REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Audit Committee of Educational Development Corporation Employee 401(k) Plan

Educational Development Corporation Employee 401(k) Plan

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Educational Development Corporation Employee 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of February 28, 2018 and 2017, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended February 28, 2018 and the related notes (collectively, financial statements).  In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of February 28, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended February 28, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan has determined it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error of fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Report on Supplemental Information

 

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedules of delinquent participant contributions and assets (held at end of year) as of and for the year ended February 28, 2018, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

 

We have served as the Plan's auditor since 2018.

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION EMPLOYEE 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

 

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accounts of the Educational Development Corporation Employee 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Plan Year

 

The Plan’s year (“Plan Year”) is the same as Educational Development Corporation’s (the “Company”) fiscal year, which begins March 1st and ends February 28th (29th).

 

Administration

 

Investments in the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Company stock”), are administered separately from the Plan’s mutual fund investments. The Company is the Fiduciary, Trustee and Record Keeper of the Company stock investments. The Company maintains the Company stock purchased under the Plan in a separate pooled account with the Company’s transfer agent. American Funds (from Capital Group), an investment company, serves as the Co-Fiduciary, Trustee and Record Keeper for the mutual fund investments. Thomas E. Cummins, Consulting Actuary, Inc. serves as the Plan’s Third-Party Administrator.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Investments held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value (See Note 5). Fair value is 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. Plan management determines the Plan's valuation policies utilizing information provided by American Funds and public market data.

 

The value of the Plan is based on the beginning of the year value plus actual contributions and allocated investment income (loss) less actual distributions and allocated administrative expenses. Investment income (loss) and investment expenses relating to the Plan are allocated daily based on the Plan’s value in each applicable fund within the Plan.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the transaction date opening price. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought, sold and held during the year.

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

The Plan document does not permit notes from participants.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Distributions are recorded when paid.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Plan allows participants to invest in Company stock. Significant changes in the price of the Company stock can result in significant changes in the Net Assets Available for Benefits. The fair value of the Company stock accounted for 82% and 73% of the Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the basic financial statements and related notes to financial statements. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future years.

 

8

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities which are exposed to risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, “Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2018-09”). ASU 2018-09 provides amendments to a wide variety of topics in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, which applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The transition and effective date guidance are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of ASU 2018-09. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting the applicable guidance; however, we do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2018-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On July 24, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend. The stock dividend was distributed on August 22, 2018 to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2018. All share-based data, including the number of shares outstanding and per share amounts, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

 

NOTE 2—GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN

 

General

 

The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

There are two separate Trustees, Fiduciaries and Record Keepers within the Plan which offers different investment options:

 

-

American Funds, an outside investment firm for several mutual fund investments

 

-

The Company, for the Company’s (NASDAQ "EDUC”) common stock investment

 

Inception

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

 

Eligibility

 

Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan after completing six months of continuous service with the Company and having reached the age of 21. Entry date to the Plan is the first day of the first month of the Plan Year, or the first day of the seventh month of the Plan Year, after the eligibility requirements have been satisfied.

 

Vesting

 

Employee contributions are fully vested. Employer contributions vest after the participant has completed three years of service with the Company. Participants automatically become 100% vested upon normal retirement (attainment of age 65), disability or death.

 

9

 

Contributions

 

Eligible employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation, subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). In addition, the Plan permits catch-up contributions by participants who have attained age 50 by December 31st of each year. Participating employees may elect to have their contributions invested in any of the funds available for investment under the Plan or may elect to purchase Company stock. The Company calculates and deducts employee contributions from earnings each pay period based on the percent elected by the employee. Employees are permitted to revoke their contribution at any time during the Plan Year. Employees may change their contribution percent on the first day of the Plan Year or the first day of the seventh month of the Plan Year. All changes become effective as soon as administratively possible after they are submitted.

 

The Plan has been established under Section 401 of the IRC on a pre-tax basis. Therefore, employee and employer contributions to the Plan are not subject to federal income withholding tax, but are taxable when withdrawn from the Plan, unless rolled over to an individual retirement account or other eligible retirement plan. The Company does not offer a Roth 401(k) contribution.

 

The Company, at its discretion, makes matching contributions to the Plan and has the ability to decide each year how much to make as a matching contribution. The matching contribution is determined as a percentage of salary deferrals the participating employees make during the Plan Year. For the 2018 Plan Year, the Company made matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 15% of eligible compensation contributed by the participants through elective deferrals to the Plan.

 

Investment Options

 

Both the employer and participant contributions are directed solely through each participants election into investment alternatives offered by the Plan. The Plan’s investment alternatives as of February 28, 2018 include eleven mutual funds, eleven target date funds and the option to purchase Company stock. In 2002, the Company registered with the Security and Exchange Commission up to 1,000,000 shares of Company stock to be sold to participants in the Plan. Company stock purchased through the Plan is maintained in a pooled account with the Company’s transfer agent. Participants may transfer amounts attributable to employee or employer contributions from one investment alternative to another on a daily basis, subject to compliance with applicable trading policies of the Plan.

 

Participant Accounts

 

A variety of funds and the Company’s stock have been established as investment options for participant accounts under the Plan. All participant accounts are valued by the Trustees at the close of business following each business day.

 

Interest and dividends are automatically reinvested in each participant’s respective accounts and reflected in the unit value of the fund, or Company stock, which affects the value of the participants’ accounts.

 

Plan Withdrawals and Distributions

 

Participants may take in-service distributions of vested amounts from their accounts if they:

 

 

 

Attain the age of 59 1⁄2, and

 

 

 

The participant has been a participant in the Plan for at least 5 years.

 

Hardship distributions are not permitted under the Plan.

 

Participant vested amounts are eligible to receive a lump-sum payment upon retirement, death or other termination of employment.

 

All withdrawals and distributions are valued at the opening price of the day the request is received by the Company and may be subject to income tax upon receipt. Any non-vested Company contributions are forfeited and applied to reduce future Company contributions and Plan expenses by the Company. As of February 28, 2018, and 2017, the Plan had forfeiture credits of $4,043 and $606, respectively.

 

10

 

Rollovers

 

Plan participants may transfer eligible cash distributions from any other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans into the Plan.

 

Expenses

 

Expenses of administering the Plan are paid partly by the Company and partly by the participants. The payment of expenses associated with annual participant testing, annual forms preparation, along with the Plan audit and regulatory filing costs, are paid by the Company and excluded from these financial statements. Expenses related to the asset management of the investment funds, recordkeeping and the independent fiduciary are paid from such funds which reduce the investment return reported and credited to participant accounts.

 

Termination Provisions

 

The Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue without interruption but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event of termination, the obligation of the Company to make further contributions ceases. All participants’ accounts would then be fully vested with respect to Company contributions.

 

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY AND PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

 

American Funds (from Capital Group), trustee of the Plan, maintains and manages certain investments of the Plan, for which the participants in the Plan are charged investment expenses. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

 

The Plan also offers the opportunity to invest in Company stock. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, the price per share of Company stock on the NASDAQ exchange ranged from $3.38 to $11.40. The closing price per share of Company stock was $9.68 at February 28, 2018 and $4.78 at February 28, 2017. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions to the Plan.

 

Thomas E Cummins, Consulting Actuary, Inc., third-party administrator of the Plan, provides certain required plan testing and form preparation services. The Company bears the costs of these services performed by this provider. However, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions to the Plan.

 

NOTE 4—TAX STATUS OF PLAN

 

The Company adopted a Standardized Profit Sharing Plan with CODA (the” Prototype Plan”) sponsored by Thomas E Cummins, Consulting Actuary, Inc. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Prototype Plan sponsor by a favorable opinion letter dated September 30, 2014, that the Prototype Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Prototype Plan 's opinion letter is being relied upon by the Plan. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the opinion letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believe that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require the plan administrator to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability for any uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by tax authorities; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

 

 

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The Plan’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Total assets in the fair value hierarchy

  $ 6,991,738     $     $     $ 6,991,738  

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies used at February 28, 2018 and 2017.

 

Mutual funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

 

Company stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the exchange on which the individual securities are traded.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

NOTE 6—CONTINGENCIES

 

The Plan is utilizing the IRS Voluntary Correction Plan (“VCP”) to correct the Plan documents previously filed with the IRS. The Company submitted a restated Plan document with the VCP application to the IRS on December 10, 2018, that changed certain options identified in the Plan Document to match the Company’s past practices. The Company has been operating as if these changes have been in place since the inception of the Plan. No correction is needed by the Company, unless the IRS determines corrective action is to be taken. As of the date of this report, no communication has been received in response to the filed VCP from the IRS.
