Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
General, page F-3
12.Please note that the audited financial statements should be of a date no older than 12
months at the time of filing and upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. Refer
to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F.
13.Please revise the notes to your financial statements to include the disclosures required by
ASC 280-10-50, as applicable. Should you determine that you have a single reportable
segment, disclose that fact and the basis for your conclusion. Note that you are still
subject to the entity-wide disclosure requirements of ASC 280-10-50-40 through 42.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-29
14.You present changes in restricted cash as cash flows from financing activities for the six
months ended March 3, 2019 and 2018. This presentation does not appear to comply with
ASU 2016-18 which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2017 for public entities. Please revise.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, page F-32
15.You disclose on pages F-9 and F-32 that you establish a provision for doubtful receivables
when there is objective evidence that you may not be able to collect amounts due based on
your best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures as well as a provision on
historical trends of collections. You also disclose on page 42 that due to uncertainty of the
timing of collection, you establish allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of
accounts receivable, that is, 5% for balances outstanding within one year, 10% for
balances outstanding between one year and two years, 30% for balances outstanding
between two years and three years, and 100% for balances outstanding more than
three years. Please reconcile these apparent discrepancies.
Revenue Recognition, page F-34
16.We note your disclosure on page 27 that you have irrevocably elected not to use the
extended transition accommodation allowing for delayed adoption of new or revised
accounting standards and therefore will be subject to the same new or revised accounting
standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Please tell
us why you have not yet adopted ASC 606 which is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities.
