1114jlb-ga,


Here are links to:


http://134.186.208.228/caleasi/PDFDocs/003785661.PDF
Good Feet Franchise Offering Circular



http://134.186.208.228/caleasi/search.asp?TASKNAME=xShowPDF&DocID=003785660
Salesman Disclosure Form



http://134.186.208.228/caleasi/search.asp?TASKNAME=xShowPDF&DocID=003785663
Franchise Agreement



There are actually dozens of documents available for the Good Feet
franchise, all of which were filed with -- and available online
through -- the California Deparment of Corporations, and their service
known as "The California Electronic Access to Securities and Franchise
Information":



http://134.186.208.228/caleasi/pub/exsearch.htm



To see all the filings, head to the above link and enter [ good feet ]
in the 'Company Name' box, and hit 'Search'.


This will bring up a list of nine 'packages'   Click on package #
33418 to get started -- these are the main documents filed for the
Good Feet franchise, and include all the materials I already linked to
above.

But you will probably want to check out all the other packages as
well, as these include a great deal of additional information.


By the way, you may also be interested in this document from
Washington State involving some sort of fraud case against Good Feet:

I trust this information fully answers your question.

However, please don't rate this answer until you have everything you
need.  If there's anything more I can do for you, just post a Request

Request for Answer Clarification by 1114jlb-ga on 28 Jun 2005 12:44 PDT
Thank you for your very timely response which appears to be directly
on point.  However, the documents were prepared and filed in 2003. The
company was sold in 2004, and the new owners have filed new documents
sometime in late 2004 or early 2005.

Can you provide later reports?  AND  please advise concerning the
source of your response, as it will be necessary to document my
report.

Thanks

1114lb-ga,

I'll be glad to continue working on this for you, but I'm not clear
about some things.

If you go back to the Cal-EASI search site, and search for [ Good Feet
], the results page looks like this:

===============
 Package Filing Name Company Name Filing Type File Date   
  25813  LOEN GOOD FEET STORE OF TORRANCE INC-CA Securities Notice 03/17/2003   
  33418  Franchise Registration GOOD FEET WORLDWIDE INC Franchise
Application 05/12/2003
  58412  F-Post-Effective Amendments GOOD FEET WORLDWIDE INC Franchise

01/28/2005
  133710  Internet Advertisement Exemption GOOD FEET WORLDWIDE LLC -
Franchise Notice 04/27/2005
===============

You'll notice that some of the documents here were filed in late 2004
and into 2005 as well.  So I presume these documents represent the
current standing of the company.

Do you have reason to suspect that this is not the case?

Also, please tell me everything you know about the change of ownership
of Good Feet.  How do you know the company was sold?  Who is the new
ownership company?  Where are they located?  When did the sale happen?

Any other details you can provide would be most helpful.

Thanks,

pafalafa-ga
