Prior Operations
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
Fast Casual Concepts, Inc is a Wyoming corporation and was originally incorporated in Pennsylvania in March 2019. The company filed articles of continuance with the Wyoming Secretary of State in April 2020. The company originally operated a chain of Fast Casual Restaurants, Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream, Independent Taco and Third Eye Pies. The Company intended to franchise the restaurant chains. Recently the company has changed focus and strategies to marketing. In November 2024 the company announced a 1 for 4 reverse stock split of its common shares. The company also announced an acquisition of CK Distribution a bloody mary mix company that sells non alcoholic mixers to distributors. Through this process the Company has opened up new business opportunities in marketing, branding and advertising. CK Distribution has been divested to its original owners and during June 2025, Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. opened a marketing company named GDS Lumina, Inc. (“GDS Lumina”) www.gdslumina.com. GDS Lumina is focused on marketing and will be the main focus moving forward for the Company.
Recognizing the strength of its marketing expertise developed through promoting its own restaurant brands and CK Distribution, the Company made a strategic pivot to focus exclusively on marketing services. The Company divested its restaurant operations in 2024 and has rebranding as a marketing company in 2025. This transition was driven by market opportunities created and presented through the running of the business. The Company launched GDS Lumina to focus on marketing through a unique strategy of combining ready made products to clients and using relationships with many clients to obtain marketing and advertising revenues. The company is working on implementing several integrated products that will combine with current marketing strategies such as email, Pay per click advertising, digital marketing, corporate branding and other marketing concepts. The Company is also exploring relationships with distributors of products that assist specific industries in their marketing efforts. The Company is currently under a non disclosure and cannot name the specific entity but it relates to the auto industry and will allow the company to integrate multiple marketing products under one product that seamlessly offers multiple data points to intelligently market their current database of customers. The Company offers a comprehensive suite of marketing services tailored to the needs of fast-casual restaurants and related businesses, including:

Business Opportunities
The Company intends to leverage a relationship built client base and use our relationships as a competitive advantage. We also intend to integrate data driven results through AI integration and data aggregation.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
1. | Strong Client Relationships: Personalized, trust-based relationships with clients foster loyalty, repeat business, and referrals, giving the company a competitive edge over larger, less agile firms. |
2. | AI Integration: Early adoption of AI tools (e.g., predictive analytics, programmatic advertising, sentiment analysis) enhances campaign efficiency, targeting, and ROI, positioning the company as innovative. |
3. | Agility and Flexibility: As a smaller firm, we can quickly adapt strategies, customize campaigns, and pivot to meet client needs compared to larger agencies with bureaucratic processes. |
4. | Cost-Effective Solutions: Lower overhead allows competitive pricing, appealing to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) that make up a significant portion of the $1.18 trillion digital marketing market projected for 2033. |
5. | Niche Expertise: Deep understanding of specific industries or local markets, built through relationships, enables tailored campaigns that resonate with target audiences. |
Weaknesses
1. | Brand Recognition: Less visibility compared to established players like WebFX or SmartSites, making it harder to attract larger clients or compete in high-profile pitches. |
2. | AI Implementation Costs: Integrating and maintaining AI tools requires upfront investment in software, training, and talent, straining limited financial resources. |
3. | Client Dependency Risk: Relying heavily on a few key clients for revenue increases vulnerability if relationships falter or clients reduce budgets during economic downturns. |
4. | Talent Retention: Competing for skilled AI and marketing professionals is challenging due to lower salaries or benefits compared to larger firms or tech companies. |
4
Opportunities
1. | Growing AI Demand: The rise of AI-driven marketing (e.g., 80% of consumers prefer personalized experiences) creates opportunities to offer cutting-edge services like AI-optimized content, chatbots, or hyper-targeted ads. |
2. | SMB Market Expansion: Small and mid-sized businesses increasingly seek digital marketing, providing a large addressable market for cost-effective, relationship-driven services. |
3. | Partnerships with AI Platforms: Collaborating with AI tool providers can enhance capabilities and credibility without heavy in-house development. |
4. | Niche Specialization: Focusing on underserved industries or emerging trends can differentiate the company and attract high-value clients. |
5. | Word-of-Mouth Growth: Leveraging strong client relationships for referrals and testimonials can drive organic growth, especially in local or industry-specific markets. |
Threats
1. | Intense Competition: Larger agencies (e.g., Ignite Visibility, Merkle) and tech giants offering AI-driven marketing tools dominate market share, pressuring smaller firms on pricing and innovation. |
2. | Economic Volatility: Marketing budgets are often cut during recessions, impacting SMB clients who are the company’s core market, as seen in past economic downturns. |
3. | Rapid Technological Change: The fast pace of AI and digital marketing advancements requires constant upskilling and adaptation, straining resources. |
4. | Data Privacy Regulations: Stricter laws (e.g., CCPA, GDPR) increase compliance costs and risks for AI-driven campaigns relying on consumer data, potentially leading to fines or reputational damage. |
5. | Market Saturation: The influx of freelancers and small agencies offering low-cost services can erode margins and make it harder to stand out without significant differentiation. |
Business Opportunities
As a company we intend to maximize our strengths using client relationships to secure long-term contracts and upsell AI enhanced services.
We intend to mitigate weaknesses by partnering with AI platforms and using some of the freely available open source AI frameworks to reduce implementation costs and more intelligently invest in staff training and expertise.
The company will capitalize on opportunities to target small business owners in high growth sectors with tailored AI-driven campaigns that will assist smaller businesses in ways that they thought they could not afford.
The company will address threats by diversifying our client base and attempting to reduce dependency on specific industries or customers. We will stay updated on privacy laws and data protection laws to ensure compliance and we will differentiate ourselves through niche expertise and superior client service to counter our competition.
Employees
We have one full time employee, our President, George Athanasiadis. The Board retains consultants and advisors on as needed basis. They are compensated with cash and also with the issuance of the Company’s common stock.
5
Facilities
Our corporate offices are located in Florida and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania we occupy approximately 1500 square feet. Our main operations will be spread across the United States and we intend to have advisors and contract service providers working from home offices or remote locations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our securities is highly speculative. The Company's business and ownership of shares of our common stock are subject to numerous risks. You should not purchase our shares if you cannot afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider the following risks before acquiring any of our shares.
We need additional capital.
We need additional financing to grow our operations. The amount required depends upon our business operations, and how quickly we grow. Varying based on growth strategies, it is estimated between $1,000,000 and $25,000,000 will have to be raised over the next 2 years. We may be unable to secure this additional required financing on a timely basis, under terms acceptable to us, or at all. To obtain additional financing, we will sell additional equity securities, which will further dilute shareholders' ownership in us. Ultimately, if we do not raise the required capital, we may experience delayed growth or need to cease operations.
We are dependent upon our key personnel.
We are highly dependent upon the services of George Athanasiadis, our CEO and President. If he terminated his services with us, our business would suffer.
There is only a limited trading market for our securities.
Our Common Stock is traded on the OTCIQ. The prices quoted may not reflect the price at which you can resell your shares. Because of the illiquid nature of our stock, we are subject to rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that make it difficult for stockbrokers to solicit customers to purchase our stock. This reduces the number of potential buyers of our stock and may reduce the value of your shares. There can be no assurance that a trading market for our stock will continue or that you will ever be able to resell your shares at a profit, or at all.
Our management controls us.
Our current officers and directors own approximately 57.5% of our outstanding common stock and are able to affect the election of the members of our Board of Directors and make corporate decisions. George Athanasiadis, by his ownership of Class A Preferred Stock, has the right to vote 79.2% of our voting securities.
6
We have a going concern issue.
Fast Casual Concepts consolidated financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Fast Casual has recently accumulated losses since its inception and has had negative cash flows from operations until 2024, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
The ability to continue Fast Casual’s operations depends on its ability to generate and grow revenue and results of operations as well as our ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish strategic objectives. We expect to continue to incur losses for the immediate future and will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities. Our future capital requirements for operations will depend on many factors, including the ability to generate revenues and obtain capital.
There can be no assurance that the Company be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of Fast Casual to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
We are in a competitive market and will be competing with much larger companies.
We are in a very competitive market and will be competing with much larger companies that are possibly better funded than us.
We are highly dependent on retaining our customer base.
As we grow we will do so focusing on relationships of some of our customer base. If we were to lose these customers we would likely see a significant decline in our rate of growth.
Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly and may increase substantially.
The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage in legal, accounting, auditing, and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly, and we are likely to incur losses that may adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal control. In that case, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in a loss of the investor confidence and a decline in our share price.

We cannot assure you that our Common Stock will be listed on an exchange.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCIQ under the symbol FCCI. Our goal is to become a fully reporting company, and uplist to a larger exchange, if possible. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of the stock exchanges or quotation medium we are hoping to uplist to, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our Common Stock on any stock exchange. After the filing of this Form 10, we expect that our Common Stock would continue to be eligible to trade on the “OTCIQ,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to trade shares in our Common Stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if we failed to meet the criteria outlined in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by such rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such a rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or trading shares in our Common Stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
Our Common Stock will likely be considered a “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is currently deemed “penny stock,” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information concerning transactions in such securities). Penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” generally refers to institutions with assets over $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. Moreover, brokers/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is suitable for a prospective investor. A broker/dealer must receive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock, and it is not guaranteed that we will in the future.
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock, we have this option as valid to discuss on the management level and approve it. There are no assurances or guarantees that we will be able to pay dividends.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
8
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). We may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of specific accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are taking advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in three years, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30.
Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 may make it more challenging to raise capital as and when we need it.
Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors, and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we cannot raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We have the right to issue shares of preferred stock. If we were to issue preferred stock, it is likely to have rights, preferences, and privileges that may adversely affect the common stock.
We have preferred stock currently issued and outstanding and do have the ability to issue more. The issuance of these shares could adversely affect the common stock already outstanding. The aforementioned preferred stock allows the holder to vote 10 times for each share owned. Currently George Athanasiadis owns 10,000,000 shares representing 100,000,000 votes. These shares hold special voting rights but are not convertible into common stock of the company.
There are inherent risks associated with our limitation of our internal policies and procedures.
We are a smaller company and have not yet established committees to oversee our financial activities such as an audit committee or compensation committee. Because we are smaller there are risks associated with our current lack of oversight. We have retained a PCAOB auditor and we intend to create committees as soon as we can feasibly do so.

Technological disruption could render some of our marketing strategies archaic or obsolete
Rapid advancements in AI, automation and digital marketing tools can render more traditional marketing strategies obsolete or archaic. We intend to be on the cutting edge of the AI marketing integration but it is very fast moving.
Data Privacy and Security issues.
Handling consumer data for marketing campaigns could expose us to breaches or non compliance with some regulations like GDPR or CCPA and could lead to fines or reputational damage.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements made in this Annual Report which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and our business, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to raise capital, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "would," "could," "should," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "plans," "intends," "targets" or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which we may conduct business, changes in the interest rate environment, international gold prices, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our current or potential business and related matters.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Overview
The financial statements presented are those of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. (“Fast Casual”, or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, GDS Lumina, Inc. (“GDS”). GDS was incorporated on June 23, 2025 under the laws of the state of Wyoming to pursue digital marketing. On June 30, 2025, Fast Casual terminated its previous November 2024 acquisition of CK Distribution, LLC (“CK”).
Fast Casual was incorporated to develop, build, operate and franchise casual eating establishments. All restaurant development, building and operations were discontinued on October 1, 2022. The remaining franchising operations were discontinued during 2024 with the shuttering of the last franchised eating establishment. CK was incorporated on July 10, 2023 under the laws of the state of Florida to pursue production, market and sale of specialty drink mixes. CK was acquired by Fast Casual during November 2024 as the result of a private party agreement between the respective companies’ majority ownership. During June 2025, the parties agreed to terminate the agreement with all personal shares being returned and all liabilities of CK assumed by its new owner. All balances and activity related to the franchising and CK specialty drink mix business have been shown as discontinued operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
The following significant accounting policies require management estimates and assumptions which may result in material impacts to Fast Casual’s financial condition.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Fast Casual recognizes revenue based on the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation as each performance obligation in a contract is satisfied. Fast Casual recognized revenue from continuing operations from the sale of digital marketing services totaling $18,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue from discontinued operations from the specialty drink mix were $36,854 and $0, and franchising revenue was $0 and $20,321 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Leases
Operating lease liabilities represented the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represented rights to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term were estimated. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Fast Casual evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less cost to sell.
11
Stock Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses in prior years for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax assets.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under are described as follows:
● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. | |
● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
● | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant for the asset or liability. |
The carrying values of cash and prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and notes payable, related party, approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements presented are those of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. (“Fast Casual”, or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, GDS Lumina, Inc. (“GDS”).

During October 2024, Fast Casual effectuated a 4:1 reverse split of its common stock.
Fast Casual was incorporated to develop, build, operate and franchise casual eating establishments. All restaurant development, building and operations were discontinued on October 1, 2022. The remaining franchising operations were discontinued during 2024 with the shuttering of the last franchised eating establishment. As such, all balances and activity related to the franchising business have been shown as discontinued operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (see Note 7).

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with Fast Casual's most recent audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Fast Casual has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Fast Casual presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations for both continuing and discontinued operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There are no outstanding dilutive instruments as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
Fast Casual's financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Fast Casual has accumulated losses since its inception and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about Fast Casual's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
To date, Fast Casual has raised over $1,000,000 and is seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 total through private placements of its common stock. Funds received from the issuance of debt and equity will be used to increase production, marketing and sale of specialty drink mixes and expand brand identity to ultimately achieve profitability. The continuation of Fast Casual as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations that produce positive cash flows. If Fast Casual is not successful, it may be forced to raise additional debt or equity financing.
There can be no assurance that Fast Casual will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of Fast Casual to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
CK Distribution
During June 2025, the Company terminated its acquisition of CK from November 2024. The parties agreed to return the privately held common stock shares of Fast Casual and the owner of CK assumed all liabilities and obligations of CK as of June 30, 2025. The historical statement of operations of the specialty beverage business of CK for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Fast Casual recognized a loss on disposal of subsidiary as follows:
Net lease assets and liabilities | $ | (31,805 | ) | |
Notes payable, related party | 15,246 | |||
Accounts payable | 8,560 | |||
Net loss on disposal of subsidiary | $ | 7,999 |
Fast Casual Franchising
During 2024, the Company was notified that its only franchisee was ceasing operations at its restaurants. The discontinuation of the restaurants lead the Company to abandon its franchise business and shift its focus on the specialty beverage business as described above. As such, the franchise operations business qualified as discontinued operations as it represented a significant strategic shift of the Company’s operations and financial results. In addition, the operations and cash flows of the franchise operations business can be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remaining operations of the Company. The historical statement of operations of the franchise business as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

December 31, 2024 and 2023
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements presented are those of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. (“Fast Casual”, or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, CK Distributing, LLC (“CK”). Fast Casual was originally incorporated on March 23, 2019, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania (PA). On April 13, 2020, the Company re-domiciled in the state of Wyoming, increasing its authorized number common shares available to be issued to 750,000,000 and effectuating a 10-for-1 forward-split of its common stock. During October 2024, Fast Casual effectuated a 4:1 reverse split of its common stock.
CK was incorporated on July 10, 2023 under the laws of the state of Florida to pursue production, market and sale of specialty drink mixes. CK was acquired by Fast Casual during November 2024 as the result of a private party agreement between the respective companies’ majority ownership, whereby, 100% ownership of the CK LLC was transferred to Fast Casual in exchange for a significant shareholder in Fast Casual transferring his personal shares to the former owner of CK.
Fast Casual was incorporated to develop, build, operate and franchise casual eating establishments. All restaurant development, building and operations were discontinued on October 1, 2022. The remaining franchising operations were discontinued during 2024 with the shuttering of the last franchised eating establishment. As such, all balances and activity related to the franchising business have been shown as discontinued operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (see Note 7).
Basis of Presentation
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Fast Casual has elected a calendar year-end.
Cash Equivalents
Fast Casual considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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.
Reclassifications
Presentation of $1,689 in accrued interest as of December 31, 2023 related to the Company’s Cares Act lending was reclassified to present as a separate current liability to conform to the 2024 presentation.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Fast Casual recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Series Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue based on the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation as each performance obligation in a contract is satisfied.
Fast Casual recognizes revenue from continuing operations from the sale of specialty drink mixes. Beverage sales revenue was $3,312 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenue from discontinued operations is from franchising rights to its brand names. Franchising revenue was $22,154 and $65,761 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. (see Note 7).

Leases
During November 2024, Fast Casual entered into a two-year lease of a facility for its beverage operations in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Operating lease assets and liabilities were recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represented the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represented rights to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term were estimated. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
Advertising
Production costs of commercials are expensed in the fiscal period the advertising is first aired while the costs of programming and other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred. These costs are reported as part of general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
Fast Casual records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 515, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. There was no stock based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) and ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying values of cash and prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and notes payable, related party, approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Fast Casual has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Series Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 also requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. ASU 2023-07 was effective January 1, 2024 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU “2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments require that public business entities provide on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities disclose on an annual basis the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions for amounts greater than 5% of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Long Lived Assets
Periodically Fast Casual assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Fast Casual recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Fast Casual presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations for both continuing and discontinued operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There are no outstanding dilutive instruments as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Income Taxes
Fast Casual records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more likely than not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
Fast Casual's financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Fast Casual has accumulated losses since its inception and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about Fast Casual's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
To date, Fast Casual has raised over $1,000,000 and is seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 total through private placements of its common stock. Funds received from the issuance of debt and equity will be used to increase production, marketing and sale of specialty drink mixes and expand brand identity to ultimately achieve profitability. The continuation of Fast Casual as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations that produce positive cash flows. If Fast Casual is not successful, it may be forced to raise additional debt or equity financing.
There can be no assurance that Fast Casual will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of Fast Casual to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 2024, the Company was notified that its only franchisee was ceasing operations at its restaurants. The discontinuation of the restaurants lead the Company to abandon its franchise business and shift its focus on the specialty beverage business as described above. As such, the franchise operations business qualified as discontinued operations as it represented a significant strategic shift of the Company’s operations and financial results. In addition, the operations and cash flows of the franchise operations business can be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remaining operations of the Company. The historical statement of operations of the franchise business as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

Fast Casual files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Pennsylvania. Fast Casual’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 692,851 | $ | 688,303 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (692,851 | ) | (688,303 | ) | ||||
$ | — | $ | — |
The federal income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the following:
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Pre-tax book income (loss) | $ | 14,739 | $ | 2,155 | ||||
Gain on debt extinguishment | (26,183 | ) | — | |||||
Loss on asset impairment | 6,345 | — | ||||||
