Seasonality

This lower level of activity, historically, has been partially offset during the first half of the company’s fiscal year by the increased activity levels in its educational operations. Conversely, historically there has been a significant increase in the provision of services to sports and leisure clients during the second half of the company’s fiscal year, which is partially offset by the effect of summer recess at colleges, universities and schools in its educational operations. For cash flows, historically there has been cash usage during its first fiscal quarter due to lower activity within its sports and leisure clients, as well as payments related to employee incentives. Conversely, historically there have been cash inflows during the company’s fourth fiscal quarter due to an inflow of customer prepayments particularly within its Higher Education business in anticipation of the fall semester and higher activity within its sports and leisure clients.
