AGI leverages its education technology infrastructure and expertise to allow its two universities, Aspen University and United States University, to deliver on the vision of making college affordable again. Because we believe higher education should be a catalyst to our students鈥 long-term economic success, we exert financial prudence by offering affordable tuition that is one of the greatest values in higher education. 听AGI鈥檚 primary focus relative to future growth is to target the high growth nursing profession. As of July听31, 2020, 10,422 of 12,128 or 86% of all students across both universities are degree-seeking nursing students.
Since 1993, Aspen University has been nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Accrediting Council (鈥淒EAC鈥), a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (the 鈥淒OE鈥) and Council for Higher Education Accreditation ("CHEA"). On February 25, 2019, the DEAC informed Aspen University that it had renewed its accreditation for five years through January 2024.
Since 2009, USU has been regionally accredited by WASC Senior College and University Commission. (鈥淲SCUC鈥).
Both universities are qualified to participate under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) and the Federal student financial assistance programs (Title IV, HEA programs). USU has a provisional certification resulting from the ownership change of control in connection with the acquisition by AGI on December 1, 2017.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 鈥淪EC鈥). In the opinion of the Company鈥檚 management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our results of operations for the three months ended July听31, 2020 and 2019, our cash flows for the three months ended July听31, 2020 and 2019, and our financial position as of July听31, 2020 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April听30, 2020 as filed with the SEC on July 7, 2020. The April听30, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 crisis did not have a material impact on the Company鈥檚 financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, as evidenced by our increased revenues to $15.2听million. In fact, the Company鈥檚 two highest LTV programs, USU鈥檚 MSN-FNP and Aspen鈥檚 BSN Pre-Licensure program, saw enrollment tailwinds this quarter related to COVID. RN鈥檚, looking to attain their nurse practitioner license to broaden their career options, drove MSN-FNP enrollment. Additionally, millennials, aspiring to
become RNs, enrolled in the BSN Pre-Licensure program in Phoenix in record numbers, given that many have been furloughed or laid off since the pandemic first started.
COVID-19 has focused a spotlight on the shortage of nurses in the U.S. and, in particular, the need for nurses with four-year and advanced degrees such as USU鈥檚 MSN-FNP and Aspen University鈥檚 DNP programs. We believe we will be operating in a tailwind environment for many years relative to the planned expansion of our Pre-Licensure BSN hybrid campus business.
