RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to our Business

Our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurances that we will ever be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital and no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for each of the two years then ended includes an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our recurring losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit,

Our financial condition and results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, was first reported and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. To date, this outbreak has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world, and as the pandemic continues to spread, particularly in the United States, businesses as well as federal, state and local governments have implemented significant actions to attempt to mitigate this public health crisis. As a result, on March 23, 2020, we were forced to temporarily close our 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, However, on September 8, 2020, the delicatessen was reopened for business. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even now that the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will able tp generate sufficient revenues. The further spread of COVID-19, and the requirements to take action to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, will impact our ability to carry out our business as usual and may materially adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Even now that we have reopened our store, we might be subject to modified hours and conditions. Moreover, should New Jersey fail to fully contain COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19 relapse, the market for our deli may not recover quickly or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As a result, we may incur additional impairment charges to our inventory, store and corporate assets, any of which may have a significant or material impact on our financial results. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the scope and duration of actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. While such actions may be relaxed or rolled back if and when the pandemic abates, the actions may be reinstated as it continues to evolve. The scope and timing of any such reinstatements are difficult to predict and may materially affect our future operations.

Economic conditions in the United States could adversely affect our business and financial results.

As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in or uncertainty about macro-economic conditions. Our customers may have less money for discretionary purchases and may stop or reduce their purchases of our products or trade down to competitors’ lower priced foods as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, increased fuel and energy costs, higher interest rates, inflation, higher taxes, reduced access to credit, economic uncertainty and potential negative impacts relating to federal economic policy changes and recent international trade disputes. These factors may also result in a general downturn in the restaurant industry. Decreases in customer traffic and/or average value per transaction will negatively impact our financial performance as reduced revenues without a corresponding decrease in expenses result in sales de-leveraging, which creates downward pressure on margins and also negatively impacts net revenues, operating income and earnings per share. There is also a risk that if negative economic conditions or uncertainty persist for a long period of time or worsen, consumers may make long-lasting changes to their discretionary purchasing behavior, including less frequent discretionary purchases on a more permanent basis.

If our business plans are not successful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and our shareholders may lose their entire investment in us.

On March 23, 2020, we were forced to temporarily closed 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, However, on September 8, 2020, the delicatessen was reopened for business. Even though the order has been lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There will be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues. We expect our growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 once we resume our delicatessen operations.

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We do not have any agreement for a business combination or other transaction.

We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that future funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.

Future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.

The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company. While business combinations with entities having established operating histories are preferred, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. The decision to enter into a business combination will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys or similar information which, if we had more funds available to it, would be desirable. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will identify a target company and consummate a business combination.

There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger or combination transaction of the type contemplated by management.

We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do. Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.

We have not conducted market research to identify business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.

We have neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market research concerning prospective business opportunities. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.

Although management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company, which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our Chairman intends to devote his full business time to seeking a target company.

While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting very limited time to our affairs in total. However, Peter Coker, Jr., our Chairman, intends to devote his full time to seeking a business combination for the Company. Neither Mr. Coker nor any of our officers have entered into any written employment agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination. We are dependent on the services of our management to obtain the additional capital required to implement our business plan and for investigating, negotiating and integrating potential acquisition opportunities. The loss of services of our officers could have a substantial adverse effect on us. The expansion of our business will be largely contingent on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified corporate and operations level management team. We cannot assure you that we will find suitable management personnel or will have financial resources to attract or retain such people if found.

The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.

Target companies that are private or that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited consolidated financial statements for the company acquired. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition.

Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.

If we enter into a business combination with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.

We may need to raise additional capital to consummate a merger or business combination. If our outstanding warrants operations do not produce the necessary cash needed, or if we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors.

There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to reduce or cease our activities with consequent loss to investors. In addition, should we incur significant presently unforeseen expenses or delays, we may not be able to accomplish our goals.

Our shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination.

We might consummate a business combination without obtaining shareholder approval of such transaction. Although a business combination might be structured so that obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such purpose would be a condition to closing, it is possible that we will consummate a business combination without the need for obtaining such approval. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or not will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the structure of the transaction, the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval.

Our failure to adopt certain corporate governance procedures may prevent us from obtaining a listing on a national securities exchange.

We do not have an audit, compensation or nominating and corporate governance committee. The functions such committees would perform are performed by the board as a whole. Consequently, there is a potential conflict of interest in board decisions that may adversely affect our ability to become a listed security on a national securities exchange and as a result adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Although the selling shareholders are selling their shares at a fixed price of $6.50 until the shares are quoted or listed, there is a significant amount of volatility with respect to said price.

In the last private placement, we sold our shares at $1.00 per share. As of September 21, 2020, our stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market at a price of $9.50. We currently have an aggregate of 155,940,080 warrants outstanding, all of which are exercisable at prices significantly below the fixed price of the shares being offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. During the first quarter of this year, we repurchased our shares at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly, there is a significant amount of volatility with respect to the fixed price of $6.50 that the selling shareholders are offering their shares.

Since we are traded on the OTC Pink Market, an active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained. If and when an active market develops the price of our common stock may be volatile.

Presently, our common stock is traded on the OTC pink sheets. Presently there is limited trading in our stock and in the absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited, and a lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares.

Trading in stocks quoted on the Pink Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock. Moreover, the pink sheets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a national stock exchange like the NYSE. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any shares of common stock.

There is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our shareholders, which means that you could receive little or no return on your investment.

Payment of dividends from our earnings and profits may be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors. There is no assurance that we will generate any distributable cash from operations.  Our board may elect to retain cash for operating purposes, debt retirement, or some other purpose. Consequently, you may receive little or no return on your investment.

Our shares will be subordinate to all of our debts and liabilities, which increases the risk that you could lose your entire investment.

Our shares are equity interests that will be subordinate to all of our current and future indebtedness with respect to claims on our assets. In any liquidation, all of our debts and liabilities must be paid before any payment is made to our shareholders. The amount of any debt financing we incur creates a substantial risk that in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, we may have no assets remaining for distribution to our shareholders after payment of our debts.

There is a limited public market for our Common Stock.

There is currently a limited public market for the common stock. Holders of our common stock may, therefore, have difficulty selling their common stock, should they decide to do so. In addition, there can be no assurances that such markets will continue or that any shares of common stock will be able to be sold without incurring a loss. Any such market price of the common stock may not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value, and may not be indicative of the market price for the common stock in the future. Further, the market price for the common stock may be volatile depending on a number of factors, including business performance, industry dynamics, news announcements or changes in general.

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of capital stock. We have an aggregate of 155,940,080 warrants issued and outstanding which are all currently exercisable. The future issuance of common stock will result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDENDS

Market Price for our Common Stock

There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “HWIN”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

OTC Pink securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Pink securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Pink issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Pink on May 9, 2019. Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Holders

As of September 22, 2020, there were 52 holders of record of our Common Stock. The number of record holders does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Developments

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

On March 23, 2020, we were 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. Although we reopened the delicatessen on September 8, 2020, the temporarily closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our business. There will be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues. We are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations.

Corporate Developments

On December 31, 2019, each of Paul F. Morina and Christine T. Lindenmuth, the principal officers and directors and majority shareholders of the Company, entered into separate Stock Purchase Agreements with Peter L. Coker, Jr., which provided for the sale by each of them of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The consideration paid for the shares, which represented approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, was an aggregate of $3,000.

On February 1, 2020, Christine Lindenmuth, an officer and director of the Company, granted Peter L. Coker, Jr., Chairman of our Board, an option to purchase all of her 1,500,000 shares in the Company for $500. On March 19, 2020, Mr. Coker exercised the option and paid Ms. Lindenmuth $1,500 for the 1,500,000 shares. Mr. Coker simultaneously sold all of the 1,500,00 shares to three separate purchasers.

On February 17, 2020, Mr. Coker was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

On March 18, 2020 the Company repurchased an aggregate of 38,336 shares of the Company’s common stock from a total of 11 shareholders, at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

On March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to the shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020, which was then extended to April 15, 2020. As of such date, the Company send each shareholder of record (i) five Class A Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, (ii) five Class B Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (iii) five Class C Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and (iv) five Class D Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company issued an aggregate of 155,940,080 Warrants. The Warrants include antidilution provisions and other rights, which are contained in all the Warrants. In addition to the customary antidilution adjustment for stock splits and reclassifications, if at any time the Company issues rights to purchase shares pro rata to all of its the shareholders, then the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to such rights. The holders of the Warrant shall also be entitled to dividends paid to the Company’s shareholders as if the holders had exercised the Warrants. Moreover, until the Company’s common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants then in effect, then simultaneously with the consummation of each such issuance, the exercise price of the Warrants shall be reduced to equal such lower price. In addition, the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to all notices as if said holders were holders of the common stock of the Company. To date none of the Warrants have been exercised.

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada increasing the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.

Effective as of May 1, 2020, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Tryon Capital Ventures LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Tryon”) which is 50% owned by the father of Mr. Coker, our Chairman of the Board, primarily to advise management on the operation of our existing delicatessen business and the requirements related to being a public company. The term of the Tryon Consulting Agreement is one year; provided, however, that each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other. Pursuant to the Tryon Consulting Agreement, Tryon shall receive $15,000 per month during the term of the agreement, in addition to reimbursement of expenses approved in advance by the Company.

Pursuant to the Tryon Consulting Agreement, Tryon was engaged as a consultant to the Company, to, among other things, support in the research, development, and analysis of product, financial and strategic matters, and to perform such other necessary and appropriate duties that are, from time to time, delegated by one or more officers of the Company, including, but not limited to, the provision of the following services to the Company during the term of this Agreement:

It is anticipated that we will require the services of Tryon Capital to assist in the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, if /when presented, along with the drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments.

Effective as of May 1, 2020, we also entered into a Consulting Agreement with VCH Limited, a company formed under the laws of Macau (“VCH”) which beneficially owns in excess of 10% of our common stock. Pursuant to this VCH Consulting agreement, VCH was engaged as a consultant to the Company, primarily to create and build a presence with high net worth and institutional investors and advise management on evaluating other lines of business that may be beneficial to the Company’s shareholders. The term of the agreement is one year; provided, however, that each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other. Pursuant to the agreement, VCH shall receive $25,000 per month during the term of the agreement, in addition to reimbursement of expenses approved in advance by the Company.

Pursuant to the VCH Consulting Agreement, VCH was engaged as a consultant to the Company, to, among other things work closely with the Company’s Chairman to create and build a presence with high net worth and institutional investors, to act in such capacity and to provide the resources, guidance, feedback, advise and counsel in connection with the future PR/IR of the company with respect to both the buy and sell side of Wall Street. This includes introducing institutional and individual investors and bankers/analysts to the company via calls/meetings/webinars, etc

In addition, in our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, VCH will help management evaluate new business opportunities by considering the following factors:

Private Placement

On April 14, 2020, we consummated private offers and sales (collectively, the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash proceeds of $2,500,000 to three investors, Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A, to Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A, STAR V Partners LLC and Maso Capital Investments Limited. These investors are also Selling Shareholders with respect to an aggregate of 1,500,000 of the purchased shares. In addition to customary representations and warranties made by the parties in the Private Placement documents, the Company agreed to discuss with these investors, at least on a quarterly basis, and in advance of any consideration taken by the Company, of its current plans to list on a national securities exchange. The Company also agreed not to take certain actions without the express written consent of one of such investors, including any change in management or to the board of directors, change the Company’s independent public accountant, incurrence of any expense over $50,000, or any other material action. The Company further agreed to maintain its corporate existence and not sell all or substantially all of its assets, except when the surviving entity is a publicly traded entity which assumes the Company’s obligations under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with the three investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants they received.

The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from the Offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and for general corporate purposes.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed that no later than 20 calendar days after it receives notice from at least two-thirds of the investors, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares issued in the Private Placement, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants received by the three investors. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such registration statement is declared effective within 60 calendar days of filing with the SEC, or 90 days in the event of a full review by the SEC. If the Company is late in filing the registration statement, or if the registration statement is not declared effective on a timely basis, the Company will be required to pay these three investors, who are also included as selling shareholders in this prospectus, liquidated damages at a rate equal to 1% of the purchase price for each full month the registration requirements have not been satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of any such liquidated damages exceed 10% of the total purchase price. The Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the expiration of the Warrants, or until Rule 144 is available.

On April 22, 2020, the Company received a demand letter from the investors pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement requesting that the Company register the Common Stock and the warrants owned by the three investors in a registration statement. On May 6, 2020, the three investors consented to a waiver of all the securities being registered to only include the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. On June 4, 2020, the three investors consented to a second waiver and agreed to include only 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the investors.

Going forward, we intend 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. Our objectives discussed below are extremely general and are not intended to restrict discretion of our Board of Directors to search for and enter into potential business opportunities or to reject any such opportunities. We have no particular business combination in mind and have not entered into any negotiations regarding such a combination. Neither our officers nor any of our affiliates has engaged in any negotiations with any representative of any company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or combination between our company and such other company. We have not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction.

We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Further, we may acquire or combine with a venture that is in its preliminary or early stages of development, one that is already in operation or one that is in a more mature stage of its corporate existence. Accordingly, business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our executive officers and directors, none of whom is a business analyst. Therefore, it is anticipated that outside consultants or advisors may be utilized to assist us in the search for and analysis of qualified target companies.

A decision to participate or not in a specific business opportunity will be made based upon our analysis of the quality of the prospective business opportunity’s management and personnel, its assets, the anticipated acceptability of products or marketing concepts, the merit of a proposed business plan and numerous other factors that are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze using any objective criteria. We have unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities.

In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following kinds of factors:

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data.

Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, licensing agreement or other arrangement with another entity. We also may acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction it is probable that the present management and shareholders of the company will no longer be in control of the company. In addition, some or all of our officers and directors, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, likely will be required to resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors without a vote of our shareholders.

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on that market.

While the actual terms of a transaction to which we may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition as a “tax-free” reorganization under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management are expected to focus on the percentage of our company that the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our existing shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in our company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership of our existing shareholders may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our shareholders at such time.

We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and accountants, and will include miscellaneous other terms.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in our loss of the related costs incurred.

We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to identify and consummate a transaction with a business opportunity. The primary competition will be from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, all of which may have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

The Your Hometown Deli Concept

Your Hometown Deli is a delicatessen concept that will focus on providing high-quality food products not available in local supermarkets or take-out restaurants. The delicatessen concept has a worldwide history with the term first appearing in the English language in 1889. The word “delicatessen” originates in the German language and means “delicacies” or “fine foods.” Delicatessens vary throughout the world, but in the United States a delicatessen (or “deli”) is a small retail store that is a blend of a grocery and a fast-food restaurant.

The Company’s Your Hometown Deli concept is patterned after traditional delicatessens, offering a wider and fresher menu than found at fast-food restaurants. Sandwiches and green salads are made fresh to order. Like many delis, Your Hometown Deli serves some hot foods kept on a steam table, similar to a cafeteria. In addition to ready-to-eat food, the Your Hometown Deli sells cold cuts by weight. A wide variety of beverages are also sold together with potato chips and similar products.

In addition to our food offering, newspapers, limited household items and small snack items, such as candy, cookies and chewing gums are planned to be available for purchase. Your Hometown Deli also provides take-out service and limited seating in the store.

Products

Your Hometown Deli provides sandwiches, soups, salads, deli meats/cheeses, hot/cold drinks, fresh breads/rolls and small retail items for cooking, baking, and home use. Salads include made-to-order green salads, prepared pasta, potato, chicken, or other variety of “wet” salads. Breakfast products include baked goods (breakfast pastries, bagels, toast), yogurt, and hot breakfast sandwiches. Fresh coffee, tea and other hot and cold beverages are also available for purchase.

Strategy

The Company’s business strategy is to create a food-centered social environment within the local community that offers higher-quality prepared food and ingredients than is typically found locally. The Company’s management believes that broader market trends and certain locality-specific attributes support this strategy. The average American eats out 4-5 times a week and according to the United States Department of Labor. Management of the Company believes the increased popularity of eating out in the United States is a social trend that is likely to continue in the future.

Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to our company. If we cannot obtain financing or if we determine not to proceed with our business plan, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location.

Location

The Company’s sole location is in Paulsboro, a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey that was founded in 1904. Paulsboro is located directly across the Delaware River from the city of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia airport. Your Hometown Deli is located on a property in the commercial area of downtown Paulsboro that has two buildings. The front building is the location of the new Your Hometown Deli as well as the local Conrail offices. The rear building is used throughout the week as a practice facility by the local wrestling club and other sports groups. Paulsboro has a national reputation for its wrestling activities and one of the Company’s founders is a leader in the sport of wrestling.

The borough of Paulsboro is undergoing a redevelopment phase from a petroleum products specialty port into an adaptable “OmniPort” able to handle a diversity of bulk, break bulk cargo and shipping containers. Studies completed in 2012 concluded that the port is well suited to become a center for the manufacturing, assembly, and transport of wind turbines and platforms for the development of Atlantic Wind Connection. The port is located approximately one mile from the site of the Your Hometown Deli. The Company’s management believes that hundreds of employees around the area will eventually pass the Your Hometown Deli, the only food establishment on the main commuter route to the Port.

The Market

The local Paulsboro market is small, but conducive to hosting a Your Hometown Deli. According to the 2010 United States Census, there were 6,097 people and 2,286 households residing in the borough. The median household income was $43,846. The broader Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area is the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the United States with a population to 6.53 million people.

The Company anticipates drawing customers from people living in Paulsboro and the adjacent communities of Greenwich, Clarksboro, and West Deptford, New Jersey. Commuting workers are also anticipated to be customers.

Local students and coaches who frequently use the sports practice facility on the property are another group of potential customers. The practice facility is also home to the “The Monster Factory,” a professional wrestling training and wrestling match promotions organization. In business more than 30 years, the Monster Factory has become “the world’s most famous wrestling school” and has been featured in the Rolling Stone, NewsWeek, and Wall Street Journal. The Company believes that the attendees of Monster Factory wrestling events are potential customers for Your Hometown Deli.

Local competing delicatessen concept stores include Wally’s Grocery & Deli. Other dining and grocery options in the area include locally owned pizzerias, seafood, and fine dining restaurants. Fast food options in the vicinity include McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy’s. Grocery stores include Wawa, Dollar General, Heritage’s Dairy Stores and Fair Deal Food Market.

Sales and Marketing

The Company relies heavily on word of mouth for its marketing. The Company’s founders have close ties to the community in which the first store is located and believe that these relationships will help the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. We use Facebook to describe the quality, atmosphere, products, specials, customer opinions and general information about the Your Hometown Deli’s operation. All sales and marketing messages will attempt to describe the unique character of the Your Hometown Deli and its family-oriented style and old-world feel.

Seasonality

We do not have a seasonal business cycle. However, we may offer seasonal food items or adjust our menu items depending on the seasons.

Environmental Matters

Our business currently does not implicate any environmental regulation.

Intellectual Property

We do not hold any patents, trademarks or other registered intellectual property on products relating to our business except that we have a Facebook page.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company’s principal executive office and mailing address is 25 E. Grant Street, Woodstown, NJ 08098.

On July 1, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year non-cancelable operating lease with Mantua Creek Group, LLC (“Mantua”), a related party, for the store space at 541A Mantua Ave, Paulsboro, NJ 08066 for a monthly rate of $500. The lease was extended on August 12, 2019 for an additional two-year term. Management believes that this space is adequate for its current needs.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of ours, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

As of March 23, 2020, we were 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. Although we reopened the delicatessen on September 8, 2020, the temporarily closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our business. There will be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues. We are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations.

Overview

Incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada, Hometown International, Inc. is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept.

The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first and only store is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

On April 14, 2020, we consummated a private offer and sale of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash proceeds to us of $2,500,000. The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and for general corporate purposes.

On April 15, 2020, we issued to each shareholder of record on said date: (i) five Class A Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Class A Warrants”), (ii) five Class B Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Class B Warrants”), (iii) five Class C Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Class C Warrants”), and (iv) five Class D Warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Class D Warrants”), with each warrant expiring on April 15, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company issued an aggregate of 155,940,080 Warrants. No warrants have been exercised to date.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

We generated revenue of $0 and $4,205 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in revenue is attributed to the closure of the delicatessen as a result of COVID-19. The total cost and expenses were $176,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $47,308 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in total cost and expenses is mainly attributed to $80,000 in consulting fee –related parties and $68,755 of professional fees. Increase in consulting expense was attributable to consulting agreements entered on May 1, 2020 with related parties. Increase in professional fees was attributable to legal fees required in connection with filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-1 Registration Statement. We incurred loss from operations of $176,444 and $43,103 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We incurred loss from operations of $253,806 and $79,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $2,206,756 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which is represented by $2,500,000 proceeds from issuance of common stock, $7,196 proceeds from a shareholder loan payable, $332,104 loan repayment to related party, $70,000 proceeds from note payable- related party and $38,336 and purchase of treasury stock. Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $42,551 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which is represented by $4,451 proceeds from a shareholder loan payable and $38,100 proceeds from note payable- related party.

We are dependent on the revenues from our delicatessen operations and receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations. On April 14, 2020, we consummated a private offer and sale of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for gross cash proceeds to us of $2,500,000. The Company plans to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to explore and evaluate potential merger candidates for the Company and to fund general corporate purposes. To that end, we have entered into consulting agreements with two consultants, Tryon Capital Ventures and VCH Limited, for $15,000 and $25,000 per month, respectively. We plan to use the proceeds from the private placement to pay for these obligations.

On March 23, 2020, we were 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.

On April 24, 2020, the Company fully repaid the notes payable to Peter L. Coker, Jr., our Chairman, in the principal amount of $285,126, and $46.978 of accrued interest. The loans, which were paid in full, were repaid from the proceeds of said private placement.

We reopened the delicatessen on September 8, 2020, the temporarily closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our business. We experienced a decrease in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic even before the stay-at-home order was issued. Even now that the order is lifted and the delicatessen is re-opened, we may have a slowdown in customer’s visit due to the current economic condition. There can be no assurances that we will able to generate sufficient revenues. The further spread of COVID-19, and the requirements to take action to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, will impact our ability to carry out our business as usual and may materially adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Even now that we have reopened our store, we might be subject to modified hours and conditions. Moreover, should New Jersey fail to fully contain COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19 relapse, the market for our deli may not recover quickly or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As a result, we may incur additional impairment charges to our inventory, store and corporate assets, any of which may have a significant or material impact on our financial results. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the scope and duration of actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. We are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations.

As of September 21, 2020, we had approximately $1,700,000 of cash on hand, and a cash burn rate of approximately $80,000 per month. Therefore, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to sustain its current operations for the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated 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 and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in our consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement.

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

We had a net loss of $149,341 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 compared to net loss of $108,843 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - for the years ended and as of December 31, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018

As of December 31, 2019, we had total assets of $20,788 and $492,426 in liabilities, respectively. Thus, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of $471,638 as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, we had total assets of $14,868 and $368,021 in liabilities, respectively. Thus, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of $353,153 as of December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $5,382. Operating activities used $156,671 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Financing activities provided $161,444 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.As of December 31, 2018, we had a cash balance of $609. Operating activities used $53,544 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Financing activities provided $48,812 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

On December 31, 2019, we borrowed $175,000 from Peter Coker, Jr., our Chairman of the Board. The principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at 8% per annum, is due and payable on June 30, 2020. The loan was repaid in full on April 24, 2020.

Going concern

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $156,671, has an accumulated deficit of $806,920, and has a net loss of $149,341 for the year ended December 31, 2019. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

On March 23, 2020, we were 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. As of March 30, 2020, we had $11,245 of cash on hand, and a burn rate of approximately $13,000 per month. Therefore, our independent auditors issued a going concern opinion in connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for each of the two years then ended includes an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our recurring losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit.

On September 8, 2020, the delicatessen was reopened for business. There will be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues. We are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Director Independence

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.” We do not believe that our directors currently meet the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ. 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The rights of our stockholders are be governed by Nevada law, and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws. The following briefly summarizes the material terms of our Common Stock.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.0001 and as of September 22, 2020 had 7,797,004 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Dividend Rights

The holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.

Voting Rights

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for in our articles of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of our shares of common stock voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.

Preemptive or Similar Rights

Our Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.

Liquidation Rights

Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our Common Stock outstanding at that time after payment of other claims of creditors.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

We are registering for resale by the Selling Shareholders named herein an aggregate of 2,783,637 shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding. Except as described in “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments” above or as described in the table below, the Selling Shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. The following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of September 22, 2020, by the Selling Shareholders prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the number of shares that the Selling Shareholders may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus and the number of shares which the Selling Shareholders would own beneficially if all such offered shares are sold.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 7,797,004 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 22, 2020.

None of the Selling Shareholders are a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. None of the Selling Shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates have held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. The Selling Shareholders have acquired their shares solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such securities.  

For each Selling Shareholder named below, the number indicated in the column entitled “Beneficial Ownership Before the Offering” includes the Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants, the Class C Warrants and the Class D Warrants owned by each such Selling Shareholder. The number in the column entitled “Beneficial Ownership After the Offering” assumes that all the shares of Common Stock being registered in this prospectus for said Selling Shareholder are being sold and therefore the number indicated therein represents the aggregate amount of Warrants held by such Selling Shareholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering an aggregate of 2,783,637 shares of Common Stock which are currently issued and outstanding. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders can only be sold at the fixed sale price of $6.50 per share until such time as our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, the OTCQX, the OTCQB or listed on any other national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of $6.50 per share was determined based upon the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Pink Market on June 8, 2020, the date this Registration Statement was originally filed with the Commission. The Selling Shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

If the Selling Shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The Selling Shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, including SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Hometown International, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hometown International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss, a working capital deficit, and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(A) Organization

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. 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. Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community gathering places for guests of all ages.

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

(B) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.

(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 and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(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. The Company has no common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(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.

The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 21% and state 9%) as follows:

The net deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

Gross deferred tax assets:

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $628,084 and $509,598 available to offset future taxable income through December 31, 2039. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize approximately $121,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2037 and approximately $55,000 of net operating loss carryforwards that have no expiration date.

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $33,306 and $21,922, respectively.

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2016-2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(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.

(H) Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance 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 guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

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

(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:

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in Note 7.

(K) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

(L) Inventories

Inventories consist of food and beverages, and are stated at cost of $1,044.

(M) Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. These costs are included in direct operating & occupancy expenses and totaled $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective August 12, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before August 12, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $10,426 and lease liabilities of $10,426.

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the August 12, 2019 adoption date. This rate was determined to be 10% and the Company determined the initial present value, at inception, of $10,426.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.

The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
