What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mr. Sandless's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company evaluates events after the balance sheet date to ensure the financial statements accurately reflect the company's financial condition. Specifically, Mr. Sandless evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.
The purpose of this evaluation is to identify any events that might require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. This includes both recognized and nonrecognized subsequent events. For example, if a major lawsuit was filed against Mr. Sandless after the balance sheet date but before the financials were issued, this would need to be evaluated to determine if it should be disclosed.

This process helps ensure that the financial statements provide a fair and accurate view of Mr. Sandless's financial position for prospective franchisees.
