HIP CUISINE, INC.
Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hip Cuisine, Inc. (the “Company” or “HIP”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on March 19, 2014. The Company’s sole subsidiary Hip Cuisine, Inc. (“HCP”) was incorporated in Panama on February 24, 2014. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company is an international nutritional value concepts company and global fresh-served food purveyor for the health-conscious consumer with locations in Panama and the State of California, USA operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Rawkin Juice, Inc.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hip Cuisine, Inc. (Panama) and Rawkin Juice Inc.. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.
No impairment loss was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial statements.

From time to time the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that it is adequately insured for its operations and there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Based on our evaluation no other material events have occurred that require disclosure.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of such financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, bad debts, impairment, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable SEC regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements" above.
Plan of Operation
Our Business
Hip Cuisine, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Florida on March 24, 2014. Our United States offices are currently located at 2250 NW 114
th
Ave. Unit 1P, PTY 11020, Miami, FL 33172-3652. Our Panama offices are located at Balboa Boutiques, Ave. Balboa, Local B104, Panama City, Panama. Our telephone number is 011-507-6501-8105.
On September 30, 2014, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Hip Cuisine, Inc., a Panamanian corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Panama on February 24, 2014 ("Hip Panama"), and its sole shareholder, and our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, Natalia Lopera, whereby we acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hip Panama in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, Hip Panama became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company.
Hip Cuisine, Inc. has created a restaurant concept that combines the Health Food restaurant which uses the brand Healthy, Vegan & Raw to identify to the public what it has to offer which is low sodium, low calorie, high in protein dishes and the ingredients are Vegan Friendly, Vegetarian and a full menu with fresh fish, chicken and steak. The vegetables are purchased fresh daily from the local farmers market. We also added, with the restaurant, a full array of "Cold Press Juices & Smoothies". The United States is exploding with Cold Press juice stores to meet the demand of the general public who has moved to a Healthier Diet and who is becoming more conscience of what foods it is consuming.
We made the decision to open the first location in Panama City Panama for several reasons. The main reason was the fact that the Health & Fitness market in Central and South America was growing at a very rapid pace and compared to the United States the Cold Press and Healthy Food restaurants were virtually nonexistent. In fact we know of only four Vegan restaurants in all of Panama City. In addition, Panama City is one of the fastest growing cities in Latin America and with the expansion of the Panama Canal there is a very large international population and they are looking for Healthy alternative than what is currently being offered in Panama. The labor is substantially less yet the prices of the dishes are equal to that of the United States.
We opened for business in July of 2015 after 15 months of construction at the Balboa Boutiques shopping mall located on Ave. Balboa, which is a prime location in Panama City near the financial district and on the water. A major renovation to the "Cinta Costera" along Balboa now offers a biking and jogging trail along with exercise equipment, basketball and tennis courts and this extends for 5 kilometers along Balboa Ave. and continues over the water all the way to the Amador which is Panama City's main marina. Every Sunday they close Ave. Balboa and set up biking events and other events like Yoga classes and more.
In March 2017, we completed the construction and design project of our 2
nd
restaurant in Costa del Este Panama. We expect to open this location in May 2017. This location is 288 square meters, which is much larger than our first location in the Balboa Boutiques shopping center in Panama City. The Costa del Este locationwill be used for our production kitchen where we will prepare the meal packages and juices for the other spoke locations and deliveries.
We entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Rawkin Bliss LLC dba Rawkin Juice of Burbank California www.rawkinjuice.com which closed on April 14, 2017. This will allow us to not only expand our offerings into the US market with an established brand like Rawkin Juice, but we now can offer a Hip Cuisine in areas that a Hip Cuisine “Vegan Friendly” offering would work better than a 100% Vegan offering like that of Rawkin Juice in Burbank California.
We entered into a second “spoke” location for Rawkin Juice located in Santa Monica, CA, and this location is scheduled to open on May 1
st
of 2017. We will produce the products in the production kitchen in Burbank and deliver to the Santa Monica location daily to maintain a 100% Organic, Vegan fresh line of products including Cold Pressed Juices, Smoothies, Desserts, Salads and the Living Gourmet line of Raw Vegan foods.
We have already designed and can order the packaging, labels and bottles for delivery. We currently use a POS system called LAVU and this can handle everything from inventory control, orders, menu and employee payroll. It is a complete system designed for restaurants and is scalable. The only additional cost is for the equipment for the additional restaurants, such as I-Pads, kitchen printer, fiscal printer and cashier I-pad and register, which is approximately $4,500 per location. Then we pay a monthly service fee that is approximately $105 per month.
We currently offer to our customers at both the Balboa Boutiques location and Rawkin Juice in Burbank the ability to purchase one day detox (6 juices) or 3 day detox (18 juices), as well as weekly meal plans. These plans range from $37.50 to $55.00 for the 1 day, $112.50 to $155.00 for the 3 day detox and $150 for the weekly meal plan.
We have budgeted a total cost of $12,000 to complete the website which will allow us to accept online orders for our customers who want deliveries. Currently we use a delivery service to deliver orders, and they charge a delivery fee and pay for the order when they pick up. The Rawkin Juice location in Burbank utilizes several 3
rd
party delivery companies that offer our menu for a fee such as Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Eat 24 and Door Dash. We plan to launch our own application for deliveries in May of 2017, through our online ordering site called www.rawkintogo.com.
Our goals over the next twelve (12) months are to:
|
·
|
Open the second location in Plaza 770 in Costa del Este Panama.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Open a second "spoke" location for Rawkin Juice located in Santa Monica, CA.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Locate and start construction of the "Hub & Spoke" locations. The production kitchens in Burbank and Costa del Este will produce and bottle the juices and smoothies, then deliver to the Spokes and other outlets throughout Panama and California such as local gyms and Health Food stores.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Develop the online ordering system for deliveries through the website www.rawkintogo.com.

Material Commitments
Going Concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, amongst other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the course of business.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth, pay our current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from private sources and/or debt financing.
Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements expressing concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other information and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as additional information is obtained, as more experience is acquired, as our operating environment changes and as new events occur. Our critical accounting policies are listed in the notes to our audited financial statements included in this registration Statement.
Future Financings.
We will continue to rely on equity sales of the Company's Common Stock in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned operations
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The Company has no 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.
