ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
BUSINESS
 
The Company was formed in March 2006 under the name B2 Health, Inc. to design, manufacture and sell chiropractic tables and beds. The Company generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned its business plan in March 2008.
 
On July 2, 2010 the Company acquired BFK Franchise Company, LLC (“BFK”), a Nevada limited liability company formed in May 2009, under a Stock Exchange Agreement with the members of BFK for 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On July 7, 2010, shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation changing the name of the Company from B2 Health, Inc. to Creative Learning Corporation (“CLC”).
 
At the time BFK was acquired, BFK had a 50% ownership in a company called BFK Development Company LLC (“BFKD”), and on October 3, 2010 BFK acquired the remaining 50% interest in BFKD. Immediately following the acquisition of the non-controlling interest, BFKF transferred its 100% interest in BFKD to the Company.
 
BFKD was initially used to develop and test the brick and mortar model of the BRICKS 4 KIDS® concept as a Corporate Creativity Center.
 
On September 14, 2012, the Company also formed CI Franchise Company LLC (“CI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary for purpose of operating a second franchise concept known as Challenge Island®, a service business within a defined exclusive territory, providing unique challenge-based programs designed to foster critical and creative thinking skills, problem solving methodology, and core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) principles in children ages 3-13+. CI began selling franchises during the 2013 fiscal year.
 
 On January 8, 2013 the Company also formed Sew Fun Franchise Company LLC (“SF”) as a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of operating a third franchise concept known as Sew Fun. Sew Fun is a brick and mortar business featuring stores/studios located in strip malls and offering after-school classes, camps and birthday parties for children ages 8-13+, as well as adult classes, in fashion design.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the Company include the operations of BFK, BFKD, CI and SF.

BFK Operations
 
BFK, which conducts business under the trade name, BRICKS 4 KIDS®, offers programs designed to teach principles of engineering, architecture and physics to children ages 3-12+ using LEGO® bricks. BFK provides classes (both in school and after school), special events programs and day camps that are designed to enhance and enrich the traditional school curriculum, trigger young children’s lively imaginations and build self-confidence. BFK’s programs foster creativity and provide a unique atmosphere for students to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills by designing and building machines, catapults, pyramids, race cars, buildings and numerous other systems and devices using LEGO® bricks.
 
Current Programs Offered by BFK
 
In-school field trips. One-hour classes during school hours. Classes are correlated to the science for a particular grade level. Teacher guides, student worksheets, and step-by-step instruction are provided. Recommended fees: $5-$8 per student.
 
After-school classes. One hour, one day a week class held after school. Recommended fees: $10-$15 per class per child, minimum commitment is usually 4 classes.
 
Pre-school classes. Classes can be held in pre-schools for children of pre-school ages. Recommended fees; $5-$7 per child.

Camps. Normally 3 hours per day for 5 days. Camps can take place at schools or at other child-related venues. Children use LEGO® bricks to explore various science and math concepts while working in an open, friendly environment. The material covered each session varies depending on students’ ages, experience, and skill level. A new project is built each week. Architectural concepts are taught while assembling buildings, castles and other structures. Instructional content includes concepts of friction, gravity and torque, scale, gears, axles and beams. The curriculum can include the construction of a scaled model of the children’s school or the school mascot. The children work and play with programmable LEGO® bricks along with electric motors, sensors, system bricks, and LEGO® Technic pieces (i.e. gears, axles, and beams). Recommended fees: $125-$150/child. Children go home with a small LEGO® project (cost about $5/child)

BFK Operating Units
 
BFK franchises are primarily mobile models, with activities scheduled in the schools or other venues, but also can be operated through a store-front location called a Creativity Center.
 
As of January 9, 2014 BFK had 440 franchises operating in 40 states, the District of Columbia, and 20 foreign countries, with two Corporate owned franchise territories and one Corporate owned Creativity Center.
 
BFK Franchise Program
 
BFK sells franchises both domestically and internationally.  International sales can be a single franchise or a Master Franchise, where the Master Franchisee operates a franchise, but is also able to develop, sell and manage sub-franchises.
 
A franchisee pays a one-time, non-refundable franchise fee upon the execution of the franchise agreement. Domestically, there can be variations on the franchise fees depending on the size or territories being purchased, and other factors of the territory. The typical sized, domestic, single territory franchise fee is $25,900.  If the franchisee buys more than one franchise at the time the initial franchise is purchased, the fee for the other territory is approximately $10,000 to $12,000.
 
International franchise fees vary and are set relative to the potential of the franchised territories.  During the year ended September 30, 3013, BFK sold three Master Franchises at an average price of $81,667.  In the case of a Master Franchise, BFK receives a percentage of the franchise fee paid to the Master Franchisee by any sub-franchisee.
 
Domestic and international franchisees are required to pay BFK a royalty fee of 7%.  BFK also receives a percentage of royalty payments received by Master Franchisees from their sub-franchisees.
 
BFK administers a Marketing Fund for domestic and Canadian franchisees with the purpose of building national brand awareness.  The Marketing Fund expenditures are funded with BFK collecting a 2 % marketing fee from domestic and Canadian franchisees.  These marketing fees and expenses are accounted for separately and are not reported as revenue or expenses for BFK.
 
The franchisee is granted an exclusive territory and a license to use the “Bricks 4 Kidz®” name and trademarks in the franchised territory. The franchisee is required to conform to certain standards of business practices. Each franchise is run as an independent business and, as such, is responsible for its operation, including employment of adequate staff. A franchisee can also purchase additional territories.
 
Franchisees are permitted to assign their franchise provided that BFK receives advance notice of the proposed assignment, the transferee assumes the obligations under the franchise agreement, the transferee meets certain conditions and qualifications, and BFK receives a transfer fee based on a percentage of the current Franchise Fee rate for a single territory.
 
The term of the franchise is for ten years. BFK has the right to terminate any franchisee in the event of the franchisee’s bankruptcy, a default under the franchise agreement, or other events. The franchisee has the right to renew the franchise for an additional ten years if, at the time of renewal, the franchisee is in good standing and pays a renewal fee in the amount of $5,000.
 
In addition to the franchise fee, a franchisee is advised that an additional investment of between $8,000 and $23,000 for the mobile model will be required for such things as equipment and supplies, insurance, marketing and working capital during the start-up phase of the business.
 
BFK Competition
 
To the best of BFK’s knowledge, although BFK pioneered the Lego modeling based curriculum for after school programs, there are now at least two other companies franchising a model similar to that of Bricks 4 Kidz®, Engineering 4 Kids and Snapology. However, Play-Well Teknologies, with offices in San Anselmo and Pleasanton, California, offers after-school classes, camps and birthday parties using LEGO® bricks. Vision Education and Media offers after school classes using LEGO® bricks in its office in New York City, NY. In addition, several other small businesses around the country offer after-school classes and vacation camps using LEGO® bricks. These classes and camps are typically held in elementary schools, middle schools and community colleges.
 
CI Operations
 
CI, which conducts business under the trade name, Challenge Island®, provides unique challenge-based programs designed to foster critical and creative thinking skills, problem solving methodology, and core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) principles in children ages 3-13+.

Current Programs Offered by CI
 
CI has the same event types, possible venues and programs as BFK above.
 
CI Operating Units
 
CI franchises are mobile models, with activities which can be offered in a variety of venues and event types, including after-school programs. However, and in contrast to BFK, the CI franchise program does not have a store-front Center model available.
 
CI began selling franchises in the 2013 fiscal year and as of January 9, 2014 CI had 15 franchises operating in 8 states.
 
CI Franchise Program
 
CI sells franchises both domestically and internationally.  International sales can be individual, international franchises, or where warranted, they could be sold as Master License agreement where the Master Licensee can operate a franchise, but also develops, sells and manages sub-franchisees.
 
A franchisee pays a one-time, non-refundable franchise fee upon the execution of the franchise agreement. Domestically, there can be variations on the franchise fees depending on the size and other factors of the territory, or territories being purchased.  The typical sized, domestic, single territory franchise fee is $17,500.  Internationally, franchise fees are set relative to the potential of the proposed territories, and can vary.  In the case of a Master Franchise, CI could receive a percentage of the price the Master Franchisee receives from  the sub-franchisees.
 
Domestic and international franchisees are required to pay CI a royalty fee of 7%.  CI also could receive a percentage of royalty payments received by Master licensees from their sub-franchisees.
 
CI administers a Marketing Fund for domestic and Canadian franchisees with the purpose of building national brand awareness.  The Marketing Fund expenditures are funded with CI collecting a 2 % marketing fee from domestic and Canadian franchisees.  These marketing fees and expenses are accounted for separately and are not reported as revenue or expenses for CI.
 
The franchisee is granted an exclusive territory and a license to use the “Challenge Island®” name and trademarks in the franchised territory. The franchisee is required to conform to certain standards of business practices. Each franchise is run as an independent business and, as such, is responsible for its operation, including employment of adequate staff. A franchisee can also purchase additional territories.
 
Franchisees are permitted to assign their franchise provided that CI receives advance notice of the proposed assignment, the transferee assumes the obligations under the franchise agreement, the transferee meets certain conditions and qualifications, and CI receives a transfer fee based on a percentage of the current Franchise Fee rate for a single territory.
 
The term of the franchise is for ten years. CI has the right to terminate any franchisee in the event of the franchisee’s bankruptcy, a default under the franchise agreement, or other events. The franchisee has the right to renew the franchise for an additional ten years if, at the time of renewal, the franchisee is in good standing and pays a renewal fee in the amount of $5,000.
 
In addition to the franchise fee, a franchisee is advised that an additional investment of between $8,000 and $23,000 will be required for such things as equipment and supplies, insurance, marketing and working capital during the start-up phase of the business.
 
CI Competition
 
To the best of CI’s knowledge, there are no companies franchising a model similar to that of Challenge Island®. However, in the after-school program market, there are many different concepts that vie for this time slot.

SF Operations
 
SF, known as Sew Fun, is just completing its development stage and will begin state required registrations. Franchises sold under this third franchise concept will operate brick and mortar businesses featuring stores/studios located in strip malls and offering after-school classes, camps and birthday parties for children ages 8-13+, as well as adult classes, in fashion design. As of January 9, 2014, SF has not offered these franchises for sale and has not sold any franchises.
 
Government Regulation
 
The offer and sale of franchises, and the operations of franchises in some respects, are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and some state governments.
 
In 1979 the Federal Trade Commission promulgated what became known as the FTC Franchise Rule. The FTC Franchise Rule requires detailed disclosure of a wide variety of information as a condition to selling a franchise, but the rule does not regulate the franchise relationship or require any filing or registration on the part of a franchisor. The FTC Franchise Rule requires that the franchisor provide a disclosure statement or prospectus to each prospective buyer prior to execution of a contract or payment of money relating to the franchise relationship.
 
However, the FTC Franchise Rule is narrow and does not preempt state law, which often is stricter than the FTC Franchise Rule. As such, numerous states require franchise disclosure documents to be registered with the state authorities, and numerous states regulate the franchise relationship itself.
 
California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin all have franchise statues and regulations which typically require a franchisor to file or register its offering with the state government and to provide all prospective franchisees with the disclosure document.
 
In these so called “registration states”, state regulatory agencies review the franchisor’s registration application, the franchise disclosure document, the proposed franchise agreement and any other agreements franchisees must sign. State regulators also review the financial condition of the franchisor, the background of the franchisor’s executives and sales agents and provisions regarding the rights and remedies of the franchisor and the franchise as provided in the franchise agreement. These state agencies can deny registration if they believe that the sale of the franchise would be deceptive in any way.
 
Numerous other states have laws regulating various facets of the relationship between the franchisee and franchisor. These “relationship laws” typically regulate the franchisor’s ability to terminate or refuse renewal of a franchise, contain provisions requiring that a franchisor have “good cause” before terminating or refusing to renew a franchise and may also address other issues such as the right of a deceased franchisee’s heirs to continue the franchise after the original investor’s death. Some laws require a franchisor to buy back excess inventory from the franchisee in the even of termination. Some state laws make it illegal for a franchisor to demand a general release from a franchisee as a condition of renewing or entering into a new agreement.
 
Under the FTC Franchise Rule, the FTC has the authority to seek civil penalties against a franchisor for violations of the FTC Franchise Rule. Each of the “registration states” has similar authority to seek penalties for violations of their requirements. Violations may include the offer or sale of an unregistered franchise, failing to timely provide the disclosure document to a prospective franchisee or making misrepresentations in the franchise disclosure documents. Additionally, officers of the franchisor may have personal liability if they had knowledge of or participated in the violations.
 
Individuals cannot sue a franchisor for a violation of the FTC Franchise Rule. However, most of the pre-sale disclosure states grant a private right of action for violation of the state statue and have remedies that typically include damages, rescission of the franchise agreement and attorneys’ fees.

As of January 9, 2014, the Company had 11,809,409 outstanding shares of common stock and 209 shareholders of record.
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. No dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that dividends will ever be paid.
 
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize its Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation relating to the preferred stock allow the Company’s directors to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by the Company’s management.
 
See Note 9 to the financial statements included with this report for information concerning shares of the Company’s common stock which have been issued or sold during the three years ended September 30, 2013.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.
 
Results of Operations
 
The Company sold 190 domestic and international franchises in the fiscal year 2013 compared to 137 in 2012.  The average fee the Company received for a franchise in 2013 was approximately $19,500 compared to approximately $20,300 in 2012.  The slight decline in the average fee was due to the fact that during 2013 the Company sold 72 multiple BFK franchises at a discount to the typical franchise fee of $25,900 and sold 15 CI franchises. The slight decline was offset by the sale of three Master Franchises at an average price of $81,667.
 
Although, the typical BFK franchise fee is $25,900  if a franchisee buys more than one franchise at the time the initial franchise is purchased, the fee for the other territory is approximately $10,000 to $12,000.
 
The fee for a CI franchise is $17,500 compared to a fee of approximately $25,900 for a BFK franchise.  The Company expects that its franchise fee revenue will continue to increase during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 as additional franchises are sold.
 
Royalty fees increased by $516,040 in the fiscal year 2013 from 2012, with an increase of $402,189 collected from franchisees that have been in the system one year or longer, and $113,851 from new franchisees that entered the system this year.  The Company expects Royalty fees will continue to grow with the increase in the number of franchisees and the increase in the amount of time franchisees have been in the system.

The financial statements which are included as part of this report, and in particular the Statement of Stockholders Equity, reflect the issuance of shares when certificates representing the shares are issued by the Company’s transfer agent. In contrast, in the text of this report shares are considered to be issued and outstanding when the Company’s board of directors has authorized the issuance of the shares and the consideration for the shares has been received.
 
As of January 9, 2014 the Company’s operating cash requirements were approximately $315,000 per month.
 
The Company anticipates that its capital requirements for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2014 will be as follows and will be funded from operations:
 
General and administrative expenses
  $ 1,300,000  
Marketing   $ 450,000  
Business development   $ 2,065,000  
 
As of January 9, 2014 the Company’s liabilities consisted primarily of trade payables and the franchisee funded Marketing Fund. The Company collects 2% of the franchisee gross revenues for a marketing fund, managed by the Company, to allocate towards national branding of the Company’s concepts to benefit the franchisees. The marketing fund amounts are accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet and the actual collections are deposited into a marketing fund bank account. Expenses pertaining to marketing activities are paid from the marketing fund and reduce the liability account. The amount of the Marketing Fund liability is equal to the amount of cash in the Marketing Fund bank account.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The Company owns its corporate headquarters, but leases an additional office suite. The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual lease obligations as of September 30, 2013:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
 
Outlook
 
The Company saw another year of significant growth in the sales of franchises in fiscal year 2013, expanding from 210 to 395 franchises sold with its two brands in operation, resulting in increased revenues from franchise fees, including international growth and exposure. In addition, with franchisees being in the system longer, there were significant increases in royalty fees.
 
As a result of this growth, the Company experienced a significant increase in liquidity and expects all of these trends to continue into the next fiscal year.
 
Other than as disclosed above, the Company does not know of any:
 
·  
trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, any material increase or decrease in liquidity; or
 
·  
significant changes in expected sources and uses of cash.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and Principal Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not  effective since the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2013.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Brian Pappas, the Company’s Principal Executive and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
 
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2013. The Company's revenue recognition policy was not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, although management has determined that the recognized revenue during prior periods was materially correct. The Company did not maintain adequate supporting documentation for certain operational expenditures, and the Company did not properly record the amount or value of certain common shares that were issued and outstanding.
 
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to the balance sheet date reported on in this 10-K, management has determined that all of the above weaknesses have been corrected.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
The Company’s officers and directors are listed below. Directors are generally elected at the annual shareholders' meeting and hold office until the next annual shareholders' meeting or until their successors are elected and qualified. Executive officers are elected by Directors and serve at their discretion.

Brian Pappas

President, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary and Director
Michelle Cote   45   Founder and a Director
Dan O’Donnell   45   Vice President of Operations and a Director
 
Brian Pappas has been a Managing Member of BFK since its inception in May 2009 and became the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the parent company, Creative Learning Corporation when it acquired BFK in 2010 . Mr. Pappas graduated from Colgate University in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and music. Between 1981 and 1998 Brian Pappas owned and operated (with his brother Jeff), Together Development Corporation, which sold franchises under the trade name “Together Dating Service.” Mr. Pappas and his brother grew Together Development Corporation from 12 franchises to over 175 franchises which were located throughout the US, Canada, England, Netherlands and Germany. After Mr. Pappas sold Together Development Corporation in 1998 he opened Skater Paradise, Inc, which operated a chain of indoor skate parks in Massachusetts. After selling Skater Paradise, Inc in 2004 Mr. Pappas, until April, 2009, provided consulting services, and in some instances acted as the franchise development director for Zen Massage Center, WeekDay Gourmet, Shape up Sisters, Digicom Specialties, The Online Outpost, and Auction-It-Today. Between 1981 and 1998 Mr. Pappas also co-owned and operated two advertising agencies, Cushing & Pappas and The Thought Process. In the spring of 2009, Mr. Pappas met with Michelle Cote, the founder of Bricks 4 Kidz®, and together they formed BFK in May 2009. Under Brian’s direction and leadership, the Company has grown to 440 franchises operating in the US and internationally, and is expanding with the acquisition of two additional concepts and brands, Challenge Island® and Sew Fun®.
 
Dan O’Donnell has been an officer and Vice President of Operations of CLC since April 15, 2010. Between October 2009 and his association with CLC, Mr. O’Donnell developed the Franchise Marketing Tool (FMT) for BFK, which is an essential component of the Bricks 4 Kidz® franchise model. The FMT has expanded with versions for each international franchise sold, as well as tailored to the two additional brands, Challenge Island® and Sew Fun®. Mr. O’Donnell attended the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville between August 1987 and May 1988 and Richard Bland College between August 1988 and May 1990. He began his career in 1994 when he developed and launched a computer education program for children called Computer Kids Unlimited in Pittsburgh. Between May 2000 and October 2009 Mr. O’Donnell was the Director of Franchise Operations for The Whole Child Learning Company, a franchisor of children’s educational services, where he was responsible for the oversight of all daily operational activities, franchisee training and ongoing franchisee support. In addition to him bringing the FMT to CLC, his success and experience in building, marketing and operating his own after school, education based program, as well as turning it into, and operating as a franchisor has been one of the foundations that have allowed CLC to grow this quickly.
 
Michelle Cote founded Bricks 4 Kidz® in June, 2008 after developing curriculum and running after-school classes, camps and birthday parties using LEGO® since early 2008. She teamed with Brian Pappas in May of 2009 and co-founded BFK. She became a director of CLC when it acquired BFK in July 2010. In her capacity as “founder”, Ms. Cote advises the BFK operations in the areas of creative development and new programs. Prior to that time Ms. Cote worked for an architectural firm in St. Augustine, FL. Ms. Cote received her B.A. degree from Flagler College in St. Augustine in 1991 with a major in Spanish/Latin American studies and graduated Cum Laude.

Brian Pappas, Michele Cote and Dan O’Donnell’s longstanding relationship with the Company benefits the Company and its shareholders and qualifies them to be directors.
 
The Company does not have a compensation committee. The Company’s directors serve as its audit committee.
 
The Company’s directors are not independent directors as that term is defined in section 803 of the listing standards of the NYSE AMEX. No director is a “financial expert” as that term is defined in the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not believe a financial expert is necessary since its revenues for the year ended September 30, 2013 were less than $5,000,000.
 
The Company has not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its principal executive, financial, and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions. The Company does not believe a Code of Ethics is needed at this time since the Company has only three officers.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Creative Leaning Corporation as of September 30, 2012 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 19, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Creative Learning Corporation as of September 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CREATIVE LEARNING CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Organization
 
Creative Learning Corporation (“CLC” or the “Company”), formerly B2 Health, Inc., was incorporated March 8, 2006 in the State of Delaware. BFK Franchise Company LLC (“BFKF”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2009. Effective July 2, 2010, CLC was acquired by BFKF in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. CLC concurrently changed its name from B2 Health, Inc. to Creative Learning Corporation. The financial statements represent the activity of BFKF from May 19, 2009 forward, and the consolidated activity of BFKF and CLC from July 2, 2010 forward. BFKF and CLC are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company".
 
In addition to the accounts of CLC and BFKF, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CLC’s subsidiaries, BFK Development Company LLC (“BFKD”) from November 25, 2009 (BFKD’s inception) forward, CI Franchise Company LLC (“CI”) from September 14, 2012 (CI’s inception) forward, and Sew Fun Franchise Company LLC (SF) from January 8, 2013 (SF’s inception) forward.
 
BFKF held a 50% ownership interest in BFKD from November 25, 2009 through October 2, 2010. On October 3, 2010, the BFKF acquired the 50% non-controlling interest in BFKD. Immediately following the acquisition of the non-controlling interest, BFKF transferred its 100% interest in BFKD to CLC.
 
Creative Learning Corporation operates wholly owned subsidiaries BFK FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC, CI FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC AND SEW FUN FRANCHISE COMPANY, LLC under the trade names Bricks 4 Kidz®, Challenge Island®, and Sew Fun Studios™ respectively, that offer children's enrichment and education franchises.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods set forth herein.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Fiscal year
 
The Company operates on a September 30 fiscal year-end.
 
 
23

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles permits 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and to correct prior year errors. The reclassifications did not have any effect on the prior year net income.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company had cash of $2,004,947 and $1,041,786 as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $10,000, and $12,000, respectively.
 
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.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts and notes receivable, prepaid expenses, property and equipment, intangible assets, deposits, and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments.
 
 
24

 
 
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
            
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.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis after services have been performed under contract terms, the service price to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Since these franchises are primarily a mobile concept and do not require finding locations or construction, the franchisees can begin operations as soon as they leave training. The franchise fees are fully collectible and nonrefundable as of the date of the signing of the franchise agreement, but the franchise fees are not recognized as revenue until initial training has been completed and when substantially all of the services required by the franchise agreement have been fulfilled by the Company in accordance with GAAP. Royalty fees are recognized as earned.
 
As of September 30, 2013 the Company had $35,900 in unearned revenue for franchise fees collected but not yet earned per the revenue recognition policy.
 
As of September 30, 2012 the Company had $-0- in unearned revenue for franchise fees collected but not yet earned per the revenue recognition policy.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $455,108 and $324,230, respectively.
 
 
25

 
 
Income Taxes
 
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 earnings (loss) per share
 
ASC 260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. When the company is in loss position, no dilutive effect is considered.
 
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.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
The Company does not expect recently issued accounting standards or interpretations to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
 
(2) Reverse Acquisition
 
On July 2, 2010 Creative Learning Corporation entered into an agreement to exchange securities (the "Agreement") with BFK Franchise Company LLC, acquiring 100% of the outstanding membership interests of BFK Franchise Company LLC through the Agreement calling for the issuance of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 5,240,000 and 1,557,000 shares were issued under the Agreement, with 2,203,000 shares remaining to be issued as of September 30, 2011 and -0- shares remaining at September 30, 2012. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition as the members of BFK Franchise Company LLC retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of Creative Learning Corporation after the share exchange. Effective with the Agreement, the Company's stockholders' equity was retroactively recapitalized as that of BFK Franchise Company LLC, while 100% of the net liabilities of Creative Learning Corporation valued at $200,330 consisting of accounts payable of $26,330 and stock subscriptions payable $174,000, were recorded as being acquired in the reverse acquisition for its 713,000 outstanding common shares. The net liabilities acquired of $200,330 combined with the stock value of $962,500 based on market price on the acquisition date led to the Company recognizing goodwill on the transaction of $1,162,880, which was immediately written off. Subsequent to the July 2, 2010 recapitalization, Creative Learning Corporation and BFK Franchise Company LLC remain separate legal entities (with Creative Learning Corporation as the parent of BFK Franchise Company LLC). The accompanying consolidated financial statements exclude the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Creative Learning Corporation prior to the July 2, 2010. Creative Learning Corporation concurrent with the transaction changed its name from B2 Health, Inc. to Creative Learning Corporation.  Effective with the July 2, 2010 Agreement the Company sold its 100% owned subsidiary Back 2 Health, Ltd. to a company related by common control for a nominal fee.
