NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Overview
This Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking comments. Such comments are based upon information currently available to management and management’s perception thereof as of the date of this Form 10-Q and may relate to: (i) the ability of the company to realize increased enrollments from investments in infrastructure made over the past years; (ii) U.S. Department of Education’s (“ED’s”) enforcement or interpretation of existing statutes and regulations affecting the Company’s operations; and (iii) the sufficiency of the Company’s working capital, financings and cash flow from operating activities for the Company’s future operating and capital requirements. Actual results of the Company’s operations could materially differ from those forward-looking comments. The differen
ces could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited to, potential adverse effects of regulations; impairment of federal funding; adverse legislative action; student loan defaults; changes in federal or state authorization or accreditation; changes in market needs and technology; changes in competition and the effects of such changes; changes in the economic, political or regulatory environments; litigation involving the Company; changes in the availability of a stable labor force; or changes in management strategies. Readers should take these factors into account in evaluating any such forward-looking comments.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1:
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 20031 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 20013 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed by the Company with the Commission on March 15, 2004 (the “20031 Form 10-K”) incorporated herein by reference.
The information included in these interim financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the periods presented. Annualization of amounts in these interim financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the actual operating results for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has litigation pending which arose in the normal course of business. See further discussion in Part II, Item 1 - “Legal Proceedings”.
Note 2:
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after giving effect for common stock equivalents (if dilutive) arising from stock options assumed converted to common stock.
Note 3:
On February 27, 2003 the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. 2003 Long-term Executive Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”). The Company’s shareholders approved the Compensation Plan at the Annual Meeting held on May 22, 2003. The Compensation Plan provides an aggregate 200,000 incentive stock options to be issued to certain employees as authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Company has additional incentive stock option plans (the “2002 Option Plan,” “2000 Option Plan” and “1998 Option Plan”) which authorize the Company to issue 300,000, 125,000 and 250,000 shares, respectively, of its common stock to certain officers and employees of the Company. Options for all plans, including the 2003 Compensation Plan, are granted at fair market value or greater on the date of grant for a term of not more than ten years unless options are canceled due to terms of the option plan. As of September 30, 2004, an aggregate 76,000 shares remain available to be granted pursuant to the 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003 option plans.
On February 27, 2003 the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Employee Plan”). The Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at its Annual Meeting held on May 22, 2003. The Employee Plan is similar to the previous Employee Stock Purchase Plan that expired September 30, 2003. An aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company are subject to the Employee Plan and are reserved for issuance under such Plan. Options to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company are to be offered to participants for purchase in the first year (commencing October 1, 2003 and ending September 30, 2004) and each of the four succeeding plan years. The option price of Common Stock purchased with payroll deductions made du
ring such annual, semi-annual or calendar-quarterly offering for participant therein shall be the lower of:
| |
(a) |
95% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the Offering Commencement Date or the nearest prior business day on which trading occurred on the NASDAQ Stock Market; or |
| (b) |
95% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the Offering Termination Date or the nearest prior business day on which trading occurred on the NASDAQ Stock Market. |
Note 4:
The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation cost is not reflected in the results of operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or exceeding the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and income per share if the Company had applied the f
air value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.
