The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in June 1995 and
is in the business of selling automotive franchises and administering and

expansion plans for several additional states.
NOTE 2 - Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments,
which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of June 30, 2008 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The financial data and other
information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related
to these periods are unaudited. The results for the six months ended June 30,
2008 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any
subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2008. The balance
sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. These unaudited

franchise and market area rights in the amount of $256,464. The impaired rights
had an original cost of $337,712 and accumulated amortization of $81,248. Prior
to 2007, the Company had been testing the carrying value of the rights by
considering the values of franchise networks purchased in the aggregate rather
than identifying individual franchise rights requiring write-down. Of the
intangible assets listed above, only trademarks have been amortized for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in the amounts of $1,122 and $776,

In August, 2006, the Company secured a revolving line of credit with a
stated rate of interest of prime plus one percentage point. The line is secured
by the assets of the Company. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the
Company utilized the line to help finance the purchase of a building, which it
later sold within the year. The Company used part of the proceeds on the sale to
pay down the line in full. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not utilized any
of the available line of credit.
NOTE 7 - Income Taxes
Tilden Associates Inc. and its subsidiaries have elected to file a
consolidated income tax return for Federal and New York State income tax
purposes. Tax expense is allocated to each subsidiary based on the proportion of
its taxable income to the total consolidated taxable income.

Consolidated income tax expense consisted of the following:

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from
income and expense items reported in different periods of financial accounting
and tax purposes. The sources of deferred income taxes and their tax effects are
the result of nondeductible provisions for doubtful accounts and net operating
loss carryforwards. The benefit resulting from deferred taxes has been fully
reserved.
A reconciliation of the expected income tax expense (benefit) to
reported income tax follows:

Net operating loss carryovers at December 31, 2007 were approximately
$285,000 and will expire in 2027. The Company does not anticipate fully
utilizing these carryovers in 2008.
NOTE 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company, through various subsidiaries, sub-lets properties to
several franchisees. Additionally, several franchisees sub-let property from
affiliates of the Company's President (See Note 10). Franchisees typically pay
rent on these properties to the subsidiaries. In some circumstances, franchisees
may pay rent directly to the lessors of the operating leases. Future minimum
lease payments under these operating leases for the years ended December 31, are
as follows:
8
2008 $ 156,816
2009 302,447
2010 248,381
2011 233,921
2012 200,851
2013 and thereafter 861,046
------------
$ 2,003,462
============
|
The company leases an office in New York under an agreement that
commenced in October 2003 and expires in September 2008. Total gross rent
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $12,756 and $6,721,
respectively. Future minimum lease payments under this operating lease for the
year ended December 31, 2008 is $3,060.
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 $155,000 during 2007. 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 2010.
Additionally, Mr. Baskind's agreement provides for other customary provisions.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are
subject to various claims and legal proceedings. If management believes that a
loss arising from these matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the
Company records the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated
liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the
range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes
available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the
estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information,
management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and
in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or overall trends in results of operations.
NOTE 9 - Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit
risk include cash and accounts and notes receivable. At June 30, 2008 two
accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $276,000 and at
December 31, 2007 two accounts exceeded the federally insured limits by
approximately $272,000. Also, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company had accounts and notes receivable from franchisees of approximately
$402,900 and $356,300, respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
of approximately $450,200 and $367,900, 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, Texas 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 six
months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, rent paid to
the Company's president and affiliates for real estate sublet was $27,675 and
$67,706 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
9
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 the 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
stock options issued in the years 2001 to 2005. On September 11, 2006, the
action was settled.
No stock options were granted in 2007 or in the six months ended June
30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, there are no stock options outstanding.
NOTE 12 - Other Receivable
On May 5, 2004, Oilmatic Franchising Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company ("Oilmatic"), was formed for the purpose of selling franchises
for the system developed by Oilmatic International, LLC ("International").
Through December 31 2005, the Company advanced $79,258 to Oilmatic in connection
with its formation and the acquisition of the exclusive franchise rights for
certain locations from International. In November 2005, Oilmatic agreed to
terminate its franchise rights and International agreed to pay the Company
$65,000 payable in eighteen equal monthly installments of $3,611 commencing
January, 2006. As of June 30, 2008, the balance receivable on the agreement was
$4,722.
NOTE 13 - Franchises and Market Area Activities
Franchises
During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company sold
one and two new franchises, respectively. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the
Company had 45 and 51 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company sold no
rights to develop new market areas.
NOTE 14 - 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 2007. The
plan allows the Company to make optional non-elective contributions into the
plan for full-time employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Company
contributions to the plan (which are expensed when incurred) were $0.
NOTE 15 - 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.

On March 27, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization with Extreme Mobile Coatings, Inc. ("Extreme"),
Extreme Acquisition Company, Inc.("Extreme Acquisition") and TFB Acquisition
Company, LLC ("TFB"), which contemplated the Company's acquisition of Extreme,
by way of a merger of Extreme Acquisition, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, with and into Extreme. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the
existing shareholders of Extreme were to be issued 9,355,000 unregistered shares
of the Company's common stock after giving effect to a proposed 1 for17 reverse
split of the Company's common stock and Extreme was to become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The shares were to represent approximately 94% of the
Company's outstanding common stock after completion of the merger. Extreme is in
the business of (1) offering franchises to operate a mobile business which
provides painting or coatings on various surfaces using a patented system and
(2) operating a mobile coating business in Kentucky. The agreement also
contemplated that at the time of the merger into Extreme, the assets owned by
the Company in connection with conducting its existing business (the "Automotive
Assets") were to be sold to TFB, a newly formed company controlled by Robert
Baskind, Chairman and President of the Company. The purchase price for the
Automotive Assets was to consist of (1) the assumption of substantially all of
the Company's liabilities, (2) the release of the Company by Mr. Baskind from
all existing and future claims, liabilities and obligations under his employment
agreement with the Company and (3) the surrender of 75,000 shares of the
Company's common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split, for
cancellation. As a result of the merger and the disposition of the Company's
existing business to TFB, the business of Extreme was to represent the Company's
sole line of business after the closing of transactions contemplated by the
merger. In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the merger agreement, the directors and officers of the Company, were to be
replaced by designees of Extreme. The closing of the transactions contemplated
by the merger agreement were scheduled to take place within five days after the
date when each of the conditions precedent to closing set forth in the merger
agreement were fulfilled, including, among others, approval of such transactions
by the stockholders of the Company. In June 2008, the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization was terminated.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 vs Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenue decreased to approximately $256,000 in the second quarter of
2008 from approximately $319,000 in the second quarter of 2007, representing a
20% decrease. The decrease in overall revenue was primarily attributed to
decreases in royalty fees, sales of equipment purchased for resale and sales
from the operation of company owned stores of approximately $26,000, $23,000 and
$13,000, respectively. The decrease in royalties was attributable to a net
reduction of six franchises due to store closings since July, 2007. The decrease
in sales of equipment purchased for resale was attributable to fewer stores
requiring equipment in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter
of 2007. The decrease in sales from the operation of company owned stores was
attributable to the closing of its Texas store in 2007 which left the Company
with no sales from operation of company owned stores during the second quarter
of 2008.
Cost of revenues decreased to approximately $118,000 in the second
quarter of 2008 from approximately $180,000 in the second quarter of 2007,
representing a 44% decrease. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenues were
46% and 56%, respectively for the periods reported. The overall decrease was
primarily attributable to decreases in the rent paid for real estate sublet,
costs of the equipment for resale, and costs of operation of company owned
stores of approximately $26,000, $19,000 and $9,000, respectively. The decrease
in rent paid for real estate sublease was a result of decreased rent paid on
locations, which are either sublet to franchisees or incurred upon the Company's
operation of company owned locations. The decrease in the costs of equipment for
resale relates to fewer stores requiring equipment in the second quarter of 2008
compared to the second quarter of 2007.The decrease in costs of operation of
company owned stores was a result of the Company's closing of its company owned
location in 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
$196,000 in the second quarter of 2008 from approximately $162,000 in the second
quarter of 2007, representing a 21% increase. The changes in the composition of
selling, general and administrative expenses during the second quarter were
predominately attributed to increases in bad debt expense, officer's salary and
insurance of approximately $14,000, $13,000 and $9,000, respectively. The
increase in bad debt expense during the second quarter of 2008 was attributable
to an increase in the number of franchises requiring reserve for bad debt during
the period, which the Company believes is a result of the economic downturn
affecting many of its franchised locations. The increase in officer's salary is
attributable to a change made during the second quarter of 2008, in the timing
of how the Company's chief executive officer receives his compensation. The
increase in insurance was attributable to the Company's initiation of a
directors and officer's insurance policy during the second quarter of 2008.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 vs Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenue decreased to approximately $633,000 through the second quarter
of 2008 from approximately $754,000 through the second quarter of 2007,
representing a 16% decrease. The decrease in overall revenue was primarily
attributed to decreases in sales from the operation of company owned stores,
royalty fees, initial franchise acquisition fees and sales of equipment
purchased for resale of approximately $122,000, $34,000,$25,000 and $23,000,
respectively. These decreases were offset by increases in sales of company owned
locations and in rental income of approximately $65,000 and $19,000,
respectively. The decrease in sales from the operation of company owned stores
was attributable to the closing of its Texas store in 2007 which left the
Company with no sales from operation of company owned stores during through the
second quarter of 2008. The decrease in royalties was attributable to a net
reduction of six franchises due to store closings since July of 2007. The
decrease in initial franchise acquisition fees is attributable to the sale of
one new franchise through the second quarter 2008 compared to two through the
second quarter of 2007. The decrease in sales of equipment purchased for resale
was attributable to fewer stores requiring equipment during the first six months
of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007. The increase in sale of
company owned location is attributable to the Company's sale of one company
owned location through the second quarter 2008 compared to no sale of company
owned locations through the second quarter 2007. The increase in rental revenue
was primarily attributable to the increase in franchises obligated to the
Company under sub-lease agreements through the second quarter of 2008 compared
to through the second quarter of 2007, a result of the franchising of a company
owned location, which now pays rent to the Company.
12
Cost of revenues decreased to approximately $272,000 through the second
quarter of 2008 from approximately $460,000 through the second quarter of 2007,
representing a 41% decrease. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenues were
43% and 61%, respectively for the periods reported. The overall decrease was
primarily attributable to decreases in the costs of the operation of company
owned stores, broker fees and costs of equipment for resale of approximately
$125,000, $41,000 and $19,000, respectively. These decreases have been offset by
an increase in cost of locations purchased for resale of approximately $15,000.
The decrease in the costs of the operation of Company-owned stores was a result
of the closing of its Texas store in 2007, which left the Company with no cost
of operation of company owned stores through the first six months of 2008. The
decrease in broker fees was attributable to the decrease in market area and new
franchise sales, on which the Company often pays broker fees, through the second
quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in the
costs of equipment for resale relates to fewer stores requiring equipment
through the second quarter of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. The
increase in costs of locations purchased for resale relates to the cost incurred
in connection with its sale of one company owned location through the second
quarter of 2008 as compared to no sales of company locations through the first
six months of 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
$451,000 through the second quarter of 2008 from approximately $374,000 through
the second quarter of 2007, representing a 21% increase. The changes in the
composition of selling, general and administrative expenses through the second
quarter were predominately attributed to increases in bad debt expense,
officer's salary and insurance expense of approximately $86,000, $14,000 and
$10,000 offset by decreases in professional fees and training expenses of
approximately $18,000 and $8,000, respectively. The increase in bad debt expense
through the second quarter of 2008 was attributable to an increase in the number
of franchises requiring reserve for bad debt during the period, which the
Company believes is a result of the economic downturn affecting many of its
franchised locations. The increase in officer's salary is attributable to a
change made during the second quarter of 2008, in the timing of how the
Company's chief executive officer receives his compensation. The increase in
insurance was attributable to the Company's initiation of a directors and
officer's insurance policy during the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in
professional fees is attributable to the Company's incurring of increased
professional fees in connection with the contemplated asset purchase and
reorganization agreement which the Company attempted to execute in 2007 as
compared with professional fees incurred through the second quarter 2008. The
decrease in training expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in
prospective new franchisees, who required training, through the second quarter
of 2008 as compared with training expenses incurred through the second quarter
of 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at June 30, 2008 was approximately $268,000, compared
to working capital of approximately $408,000 at December 31, 2007. The ratio of

Critical Accounting Policies:
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the
financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB. 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.
