−Removed: the interruption of sales of new franchises as a result of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
−Removed: The increased termination

−Removed: comparison as a result of the acceleration of deferred franchise sale revenues.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: royalty fees revenue decreased to approximately $774,000 in fiscal year 2021 from approximately $1,448,000 in the prior year, a
−Removed: decrease of $674,000 (47%), primarily due to an increasing number of non-performing franchisees.
−Removed: Marketing fund revenue decreased
−Removed: approximately $130,000 in the year ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, as the Company elected not

−Removed: in fiscal year 2021, down from a net income of approximately $620,000 the prior year, a decrease of approximately $295,000.
−Removed: in net income was primarily due to the decline in revenues in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020, which was primarily due to the reduced
−Removed: level of royalty revenues, marketing fund fees, and technology fees from active franchisees which were a direct result of the adverse
−Removed: impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our franchisees’ operations.
−Removed: As a result of challenges
−Removed: faced by our Learning Business, in December 2021, our board elected to change the business focus of the Company by entering into

September 30,
−Removed: Item Description
−Removed: Initial franchise fees
−Removed: Marketing fund revenue
−Removed: Technology fees
−Removed: Merchandise sales
−Removed: Total Revenue
−Removed: The primary cause
−Removed: of the slight increase in initial franchise fees was due to a higher level of acceleration of deferred revenues resulting from
−Removed: an increase in the termination of non-performing franchisees in fiscal 2021, which was offset by a lower average level of deferred
−Removed: revenues attributable to terminated franchise agreements in fiscal 2021.
−Removed: The primary cause of the decrease in royalties and technology
−Removed: fees was due to the fewer franchises paying royalties and technology fees as a result of the termination of non-performing franchisees
−Removed: from the system, and the interruption of normal operation at remaining franchises because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business of our franchisees, we voluntarily elected to cease pursuing collections of
−Removed: our marketing fees from our franchisees in March 2020, which continued for all of fiscal 2021.
−Removed: During fiscal 2021 we were able to sell our Bricks 4 Kidz® supply kits
−Removed: that were on hand (purchased and expensed in prior years), which resulted in an increase in merchandise sales with no related cost of
−Removed: goods sold recorded.
−Removed: Operating Expenses
−Removed: Total operating expenses
−Removed: for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $1,870,000 and $2,453,000, respectively, a decrease
−Removed: of approximately $583,000.
−Removed: Fiscal Year Ended September 30,
−Removed: Item Description
−Removed: Increase/ Decrease
−Removed: Franchise commissions
−Removed: Salaries, payroll taxes & stock-based compensation
−Removed: General advertising
−Removed: Franchisee marketing
−Removed: Professional, legal & consulting fees
−Removed: Bad debt expense
−Removed: All other G&A expenses
−Removed: Total Operating Expenses
−Removed: The changes in significant operating expenses
−Removed: are explained as follows:
−Removed: Franchise commissions
−Removed: remained relatively unchanged primarily as a result of flat franchise sales.
−Removed: The Company incurred
−Removed: salaries, payroll expenses and stock-based compensation for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately
−Removed: $452,000 and $614,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $161,000, or 26%.
−Removed: The decrease in total payroll expenses is primarily
−Removed: due to the reduction of both employee headcount and remaining salaries.
−Removed: The Company paid
−Removed: general advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $46,000 and $81,000, respectively,
−Removed: a decrease of approximately $35,000, or 43%.
−Removed: The decrease related to lower levels of advertising due to cost cutting measures.
−Removed: No franchisee marketing
−Removed: was paid out of the marketing fund using funds collected from franchisees as per the terms of their franchise agreements.
−Removed: was because the Company did not collect any marketing funds during the year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: The Company paid
−Removed: professional, legal and consulting fees for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $424,000 and $566,000,
−Removed: respectively, a decrease of approximately $142,000, or 25%.
−Removed: The decrease in professional, legal and consulting fees is primarily
−Removed: due to the settlement of two legal disputes during fiscal 2021, and fact that the remaining material litigation matter was in an
−Removed: inactive status as a result of COVID-19 and ongoing settlement discussions.
−Removed: Bad debt expense for the fiscal
−Removed: years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $(49,000) and $350,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $398,000,
−Removed: During the year ended September 30, 2021 several receivables deemed uncollectible in the prior year were collected causing a
−Removed: credit to bad debt expense.
−Removed: All other general
−Removed: and administrative expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $698,000 and $423,000, respectively,
−Removed: an increase of approximately $276,000, or 65%.
−Removed: The change in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 was primarily the result of
−Removed: a loss on legal settlements of $290,000 incurred in fiscal 2021.
−Removed: Absent the legal settlement, all other general and administrative
−Removed: expenses were relatively flat year to year.
−Removed: and Capital Resources
−Removed: During the current year, the Company
−Removed: had net income of approximately $325,000 and has sufficient cash on hand to cover expenses for the next 12 months, provided the Company
−Removed: only operates the Learning Business for the next 12 months.
−Removed: However, the Company has entered into agreements to acquire DIA and dispose
−Removed: of the Learning Business, and if those agreements are consummated the Company’s liquidity will be determined in reference to DIA’s
−Removed: profitability and capital needs instead.
−Removed: The COVID-19 outbreak
−Removed: has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread to the United States and many other parts of the world
−Removed: and has adversely affected our business operations, employee availability, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow and the
−Removed: length of such impacts are uncertain.
−Removed: The outbreak of COVID-19
−Removed: continues to affect the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have and will
−Removed: continue to adversely affect our business operations.
−Removed: It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic as the situation continues to evolve.
−Removed: The spread of COVID-19
−Removed: has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including warning against congregating
−Removed: in heavily populated areas without masks, vaccinations and testing, such as malls and shopping centers.
−Removed: Among the precautions was
−Removed: the cessation of in-person learning at a substantial portion of the schools in the United States, which has adversely impacted
−Removed: our royalty revenue from franchisees and our ability to sell new franchises.
−Removed: There is significant uncertainty around the breadth
−Removed: and duration of these school closures and other business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S.
−Removed: global economy.
−Removed: Many public schools resumed some or all in person learning in the Fall of 2021, but many have since reverted back
−Removed: to remote learning with the advent of the Omicron strain of COVID-19 in December 2021.
−Removed: The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our
−Removed: results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that
−Removed: may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact.
−Removed: We have asked some of our
−Removed: corporate employees whose jobs allow them to work remotely to do so a few days a week for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Such precautionary
−Removed: measures could create operational challenges, as we adjust to a remote workforce, which could adversely impact our business.
−Removed: We had cash flows
−Removed: used in operating activities of approximately $75,000 for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash flows used in operating
−Removed: activities of approximately $306,000 for the year ended September 30, 2020.
−Removed: The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities
−Removed: for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to the year ended September 30, 2020 relates primarily to the successful collection
−Removed: of receivables in the current year that had been allowed for in the prior year and increases in accrued liabilities in fiscal 2021.
−Removed: We had cash flows
−Removed: used in investing activities of approximately $18,000 for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash flows provided by
−Removed: investing activities of approximately $94,000 for the year ended September 30, 2020.
−Removed: The decrease in cash flows provided by investing
−Removed: activities was primarily due to a reduction in assets held for sale as we completed the liquidation of unneeded real estate assets
−Removed: in the 2020 fiscal year and the purchase of the intangible assets of Bricks4Schoolz, LLC in 2021.
−Removed: During the fiscal years ended
−Removed: September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased for cash property and equipment totaling approximately $3,100 and $0, respectively.
−Removed: We had $0 cash flows
−Removed: provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities
−Removed: of $120,000 for the year ended September 30, 2020.
−Removed: The decrease in cash flows provided financing activities was primarily due to
−Removed: receipt of a Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted
−Removed: March 27, 2020 in the amount of $119,980 in fiscal 2020.
−Removed: The loan, which was in the form of a note dated April 24, 2020 issued
−Removed: by the Company, matures on April 23, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on October 23,
−Removed: The note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
−Removed: Funds from the loan may
−Removed: only be used for payroll costs, cost used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities and interest
−Removed: on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020.
−Removed: Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven
−Removed: if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.
−Removed: The Company used the entire loan amount for qualifying
−Removed: expenses, and expects the loan to be forgiven, and therefore has not recorded any accrued interest on the loan.
−Removed: During the first
−Removed: half of fiscal 2020, the Company temporarily suspended domestic franchise offers and sales of Bricks 4 Kidz® and Sew Fun Studios®
−Removed: franchises in compliance with FTC Franchise Rule, Section 436.7(a) due to delays in completion of the Company’s fiscal year
−Removed: 2018 and 2019 consolidated audited financial statements.
−Removed: In addition, in the second half of fiscal 2020 the Company’s sales
−Removed: of new franchises were hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: The Company obtained approval to offer and sell new franchises in
−Removed: many jurisdictions in fiscal 2021;
−Removed: however, new sales continued to be hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: The Company is dependent
−Removed: upon both franchise sales and royalty fees to continue current business operations and liquidity.
−Removed: Contractual Obligations
−Removed: On October 21, 2021,
−Removed: the Company leased approximately 2,480 square feet of office space at 1637 S.
−Removed: Main Street, Milpitas, CA 94035 for its corporate

−Removed: The Company is obligated to pay base rent of $4,588 per month in the
−Removed: first year, $4,726 per month in the second year, and $4,867 per month in the last month, plus a pro rata share of common area expenses.
−Removed: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
−Removed: The Company does
−Removed: not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the
−Removed: Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
−Removed: Related Party Transactions
−Removed: On or about December
−Removed: 6, 2019, Christopher Rego and Rod Whiton (the “Solicitors”), prior to their appointments as officers or directors of
−Removed: the Company, commenced a consent solicitation to the shareholders of the Company and on February 5, 2020, the Company and the Solicitors
−Removed: entered into an agreement to settle their dispute over the consent solicitation.
−Removed: The settlement resulted in the Company paying
−Removed: $10,000 as reimbursement for certain costs that they incurred related to the consent solicitation, the Company agreeing to appoint
−Removed: Whiton to the board, and the Company’s agreeing to appoint Mr.
−Removed: Rego as chief executive officer, among other
−Removed: The Company ultimately paid a total of $20,000 in costs incurred by Messrs.
−Removed: Rego and Whiton in relation to the consent
−Removed: solicitation.
−Removed: Bart Mitchell resigned
−Removed: as President of the Company on June 8, 2020 at which time he received a severance package of $50,000.
−Removed: Additionally, during the
−Removed: year ended September 30, 2020, Mr.
−Removed: Mitchell no longer wanted his 279,406 shares, therefore, he returned them to the Company for no
−Removed: consideration and the Company cancelled them.
−Removed: Christopher Rego has been a director
−Removed: since February 5, 2020, and our Chief Executive Officer since May 1, 2020.
−Removed: Prior to his appointment, Mr.
−Removed: Rego purchased an active franchise
−Removed: in California.
−Removed: During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized royalty revenues from the franchise of $6,750
−Removed: and $16,650, respectively, recognized technology fee revenues from the franchise of $900 and $900, respectively, and recognized marketing
−Removed: fee revenues from the franchise of $0 and $829, respectively.
−Removed: Total payments made by the franchisee were $7,650 and $8,581, respectively.
−Removed: As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 the accounts receivable balance with the franchise was $1,897 and the Company had allowed for $1,334
−Removed: and $1,116, respectively, for net AR balances of $563 and $781, respectively.
−Removed: Accordingly, during the year ended September 30, 2021 the

−Removed: As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 the franchises had

−Removed: they purchased a Company franchise in the United Arab Emirates (the “UAE”).
−Removed: The Company filed an arbitration complaint
−Removed: against them in December 2019 regarding issues related to opening the franchise.
−Removed: The complaint was resolved by a Settlement Agreement
−Removed: dated February 5, 2020.
−Removed: Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company forgave all back royalty fees through July 2019, equaling $18,825,
−Removed: and agreed to defer all other fees until the franchise was able to obtain a business license to operate in the UAE., which is currently
−Removed: delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
−Removed: The franchise is currently non-operational as a result of an inability to obtain the issuance
−Removed: of a business license from the UAE due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
−Removed: If the franchise is not able to procure the necessary authorizations
−Removed: to operate, the franchisees would not owe any franchise fees.
−Removed: As a consequence, we have not realized any revenue from the franchise
−Removed: and no payments have been received on outstanding balances.
−Removed: As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 the accounts receivable balance with
−Removed: the franchise was $10,613 and the Company had allowed for $10,613 and $8,925, respectively, for net AR balances of $0 and $1,688,

−Removed: was six months, subject to auto-renewal until Teknowland had completed its obligations under the agreement, but subject to each

−Removed: Beginning in January
−Removed: 2021, Teknowland began hosting the Company’s website at a cost of $5,000 per month pursuant to an oral agreement.
−Removed: On February 12, 2021,

−Removed: have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: The preparation of our consolidated financial
−Removed: statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
−Removed: net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
−Removed: Management bases its estimates on historical
−Removed: experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
−Removed: the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
−Removed: Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
−Removed: describe in this section certain critical accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates, assumptions and judgments.
−Removed: An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters
−Removed: that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes
−Removed: in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial
−Removed: Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its most significant estimates and assumptions

−Removed: that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
−Removed: of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: The significant estimates
−Removed: and assumptions made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets, depreciation of
−Removed: property and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets and fair value of equity instruments.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from
−Removed: those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

+Added: statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which require
+Added: management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and
+Added: accompanying notes.
+Added: We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:
Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The Company generates
−Removed: almost all of its revenue from contracts with customers.
−Removed: The Company’s franchise agreements enter the parties into a contractual
−Removed: agreement, typically over a ten years term, and include performance obligations as follows:
−Removed: protected territory designation, access
−Removed: to proprietary manuals and handbooks, initial training and on-going assistance, consulting, promotion of goodwill, administration
−Removed: of marketing fund, marketing and promotion items, initial marketing program development assistance, company website access, Franchise
−Removed: Management Tool access, lessons and model plans, project kits, Duplo bricks, frames stop motion animation software, and use of
−Removed: the franchisor’s intellectual property (IP) (e.g., trade name – Bricks for Kidz).
−Removed: Upon entering into a franchise agreement,
−Removed: the Company charges an initial franchise fee, which is fully collectible and nonrefundable as of the date of the signing of the
−Removed: franchise agreement.
−Removed: Further, because the Company’s franchises are primarily a mobile concept and do not require finding
−Removed: locations or construction, the franchisees can begin operations as soon as they complete training.
−Removed: Per the terms of the franchise
−Removed: agreements, the Company charges for royalty fees on a monthly basis, generally set at a fixed amount, but in some cases are based on a
−Removed: percentage of franchisee’s monthly gross revenues.
−Removed: The Company also charges fees for a marketing fund, generally based on 2% of
−Removed: franchisee’s monthly gross revenues, which is managed by the Company, to allocate towards national branding of the Company’s
−Removed: concepts to benefit the franchisees.
−Removed: Lastly, the Company charges for technology fees on a monthly basis, generally at a fixed amount,
−Removed: for the use of the company Franchise Management tool as well as company emails, etc.
−Removed: adopted the new revenue standard (ASC 606) on October 1, 2018 for contracts with remaining performance obligations as of October 1, 2018.
−Removed: The Company elected to apply the new standard retrospectively with an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the
−Removed: date of adoption.
−Removed: Under ASC 606, the Company considers initial franchise fees to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property
−Removed: (“IP”), therefore the performance obligation related to these fees is satisfied over time as the Company fulfills its promise
−Removed: to grant the customer rights to use, and benefit from, the Company’s IP, as well as support and maintain the IP.
−Removed: The initial franchise
−Removed: fee, then, is recorded as deferred revenue at inception and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
−Removed: In accordance
−Removed: with ASC 606-10-55-65, the Company has determined that the royalty fees, marketing fees, and technology fees are subject to a sales and
−Removed: usage-based royalties’ constraint on licenses of IP.
−Removed: Accordingly, these fees are recognized as revenue at the later of when the
−Removed: sales or usage occurs or the related performance obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: Technology fees are recorded net of processing fees.
−Removed: fees are limited to marketing amounts expensed;
−Removed: therefore, the Company will recognize amounts received in excess of amounts spent on the
−Removed: balance sheet in the accrued marketing fund liability.
−Removed: The Company collects transfer
−Removed: fees when contracts are transferred between parties and accounts for the transfer as a contract modification under ASC 606.
−Removed: transfer does not increase the scope of the contract or promise any additional goods or services and there are no new distinct services
−Removed: that will be provided after the transfer the Company considers the transfer fee part of the existing contract.
−Removed: Transfer fees, then, are
−Removed: recorded as deferred revenue at inception and recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term.
−Removed: When contracts are terminated
−Removed: due to default, or in conjunction with an early termination agreement, the Company accounts for the early termination as a contract modification
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: Financial Instruments
+Added: Derivative Financial Instruments
+Added: While our estimates and assumptions
+Added: are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these
+Added: estimates and assumptions.
+Added: For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated
+Added: Financial Statements.
+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company’s revenue is recognized in
+Added: accordance with Accounting Standards Codification(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for all periods presented.
+Added: The Company, through its DriveItAway online/app-based platform, operates in the retail automotive industry.
+Added: The Company assists subprime
+Added: and deep subprime candidates, with little or no down payment, in purchasing the used vehicle of his/her choice by first starting in an
+Added: app based, turnkey rental, through participating franchise and independent car dealers.
+Added: During the years ended September 30, 2022 and
+Added: 2021, the Company derived its rental revenue from contract revenue share for rentals between participating franchise and independent car
+Added: dealers and individual car rental customers (“customers”).
+Added: In conjunction with the rental revenue, the Company generates revenue
+Added: by providing driver and vehicle insurance through a third party, included in the rental contract with each customer.
+Added: The Company’s performance obligation for rental
+Added: revenue is to provide an application to track car rental arrangements and to collect cash from car rental customers and remit those payments
+Added: to participating franchise and independent car dealers, net of the Company’s revenue share.
+Added: The car rental arrangements are over
+Added: a fixed contracted period;
+Added: therefore, the Company recognizes revenue ratably during the contract term.
+Added: The Company’s performance
+Added: obligation for insurance revenue is to collect insurance fees from the customer and provide the third-party provider payment for the insurance
+Added: provided to the customer.
+Added: The insurance is offered over a fixed contracted period;
+Added: therefore, the Company recognizes revenue ratably during
+Added: the contract term.
+Added: Rental and insurance transactions are prepaid at the
+Added: beginning of the rental cycle (typically a one-week rental that has an automatic renewal) with an automatic charge to the customer’s
+Added: credit card on file through the DIA system.
+Added: The DIA system then distributes the vehicle owner share (typically 85% of rental revenue)
+Added: to the vehicle owner’s bank account from the Stripe Account.
+Added: This amount is shown as a deduction to Revenues (“Vehicle Owner
+Added: Share”) on the Company’s Statements of Operations.
+Added: The net amount is then transferred from the Company’s Stripe Account
+Added: to the DIA operating bank account.
+Added: DIA also distributes insurance amounts due to the third - party insurance provider on a monthly
+Added: This amount is shown as a deduction to revenues (“Driver & Dealer Insurance Cost”) on the Company’s Statements
+Added: of Operations.
+Added: DIA also generates miscellaneous revenue in a number
+Added: At the end of the rental term, the DIA software system checks for any excess usage and charges, based on the terms of the rental
+Added: contract, and will automatically charge a customer’s credit card.
+Added: These charges are recognized when the credit card charge goes
+Added: through and recorded as miscellaneous revenue on the Company’s Statements of Operations.
+Added: Additional miscellaneous revenue represents
+Added: amounts earned on telematics equipment and telematics software services related to each rental vehicle used to track excess usage and
+Added: DIA performance obligation is to provide the equipment to the vehicle owner for self-installation and allow access to the software
+Added: throughout the rental term.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue when the equipment is delivered to the vehicle owner.
+Added: Miscellaneous revenue
+Added: associated with use of the telematics software is recognized on a monthly basis.
+Added: The Company’s Cost of Goods sold consists of
+Added: credit card fees incurred from the cash collections and cash remittance process, as a significant portion of its performance obligation
+Added: is to collect and remit payments through its credit card processors.
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: The Company recognizes compensation expense for all
+Added: restricted stock awards and stock options.
+Added: The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured using the grant date fair value of our
+Added: stock, as determined by the Board of Directors.
+Added: The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes
+Added: option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service
+Added: We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting
+Added: period of the entire option.
+Added: The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by our stock value as well
+Added: as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility and the risk-free interest
+Added: follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would
+Added: be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
+Added: or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
+Added: ASC 820 also establishes a fair value
+Added: hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent
+Added: sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the
+Added: best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
+Added: The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels,
+Added: which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and
+Added: the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
+Added: The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
+Added: 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+Added: 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
+Added: such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
+Added: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
+Added: markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets);
+Added: or model-derived valuations in which significant
+Added: inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
+Added: 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to
+Added: the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
+Added: amounts shown of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts
+Added: payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
+Added: Derivative Financial Instruments
+Added: The fair value of an embedded conversion option that
+Added: is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round
+Added: protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”,
+Added: since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants
+Added: and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined
under ASC 815.
−Removed: Because the termination eliminates any future performance obligations of the Company any deferred revenue associated with
−Removed: the terminated contract is recognized into revenue at the time of termination, along with any early termination fees, in the initial franchise
−Removed: fee line on the Company’s Statement of Operations.
−Removed: The Company generates revenue
−Removed: from sales of merchandise where the performance obligation is met, and therefore revenue recognized, upon the delivery of merchandise
−Removed: to the customer.
−Removed: Contract Liability – Deferred Revenue
−Removed: In conjunction with the adoption
−Removed: of ASC 606, effective October 1, 2018 the Company recorded deferred revenue as a contract liability for its initial franchise fees collected
−Removed: and related to contracts with remaining performance obligations.
−Removed: Contract Liability / Asset – Accrued Marketing
−Removed: Fund / Marketing Fund Receivable
−Removed: Per the terms of the franchise
−Removed: agreements, the Company collects 2% of franchisee’s gross revenues for a marketing fund, managed by the Company, to allocate toward
−Removed: national branding of the Company’s concepts to benefit the franchisees.
−Removed: The marketing fund amounts owed
−Removed: to the Company are accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet and the actual collections are deposited into a marketing fund bank
−Removed: account, presented as restricted cash on the balance sheet.
−Removed: Expenses pertaining to the marketing fund activities are paid from the marketing
−Removed: fund and reduce the liability account.
−Removed: Upon adoption of FASB 606 on October 1, 2018, the Company presents these marketing fund revenues
−Removed: and expenses on a gross basis on its statement of operations.
−Removed: Any unused funds at the end of the period are recorded as accrued marketing
−Removed: fees or any funds used in excess of funds collected are recorded as a marketing fund receivable.
−Removed: The Company expects to collect this advance
−Removed: in future periods from the 2% fees collected on future franchisee gross revenues.
−Removed: Contract Asset – Prepaid Commission Expense
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 606 the
−Removed: costs related to obtaining a contract are to be capitalized as long as the costs are recoverable and incremental.
−Removed: Effective October 1,
−Removed: 2019, the date the Company adopted ASC 606, they capitalized the value of sales commissions as a contract asset and is amortizing those
−Removed: costs straight-line over the contract life of the franchise agreement to which they relate.
−Removed: Accounts Receivable
−Removed: The Company reviews accounts receivable
−Removed: periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary.
−Removed: The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and
−Removed: considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability.
−Removed: Accounts and receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed.
−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: The Company has reviewed all newly issued
−Removed: accounting pronouncements, including those that are not yet effective, and all have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
+Added: The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments
+Added: requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement
+Added: and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
+Added: Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or
+Added: expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.
+Added: The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments
+Added: at each balance sheet date.
+Added: If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of
+Added: the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
+Added: The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used
+Added: to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants.
+Added: The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially
+Added: affect the fair value estimates.
+Added: The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common
+Added: stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.
+Added: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
+Added: We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
