PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2020, in the time period prescribed for such filing without unreasonable effort or expense because, the Registrant is seeking an interpretation from the Office of Chief Accountant (“OCA”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the Registrant’s method of revenue recognition in light of recent public remarks made by a member of the OCA staff regarding application of the lessor collectability guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Although we do not fall under the requirements of ASC 842 for our sales revenue recognition, we have determined that it is prudent to seek the OCA’s interpretation of our application of the collectability guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (ASC 606) before filing the From 10-Q. We believe our historical and current revenue recognition accounting complies with ASC 606. The Registrant currently expects to be able to file the Form 10-Q within the additional time allowed by this notification.
