NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Note 1: Description of Business

 

Contra Costa Medical Career College, Inc. and Subsidiary and Evergreen Properties SBLD, LLC are collectively referred to as the “Company” throughout this report.

 

Contra Costa Medical Career College, Inc. (CCMCC) is a privately owned, for-profit institution of higher learning based in Antioch, California. The Company’s primary business is to provide training courses in health services. Programs contain a combination of classroom training and simulation workshops. The Company is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET) and Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). The Company is also approved to operate in the state of California by the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE).

 

Evergreen Properties SBLD, LLC (Evergreen), a California Limited Liability Company was formed on December 23, 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CCMCC. Evergreen is engaged in the business of owning and renting a building in Antioch, California.

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following items comprise the significant accounting policies of the Company. The policies reflect industry practices and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been maintained and prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, forming a part of this Form 8-K/A.

 

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three and nine-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Contra Costa Medical Career College, Inc. and its subsidiary, Evergreen Properties SBLD, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Accounts Receivable, Student Deposits and Refunds Payable, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts originally billed less payments received. Cash received in excess of tuition charged is recorded as student deposits and refunds payable. An allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable has been recorded based on management’s assessment of collectability of the accounts. The Company reviews its past due balances and accounts deemed uncollectible are written off.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, carried at cost, are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is included in other income. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Machinery and equipment Vehicles   3 – 7 years
Furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements Buildings   5 - 7 years
Land   7 years
Machinery and equipment Vehicles   5 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements Buildings   27.5 years
Land   Non-depreciable

 

Leases

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 provides guidance in GAAP about the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under GAAP. The guidance requires that a lessee should recognize on the ·balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-to-use (“ROU”) asset representing the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the term of the lease. The guidance allows a lessee who enters into a lease with a term of 12 months or less to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying assets not to recognize assets and liabilities. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluates the lease agreement to determine whether the lease is a finance or operating lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company leases teaching and administrative spaces from Evergreen, which are short-term in nature. As a result, the Company has elected to not recognize the assets and liabilities associated with the leases.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company identifies a contract for revenue recognition when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates each contract to determine the number of distinct performance obligations in the contract, which requires the use of judgment. The Company’s contracts include promises for educational services and course materials which are distinct performance obligations.

 

Tuition revenue is primarily derived from postsecondary education services provided to students. Generally, tuition and other fees are paid upfront and recorded in contract liabilities in advance of the date when education services are provided to the student. A tuition receivable is recorded for the portion of tuition not paid in advance. In some instances, installment billing is available to students which reduces the amount of cash consideration received in advance of performing the service. The contractual terms and conditions associated with installment billing indicate that the student is liable for the total contract price; therefore, mitigating the Company’s exposure to losses associated with nonpayment. The Company determined the installment billing does not represent a significant financing component.

 

Tuition revenue is recognized ratably over the instruction period. The Company generally uses the time elapsed method, an input measure, as it best depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of tuition services. Revenue associated with distinct course materials is recognized at the point of time when control transfers to the student, generally when the materials are delivered to the student. The Company’s refund policy may permit students who do not complete a course to be eligible for a refund for the portion of the course they did not attend. Refunds generally result in a reduction of deferred revenue during the period that the student drops or withdraws from a class.

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

The transaction price is stated in the contract and known at the time of contract inception, as such there is variable consideration for situations when a student drops from a program based on the Company’s refund policy and additional charges if a student requires additional hours to complete the program beyond the contracted end date. The Company believes that its experience with these situations is of little predictive value because the future performance of students is dependent on each individual and the amount of variable consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence. Accordingly, no variable consideration has been included in the transaction price or recognized as income until the constraint has been eliminated. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. Any discounts within the contract are allocated across all performance obligations unless observable evidence exists that the discount relates to a specific performance obligation or obligations in the contract. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on prices charged to students. The Company excludes from revenue taxes assessed by a governmental authority as these are agency transactions collected on their behalf from the customer.

 

Significant judgments include the allocation of the contract price across performance obligations, the methodology for earning tuition ratably over the instruction period, estimates for the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price as well as the determination of the impact of the constraints preventing the variable consideration from being recognized in revenue.

 

Contract assets and liabilities

 

The Company has contract assets and contract liabilities associated with the recognition of revenue. Contract assets consists of accounts receivable. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which is the unearned portion of tuition for which the student is contracted, and student deposits and refunds payable. The balances of the following items are as follows as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

    September 30, 2024     December 31, 2023  
Contract assets:                
Accounts receivable   $ 2,712,518     $ 1,480,842  
                 
Contract liabilities:                
Student deposits and refunds payable   $ 7,250     $ 298,852  
Unearned tuition   $ 3,159,939     $ 1,609,700  

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $140,464 and $62,394 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

CCMCC has elected under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to be a subchapter “S” corporation. As a result, income and losses of the Company are passed through to the stockholder and taxed accordingly. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The state of California imposes a 1.5% rate on taxable income with a minimum tax of $800. During 2023, the Company elected to pay an elective tax under California Assembly Bill 150 in the amount of9.3% on taxable income.

 

Evergreen is a California limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Therefore, earnings and losses are included in the stockholder’s income tax returns and taxed accordingly.

 

U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and believes there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2023, the earliest tax years still subject to examination were 2020 for federal purposes and 2019 state reporting purposes. The Company believes their estimates are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

A substantial portion of revenues and ending accounts receivable at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are a direct result of the Company’s participation in Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs, which represent a primary source of student tuition. The FSA programs are subject to political and budgetary considerations. There is no assurance that funding will be maintained at current levels. The FSA programs are subject to significant regulatory requirements. Any regulatory violation could have a material effect on the Company.

 

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit concentration risk exposure.

 

Fair Value

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 - Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore, value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and consider risk premiums that market participants would require.

 

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, unearned tuition and notes payable. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in ASU 2023-01 provide guidance in GAAP for non-public entities in determining whether a related party arrangement between entities under common control (a common control arrangement) is classified as a lease (a common control lease) and the amortization of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases. The guidance allows private companies and not-for-profit entities to use the written terms and conditions of a common control arrangement to determine if a lease exists, and if so, the classification of an accounting for that lease. Topic 842 requires leasehold improvements to be amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term and the useful life of the improvements. The amendment in ASU 2023-01 allows the lessee of a common control lease to amortize leasehold improvements over its useful life as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset, regardless of the lease term, unless the lessor obtained the right to control the underlying asset through a lease with a non-related party. If the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset, leasehold improvements are accounted for as a transfer between related parties through an adjustment to equity. The provisions of ASU 2023-01 are effective for the fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The  Company has not yet elected this accounting guidance.

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect to adopt this policy effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on our financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements.

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies

 

Regulatory Matters

 

In order for students to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, the Company is required to maintain certain standards of financial responsibility and administrative capability. In addition, the Company is accredited by ACCET and ABHES and must comply with rules and regulations of the accrediting bodies. As a result, the Company may be subject to audits, investigations, claims of noncompliance or lawsuits by government agencies, regulatory bodies, or third parties. While there can be no assurance that such matters will not occur and if they do occur will not have a material adverse effect on these financial statements, management believes that the Company has complied with all regulatory requirements as of the date of the financial statements.

 

Borrowers’ Defense to Repayment

 

The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) published its new regulations with an effective date of July 1, 2023. The new regulations allow a borrower to assert a defense to repayment on the basis of a substantial misrepresentation, any other misrepresentation in cases where certain other factors are present, a breach of contract or a favorable nondefault contested judgment against a school for its act or omission relating to the making of the borrower’s loan or the provision of educational services for which the loan was provided. In addition, the financial responsibility standards contained in the new regulations establish the conditions or events that trigger the requirement for an institution to provide the Department with financial protection in the form of a letter of credit or other security against potential institutional liabilities. Triggering conditions or events include, among others, certain state, federal or accrediting agency actions or investigations. The new regulations also prohibit schools from requiring that students agree to settle future disputes through arbitration. Management believes no misrepresentations have occurred nor has any agency actions or investigations occurred as of the date of these financial statements.

 

Composite Score

 

The Department requires institutions to meet standards of financial responsibility. The Department deems an institution financially responsible when the composite score is at least 1.5. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s composite score was 2.2 and 2.3, respectively.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is party to occasional lawsuits, investigations and claims. While the outcome of these matters is uncertain, there can be no assurances that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters discussed below will not materially affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. The Company records loss contingencies in its financial statements only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability.
