EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 to Form 10 (this “Second Amendment”) amends the Form 10-12G filing, originally filed on October 13, 2015 (the “Original Filing”) and the Amendment No. 1 to Form 10 (the “First Amendment”) filed December 2, 2015 by PF Hospitality Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). We are filing this Second Amendment to address the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) comments sent on December 16, 2015, to revise Item 15(b) of the Form 10 to include a reference to Exhibit 10.5, the Stock Exchange Agreement among the Company, EXO:EXO, Inc. and Sloane McComb, dated December 16, 2015 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on December 22, 2015), to file Exhibit 10.6 to the Form 10, the Form of Convertible Debenture issued by the Company and to revise the disclosure in footnote 14 to the Company’s September 30, 2015 financial statements to clarify the disclosure of the transaction related to the Company’s offering of the convertible debentures.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses and financial results.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
We are a management firm which creates, cultivates, and operates innovative and healthy lifestyle brands within the restaurant and retail industries. We focus on consumer food service concepts that is founded on a franchised and multi-unit business model in the retail, fast-casual, and casual restaurant sector. As the creator and current advisor organization of the all-natural and organic pizza franchise, Pizza Fusion, we are seeking to expand our innovative food service with an emphasis on sustainability and community impact. Currently with locations in selected markets in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, we are poised to rollout new concepts we plan to develop and manage.
Following the completion of our merger with PF Hospitality Group and the sale of a $1.3 million principal amount of convertible debentures we are now in a position to make an impact on the food and hospitality industry this coming year for critical growth and smart expansion. We believe successful investing begins with providing a compelling value proposition to the consumer combined with a unique and innovative concept, to all business constituencies. With that in mind, on a daily basis we strive to consistently deliver passion, innovation, creativity, and financial growth to all of our stakeholders who make this possible.
In 2014 and the early part of 2015, we franchised two new Pizza Fusion locations in Dubai, UAE. Continuing to follow progress of our Pizza Fusion expansion of units within the Middle East, we plan to narrow our focus on the rebranding of the Pizza Fusion concept. Part of this effort will be building strong sales growth of existing restaurants with the introduction of new and innovative menu offerings. We are also looking into physical refurbishments to individual Pizza Fusion establishments, and assessing key investments in mobile technology designed to engage the brand’s growing, savvy audience. Pizza Fusion is a fast-casual pizza restaurant that utilizes primarily organic and all-natural ingredients. In addition to pizza, Pizza Fusion establishments serve appetizers, salads, sandwiches, desserts, natural sodas, teas, juices, beer and wine. Restaurants are typically 1,200 to 2,400 square feet. The average lunch check is $8.00 per person and the average dinner check is $11.00 per person.
Our newest concept, Shaker & Pie, is a new interactive restaurant concept combining wood-fired pizzas with healthy, hearty Italian-influenced street food. An “interactive restaurant” expands upon the traditional restaurant concept by incorporating an interactive experience that might include the use of tablets to place orders, and social interaction on social media, including the use of on-line reservations or on-line ordering. We expect Shaker & Pie will provide a lasting impression on the South Florida restaurant arena, where the flagship location is slated to open in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 in the Mizner Park area of affluent, Boca Raton, Florida. Boca Raton’s Mizner Park is a pioneering downtown mixed-use project that includes 236,000 square feet of retail space, 267,000 square feet of office space, luxury retail apartments, town homes and cultural arts space, as well as a 5,000-person-capacity open-air amphitheater and was named one of America’s Top Public Places in 2010 by the American Planning Association. In addition, Boca Raton has been rated among the best places to start a new restaurant by the personal finance website NerdWallet.com. We are in the final stages of entering into a joint venture agreement with Sub-Culture Restaurant Group, an unrelated third party familiar with the operations of similar restaurant concepts for our initial Shaker & Pie location to utilize our executive management and marketing know-how and utilize our planned joint venture partner’s restaurant operating experience . It is expected that we will own a controlling interest in the joint venture and that we will be responsible for all conceptual design and brand direction, as well as share in the operating and marketing responsibilities of the restaurant. The flagship Shaker & Pie is expected to occupy approximately 3,638 square feet and, based on the currently proposed menu, the expected average cost for lunch will be $12.00 per person and $15.00 per person for dinner.
In addition, we are exploring ways to broaden our reach into the hospitality space, as we seek to add and develop brands from the natural and organic space into our current and planned locations, as we remain responsive to the changing demographics driven by millennials. As part of this effort, we granted Aramark Food and Support Services Group, Inc. (“Aramark”) the non-exclusive right to operate Pizza Fusion restaurants within Aramark’s U.S. network of colleges, universities, sports complexes, healthcare facilities and entertainment venues at locations to be agreed on by us and Aramark pursuant to a Test License Agreement. No locations to be operated under this agreement have been identified as of the date of this report.
In addition, we are expanding our presence in the health and fitness space following our acquisition of EXO:EXO, Inc. (“EXO”), a designer and producer of active wear brands offered in national fitness retailers in the U.S. We acquired EXO pursuant to the terms of a stock exchange agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”) we entered into and closed on with EXO and Sloane McComb (EXO’s sole shareholder) on December 16, 2015. Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of EXO common stock from Ms. McComb in exchange for (i) the issuance to Ms. McComb of 500,000 shares of our unregistered common stock, (ii) a payment of $25,000 to Ms. McComb, (iii) the payment of up to $20,000 to a third party for the payment of certain debts of EXO, and (iv) contingent consideration of up to 700,000 shares of our unregistered common stock in the following amounts upon attainment of EXO gross sales targets in any calendar year following the closing: 100,000 shares if EXO attains gross sales of at least $250,000 but less than $500,000, an additional 150,000 shares if EXO attains gross sales of at least $500,000 but less than $750,000, an additional 200,000 shares if EXO attains gross sales of at least $750,000 but less than $1,000,000 and an additional 250,000 shares if EXO attains gross sales of at least $1,000,000 (the “Contingent Consideration”). In order earn the Contingent Consideration, Ms. McComb must be employed by us for the full calendar year during which the annual performance target has been achieved unless such target has been met prior to her separation. In addition to the purchase price, we agreed to invest $50,000 into EXO for inventory, marketing and working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, EXO will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company upon the closing of the Stock Exchange.
In connection with the closing under the Stock Exchange Agreement, EXO entered into an employment agreement with Ms. McComb, pursuant to which Ms. McComb has been engaged as the President of EXO for a term commencing on the closing and ending on December 21, 2019, subject to automatic extensions if neither party has given the other notice that it does not wish to extend the agreement. Ms. McComb will receive an initial salary based on an annual rate to $40,000 for 2016 and $45,000 for 2017 and $50,000 for 2018, and will receive a quarterly bonus equal to 20% EXO’s EBITDA in the prior quarter, and other benefits as determined by the company’s board of directors.
We expect that this group will drive solid opportunities for expansion. We believe that leveraging our infrastructure and operations team will lead to potential acquisitions of undervalued brands in need of our managerial talent and cost control procedures.
Markets
We currently have Pizza Fusion franchises in 6 locations in the United States and 9 in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Within the United States, we have franchisees in Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia. We anticipate opening the first Shaker & Pie restaurant Boca Raton, Florida in the second fiscal quarter of 2016.
Franchise and Development Agreements
In connection with its franchising operations, we receive initial franchise fee (typically $30,000), area development fees (historically $250,000 to $300,000 per territory and a reduced franchise fee per location of $5,000 to $7,500 per location depending on the territory), franchise deposits and royalties of 5% of gross revenues of sales at franchised restaurants as defined in the franchise agreement. The term of the franchise agreement is generally for 10 years and may be renewed for two additional terms of 10 years subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a discounted franchise fee. We are currently operating 6 stores under franchise agreements.

Under the terms of our franchise agreement, we provide training, opening assistance and an operating manual, have the right to require franchisees source food items, equipment, supplies and certain services from approved suppliers, the right to approve any new menu items and make available to our franchisees information about new developments, techniques, and improvements in the areas of operations, management, and marketing. We also maintain a website for the benefit of ourselves and our franchisees. We have the right, but not the obligation, to establish, maintain, and administer a fund for the marketing of the “Pizza Fusion” brand and restaurants. If we establish a marketing fund, a franchisee is obligated to contribute an amount equal to 3% of its gross revenue for a local marketing fund plus an additional 2% of gross revenue if we establish a regional fund to cover a geographical area we have the right to designate. Further, franchisee’s are obligated to spend an amount equal to 3% of their gross revenues on their own local marketing. We have the right at any time prior to six months before the end of the term of any franchise agreement to inspect a franchised business and require the franchisee to maintain, refurbish, renovate, and upgrade (including purchasing one or more new delivery vehicles).
An area development agreement grants a the developer exclusive right to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by us. Each location must be approved by us and will operate under a separate franchise agreement to be entered into upon selection of a location. A developer generally has a right to use the Pizza Fusion marks and grant sub-franchises within the development area. A developer is obligated to pay us an upfront fully earned fee upon execution of the agreement. We are obligated to provide initial training, on-going support and register the Pizza Fusion trademark in the development area. Furthermore, the developer is subject to certain non-solicitation and non-compete clauses during the term of the agreement and for a two year period after its expiration or termination. The area development agreements may not be assigned without our prior written consent, subject to certain limitations.
In January 2009 we entered into a ten year area development agreement with a third party to open a total of 10 Pizza Fusion locations in Saudi Arabia in return for a $250,000 development fee. Seven locations have been opened under the terms of this agreement.
In March 2011 we entered into a restaurant development agreement with a third party to open a total of 38 Pizza Fusion locations by 2019 in the countries of Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. Two locations have been opened under the terms of this agreement and we have agreed to defer the development schedule under this agreement indefinitely. This development agreement expires on December 31, 2023.
During the preceding three years, the number of operating franchised restaurants has fluctuated from 11 restaurants in 2013 to a low of seven as of September 30, 2015. There are currently 15 operating Pizza Fusion franchises. As with any franchise system, the number of operating franchises fluctuates over time, and a reduction in the number of franchises may be due to factors outside of the franchisor’s control. Several Pizza Fusion franchises that were in developing markets in 2008 were forced to cease operations due to the worldwide economic downturn. We also terminated or severed ties with certain franchises due to their non-compliance with our standards so as to negatively affect the image of our brand. Given the early stage of our development and our limited resources, we were not in a position to assume operations of these franchised locations pending identification of replacement operators. We will likely continue to experience fluctuations in the number of franchisees for these and other reasons.
The natural and organic food industry has grown significantly since we created the concept in 2006. A majority of the products needed to provide natural and organic offerings are readily available through national distribution partners as well as regional and local distribution sources. Fluctuations in commodity costs are expected, are present in all restaurant concepts, and are not unique to operators of natural and organic restaurant concepts. We endeavor to monitor the market pricing of our major commodity items, such as tomatoes, cheese and flour, and seek to secure long-term contracts based on futures pricing. Notwithstanding these efforts, fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly when prices increase precipitously, could adversely affect the operations of our franchisees.
Research and Development
We do not engage in any material research and development activities. However, we do engage in ongoing studies to assist with food and menu development. Additionally, we conduct consumer research to determine customers’ preferences, trends, and opinions, as well as to better understand other competitive brands.
Government Regulation
We and our franchisees are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our business.
Franchise Regulations
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, and international laws governing franchise sales and the franchise relationship. In general, these laws and regulations impose certain disclosure and registration requirements prior to the offer and sale of franchises. Rulings of several state and federal courts and existing or proposed federal and state laws demonstrate a trend toward increased protection of the rights and interests of franchisees against franchisors. Such decisions and laws may limit the ability of franchisors to enforce certain provisions of franchise agreements or to alter or terminate franchise agreements. Due to the scope of our business and the complexity of franchise regulations, we may encounter minor compliance issues from time to time. We do not believe, however, that any of these issues will have a material adverse effect on our business.
| - 5 - |
Regulations Affecting the Restaurant Industry
Each of our franchisees’ restaurants must comply with licensing requirements and regulations by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. The development and operation of restaurants depends on selecting and acquiring suitable sites, which are subject to zoning, land use, environmental, alcoholic beverage control, traffic and other regulations. We have not encountered significant difficulties or failures in obtaining the required licenses or approvals that could delay the opening of a new restaurant or the operation of an existing restaurant nor do we presently anticipate the occurrence of any such difficulties in the future.
Our franchisees are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and various other laws in the United States governing such matters as minimum-wage requirements, overtime, tip credits, other working conditions, safety standards, and hiring and employment practices. Any increases in labor costs might result in our franchisees inadequately staffing stores. Such increases in labor costs and other changes in labor laws could affect store performance and quality of service, decrease royalty revenues and adversely affect our brand.
Our franchisees’ facilities must comply with the applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) and related state accessibility statutes. Under the ADA and related state laws, our franchisees must provide equivalent service to disabled persons and make reasonable accommodation for their employment, and when constructing or undertaking significant remodeling of restaurants, those facilities must be accessible.
Our franchisees are subject to laws and regulations relating to the preparation and sale of food, including regulations regarding product safety, nutritional content and menu labeling. Our franchisees are or may become subject to laws and regulations requiring disclosure of calorie, fat, trans fat, salt and allergen content. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”) requires restaurants, such as our franchisees, to disclose calorie information on their menus. The Food and Drug Administration has proposed rules to implement this provision of the Affordable Care Act that would require restaurants to post the number of calories for most items on menus or menu boards and to make available more detailed nutrition information upon request.
Our franchisees are subject to laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments and consumer credit, protection and fraud. An increasing number of governments and industry groups worldwide have established data privacy laws and standards for the protection of personal information, including social security numbers, financial information (including credit card numbers), and health information.
Competition
We believe that our direct competitors, pizza restaurants using natural and organic ingredients constitute a small minority of operators within the pizza industry . W e consider anyone in the fast-casual pizza space as competition and consider operators such as Blaze, Pie Five, Modmarket and Zpizza as our direct competitors within the natural and organic market.
In addition, the restaurant industry generally is intensely competitive with respect to the type and quality of food, price, service, restaurant location, personnel, brand, attractiveness of facilities, and effectiveness of advertising and marketing. The restaurant business is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional or local economic conditions; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number and location of competing restaurants; and consumers’ discretionary purchasing power. Our franchisees compete within each market with national and regional chains and locally-owned restaurants for guests, management and hourly personnel and suitable real estate sites. We and our franchisees also face growing competition from the supermarket industry, which offers “convenient meals” in the form of improved entrées and side dishes from the deli section. In addition, improving product offerings at fast casual restaurants and quick-service restaurants, together with negative economic conditions, could cause consumers to choose less expensive alternatives. We expect intense competition to continue in all of these areas.
Seasonality
We expect that our sales volumes will fluctuate seasonally. We expect that our average sales will be highest in the spring and winter, followed by the summer, and lowest in the fall, and that holidays, changes in the economy, severe weather and similar conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some regions. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
Trademarks and Service Marks
We own the service marks for “Pizza Fusion” and “Pizza Fusion Fresh, Organic Earth Friendly”. These service marks are registered in the United States. We granted our area franchisee in the Middle East the right to register the Pizza Fusion trademark for the term of its franchise agreement with us in certain countries in the Middle East where the franchisee has the right to open Pizza Fusion restaurants. We expect that the service marks and trademarks related to our restaurant businesses will have significant value and be important to our marketing efforts. Registration of the Pizza Fusion and Pizza Fusion Fresh, Organic Earth Friendly service marks expire in our 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, respectively, unless renewed. We expect to renew these registrations at the appropriate time.
Employees
As of the date of this report, we had four full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Former Business Operations and Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Nevada on April 5, 2005 under the name Tomi Holdings, Inc. In October 2005, we changed our name to InfraBlue (US), Inc., and in October 2007, we changed our name to NextGen Bioscience, Inc. In December 2008, we changed our name to Kalahari Greentech, Inc. In May 2015, we changed our name to PF Hospitality Group, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 399 NW 2nd Avenue, Suite 216, Boca Raton, Florida 33432. Our telephone number is (561) 939-2520 and our fiscal year end is September 30. Prior to our merger with PF Hospitality Group discussed below, we were a U.S.-based exploration company with a primary focus on projects with prior exploration and production history.
Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (“Pizza Fusion”), a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, PF Hospitality Group has become a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. Pursuant to the terms of the May 26, 2015 merger agreement, we acquired 100% of the Pizza Fusion common shares and warrants in exchange for 17,117,268 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,411,512 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, we issued an aggregate of 2,385,730 warrants to acquire the common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years in exchange for previously issued and outstanding warrants to purchase Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. common stock. In addition, Pizza Fusion’s founders, Vaughan Dugan and Randy Romano, each purchased 21,441,366 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at a price of $.0001 per share. The shares are restricted and subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 144. Holders of convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed as part of the merger to limit the number of shares issuable upon conversion of to such debt to 40,000,000 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of the merger, Vaughan Dugan was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Randy Romano was appointed as President. Messrs. Dugan and Romano were also appointed to the Company’s board of directors. David Kugelman resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Director.
Financings
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated July 27, 2015, we issued and sold a $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to the company as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. The company agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on date the company closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.
Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, the company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of common stock the company is permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, the company further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts. The parties to the Registration Rights Agreement have agreed to defer the Company’s obligation to file the a registration statement until further notice by the holders of the convertible debt.
The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain negative covenants by the company, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of the company’s common stock or debts, sell substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, pay cash dividends or enter into any related party transactions. We granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by the company for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.
The debentures are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the twenty trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if the company issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of the company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of the company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of the company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days notice to the company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Periods
We have defined various periods that are covered in this report as follows:
| ● | “fiscal 2014” — October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 | |
| ● | “fiscal 2015” — October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. |
Overview
Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion, a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, we have become a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. We are a management firm which creates, cultivates, and operates innovative and healthy lifestyle brand within the restaurant and retail industries. We focus on consumer food service concepts, with a specialization around franchised and multi-unit business models in the retail, fast-casual, and casual restaurant sectors. As the creator and current advisor organization of the all-natural and organic pizza franchise, Pizza Fusion, we have been on the cutting edge of innovative food service with an emphasis on sustainability and community impact since 2006. Currently with 6 locations in the United States, 7 Saudi Arabia, and 2 in the United Arab Emirates, we is now testing out new concepts it will develop and manage.
Our newest concept, Shaker & Pie, is a new interactive restaurant concept combining wood-fired pizzas with healthy, hearty Italian-influenced street food. We expect Shaker & Pie will provide a lasting impression on the South Florida restaurant arena, where the flagship location is slated to open in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 in the Mizner Park area of affluent, Boca Raton, Florida. Boca Raton’s Mizner Park is a pioneering downtown mixed-use project that includes 236,000 square feet of retail space, 267,000 square feet of office space, luxury retail apartments, town homes and cultural arts space, as well as a 5,000-person-capacity open-air amphitheater and was named one of America’s Top Public Places in 2010 by the American Planning Association. In addition, Boca Raton has been rated among the best places to start a new restaurant by the personal finance website NerdWallet.com. We plan to enter into a joint venture with an operator of similar restaurant concepts for our initial Shaker & Pie location to utilize our executive management and marketing know-how and utilize our planned joint venture partner’s pizzeria expertise by taking the Shaker & Pie brand to a competitive with a loyal customer base.
In addition, we are exploring ways to broaden our reach into the hospitality space, as we seek to add and develop brands from the natural and organic space into our current and planned locations, as we remain responsive to the changing demographics driven by millennials. We expect that this group will drive solid opportunities for expansion. We believe that leveraging our infrastructure and operations team will lead to potential acquisitions of undervalued brands in need of our managerial talent and cost control procedures.
Prior to the merger with Pizza Fusion, we were a U.S.-based exploration company with a primary focus on projects with prior exploration and production history, thereby lowering capital costs and exploration risks. Its mission was to build a fully-integrated gold, silver, and metals production company that incorporated exploration, development, acquisition, mining, ore processing and sales. It targeted historically proven and highly prospective properties in North and South America with an ultimate goal of bringing projects into production, entering into joint ventures, or a potential sale.
Accounting Treatment of the Merger
For financial reporting purposes, our merger with Pizza Fusion represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and Pizza Fusion is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization effective as of July 1, 2015. Pizza Fusion is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and PF Hospitality is the acquired company. Consequently, in reports we file with the SEC covering accounting periods after June 30, 2015, the assets and liabilities and the operations will reflect the historical financial statements prior to the merger will be those of Pizza Fusion and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of PF Hospitality, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the merger will include the assets and liabilities of our company and Pizza Fusion, and the historical operations of Pizza Fusion and the combined operations with our company from the initial closing date under the merger agreement. Furthermore, since the merger occurred after the period ended June 30, 2015, the following discussion and analysis includes the financial results and operations of Pizza Fusion and PF Hospitality on consolidated basis for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Pizza Fusion Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Year Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2014
Total Revenue. For fiscal 2015, total revenue decreased by $104,305 to $210,633 compared to $314,938 in the same period in fiscal 2014 as a result of a reduction in royalty income due to two units that left the franchise system as part of a settlement in fiscal 2014 and the absence of income we recognized in fiscal 2014 as part of that settlement. As a result of the reduction in franchised units, there were nine franchised restaurants operating in the United States at September 30, 2014 and seven restaurants operating at September 30, 2015.
Total Operating Expenses. For fiscal 2015, total operating expenses increased 30.5% to $746,338 compared to $571,793 for same period in fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $158,999 in selling, general and administrative expense due to our acquisition of Kalahari Greentech Inc., SEC reporting obligations and compliance with our SEC filing obligations and $15,546 in payroll expense.
Net Loss. As a result of the above, the net loss for fiscal 2015 increased $180,029, or 70.1%, to $436,884 compared to $256,855 in the same period in fiscal 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements.
Year Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2014
As of September 30, 2015, our working capital deficit amounted to $944,490, a reduction of $106,912 as compared to working capital deficit of $837,578 as of September 30, 2014. This decrease is primarily a result of a $294,403 increase in total current liabilities partially offset by a $176,988 increase in cash. Working capital at September 30, 2015 included primarily cash and cash equivalents of $272,785 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $920,826, advances of $205,861, convertible notes payable of $61,074 and $50,000 of notes payable.
Cash used in operating activities of $265,086 during fiscal 2015 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $436,884, an increase of $30,104 in litigation receivable, an increase of $10,503 in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, non-cash merger costs, depreciation and amortization of debt discount. The increase in the litigation receivable remitted from the settlement in February 2015 of a lawsuit against two former franchisees.
Cash used in investing activities was $20,914 during fiscal 2015, and principally related to design and related costs associated with a planned new restaurant.
Cash provided by financing activities of $462,988 during fiscal 2015 was attributable to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, proceeds from advances, sale of common stock and series A preferred stock. Cash provided by financing activities of $149,361 during fiscal 2014 was attributable to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, proceeds from advances and issuance of notes.
Capital Resources
We expect to incur a minimum of $1,555,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations as we launch our planned Shaker and Pie restaurant concept, acquisition of new restaurant concepts and manage our current franchise operations. We estimate that this will be comprised of approximately $1,055,000 towards leasehold improvements and launch costs. Additionally, approximately $500,000 will be needed for general overhead expenses such as for corporate legal and accounting fees, office overhead and general working capital. We have not determined the amount of funds needed to finance company’s we are seeking to acquire. We plan to fund these costs from the proceeds of our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and approximately $600,000 in capital contributions from our planned joint venture partner for the initial Shaker and Pie location. In the event we run into cost overruns or lower than anticipated revenues from the Shaker and Pie operation, we will have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We potentially will have to issue debt or equity, obtain capital from our joint venture partner or enter into a strategic arrangement with other third parties.
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. Other than our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and our discussions with our proposed joint venture partner for the our initial Shaker and Pie location, we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no other such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for the above purposes that exceed our current working capital, the funding schedule in our $1.3 million principal amount convertible debentures and the funds from our planned joint venture partner will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2015, Pizza Fusion did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Going Concern Consideration
Pizza Fusion’s consolidated financial statements were prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Pizza Fusion has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Pizza Fusion has incurred significant losses and, as of September 30, 2015, has an accumulated deficit of $10,862,378, total current assets of $293,271 and total stockholders’ deficit of $1,378,229. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for our capital needs by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and planned expansion and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies below as critical to its business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 5 to 7 years.
Concentrations of Risk. The Company’s bank accounts are held by insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.
Accounts Receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable are net of the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects managements’ best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Fair value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, royalties receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred income, approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
Advertising Expense. In accordance with ASC 720, the Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred which such amounts being immaterial.
Stock-based Compensation. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock-based compensation.
| - 10 - |
Income Revenue Recognition. In connection with its franchising operations, the Company receives initial franchise fees, area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties which are based on sales at franchised restaurants.
Franchise fees, which are typically received prior to completion of the revenue of the revenue recognition process, are deferred when received. Such fees are recognized as income when substantially all services to be performed by the Company and conditions related to the sale of the franchise have been performed or satisfied, which generally occurs when the franchised restaurant commences operations.
Development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by the Company. Fees from development agreements are deferred when received and recognized as income as restaurants in the development area commence operations on a pro rata basis to the minimum number of restaurants required to be open.
Deferred franchise fees and development fees are classified as current or long term in the financial statements based on the projected opening date of the restaurants. Royalty fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchise sales, are made by the franchisee.
Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Research and Development. Research and development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are expensed as incurred which such amounts being immaterial.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported, as of the year ended September 30, 2015, net losses of $436,884, accumulated deficit of $10,862,378 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $944,490.
The Company’s revenue from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital needs and will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.
In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
| - 11 - |
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectability of those fees. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment.
Costs of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs are not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.
Impairment of long lived assets. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Net Loss per Common Share. The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Both of which are adjusted to give effect to the 2,000-for-1 reverse stock split, which was effected on May 26, 2015 (see Note 5). There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the three and Year Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. Fully diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 179,852 and 183,289, respectively; and 179,852 and 182,739 for fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes. Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company’s historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 related to losses incurred during such periods.
Research and Development. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For fiscal 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.
Share-Based Compensation. The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) using the modified-prospective transition method. Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Number 2015-3 entitled “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The new guidance specifies that debt issuance costs under the new standard are to be netted against the carrying value of the financial liability. Under current guidance, debt issuance costs are recognized as a deferred charge and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. The new guidance aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs and debt discounts in that both reduce the carrying value of the liability. It is important to note that neither the recognition nor measurement of debt issuance costs is changed as a result of the ASU. Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be recorded as interest expense on the income statement.
The effective date of the new guidance is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, for public business entities and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued previously. We do not believe the effect of the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of September 30, 2015, we do not own any real property. We lease office space of approximately 1,950 square feet in Boca Raton, Florida pursuant to a lease that expires on July 31, 2016. We pay base rent of $2,200 per month plus fixed additional charges of $1,200 per month for real estate taxes, insurance, common area expenses and rental taxes. Rent is subject to increases of 5% each year.
ITEM 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
At September 2, 2015, we had 60,100,404 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 2, 2015 for:
| ● | each of our named executive officers, | |
| ● | each of our directors, | |
| ● | all of our directors and executive officers as a group, and | |
| ● | each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock |
Information on beneficial ownership of securities is based upon a record list of our stockholder and we have determined beneficial owner’s percentage ownership by assuming that warrants that are held by the beneficial owner, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date set forth above have been exercised or converted. Furthermore, the number of shares outstanding does not give effect to the issuance of (a) approximately 37,597,538 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible debt and (b) 13,797,242 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants at $.25 per share (exclusive of those warrants held by the persons listed in the tables below). We believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own.

ITEM 5. Directors and Executive Officers
Members of our Board of Directors are elected by the stockholders to a term of one year and serve until their successors are elected and qualified. Our officers are appointed by our Board to a term of one year and serve until their successors are duly appointed and qualified, or until the officer is removed from office. Our Board has no nominating, audit or compensation committees.
Set forth below is certain information regarding our directors and executive officers.
| Name | Age | Position | ||
| Vaughan Dugan | 42 | Chief Executive Officer and Director | ||
| Randy Romano | 57 | President and Director |
Vaughan Dugan. Mr. Dugan has served as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors since July 2015. From 2006 to 2015, Mr. Dugan was the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Pizza Fusion, a franchisor of fast casual restaurants which offers a healthy alternative to traditional pizza restaurants. Mr. Dugan currently serves as the vice chairman on the Florida Atlantic University College of Education Advisory Board. He has also served as vice-chairman of the City of Boca Raton’s Green Living Advisory Board since 2011.
Randy Romano. Mr. Romano has served as our President and as a member of our board of directors since July 2015. From 2006 to 2015, Mr. Romano was the President/Founder of Pizza Fusion. Mr. Romano has extensive experience in the fields of franchise development, franchise operations and franchise training. His 30 year plus franchise experience includes serving as the president/founder of a retail franchise (Treasure Cache) with over 25 locations nationwide, and president/founder of a service franchise (American College Planning Service) that franchised its college planning centers throughout the United States servicing over 10,000 families annually.
There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.
Corporate Governance
Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our board believes that the establishment of committees of our board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
| - 14 - |
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors.
Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As with most small, early stage companies until such time as we further develop our business, achieve a stronger revenue base and have sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our board of directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board.
Code of Ethics
We expect that we will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Once adopted, we will make the code of business conduct and ethics available on our website at www.pfhospitalitygroup.com. We intend to post any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.
Board Structure
Our Board has not chosen to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the fact that our operations are sufficiently limited that such separation would not serve any useful purpose.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process
Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk and for identifying our risk exposures and communicating such exposures to our board. Our board is responsible for designing, implementing and overseeing our risk management processes. The board does not have a standing risk management committee, but administers this function directly through the board as a whole. The whole board considers strategic risks and opportunities and receives reports from its officers regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility as necessary. We believe our board’s leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities and enhances the board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company by sending communications to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer at 399 NW 2nd Avenue, Suite 216, Boca Raton, FL 33432. If stockholders feel that their questions have not been sufficiently addressed through communications with the Chief Executive Officer, they may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending their communications to the Board of Directors, c/o the Chief Executive Officer at the same address.
Director Compensation
Historically, our non-employee directors have not received compensation for their service outside the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below, but we may compensate our directors for their service in the future. We reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings. We also intend to allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we adopt in the future.
ITEM 6. Executive Compensation
2015 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in the past two fiscal years for:
| ● | our principal executive officer or other individual serving in a similar capacity, | |
| ● | our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at September 30, 2015 whose compensation exceed $100,000, and | |

Executive Employment Agreements
Vaughan Dugan
On June 1, 2013, Pizza Fusion entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dugan to serve as its Chief Executive Officer for a term that expires on May 30, 2020. The agreement provides for a base annual salary of $150,000 subject to a minimum increase at an annual compound rate of 5% and may be adjusted by the Company’s board of directors from time-to-time in its discretion but in no event shall the base salary be reduced below $150,000 plus annual increases without the Executive’s prior consent. In addition, Mr. Dugan is eligible for the same perquisites and benefits as are made available to other senior executive employees of the Company, as well as such other perquisites or benefits as may be specified from time to time by the Company including an automobile allowance, health insurance and a mobile telephone. Mr. Dugan is also eligible for an annual cash and equity bonus based on Company’s achievement of financial and other goals approved by its board of directors. As of the date of this report, the Board has not established any financial goals for purposes of determining bonuses.
If Mr. Dugan’s employment is terminated by us, with or without cause, or he resigns for any reason, he is entitled to be paid his compensation through the end of the remaining term, but in no event less than one year plus a pro-rata portion of any bonus awarded. During the term of his employment and for a period of one year thereafter, Mr. Dugan agreed to refrain from soliciting significant employees of the company or its franchisees. In addition, Mr. Dugan agreed to keep certain information of the Company confidential.

ITEM 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion. Under the terms of the merger with Pizza Fusion, we issued 17,117,268 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) for 100% of Our common shares and equivalents, and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 11,411,512 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. Vaughan Dugan, who became our Chief Executive Officer and a Director at the closing of the merger, and Randy Roman, who became our President and a Director at the closing of the merger, each received 3,162,999 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 2,108,667 shares of common stock in the merger at $.25 per share and 100,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, all of which expire in June 2008. In addition, Messrs. Dugan and Romano each purchased 21,441,366 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock, at a price of $0.0001 per share.
Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons
We do not have a formal, written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions between us and any director or executive officer, nominee for director, 5% stockholder or member of the immediate family of any such person that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, our policy is that any activities, investments or associations of a director or officer that create, or would appear to create, a conflict between the personal interests of such person and our interests must be assessed by our Chief Executive Officer and must be at arms’ length.
Occasionally, we may be involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that there are any claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
Our common stock is currently quoted on OTC Market Group, Inc.’s OTC Pink tier under the symbol, “PFHS.” The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks”, as well as volume information.
The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTC Markets. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. As of May 26, 2015, we effected a 2,000-for-1 stock split. All prices in the following table reflect post-split prices.

On November 25, 2015, the closing price for our common stock on the OTC Markets was $1.40 per share.
Until recently, the volume of shares traded on the OTC Markets was insignificant and therefore, historic prices may not represent a reliable indication of the fair market value of these shares.
Holders of Common Stock
As of September 2, 2015, there were approximately 50 record holders of our common stock. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of banks, brokers, nominees or other fiduciaries.
| - 17 - |
We have no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Moreover, we currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

In addition, effective July 1, 2015, we merged with Pizza Fusion. Under the terms of the merger with Pizza Fusion, we issued 17,117,268 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) for 100% of Our common shares and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 11,411,512 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years. In addition, the Pizza Fusion founders agreed to purchase an aggregate of 42,882,732 shares of our common stock and 2,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at a price of $0.0001 per share. On August 25, 2015 the holders of an aggregate of $65,500 of the Company’s convertible debt plus accrued interest of $24,763.69 agreed to limit the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such debt to 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock to be issued in connection with this conversion will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
The shares of Common Stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Pizza Fusion were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Securities Act”).
On July 27, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it issued and sold $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to us as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. We agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on the date we closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date.
Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of our common stock we are permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, we further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain negative covenants by us, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of our common stock or debts, sale of substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, payment of cash dividends or entry into any related party transactions. We granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by us for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.
The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the 20 trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if PF Hospitality Group issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. The debentures shares are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to PF Hospitality Group.
The convertible debentures were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

If any of these events should occur, the conversion price will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable.
Provisions that May Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change of Control
We have determined that Sections 378 through 3793 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) (“Acquisition of Controlling Interest”) do not apply to us because we do not currently meet the definition of “issuing corporation” contained therein. In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation specifically provide that such portions of NRS are not applicable to our company.
In addition to any provisions set forth in the NRS that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control, our Amended and restated articles of incorporation and Bylaws contain the following provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control:
Our Board has the authority to issue up to 500,000,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of preferred stock, without stockholder approval.
Nominations of persons for election to our Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at a meeting of stockholders (1) pursuant to our notice of meeting delivered pursuant to our Bylaws, (2) by or at the direction of our Board, (3) by any committee or person appointed by our Board or (4) by any stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice was delivered to our Secretary.
The notice procedures in our Bylaws include a requirement that the proposing stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely with respect to an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting; provided, however, that if no notice is given and no public announcement is made to the stockholders regarding the date of the meeting at least 70 days prior to the meeting, the stockholder’s notice shall be valid if delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive office not less than 10 days following the day on which the notice or public announcement of the date of the meeting was given or made.
| - 20 - |
In addition, any such stockholder’s notice must set forth (1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a) the name, age, business address and residential address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by the person, (d) the written consent by the person, agreeing to serve as a director if elected, (e) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and the stockholder regarding the nomination, (f) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination, (g) all information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the Exchange Act, and (h) such other information as we may reasonably request to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director; (2) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Amended and restated articles of incorporation or the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment, (b) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (d) any material interest (financial or otherwise) of such stockholder in such business; and (3) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name, business address and residential address of the stockholder giving the notice, (b) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the nominee regarding the nomination, and (d) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination.
ITEM 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation contain provisions that indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or those of any stockholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director’s or an officer’s fiduciary duty. In addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director or officer arising out of his role as a director or officer. Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, directors have no liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct by the director, a knowing violation of law by the director, acts or failures to act that constitute a breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, or for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers for expenses incurred by them in their capacities as directors and officers. This right of indemnification extends to fines, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, asserted against a director or an officer, or arising out of a director’s or an officer’s status as a director or an officer.
Under the NRS, the directors have a fiduciary duty to us that is not eliminated by this provision of the Articles and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under the NRS for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be in good faith or involve intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by the NRS. This provision also does not affect the directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
The NRS provides that a corporation may, and our Articles and Bylaws provide that we shall, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (the “Indemnified Party”), against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation if the Indemnified Party shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. Furthermore, the NRS provides that determination of an Indemnified Party’s eligibility for indemnification by us shall be made on a case-by-case basis by: (i) the stockholders; (ii) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PF Hospitality Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. PF Hospitality Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PF Hospitality Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 5, 2005 under the name Tomi Holdings, Inc. In October 2005, the Company changed its name to InfraBlue (US), Inc., and in October 2007, changed its name to NextGen Bioscience, Inc. In December 2008, the Company changed our name to Kalahari Greentech, Inc. In May 2015, the Company changed our name to PF Hospitality Group, Inc. Prior to the Company’s merger with PF Hospitality Group discussed below, we were a U.S.-based exploration company with a primary focus on projects with prior exploration and production history.
Effective July 1, 2015, the Company merged with Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (“Pizza Fusion”), a franchisor of organic fare pizza restaurants. As a result of the merger, PF Hospitality Group has become a franchisor of pizza restaurants specializing in organic fare free of artificial additives, such as preservatives, growth hormones, pesticides, nitrates and trans fats. Pursuant to the terms of the May 26, 2015 merger agreement, the Company exchanged 17,117,268 shares of its common stock and issued 11,411,512 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock for 100% of the Pizza Fusion common shares. The warrants are exercisable at $0.25 for three years. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,385,730 warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of three years in exchange for previously issued and outstanding warrants of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. Also, Pizza Fusion’s two founders purchased 21,441,366 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at a price of $.0001 per share. The shares are restricted and subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 144. Holders of convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed as part of the merger to limit the number of shares convertible pursuant to such debt at 40,000,000 shares of our common stock. As the owners and management of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. obtained voting and operating control of PF Hospitality Group, Inc. after the merger and PF Hospitality Group, Inc. was non-operating and did not meet the definition of a business, the transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc., accompanied by the issuance of its common stock for outstanding common stock of PF Hospitality Group, Inc., which was recorded at a nominal value. The accompanying financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the recapitalization as if it had occurred on November 6, 2006 (inception date) and accordingly all share and per share amounts have been adjusted.
Basis of presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PF Hospitality Group, Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. and Shaker & Pie, Inc (hereafter referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had cash of $272,785 and a working capital deficit of $944,490. During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $265,086. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues, and has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company raised $352,000 in cash proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes and $106,500 through short term borrowings. The Company believes that its current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through August 2016.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of common stock and preferred stock, and proceeds from private placements of convertible debt. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations.

PF HOSPITALITY GROUP, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service has occurred, all obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
In connection with its franchising operations, the Company receives initial franchise fees, area development fees, franchise deposits and royalties which are based on sales at franchised restaurants.
Franchise fees, which are typically received prior to completion of the revenue of the revenue recognition process, are deferred when received. Such fees are recognized as income when substantially all services to be performed by the Company and conditions related to the sale of the franchise have been performed or satisfied, which generally occurs when the franchised restaurant commences operations.
Development agreements require the developer to open a specified number of restaurants in the development area within a specified time period or the agreements may be cancelled by the Company. Fees from development agreements are deferred when received and recognized as income as restaurants in the development area commence operations on a pro rata basis to the minimum number of restaurants required to be open.
Deferred franchise fees and development fees are classified as current or long term in the financial statements based on the projected opening date of the restaurants. Royalty fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchise sales, are made by the franchisee.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash
Cash consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash in bank accounts located in the United States, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits or be uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
Royalties Receivable
Royalties receivable primarily consists of trade receivables, net of allowances. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its trade receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its history of past bad debt expense, collections and current credit conditions. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and the customer’s current credit worthiness. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0-. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of furniture and fixtures, equipment, leasehold improvements and construction in process. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:
| Construction in Progress | Not in service | |
| Equipment | 5 years | |
| Leasehold Improvements | 5 years | |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 5 years |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of costs associated with acquiring Pizza Fusion franchise and trademark rights, website development costs and trademark and logo costs.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The Company’s intangible assets with a finite life are franchise and trademark rights, website development costs and trademark and logo costs which are be amortized over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter.
The estimated useful lives of the classes of intangible assets are as follows:
| Franchise and trademark rights | 5 years | |
| Trademark costs | 5 years | |
| Website | 5 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
During the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company management performed an evaluation of its acquired intangible assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014. The tests indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its intangible assets did not exceed its fair value for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014; and no impairment was deemed to exist as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.
Website Development Costs
The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs (“ASC 350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website were included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. During the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.
Convertible Instruments
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company determined that the conversion provisions embedded in issued convertible debentures did not meet the defined criteria of a derivative in such that the net settlement requirement of delivery of common shares does not meet the “readily convertible to cash” as described in Accounting Standards Codification 815 and therefore bifurcation is not required. There was no established market for the Company’s common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:
| September 30, 2015 | September 30, 2014 | |||||||
| Convertible notes payable | 37,597,538 | - | ||||||
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 13,797,242 | 2,385,730 | ||||||
| Totals | 51,394,780 | 2,385,730 | ||||||
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 re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Advertising
The Company’s advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $249 and $1,325 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10, which 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.
Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Registration Rights
The Company accounts for registration rights agreements in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-20, Registration Payment Arraignments (“ASC 825-20”). Under ASC 825-20, the Company is required to disclose the nature and terms of the arraignment, the maximum potential amount and to assess each reporting period the probable liability under these arraignments and, if exists, to record or adjust the liability to current period operations. On September 30, 2015, the Company determined that possible payments under its registration rights agreement was not probable and therefore did not accrue as interest expense in current period operations for possible liability under the registration rights agreements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to decide whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard requires management to decide whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations in the footnotes. The standard becomes effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Management’s evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been disclosed in Note 2.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest -Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The notes are unsecured, interest bearing at 10% per annum (18% upon default), and matured from September 19, 2013 through April 4, 2014. The notes were initially convertible at the option of the Company at a fixed price of $0.20 per share.
In connection with the recapitalization, the holders of convertible debt in the original principal amount of $65,600 agreed as part of the merger to limit the number of shares convertible pursuant to such debt and accrued interest into 40,000,000 shares of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company has issued 2,944,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of $4,526 of promissory notes.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated July 27, 2015, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $1,333,334 principal amount of convertible debentures due July 27, 2020 for a price of $1,200,000. Proceeds from this debenture will be paid to the company as follows: $140,000 upon signing with the balance payable in five consecutive monthly installments of $212,000 commencing on September 1, 2015. The company agreed to pay interest for the first 12 months at the rate of 10% per annum on the amounts advanced payable in cash in six equal tranches, the first of which is due on date the company closed on the financing and remainder will be due on each of the first five monthly anniversaries of such date. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has received net proceeds of $352,000 under the security purchase agreement
The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain negative covenants by the company, unless consent of purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debentures, including prohibitions on: incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, repayment or repurchase of the company’s common stock or debts, sell substantially all of its assets or merger with another entity, pay cash dividends or enter into any related party transactions. The Company granted investors certain pro-rata rights of first refusal on future offerings by the company for as long as the investor(s) beneficially own any of the debentures.
The debentures are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price of its common stock for the twenty trading days prior to each conversion date subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the debentures is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if the company issues or sells shares of its common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of its common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the debentures then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
As of September 30, 2015, the Company determined that the conversion provisions embedded in issued convertible debentures did not meet the defined criteria of a derivative in such that the net settlement requirement of delivery of common shares does not meet the “readily convertible to cash” as described in Accounting Standards Codification 815 and therefore bifurcation is not required. There was no established market for the Company’s common stock. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recognized the value attributable to the conversion feature in the amount of $189,537 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the notes. The debt discount attributed to the conversion feature issued is amortized over the note’s maturity period (two years) as interest expense.
For the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized $3,621 of debt discount and original issuance discounts to current period operations as interest expense.
Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the offering, the company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the closing date covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days from the closing date. Should the number of shares of common stock the company is permitted to include in the initial registration statement be limited pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, the company further agreed to file additional registration statements with the SEC to register any remaining shares. The Company will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts. The parties to the Registration Rights Agreement have agreed to defer the Company’s obligation to file the a registration statement until further notice by the holders of the convertible debt.

Due to possible significant changes in the Company’s ownership, the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. All or portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.
We have adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, which provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10-25 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax position that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company had no tax positions relating to open income tax returns that were considered to be uncertain.
The Company is required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before September 30, 2012.
