12.  Subsequent Events

On July 13, 2015, we announced our plan to cease operations and close our student and adult travel business by the end of 2015.  On August 11, 2015, our board of directors reached the conclusion that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to dissolve and liquidate the Company.  The dissolution was unanimously approved by the board of directors and is subject to shareholder approval.  Over the past several years, we have experienced declining revenues and declining travelers and have explored strategic alternatives and alternative marketing models.  We have also been engaged in a lengthy and intensive evaluation of potential strategic alternatives in order to preserve and maximize shareholder value.  Those potential alternatives included pursuing a strategic transaction with a third party, such as a merger or sale, and dissolving the Company, winding down our remaining operations and distributing net assets to shareholders after making appropriate reserves for liabilities and expenses.
 
In connection with the dissolution, we intend to distribute to shareholders all available cash other than as may be required to pay expenses and pay or make reasonable provision for known and potential claims and obligations as required by applicable law.

In a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 23, 2015, we disclosed our estimates of various cash and non-cash exit costs, including for severance and related compensation benefits, rent and other contract termination fees, acceleration of depreciation and other prepaid costs, and other associated costs related to its closing.  These amounts are estimated below and are not audited:
 
·Approximately $1.3 million to $2.4 million in severance costs, including $0.3 million in non-cash charges for the acceleration of equity awards under the terms of existing separation agreements;
·Non-cash charge of approximately $2.0 million in property and equipment and other asset write-downs;
·Estimated $0.6 million to $1.3 million in various contract termination fees, ongoing maintenance expenditures, and facility and business closure expenses; and
·Approximately $0.4 million to $0.8 million in estimated legal and other professional fees including estimated ongoing insurance costs.
 
We expect to recognize the majority of the charges in the third and fourth quarters of 2015, and no cost or expense associated with the business closure has been recognized in the current period financial statements.
