The 26.9% decrease in financial literacy revenue appears to have resulted from a decrease in converting introductory learners into paying learners, driven by a decrease in marketing efforts targeted at converting these learners. In this regard, we note that you intend to continue these efforts to diversify course offerings by reallocating marketing efforts away from financial literacy courses. It therefore appears that historical financial literacy revenue is not necessarily indicative of future amounts.
