FAST CASUAL CONCEPTS, INC.

What they do

The company, originally a restaurant franchisor, divested its restaurant operations in 2024 and acquired CK Distribution (bloody mary mix) in November 2024, but divested CK in June 2025. It incorporated GDS Lumina, Inc. in September 2025 to provide digital marketing services. Current operations consist of providing digital marketing services, including email, pay-per-click advertising, and corporate branding.

Revenue drivers

• Digital marketing services — The sole revenue source, recognized from providing services to clients. Revenue was $55,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
• Contract labor — Costs related to delivering digital marketing services, which drove operating expenses to $65,023 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recent performance

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $55,800, all from digital marketing services, versus $18,500 in the prior-year period. However, operating expenses were $65,023, resulting in a net loss from continuing operations. The company recognized net losses of $9,394 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $37,028 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Annual 2025 revenue was $65,700 with net income of $792, but operating cash flow was negative at -$62,254. As of June 30, 2026, total assets were $10,681, total liabilities $176,851, and shareholder equity was -$166,170.

Strategy

Management has pivoted exclusively to marketing services through GDS Lumina, combining ready-made products and client relationships to generate marketing and advertising revenue. The company is developing integrated products that complement existing strategies such as email, pay-per-click, and digital marketing. It is exploring relationships with distributors in specific industries, including an undisclosed auto industry entity, under a non-disclosure agreement. The prior restaurant and specialty beverage operations have been discontinued.

Risks

• Going concern — At June 30, 2026, the company had only $10,681 in total assets and a $2,058,549 accumulated deficit, with insufficient liquidity to fund operations for the next 12 months.
• Need for additional capital — Management estimates it will need to raise between $1,000,000 and $25,000,000 over the next two years, but there is no assurance financing will be available.
• Key person dependence — The company is highly dependent on CEO George Athanasiadis; his departure would harm the business.
• Limited trading market — Stock trades on OTCIQ with limited liquidity, making it difficult for investors to sell shares at a profit or at all.

Outlook

Management expects to continue incurring losses for the immediate future and will need additional equity or debt financing until achieving profitability. There is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Capital requirements will depend on revenue generation and financing availability.
