During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company incorrectly recorded $509,996 of equity issuance fees in Selling, general, and administrative expense relating to the December 11, 2018 issuer tender offer in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon further review, it was determined that these equity issuance fees should be recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital. The Company has corrected this error to reflect the proper accounting for these fees. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company did not record certain billboard leases per their lease agreements, the correction of which is reflected within the table below. Upon further review, it was determined that these leases should be included in the Company’s implementation of ASC Topic 842 lease accounting. The Company has corrected this error to include these leases in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company recorded $567,405 of additional paid-in capital and interest expense related to common stock issued for inducement of convertible debt holders. Upon further review, it was determined that these issuances were already recorded as a debt discount to convertible notes payable. The Company has corrected this error to reflect the correct amounts and accounting treatment for these issuances.
