ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
·
|
Sales – Our consolidated net sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2018 increased 10 percent and totaled $46.5 million, compared with $42.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year. In addition to the recognition of previously deferred high-margin subscription revenues, our sales were also favorably impacted by increased Education segment revenues, increased international direct office sales, increased revenues from businesses acquired in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2017, increased book and audio sales, and increased government services revenues. These increases were partially offset by decreased legacy facilitator and onsite revenues during the quarter.
|
·
|
Cost of Sales/Gross Profit – Our cost of goods sold was $13.8 million for the quarter ending February 28, 2018, compared with $14.2 million in the prior year. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $32.7 million compared with $28.0 million in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2017, and increased primarily due to increased sales, as described above. Our consolidated gross margin was 70.3 percent of sales compared with 66.4 percent in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to a change in the mix of revenues as high-margin subscription revenues, including the All Access Pass, continue to grow.
|
·
|
Operating Expenses – Our operating expenses for the second quarter increased by $5.4 million compared with the prior year, which was primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, a $0.7 million increase in amortization expense, and a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset by $1.5 million of contract termination costs that did not repeat in fiscal 2018. Increased SG&A expenses were primarily related to increased associate costs resulting from investments in new sales and sales related personnel, especially in our Education Division, new implementation specialists, and increased commission expense resulting from higher sales; $1.4 million of increased expense from the change in the fair value of contingent liabilities from business acquisitions; and increased advertising expense primarily to promote the All Access Pass.
|
·
|
Operating Loss and Net Loss – Our loss from operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2018 was $(5.1) million compared with a loss of $(4.5) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $(2.7) million, or $(.20) per share, compared with a net loss of $(3.3) million, or $(.24) per share, in the prior year.

On January 23, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. All previously existing common stock repurchase plans were canceled and the new common share repurchase plan does not have an expiration date. On March 27, 2015, our Board of Directors increased the aggregate value of shares of Company common stock that may be purchased under the January 2015 plan to $40.0 million so long as we have either $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents or have access to debt financing of at least $10.0 million. Under the terms of this expanded common stock repurchase plan, we have purchased 1,539,828 shares of our common stock for $26.8 million through February 28, 2018.

Amount excludes 1,934 shares of our common stock that were withheld for statutory taxes on stock-based compensation awards vested to employees during the quarter ended February 28, 2018. The withheld shares were valued at the market price on the date that the shares were distributed to participants and were acquired at a weighted average price of $19.58 per share.

Basis Of Presentation | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION General Franklin Covey Co. (hereafter referred to as us, we, our, or the Company) is a global company focused on individual and organizational performance improvement. Our mission is to “enable greatness in people and organizations everywhere,” and our employees worldwide are organized to help individuals and organizations achieve sustained superior performance through changes in human behavior. We are fundamentally a content and solutions company, and we believe that our offerings and services create the connection between capabilities and results. Our expertise extends to seven crucial areas: Leadership, Execution, Productivity, Trust, Educational Improvement, Sales Performance, and Customer Loyalty. We believe that our clients are able to utilize our content to create cultures whose hallmarks are high-performing, collaborative individuals, led by effective, trust-building leaders who execute with excellence and deliver measurably improved results for all of their key stakeholders. In the training and consulting marketplace, we believe there are three important characteristics that distinguish us from our competitors.
We are committed to, and measure ourselves by, our clients’ achievement of transformational results. We have some of the best-known offerings in the training industry, including a suite of individual-effectiveness and leadership-development training content based on the best-selling books, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Speed of Trust, and The 4 Disciplines of Execution, and proprietary content in the areas of Execution, Sales Performance, Productivity, Educational Improvement, and Customer Loyalty. Our offerings are described in further detail at www.franklincovey.com. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our fiscal year ends on August 31 of each year. During fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors approved a change to our fiscal quarter ending dates from a modified 52/53-week calendar, in which quarterly periods ended on different dates from year-to-year, to the last day of the calendar month in each quarter. The change was made to improve comparability between fiscal periods. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2017, our fiscal quarters end on the last day of November, February, and May. We do not believe that the change in quarter ending dates had a material impact on the comparability of financial results for the quarter or two quarters ended February 28, 2018 with the prior year. Our sales primarily consist of training and consulting services. In fiscal 2017, we exited the publishing business in Japan, which significantly reduced our sales of tangible products in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018. Due to the immateriality of product and leasing sales (approximately four percent of consolidated revenues during the first two quarters of 2018 combined) compared with our training and consulting sales, we have condensed our reported sales and cost of sales into one line for presentation purposes. The results of operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2018, or for any future periods. Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of items on the statement of cash flows. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies’ annual periods, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. On September 1, 2017, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements during the two quarters ended February 28, 2018. Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new standard was issued in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and is designed to create a single, principles-based process by which all businesses calculate revenue. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard replaces numerous individual, industry-specific revenue rules found in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We are required to adopt this standard on September 1, 2018, and apply the new guidance during interim periods within fiscal 2019. The new standard may be adopted using the “full retrospective” or “modified retrospective” approach. We are continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on our financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures, and we have not yet determined the method of adoption nor the full impact that the standard will have on our reported revenue or results of operations. We currently believe that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will not significantly change the recognition of revenues associated with the delivery of onsite presentations and facilitator material sales. However, the recognition of revenues associated with intellectual property licenses, such as our All Access Pass, and other revenue streams may be more significantly impacted by the new standard. The Company will continue to assess the new standard along with industry trends and additional interpretive guidance, and it may adjust its implementation plan accordingly. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on our operating cash flows. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The guidance in ASU 2016-10 clarifies aspects of Topic 606 related to identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related core principles for those areas. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09) discussed above. As of February 28, 2018, we have not yet determined the full impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on our reported revenue or results of operations. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new lease accounting standard is the result of a collaborative effort with the IASB (similar to the new revenue standard described above), although some differences remain between the two standards. This new standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. For public companies, the new lease standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. For leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. While we expect the adoption of this new standard will increase reported assets and liabilities, as of February 28, 2018, we have not yet determined the full impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS At February 28, 2018, the carrying value of our financial instruments approximated their fair values. The fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities from business acquisitions are considered “level 3” measurements because we use various estimates in the valuation models to project the timing and amount of future contingent payments. The valuation models described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017 were utilized during the current period (with updated estimates) to arrive at the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities from the fiscal 2017 acquisitions of Robert Gregory Partners (RGP) and Jhana Education (Jhana) changed as follows during the two quarters ended February 28, 2018 (in thousands):
Approximately $1.0 million of the RGP and $1.9 million of the Jhana contingent consideration liabilities were recorded as components of accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2018. The remainder of our contingent consideration liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities. Due to the timing of the first $1.1 million of the Jhana contingent liability payment (within 90 days of the acquisition date), the amount was classified as a component of investing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the two quarters ended February 28, 2018. Adjustments to the fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation | NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The cost of our stock-based compensation plans is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total cost of our stock-based compensation plans was as follows for the periods presented (in thousands):
During the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018, we issued 40,814 shares and 292,048 shares of our common stock to employees for stock-based compensation awards. Our stock-based compensation plans allow shares to be withheld to cover statutory income taxes if so elected by the award recipient. During the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018, we withheld 1,934 shares and 104,699 shares, respectively, of our common stock to cover statutory taxes on stock-based compensation awards that vested during fiscal 2018. The following is a description of the developments in our stock-based compensation plans during the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018. Performance Awards On November 14, 2017, the Organization and Compensation Committee (the Compensation Committee) of the Board of Directors granted a new performance-based long-term incentive plan (LTIP) award to our executive officers and members of senior management. The fiscal 2018 LTIP award has three tranches, which consist of the following: 1) shares that vest after three years of service; 2) the achievement of certain levels of fiscal 2020 qualified adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA); and 3) fiscal 2020 subscription sales. Twenty-five percent of a participant’s award vests after three years of service, and the number of shares awarded in this tranche will not fluctuate based on financial measures. The number of shares granted in this tranche totals 42,883 shares. The remaining two tranches of the award are divided between the achievement of certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA and subscription sales recognized in fiscal 2020. The number of shares that will vest to participants for these two tranches is variable and may be 50 percent of the award (minimum award threshold) up to 200 percent of the participant’s award (maximum threshold). The maximum number of shares that may be awarded in connection with these tranches totals 257,300 shares. The fiscal 2018 LTIP has a three-year life and expires on August 31, 2020. Compensation expense recognized during the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018, for performance awards includes expense related to awards granted in previous periods for which the performance conditions are probable of being achieved. Unvested Share Awards Our annual unvested share award granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors is administered under the terms of the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and is designed to provide our non-employee directors, who are not eligible to participate in our employee stock purchase plan, an opportunity to obtain an interest in the Company through the acquisition of shares of our common stock. The annual unvested award is granted in January (following the annual shareholders’ meeting) of each year. For the fiscal 2018 award, each eligible director received a whole-share grant equal to $100,000 with a one-year vesting period. Our unvested share activity during the two quarters ended February 28, 2018 consisted of the following:
At February 28, 2018, there was approximately $0.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense remaining on the fiscal 2018 Board of Director unvested share award.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan We have an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that offers qualified employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85 percent of the average fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter. During the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018, we issued 11,204 shares and 21,091 shares, respectively, of our common stock to participants in the ESPP. At the annual meeting shareholders held on January 26, 2018, our shareholders approved the Franklin Covey Co. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan). The Plan replaced the Franklin Covey Co. 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which previously expired. The Plan authorized an additional 1,000,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments, of common stock for issuance to ESPP participants. For further information regarding the Plan, including the full text of the Plan, please refer to our definitive Proxy Statement as filed with the SEC on December 22, 2017.

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the 2017 Tax Act) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The 2017 Tax Act significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax code by, among other things, lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; eliminating certain deductions; imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax, or deemed repatriation tax, on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of 2017 that were previously tax deferred; introducing new tax regimes; and changing how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax. Since we have an August 31 fiscal year end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of 25.7 percent for fiscal 2018 and 21 percent rate for subsequent fiscal years. Other provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will not be effective for us until fiscal 2019, including limitations on the deductibility of interest and executive compensation as well as anti-deferral provisions on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. Due to the complexities of implementing the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act and permits a measurement period, not to exceed one year from the enactment date, for companies to complete the required analyses and accounting. During the quarter ended February 28, 2018, we recorded a one-time income tax benefit of $1.2 million as a provisional estimate of the effects of the 2017 Tax Act. The benefit resulted primarily from the re-measurement of net deferred tax liabilities at the lower enacted U.S. federal corporate tax rate. We did not establish a provisional valuation allowance against our foreign tax credit carryforward deferred tax asset, notwithstanding the reduced U.S. tax rate. The 2017 Tax Act allows us to increase our computed foreign-source income, essentially offsetting the impact of the reduced U.S. tax rate on our ability to use foreign tax credit carryforwards in the future. We did not record any provisional income tax expense related to the deemed repatriation of accumulated earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. We expect foreign tax credits to fully offset the deemed repatriation tax. As we complete our analysis of the 2017 Tax Act, finalize our fiscal 2017 federal and state income tax returns, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments to the provisional tax amounts. Those adjustments may materially impact our provision or benefit for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made.

Loss Per Share | NOTE 6 – LOSS PER SHARE The following is a reconciliation from basic loss per share (EPS) to diluted EPS (in thousands, except per-share amounts).
Since we incurred a net loss for the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2018, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because such effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of dilutive stock options and other stock-based awards for the quarter ended February 28, 2018 would have been approximately 223,000 shares. Other securities, including stock-based compensation instruments, may have a dilutive effect upon our EPS calculation in future periods if we achieve specified performance targets.

Segment Information | NOTE 7 – SEGMENT INFORMATION Our sales are primarily comprised of training and consulting services. Consistent with changes during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 in our organization to promote the sale of subscription-based offerings, our internal reporting structure was revised and is now comprised of three operating segments and a corporate services group. The former Strategic Markets operating segment was absorbed by the Direct Office operating segment since their target customers and sales methodologies were essentially identical. The remaining operating segments were determined to be reportable segments under the applicable accounting guidance. The following is a brief description of our reportable segments:
We determined that the Company’s chief operating decision maker continues to be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and the primary measurement tool used in business unit performance analysis is Adjusted EBITDA, which may not be calculated as similarly titled amounts disclosed by other companies. For reporting purposes, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated as our income or loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation expense, amortization expense, and certain other charges such as restructuring charges and adjustments for changes in the fair value of contingent liabilities from business acquisitions. Prior period segment financial information was reclassified to conform to our current reporting and operating structure. Our operations are not capital intensive and we do not own any manufacturing facilities or equipment. Accordingly, we do not allocate assets to the reportable segments for analysis purposes. Interest expense and interest income are primarily generated at the corporate level and are not allocated. Income taxes are likewise calculated and paid on a corporate level (except for entities that operate in foreign jurisdictions) and are not allocated for analysis purposes.
We account for the following segment information on the same basis as the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands).
As a result of the change in our segments, all of the goodwill previously included in the Strategic Markets segment was reassigned to the Direct Office segment. As of February 28, 2018, our goodwill balances were $16.8 million in the Direct Offices segment, $2.3 million in the Education Practice segment, and $5.1 million in the International Licensee segment. In conjunction with the change in reportable segments, we evaluated goodwill in the Direct Offices and Strategic Markets reportable segments for impairment, both before and after the segment change, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.
A reconciliation of our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net loss is provided below (in thousands).

Investment In FC Organizational Products [Abstract] | |
Investment In FC Organizational Products | NOTE 8 – INVESTMENT IN FC ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTS We own a 19.5 percent interest in FC Organizational Products (FCOP), an entity that purchased substantially all of our consumer solution business unit assets in fiscal 2008 for the purpose of selling planners and related organizational products under a comprehensive licensing agreement. Due to significant operating losses incurred after the establishment of FCOP, we reconsidered whether FCOP was a variable interest entity as defined under FASC 810, and determined that FCOP was a variable interest entity. We further determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FCOP because we do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact FCOP’s economic performance, which primarily consist of the day-to-day sale of planning products and related accessories, and we do not have an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from FCOP that could potentially be significant. We account for our investment in FCOP using the equity method of accounting. However, we have not recorded our share of FCOP’s losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations because we have impaired and written off investment balances in previous periods, as defined within the applicable accounting guidance, in excess of our share of FCOP’s losses through February 28, 2018. The operations of FCOP are primarily financed by the sale of planning products and accessories in the normal course of business. The majority of FCOP’s sales and cash flows are seasonal and occur between October and January. Accordingly, we generally receive payment on outstanding receivables during our second and third quarters of each fiscal year. At February 28, 2018 we had $0.8 million (net of $0.6 million discount) receivable from FCOP, compared with $1.7 million (net of $0.7 million discount) receivable at August 31, 2017. These receivables are classified as components of current and long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on expected payment dates. During the quarter ended February 28, 2018, we received $1.1 million of cash from FCOP for payment on these receivables.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our fiscal year ends on August 31 of each year. During fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors approved a change to our fiscal quarter ending dates from a modified 52/53-week calendar, in which quarterly periods ended on different dates from year-to-year, to the last day of the calendar month in each quarter. The change was made to improve comparability between fiscal periods. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2017, our fiscal quarters end on the last day of November, February, and May. We do not believe that the change in quarter ending dates had a material impact on the comparability of financial results for the quarter or two quarters ended February 28, 2018 with the prior year. Our sales primarily consist of training and consulting services. In fiscal 2017, we exited the publishing business in Japan, which significantly reduced our sales of tangible products in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018. Due to the immateriality of product and leasing sales (approximately four percent of consolidated revenues during the first two quarters of 2018 combined) compared with our training and consulting sales, we have condensed our reported sales and cost of sales into one line for presentation purposes. The results of operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2018, or for any future periods.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued And Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of items on the statement of cash flows. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies’ annual periods, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. On September 1, 2017, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements during the two quarters ended February 28, 2018.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new standard was issued in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and is designed to create a single, principles-based process by which all businesses calculate revenue. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard replaces numerous individual, industry-specific revenue rules found in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We are required to adopt this standard on September 1, 2018, and apply the new guidance during interim periods within fiscal 2019. The new standard may be adopted using the “full retrospective” or “modified retrospective” approach. We are continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on our financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures, and we have not yet determined the method of adoption nor the full impact that the standard will have on our reported revenue or results of operations. We currently believe that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will not significantly change the recognition of revenues associated with the delivery of onsite presentations and facilitator material sales. However, the recognition of revenues associated with intellectual property licenses, such as our All Access Pass, and other revenue streams may be more significantly impacted by the new standard. The Company will continue to assess the new standard along with industry trends and additional interpretive guidance, and it may adjust its implementation plan accordingly. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on our operating cash flows. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The guidance in ASU 2016-10 clarifies aspects of Topic 606 related to identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related core principles for those areas. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09) discussed above. As of February 28, 2018, we have not yet determined the full impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on our reported revenue or results of operations. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new lease accounting standard is the result of a collaborative effort with the IASB (similar to the new revenue standard described above), although some differences remain between the two standards. This new standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. For public companies, the new lease standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. For leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. While we expect the adoption of this new standard will increase reported assets and liabilities, as of February 28, 2018, we have not yet determined the full impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements.
