1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Franchise
Holdings International, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2,
2003. FSGI Corporation was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 15, 1997,
and in a reorganization on December 21, 1998 with another corporation named The
Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc. (originally incorporated in Florida on May
23, 1996) changed its name to TMAN Global.Com, Inc. Franchise Holdings
International, Inc. and TMAN Global.Com, Inc. consummated a merger on April 30,
2003 whereby Franchise Holdings International, Inc. exchanged 1 common share for
all the 90,861 outstanding common shares of TMAN Global.Com, Inc. The purpose of
the transaction was a change of domicile. Pursuant to the merger terms,
Franchise Holdings International, Inc. was the surviving corporation and TMAN
Global.Com, Inc. ceased to exist. The accompanying financial statements include
the activities of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. and its predecessor
corporations, which are collectively referred to herein as the
“Company”. Currently the Company is engaged in evaluating franchise
opportunities, and is considered to be in the development stage.
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.
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.
Cash and cash
equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.
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.

1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued):
Property and
equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods
over each item's estimated useful life.
Revenue
recognition
Revenue
is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms.
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.
Net income (loss) per
share
The net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock
options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's
preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect
would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per
share.
Financial
instruments
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the
accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.
Fiscal
year
The
Company employs a fiscal year ending September 30.

Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with ASC 360 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.
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.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF
OPERATION
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, Item 1 in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This item contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from
those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference
contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our
industry, management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by our
management. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”,
“plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, variations of such words, and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are
difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking
statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise. However, readers should
carefully review the risk factors set forth herein and in other reports and
documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, particularly the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Overview
and History
We were
originally incorporated as FSGI corporation under the laws of the
State of Florida in 1997 as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring
Financial Standards Group, Inc. (FSG). That year FSGI Corporation acquired FSG,
a Florida company organized in October 1989, to assist credit unions in
performing financial services. FSG offered financial services to credit unions
as a wholly-owned subsidiary until its sale in January 2000.
On
December 21, 1998, FSGI Corporation, at the time a publicly traded company
trading on the OTCBB as FSGI, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Martial
Arts Network, Inc. The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc., a company organized
under the laws of the State of Florida, was developed in 1996 by its parent
company The Martial Arts Network, Inc. as an electronic forum dedicated to
promoting education and awareness of martial arts through its web site. Upon
issuance of shares, and options to purchase shares of FSGI Corporation's common
stock to The Martial Arts Network, Inc., that company became the controlling
stockholder of FSGI Corporation.
TMANglobal.com,
Inc. ("TMAN"), a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida, as
the result of a merger between FSGI Corporation and The Martial Arts Network
On-Line, Inc. on December 21, 1998.
Franchise
Holdings was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2,
2003. Franchise Holdings International, Inc. completed a merger with
TMAN Global.com Inc. on April 30, 2003. This merger was in the nature
of a change in domicile of the Florida corporation to the State of Nevada, as
well as the acquisition of a new business. Since the inception
of our current business operations, we have been in the business of
acquiring franchise, license and distribution rights in new and
emerging growth companies.
We have
not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceeding.
Results
of Operations
The
following discussion involves our results of operations for the three months
ending March 31, 2010 and for the six months ending March 31, 2010. This
compares to the three months ending March 31, 2009 and for the six months ending
March 31, 2009.
Comparing
our operations, we had revenues of $-0- for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and $-0- for the three months ending March 31, 2009. We had $-0- in
revenues for the six months ending March 31, 2010 and $-0- in revenues for the
six months ending March 31, 2009.
-
12 -
Operating
expenses, which include general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 were $3,277 and
$12,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the six months ending
March 31, 2010 operating expenses were $8,799 and $13,037 for the six
months ending March 31, 2009.
The major
components of operating expenses include salaries, general and administrative,
professional fees, and telephone expenses.
We
believe that operating expenses in current operations should remain fairly
constant as our revenues develop. Each additional sale or service and
correspondingly the gross profit of such sale or service have minimal offsetting
operating expenses. Thus, additional sales could become profit at a higher
return on sales rate as a result of not needing to expand operating expenses at
the same pace.
We had a
net loss of $3,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $12,322 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. We had a net loss of $8,799 for
the six months ending March 31, 2010 and net profit of $371,791 for the six
months ending March 31, 2009.
Our
profit of $371,791 for the six months ending March 31, 2009 was based upon the
forgiveness of debt. In December 2008 we settled $55,084 in accrued payables for
$5,100 in cash provided by our President, eliminated $15,403 in payables as part
of a note settlement, and eliminated $5,481 in payables believed by us to be no
longer collectible by the debtors due to statutory time limits, resulting in a
gain from debt relief of $70,868. Also in December 2008 we settled
$510,339 in notes payable and accrued interest for $25,650 in cash and 20,000 of
our common shares, both provided by our President. We recorded gain on debt
relief of $313,960 for the $339,610 in debt settled for $25,650 in cash, and
recorded $170,729 in paid in capital from debt relief for the debt settled for
20,000 of our President’s common shares because our President donated the use of
the shares to us for debt settlement. In addition, earlier in November 2008 we
settled an outstanding stock subscription payable of $18,000 for a further 6,000
of our common shares provided by our President, recording $18,000 in paid in
capital from that transaction. At the end of December 2008 our President
contributed $57,905 for working capital advances to us.
We plan
to make every effort to keep operating expenses constant as our revenues
develop. Each additional sales or service and correspondingly the gross profit
of such sale or service should have minimal offsetting operating expenses. Thus,
additional sales could become profit at a higher return on sales rate as a
result of not needing to expand operating expenses at the same
pace.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, we had cash or cash equivalents of $588. As of March
31, 2009, we had cash or cash equivalents of $-0-
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $588 for the period ended March 31, 2010,
compared to cash used for or provided by operating activities of $25,650 for the
period ended March 31, 2009. The activities for the period ended March 31, 2009
were all related to our debt relief.
Cash
flows used or provided by investing activities was $-0- for the period ended
March 31, 2010, compared to cash used for investing activities of $-0- for the
period ended March 31, 2009.
Cash
flows used for financing activities was $-0- for the period ended March 31,
2010, compared to cash used for financing activities of $25,650 for the period
ended March 31, 2009.
We
believe that we have sufficient capital in the short term for our current level
of operations. This is because we believe that we can attract sufficient product
sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to
become profitable in our operations. We can control the substantial part of our
expenses by foregoing the hiring of extra personnel and plan to use this to
adjust our expenses. If we are unsuccessful in adequately adjusting our
expenses, which we do not foresee at this time, we may need additional
financing of some type, which we do not now possess, to continue our
operations.
-
13 -
Additional
resources would be needed to expand into additional locations, which we have no
plans to do at this time. We do not anticipate needing to raise additional
capital resources in the next twelve months.
Our
principal source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in
revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also
business activity is closely tied to the economy of Denver and the U.S. economy.
In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will
be to seek to develop clients and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in
expanding our client base and generating sufficient sales, we will become
profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build
our company in any manner which will be successful.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
We do not
expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash
flows.
We do not
expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and
services.

ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and
15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act), our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
applicable time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
This
report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Identified

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are
no legal proceedings, to which we are a party, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
We
do not have a sustained history of profits in our operations and there is no
guarantee we will ever become profitable.
We were
formed in 1997. We began our present operations in 2003. From the time we began
operations until the present, we operated at a loss. We have never been
profitable. Since we have no history of profitability over a sustained period of
time, we have limited financial results upon which you may judge our potential.
While we do not expect to continue to incur losses in the near future, there can
be no guarantee that we will be able to sustain our profitable operations. We
have experienced in the past and may experience in the future
under-capitalization, shortages, setbacks and many of the problems, delays and
expenses encountered by any business, many of which are beyond our control.
These include:
●
|
Lack of capital for operations, |
●
|
Substantial
delays and expenses related to testing and development of new
products,
|
●
|
Development
and marketing problems encountered in connection with our new and existing
products,
|
●
|
Competition
from larger and more established companies, and
|
●
|
Lack
of market acceptance of our
products.
|
Because we had incurred continuing
losses from our operations, our accountants have expressed doubts about our
ability to continue as a going concern.
For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, our accountants have expressed doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of limited assets, and
operating losses since inception. Based upon current plans, we expect
to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring
expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect our operating costs
to range between $20,000 and $30,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2010. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient
revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to
generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.
Because
of our lack of a profitable history and the fact that we are subject to intense
competition, any investment in us would be inherently risky.
Because
we are a company with no history of profitability and activity
in a business which is extremely competitive and subject to numerous risks, any
investment in us would be inherently risky. Substantially all of our
competitors have greater financial resources and longer operating histories than
we have and can be expected to compete within the business in which we engage
and intend to engage. There can be no assurance that we will have the necessary
resources to become or remain competitive. We are subject to the risks, which
are common to all companies with a lack of profitable history. Therefore,
investors should consider an investment in us to be an extremely risky
venture.
We
remain at risk regarding our continued ability to conduct successful operations.
As a result, the investment of our shareholders to be impaired or
lost.
The
results of our operations will depend, among other things, upon our ability to
successfully develop and to market our products. Further, it is possible that
our operations will not continue to generate income sufficient to meet operating
expenses or will generate income and capital appreciation, if any, at rates
lower than those anticipated or necessary to sustain ourselves. Our operations
may be affected by many factors, some known by us, some unknown, and some, which
are beyond our control. Any of these problems, or a combination thereof, could
have a materially adverse effect on our viability as an entity and might cause
the investment of our shareholders to be impaired or
lost.
-

While we
have limited products, the opportunity for development of additional products
may take longer than anticipated and could be additionally delayed. Therefore,
there can be no assurance of timely completion and introduction of improved
products on a cost-effective basis, or that such products, if introduced, will
achieve market acceptance such that, in combination with existing products, they
will sustain us or allow us to achieve profitable operations.
For the foreseeable future, our
success will depend upon our management.
Our
success is dependent upon the decision making of our director and executive
officer. This individual, Mr. A. J. Boisdrenghien, intends to commit as much
time as necessary to our business. The loss of Mr. Boisdrenghien could have a
materially adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment
agreements with our Chief Executive Officer. We have not obtained key man life
insurance on the live of our officer and director.
Our
stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or
above your initial sale price.
There has
been, and continues to be, a limited public market for our common stock.
Although our common stock trades in the Pink Sheets, an active trading market
for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase
shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above
the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate
significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our
control, including the following:
●
|
Actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
|
●
|
changes
in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in
line with such estimates;
|
●
|
changes
in market valuations of other mortgage brokerage companies, particularly
those that sell products similar to as ours;
|
●
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions,
strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
●
|
introduction
of technologies or product enhancements that reduce the need for our
products; and
|
●
|
departures
of key personnel.
|
Our
stock has a limited public trading market.
While our
common stock currently trades, our market is limited and sporadic. We cannot
assure that such a market will improve in the future. We cannot assure that an
investor will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if
at all. If a more active market does develop, the price may be highly volatile.
The factors, which we have discussed in this document, may have a significant
impact on the market price of the common stock. It is also possible that the
relatively low price of our common stock may keep many brokerage firms from
engaging in transactions in our common stock.
The
over-the-counter market for stock such as ours has had extreme price and volume
fluctuations.
The
securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations
and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our
industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions
and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect
on the market price of our common stock.
-
16 -
The
market for our common stock is subject to rules relating to low-priced
stock.
Our
common stock is currently listed for trading in the Pink Sheets and is subject
to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In general, the penny stock rules
apply to non-NASDAQ or non-national stock exchange companies whose common stock
trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less
than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more
years). Our tangible net worth was below the minimum requirement as of September
30, 2008. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny
stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain
documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors
with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk
disclosure document, quote information, broker’s commission information and
rights and remedies available to investors in penny stocks. Many brokers have
decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the penny
stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as
market makers in such securities is limited. The “penny stock rules,” therefore,
may have an adverse impact on the market for our common stock.
The lack of a broker or dealer to
create or maintain a market in our stock could adversely impact the price and
liquidity of our securities.
We have
no agreement with any broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our
securities and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any
market makers. Thus, no broker or dealer will have an incentive to make a market
for our stock. The lack of a market maker for our securities could adversely
influence the market for and price of our securities, as well as your ability to
dispose of, or to obtain accurate information about, and/or quotations as to the
price of, our securities.
Nevada law and our
Articles of Incorporation protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits,
which could make it difficult for us to recover damages from them in the event
of a lawsuit.
Nevada
law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our
stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as
directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors
and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the
fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have
the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our
directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The
indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend
our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their
negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
We
do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock.
We have
not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely
that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for
further development and expansion.
