NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates include:

| ● | the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
| ● | the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
| ● | estimates and assumptions used to value warrants and options;
| ● | the recognition of revenue; and
| ● | the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, or December 31, 2021.

Inventory

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, consist primarily of perishable food items and supplies. Cost is determined using the first-in, first out method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the related asset. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

| Furniture and equipment |  | 3 - 7 years
| Leasehold improvements |  | 1 - 11 years

The Company determined that as of January 1, 2022, the trademark - Muscle Maker had a finite life of 3 years and will be amortizing the value over the new estimated life. The Company’s goodwill has an indefinite life, and is accordingly not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

The other intangible assets estimated original useful lives are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

| Franchisee agreements |  | 13 years |
| Franchise license |  | 10 years |
| Trademark – Muscle Maker, SuperFit, and Pokemoto |  | 3 – 5 years |
| Domain name, Customer list and Proprietary recipes |  | 3 – 7 years |
| Non-compete agreement |  | 2 – 3 years |

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

When circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company performs an analysis to review the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, which includes estimating the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the expected future operations of the asset. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, operating trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Any impairment losses are recorded as operating expenses, which reduce net income.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

If the instrument is determined not to be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the commitment date to the effective conversion price of the instrument.

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company deemed the conversion feature in its convertible notes are not required to be bifurcated and recorded as a derivative liability.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist of restaurant sales, franchise royalties and fees, franchise advertising fund contributions, and other revenues. The Company recognized revenues according to Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Under the guidance, revenue is recognized in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In applying this five-step model, we made significant judgments in identifying the promised goods or services in our contracts with franchisees that are distinct, and which represent separate performance obligations.

Restaurant Sales

Retail store revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $2,630,254 and $8,075,180 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $2,976,256 and $6,720,030 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct dormancy fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenues from gift cards as restaurant revenues once the Company performs its obligation to provide food and beverage to the customer simultaneously with the redemption of the gift card or through gift card breakage, as discussed in Other Revenues below.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise revenues consists of royalties, franchise fees and rebates. Royalties are based on a percentage of franchisee net sales revenue. The Company recognizes the royalties as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $129,010 and $358,432 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $132,176 and $318,074 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company provides the franchisees with management expertise, training, pre-opening assistance, and restaurant operating assistance in exchange for the multi-unit development fees and franchise fees. The Company capitalizes these fees upon collection from the franchisee, these fees are then recognized as franchise fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the related franchise agreements and any exercised renewal periods. Cash payments are due upon the execution of the related franchise agreement. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to franchise fee revenues consists of a license to utilize the Company’s brand for a specified period of time, which is satisfied equally over the life of each franchise agreement. The Company recorded revenue from franchise fees of $18,666 and $82,872 during the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $234,670 and $256,808 during the three and nine month ended September 30, 2021, respectively which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Franchise Royalties and Fees, continued

The Company has supply agreements with certain food and beverage vendors. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, rebates are provided to the Company based upon the dollar volume of purchases for all company-owned and franchised restaurants from these vendors. Rebates earned on purchases by franchise stores are recorded as revenue during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made. The Company recorded revenue from rebates of $22,332 and $99,325 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $(42,092) and $54,761 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Rebates earned on purchases by Company-owned stores are recorded as a reduction of food and beverage costs during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made.

Franchise Advertising Fund Contributions

Under the Company’s franchise agreements, the Company and its franchisees are required to contribute a certain percentage of revenues to a national advertising fund. The Company’s national advertising services are provided on a system-wide basis and therefore, not considered distinct performance obligations for individual franchisees. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes these sales-based advertising contributions from franchisees as franchise revenue when the underlying franchisee Company incurs the corresponding advertising expense. The Company records the related advertising expenses as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses. When an advertising contribution fund is over-spent at year end, advertising expenses will be reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in an amount that is greater than the revenue recorded for advertising contributions. Conversely, when an advertising contribution fund is under-spent at a period end, the Company will accrue advertising costs up to advertising contributions recorded in revenue. The Company recorded contributions from franchisees of $23,297 and $57,592 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $670 and $19,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in franchise advertising fund contributions on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Revenues

Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction. The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. Gift card liability is recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the Company did not record any gift card breakage.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s franchise agreements. Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $56,043 and $16,935 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $4,771 and $29,529 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the impact of potential common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of warrants, options or the conversion of convertible notes payable.

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares at September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

SCHEDULE OF ANTI-DILUTIVE SECURITIES EXCLUDED FROM COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
|  | September 30, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Warrants |  |  | 17,873,906 |  |  |  | 6,615,302 |
Options |  |  | 387,500 |  |  |  | 100,000 |
Convertible debt |  |  | 25,318 |  |  |  | 32,350 |
Total potentially dilutive shares |  |  | 18,286,724 |  |  |  | 6,747,652 |

Major Vendor

The Company engages various vendors to distribute food products to their Company-owned restaurants. Purchases from the Company’s largest supplier totaled 39% and 33% of the Company’s purchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Purchases from the Company’s largest supplier totaled 54% and 62% of the Company’s purchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

15

MUSCLE MAKER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The carrying amounts of accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short–term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of common stock and warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

See Note 16– Equity – Warrant and Options Valuation for details related to accrued compensation liability being fair valued using Level 1 inputs.

Leased Assets

The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit of $15,010 as of the adoption date. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments arising from the lease agreement. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement of the lease based upon the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the no cancelable period of the lease together with periods covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease when management is reasonably certain that it will exercise such option. Changes in the lease term assumption could impact the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on the balance sheet. As our leases typically do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, we determine the present value of the lease liability using our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the lease term on a collateralized basis.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in the Company’s financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Uncertain tax positions have had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within years of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally recorded on the grant date and re-measured on financial reporting dates and vesting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount of the award is then recognized over the period services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires companies to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use leased assets on the balance sheets and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be enhanced to better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.

Additionally, in 2018 and 2019, the FASB issued the following Topic 842–related ASUs:

● ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which clarifies the applicability of Topic 842 to land easements and provides an optional transition practical expedient for existing land easements;

● ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which makes certain technical corrections to Topic 842;

● ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which allows companies to adopt Topic 842 without revising comparative period reporting or disclosures and provides an optional practical expedient to lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components of a contract if certain criteria are met; and

● ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which provides guidance for certain lessors on determining the fair value of an underlying asset in a lease and on the cash flow statement presentation of lease payments received; ASU No. 2019-01 also clarifies disclosures required in interim periods after adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 in the year of adoption.

The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit of $15,010 as of the adoption date, and recognized an additional $7,789 during the second quarter of 2022, based on updated information on two of our leases, for an aggregate cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $22,799. See Note 11 – Leases for further details.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations (“Topic 805”): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities were recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the extent of the impact of this ASU, but do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

SuperFit Foods Acquisition

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with SuperFit Foods, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and SuperFit Foods, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “SuperFit Acquisition”). The purchase price of the assets and rights was $1,150,000. The purchase price was payable as follows: $500,000 that was paid at closing, of which $25,000 was released from an escrow account held by our attorney, and $625,000 paid in 268,240 shares of common stock. The remaining $25,000, which was to be issued in the Company’s common stock, was forfeited as the Company and former owner agreed that not all obligations were met.

The Company acquired the following assets as part of the purchase agreement, adjusted for purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the fair value of the net assets acquired during 2021:

SCHEDULE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED IN BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Furniture and equipment |  | $ | 82,000 |
Vehicles |  |  | 55,000 |
Tradename |  |  | 45,000 |

Intangible assets, net |  |  | 260,000 |
Goodwill |  |  | 258,000 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 1,125,000 |

The adjustment to the estimate identifiable net assets acquired resulted in a corresponding $25,000 decrease in estimated goodwill due to the Company having no further obligation to issue the $25,000 shares of common stock as mentioned above.

On February 1, 2022, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”).

Nasdaq Notice, continued

The notice indicates that the Company will have 180 calendar days, until August 1, 2022, to regain compliance with this requirement. The Company can regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid listing requirement if the closing bid price of its common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial compliance period, it may be eligible for additional time of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of our publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, except the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company is not eligible or it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notice to the Company that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

On August 2, 2022, the Company received a second letter from the Staff advising that the Company had been granted an additional 180 calendar days, or to January 30, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

The Company intends to actively monitor the minimum bid price of its common stock and may, as appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Rule. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

Taxes

OVERVIEW

The Company operates under the names Muscle Maker Grill, Pokemoto and SuperFit Foods and is a franchisor and owner operator of Muscle Maker Grill and Pokemoto restaurants. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s restaurant system included 21 Company-owned restaurants, including the SuperFit Foods kitchen, and 22 franchise restaurants. In addition to these restaurants, the Company also operates from time to time with the following brand names under our ghost kitchen model: Meal Plan AF, Muscle Maker Burger Bar, Bowls Deep, Burger Joe’s, Wrap It Up, Salad Vibes, Mr. T’s House of Boba and Gourmet Sandwich. Our direct mail to consumer meal prep/plan program operates under the musclemakerprep.com and superfitfoods.com websites.

As of September 30, 2022, MMI consisted of four operating segments:

| ● | Muscle Maker Grill Restaurant Division
| ● | Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke Restaurant Division
| ● | Non-Traditional (Hybrid) Division
| ● | SuperFit Foods Meal Prep Division

MMI is our parent company. We own and operate three unique “healthier for you” restaurant concepts within our portfolio of companies: Muscle Maker Grill restaurants, SuperFit Foods meal prep and Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke restaurants. Our Company was founded on the belief of taking every-day menu options and converting them into “healthier for you” menu choices. Consumers are demanding healthier choices, customization, flavor and convenience. We believe our portfolio of companies directly satisfy these consumer needs. We focus on lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, proprietary sauces, whole grains and various other items like protein shakes, meal plans, specialty drinks and super foods. Each of our three concepts offers different menus that are tailored to specific consumer segments. We operate in the fast-casual and meal prep segments of the restaurant industry. We believe our “healthier for you” inspired concepts deliver a highly differentiated customer experience.

Muscle Maker Grill Restaurants (“Muscle Maker Grill”): our Muscle Maker Grill restaurants are fast casual style restaurants specializing in “healthier for you” high quality, made to order, lean protein-based meals. These meals feature all-natural chicken breast, grass fed beef, lean turkey, shrimp and plant-based items. We pair these lean proteins with super foods such as avocado, quinoa, spinach, kale and broccoli, while also offering cauliflower rice, whole wheat pasta, sweet potato fries and proprietary specialty sauces like zero carb, fat free or gluten free options. Our products are made to order. The menu features bowls, wraps, salads and burgers. We also offer protein shakes and fruit smoothies along with meal plans and catering. Customers can dine in or take out or have their meals delivered to their door via Company delivery personnel or third-party services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and GrubHub.

34

SuperFit Foods Meal Prep (“SuperFit Foods”): SuperFit Foods is a wholly owned meal prep division located in Jacksonville, Florida and focuses solely on meal plans. The terms meal prep and meal plans will be used interchangeably throughout this document. The business operates with a centralized kitchen that prepares all meals for distribution to consumers twice per week. This is a subscription-based business model where consumers order their meals via the SuperFitfoods.com website and are charged automatically every week. There are over 150 meal plan options to choose from as well as various healthy juices, snacks and desserts. Meal plans focus on specific dietary needs such as vegetarian, high protein, gluten free and low calorie.

SuperFit Foods’ distribution process is different than most meal prep companies. The business operates with a centralized kitchen that prepares all meals in our fully refrigerated cooler room for distribution to consumers twice per week. While other meal plan companies ship meals directly to consumer’s homes, the SuperFit Foods model uses Company-owned coolers placed at designated pick-up locations throughout the Jacksonville, Florida market. Pick up locations are placed inside wellness centers such as gyms, yoga studios, and various lifestyle locations. SuperFit Foods delivers twice per week by independent contractors to these locations and consumers conveniently pick up their orders after their workouts or during their daily routines. This model allows us to keep food fresh and refrigerated (even in the summer months), reduces shipping costs to consumers and provides an easier distribution model for the Company. While we do offer direct shipment or drop-offs to homes, this represents a smaller percentage of overall Company revenue. As the lockdowns and restrictions from Covid are reducing, we believe our distribution model becomes even more attractive for consumers.

Pokemoto Hawaiian Poke restaurants (“Pokemoto”): Pokemoto restaurants are fast casual style restaurants that specialize in Hawaiian inspired poke bowls, wraps and salads. Poke is native Hawaiian cuisine made up of diced fresh fish served as an appetizer or main course with strong influences of Japanese and Korean cuisine. Think of it as deconstructed sushi that a consumer can customize into a bowl, salad or wrap every time. Hawaiian Poke is trending in the restaurant industry. It is a unique segment that is healthy, customizable, popular with millennials and Gen-Zs, offers unique flavor profiles and is “Instagrammable.” Many of our Pokemoto restaurants serve boba teas as a compliment to meals or as a separate dessert option.

Pokemoto offers consumers the possibility to customize their order every time. Consumers move down a linear production line (similar to Chipotle or Subway customer interaction and operations) customizing their bowl from a wide selection of ingredients. Pokemoto offers five types of protein including sushi grade tuna, salmon, chicken, shrimp or tofu. Consumers pick a base of white/brown rice or salad, select from over 25 mix-ins/toppings including avocado, kani salad, pickled daikon, hijiki seaweed, masago, caviar, mandarin oranges, edamame, mango, roasted cashews or wonton crisps to name a few and topped off with over eight proprietary sauces that are made in house. All this gets mixed together creating a flavor explosion that is customized for every consumer.

Pokemoto requires little to no cooking. Everything is either raw (tuna, salmon, veggies and fruits) or comes in pre-cooked (chicken and shrimp). The only cooking we do is soup and rice. It’s that simple. Because we have little cooking and consumers customize their orders, our labor requirements compared to most restaurants may be reduced. In addition, we believe training becomes much easier when you are not cooking or requiring recipes to be followed while consumers customize their menu options. This creates a consistent product across all our Pokemoto restaurants as we expand into more markets. Finally, because we have little to no cooking, our build outs usually do not require expensive hoods, fire suppression systems, deep fryers, grills, ovens, etc. making the potential cost of building out a location very favorable.

Non-Traditional (Hybrid) Division is a combination of the aforementioned brands and provides its own unique experience for the consumer. Non-Traditional (Hybrid) locations are designed for unique locations such as universities, military bases and ghost kitchens.

We believe our healthy-inspired restaurant concept delivers a highly differentiated customer experience by combining the quality and hospitality that customers commonly associate with our full service and fast casual restaurant competitors with the convenience and value customers generally expect from traditional fast-food restaurants. The foundation of our brand is based on our core values of quality, empowerment, respect, service and value.

| ● | Quality. Commitment to provide high quality, healthy-inspired food for a perceived wonderful experience for our guests.

35

| ● | Empowerment and Respect. We seek to empower our employees to take initiative and give their best while respecting themselves and others to maintain an environment for teamwork and growth.
| ● | Service. Provide world class service to achieve excellence each passing day.
| ● | Value. Our combination of high-quality, healthy-inspired food, empowerment of our employees, world class service, all delivered at an affordable price, strengthens the value proposition for our customers.

In striving for these goals, we aspire to connect with our target market and create a great brand with a strong and loyal customer base.

We are the owner of the trade name and service mark Muscle Maker Grill®, SuperFit Foods®, Pokemoto®, MMG Burger Bar®, Meal Plan AF® and other trademarks and intellectual property we use in connection with the operation of our restaurant locations. We license the right to use the Muscle Maker Grill®, Pokemoto®, and SuperFit Foods ® trademarks and intellectual property to our wholly owned subsidiaries, Muscle Maker Development, Poke Co Holdings LLC and Muscle Maker Corp., and to further sublicense them to our franchisees for use in connection with Muscle Maker Grill® and Pokemoto® restaurants.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance, a working capital surplus and an accumulated deficit of $11,673,247, $10,391,111, and $76,950,413, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a pre-tax net loss of $1,895,118 and $5,541,559, respectively and net cash used in operations of $3,413,527 and $4,941,096 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 201, respectively. The Company believes that our existing cash on hand and future cash flows from our franchise operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditures and repayment obligations over the next twelve months.

Key Financial Definitions

Total Revenues

Our revenues are derived from three primary sources: Company restaurant sales, franchise fee revenues and vendor rebates from Franchisees. Franchise revenues are comprised of franchise royalty revenues collected based on 2% to 6% of franchisee net sales and other franchise revenues which include initial, transfer and renewal franchisee fees. Vendor rebates are received based on volume purchases or services from franchise owned locations. In addition, we have other revenues which consists of gift card breakage which is recognized when we determine that there is no further legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance.

Food and Beverage Costs

Food and beverage costs include the direct costs associated with food, beverage and packaging of our menu items at Company-operated restaurants partially offset by vendor rebates from Company-owned stores. The components of food, beverages and supplies are variable in nature, change with sales volume, are affected by menu mix and are subject to fluctuations in commodity costs.

Labor

Restaurant labor costs, including preopening labor, consists of Company-operated restaurant-level management and hourly labor costs, including salaries, wages, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation expense, benefits and bonuses paid to our Company-operated restaurant-level team members. Like other cost items, we expect total restaurant labor costs at our Company-operated restaurants to increase due to inflation and as our Company restaurant revenues grow. Factors that influence labor costs include minimum wage and employer payroll tax legislation, mandated health care costs and operational productivity established by the management team.

Rent

Restaurant rent, including preopening rental charges, consist of Company-operated restaurant-level rental or lease payments applicable to executed rental or lease agreements. In many cases these rental payments may include payments for common area maintenance as well as property tax assessments. Our rent strategy in some locations consists of a variable rent structure calculated on net sales of the restaurant. While this can have a negative effect on higher volume locations where we cannot leverage a fixed rent, it provides downside protection for lower volume locations. The Company does incur rent for some closed locations while we seek to negotiate lease terminations or sublease to other companies.

Other restaurant operating expenses, consist of Company-operated restaurant-level ancillary expenses not inclusive of food and beverage, labor and rent expense. These expenses are generally marketing, advertising, merchant and bank fees, utilities, leasehold and equipment repairs, insurance and maintenance. A portion of these costs are associated with third party delivery services such as Uber Eats, Grub Hub, DoorDash and others. The fees associated with these third-party delivery services can range up to 25% of the total order being delivered. Management believes delivery is a critical component of our business model and industry trends will continue to push consumers towards delivery. We have adjusted our cost structure to reflect different pricing models, portion sizes, menu offerings, and other considerations to potentially partially offset these rising costs of delivery.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization primarily consist of the depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.

Franchise Advertising Expenses

In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes sales-based advertising contributions from franchisees as franchise revenue when the underlying franchisee incurs the corresponding advertising expense. The Company records the related advertising expenses as incurred under general and administrative expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with corporate, marketing and administrative functions that support our operations, including wages, benefits, advertising, travel expense, stock-based compensation expense, legal and professional fees, training, investor relations and other corporate costs. We incur incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly listed company on the Nasdaq capital market. A certain portion of these expenses are related to the preparation of an initial stock offering and subsequent capital raises and should be considered one-time expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Availability of Additional Funds

Although we have a working capital surplus of $10,391,111, we presently have an accumulated deficit of $76,950,413, as of September 30, 2022, and we utilized $3,413,527 of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We believe that our existing cash on hand and future cash flows from our franchise operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditures and repayment obligations over the next twelve months.

In the event we are required to obtain additional financing, either through borrowings, private placements, public offerings, or some type of business combination, such as a merger, or buyout, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such pursuits. We may be unable to acquire the additional funding necessary to continue operating. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell one or more lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

If we need to raise additional capital, we do not know what the terms of any such capital raising would be. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities could dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure to raise additional funds on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

Sources and Uses of Cash for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we used cash of $3,413,527 and $4,941,096, respectively, in operations. Our cash used for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,557,777, adjusted for net non-cash income in the aggregate amount of 1,615,064, partially offset by $529,195 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $503,421, of which $574,605 was used to purchase property and equipment, partially offset by $71,184 of collections in loans receivable.

Net cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $7,860,460 of which $9,181,349 was contributed by proceeds from a private placement offering, net of offering costs, and proceeds from the exercising of the pre-funded warrants of $28,652, partially offset by repayments of various other notes payable of $1,249,541, which consisted mainly of SBA loans that was acquired through the Pokemoto acquisition and $100,000 cash paid to a former investor in connection with the cancellation of their shares.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates include:

| ● | the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
| ● | the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
| ● | estimates and assumptions used to value warrants issued in connection with notes payable;
| ● | the recognition of revenue; and
| ● | the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recorded intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company does not amortize intangible assets having indefinite useful lives. The Company’s trademark – Muscle Maker had a finite life as of December 31, 2021. The Company determined that as of January 1, 2022, the trademark - Muscle Maker had a finite life of 3 years and will be amortizing the value over the new estimated life. The Company’s goodwill has an indefinite life, and is accordingly not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

The other intangible assets estimated original useful lives are as follows:

Franchisee agreements |  | 13 years
Franchise license |  | 10 years
Trademark – Muscle Maker, SuperFit, and Pokemoto |  | 3 – 5 years
Domain name, Customer list and Proprietary recipes |  | 3 – 7 years
Non-compete agreement |  | 2 – 3 years

49

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

When circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, we perform an analysis to review the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, which includes estimating the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the expected future operations of the asset. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, operating trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Any impairment losses are recorded as operating expenses, which reduce net income.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s franchise agreements. Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist of restaurant sales, franchise royalties and fees, franchise advertising fund contributions, and other revenues. The Company recognized revenues according to Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Under the guidance, revenue is recognized in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In applying this five-step model, we made significant judgments in identifying the promised goods or services in our contracts with franchisees that are distinct, and which represent separate performance obligations.

Restaurant Sales

Retail store revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes. The Company recorded retail store revenues of $2,630,254 and $8,075,180 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $2,976,256 and $6,720,030 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct dormancy fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenues from gift cards as restaurant revenues once the Company performs its obligation to provide food and beverage to the customer simultaneously with the redemption of the gift card or through gift card breakage, as discussed in Other Revenues below.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise revenues consists of royalties, franchise fees and rebates. Royalties are based on a percentage of franchisee net sales revenue. The Company recognizes the royalties as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $129,010 and $358,432 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $132,176 and $318,074 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company provides the franchisees with management expertise, training, pre-opening assistance, and restaurant operating assistance in exchange for the multi-unit development fees and franchise fees. The Company capitalizes these fees upon collection from the franchisee, these fees are then recognized as franchise fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the related franchise agreements and any exercised renewal periods. Cash payments are due upon the execution of the related franchise agreement. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to franchise fee revenues consists of a license to utilize the Company’s brand for a specified period of time, which is satisfied equally over the life of each franchise agreement. The Company recorded revenue from franchise fees of $18,666 and $82,872 during the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $234,670 and $256,808 during the three and nine month ended September 30, 2021, respectively which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

50

The Company has supply agreements with certain food and beverage vendors. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, rebates are provided to the Company based upon the dollar volume of purchases for all company-owned and franchised restaurants from these vendors. Rebates earned on purchases by franchise stores are recorded as revenue during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made. The Company recorded revenue from rebates of $22,332 and $99,325 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $(42,092) and $54,761 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in franchise royalties and fees on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Rebates earned on purchases by Company-owned stores are recorded as a reduction of food and beverage costs during the period in which the related food and beverage purchases are made.

Franchise Advertising Fund Contributions

Under the Company’s franchise agreements, the Company and its franchisees are required to contribute a certain percentage of revenues to a national advertising fund. The Company’s national advertising services are provided on a system-wide basis and therefore, not considered distinct performance obligations for individual franchisees. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes these sales-based advertising contributions from franchisees as franchise revenue when the underlying franchisee Company incurs the corresponding advertising expense. The Company records the related advertising expenses as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses. When an advertising contribution fund is over-spent at year end, advertising expenses will be reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in an amount that is greater than the revenue recorded for advertising contributions. Conversely, when an advertising contribution fund is under-spent at a period end, the Company will accrue advertising costs up to advertising contributions recorded in revenue. The Company recorded contributions from franchisees of $23,297 and $57,592 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $670 and $19,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in franchise advertising fund contributions on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Revenues

Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction. The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. Gift card liability is recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the Company did not record any gift card breakage.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily includes initial franchise fees received by the Company, which are being amortized over the life of the Company’s franchise agreements. Deferred revenue is recognized in income over the life of the franchise agreements and vendor rebates are recognized in income as performance obligations are satisfied.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in our financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

51

Our policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
