FranchisesFranchises
• Franchise revenue recognized from two sources:
– Initial Franchise Fee: sale of initial franchises and related assets or services
– Continuing Franchise Fees: based on franchise operations
3
Initial Franchise FeeInitial Franchise Fee• Recorded as revenue only when and as the
franchisor has established substantial performance:a) The services obligated to be performed have
been so performed• No obligation to refund any portion of the
fee received to date• Substantial performance of required
servicesb) Collection of the fee is reasonably assured
• The beginning of operations normally considered the earliest time substantial performance has occurred

Continuing Franchise FeesContinuing Franchise Fees
• Received in return for continuing rights under the franchise agreement and provision of services by franchisor
• Reported as revenues when they are earned and receivable from the franchisee
• If an amount is included which is “ear-marked” for a specific purpose e.g. for local advertising, that amount is deferred
9
Special IssuesSpecial Issues
• Bargain Purchase
– When the franchisee may purchase assets at a lower than market price from the franchisor
– Portion of initial franchise fee is deferred if the bargain price is lower than normal selling price or if franchisor does not make a reasonable profit
– Adjustment to selling price when assets are purchased by the franchisee
10
Special IssuesSpecial Issues
• Options to Purchase– Where the franchisor has the right to
purchase the franchisee’s business– Initial franchise fee recorded as a liability if
it is probable that a purchase will occur– When option is exercised, the liability
would reduce the franchisor’s investment
11
Special IssuesSpecial Issues
• Franchisor’s Cost– Overall objective is to match related costs
and revenues– Direct costs are deferred for any specific
franchise sale where revenue has not been recognized
– Indirect costs, such as selling and administrative expenses, are expensed as incurred
12
Disclosures of FranchisorsDisclosures of Franchisors
• Full disclosure of all significant commitments and obligations is required
• Description of services yet to be performed is also required
• Initial franchise fees are reported as a separate revenue line item if significant
• Revenues and costs of franchisor-owned outlets should be disclosed separate from the revenues and costs of franchised outlets
