CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report” or the “Form 10-Q”) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

 

 ·discuss future expectations;

 

 ·contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

 

 ·state other “forward-looking” information.

 

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 20182019 provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in our forward-looking statements, including among other things:

 

 ·the operating and financial results of and our relationships with our franchisees;

 

 ·actions taken by our franchisees that may harm our business;

 

 ·incidents that may impair the value of our brand;

 

 ·our failure to successfully implement our growth strategy;

 

 ·changing economic conditions;

 

 ·our need for additional financing;

 

 ·risks associated with our franchisees;

 

 ·litigation and regulatory issues; and

 

 ·our failure to comply with current or future laws or regulations.regulations; and

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

 

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual future results to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on us.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods that have been included. The results for the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018.2019.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company has been involved in transactions with related parties. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Settlement Agreement entered into on February 5, 2020, Christopher Rego was appointed to the Company’s board of directors as well as was named chief executive officer of BFK. Effective April 30, 2020, Mr. Rego was appointed chief executive officer of the Company. Mr. Rego is an active franchisee of the Company. As of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, Mr. Rego’s franchises had deferred revenue balances of $14,659 and $11,967, respectively. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 for Mr. Rego’s franchises were $898 and $2,693, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, Mr. Rego’s franchises had receivables balances of $21,536 and $10,447, respectively. As per the Consent Settlement Agreement, receivables owed from Mr. Rego in the amount of $18,825 were forgiven on February 4, 2020. This forgiveness has been reflected in the June 30, 2020 receivable balance noted above. Mr. Rego is also the CEO of a software development company that the Company entered into an agreement with on March 10, 2020. The term of the agreement is nine months and calls for a development fee of $12,900 per month. $51,600 was expensed and paid by the Company for the services provided during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. Also, as per the Consent Solicitation Settlement agreement entered into on February 5, 2020, the Company has expensed $10,000 for legal fees owed on behalf of Mr. Rego and Mr. Whiton.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates and assumptions made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets and fair market value of equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. 

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company had restricted cash of approximately $24,000$23,000 and $23,000$18,000 at June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, associated with marketing funds collected from the franchisees. Per the franchise agreements a marketing fund of 2% of franchisees gross cash receipts is collected and held to be spent on the promotion of the brand. Any cash collected by the Company for marketing funds is held in a separate bank account and any balance at period end is presented as “restricted cash” and “accrued marketing fund” on the balance sheet. See Note 4 for additional information.

Accounts and Note Receivables

 

The Company reviews accounts and notes receivable periodically for collectability, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Receivables and notes are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 20182019 are adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded allowance.

 

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to forty 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.

Fixed AssetsUseful Life
Equipment5 years
Furniture and Fixtures5 years
Property Improvements15-40 years
Software3  years

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, and intangible assets. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates of asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relative short-term maturity of these items and current payment expected. 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. Notes receivable are recorded at par value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The carrying amount is consistent with fair value based upon similar notes issued to other franchisees.

 

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, 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:

  

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.

9

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 value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs.  The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a recurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared

Revenue Recognition 

 

Revenue is recognized when a company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The Company generates almost all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s franchise agreements enter the parties into a contractual agreement, typically over a ten yearyears term, and include performance obligations as follows: protected territory designation, access to proprietary manuals and handbooks, initial training and on-going assistance, consulting, promotion of goodwill, administration of marketing fund, marketing and promotion items, initial advertisingmarketing program development assistance, company website access, Franchise Management Tool access, lessons and model plans, project kits, Duplo bricks, frames stop motion animation software, and use of the franchisor’s intellectual property (IP) (e.g., trade name – Bricks for Kidz). Additionally, the contract permits the franchisee to renew the contract for an additional ten-year term forUpon entering into a fee. The following is a description of principal activities from whichfranchise agreement, the Company generates its revenue.

Initial Franchise Fee - Sincecharges an initial franchise fee, which is fully collectible and nonrefundable as of the date of the signing of the franchise agreement. Further, because 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 complete training. The franchise fees are fully collectible and nonrefundable as of the date of the signing of the franchise agreement. The initial franchise fee is recognized as deferred revenue on a straight line basis over the ten-year period as the performance obligations are met over the contract term. The Company adopted the new revenue standard (Topic 606) on October 1, 2018 for contracts with remaining performance obligations as of October 1, 2018. Comparative information from prior year periods has not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods under Topic 605. The adoption of the new guidance changed the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue and related commissions paid on franchise sales, as discussed further in Note 7.

The activity in the Company’s deferred revenue for initial franchise fee is included in “Deferred revenue” and “Deferred revenue, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and consists of the following:

 Balance at beginning of period

(b)Revenue recognized not related to ASC 606 implementation for new billings was $815 and $10,468 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Commissions paid on initial franchise sales are recognized as an asset and amortized over the contract life of the franchise agreement. The activity in the Company’s capitalized contract costs for commissions consist of the following:

(b)Expense recognized not related to ASC 606 implementation for new activity was $0 and $828 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Advertising Fund Revenue - Per the terms of the franchise agreements, the Company collectscharges for royalty fees on a monthly basis, generally set at a fixed amount, but in some cases are based on a percentage of franchisee’s monthly gross revenues. The Company also charges fees for a marketing fund, generally based on 2% of franchisee’s monthly gross revenues, each month, due on the third day of the following month, for a marketing fund,which is managed by the Company, to allocate towards national branding of the Company’s concepts to benefit the franchisees. ThisLastly, the Company charges for technology fees on a monthly basis, generally at a fixed amount, for the use of the company Franchise Management tool as well as company emails, etc.

Effective October 1, 2018 the Company began recognizing revenue under ASC 606. The Company considers initial franchise fees to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property (“IP”), therefore the performance obligation related to these fees is satisfied over time as the Company fulfills its promise to grant the customer rights to use, and benefit from, the Company’s IP, as well as support and maintain the IP. The initial franchise fee, then, is recorded as deferred revenue at inception and recognized on a monthly basis.straight-line basis over the contract term.

In accordance 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 usage-based royalties’ constraint on licenses of IP. Accordingly, these fees are recognized as revenue at the later of when the sales or usage occurs or the related performance obligation is satisfied. Technology fees are recorded net of processing fees. Marketing fees are limited to the lesser of marketing amounts earned or expensed; therefore, the Company will recognize amounts received in excess of amounts spent on the balance sheet in the accrued marketing fund liability and will recognize amounts spent in excess of amounts received on the balance sheet in the marketing fund receivable.

The Company collects transfer fees when contracts are transferred between parties and accounts for the transfer as a contract modification under ASC 606. Because the transfer does not increase the scope of the contract or promise any additional goods or services and there are no new distinct services that will be provided after the transfer the Company considers the transfer fee part of the existing contract. Transfer fees, then, are recorded as deferred revenue at inception and recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term.

When contracts are terminated due to default, or in conjunction with an early termination agreement, the Company accounts for the early termination as a contract modification under ASC 606. Because the termination eliminates any future performance obligations of the Company any deferred revenue associated with the terminated contract is recognized into revenue at the time of termination, along with any early termination fees, in the initial franchise fee line on the Company’s Statement of Operations.

The Company generates revenue from sales of merchandise where the performance obligation is met, and therefore revenue recognized, upon the delivery of merchandise to the customer.

Contract Liability – Deferred Revenue

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 606, effective October 1, 2018 the Company recorded deferred revenue as a contract liability for its initial franchise fees collected and related to contracts with remaining performance obligations. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 the activity in the deferred revenue account was as follows:

Twelve months ended June 30, 2024  538,871 
Twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and thereafter  469,537 
Total $3,713,095 

Contract Liability / Asset – Accrued Marketing Fund / Marketing Fund Receivable

Per the terms of the franchise agreements, the Company collects 2% of franchisee’s gross revenues for a marketing fund, managed by the Company, to allocate toward national branding of the Company’s concepts to benefit the franchisees.

The marketing fund amounts owed to the Company are accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet and the actual collections are deposited into a marketing fund bank account, presented as restricted cash on the balance sheet. Expenses pertaining to the marketing fund activities are paid from the marketing fund and reduce the liability account. Upon adoption of FASB 606 on October 1, 2018, the Company began presentingpresents these marketing fund revenues and expenses on a gross revenue basis on its statement of operationsoperations. Any unused funds at the end of the period are recorded as per FASB ASC 606-10-55-39.

accrued marketing fees or any funds used in excess of funds collected are recorded as a marketing fund receivable. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded franchisee marketing fund expenses in advance of billings in the amount of $64,790. The Company expects to collect this advance in future periods from the 2% fees collected on future franchisee gross revenues. The activity in the Company’s accrued marketing fund for advertising fund revenue accounts consistsliability account was as follows:

Marketing funds advanced by the Company  (64,790)
Marketing fund liability (receivable), June 30, 2020 $(64,790)

Contract Asset – Prepaid Commission Expense

In accordance with ASC 606 the costs related to obtaining a contract are to be capitalized as long as the costs are recoverable and incremental. Effective October 1, 2018, the date the Company adopted ASC 606, it capitalized the value of sales commissions as a contract asset and is amortizing those costs straight-line over the contract life of the following:franchise agreement to which they relate.

Merchandise Revenue – Merchandise revenue is made up of Lego kits and fees for the use of Company email.Paycheck Protection Program

 

On April 28, 2020, the Company was granted a loan (the “Loan”) from First Bank of the Lake in the aggregate amount of $119,980, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 24, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 23, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on October 23, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

General Advertising Costs

 

AdvertisingGeneral advertising costs for the operating company are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred general advertising costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 of $658 and $2,230, respectively and for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 of approximately $2,000$5,963 and $11,000, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $16,000 and $22,000,$10,771, respectively. Advertising costs of approximately $620,000 were paid out of the marketing fund on behalf of the franchisees and were expensed when funds were received from franchisees. See Note 7.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes and deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability that its net deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided by a charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized. Given previous recurring losses, the Company cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized, therefore a full valuation allowance has been recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020.

When there are uncertainties related to potential income tax benefits, in order to qualify for recognition, the position the Company takes has to have at least a “more likely than not” chance of being sustained (based on the position’s technical merits) upon challenge by the respective authorities. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Otherwise, the Company may not recognize any of the potential tax benefit associated with the position. The Company recognizes a benefit for a tax position that meets the “more likely than not” criterion at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon its effective resolution. Unrecognized tax benefits involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefit being sustained with the ultimate realization being dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. The final resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in adjustments to recorded amounts and may affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties at June 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2018,2020, since there are no material unrecognized tax benefits. Management believes no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months.

 

The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the years 20142015 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Net earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options 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. All securities outstanding as of June 30, 2019 are anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock awards for services based on the grant date fair value of the instrument issued, and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the grant date fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock awards are expensed over the service period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)All newly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) and has since issued various amendments which provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on Topic 606. This guidance establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goodsaccounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new guidance effective the first day of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and applied Topic 606 to those contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018.applicable.

The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the beginning of fiscal 2018. In performing its analysis, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price.  Comparative information from prior year periods has not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods under “Revenue Recognition” (“Topic 605”). Refer to Note 7 for further disclosure of the impact of the new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2020 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach and includes a number of practical expedients. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which requires that entities show the changes in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

(7) Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the new revenue standard (Topic 606) on October 1, 2018. The Company applied the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of the new guidance changed the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue and related commissions paid on franchise sales, as discussed below.

 1413 

 

Franchise sales is comprised of revenue from the sale or renewal of franchises. The Company previously recognized revenue at the time of sale. Under the new revenue standard, the franchise sale initial fees are considered to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property, which is now recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement, which is typically 10 years. Correspondingly, the commissions related to franchise sales are recorded as an asset (the current portion in “Commission expense” on the balance sheet, and long- term portion in “Commission expense - net of current portion”) on the balance sheet, and are recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement in “Commission Expense” on the statement of operations. Previously, such commissions were expensed as incurred.

Three Months Ending June 30, 2019Third Quarter FY 2020 Highlights

 

The Company experienced an increasedecrease in new franchise sales revenue due primarily to the Company recognizing revenue on prior year initial franchise fees during the quarter as a result of adopting FASB ASC 606 on October 1, 2018.

Royalty fees revenue decreased approximately $85,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to off-boarding several inactive franchisees during the three months ended June 30, 2018 which lead to fewer franchisees at June 30, 2019 as compared to June 30, 2018.

In addition, advertising fund revenue increased approximately $38,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 20182020 was primarily due to the applicationacceleration of FASB ASC 606 on October 1, 2018 which requires advertising funddeferred revenues in 2019, and expenses to be recorded on the gross method basis on the statement of operations. Prior to FASB ASC 606, these revenues and expenses were recorded as partfewer franchises paying royalties because of the marketing liability account on the balance sheet.

Royalty fees revenue decreased approximately $156,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 20192020 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 20182019 due to off-boardingthe offboarding of several inactive franchisees during the year ended September 30, 2019, thus fewer franchisees were paying royalties in the current period versus the same period of the prior year. In addition, fewer franchises were paying royalties because of COVID-19.

Marketing fund revenue decreased approximately $25,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased by approximately $52,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 which lead2020 due to fewer franchisees atan increase in marketing fund expenses in the current period. Because marketing fund revenues and expenses are limited to the lesser of amounts spent by the Company or amounts billed to customers, the increase in spend over the prior year resulted in an increase in revenue from the prior year.

Technology fees increased by 100% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 20192020 due to the Company beginning to charge franchisees for the use of their online platform.

Operating Expenses increased by approximately $118,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a higher allowance for doubtful accounts as the Company measures collectability of franchise royalties in the COVID-19 environment, and thus increased bad debt expense. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $168,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2018.

In addition, advertising fund revenue increased approximately $620,000 and advertising fund2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the larger franchise commissions expense increased approximately $609,000 duringrecorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 as compared towell as increased bad debt expense as described above. This was a result of more offboards in the comparative period in which the deferred expense on the terminated contract was recognized immediately as per FASB ASC 606.

The net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 due primarily2020 was $(3,267) and $551,820 as compared to the application of FASB ASC 606 as of October 1, 2018 which requires advertising fund revenues$635,333 and expenses to be recorded on a gross method basis on the statement of operations. Prior to FASB ASC 606, these revenues$1,644,018 in three and expenses were recorded as part of the marketing liability account on the balance sheet.

Operating Expenses increased to approximately $2,400,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 from approximately $1,800,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2018, or $600,000,2019. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in franchise commissions and advertising expense as a result of applyingmore offboards in fiscal 2019, which resulted in the modified retrospective approachimmediate recognition of adoptingdeferred revenues associated with the terminated contracts per FASB ASC 606 effective October 1, 2018 forand the amortizationoutbreak of previously expensed commissions related to franchise sales and advertising for franchises. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense due to a large amount of off-boarding occurring in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 which created an increase in the bad debt for uncollected royalty fees. The increase was also offset by a decrease in professional fees and legal settlements due to less legal activity and a more streamlined approach to handling legal issues in the current year.COVID-19.

The net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,644,018 as compared to a net income of $47,254 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash generated through operations. For the reporting period, theThe Company has currently temporarily suspended domestic franchise offers and sales of Bricks 4 Kidz® and Sew Fun Studios® franchises in compliance with FTC Franchise Rule, Section 436.7(a) due to delay in completion of the Company’s fiscal year 2018 and 2019 consolidated audited financial statements as well as the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements. In turn, this delayed completion of the Company’s 2018 and 2019 FDDs for the Bricks 4 Kidz® and Sew Fun Studios® franchise offeringsofferings.

The Company is dependent upon both franchise sales and royalty fees to continue current business operations and liquidity. 

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread to the United States and many other parts of the world and has adversely affected our business operations, employee availability, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow and the length of such impacts are uncertain.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 continues to grow both in the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have and will continue to adversely affect our business operations. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation is rapidly evolving.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including warning against congregating in heavily populated areas, such as malls and shopping centers. Among the precautions has been the closure of a substantial portion of the schools in the United States, which will adversely impact our royalty revenue from franchisees and our ability to sell new franchises. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of these school closures and other business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and global economy. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. We have asked our corporate employees whose jobs allow them to work remotely to do so for the foreseeable future. Such precautionary measures could create operational challenges as we adjust to a remote workforce, which could adversely impact our business.
