NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Creative Learning Corporation (“CLC”), formerly B2 Health, Inc., was incorporated March 8, 2006 in the State of Delaware. BFK Franchise Company LLC (“BFK”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2009. Effective July 2, 2010, CLC was acquired by BFK in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. CLC concurrently changed its name from B2 Health, Inc. to Creative Learning Corporation. The financial statements represent the activity of BFK from May 19, 2009 forward, and the consolidated activity of BFKF and CLC from July 2, 2010 forward. BFK and CLC are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company".
In addition to the accounts of CLC and BFK, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CLC’s subsidiaries, BFK Development Company LLC (“BFKD”) from November 25, 2009 (BFKD’s inception) forward, CI Franchise Company LLC (“CI”) from September 14, 2012 (CI’s inception) forward, and Sew Fun Franchise Company LLC (SF) from January 8, 2013 (SF’s inception) forward.
Creative Learning Corporation operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries BFK FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC, CI FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC AND SEW FUN FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC under the trade names Bricks 4 Kidz®, Challenge Island®, and Sew Fun Studios™ respectively, that offer children's enrichment and education franchises.
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.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
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.
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, 2014 or September 30, 2013.
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, 2014 and September 30, 2013 the Company had $9,402 and $10,000, respectively, 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.
Since the Company’s franchises are primarily a mobile concept and do not require finding locations or construction, the franchisees can begin operations as soon as they leave training. The franchise fees are fully collectible as of the date of the signing of the franchise agreement, but the franchise fees are not recognized as revenue until the last day they complete training when substantially all of the services required by the franchise agreement have been provided by the Company. Royalty fees are recognized as earned.
As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $204,000 and $35,900, respectively, in unearned revenue for franchise fees collected but for which franchisees had not completed training.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
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.
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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a tax provision of $388,849 and $-0- respectively on its pretax income of $1,033,350 and $85,906 respectively. The tax provision does not include any tax provision or benefit for certain foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses that are not recognized in any tax jurisdiction
The tax provision for the six month period ended March 31, 2014 is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires management to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. During the year, management regularly updates forecasted annual pretax results. To the extent that actual fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 pretax results for income or loss vary from estimate, the actual tax provision or benefit recognized for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 could be materially different from the forecasted amount used to estimate the tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the six month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $363,607 and $194,625, respectively.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Net earnings (loss) 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
Accounting Standards Codification (“820-10”) defines fair value as 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:
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.
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.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
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.
Notes and Other Receivables
In July of 2013, the Company issued a $70,000 loan to a related party company, personally guaranteed by the related party, at 6% interest, monthly interest only payments and fully due and payable by July 1, 2015. The Note is convertible up to the maturity date to unrestricted shares in the related party company for any unpaid balance at $0.35 per share.
At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had notes receivables from related parties of $70,000 and $70,000, respectively.
At March 31, 2014 the Company held certain notes and other receivables totaling $175,622, of which $154,162 was for extended payment terms of Franchise Fees, generally non-interest bearing notes with monthly payments, payable within one to two years, and Foreign Tax Credits of $21,460. These receivables are reported in the accompanying financial statements as current and long term other receivables in the accompanying financial statements.
At September 30, 2013, the Company had notes and other receivables of $131,792.
Notes Payables
In September 2012 the Company issued a non-interest bearing promissory note of $40,000 to a related party for consulting services payable by the issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 the remaining balance on this promissory note was $20,000 and $20,000 respectively. This liability is reported in the accompanying financial statements as notes payable, related party, and will be paid with the issuance of the remaining 20,000 shares during the remainder of fiscal year 2014.
In December of 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to purchase three territories from a Nevada franchisee. As part of this settlement, the Company agreed to two non-interest bearing notes, payable in monthly installments over the next eighteen months. As of March 31, 2014 the remaining balance for these notes was $81,364 and is reported in the accompanying financial statements as current and long term other notes payables.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
On March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 the Company owed $5,315 and $8,857, respectively, in deferred commission payments, non-interest bearing, payable in monthly payments, on deferred payment schedules related to extended payment terms of Franchise Fees.
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock awards under ASC 718. Equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued. The Company accounts for non-employee stock awards under ACS 505-50. Equity instruments awarded 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
Between April 1, 2014 and May 12, 2014 BFK Franchise Company, sold 17 new US franchises and 5 new international franchises. During this period CI Franchise Company sold 2 new US franchises and one Master Franchise in the Philippines.
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statement other than the events described above.

The Company collects and allocates 2% of the franchisee gross revenues to a marketing fund, managed by the Company, which is used for the national branding of the Company’s concepts to benefit the franchisees. The marketing fund amounts are accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet and the actual collections are deposited into a marketing fund bank account. Expenses pertaining to the marketing fund activities are paid from the marketing fund and reduce the liability account. The Marketing Fund liability is actually offset with the matching amount of cash in the Marketing Fund bank account.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonable likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Outlook
The Company saw another year of significant growth in the sales of franchises in fiscal year 2013 expanding from 210 to 395 franchises sold with its two brands in operation, resulting in increased revenues from franchise fees, including international growth and exposure. That trend continued for the first six months for the 2014 fiscal year setting a record in new sales revenues and adding an additional 117 franchises, both domestic and internationally. In addition, with franchisees being in the system longer, there were significant increases in royalty fees.
As a result of this growth, the Company experienced a significant increase in liquidity and expects all of these trends to continue through this fiscal year.
By the end of the 2013 fiscal year, the Company had used all of its startup, tax net loss carryovers, and will be liable for income taxes on reported net income.
Other than as disclosed above, the Company does not know of any significant changes in its expected sources and uses of cash.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s Principal Executive and Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
