Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Creative Learning Corporation (the “Company”) hereby updates the status of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company expects to complete its audit for the just-completed fiscal year, and file its Form 10-K on or about February 15, 2020. The Company’s delay in filing its Form 10-K is due to the complexities of implementing a new accounting rule, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), which the Company adopted as of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. 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. Specifically, 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. Also, the commissions related to franchise sales are now recorded as an asset 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. The Company believes that its revenues, net income and operating cash flow for the three months and year ended September 30, 2019 will be consistent with prior periods assuming the Company was subject to Topic 606 in all prior periods.

The Company expects to release this information orally to its shareholders on a case by case basis.
