NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (“GIGL Inc.” or the “Company”) was originally organized on September 17, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. GIGL Inc. was organized to sell teaching supplies and learning tools. On August 20, 2010, GIGL Inc. filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name to Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. The Company is authorized to issue 1,125,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.
On December 30, 2011, GIGL Inc. completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of GNH, Inc. (“GNH”), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”). Under the SEA, GIGL Inc. issued 18,289,716 shares of its common stock in exchange for a 100% interest in GNH. Additionally under the SEA, the former officer, director and shareholders of GIGL Inc. agreed to cancel a total of 47,607,500 shares of its common stock.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of GNH by GIGL Inc. has been recorded as a reverse merger of a public company (the “Merger”), with the exception that no goodwill is generated, and followed up with a recapitalization of GNH based on the factors demonstrating that GNH represents the accounting acquirer. As part of closing of the Merger between GNH and GIGL Inc., GNH obtained 100% of the restaurant operations of Giggles N’ Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California. The restaurant operations of Giggles N’ Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California was originally formed April 30, 2010 and opened for operation December 3, 2010. Consequently, the historical financial information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is that of GNH and the restaurant operations of Giggles N’ Hugs located in Century City, California. As a result of the Merger, GIGL Inc. now owns all of the assets, liabilities and operations of a kid friendly restaurant named Giggles N’ Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California. Additionally, GIGL Inc. obtained ownership to all intellectual property rights for Giggles N’ Hugs facilities in the future.
On December 30, 2011, the transactions were completed and resulted in a change in control of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company accepted the resignation of its prior officer and director, Tracie Hadama, and appointed Mr. Joey Parsi as President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary of the Company.
The Company adopted a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal year 2013 consists of a year ending December 29, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 consists of year ending December 31, 2012. The election for fiscal year was made with the 8-K filing in October 2013.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US Dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 29, 2013 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
At September 28, 2014 the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH CC, Inc. for restaurant operations of Giggles N’ Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California, GNH Topanga, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, California, and Glendale Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. for restaurant operations in Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. At September 30, 2013, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. GNH CC, Inc. for restaurant operations of Giggles N’ Hugs in Westfield Mall in Century City, California, GNH Topanga, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, California. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc., and Glendale Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company”.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis and consist of restaurant food and other supplies.
Property and equipment
The Company records all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements include the cost of the Company’s internal development and construction department. Depreciation periods are as follows:
Leasehold improvements | 10 years |
Restaurant fixtures and equipment | 10 years |
Computer software and equipment | 3 to 5 years |
Leases
The Company currently leases its restaurant locations. The Company evaluates each lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating or capital lease for financial reporting purposes.
Minimum base rent for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The initial rent term includes the build-out, or rent holiday period, for the Company’s leases, where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Deferred rent expense, which is based on a percentage of revenue, is also recorded to the extent it exceeds minimum base rent per the lease agreement.
The Company disburses cash for leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment to build out and equip its leased premises. The Company also expends cash for structural additions that it makes to leased premises of which $590,000 was reimbursed to Century City, $489,770 was reimbursed to Topanga, and $475,000 was reimbursed to Glendale by their landlords as construction contributions pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord construction contributions usually take the form of up-front cash. Depending on the specifics of the leased space and the lease agreement, amounts paid for structural components are recorded during the construction period as leasehold improvements or the landlord construction contributions are recorded as an incentive from lessor.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company assesses potential impairment of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company regularly reviews the restaurant if it is cash flow negative for the previous four quarters to determine if impairment testing is warranted. At any given time, the Company may monitor its operations, and impairment charges could be triggered in the future if the restaurant performance does not improve.
The Company has identified leasehold improvements as the primary asset because it is the most significant component of our restaurant assets, it is the principal asset from which the Company derives cash flow generating capacity and has the longest remaining useful life. The recoverability is assessed in most cases by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by these assets. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values.
At September 28, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we did not record an impairment charge against the carrying value of the restaurants located in Century City, Topanga, and Glendale, California.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

Loss per common share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue recognition
Our revenues consist of sales from our restaurant operations and sales of memberships entitling members unlimited access to our play areas for the duration of their membership. As a general principle, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred and services have been rendered; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
With respect to memberships, access to our play area extends throughout the term of membership. The vast majority of memberships sold are for one-month terms. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the membership period. Century City, Topanga, and Glendale receive payments from its customers at the start of the subscription period and each restaurant records deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the subscription period.
Revenues from restaurant sales are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Revenues are presented net of sales taxes. The obligation is included in other accrued expenses until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
We recognize a liability upon the sale of our gift cards and recognize revenue when these gift cards are redeemed in our restaurants.
For party rental agreements, we rely upon a signed contract between us and the customer as the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Party rental deposits are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt and recognized as revenue when the service has been rendered.
Additionally, revenues are recognized net of any discounts, returns, allowances and sales incentives, including coupon redemptions and complimentary meals.
Convertible Debentures
Beneficial Conversion Feature - If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method
Recent pronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through September 28, 2014 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has recently sustained operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $6,638,795 at September 28, 2014. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $1,164,270 at September 28, 2014.
The Company has and will continue to use significant capital to grow and acquire market share. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through sales of their common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 13 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted to employees during the period ended September 28, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and the weighted-average significant assumptions used to determine those fair values, using a Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option pricing model are as follows:
September 28, 2014 | September 30, 2013 | |||||||
Significant assumptions (weighted-average): | ||||||||
Risk-free interest rate at grant date | 0.78 | % | 0.78 | % | ||||
Expected stock price volatility | 139 | % | 139 | % | ||||
Expected dividend payout | - | - | ||||||
Expected option life (in years) | 4.59 | 4.59 | ||||||
Expected forfeiture rate | - | % | - | % | ||||
Fair value per share of options granted | $ | 3.96 | $ | 3.96 |
The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company has no historical experience with which to establish a basis for determining an expected life of these awards. Therefore, the Company only gave consideration to the contractual terms and did not consider the vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures significant to the expected life of the option award.
We estimate the volatility of our common stock based on the calculated historical volatility of similar entities in industry, in size and in financial leverage whose share prices are publicly available. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
There were no options granted during the quarter ended September 28, 2014.
There were no stock-based compensation expenses in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the thirty nine weeks ended September 28, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Net sales | $ | 913,270 | $ | 614,510 | $ | 298,760 | 48.6 | % |
The net sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2014 were $913,270, including revenue from the Westfield Topanga location and Glendale Galleria location which were opened in 2013, compared to $614,510 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. This resulted in an increase of $298,760, or 48.6% higher from the same period a year ago.
The net sales consist of revenues from private party rentals, fees for guests to access the children's play area, sales from our one-, three-, or six-month membership cards, sales from Giggles N' Hugs-branded merchandise, net of allowances, returns and discounts. Sales were up in all categories, while allowances, returns and discounts were mostly flat. We believe that the added stores for the full year, increased internal marketing and periodic events held by the Malls, all contributed to the increase. The Century City location showed a 9.4% increase in sales over the comparable period from last year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Without sufficient cash flow from operations we will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions to implement of our strategy to successfully expand our operations. If our own financial resources and then-current cash-flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Joey Parsi, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on his evaluation, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
11 |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
None.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
As of the date of this Report, the Company was not subject to any other material legal proceedings. The only significant litigation that the Company was previously involved with was settled in August 2014 (see Note 16 - Subsequent Events) From time to time, however, the Company may be named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Although the Company cannot accurately predict the amount of its liability, if any, that could arise with respect to currently pending legal actions, it is not expected that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results or cash flows.
