Employment Agreements
The President of the Company, Mr. Robert Baskind, has an employment
contract that renews annually on the first day of each year and which entitled
him to a salary of approximately $163,000 during 2008. In accordance with the
terms of the employment contract, he is entitled to five percent increases on a
yearly basis. The employment agreement, as amended, expires in 2015.
Additionally, Mr. Baskind's agreement provides for other customary provisions.
NOTE 9 - Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit
risk include cash and accounts and notes receivable. At March 31, 2009 one
account exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $104,000 and at
December 31, 2008 one account exceeded the federally insured limits by
approximately $119,000. Also, at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company had accounts and notes receivable from franchisees of approximately
$354,000 and $366,000, respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
of approximately $434,000 and $451,000, respectively. Notes receivable, derived
principally from sales of franchises and market areas, are collateralized by the
franchise agreements to which they relate. Presently, a majority of the
Company's franchises are within the states of New York, Florida and Colorado.
NOTE 10 - Related Party Transactions
Franchise Facilities
The Company rents certain Franchise locations owned or leased by the
Company's president and affiliates, which are sublet to Franchisees. For the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, rent
paid to the Company's president and affiliates for real estate sublet was $8,103
and $41,630 respectively. Management believes that the lease payments made by
the Company to these officers, directors, and affiliates are at fair market
value and are approximately equal to the rent charged to the Franchises
occupying each facility.

NOTE 11 - Stock Options
Tilden Associates, Inc. Stock Option Plans
From May 1998 to December 2005, the Company adopted several Tilden
Associates, Inc. Stock Option Plans ("the Plans") on an annual basis. The
Company may issue incentive options for a term of no greater than ten years and
non-incentive stock options for a term of no greater than eleven years. The
incentive stock options may be issued with an exercise price of no less than
100% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. However, in
the case of employees holding greater than 10% of the Company's common stock,
the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the
stock at the time of the grant and the term of the option may not exceed five
years. The non-incentive stock options may be issued with an exercise price of
no less than 50% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant.
Additionally, options may be granted to any eligible person for shares of common
stock of any value provided that the aggregate fair market value of the stock
with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for he first time
during any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000. Additionally, the option
price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, with the
approval of the Board of Directors, in shares of common stock. Further, if prior
to the expiration of the option the employee ceases to be employed by the
Company, the options granted will terminate 90 days after termination of the
employee's employment with the Company.
From 1998 to 2005, the Company granted stock options to purchase a
total of 7,038,300 shares of the Company's common stock at exercise prices
ranging from $0.01 per share to $3.00 per share. Through December 31, 2005,
32,500 options were exercised, 938,800 options expired or were forfeited, and
6,067,000 options remained outstanding at December 31, 2005.
On July 18, 2006, a derivative action was filed challenging the
issuance of stock options by the Company to members of management and the Board
of Directors between 2001 and 2005. In August of 2006, the Company rescinded the
remaining 6,067,000 stock options issued in the years 2001 to 2005. On September
11, 2006, the action was settled.
On December 22, 2008, the Company granted a total of 1,150,000 stock
options (600,000 options to the Company's chief executive officer, 525,000
options to the Company's two other directors, and 25,000 options to a Company
consultant. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.02 per share and expire
in five years.The $7,475 fair value of the options, which was calculated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: $0.01
stock price, $0.02 exercise price, 2% risk free interest rate and 100%
volatility, is being expensed over the requisite service period of five years
beginning January 1, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
Company recorded compensation expense of $374 on the options. At March 31, 2009
total unrecognized compensation costs relating to stock options was $7,101.
NOTE 12 - Franchises and Market Area Activities
Franchises
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company sold
none and one new franchises, respectively. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Company had 46 and 46 active franchised locations, respectively. Throughout each
year several franchises are returned to the Company's control either through
foreclosures or abandonment.
Market Areas
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company sold
no rights to develop new market areas.
NOTE 13 - Retirement Plan
In November, 2006, the Company adopted a qualified deferred arrangement
401(k) plan where employees may contribute up to the Internal Revenue Service
deferred compensation limit for 401(k) plans, which was $15,500 in 2008. The
plan allows the Company to make optional non-elective contributions into the
plan for full-time employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, Company contributions to the plan (which are expensed when incurred) were
$0.
NOTE 14 - Sale of Building
In March 2007, the Company purchased a building in West Babylon, New
York for approximately $819,000. The purchase was financed by cash on hand at
the time of the purchase and by the utilization of a line of credit established
by the Company in 2006. Included in the cost of the building was the purchase of
lease rights, from the franchisee who previously occupied the space, in the
amount of $125,000. Also in March 2007, the Company sold the West Babylon
building for approximately $950,000 resulting in a profit of approximately
$131,000. The contract of sale required that the Company keep $200,000 in escrow
until the building is evacuated and the equipment maintained by the franchisee
is removed. In February 2008, the building was evacuated and the Company
received the balance of funds held in escrow.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
The statements disclosed herein include forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results
could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
competition in the finance industry for franchising companies and retail
automobile and truck repair service, and other risks detailed from time to time
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW
Tilden Associates, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware Corporation. Its
principal business is to sell automotive franchises and to administer and
support full service automotive repair centers carrying its trademarks. The
Company's operations are based at 300 Hempstead Turnpike, West Hempstead, New
York, 11552.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 vs Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Revenue decreased to approximately $296,000 in the first quarter of
2009 from approximately $377,000 in the first quarter of 2008, representing a
21% decrease. The decrease in overall revenue was primarily attributed to
decreases in sales of company owned locations and initial franchise acquisition
fees of approximately $65,000 and $25,000, respectively. The decrease in sales
of company owned locations was attributable to no sales of company owned
locations during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to one in the first
quarter of 2008. The decrease in initial franchise acquisition fees is
attributable to the sale of no new franchise in the first quarter 2009 compared
to one in the first quarter of 2008. The Company's inability to sell franchises
and market areas has been due primarily to the difficulty experienced by its
prospective new franchisees in obtaining credit as a result of the tightening of
the credit markets. Beginning in 2008, the Company has reduced its overhead and
is focusing on supporting its existing franchisees to counter-act the decrease
in new franchise sales.
Operating costs decreased to approximately $119,000 in the first
quarter of 2009 from approximately $153,000 in the first quarter of 2008,
representing a 22% decrease. As a percentage of revenue, operating costs were
40% and 41%, respectively for the periods reported. The overall decrease was
primarily attributable to decreases in rent paid for real estate sublet and the
costs of locations purchased for resale of approximately $20,000 and $15,000,
respectively. These decreases were not offset by any substantial increases which
would require disclosure. The decrease in rent paid for real estate sublet is a
result of the Company's obligation to pay rent on fewer locations during the
first quarter of 2009 as a result of a store closing in 2008 which left the
Company with less obligation for rent on its subleased locations. The decrease
in the costs of locations purchased for resale relates to no new locations
purchased for resale during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to one during
the first quarter of 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately
$184,000 in the first quarter of 2009 from approximately $255,000 in the first
quarter of 2008, representing a 28% decrease. The changes in the composition of
selling, general and administrative expenses during the first quarter were
predominately attributed to a decrease in bad debt expense and professional fees
of approximately $59,000 and $10,000, respectively. These decreases were
partially offset by increases in office expense and trade show expense of $2,000
and $2,000 respectively. The decrease in bad debt expense during the first
quarter of 2009 was attributable to a decrease in the number of franchises
requiring reserve and write-off during the period. The decrease in professional
fees was attributable to a reduction in legal fees incurred during the first
quarter of 2009 as compared with the first quarter of 2008.
10

December 31, 2008. Cash used for operating activities in the first quarter of
2009 was approximately $35,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities
in the first quarter of 2008 of approximately $8,000.
Cash and accounts and notes receivable decreased to approximately
$823,000 at March 31, 2009 from approximately $870,000 at December 31, 2008,
while accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased to approximately $203,000
at March 31, 2009 from approximately $250,000 at December 31, 2008.
Although the Company plans to continue to expand to the extent that
resources are available, the Company has no firm commitments for capital
expenditures in other areas of its business. The Company's current business plan
and objective is to continue expanding the number of franchises in its system
through sales of new franchises, as well as through acquisitions of other
franchises similar to the acquisitions they have done in the past.
The Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not contemplate
paying any in the foreseeable future.
Some of the Company's subsidiaries lease properties on which franchisees are
located. The franchisees typically pay rent to these subsidiaries and, in some
cases, may pay rent directly to the lessor.
The Company has approximately $419,000 in working capital. The Company believes
that its working capital and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to
implement its business plan.
The Company has secured a $250,000 line of credit. As of March 31, 2009, the
Company has not utilized the line.
In addition, several franchisees are significantly in arrears in the payment of
royalties. Management, however, has addressed these arrearages and resolutions
are negotiated with the franchisees on an individual basis.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the
financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K. Our financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The following policies, we believe,
are our most critical accounting policies and are explained below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in several ways: Initial fees from sale
of franchises, market area sales to market developer partners, royalties (as a
percentage of gross revenues) from franchisees, equipment sales, rental of
premises to franchisees and the operation of Company owned automotive repair
centers which are developed for potential sale to franchisees.
Franchise fee revenue for initial franchise fees and from market area
sales to market developer partners is recognized upon the execution of a
franchise agreement and when all material services or conditions relating to the
sale have been successfully completed by the Company. Market developer partners
receive a percentage of royalty fees for development and management of their
market and are responsible for substantially all training and other services
required in opening new franchises in their regions.
Equipment sales are recorded upon delivery and installation of
equipment to franchisees.
