GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

The Company receives government assistance in the form of cash grants which vary in size, duration, and conditions from domestic governmental agencies. Accounting for the grant revenue does not fall under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the Government will not benefit directly from our offerings. For government assistance in which no specific US GAAP applies, the Company accounts for such transactions as revenue and by analogy to a grant model. Under such model, the Company recognizes the impact of the government assistance on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income upon complying with the conditions of the grant. The grant revenue is recognized on a gross basis. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize a benefit to the income statement over the duration of the program when the conditions attached to the grant are achieved. If conditions are not satisfied, the grants are often subject to reduction, repayment, or termination. The Company classifies the impact of government assistance on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Services Revenue.

During the three months ended November 30, 2023, government assistance received primarily consisted of the following:
