Note 8 – BUSINESS CONCENTRATION

 

Significant portions of our inventory purchases are concentrated with an England-based publishing company, Usborne Publishing Limited (“Usborne”). During fiscal 2023, we entered into a new distribution agreement (“Agreement”) with Usborne. The Agreement includes annual minimum purchase volumes along with specific payment terms and letter of credit requirements, which if not met offer Usborne the right to terminate the Agreement on less than 30 days’ written notice. Should termination of the Agreement occur, the Company will be allowed to sell its remaining Usborne inventory for an agreed upon period, but not less than twelve months following the termination date. As of November 30, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum purchase requirements and did not supply the letter of credit required under the Agreement, which offers Usborne the right to exercise their option to terminate the Agreement. Usborne has not notified the Company of termination of the Agreement. In addition, Usborne has refused to pay the $1.0 million volume rebate owed to the Company from purchases made during fiscal 2022. The Company is disputing the cancellation of the rebate but has not recognized any rebate due to its uncertainty. Additionally, under the terms in the Agreement, the Company no longer has the rights to distribute Usborne’s products to retail customers through our Publishing division. As a result, the Company discontinued selling Usborne products to retail customers in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
