Organization | |||||||||||||
Greenwood Hall is an emerging education management solutions provider that delivers end-to-end services that support the entire student lifecycle including offerings that increase student enrollment, improve student experience, optimize student success and outcomes, and help schools maximize operating efficiencies. Since 2006, we have developed and customized turnkey solutions that combine strategy, personnel, proven processes and robust technology to help schools effectively and efficiently improve student outcomes, expand into new markets such as online learning, increase revenues, and deliver enhanced student experiences. Our Company currently has 141 employees and has served more than 40 education clients and over 70 degree programs. | |||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||
On July 23, 2014, Greenwood Hall, Inc. (formerly Divio Holdings, Corp. (“Divio”)) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, completed the Merger Agreement, dated July 22, 2014, by and among Divio, Merger Sub, and PCS Link, Inc. (“PCS Link”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into PCS Link with PCS Link remaining as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and PCS Link became a wholly owned subsidiary of Divio. In connection with the Merger and at the Effective Time, the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCS Link Common Stock exchanged all of such shares (other than “dissenting shares” as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1300) for a combined total of 25,250,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares on the date of the Merger. In connection with the merger, Divio Holdings, Corp. changed its name to Greenwood Hall, Inc. | |||||||||||||
The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger” with PCS Link as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the legal acquirer. Although, from a legal perspective, the Company acquired PCS Link, from an accounting perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of PCS Link accompanied by an issuance of stock by PCS Link for the net assets of Greenwood Hall, Inc. This is because Greenwood Hall, Inc. did not have operations immediately prior to the merger, and following the merger, PCS Link is the operating company. The board of directors of Greenwood Hall, Inc. immediately after the merger consisted of five directors, with four of the five directors nominated by PCS Link. Additionally, PCS Link’s stockholders owned 71% of the outstanding shares of Greenwood Hall, Inc. immediately after completion of the transaction. | |||||||||||||
The presentation of the consolidated statements of stockholders' deficit reflects the historical stockholders' deficit of PCS Link through July 23, 2014. The effect of the issuance of shares of Divio common stock in connection with the Merger and the inclusion of Divio’s outstanding shares of common stock at the time of the Merger on July 23, 2014 is reflected during the eight months ended August 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwood Hall, PCS Link, and University Financial Aid Solutions, LLC (“UFAS”), collectively referred to herein as the Company, we, us, our, and Greenwood Hall. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Through our affiliate UFAS we provided complete financial aid solutions. During 2013, UFAS ceased operations and is presently winding down its affairs. As a result, it is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. | |||||||||||||
Going Concern | |||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of November 30, 2014 and has incurred a loss from continuing operations during 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||
The Company has historically funded its activities through cash generated from operations, debt financing, the issuance of equity for cash, and advances from shareholders. During the three months ended November 30, 2014 the Company received a net amount of approximately $807,000 from financing activities. | |||||||||||||
Management intends to become profitable by continuing to grow its operations and customer base. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. | |||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. | |||||||||||||
Research and Development | |||||||||||||
Costs relating to designing and developing new products are expensed in the period incurred. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||
The Company’s contracts are typically structured into two categories, i) fixed-fee service contracts that span a period of time, often in excess of one year, and ii) service contracts at agreed-upon rates based on the volume of service provided. Some of the Company’s service contracts are subject to guaranteed minimum amounts of service volume. | |||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. For fixed-fee service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of contract performance. Costs incurred under these service contracts are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Deferred Revenue | |||||||||||||
Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments received from customers for which the Company’s revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue once the criteria for revenue recognition have been met. | |||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||
The Company extends credit to its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance may be made. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectable. | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used are as follows: | |||||||||||||
Classification | Life | ||||||||||||
Equipment | 5-7 Years | ||||||||||||
Computer equipment | 7 Years | ||||||||||||
Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. | |||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) per Share | |||||||||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted- average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. During 2013, the Company had no instruments that could potentially dilute the number of common shares outstanding. Warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares during the three months ended November 30, 2014 as their effect is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||
Variable Interest Entities | |||||||||||||
Generally, an entity is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns. | |||||||||||||
University Financial Aid Services, LLC was 60% owned by John Hall and Zan Greenwood, who at the time held a combined 92.5% of our common stock and served as directors of PCS Link. John Hall is the CEO of the Company and Zan Greenwood served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer through June 2013. The equity owners of UFAS have no equity at risk, Greenwood Hall has funded UFAS’ operations since it was formed in 2010, and we have the ability to exercise control over UFAS through our two shareholders / directors. | |||||||||||||
Based on our assessment, we have determined that UFAS is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary, as defined in current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of UFAS. To date, the Company has not allocated any income or loss of UFAS to noncontrolling interests as the noncontrolling interests never had any equity at risk. As previously discussed, UFAS ceased operations during 2013 and is presently winding down its affairs. The Company does not anticipate having any future involvement with UFAS after it is dissolved. | |||||||||||||
Marketing and Advertising | |||||||||||||
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising amounted to $29,685 and $375,932 for the three months ended November 30, 2014and the three months ended November 30, 2013 respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||||||
Derivative Liabilities | |||||||||||||
We account for warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Some of our warrants were determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as assets or liabilities are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. | |||||||||||||
As part of a debt financing during May 2014, the Company issued warrants to acquire 248,011 shares of Common Stock. These warrants contain a mechanism to increase the number of warrants upon the issuance of certain dilutive equity securities. If during the terms of the warrants, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or equivalents, the warrant holders are entitled to additional warrants with the same terms as the original warrants. As a result of these features, the warrants are subject to derivative accounting as prescribed under ASC 815. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance was estimated using an option pricing model and recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Warrants is estimated at the end of each reporting period and the change in the fair value of the Warrants is recorded as a non-operating gain or loss as change in value of derivatives in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $0 and $0, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three levels of hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. | |||||||||||||
Level Input: | Input Definition: | ||||||||||||
Level I | Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | ||||||||||||
Level II | Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. | ||||||||||||
Level III | Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. | ||||||||||||
For certain of our financial instruments, including working capital instruments, the carrying amounts are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Our notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates. | |||||||||||||
The following table summarizes fair value measurements at November 30, 2014 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. | |||||||||||||

The assumptions used in valuing warrants issued during the three months ended November 30, 2014 were as follows: | |||||||||||||
Risk free interest rate | 2.12 | % | |||||||||||
Expected life | 6.5 Years | ||||||||||||
Dividend yield | None | ||||||||||||

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability related to these warrants for the three months ended November 30, 2014: | |||||||||||||

Value at November 30, 2014 | $ | 118,363 | |||||||||||
The derivative liabilities are estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary input affecting the value of our derivatives liabilities is the Company’s stock price, term and volatility. Other inputs have a comparatively insignificant effect. | |||||||||||||
Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |||||||||||||
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The revenue recognition standard is required to be applied retrospectively, including any combination of practical expedients as allowed in the standard. We are evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to our financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. |

INCOME TAXES | 7. INCOME TAXES |
The difference between income tax expense attributable to continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to pre-tax income (loss) is mainly related to an increase in the valuation allowance, partially offset by state income taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred income tax assets are mainly related to net operating loss carryforwards. Management has chosen to take a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred income tax asset until such time as management believes that its projections of future profits make the realization of the deferred income tax assets more likely than not. Significant judgment is required in the evaluation of deferred income tax benefits and differences in future results from management’s estimates could result in material differences. | |
A majority of the Company’s deferred tax asset is comprised of net operating loss carryforwards, offset by a 100% valuation allowance at November 30, 2014 and August 31, 2014. | |
As of November 30, 2014, the Company is in process of determining the amount of Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards (“ NOL ”) available to offset future taxable income. The Company’s NOLs will begin expiring in 2032. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income, to the extent the Company generates any taxable income, and thereby reduce or eliminate future federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change as defined in Section 382. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change has occurred, or were to occur, utilization of the Company’s NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The Company could experience an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of events in the past in combination with events in the future. If so, the use of the Company’s NOLs, or a portion thereof, against future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs before utilization. | |
Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed, if applicable, from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. | |
The Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties totaled $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) and several states. The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities for tax years through 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to examination until they are fully utilized and such tax years are closed. | |

Legal Matters | |||||

The Company is the subject of pending litigation, which could cause it to incur significant costs in defending such litigation or in resulting actions or judgments. The Robin Hood Foundation (“ Robin Hood ”) filed suit against Patriot Communications, LLC (“ Patriot ”), a client of the Company, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (Central District) for breach of contract and failure to perform, including among other things an intentional tort claim, in the amount of not less than $5,000,000. On May 6, 2014, Patriot filed a cross-complaint naming PCS Link as a cross-defendant. Patriot denies the allegations set forth by Robin Hood. On August 22, 2014, Robin Hood filed a First Amended Complaint, naming the Company and John Hall, in his individual capacity, as defendants. The First Amended Complaint asserts claims against the Company and Hall for fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation, negligence and violation of Business & Professions Code section 17200. The First Amended Complaint also alleges a cause of action for breach of contract solely against the Company. An adverse judgment against the Company could be detrimental to the Company’s financial standing. Additionally, in the event that Patriot is held liable, Patriot alleges that PCS Link is responsible to indemnify and/or contribute to the satisfaction of any damages because PCS Link acted as a sub-contractor on behalf of Patriot with regard to the filed incident. We believe that we have strong defenses and we are vigorously defending against this lawsuit, but the potential range of loss related to this matter cannot be determined, as the pleadings are still not resolved, and will not be until May 2015, at the earliest. The outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations if decided unfavorably against the Company and John Hall. |

Greenwood Hall is an emerging education management solutions provider that delivers end-to-end services that support the entire student lifecycle including offerings that increase student enrollment, improve student experience, optimize student success and outcomes, and help schools maximize operating efficiencies. Since 2006, we have developed and customized turnkey solutions that combine strategy, personnel, proven processes and robust technology to help schools effectively and efficiently improve student outcomes, expand into new markets such as online learning, increase revenues, and deliver enhanced student experiences. Our Company currently has 141 employees and has served more than 40 education clients and over 70 degree programs. | |||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation | ||||||||||||
On July 23, 2014, Greenwood Hall, Inc. (formerly Divio Holdings, Corp. (“Divio”)) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, completed the Merger Agreement, dated July 22, 2014, by and among Divio, Merger Sub, and PCS Link, Inc. (“PCS Link”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into PCS Link with PCS Link remaining as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and PCS Link became a wholly owned subsidiary of Divio. In connection with the Merger and at the Effective Time, the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCS Link Common Stock exchanged all of such shares (other than “dissenting shares” as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1300) for a combined total of 25,250,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares on the date of the Merger. In connection with the merger, Divio Holdings, Corp. changed its name to Greenwood Hall, Inc. | |||||||||||||
The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger” with PCS Link as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the legal acquirer. Although, from a legal perspective, the Company acquired PCS Link, from an accounting perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of PCS Link accompanied by an issuance of stock by PCS Link for the net assets of Greenwood Hall, Inc. This is because Greenwood Hall, Inc. did not have operations immediately prior to the merger, and following the merger, PCS Link is the operating company. The board of directors of Greenwood Hall, Inc. immediately after the merger consisted of five directors, with four of the five directors nominated by PCS Link. Additionally, PCS Link’s stockholders owned 71% of the outstanding shares of Greenwood Hall, Inc. immediately after completion of the transaction. | |||||||||||||
The presentation of the consolidated statements of stockholders' deficit reflects the historical stockholders' deficit of PCS Link through July 23, 2014. The effect of the issuance of shares of Divio common stock in connection with the Merger and the inclusion of Divio’s outstanding shares of common stock at the time of the Merger on July 23, 2014 is reflected during the eight months ended August 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwood Hall, PCS Link, and University Financial Aid Solutions, LLC (“UFAS”), collectively referred to herein as the Company, we, us, our, and Greenwood Hall. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Through our affiliate UFAS we provided complete financial aid solutions. During 2013, UFAS ceased operations and is presently winding down its affairs. As a result, it is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. | |||||||||||||
Going Concern | Going Concern | ||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of November 30, 2014 and has incurred a loss from continuing operations during 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||
The Company has historically funded its activities through cash generated from operations, debt financing, the issuance of equity for cash, and advances from shareholders. During the three months ended November 30, 2014 the Company received a net amount of approximately $807,000 from financing activities. | |||||||||||||
Management intends to become profitable by continuing to grow its operations and customer base. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates | ||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. | |||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||||||
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. | |||||||||||||
Research and Development | Research and Development | ||||||||||||
Costs relating to designing and developing new products are expensed in the period incurred. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||
The Company’s contracts are typically structured into two categories, i) fixed-fee service contracts that span a period of time, often in excess of one year, and ii) service contracts at agreed-upon rates based on the volume of service provided. Some of the Company’s service contracts are subject to guaranteed minimum amounts of service volume. | |||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. For fixed-fee service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of contract performance. Costs incurred under these service contracts are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue | ||||||||||||
Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments received from customers for which the Company’s revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue once the criteria for revenue recognition have been met. | |||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||||
The Company extends credit to its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance may be made. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectable. | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment | ||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used are as follows: | |||||||||||||

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes | ||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. | |||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) per Share | Earnings (Loss) per Share | ||||||||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted- average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. During 2013, the Company had no instruments that could potentially dilute the number of common shares outstanding. Warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares during the three months ended November 30, 2014 as their effect is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities | ||||||||||||
Generally, an entity is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns. | |||||||||||||
University Financial Aid Services, LLC was 60% owned by John Hall and Zan Greenwood, who at the time held a combined 92.5% of our common stock and served as directors of PCS Link.

The equity owners of UFAS have no equity at risk, Greenwood Hall has funded UFAS’ operations since it was formed in 2010, and we have the ability to exercise control over UFAS through our two shareholders / directors. | |||||||||||||
Based on our assessment, we have determined that UFAS is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary, as defined in current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of UFAS. To date, the Company has not allocated any income or loss of UFAS to noncontrolling interests as the noncontrolling interests never had any equity at risk. As previously discussed, UFAS ceased operations during 2013 and is presently winding down its affairs. The Company does not anticipate having any future involvement with UFAS after it is dissolved. | |||||||||||||

Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Liabilities | ||||||||||||
We account for warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Some of our warrants were determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as assets or liabilities are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. | |||||||||||||
As part of a debt financing during May 2014, the Company issued warrants to acquire 248,011 shares of Common Stock. These warrants contain a mechanism to increase the number of warrants upon the issuance of certain dilutive equity securities. If during the terms of the warrants, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or equivalents, the warrant holders are entitled to additional warrants with the same terms as the original warrants. As a result of these features, the warrants are subject to derivative accounting as prescribed under ASC 815. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance was estimated using an option pricing model and recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Warrants is estimated at the end of each reporting period and the change in the fair value of the Warrants is recorded as a non-operating gain or loss as change in value of derivatives in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $0 and $0, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||
The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three levels of hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. | |||||||||||||
Level Input: | Input Definition: | ||||||||||||
Level I | Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | ||||||||||||
Level II | Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. | ||||||||||||
Level III | Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. | ||||||||||||
For certain of our financial instruments, including working capital instruments, the carrying amounts are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Our notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates. | |||||||||||||

The derivative liabilities are estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary input affecting the value of our derivatives liabilities is the Company’s stock price, term and volatility. Other inputs have a comparatively insignificant effect. | |||||||||||||
Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards | ||||||||||||
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The revenue recognition standard is required to be applied retrospectively, including any combination of practical expedients as allowed in the standard. We are evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to our financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. | |||||||||||||
