At September 30, 2008, we had $271,759 in notes payable outstanding to non-related parties, currently due, bearing interest at rates from 10 to 12 percent per annum, and convertible into common stock at $1 to $3 per share. Accrued interest payable under the notes at September 30, 2008 was $238,580. During 2009, the noteholders agreed to cancel the conversion feature and settle their notes upon payment of cumulative settlement amounts totaling $25,650 in cash and 20,000 common shares. The note settlements were finalized in the first quarter of fiscal year September 30, 2009. An officer provided (out of his personal shares in Franchise Holdings International, Inc.) the 20,000 shares for the note settlement. Pursuant to the note settlement, the noteholders, who were owed a total of $510,339, were given 20,000 of the Company's common shares (by an officer out of his personal holdings) in settlement of $170,729 and  $25,650 in cash as full settlement, resulting in a gain on debt relief for the Company totaling $313,960.

In 2003, an $18,000 note with an automatic conversion feature was recorded as a stock subscription payable for 6,000 common shares upon conversion. During the year ended September 30, 2009, an officer provided (out of his personal shares in Franchise Holdings International, Inc.) the 6,000 shares to settle the stock subscription payable.
