on sales at franchised restaurants.

 

  F- 15  

 

 

PIZZA FUSION HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

(unaudited)

 

Franchise fees, which are typically received prior to completion of the revenue of the revenue recognition process, are deferred when received. Such fees are recognized as income when substantially all services to be performed by the Company and conditions related to the sale of the franchise have been performed or satisfied, which generally occurs when the franchised restaurant commences operations.

 

Development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by the Company. Fees from development agreements are deferred when received and recognized as income as restaurants in the development area commence operations on a pro rata basis to the minimum number of restaurants required to be open.

 

Deferred franchise fees and development fees are classified as current or long term in the financial statements based on the projected opening date of the restaurants. Royalty fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchise sales, are made by the franchisee.

 

Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $272 and $550 during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

No recent accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – DEFERRED INCOME AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

 

The Company has received advances from customers seeking to purchase a franchise. The deposits are classified as customer deposits until a franchise agreement is signed. Once a franchise agreement is signed the advances are nonrefundable and reclassified to deferred income. The franchisee has the responsibility to complete the build out of the restaurant within the time designated in the franchise agreement (generally 5 years). Once the restaurant build out is complete and is operational the Company recognizes the franchise fee as revenues. If the franchisee fails to complete the build out within the required period the franchise fee is forfeited and the Company recognizes the fee as income.

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended June 31, 2015 and 2014 was $7,857 and $7,857, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets consist of costs associated with acquiring Pizza Fusion franchise and trademark rights, website development costs and trademark and logo costs. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized.

 

The following is a summary of intangible assets at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014:

 

    June 30, 2015     September 30, 2014

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders PF Hospitality Group, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PF Hospitality Group, Inc.(f/k/a Kalahaari Greentech, Inc) (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) , and cash flows for the years ended. PF Hospitality Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PF Hospitality Group, Inc.as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for years ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, The Company has suffered net losses and has had negative cash flows from operating activities during the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Kalahari Greentech, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 5, 2005. On October 26, 2007, the Company merged with NextGen Bioscience, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, changing its name to Kalahari Greentech, Inc (“Kalahari Greentech, Inc.-Subsidiary”).

 

For accounting purposes, Kalahari Greentech, Inc. - Subsidiary was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Kalahari Greentech, Inc. - Subsidiary pursuant to which Kalahari Greentech, Inc. - Subsidiary was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Kalahari Greentech, Inc - Subsidiary immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. Also, going forward the business operations of Kalahari Greentech, Inc. - Subsidiary will become the Company’s principal business operations.

 

The Company is engaged in on developing, constructing and operating wind and solar energy projects, either on its own or in partnership with other energy companies. The Company designs, produces and provides wind turbines, solar collectors and other sustainable energy technologies. The Company focuses to seek out opportunities to utilize its technology to develop renewable energy sources. It is developing the first series of prototypes of the Tri-Brid power solution.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported net losses of $114,160 and $3,143,827 for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, accumulated deficit of $9,219,597 and $9,105,436.

 

The Company has no revenue from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectability of those fees. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment.

 

Costs of revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs are not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to five years.

 

Impairment of long lived assets

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company management performed an evaluation of its intellectual property for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the asset at September 30, 2013. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value exceeded its fair value for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,845,656, net of tax to reduce the carrying value of the intellectual property to $-0-.

 

On March 12, 2013 the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Honeymark International, LLC (hereinafter “HI”) to acquire an initial twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Membership Ownership Interest of HI including certain exclusive rights. The LOI includes an option allowing the Company to purchase the additional 75% of HI. At September 30, 2014, the Company management determined that Membership Ownership Interest was of no value at September 30, 2014. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $49,000, net of tax to reduce the carrying value of the investment to $-0-.

 

These impairment charges is reflected as part of the loss from operations in the accompanying financial statements. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

 

Net loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. Fully diluted shares for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were 365,114,392 and 335,502,200, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) using the modified-prospective transition method. Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to decide whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard requires management to decide whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations in the footnotes. The standard becomes effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Management’s evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been disclosed above.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – ASSET PURCHASE OF “AGT”

 

In January, 2012 The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with AGT American Silver and Gold, LLC (“AGT”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Texas, where the Company would purchase 100% of the rights, titles and interests of AGT for 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not party to any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

For the period from April 5, 2005 (date of inception) through September 30, 2014, the Company had available for U.S. federal income tax purposes net operating loss carryovers of approximately $4,500,000, which expiring through the year of 2034. The net operating loss carryovers may be subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since, in the opinion of management, based upon the earnings history of the Company it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

 

The income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consists of the following:

 

    2014     2013  
Federal:                
Current   $ -     $ -  
Deferred     4,700       82,250  
      4,700       82,250  
                 
State and local:                
Current     -       -  
Deferred     720       12,700  
      720       12,700  
                 
Change in valuation allowance     (5,420 )     (94,950 )
                 
Income tax provision (benefit)   $ -     $ -  

 

The provision for income taxes differ from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory rate to losses before income tax expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 as follows:

 

    September 30, 2014 and 2013  
Statutory federal income tax rate     (35.0 )%
Statutory state and local income tax rate (8.25%), net of federal benefit     (5.4 )%
Change in valuation allowance     40.4 %
Effective tax rate     0.0 %

 

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences representing deferred tax asset and liabilities result principally from the following:

 

    September 30,  
    2014     2013  
Deferred tax assets (liabilities):                
Stock based compensation issued and to be issued for services rendered   $ 905,000     $ 905,000  
Net operating loss carryforward     900,420       895,000  
Less: valuation allowance     (1,805,420 )     (1,800,000 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The provisions of ASC 740 require companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based upon the technical merits of the position. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that the Company has any material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or measurement in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. Accordingly, the adoption of these provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective July 1, 2015, the Company merged with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (“Pizza Fusion”), a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, we became a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. Pursuant to the terms of the May 26, 2015 merger agreement, we exchanged 17,117,268 shares of our common stock for 100% of the Pizza Fusion common shares and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, Pizza Fusion’s founders, Vaughan Dugan and Randy Romano, each purchased 21,441,366 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at a price of $.0001 per share. The shares are restricted and subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 144. Holders of convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed to convert such debt into 40,000,000 shares of our common stock as part of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, Vaughan Dugan was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Randy Romano was appointed as President. Messrs. Dugan and Romano were also appointed to the Company’s board of directors. David Kugelman resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Director.

 

Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated July 27, 2015, the Company issued and sold a $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to the company as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. The company agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on date the company closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.

 

Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, the company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of common stock the company is permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, the company further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts.

 

The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain negative covenants by the company, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of the company’s common stock or debts, sell substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, pay cash dividends or enter into any related party transactions. We granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by the company for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.

 

The debentures are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the twenty trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if the company issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of the company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of the company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of the company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days notice to the company.

 

On August 25, 2015 the holders of an aggregate of $65,500 of the Company’s convertible debt plus accrued interest of $24,763.69 converted the amounts owed them into 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

PF Hospitality Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 5, 2005. On October 26, 2007, the Company merged with NextGen Bioscience, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, changing its name to Kalahari Greentech, Inc (“Kalahari Greentech, Inc.-Subsidiary”) On May 26, 2015, the Company again changed its name to PF Hospitality Group, Inc.

 

For accounting purposes, PF Hospitality Group, Inc. - Subsidiary was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. - Subsidiary pursuant to which PF Hospitality Group, Inc. - Subsidiary was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. - Subsidiary immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. Also, going forward the business operations of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. - Subsidiary will become the Company’s principal business operations.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported net losses of $62,595 and $92,632 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, accumulated deficit of $9,703,690 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $679,542 as of June 30, 2015.

 

The Company no revenue from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectability of those fees. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment.

Costs of revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs are not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.

 

Impairment of long lived assets

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Net loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Both of which are adjusted to give effect to the 2,000-for-1 reverse stock split, which was effected on May 26, 2015 (see Note 5). There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. Fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 179,852 and 183,289, respectively; and 179,852 and 182,739 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company’s historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 related to losses incurred during such periods.

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) using the modified-prospective transition method. Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

 

The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Number 2015-3 entitled “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The new guidance specifies that debt issuance costs under the new standard are to be netted against the carrying value of the financial liability. Under current guidance, debt issuance costs are recognized as a deferred charge and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. The new guidance aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs and debt discounts in that both reduce the carrying value of the liability. It is important to note that neither the recognition nor measurement of debt issuance costs is changed as a result of the ASU. Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be recorded as interest expense on the income statement.

 

The effective date of the new guidance is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, for public business entities and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued previously. The Company does not believe the effect of the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

The note payable was initially recorded as part of a business transaction in 2010 and it is the Company’s belief that the debt was cancelled in conjunction with the subsequent cancellation of the business transaction.

 

There has been no collection or contact by the noteholder since 2010 and the Company has been unable to determine who, in fact, could be the noteholder. As such, the Company is pursuing the write off of the note through legal counsel based on statute of limitation laws of the State of Nevada.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective July 1, 2015, the Company merged with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. Under the terms of the merger with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc., the Company issued 17,117,268 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) for 100% of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc.’s common shares and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, the Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. founders agreed to purchase an aggregate of 42,882,732 shares of the Company’s common stock and 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at a price of $.0001 per share. The holders of the Company’s convertible debt (Note 4) in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed to convert such debt into 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On July 27, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it issued and sold $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to the Company as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. The Company agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on date the Company closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.

 

Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of common stock the Company is permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. The Company will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain negative covenants by the Company, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of the Company’s common stock or debts, sale of substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, payment of cash dividends or entry into any related party transactions. The Company granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by the Company for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.

 

The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the 20 trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

 

On August 25, 2015 the holders of an aggregate of $65,500 of the Company’s convertible debt plus accrued interest of $24,763.69 converted the amounts owed them into 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of PFH Common Stock under the FBCA (if applicable) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.02.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within ten (10) business days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

  4  
 

  

d) Representation by the Holder . The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5 . Miscellaneous .

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(a), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares .

 

i. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

ii. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

  5  
 

  

iii. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

f) Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.

 

h) Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

i) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k) Successors and Assigns . Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l) Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

m) Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n) Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation were approved by the written consent of holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock, our only voting group, on May 26, 2015. The number of votes cast for the amendment was sufficient for approval by holders of common stock, our only voting group.

At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holder or holders of not less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action taken by the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast, including abstentions, by the holders of shares of such class or classes or series shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

 

Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings.

If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

 

Section 12. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

ARTICLE XI INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 43. Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

 

(a) Directors Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Nevada General Corporation Law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the Nevada General Corporation Law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

 

(b) Employees and Other Agents. The Corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

(c) Expense. The Corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said mounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the Corporation to an officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

 

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct that make it permissible under the Nevada General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed in the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.

If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

 

(j) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(i) The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(iv) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc.
Franchise Agreement

 

This Franchise Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of the Agreement Date shown on the cover page between Pizza Fusion Holding, Inc., a Florida corporation, and the individual or legal entity identified on the cover page (“ Franchisee ”). If Franchisee is a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company, then the Franchisee’s owner(s) are also identified on the cover page.

 

In this Agreement, “ we ,” “ us ” and “ our ” refers to Pizza Fusion Holding, Inc., the franchisor. “ You ” and “ your ” refers to the Franchisee. “ Owners ” means the person(s) listed on the cover page and all other persons whom we may subsequently approve to acquire an interest in Franchisee. “ Operating Principal ” means the person designated as the Operating Principal on the cover page and who meets the criteria in Section 6.15 of this Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

A. We are in the business of franchising others to operate “Pizza Fusion” restaurant businesses, which feature a competitively priced menu of organic and all-natural gourmet pizza and related food specialties, and standards and methods of operation designed to be “green,” and which are operated in buildings that bear our interior and/or exterior trade dress (each a “ Restaurant ” or “ Franchised Business ”).

 

B. We have developed a distinctive set of specifications and operating procedures (collectively, the “ System ”) for Restaurants. The distinguishing characteristics of the System include: dough, sauce, and other recipes and products that are prepared or manufactured in accordance with our proprietary and/or secret recipes, trade secrets, standards, and specifications that we deem secret (“ Secret Recipe Products ”) and other designated and approved products; standards and procedures for business operations, including “green” design, construction, and operating practices; equipment layouts, graphics packages and signage, distinctive interior and exterior design and accessories, quality and uniformity of products and services offered; procedures for management and inventory control; training and assistance; advertising and promotional programs; and customer development and service techniques. These are not necessarily all of the elements of the System. We may change, improve, add to, delete from, and further develop the elements of the System from time to time.

 

C. We identify the businesses operating under the System by means of the “Pizza Fusion” name and certain other trademarks, service marks, trade names, signs, logos, and other indicia of origin (collectively, the “ Proprietary Marks ”). We may designate other trade names, service marks, and trademarks (and also periodically delete old names and marks) as Proprietary Marks.

 

D. You understand the importance of our high standards of quality, appearance, and service and the necessity of operating your Franchised Business in accordance with this Agreement and our standards, specifications and procedures.

 

Therefore, the parties, who each intend to be legally bound by this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, now agree as follows:

The term “Premises” means the location shown on the cover page to this Agreement or a location that is determined under process set out in Section 4.1 below.

 

1.1.2 Your rights under this Agreement have limits, such as the following:

Without our prior written approval, you may not engage in any other type of sale, including, but not limited to: selling, distributing, or otherwise providing, any services or products to third parties at wholesale, or for resale or distribution by any third party; and selling, distributing or otherwise providing any products and/or services through catalogs, mail order, toll free numbers for delivery, or electronic means (e.g., the Internet). You acknowledge and agree that the sole purpose of the Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area is to specify the geographic area in which you will be authorized to provide catering and delivery services and conduct advertising under the terms of this Agreement, and that the designation of the Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area does not grant, and will not be implied to grant, any territorial rights or protections to you or the Franchised Business, and we reserve all other rights as set forth in Section 1.3 below.

 

1.2.2 You may advertise and market the Franchised Business and directly solicit customers only within your Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area (subject to Section 9.3 below).

1.3. Our Limitations and Our Reserved Rights. The rights granted to you under this Agreement are not exclusive. We and our affiliates have the right to conduct any business activities, under any name, and at (or from) any location notwithstanding those business activities’ actual or threatened impact on sales of the Franchised Business. For example, we may, among other things, on any terms and conditions we deem advisable, and without granting you any rights therein, do any or all of the following:

 

1.3.1 We have the right to establish, and license others to establish, Franchised Businesses at any location notwithstanding their proximity to the Franchised Business or the Premises or their actual or threatened impact on sales of the Franchised Business.

 

1.3.2 We have the right to establish, and license others to establish, businesses under other systems or other proprietary marks, which businesses may offer or sell products and services that are different from the principal products and services offered from the Franchised Business, and which businesses may be located within or outside the Premises, notwithstanding such business’ proximity to the Franchised Business or the Premises or their actual or threatened impact on sales of the Franchised Business.

 

1.3.3 We have the right to acquire and operate any business of any kind or be acquired by another business, notwithstanding such business’ actual or threatened impact on sales of the Franchised Business.

The term “ Institutional Facility ” is agreed to mean any outlet that primarily serves the customers located within the facility, such as captive audience facilities and limited purpose or limited access facilities, and includes among other things: airports; train or bus stations; travel plazas; factories; federal, state or local government facilities (including military bases); hospitals and other health-care facilities; stadiums and arenas; recreational facilities; schools, colleges and other academic facilities; convention centers; seasonal facilities; shopping malls; theaters; museums; and workplace cafeterias.

 

1.3.5 We have the right to sell and distribute, directly or indirectly, through any channels of distribution (including, but not limited to, supermarkets, gourmet shops, mail order, and on the internet) any products or services (including products and services that are the same or similar to those offered by Restaurants and using the Pizza Fusion name), from any location or to any purchaser or customer, advertise in any area (including in your Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area) and/or serve customers who reside within your Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area. You acknowledge that customers have total freedom to select the Pizza Fusion Restaurant that they wish to patronize.

 

1.3.6 We have the right to provide, and license others to provide, products or services to Major Accounts (as that term is defined below) at any location, notwithstanding such Major Accounts’ proximity to the Franchised Business or the Premises or their actual or threatened impact on sales at the Franchised Business. The term “ Major Account ” is agreed to mean any customer we designate as such, based upon our sole determination that, because such customer conducts its business at multiple locations and we deem this customer to be of strategic importance, the account, services and pricing of such customer shall be negotiated and secured either (i) by us or (ii) with our assistance, approval and oversight; as further described in Section 6.12 below.

Additionally, you authorize us to charge against any of your credit cards any amounts due to us or to any of our affiliates. You agree to supply us a written list of all of your credit cards (including card number, name, and expiration date) and to update that list periodically, if there are changes to the information.

3.7. Delinquency . If any Royalties or other amounts owed to us are not paid in full by the due date, we have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, if less than 1.5%) from the date such amount was due until paid in full. Unpaid interest charges will compound annually. In addition, we will have the right to charge a late fee for each occurrence of a payment that is more than 30 days past due, which fee will be $100 for the first such occurrence, $200 for the second such occurrence, and $300 for the third and each subsequent occurrence during the Term of this Agreement. The late fee is to compensate us for our administrative costs incurred in enforcing your obligation to pay us.

 

3.8. Dishonored Payments . For any amount that you must pay to us or our affiliates, if we are not able to successfully complete a wire transfer or electronic debit for such payment as described Section 3.6 above, or if a check that you issue for such payment is returned by the bank against which it was drawn, due to insufficient funds in your account(s), closure of your account(s) or any other reason resulting in the nonpayment (each a “ Dishonored Payment ”), we have the right to charge a fee of $100 per occurrence (a “ Dishonored Payment Charge ”). We will notify you of each Dishonored Payment and any Dishonored Payment Charge that we impose. We may add the Dishonored Payment Charge to the amount to be paid via the next wire transfer or electronic debit. The Dishonored Payment Charge applies in addition to any late fee and interest that we have the right to charge, or any other remedy to which we are entitled, under this Agreement, at law, or in equity.

 

3.9 Taxes . You are responsible for all taxes levied or assessed on you or the Franchised Business in connection with your activities under this Agreement.

 

3.10 Obligations Absolute. You agree that your obligations to pay us (as well as our affiliates) under this Agreement or any other agreement in connection to the Franchised Business are absolute and unconditional, and not subject to abatement or setoff for past or future claims that you may assert.

Upon our written request, you agree to grant to us a first-priority security interest in all of your assets (including all proceeds thereof and after-acquired property), as security for all your monetary and other obligations to us or our affiliates arising under or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement. Such assets include all furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, inventory and all other property, (tangible or intangible), that you now own or later acquire, used in connection with the Franchised Business, and wheresoever located as well as all contractual and related rights you have under this Agreement and all other agreements between the parties.

We will not unreasonably withhold our approval of special plans and specifications, prepared at your expense, when the Approved Location will not accommodate our standard plans and specifications, provided that such plans and specifications conform to our general design criteria. You will be responsible for the design and layout that your architect or engineer prepares. If we express an opinion about the plans or indicate our approval, it will be merely for the purpose of our own determination that your plans will satisfy our internal standards, specifications, and layout. We will not be in a position to provide any assurances, and therefore can not be deemed to have given any information about, whether your plans satisfy any federal, state, and local laws, codes and regulations (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ ADA ”)).

 

(b) After obtaining any required governmental approvals and clearances, you must submit to us, for our approval, final plans for construction based upon the preliminary plans and specifications. Once approved by us, such final plans may not be changed or modified without our prior written consent.

 

(c) You must employ a qualified, licensed general contractor to construct the Franchised Business and complete all improvements.

 

(d) Your architect or engineer must also comply with all applicable zoning, signage, seating capacity, parking requirements and alcoholic-beverage (i.e., beer and wine products that we designate or approve) licensing and storage requirements.

 

(e) Within 10 days after commencing construction, you must provide us with written notice of the date you began construction.

 

4.3.3 We may require that you provide us a written certification from your registered architect that the Franchised Business has been constructed, furnished, equipped, and decorated in accordance with approved plans and specifications.

 

4.3.4 We may recommend that you use a construction project manager that we designate for constructing the Premises. If we do so and you choose not to use our recommended construction manager, you must hire a general contractor who is reasonably acceptable to us and who must have the following minimum insurance coverage: (a) commercial general liability in an amount of $2,000,000 combined single limit; (b) comprehensive automobile liability for owned, hired and non-owned motor vehicles in an amount of $1,000,000 combined single limit; (c) workers’ compensation, occupational diseases and disability benefits in accordance with applicable statutory requirements; (d) employers’ liability in an amount of $1,000,000; (e) employee fidelity bond of $2,000,000; and (f) umbrella form excess liability insurance in excess of the limits provided by the commercial general liability policy required above with limits of $3,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate.

4.3.5 Before you can open for business, you must satisfy all of our pre-opening requirements, whether they are set out in this Agreement, the Manuals, or as we may otherwise specify, and you must obtain our written approval prior to opening the Franchised Business. You must open the Franchised Business within seven days after obtaining our written approval for opening, unless we agree in writing to extend this deadline.

 

4.4. Our Review . Any reviews that we conduct under this Section 4 are only for our benefit. You acknowledge that our review and approval of a site, lease, sublease, design plans or renovation plans for a Franchised Business do not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee of the suitability of that location or the terms of the lease, or sublease, or purchase agreement. You agree that you will take all steps necessary to determine for yourself whether a particular location and the terms of any lease, sublease, or purchase agreement for the site are beneficial and acceptable to you.

 

4.5 Opening Deadline . You must begin operating the Franchised Business by the opening deadline specified in Appendix A. The date you actually open the Franchised Business is the “ Opening Date .”

 

4.6 Relocation and other Uses of the Premises. You may not relocate the Franchised Business from the Premises without our prior written consent. You may only use the Premises for the purpose of operating your Franchised Business and for no other purpose. You may not sublet or otherwise allow any other party to operate any enterprise at your Premises without our prior written approval.

 

5. TRAINING

 

5.1. Initial Training Program

 

5.1.1. Before you begin operating, the two persons who you designate (and who we find acceptable) to provide managerial responsibilities (each a “ Manager Trainee ”) must all successfully attend (at the same time) and successfully complete our initial training program (we may designate portions of the training program that each person must attend and successfully complete), which is held at our headquarters and/or another location(s) that we specify. One Manager Trainee must be your Operating Principal (who meets the criteria in Section 6.15 of this Agreement), unless we mutually agree otherwise. You may designate another person who will be active in the day-to-day activities and management of the Franchised Business to be the second Manager Trainee. You may ask that additional employees be allowed to attend the portions of the initial training that are designed for your employees, and we will have the right to approve or disapprove that request. All trainees must be persons that we find acceptable at all times to serve in their respective capacities. As of the Effective Date, our training program has two components, as follows:

 

(a) An Advanced Operations Course for your Operating Principal, which consists of up to twelve days for your Operating Principal and is conducted at our training facilities in Broward County, Florida, or at another location that we may specify in writing.

 

(b) A Basic Operations Course for any Manager Trainee other than your Operating Principal, which consists of up to twelve days of training and is conducted at our training facilities in Broward County, Florida, or at another location that we may specify in writing. Your Manager Trainees (other than your Operating Principal), and such of the Franchisee’s other employees as we designate must attend this component of training.

 

5.1.2. We will issue a certificate of completion for each Manager Trainee who completes the initial training program we require to our satisfaction (each such person will be referred to as a “ Certified Manager ”). We have the right to determine whether a person has or has not successfully completed training. If you (or your personnel) fail to complete initial training to our satisfaction, we may permit you (or they) to repeat the course or allow you to send a substitute to the next available scheduled training session; however, we will have no obligation to extend the opening deadline in Section 4 for this purpose.

 

  Page 10 of 39

 

 

5.1.3. We have the right to reduce the duration or content of the training program for any trainee who has prior experience with our concept or in similar businesses. We also may allow you to train certain of your managers (which may include Certified Managers) and successors in those positions at your location.

 

5.1.4. Failure to complete the initial training program constitutes grounds for termination, as provided in Section 15 of this Agreement.

 

5.2. Opening Training and Assistance . We provide up to fourteen (14) days of pre-opening training and opening assistance at your Premises. The Operating Principal and the other Manager Trainee and such of your other employees as we designate must attend this component of training, which will begin approximately seven days before the Opening Date and conclude approximately seven days thereafter.

 

5.3. Additional Training by Us . We may require your Certified Managers and/or other designated persons to successfully complete additional training courses during the Term of this Agreement at a location that we specify (including an annual conference for franchisees in the System). We may also offer optional training programs. You may also request that we provide additional training at the location of your Franchised Business, and we will provide such training if we determine that we are able to do so. We may charge you a training fee and our out-of-pocket expenses for all additional training programs, whether mandatory or optional, or whether you request or we require such training, which fee shall be as set forth in the Manual or otherwise in writing.

 

5.4. Training by You. We have the right to specify training programs related to the System that you must conduct for your employees using approved training materials or that we will provide at our headquarters. For any training of your personnel that we conduct, you are responsible for expenses incurred while they attend training, including salaries, benefits, travel, lodging, meals, and other related expenses. We reserve the right to charge you for training additional personnel.

 

5.5. Training Materials and Methods . All training materials that we provide to you remain our property. We have the right to provide training programs in person, on tape, via the Internet or other electronic means, or by other means and media, as we determine.

 

5.6. Expenses . We will provide instructors, facilities, and materials for the initial training program at no charge, provided that all of your personnel are trained during the same training session. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for training additional personnel (in excess of two), re-training persons who are repeating the course or replacing a person who did not pass. For all training, including initial training, you are responsible for any travel expenses, living expenses, wages, and other expenses incurred by your trainees.

 

6. OPERATIONS

 

6.1. Compliance with Standards. You agree to comply with all mandatory specifications and procedures set forth from time to time in our confidential operating manual (the “ Manual ”). You acknowledge that the accounting practices, record keeping, software, services, and operation of your Franchised Business are important to us and our other franchisees. However, you acknowledge that we have the right to vary our standards and specifications, in our reasonable judgment, to accommodate circumstances of individual franchisees.

 

6.2. Products and Services You May Offer . You may offer customers only the products and services that we have expressly authorized Franchised Businesses to offer, as we have the right to specify in the Manual from time to time. We have the right to change the authorized products and services, and we may designate specific products or services as optional or mandatory (including alcoholic beverages). You acknowledge that we may approve some services, products, and other items for certain franchisees and not others based on legitimate business reasons. You must use menus that meet our then-current specifications as to content, materials, finish, style, pattern, and design.

 

  Page 11 of 39

 

 

6.3. Secret Recipe Products. We have developed and may continue to develop additional Secret Recipe Products. The Secret Recipe Products are our proprietary products. In order to maintain the high standards of quality, taste, and uniformity of these products and protect the proprietary nature of these products, you agree to purchase the Secret Recipe Products only from us, our affiliates or from sources that we designate or approve and license

 

6.4 Sourcing of Other Products, Equipment and Supplies.

 

6.4.1. Without limiting Section 6.3 above, we have the right to require that all of the food items, equipment (including but not limited to vehicles used in connection with the Franchised Business), supplies, materials, and other products and services used or offered for sale at your Franchised Business: (a) meet specifications that we establish from time to time; and/or (b) be purchased only from suppliers that we have expressly approved; and/or (c) be purchased only from a single source (which may include us or our affiliates or a buying cooperative that we organize). To the extent that we establish specifications, require approval of suppliers, or designate specific suppliers for particular items, we will publish our requirements in the Manual.

 

6.4.2. If you would like to use or offer food items (other than the Secret Recipe Products), equipment, supplies, materials, and other products and services that we have not approved, or purchase from a vendor, supplier, distributor, or other source (together, “supplier(s)”) that we have not approved, then you must submit to us a written request for approval. We have the ongoing right to inspect any proposed supplier’s facilities and to test samples of the proposed products or services. You agree to pay us an amount not to exceed the reasonable cost of the inspection and our actual cost of testing the proposed product or service, including personnel and travel costs, whether or not we ultimately approve the supplier. We have the right to grant, deny, or revoke approval of products, services, and suppliers. We will notify you in writing of our decision as soon as practicable following our evaluation. We reserve the right to reinspect the facilities and products of any approved supplier and to revoke approval if we find that the supplier fails to meet any of our then-current criteria. If you receive a notice of revocation of approval, you agree to immediately stop buying products or services from the disapproved supplier and, in the case of revocation based on failure of products to meet our standards, you agree to dispose of your remaining inventory of the disapproved supplier’s products as we direct.

 

6.4.3. If you wish to test market an item that we have not approved, then, so long as we have given you our prior written approval, you may do so for so long, and on such terms, that we mutually agree upon (a “ Test ”), and the item so tested, and all associated formulae, plans, and materials, will become our property. If, following the Test, we determine that we will approve the tested item, then for so long as we deem that item to be an “approved item” under this Agreement, you will have the right to use that item under the terms of this Agreement; and we will have the right to use and market that item as we see fit, including but not limited to use in our own Restaurants as well as that of other licensees and franchisees, without compensation to you. You agree to sign such documents (and require your employees and any independent contractors that you have engaged to sign such documents) as we may require in order to implement the provisions of this Section 6.4.3.

 

6.4.4. We and our affiliates may receive payments or other compensation from suppliers on account of such suppliers’ dealings with you and other franchisees; and, we may use all amounts so received for any purpose we and our affiliates deem appropriate.

 

6.5. Delivery Vehicles . If you wish to use a vehicle to provide delivery services (a “ Delivery Vehicle ”) as part of your Franchised Business, you must comply with the specifications and standards that we may periodically prescribe in the Manuals for Delivery Vehicles. Our specifications and standards may include, among other things: designating Delivery Vehicles specific make and model; limitations on the Useful Life for a Delivery Vehicle and standards for maintenance or repair services.

 

  Page 12 of 39

 

 

6.5.1. The term “ Useful Life ” means the period of time after which you must stop using the Delivery Vehicle for the Franchised Business. We have the right to determine the Useful Life of any Delivery Vehicle, which may include reasonable standards as to how many model years old the vehicle may be, the appearance of the vehicle, and the performance of the vehicle. After the Useful Life, you must remove all Proprietary Marks and any other indicia associating the Delivery Vehicle with the System, and immediately purchase or lease a new Delivery Vehicle.

 

6.5.2. We have the right to specify the makes and models of Delivery Vehicles approved for use by our franchisees, and anticipate that we will make changes over time to reflect and take advantage of advances in technology and/or alternative energy powered vehicles.

 

6.6. Alcohol Permits . Before you begin operating the Franchised Business you must obtain, and at all times thereafter you must maintain, all licenses and permits required to sell, dispense, and store beer and wine beverages and be prepared to offer and sell such beer and wine products to customers at the Premises as we designate as mandatory product offerings, unless you obtain from us a written waiver of this requirement. You must comply with all laws and regulations relating to the selling, dispensing, and storing of alcoholic beverages. You must also comply with the standards, specifications, and terms that we may establish regarding the offer, sale, and presentation of alcoholic beverages, as require or approved products. You must obtain and maintain appropriate insurance coverage for you and for our benefit, including any minimum coverages that we may establish.

6.9. Employment Responsibilities . You have sole responsibility for all employment decisions and functions related to your Franchised Business, including hiring, firing, compensation, benefits, work hours, work rules, record-keeping, supervision, and discipline of employees. You must take such steps as are necessary to ensure that your employees preserve good customer relations; render competent, prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable service; and meet any minimum standards that we may establish from time to time in the Manual, which may include standards as to the minimum number of employees, which we may determine, necessary to meet the anticipated volume of business and to achieve the goals of the System.

 

6.10. Customer Service Program . You acknowledge that providing superior customer service is a vital component of the System. You must participate in customer service programs, which we have the right to specify from time to time in the Manual. Such programs may include the use of independent evaluation service to conduct “mystery customer” quality control, customer satisfaction surveys, or any other quality control or evaluation programs. If you receive an unsatisfactory or failing report in connection with any such program, you must immediately implement any remedial actions we require and pay us all expenses we incurred to have the evaluation service evaluate the Franchised Business, and all expenses we may have incurred to inspect the Franchised Business thereafter.

 

6.11. Customer List . You must create and maintain, in such manner as we may from time to time require, a current customer list (the “ Customer List ”) containing as to each of your customers, such customer’s name, e-mail address, location address, telephone number and zip code (9 digits). You must provide a copy of such list to us on a quarterly basis (or at such other intervals as we may prescribe). The Customer List is, and remains, our exclusive property, you hereby assign to us all rights you now have or hereafter may acquire in the Customer List. After the expiration or termination of this Agreement, you may not retain, use or disclose the Customer List, or any of the information contained therein, without our written authorization.

6.12. Major Accounts

 

6.12.1. You acknowledge that our negotiation of Major Accounts, including rates and services to be performed, enhances the potential value of the System and inures to your benefit as well as to our benefit and that of other Restaurant franchisees. As noted in Section 1.3 above, we reserve the right to provide products and services to all Major Accounts. We may offer you the right to provide products and services to a Major Account within your Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area. If you accept the obligation to provide products and services to a Major Account, you must service such Major Account on our behalf, in accordance with the pricing and other terms that we negotiate with the Major Account customer. You may not enter into any relationship with a Major Account customer that we deem to conflict with the customer’s Major Account arrangement with us. We will have the right to handle all billing and collection for services performed under a Major Account arrangement. Certain Major Account customers may require that we provide additional volume rebates, which we will negotiate with the customer on a case-by-case basis. You will have the option not to provide products or services to any Major Account customer that is offered to you.

 

6.12.2. We may terminate your right to provide products and services to a Major Account customer at any time by giving you at least 30 days’ prior written notice, and you may terminate your right to provide products and services to a Major Account at any time by giving us at least 30 days’ prior written notice. If we elect not to offer you the opportunity to provide products or services to a Major Account, if you decline the option to accept a Major Account, if your right to provide products or services to a Major Account terminates, or if you fail to satisfy the conditions and obligations of any Major Account agreement, we have the right to service and/or authorize others to service Major Account customers within your Delivery/Catering and Advertising Area without any compensation to you. We have no obligation to permit you to provide products or services to a Major Account or to transfer any Major Account customer to you if you are subsequently willing and able to provide service.

 

6.13. Inspections . We have the right, at any time during normal business hours: (i) to conduct inspections of the Franchised Business; (ii) to interview your employees, work crews, and customers; and (iii) to review your business records, including those maintained electronically or off premises. We can initiate these actions with or without prior notice to you. You must cooperate with such inspections by giving our representatives unrestricted access and rendering such assistance as our representatives may reasonably request. If we notify you of any deficiencies after the inspection, you must promptly take steps to correct them. If you fail to correct any deficiencies within a reasonable time, we have the right to correct such deficiencies and to invoice you for our expenses.

 

6.14. Compliance with Laws . You agree to operate the Franchised Business in full compliance with all applicable municipal, county, state, and federal laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. You have sole responsibility for such compliance despite any information or advice that we may provide. (To the extent that the requirements of those laws are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the Manuals, or our other instructions, you must: (a) comply with those laws; and (b) immediately give us written notice of the conflict.)

 

6.15. Operating Principal and Management Supervision

 

6.15.1. If you are a corporation, partnership or LLC, you must have an individual owner serve as your Operating Principal. The Operating Principal must own a majority of the voting and ownership interests in the franchisee entity, unless you obtain our prior written approval for the Operating Principal to hold a smaller interest. The Operating Principal must complete our training program, must have authority over all business decisions related to the Franchised Business, and must have the power to bind you in all dealings with us. You may not change the Operating Principal without our prior approval.

 

  Page 14 of 39

 

 

6.15.2. At all times that the Franchised Business is operating, it must be under the personal, on-premises supervision of the Operating Principal who is a Certified Manager, or another individual who is a Certified Manager. You may not permit the Franchised Business to be operated, managed, directed, or controlled by any other person without our prior written consent. At least one Certified Manager must devote, on a full-time basis, his or her best efforts to managing and operating the Franchised Business. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, before the Operating Principal or any other manager may manage the Franchised Business, he or she must become a Certified Manager (as provided in Section 5.1.2) and acquire any food-safety-program certification that the local, state or municipality may require, as well as any other licenses, permits, and certifications that we may require from time to time.

 

6.15.3 If the Certified Manager is an individual other than Operating Principal, and such Certified Manager ceases to satisfy his or her obligations under this Agreement due to death, disability, termination of employment, or for any other reason, the Operating Principal must satisfy such obligations until you designate a new Certified Manager of the Franchised Business, who is acceptable to us and has successfully completed the initial training program we require.

 

6.15.4. All persons with a 5% or greater ownership interest in the franchise must sign a personal guaranty on the form attached to this Agreement as Appendix B.

 

6.16 Maintenance of Premises . You must at all times maintain the Franchised Business in a high degree of sanitation, repair, and condition, and must make such additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements (but no others without our prior written consent) as may be required for that purpose, including, without limitation, such periodic repainting or replacement of obsolete signs, furnishings, equipment, and decor as we may reasonably direct.

 

6.17 Ongoing Upgrades and Refurbishments . Throughout the term of this Agreement, you must maintain all of the fixtures, furnishings, equipment, decor, and signs that we prescribe from time to time in the Manuals or otherwise in writing. If we determine that additional or replacement equipment is needed because of a change in menu items or method of preparation and service, a change in technology, customer concerns, health or safety considerations, or because of any other reason, you agree that you will install the additional equipment or replacement equipment within the reasonable time we specify.

 

6.18 Five-Year Refurbishment and Renovations . At our request, but not more often than once every five (5) years (and not before the fifth year after you begin operating), unless sooner required by your lease, you must refurbish the Premises, at your expense, to conform to the restaurant design, façade, signage, trade dress, color schemes, and presentation of the Proprietary Marks in a manner consistent with the then-current image for new Pizza Fusion restaurants. Such refurbishment may include structural changes, installation of new equipment and signs, remodeling, redecoration, and modifications to existing improvements, and, shall be completed pursuant to such standards, specifications, and deadlines as we may reasonably specify.

 

6.19. Insurance .

 

6.19.1 . Types and Amounts of Coverage . Throughout the entire Term, you must maintain such types of insurance, in such amounts, as we may require. Such insurance is in addition to any other insurance that may be required by applicable law, your landlord, or otherwise. Policies that we require must be written by an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to us with an A.M. Best rating of “A” or better, and, must name us as an additional insured party. At a minimum, such policies must include the following:

 

(a) commercial general liability insurance, completed-operations and independent-contractors coverage in the amount of $1,000,000, per person/per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage combined with a general aggregate of $3,000,000.

 

  Page 15 of 39

 

 

(b) workers’-compensation coverage in the amount of at least $100,000/$500,000/$100,000, unemployment insurance and employer’s liability insurance, as well as such other insurance as may be required by statute or rule of the state in which the Franchised Business is located;

 

(c) fire, lightning, vandalism, theft, malicious mischief, flood (if in a special flood-hazard area), sprinkler damage, and the perils described in ex-tended-coverage insurance with primary and excess limits of not less than the full-replacement value of the supplies, furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery, inventory, and plate glass having a deductible of not more than $1,000 and naming us as a loss payee;

 

(d) automobile liability insurance-including coverage of vehicles not owned by you, but used by employees in connection with the Franchised Business, with a combination of primary and excess limits of not less than $1,000,000;

 

(e) commercial blanket bond in the amount of $100,000; and

 

(f) such other insurance, in such amounts, as we reasonably require for our and your protection.

 

At any time, we may adjust the amounts of coverage required under such insurance policies and require different or additional kinds of insurance, including excess liability insurance.

 

6.19.2 . Evidence of Insurance . By the dates specified below, an approved insurance company must issue a certificate of insurance showing compliance with the insurance requirements in this Section 6.19 and you must furnish us with a paid receipt showing the certificate number: (a) 30 days before beginning construction of the Premises; (b) if the Premises are constructed and presently owned or leased by you, 10 days from the Agreement Date; or (c) if the Premises are not presently owned or leased, 10 days after ownership of the Premises is conveyed to you or you sign a lease for the Premises. The certificate of insurance must include a statement by the insurer that the policy or policies may not be canceled, subject to nonrenewal, or materially altered without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to us. Upon our request, you must supply us with copies of all insurance policies and proof of payment. Every year, you must send us current certificates of insurance and copies of all insurance policies.

 

6.19.3. Requirements for Construction and Renovation . In connection with any construction, renovation, refurbishment, or remodeling of the Premises, you must cause the general contractor to maintain commercial general liability insurance (with comprehensive automobile liability coverage for both owned and non-owned vehicles, builder’s risk, product liability, and independent contractors coverage) with a reputable insurer. Such insurance must be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 and must name us and you as an additional named insured party, as our respective interests may appear. You must also cause the general contractor to maintain workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance as may be required by law.

 

6.19.4 . Our Right to Participate in Claims Procedure . We, or our insurer, may participate in discussions with your insurance company or any claimant (in conjunction with your insurance company) regarding any claim.

 

6.19.5 . Waiver of Subrogation . To the extent this Section may be effective without invalidating, or making it impossible to secure, insurance coverage from responsible insurance companies that are doing business in your state (even though an extra premium may result), with respect to any loss covered by insurance we and you then carry, neither party’s insurance companies have any right of subrogation against those of the other.

 

  Page 16 of 39

 

 

6.19.6 . Effect of Our Insurance . Any insurance that we maintain does not in any way limit or affect your obligation to obtain and maintain the foregoing policy or policies in the amounts specified in this Section. Our performance of your obligations will relieve you of liability under the indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement.

 

6.19.7. Your Failure to Maintain Insurance . If, for any reason, you fail to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Agreement (as we may revise from time to time), we have the right (but not the duty) to procure such insurance. If we do so, we may charge the cost of such insurance, plus interest at the contract interest rate, to you. Upon demand, you must immediately pay us such charges, together with a reasonable fee for our expenses in so acting.

 

6.19.8 . Group Insurance . We may make available to you insurance coverage through group or master policies we arrange (such as relating to property and casualty, workers’ compensation, liability and health, life and disability insurance).

 

6.20. Vendors . You agree to promptly pay, when due, all trade creditors and vendors (including but not limited to any that are affiliated with us) that supply goods and/or services to you in connection with operating your Franchised Business.

 

6.21. General Advice . We will make available to you information about new developments, techniques, and improvements in the areas of operations, management, and marketing, to the same extent as we make the information available to other Restaurant franchisees in good standing. We may fulfill our obligation in this section through the distribution of printed or filmed material, an Extranet or other electronic forum, meetings or seminars, individual or group counseling, training programs, telephone communications, or other forms of communications.

 

6.22 Special Assistance . If you request, and we can reasonably accommodate such request, we will furnish non-routine guidance and assistance to deal with your unusual or unique operating problems at reasonable per diem fees and charges that we periodically establish, as well as our out-of-pocket expenses.

 

6.23 Credit Cards and Other Methods of Payment. At all times, you must maintain credit-card relationships with the credit- and debit-card issuers or sponsors, check or credit verification services, financial-center services, and electronic-fund-transfer systems that we designate as mandatory, and you must not use any such services or providers that we have not approved in writing or for which we have revoked our approval. We have the right to modify our requirements and designate additional approved or required methods of payment and vendors for processing such payments, and to revoke our approval of any service provider. You must comply with all our credit-card policies, including minimum purchase requirements for a customer’s use of a credit card as prescribed in the Manual.

 

6.24 Conferences . We may conduct annual conferences or conventions, which may include training sessions. We may require your Operating Principal, Certified Managers, and other designated employees to attend the conferences. You will be solely responsible for all costs incurred by you and your employees in attending any conferences or conventions.

 

6.25 Pricing. We may, from time to time, but only to the extent permitted by law, establish and impose maximum and minimum prices for the goods and services that you are permitted to sell or offer to sell. If we do so, you must not set your prices below the minimum level that we have established, and not above the maximum level that we have established.

 

6.26 Certification of Performance. After we perform our preopening obligations under this Agreement, we may request that you execute a certification (the “ Certification of Performance ”), in a form we reasonably request, confirming such performance. If we make this request, you must execute and deliver the Certification of Performance to us within three-business days of our request. If, however, you do not reasonably believe that we have performed all our preopening obligations under this Agreement, you must, within said three-day period, provide us with written notice specifically describing the obligations that we have not performed. Not later than three-business days after we complete all the obligations specifically described in your notice, you must execute and deliver the Certification of Performance to us. You must do so even if we performed such obligations after the time performance was due under this Agreement. The term “preopening obligations” means such of our obligations to you under this Agreement that must be performed before the Opening Date for the Franchised Business.

14.3.2. The proposed transferee must complete all of the following requirements:

 

(a) Demonstrate to our satisfaction that he or she meets all of our then-current qualifications to become a Pizza Fusion franchisee, and, at our request, the proposed transferee must travel (at his or her expense) to our principal office for an interview.

 

(b) Sign our then-current standard form of franchise agreement (or the standard form most recently offered to new franchisees, if we are not then offering franchises to new franchisees) for the then-remaining balance of the Term of this Agreement, and such other ancillary agreements we require for new Franchised Businesses. Their new franchise agreement may materially differ from the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c) Successfully complete our then-current training requirements and pay the then-current fee for training.

 

(d) If the proposed transferee is one of our other franchisees, he or she must not be in default under his or her agreements with us and must have a good record of customer service and compliance with our operating standards.

14.3.3. You or the transferee must make arrangements to modernize, upgrade, and conform the Franchised Business, at your and/or the transferee’s expense, to our then-current standards and specifications for new Franchised Businesses.

 

14.3.4 . We must be paid, either by you or the transferee, a transfer fee (“ Transfer Fee ”) in an amount equal to $7,500 (or twenty-five percent (25%) of the then-current initial franchise fee, if greater). The payment of this transfer fee is in place of any initial franchise fee due under the Franchise Agreement the transferee will enter under Section 14.3.2 above. If the transferee is a spouse, son, or daughter of the transferor and the transfer is for estate-planning purposes, no transfer fee is charged, but the transferor must reimburse us for the out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) we incur in connection with reviewing, approving, and properly documenting the transfer.

 

14.3.5 . You and all Owners must execute a general release, in a form satisfactory to us, of all claims against us and our past, present and future affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees. You and the Owners will remain liable to us for all obligations arising before the effective date of the Transfer.

 

14.3.6. The price and other proposed terms of the Transfer must not, in our reasonable business judgment, have the effect of negatively impacting the future viability of the Franchised Business.

 

14.4. Transfer of a Partial Ownership Interest . For any proposal to admit a new Owner, to remove an existing Owner, or to change the distribution of ownership shown on the cover page, or for any other transaction that amounts to the Transfer of a partial interest in the Franchised Business, you must give us advance notice and submit a copy of all proposed contracts and other information concerning the Transfer that we may request. We will have the right to require reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses that we incur in reviewing the proposed Transfer. We will have a reasonable time (not less than thirty (30) days) after we have received all requested information to evaluate the proposed Transfer. You must satisfy the conditions in Sections 8.6, 14.3.2(a), 14.3.4, 14.3.5, and 14.3.6 above in connection with any such transfer. We may withhold our consent on any reasonable grounds or give our consent subject to reasonable conditions. You acknowledge that any proposed new owner must submit a personal application and execute a personal guarantee in the same form signed by the original Owners.

 

14.5. Transfer to a Corporation or Other Entity . We will consent to the assignment of this Agreement to a corporation, partnership or limited liability corporation that you form for the convenience of ownership, provided that: (a) the entity has and will have no other business besides operating a Franchised Business (b) you satisfy the conditions in Sections 14.3.2(a), 14.3.3, 14.3.4 and 14.3.5 above; and (c) the Owners hold equity interests in the new entity in the same proportion shown on the cover page. There is no Transfer Fee for a Transfer to a corporation for convenience of ownership.

 

14.6. Transfer upon Death or Incapacity . If you or any Owner dies, becomes incapacitated, or enters bankruptcy proceedings, that person’s executor, administrator, personal representative, or trustee must apply to us in writing within three (3) months after the event (death, declaration of incapacity, or filing of a bankruptcy petition) for consent to Transfer the person’s interest. The Transfer will be subject to the provisions of Sections 14.2 through 14.8, as applicable, except there will be no Transfer Fee. In addition, if the deceased or incapacitated person is the Operating Principal, you must within 30 days thereafter, hire and retain a replacement, who is satisfactory to us, to perform such obligations. If a satisfactory replacement is not retained, we will have the right (but not the obligation) to take over operation of the Franchised Business, or to hire and retain a replacement on your behalf, until the Transfer is completed and to charge a reasonable management fee for these services. For purposes of this Section, “incapacity” means any physical or mental infirmity that will prevent the person from performing his or her obligations under this Agreement: (i) for a period of thirty (30) or more consecutive days; or (ii) for sixty (60) or more total days during a calendar year. In the case of Transfer by bequest or by intestate succession, if the heirs or beneficiaries are unable to meet the conditions of Section 14.3, the executor may transfer the decedent’s interest to another successor that we have approved, subject to all of the terms and conditions for Transfers contained in this Agreement. If an interest is not disposed of under this Section 14.6 within six (6) months after the date of death or appointment of a personal representative or trustee, we may terminate this Agreement under Section 15.2 below.

 

  Page 28 of 39

 

 

14.7. Non-Conforming Transfers . Any purported Transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 14 is null and void and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, for which we may terminate this Agreement without opportunity to cure. Our consent to a Transfer does not constitute a waiver of any claims that we have against the transferor, nor is it a waiver of our right to demand exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

14.8. Our Right of First Refusal . We have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice specified in Section 14.2, to send written notice to you that we intend to purchase the interest proposed to be Transferred. We may assign our right of first refusal to someone else either before or after we exercise it. However, our right of first refusal will not apply with regard to a Transfer under Section 14.5 or a Transfer to your parents, spouse, son, daughter, or mother or father in-law (including Transfers to your parents, spouse, son, daughter, or mother or father in-law as a result of death or incapacity as described in Section 14.6).

 

14.8.1. If the Transfer is proposed to be made pursuant to a sale, we or our designee may purchase the interest proposed to be Transferred on the same economic terms and conditions offered by the third-party. Closing on our purchase must occur by the later of (a) 60 days after the date of our notice to the seller electing to purchase the interest, or (b) the closing date as proposed in the third-party’s purchase offer. If we cannot reasonably be expected to furnish the same consideration as the third-party, then we may substitute the reasonable equivalent in cash. If the parties cannot agree within 30 days on the reasonable equivalent in cash, we will designate, at our expense, an independent appraiser and the appraiser’s determination will be final. Any material change in the terms of the offer from a third-party after we have elected not to purchase the seller’s interest will constitute a new offer subject to the same right of first refusal as the third party’s initial offer.

 

14.8.2. If a Transfer is proposed to be made by gift, we will designate, at our expense, an independent appraiser to determine the fair market value of the interest proposed to be transferred. We may purchase the interest at the fair market value determined by the appraiser. Closing on the purchase will occur within 30 days after our notice to the transferor of the appraiser’s determination of fair market value.

 

14.8.3. If we elect not to exercise our rights under this Section, the transferor may complete the Transfer after complying with Sections 14.2 through 14.6 above. Closing of the Transfer must occur within 60 calendar days of our election (or such longer period as applicable law may require); otherwise, the third-party’s offer will be treated as a new offer subject to our right of first refusal. The Transfer is conditional upon our determination that the Transfer was on terms substantially the same as those offered to us.

 

15. TERMINATION

 

15.1. Termination By Us Without Notice . You will be in default under this Agreement and all rights granted by this Agreement will automatically terminate without notice to you if you become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of your creditors; if a receiver is appointed; if execution is levied against your business assets; or if suit to foreclose any lien or mortgage or bankruptcy is instituted against you and not dismissed within 60 days.

If, however, through no fault of you, the Premises are damaged or destroyed by an event such that repairs or reconstruction cannot be completed within ninety (90) days thereafter, you will have thirty (30) days after such event in which to apply for our approval to relocate and/or reconstruct the premises, and we will not unreasonably hold our approval.

15.3. Termination by Us Following Expiration of Cure Period for Monetary Default . You will be in default under this Agreement if you fail, refuse, or neglect to pay when due (including if we are not able to collect payments by electronic fund transfer pursuant to Section 3.6 due to insufficient funds in your account(s), closure of your account(s), or any other reason resulting in the nonpayment) any monies owing to us, our affiliates, or any lender that has provided financing to you under this Agreement or any other agreement, or to your landlord and/or any supplier of goods or services to your Franchised Business. You will have ten (10) days after written notice of such default from us within which to remedy the default. You may avoid termination by curing the default to our satisfaction within the 10-day period (or such longer period as applicable law may require). If you do not cure the default within such 10-day period (or such longer period as applicable law may require), this Agreement will terminate automatically and without further notice, effective immediately upon the expiration of the specified time period.

 

15.4 Termination by Us Following Expiration of Cure Period . For any default not covered under Sections 15.1, 15.2, or 15.3 above, you will have thirty (30) days after written notice of default from us within which to remedy the default. You may avoid termination by curing the default to our satisfaction within the 30-day period (or such longer period as applicable law may require). If you do not cure the default within the specified time, this Agreement will terminate automatically and without further notice, effective immediately upon the expiration of the specified time period. Any failure to comply with this Agreement, as amended or reasonably supplemented by the Manual or otherwise in writing, not covered by Sections 15.1, 15.2, or 15.3 above constitutes a default, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

15.3.1. You fail, refuse, or neglect to submit to us the financial and other reports and information required under this Agreement.

15.3.5. You misuse or make any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Marks or otherwise materially impair our goodwill or rights in the Proprietary Marks.

 

15.5. Cross-Default. Any default by you (including for this purpose your affiliates) under any other agreement with us will constitute a default under this Agreement, subject to the same provisions for notice and cure, if any, as may be applicable to the default under the other agreement.

16.1.1. You agree to promptly pay all sums owing to us, our affiliates and suppliers, including, but not limited to, Royalty payments, contributions to the Marketing Fund, or other fees, damages, expenses, and attorney’s fees incurred as a result of your default.

 

  Page 31 of 39

 

 

16.1.2. You agree to stop making any use of the confidential methods, procedures, and techniques associated with the System. You also agree to immediately deliver to us the Manual and all training materials, marketing materials, records, files, forms, instructions, signs, equipment, correspondence, copies, Customer Data, and other property in your possession or control that contain confidential information (as defined in Section 12) or that bear the Proprietary Marks and you agree not to retain any unauthorized copies of these materials. You also must deliver to us all customer information that you have compiled.

 

16.1.3. You agree to immediately cease to use, by advertising or in any other manner, the name “Pizza Fusion,” all other Proprietary Marks, and all other distinctive forms, slogans, signs, symbols, Websites, domain name, website, e-mail address, and any other identifier (whether or not we have authorized its use) that you used in connection with your operation of the Franchised Business or that are otherwise associated with the Proprietary Marks, System, and/or us. If you subsequently begin to operate another business, you agree that you will not use any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable imitation of the Proprietary Marks that you used either in connection with the Franchised Business or its promotion, which is likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception, or which is likely to dilute our exclusive rights in and to the Proprietary Marks, nor any trade dress or designation of origin or description or representation which falsely suggests or represents an association or connection with us.

 

16.1.4. You agree to promptly take such action as may be necessary to cancel any assumed name registration or equivalent registration containing the name Pizza Fusion or any other Proprietary Marks.

 

16.1.5 You will, at our option, assign to us any interest which you have in the lease or sublease for the Premises.

 

(a) If we do not elect or are unable to exercise our option to acquire, or to acquire the lease or sublease for the Premises, you must make such modifications or alterations to the premises operated hereunder (including, without limitation, the changing of the telephone number) immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement as may be necessary to distinguish the appearance of the Premises from that of other Restaurants under the System, and such specific additional changes as we may reasonably request for that purpose. In addition, you must stop making any use of any telephone number and/or any domain name, website, e-mail address, and any other identifier (whether or not we have authorized its use) that you used in connection with your operation of the Franchised Business, and you must promptly execute such documents or take such steps necessary to remove reference to the Franchised Business from all trade or business telephone directories, including physical and online “yellow” and “white” pages, or at our request transfer same to us.

 

(b) If you fail or refuse to comply with the requirements of this Section 16.1.5, we will have the right to enter upon the Premises, without being guilty of trespass or any other tort, for the purpose of making or causing to be made such changes as may be required, at your expense, which you agree to pay upon demand.

 

16.2. Purchase of Assets. You agree that, at our option, you will sell to us any or all your assets used to operate the Franchised Business (including equipment, fixtures, furnishings, Delivery Vehicles, supplies, and inventory) that we ask in writing to purchase.

 

16.2.1 . The purchase price for such items will be equal to your depreciated cost (determined below) or fair market value, whichever is less. The cost will be determined based upon a five (5) year straight-line depreciation of original costs. For equipment that is five (5) or more years old, the parties agree that fair market value will be deemed to be ten percent (10%) of the equipment’s original cost. The fair market value of tangible assets must be determined without reference to good will, going-concern value, or other intangible assets.

 

  Page 32 of 39

 

 

16.2.2 . We may exercise this option by delivering a notice of intent to purchase to you within 30 days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. During that 30-day period, you agree not to dispose of, transfer, or otherwise hinder our ability to exercise our rights with respect to your assets.

 

16.2.3. If we exercise our option to purchase, we may setoff all amounts due to us under this Agreement and the cost of the appraisal (if any), against any payment due to you.

 

16.2.4. If we do not exercise our rights to purchase your Delivery Vehicle(s), you must immediately make such modifications or alterations to the Delivery Vehicle(s) that may be needed to remove any Proprietary Marks and to otherwise distinguish the appearance of the vehicle(s) from those used by other Restaurants.

 

16.3. Right to Enter and Continue Operations. In order to preserve the goodwill of the System following termination, we (or our designee) have the right to enter the Premises (without liability to you, your Owners, or otherwise) for the purpose continuing the Franchised Business’ operation and maintaining the goodwill of the business.

 

16.4. Liquidated Damages. If this Agreement is terminated due to your default, you must, upon written demand, pay us a lump-sum payment in an amount calculated as follows: (a) the average of your Royalty fees and Advertising Contributions due for the last 60 months before our delivery of notice of default (or, if lesser, the months you had been operating before our delivery of notice of default), (b) multiplied by the lesser of 60 or the number of months remaining in the term of this Agreement.

 

16.5 . Liquidated Damages .

 

16.5.1 The payments called for in Section 16.4 above constitute liquidated damages for causing the premature termination of this Agreement and not a penalty. A precise calculation of the full extent of damages that we will incur if this Agreement terminates because you default cannot be reasonably determined. Nevertheless, the parties agree that the lump-sum payment provided under Section 16.4 above is reasonable in light of the damages for premature termination that may reasonably be expected to occur in such event.

 

16.5.2 The amounts contemplated under Section 16.4 above is not a penalty and is intended by the parties only as a compensatory remedy for past breaches and not as a preventative remedy to deter future breaches. Neither does the sum contemplated in Section 16.4 above represent a price for the privilege of not performing or its payment represent an alternative manner of performance. Accordingly, as a purely liquidated damage provision, this Section does not preclude, nor is inconsistent with, a court granting us specific performance or any other equitable remedies, such as an injunction, to prevent future breaches. Our rights to liquidated damages and specific performance or any other equitable relief are not mutually exclusive.

 

16.6. Enforcement Costs. You agree to pay all damages, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, that we incur (even if after the expiration or termination of this Agreement) in enforcing this Section 16 or Section 17.2 below.

 

17. RESTRICTIONS ON COMPETITION

You must also require and obtain execution of covenants similar to those set forth in Section 12 above, and this Section 17 (as modified to apply to an individual), from any or all of the following persons: your officers, directors, and their respective spouses and employees. (These persons and the Owners are each a “ Restricted Party ”) The covenants required by this Section 17.3 shall be in the form provided in Appendix C to this Agreement. Failure by Franchisee to obtain execution of a covenant required by this Section 17.3 shall constitute a default under Section 15.2.13 above.

 

17.4. Indirect Violations Prohibited . You may not attempt to circumvent the restrictions in Sections 17.1 and 17.2 by engaging in prohibited activity indirectly through any other person or entity.

 

17.5. Enforcement . You agree that the existence of any claim you may have against us, whether or not arising from this Agreement, will not constitute a defense to our enforcement of this Section 17. You agree to pay all costs and expenses that we reasonably incur in enforcing this Section 17, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. You acknowledge that a violation of the terms of this Section 17 would result in irreparable injury to us for which no adequate remedy at law may be available. Accordingly, you consent to the issuance of an injunction prohibiting any conduct in violation of the terms of this Section 17. Such injunctive relief will be in addition to any other remedies that we may have.

 

18. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

 

This Agreement does not create a fiduciary or other special relationship or make you or us an agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant of each other for any purpose.

With respect to any threatened or actual litigation, proceeding, or dispute that could directly or indirectly affect us or any of the other indemnitees under this Section, if you do not assume the active defense of the matter within a reasonable time, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to: (i) choose counsel; (ii) direct and control the handling of the matter; and (iii) settle any claim against the indemnitees.

20.2. Waivers .

Our waiver of any particular default does not affect or impair our rights with respect to any subsequent default you may commit. Our waiver of a default by another franchisee does not affect or impair our right to demand your strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Our acceptance of any payments due from you does not waive any prior defaults.

23. CONSTRUCTION OF THE AGREEMENT, SEVERABILITY, AND SURVIVAL

 

23.1. Clauses are Severable. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from the others. If, for any reason, any provision is determined by a court to be invalid, the invalidity will not impair the operation of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The latter will continue to be given full force and effect and bind us and you.

 

23.2. Survival of Clauses . Each provision of this Agreement that expressly or by reasonable implication is to be performed, in whole or in part, after the expiration, termination, or Transfer of this Agreement will survive such expiration, termination, or Transfer.

 

23.3 Force Majeure. If the performance of any obligation by any party under this Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed by reason of Force Majeure, which cannot be overcome by reasonable commercial measures, then the parties shall be relieved of their respective obligations (but only to the extent, that the parties, having exercised best efforts, are prevented, hindered or delayed in such performance) during the period of such Force Majeure. The party whose performance is affected by an event of Force Majeure shall give prompt written notice in the circumstances of such Force Majeure event to the other party by describing the nature of the event and an estimate as to its duration, if possible. As used in this Agreement, the term “ Force Majeure ” means any act of God, strike, lock out or other industrial disturbance, terrorist act, war (declared or undeclared), riot, epidemic, fire or other catastrophe, or act of any government. However, your inability to obtain financing or make payments (regardless of the reason) does not constitute “Force Majeure.”

 

23.4 Cover Page, Recitals, and Captions . The parties agree to incorporate by reference, and include in the text of this Agreement, the information on the cover page and in the recital paragraphs.

The Guarantors waive notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for contribution or payment by the Company and agree to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.

 

2. Indemnity

 

The Guarantors agree to hold harmless and indemnify Franchisor its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, and employees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable costs of investigation, and court costs) resulting from, consisting of, or arising out of or in connection with any failure by the Company to perform any Obligation.

 

3. Duration

 

This Guarantee shall terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement. However, all liabilities of the Guarantors arising from events which occurred on or before the effective date of termination shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied or discharged by the Guarantors.

If this Lease shall be terminated, as provided in this Paragraph:

 

A. Right to Re-Enter. The Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter and resume possession of the Leased Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by a suitable action or proceeding at law or in equity, or by force or otherwise, without being liable for any damages therefor. No re-entry by the Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease.

 

B. Right to Re-let. The Landlord may relet the whole or any part of the Leased Premises for a period equal to, or greater or less than, the remainder of the then term of this Lease, at such rental and upon such terms and conditions as the Landlord shall deem reasonable, to any Tenant or Tenants which it may deem suitable and satisfactory and for any use and purpose which it may deem appropriate. In no event shall the Landlord be liable in any respect for failure to collect the rent thereunder. Any sums received by the Landlord on a reletting in excess of the rent reserved in this Lease shall belong to the Landlord.

 

C. Additional Remedies. If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in this paragraph, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, and whether or not the Leased Premises shall be relet, upon Tenant’s default and the termination of this Lease as aforesaid, all Base Rent, all Additional Rent and any other charges and assessments against Tenant due or to become due under this Lease as if the same had not been terminated, shall immediately become due and payable. It is expressly agreed that the forbearance on the part of the Landlord in the institution of any suit or entry of judgment for any part of the rent herein reserved to the Landlord shall in no way serve as a defense against nor prejudice a subsequent action for such rent. In addition to the monies due set forth above Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from the Tenant, and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord i) an amount equal to all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (including appeals) incurred by the Landlord in recovering possession of the Leased Premises, and ii) all reasonable costs and charges for the care of the Leased Premises while vacant, and iii) an amount equal to all expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with the reletting of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, including broker’s commissions, advertising expenses, and the cost of repairing, renovating or remodeling the Leased Premises, which amounts shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord at such times as the expenses, costs and charges shall have been incurred.

 

  10  

 

 

D. The Landlord, at its election, which shall be exercised by the service of a written notice on the Tenant, may collect from the Tenant and Tenant shall pay, in lieu of the sum becoming due after the service of such notice under the provisions of subparagraph 2 or subparagraph C, an amount equal to the difference between the minimum rent, additional rent, and other charges required to be paid by the Tenant under this Lease (from the date of the service of such notice to and including the date of the expiration of the term of this Lease which has been in force immediately prior to any termination affected under this paragraph), and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period, discounted to the date of the service of such notice at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. In determining the rental value of the Leased Premises, the rental realized by any reletting shall be deemed prima facie evidence thereof.

 

E. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry summary proceedings, and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

23. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

 

The prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and costs of appeals at trial or appellate levels (whether or not litigation is filed) incurred enforcing the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease, and the non prevailing party shall pay such sums on demand of prevailing party.

 

24. LANDLORD’S LIEN.

In the event of a default under this Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law, all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to sell the property described in this paragraph at public or private sale upon five (5) days notice to Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees to execute such financing statements and other instruments necessary or desirable in Landlord’s discretion to perfect the security interest hereby created. Any statutory lien for rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto.

 

25. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION.

 

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

 

  11  

 

 

26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

 

This Lease and the Exhibits (and Rider, if any), attached hereto and forming a part hereof, set forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Leased Premises and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them other than as set forth herein. Except as herein or otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced in writing and signed by them.

 

27. FORCE MAJEURE.

 

In the event either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performing of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war, act of God, or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this paragraph shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of rent, percentage rent, additional rent or any other payments required herein.

 

The use and occupation by the Tenant of the Leased Premises shall include the use in common with others entitled thereto of the common areas, employees’ parking areas, service roads, sidewalks and customer car parking areas, hallways, stairwells, elevators, and other facilities as may be designated from time to time by the Landlord, subject, however, to the terms by any terms of this Lease.

 

28. NOTICES.

29. INTERPRETATION.

 

The laws of the State of Florida shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease. It is agreed that if any provision of this Lease shall be determined to be void by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, all of which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

 

30. NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD

 

It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Lease contains all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions relating to the leasing of the Leased Premises, and that the Landlord has not made and is not making, and the Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon any warranties, representations, promises, or statements, except to the extent that the same may expressly be set forth in this Lease. Any monies owed to Landlord pursuant to any prior or subsequent lease or loan, if any, for this or any other property or purpose between the parties shall remain due and owing, and the same are hereby designated as “additional rent” hereunder.

 

31. NO WAIVER.

 

The failure of the Landlord to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions of this Lease or to exercise any election herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by the Landlord of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the Landlord. No surrender of the Leased Premises or of any remainder of the term of this Lease shall be valid unless accepted by the Landlord in writing. The receipt and retention by the Landlord of rent or additional rent from anyone other than the Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of the breach by the Tenant of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained. The receipt and retention by the Landlord of rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The taking of possession of the Leased Premises by the Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that Tenant accepts same “AS IS” and that said Leased Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken and that Landlord has complied in all respects with any requirements set forth in this Lease. If the term “Tenant,” as used herein, refers to more than one person, the Landlord may treat any breach of this Lease by one of such persons as a breach by all.

 

  12  

 

 

32. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

33. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.

If Tenant vacates the premises without providing proper written notice, Tenant forfeits all security deposits and last month’s rent in addition to any other claims Landlord has against Tenant. If the Tenant shall occupy said Leased Premises, with the consent of the Landlord, after the expiration of this Lease, and rent is accepted from said Tenant, such occupancy and payment shall be construed as an extension of this Lease for the term of one (l) month only from the date of such expiration. In such event, if Tenant desires to terminate said occupancy at the end of any month, the Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice. In the event the Tenant fails to give such notice, Tenant shall be obligated to pay rent for an additional calendar month following the month in which Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises.

 

If such occupancy continues without the consent of the Landlord, Tenant shall pay the Landlord, double the amount of rent specified in this Lease for the time Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof after termination of the term by lapse of time or otherwise.

 

36. CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

 

Tenant and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in the following sentence, the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants and agreements of this Lease are to remain confidential for Landlord’s benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant or Guarantor to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence to the contrary, Tenant and/or Guarantor shall have the right to disclose the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants and agreements of this Lease to their respective attorneys, accountants, lenders and any potential assignee of this Lease or subtenant of the Premises.

In the event that the Tenant fails to satisfy or transfer such claim within said ten (10) day period, the Landlord may do so and thereafter charge the Tenant, as additional rent, all costs incurred by the Landlord in connection with satisfaction or transfer of such claim, including attorneys’ fees.

41. WAIVER.

 

LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM INVOLVING ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (i) THIS LEASE, (ii) THE LEASED PREMISES, (iii) TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE LEASED PREMISES, OR, (iv) THE RIGHT TO ANY STATUTORY RELIEF OR REMEDY.

“RADON GAS” - Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.
