17. Related Party Transactions

Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of our former parent. The following discussion summarizes activity between us and the former parent prior to the Separation on August 24, 2020 (and its affiliates that are not part of the Separation).

Allocation of General Corporate Expenses

Prior to the Separation, the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) included expenses for certain centralized functions and other programs provided and administered by our former parent that were charged directly to us. In addition, for purposes of preparing these combined financial statements on a carve-out basis, we have allocated a portion of the former parent total corporate and selling, marketing, and distribution expenses to us. See Note 1 – Background, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation for a discussion of the methodology used to allocate corporate-related costs and selling, marketing, and distribution expenses for purposes of preparing these financial statements on a carve-out basis.

Related Party Sales

Our sales to our former parent totaled $15.1 million for the fiscal year 2020.

Net Transfers To and From our former parent

Prior to the Separation, our former parent utilized a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems, which were operated by our former parent. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, which were also maintained by our former parent. As cash was received and disbursed by our former parent, it was accounted for by us through the former parent company investment. Certain related party transactions between us and our former parent have been included within the former parent company investment in the combined balance sheets in the historical periods presented. All notes to and from our former parent were settled in connection with the Separation. The interest income and expense related to the activity with our former parent, that was historically included in our results prior to the Separation, is presented on a net basis in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Interest income on the activity with our former parent was $424,000 during the first four months of our fiscal year 2021, prior to the Separation, and $5.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected as a financing activity in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows.
