CREATIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

(formerly B2 Health, Inc.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Creative Learning Corporation (formerly B2 Health, Inc.) was incorporated March 8, 2006 in Delaware. BFK Franchise Company LLC was formed in Nevada on May 19, 2009. Effective July 2, 2010 Creative Learning Corporation was acquired by BFK Franchise Company LLC in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Creative Learning Corporation concurrently changed its name from B2 Health, Inc. to Creative Learning Corporation.. The Company, primarily through franchises, offers educational programs designed to teach principles of engineering, architecture and physics to children using Lego ® bricks. The Company may also engage in any other business that is permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.

Fiscal year

The Company employs a fiscal year ending September 30.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have any effect on the prior year net loss.

CREATIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 or September 30, 2012.

Accounts receivable

The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 the Company had $12,000 in its allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, currently set at five years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis after services have been performed under contract terms, the service price to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Initial franchise fees are recognized upon the commencement of operations by the franchisee, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Any unearned income represents franchise fees received for which the Company has not completed its initial obligations under the franchise agreement. Such obligations generally consist of site location assistance and training. Royalties and marketing fees are recognized as earned.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

CREATIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Income tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards 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.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the six month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $194,625 and $106,383 respectively.

Net income per share

ASC 260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. When the Company is in loss position, no dilutive effect is considered.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments.

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

CREATIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active market; 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 (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Note Payables

As of September 30, 2012, the Company owed a $40,000, non-interest bearing promissory note to a related party for Consulting Services payable in 2013 by issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During this period between October 2012 and March 2013, 20,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1.00 per share, were issued in partial payment of this note payable.

Stock based compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Subsequent Events

In April of 2013 the Company, under BFK Franchise Company, sold 16 new US franchises, 3 new franchises in Canada, and one Master Franchise in Malaysia.

As of April 30, 2013, the first Corporate Creativity Center in Coral Springs converted to a mobile concept and the Company has been released from the lease for the Center retail space, reducing the Company’s contractual obligations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.

Results of Operations

The Company was formed in March 2006 under the name B2 Health, Inc. to design, manufacture and sell chiropractic tables and beds. The Company generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned its business plan in March 2008.

On July 2, 2010 the Company acquired BFK Franchise Company, LLC (“BFK”), a Nevada limited liability company formed in May 2009, under a Stock Exchange Agreement with the members of BFK for 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On July 7, 2010, shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation changing the name of the Company to Creative Learning Corporation (“CLC”).

BFK, which conducts business under the trade name, BRICKS 4 KIDS®, offers programs designed to teach principles of engineering, architecture and physics to children ages 3-12+ using LEGO® bricks. BFK provides classes (both in school and after school), special events programs and day camps that are designed to enhance and enrich the traditional school curriculum, trigger young children’s lively imaginations and build self-confidence. BFK’s programs foster creativity and provide a unique atmosphere for students to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills by designing and building machines, catapults, pyramids, race cars, buildings and numerous other systems and devices using LEGO® bricks.

BFK operates through Corporate Creativity Centers and franchisees.

A Corporate Creativity Center is a store-front location, owned and operated by BFK, where BFK coordinates in school field trips, after school classes, parties, camps and other programs – as well as the retail sales of LEGO® merchandise.

BFK sold its first franchise in September 2009. Since that time BFK has:

·	opened two Corporate Creativity Centers in Florida; and

·	sold 306 additional franchises.

As of April 30, 2013 BFK, through its franchises, was operating in 39 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 11 foreign countries.

On September 14, 2012, the Company also formed CI Franchise Company LLC (“CI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary for purpose of operating a second franchise concept known as Challenge Island®, a service business within a defined exclusive territory, providing unique challenge-based programs designed to foster critical and creative thinking skills, problem solving methodology, and core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) principles in children ages 3-13+.

The Company is in the process registering CI with state franchising regulators, and as of April 30, 2013, CI has completed registration in the State of California.

On January 8, 2013 the Company also formed Sew Fun Franchise Company LLC (“SF”) as a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of operating a third franchise concept known as Sew Fun. Sew Fun is a brick and mortar business featuring stores/studios located in strip malls and offering after-school classes, camps and birthday parties for children ages 8-13+, as well as adult classes, in fashion design.

The Company is in the process of registering SF with state franchising regulators, and as of April of April 30, 2013, no state registrations have been completed.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the Company include the operations of BFK, CI and SF.
