(A)

Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2021.

It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, the Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept (“Your Hometown Deli”). The Company intends that its delicatessens will feature “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual friendly atmosphere, designed to be comfortable community gathering places for guests of all ages. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first and only store is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC was formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Hometown International, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a merger of entities under common control and has been treated as a recapitalization of Hometown International, Inc. with Your Hometown Deli, LLC, as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the registrant. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 5,000,000 shares issued to the shareholder of Your Hometown Deli, LLC, in conjunction with the share exchange transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods.

The Company was forced to temporarily close the delicatessen due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey on March 9, 2020, resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19. The delicatessen was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a “soft opening” to a limited audience, prior to its “Grand Re-Opening” to the public on September 22, 2020. The temporary closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on the Company’s business during 2020. It is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business in 2021.

Going forward, the Company intends to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. The Company has no particular business combination in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such a combination.

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which is the year end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.

Principles of Consolidation

(B) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying March 31, 2021 and 2020 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hometown International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

(C) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in-kind contribution of service, valuation of deferred tax assets and operating lease assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Loss Per Share

(E) Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period”. For March 31, 2021 and 2020, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

	March 31, 2021		March 31, 2020
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Class A Warrants (Exercise price - $1.25/share)		38,985,020		-
Class B Warrants (Exercise price - $1.50/share)		38,985,020		-
Class C Warrants (Exercise price - $1.75/share)		38,985,020		-
Class D Warrants (Exercise price - $2.00/share)		38,985,020		-

Total		155,940,080		-

Income Taxes

(F) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Property and Equipment

(G) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment is put into service.

Revenue Recognition

(H) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The standard states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenues from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

	●	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	●	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

	●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
