Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements.

Our revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural disaster, the inability of our company to insure against certain risks, inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates, and changing government regulations domestically and internationally affecting our products and businesses.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview and Recent Developments

Hometown International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. The Company is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company ("Your Hometown Deli"), we operate a delicatessen store that features "home-style" sandwiches and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering place. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company's first and only store is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

We were forced to temporarily close the delicatessen due to the stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of New Jersey on March 9, 2020, resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19. The delicatessen was re-opened on September 8, 2020, with a "soft opening" to a limited audience, prior to its "Grand Re-Opening" to the public on September 22, 2020. The temporarily closure and other effects of COVID-19 had a material impact on our business during 2020. It is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business in 2021.

The delicatessen was temporarily closed, beginning on August 1, 2021, while we changed management of Your Hometown Deli and hired a new operations manager for the store in Paulsboro, New Jersey. The delicatessen reopened on September 11, 2021, with increased staff and expanded hours.





                                       2




Going forward, we intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. Our objectives discussed below are extremely general and are not intended to restrict discretion of our board of directors to search for and enter into potential business opportunities or to reject any such opportunities. We have no particular business combination in mind and have not entered into any negotiations regarding such a combination. Neither our officers nor any of our affiliates has engaged in any negotiations with any representative of any company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or combination between our company and such other company. We have not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction.

We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Further, we may acquire or combine with a venture that is in its preliminary or early stages of development, one that is already in operation or one that is in a more mature stage of its corporate existence. Accordingly, business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our executive officers and directors, none of whom is a business analyst. Therefore, it is anticipated that outside consultants or advisors may be utilized to assist us in the search for and analysis of qualified target companies.





Results of Operations



Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

We generated revenue of $2,387 and $1,894 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in revenue is mainly attributed to an increase in customer's visits following the re-opening of our delicatessen as a result of the easing of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our total cost and expenses were $106,733 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $179,872 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The total cost and expenses decreased by approximately 41% primarily attributable to a decrease of $120,000 in consulting fees paid to related parties during the three months ended September 30, 2020, offset by an increase of $22,500 in consulting fees paid during the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $15,040 in professional fees attributable to fees paid for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, an increase in food costs of $3,079, an increase in labor costs of $1,080, and an increase of $5,361 in general and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative fees was attributable to fees required in connection with filings with the SEC and an increase in general business expenses.

We incurred a loss from operations of $104,346 and $177,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in loss from operations is mainly attributable to a decrease in total costs and expenses, slightly offset by our increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2020.

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,000 resulting from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority grant received from the NJEDA Small Business Emergency Assistance Phase 2 Grant assistance program in light of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Interest income - related parties decreased by $37 to $32 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $69 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to interest on notes receivable - related parties as a result of a decreased note receivable due to repayment.

Interest expense was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Due to the described factors above, we had a net loss of $104,314 and $176,909 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest income - related parties increased by $4,643 to $4,903 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $260 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to interest on notes receivable - related parties as a result of increased note receivable.

Interest expense was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $9,091 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was due to a lower interest expense on loans as a result of a decrease in debt outstanding.

The Company is slowly regaining its customer base since re-opening.

There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues to continue our operations. The Company expects the growth rate and sales to be volatile in the near term.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in-kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The standard states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenues from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.





                                       5





Leases


The Company accounts for lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842, "Leases".

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as operating lease assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do 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, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.
