GREENWOOD HALL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Greenwood Hall, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “Greenwood Hall”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is an emerging education management solutions provider that delivers end-to-end services that support the entire student lifecycle including offerings that increase student enrollment, improve student experience, optimize student success and outcomes, and help schools maximize operating efficiencies. Since 2006, we have developed and customized turnkey solutions that combine strategy, personnel, proven processes and robust technology to help schools effectively and efficiently improve student outcomes, expand into new markets such as online learning, increase revenues, and deliver enhanced student experiences. Our Company currently has 158 employees and has served more than 62 education clients and over 75 degree programs.

Basis of Presentation

On July 23, 2014, Greenwood Hall (formerly Divio Holdings, Corp. (“Divio”)) and its wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) consummated the transactions contemplated under a Merger Agreement, dated July 22, 2014, by and among Divio, Merger Sub, and PCS Link, Inc. (“PCS Link”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into PCS Link with PCS Link remaining as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and PCS Link became a wholly owned subsidiary of Divio. As a result of the Merger, the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCS Link common stock exchanged all of such shares (other than “dissenting shares” as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1300) for a combined total of 25,250,000 shares of common stock of Divio, representing approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares on the effective date of the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Divio Holdings, Corp. changed its name to Greenwood Hall, Inc.

The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” with PCS Link as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the legal acquirer. Although, the Company acquired PCS Link from a legal perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of PCS Link accompanied by an issuance of stock by PCS Link for the net assets of Greenwood Hall from an accounting perspective. This is because Greenwood Hall did not have operations immediately prior to the Merger, and PCS Link became the operating company as a result thereof. The board of directors of Greenwood Hall immediately after the Merger consisted of five directors, four of whom were nominated by PCS Link. Additionally, PCS Link’s stockholders owned 71% of the outstanding shares of Greenwood Hall immediately after completion of the transaction.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2017 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 6, 2016. As contemplated by the SEC under Article 8 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwood Hall, PCS Link, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenwood Hall (“PCS Link”), and University Financial Aid Solutions, LLC (“UFAS”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Greenwood Hall”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Through our affiliate UFAS we provided complete financial aid solutions. During 2013, UFAS ceased operations and is presently winding down its affairs. As a result, UFAS is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

7

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of February 28, 2017 and has continued to incur a loss from operations during the first six months of fiscal year 2017.

The Company has historically funded its activities through cash generated from operations, debt financing, the issuance of equity for cash, and advances from stockholders. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company generated $1,241,995 in financing activities.

Management intends to become profitable by continuing to grow its operations and customer base. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Research and Development

Costs relating to designing and developing new products are expensed in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contracts are typically structured into two categories, (i) fixed-fee service contracts that span a period of time, often in excess of one year, and (ii) service contracts at agreed-upon rates based on the volume of service provided or a flat monthly subscription fee. Some of the Company’s service contracts are subject to guaranteed minimum amounts of service volume.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. For fixed-fee service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of contract performance. Costs incurred under these service contracts are expensed as incurred.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments received from customers for which the Company’s revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue once the criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance may be made. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectable.

8

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used are as follows:

Classification	Life
Equipment	5-7 Years
Computer equipment	7 Years

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted shares during the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, when their effect is anti-dilutive.

Variable Interest Entities

Generally, an entity is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns.

University Financial Aid Services, LLC was 60% owned by John Hall and Zan Greenwood, who at the time held a combined 92.5% of our common stock and served as directors of PCS Link. John Hall is the CEO of the Company and Zan Greenwood served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer through June 2013. The equity owners of UFAS have no equity at risk, Greenwood Hall has funded UFAS’ operations since it was formed in 2010, and we have the ability to exercise control over UFAS through our two stockholders / directors.

Based on our assessment, we have determined that UFAS is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary, as defined in current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of UFAS. To date, the Company has not allocated any income or loss of UFAS to noncontrolling interests as the noncontrolling interests never had any equity at risk. As previously discussed, UFAS ceased operations during 2013 and is presently winding down its affairs. The Company does not anticipate having any future involvement with UFAS after it is dissolved.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising amounted to $3,550 and $18,040 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and, $10,759 and $37,278 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs related to stock options and other equity awards are determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Under this method, compensation cost is calculated based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance FASB ASC 718-10, amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. Stock-based compensation was $21,450 and $98,750 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and $56,944 and $98,750 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. This expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity-Based Compensation.

9

Derivative Liabilities

We account for warrants and conversion features as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants and conversion features classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Some of our warrants and conversion features were determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Instruments classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as assets or liabilities are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate.

During the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $57,445 and $20,486, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $463,037 and $222,735, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three levels of hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.” Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Level Input:	Input Definition:
Level I	Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level II	Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level III	Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

For certain of our financial instruments, including working capital instruments, the carrying amounts are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Our notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Risk free interest rate	1.00% - 2.19	%
Expected life	0.84 Years-10 years
Dividend yield	None
Volatility	70.1% - 111.0	%

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability related to these instruments for the six months ended February 28, 2017:

Value at August 31, 2016	$	846,583
Issuance of instruments		1,161,043
Change in value		(421,316	)
Net settlements		(347,690	)
Value as of February 28, 2017	$	1,238,620

The derivative liabilities are estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary input affecting the value of our derivatives liabilities is the Company’s stock price, term and volatility. Other inputs have a comparatively insignificant effect.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards 

There were no recently issued accounting standards during the period ended February 28, 2017 that impacted our consolidated financial statements or ongoing financial reporting.

3. NOTES PAYABLE

On October 14, 2016, the Company executed a new credit agreement (“Moriah Agreement”) with Moriah Educational Management LLC (“Moriah”). The Moriah Agreement provided for a revolving loan (“Revolving Loan”) for up to $3,500,000. The Revolving Loan may be drawn in tranches of not less than $500,000. On October 14, 2016 (“Advance Date”) the Company borrowed the full $3,500,000 (“Principal”). Interest on the Revolving Loan shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days and shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of advances at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (B) Seven and Three Quarters Percent (7.75%), or (ii) Ten Percent (10.0%), but in no event in excess of Fourteen Percent (14%) per annum unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing. The prime rate was 3.5% on the Advance date. The Principal is due and payable, with all accrued and unpaid interest on October 13, 2018 with monthly payments of $29,167 starting on April 1, 2017. The Moriah Agreement contains a prepayment penalty. If the Company pays the entire unpaid Principal before April 30, 2017, a penalty of three percent (3%) of the then-outstanding Principal under the Revolving Loan.

11

As part of the Moriah Agreement, the Company issued two warrants to Moriah for the purchase of the Company’s common stock:

The Moriah Warrant is for the purchase, for a period of seven years, of up to 3,500,000 shares of the Company common stock at a purchase price of $0.12 per share, which is adjustable downward (“Ratchet-down”) if the Company issues share of its common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock at a price below $0.12. The Company has determined the Ratchet-down provision causes the Moriah Warrant to be a derivative, accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Moriah Warrant to be recorded as a liability on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of the October 14, 2016, the fair value of the Moriah Warrant was approximately $23,000, which was recorded as a discount to the Revolving Loan and amortized as an expense over the life of the Revolving Loan. As of February 28, 2017, the fair value of the Moriah Warrant was approximately $76,833.

Moriah Put is for the purchase, for a period of five years, of up to 8,125,000 shares of the Company common stock at a purchase price of $0.14 per share, which is adjustable downward (“Ratchet-down”) if the Company issues share of its common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock at a price below $0.14. Also, the Moriah Put grants the holder of the option to sell all or any portion of the Moriah Put or the Moriah Put Shares (“Put Option”) for which the Moriah Put has been exercised to the Company for a total purchase price of up to One Million One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,137,500), pro-rated for any portion thereof, representing a purchase price of Fourteen Cents ($0.14) per Moriah Put Share, subject to adjustment. The Put Option may be exercised at any time and, if for a portion thereof, from time to time, during the fifteen-day period (the “Put Period”) commencing on the earliest of (1) the date when Moriah receives written notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to prepay the Revolving Loan, which notice shall be delivered by the Company to Moriah so as to be received by Moriah no later than fifteen days prior to the proposed date of prepayment; (2) the date of Moriah’s acceleration of the Obligations following an event of default, or (3) September 29, 2018

The Company has determined the Ratchet-down and Put Option provisions causes the Moriah Put to be a derivative, accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Moriah Put to be recorded as a liability on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of the October 14, 2016, the fair value of the Moriah Put was approximately $1,137,500, which was recorded as a discount to the Revolving Loan and amortized as an expense over the life of the Revolving Loan. As of February 28, 2017, the fair value of the Moriah Put was approximately $1,137,500.

Also, the Moriah Put provides the Company call the Moriah Put (“Call Option”) so long as any portion of this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company’s Common Stock has both (a) an average closing price greater than $0.50 per share, and (b) an average daily trading volume in excess of 300,000 shares, in each case for the immediately preceding ninety (90) consecutive trading days and continuing through the call notice period or such earlier date as the Moriah Put is exercised or transferred, the Company shall have the irrevocable right, but not the obligation, to demand automatic exercise, in whole or in part, by the Holder. The Company has determined the Call Option to be a derivative asset in a accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Call Option to be recorded as an asset on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of October 14, 2016 and February 28, 2017, the Company has determined the Call Option fair value to be approximately $0.

Under the Moriah Agreement the Company has the following reporting and financial covenants:

5. CONCENTRATIONS

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at a financial institution which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

15

Major Customers

For the six months ended February 28, 2017, three (3) customers represented 49.33% of net revenues and for the six months ended February 29, 2016, four (4) customers represented a total of 52% of revenues. A decision by any of these customers to cease business relations with the Company may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. On February 27, 2017, the Company ceased providing services to one of its major customers, Concordia University, representing 32% of the six months net revenue, in exchange for an aggregate payment of $840,000 during March 2017.

6. INCOME TAXES

The difference between income tax expense attributable to continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to pre-tax income (loss) is mainly related to an increase in the valuation allowance, partially offset by state income taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred income tax assets are mainly related to net operating loss carryforwards. Management has chosen to take a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred income tax asset until such time as management believes that its projections of future profits make the realization of the deferred income tax assets more likely than not. Significant judgment is required in the evaluation of deferred income tax benefits and differences in future results from management’s estimates could result in material differences.

A majority of the Company’s deferred tax asset is comprised of net operating loss carryforwards, offset by a 100% valuation allowance at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016.

As of February 28, 2017, the Company is in process of determining the amount of Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards (“NOL”) available to offset future taxable income. The Company’s NOLs expire at various dates through 2037. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income, to the extent the Company generates any taxable income, and thereby reduce or eliminate future federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change as defined in Section 382. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change has occurred, or were to occur, utilization of the Company’s NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The Company could experience an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of events in the past in combination with events in the future. If so, the use of the Company’s NOLs, or a portion thereof, against future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs before utilization.

Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed, if applicable, from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The Company leases its operating facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire through 2024. Total rent expense for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and the six months ended February 29, 2016, amounted to $282,395 and $363,164, respectively. The Company is responsible for certain operating expenses in connection with these leases. The following is a schedule, by year, of future minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases as of February 28, 2017:

Years Ending August 31,
2017 (remainder of)	275,329
2018	555,762
2019	571,259
2020	467,211
2021	464,560
Thereafter	794,235

Employment Agreements

At February 28, 2017, the Company maintained an employment agreement with an officer, the terms of which may require the payment of severance benefits upon termination.

Legal Matters 

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings in the normal conduct of its business.

On August 26, 2016, Zantine Greenwood (“Greenwood”), a former officer and founder of the Company, commenced a proceeding in Arbitration alleging that the Company had breached its obligations under a consulting agreement entered into by and between Greenwood and the Company on or about July 24, 2014 (the “Consulting Agreement”).  The Company did not appear at the Arbitration.  On September 23, 2016, the Arbitrator issued an award to Greenwood against the Company in the sum of $236,251.  On October 26, 2016, Greenwood filed a petition to confirm the award in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BS165962. The Company opposed the petition and requested that the court vacate the award, asserting that the arbitration provision in the Consulting Agreement was void under applicable law and therefore the Arbitrator had no jurisdiction over the dispute. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and between the Company and Greenwood, dated January 9, 2017, the Company agreed to pay Greenwood $115,000 plus 5.5% simple interest in monthly installments of $10,000 until payment in full in exchange for a release of any and all claims against the Company arising from or relating to the dispute.  Conditions to the settlement were that the Court vacate the award and retain jurisdiction until all payments have been made, which Order was entered by the Court on February 15, 2017.

On March 11, 2016, StoryCorp Consulting, Inc. and David R. Wells filed suit against the Company and the John R. Hall, in his individual capacity, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (Central District) for breach of contract and promissory fraud/false promise, among other things, seeking an amount of not less than $ 100,000. The Company believes that it has a strong defense and is vigorously defending against this lawsuit, but the potential range of loss related to this matter cannot be determined, as the pleadings are still not resolved, but are expected to be resolved in 2017, at the earliest. No trial date has been set. If we fail in defending any such claims or settling those claims, in addition to paying monetary damages or a settlement payment, the outcome of this matter could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During 2013, we ceased operations in our affiliated company, UFAS. The operations of UFAS are now presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. UFAS was inactive during the six month periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 3, 2017, the Company appointed Timothy Boris as Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of the Company pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. Mr. Boris, 48, works closely with the Chief Executive Officer, the executive leadership team and the board of directors to drive the Company’s vision while overseeing the Company's operations, commercial transactions, corporate governance initiatives, investment concerns, regulatory requirements and other legal matters. He previously served as President and General Counsel for Spendsmart Networks, Inc. from December 2014 to April 2017. Previous to that, he served as Vice President of Business Affairs and General Counsel for Diffusion Pharmaceuticals.

Company Overview

Greenwood Hall, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “Greenwood Hall”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is an education technology company. Our corporate mission is to enable colleges and universities to remain relevant by helping them expand access to personalized educational opportunities that are flexible and affordable, and to prepare students for career opportunities. We assist schools in maximizing the student experience and driving successful student outcomes while leveraging technology to help reinvent their operating and financial models.

We provide cloud-based education management services that address the entire student lifecycle. Our solutions combine strategy, people, proven processes and robust technology to provide end-to-end services that begin with recruitment and student enrollment and can end with post-graduation job placement, career networking and alumni relations. Our solutions are utilized by schools that need to enhance the student experience and are looking to expand into new markets such as online learning, international and/or competency-based learning. All of our solutions are designed to help public and not-for-profit higher education institutions generate sustainable improvements in operating and financial results, while improving student success and satisfaction.

Our Services

Our core services include:

· Enrollment Management Solutions that support lead generation/marketing, new student recruitment, enrollment counseling, retention counseling, and student coaching;

· Student Support Solutions including financial aid advising, student accounts support, 24/7 help desk, and student concierge services;

18

· Consulting Services including market assessments and analysis of internal operational efficiency, retention initiatives, and the reengagement of students who have dropped out of a particular institution; and

· Data and Technology-Enabled Solutions that enable school clients to better manage and analyze data, deliver instruction to students (online, hybrid, and classroom), and make certain institutional decisions.

In addition to services provided to educational institutions, we provide donor lifecycle management services to various major non-profit organizations. The lifecycle management services for non-profit organizations are mainly related to legacy operations of our Company prior to entering the education marketplace in 2006.

We believe that our end-to-end solutions that span the entire student lifecycle provide us with an advantage over competing providers that often address isolated segments of the student lifecycle spectrum, such as student acquisition and student retention. We generally focus on small to medium-sized private and not-for-profit institutions and medium-sized to large public institutions.

Our Business Model

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from fee-for-service arrangements with our customers – either as a result of transactions processed/handled by the Company and/or monthly recurring subscription fees. Until recently, the majority of our revenue was transactional in nature. Moving forward, we anticipate the majority of our non-project based revenue will be subscription-based, in which customers generate a minimum set amount of revenue on a monthly and/or annual basis.

We continue to grow our new business pipeline and we believe the expansion of our sales resources position us well for substantial revenue growth in our core higher education business.

Recent Financing Transactions

On October 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with PCS Link, Inc., a California corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“PCS”), and Moriah Education Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Moriah”), pursuant to which Moriah granted a loan to PCS in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,500,000 (“Moriah Loan”). The Company also entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”) with Moriah, pursuant to which the Company pledged 1,007,920 shares of common stock of PCS held by the Company, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PCS, and (ii) John R. Hall, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Executive Officer of PCS, executed a personal guaranty (the “Personal Guaranty”), to secure PCS’ obligations under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the Loan Agreement, on October 14, 2016, the Company and Moriah entered into a Securities Issuance Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a five-year warrant to purchase 8,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.14 per share and a seven-year warrant to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.12 per share. The warrants were issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On October 14, 2016, in consideration for the Personal Guaranty, the Company issued to John Hall, its Chief Executive Officer, a five-year warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share. The warrants were issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In connection with the Moriah Loan, the Company restructured its existing debt held by Redwood Fund LP, Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, Colgan Financial Group, Inc., Opus Bank and California United Bank, as further described in the notes to the financial statements contained herein.

Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)

In this report, we supplement our reporting of certain financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP by utilizing certain non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents our earnings before interest expense, other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, transactional-related expenses, stock-based compensation, and changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by Management and the Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our Management and Board of Directors.

Adjusted EBITDA described below are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we do.

19

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include the following:

· Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

· Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

· Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;

· Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and

· Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Due to these and other limitations, investors should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other U.S. GAAP results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (loss) to net loss for each of the periods indicated:

Revenue, Net

Overall Revenue increased by $1,269,605, or 92.1%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the three months ended February 29, 2016, and increased by $2,520,611, or 94.5%, during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016, primarily due to increased sales as it relates to the Company’s strategic EdTech offerings.

Direct Cost of Services

Direct cost of service increased by $104,933, or 9.3%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017, and increased by $787,728, or 36.1%, during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016, primarily due to increased sales and personnel required to deliver services.

Personnel

Personnel costs increased by $35,872, or 4.7%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017, and increased by $190,034, or 14.5%, during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016, primarily due to increased management costs associated with the Company’s increase in revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $24,207, or 3.8%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017, primarily due to one-time professional costs associated with the financing transactions completed by the Company in October 2016 and decreased by $518,010, or 31.9%, during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016, primarily due to reductions in overhead expenses.

21

Equity-based Expense

Equity-based expense decreased by $416,792, or 95.1%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the three months ended February 29, 2016, and decreased by $469,482, or 89.2% during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016 due to reductions in stock-based transactions and compensation.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expenses increased by $185,436, or 29.3%, during the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the three months ended February 29, 2016, due primarily to the write-off of subscription receivable. Other income increased by $6,056,993, or 242.3%, during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016, primarily due to non-cash gains associated with the financing transactions completed by the Company in October 2016.

Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations

We experienced a net loss of $886,306 from continuing operations for the three months ended February 28, 2017. This compares with a net loss from continuing operations of $2,222,254, during the three months ended February 29, 2016, a decrease of $1,335,948, or 60.1%. We generated net income of $3,106,321 for the six months ended February 28, 2017. This compares with a net loss of $5,481,012 during the six months that ended February 29, 2016, an increase of net income of $ 8,587,333, or 156.7%, primarily due to non-cash gains associated with the financing transactions completed by the Company in October 2016.

Period-to-Period Fluctuations

Our revenue, cash position and accounts receivable may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to variations driven by the academic schedules of our clients’ programs. These programs generally start classes for new and returning students on an average of four times per year. Class start dates are not necessarily evenly spaced throughout the year, do not necessarily correspond to the traditional academic calendar and may vary from year to year. As a result, the number of classes our client programs have in session, and therefore the number of students enrolled, will vary from month to month and quarter to quarter, leading to variability in our revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

	February 28, 2017			August 31, 2016
Total Current Assets	$	1,538,315			934,039
Total Current Liabilities		8,318,166			14,061,690
Working Capital Deficit		(6,779,851	)		(13,127,651	)

The working capital deficit decreased by $6,347,800, or 48.4%, from August 31, 2016 to February 28, 2017, due primarily to the financing transactions completed by the Company in October 2016.

Cash Flows

Net Cash provided by (used in) Investing Activities		(1,411	)		-
Net Cash provided by (used in) Financing Activities		1,241,995			1,422,083

The decrease by $393,224, or 24.1%, in net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended February 28, 2017 as compared to the six months ended February 29, 2016 was due to increases in revenue. The increase by $1,411 in cash used in investing activities in the six months ended February 28, 2017 as compared to the six months ended February 29, 2016 was due to investments in property and equipment. The decrease by $180,088, or 12.7%, in cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended February 28, 2017 as compared with the six months ended February 29, 2016 was due to increased payments on notes payable.

22

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of February 28, 2017 and continues to incur a loss from continuing operations during the second quarter of FY-2017. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following February 28, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance our growth and general and administrative expenses as well as materially reducing the Company’s debt load. These alternatives include raising funds through public or private equity markets and either through institutional or retail investors. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with our fund raising initiatives, Management believes that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that potential financing will be obtained on term acceptable to management and future financing may substantially dilute the ownership of existing stockholders

Management intends to restore profitability by continuing to grow our operations and customer base while maintaining the overhead savings we achieved during our recent restructuring. Management’s recent restructuring of the Company’s debt contributed to reducing the Company’s debt load. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan, generate additional revenues and restructure certain liabilities provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Lack of Working Capital

As a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of its capital structure, it has, at times, suffered from costly cash flow challenges as well as associated costs, missed opportunities and inability to fully scale its operations. The lack of working capital has caused the Company to rely heavily on operating revenue as well as other sources of capital, such as debt. The Company believes proper capital investment and less reliance on incurring new debt to finance the Company’s growth will enable the Company to improve its financial performance in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

Except as described below, there were no other significant changes to our outstanding contractual obligations as of February 28, 2017 from amounts previously disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report.

Debt

A detailed description of the Company’s debt is provided in Note 3 under Item 1 hereunder and is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience, the advice of external experts or on other assumptions management believes to be reasonable. Where actual amounts differ from estimates, revisions are included in the results for the period in which actual amounts become known. Historically, differences between estimates and actual amounts have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements are discussed with our Board of Directors as they are implemented and on an annual basis.

We have no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosure as filed in our 2016 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2017, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

After the first quarter of FY-2017 we concluded that our internal controls and procedures were not effective, specifically as they related to the late filing of our quarterly report for the three month period that ended November 30, 2016. Certain staffing and management protocols have been put in place to help ensure proper controls and procedures are effective going forward as they relate to the timely filing of the Company’s quarterly and annual financial reports.

Except for the matter noted above, no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

In the event Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by either party, for any reason, Executive will earn the base salary as then in-effect prorated to the date of termination.

4.2           Incentive Compensation. During each calendar year beginning in 2017, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus of twenty to fifty percent (20% - 50%) (“Target Bonus”) as in-effect for the applicable calendar year (the “Annual Bonus”), subject to the achievement of personal and corporate objectives or milestones to be established by the Board of Directors, or any Compensation Committee thereof, (after considering any input or recommendations from Executive) within sixty (60) days following the beginning of each calendar year during Executive’s employment. In order to earn the Annual Bonus under this provision, the applicable objectives must be achieved and Executive must be employed by Company at the time the Annual Bonus is distributed by Company. For Calendar Year 2017, Executive’s initial Key Performance Indicators, Financial Performance Objectives, and Target Bonus Schedule are attached hereto as Exhibit “A” of this Agreement. The Annual Bonus shall be paid on or before the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Calendar Year in which it is considered earned. The actual Annual Bonus paid may be more or less than the Target Bonus.

4.3           Performance and Salary Review. The Board of Directors will periodically review Executive’s performance on no less than an annual basis. Upward adjustments to salary or other compensation, if any, will be recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and made by the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion.

4.4           Stock Option. In addition, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, Executive shall be issued stock options equal to 500,000 of common shares in Company with a strike price of $ 0.01, out of approximately 63,750,000 outstanding shares of Company (the “Option”). The Option will vest over a two (2) year period and be granted under Company’s stock plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and related stock option documents. The Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) to the greatest extent permitted under the Code. The Option will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of one share of Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. As a condition of receipt of the Option, Executive will be required to sign Company’s standard form of stock option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and the Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Option Agreement and this Agreement.

Executive shall be eligible to receive an additional 350,000 shares of restricted stock (stock options) after the completion of one (1) year of employment.

If, due to the benefits provided under Section 4.4 above, Executive is subject to any excise tax due to characterization of any amounts payable under Section 4.4 as excess parachute payments pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), the amounts payable under Section 4.4 will be reduced (to the least extent possible) in order to avoid any “excess parachute payment” under section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

5.           Customary Fringe Benefits. Executive will be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans, fringe benefits, perquisites or other arrangements maintained by Company on no less favorable terms than for other Company executives subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit plan documents.

Commencing on the Effective Date, Executive shall annually accrue and use paid vacation subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s vacation policy as in effect from time to time. Any unused accrued vacation shall be paid out to Executive in cash upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason applying Executive’s rate of base salary as in-effect at such time. In addition, Executive shall receive a car allowance of $1,500 per month to cover the monthly costs associated with the leasing or purchasing of an automobile and related expenses (including, without limitation, mileage, gas, insurance, registration, repairs and maintenance expenses), with no additional mileage or other expenses paid by Company.

6.           Business Expenses. Executive will be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of Company.

7.           Termination of Executive’s Employment.

7.1           Termination for Cause by Company. Although Company anticipates a mutually rewarding employment relationship with Executive, Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for Cause subject to the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Company; (b) any acts or conduct by Executive that are materially adverse to Company’s interests; (c) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement; (d) Executive’s material breach of Company’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement; (e) Executive’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude or that otherwise materially negatively impacts Executive’s ability to effectively perform Executive’s duties hereunder; (f) Executive’s willful neglect of duties as determined in the good faith discretion of the Board of Directors (provided that poor performance and/or subpar results by themselves do not constitute Cause); or (g) the winding down of Company’s entire business and/or dissolution or liquidation of Company (other than in connection with a change in control). In the event of termination of Executive’s employment based on clauses (a), (b) or (f) above, Executive will have thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Company to cure the issue, if curable. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this subsection 7.1 Executive shall be entitled to receive only Executive’s base salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination plus all vacation, and benefits accrued through the date of termination plus any earned (as determined by the Board of Directors) but unpaid bonus for a prior completed calendar year (collectively, “Standard Entitlements”). In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of any business expenses, to the extent not previously reimbursed, in accordance with Section 6 above. Except for any terms and conditions of this Agreement that by their terms survive termination of Executive’s employment, all other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package or other amounts described in subsection 7.2 below. For clarification, the foregoing is an exclusive list of the acts or omissions that shall be considered “Cause” for the termination of Executive’s employment by Company.

7.2           Qualifying Termination/Severance. Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time on written notice to Executive and Executive may resign his employment for Good Reason as defined below (either of such terminations is a “Qualifying Termination”). As used in this Agreement, “Good Reason" shall mean that any one or more of the following events have occurred without Executive’s express prior written consent:

(i)            A material adverse change in Executive’s authority, duties and/or responsibilities such that Executive’s authority, duties and/or responsibilities are no longer commensurate with Executive being Company’s COO or General Counsel;

(iii)          Any material breach by Company of any material term of this Agreement; or

(iv)         Any material reduction by Company (or its successor) of (A) Executive’s base salary or (B) Executive’s Target Bonus, unless any such reduction is made as part of, and is generally consistent with, a general reduction of senior executive base salaries or target bonuses, respectively, in which case such a reduction shall not constitute Good Reason.

In order to resign Executive’s employment for Good Reason, Executive must within 60 days of Executive’s awareness of the applicable Good Reason event(s) provide Company with written notice informing Company about Executive’s intention to resign Executive’s employment for Good Reason unless such event(s) is cured or remedied by Company (“Good Reason Notice“). Company will have 30 days after its receipt of such Good Reason Notice to cure or remedy the Good Reason event(s). If Company does not timely cure or remedy the Good Reason event(s), then Executive can resign Executive’s employment for Good Reason at any time within 30 days following the expiration of the 30 day cure/remedy period. This “Good Reason” definition and process is intended to constitute an involuntary separation from service as provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(n) and shall be interpreted accordingly.

-4-

In the event of a Qualifying Termination, Executive will receive the Standard Entitlements and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of any business expenses, to the extent not previously reimbursed, in accordance with Section 6 above. In addition, Executive will receive (a) a “Severance Payment” in an amount which is equivalent to six (6) months of Executive’s base salary then in effect on the date of termination, payable in equal installments (but no less frequently than once per calendar month) over a period of three (3) months, in accordance with Company’s regular payroll cycle, beginning on the first payroll date following the date on which the general release referenced below has become effective and (b) payment (or reimbursement) of monthly premiums for Executive and Executive’s dependents’ group health care coverage continuation pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, for such three-month period, provided Executive elects to continue and remains eligible for such benefits and does not become eligible for health coverage through another employer during this period (together with the Severance Payment, the “Severance Package”). Executive will only receive the Severance Package and other severance benefits and payments described if Executive: (i) complies with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 15.8 below; and (ii) executes a separation agreement and release of claims agreement and such release has become effective in accordance with its terms prior to the 60th day following the termination date. Except for any terms and conditions of this Agreement that by their terms survive termination of Executive’s employment, all other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished.

7.3          Voluntary Resignation by Executive. Executive may voluntarily resign Executive’s position with Company at any time without Good Reason. In the event of Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, Executive will be entitled to receive only the Standard Entitlements. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of any business expenses, to the extent not previously reimbursed, in accordance with Section 6 above. Except for any terms and conditions of this Agreement that by their terms survive termination of Executive’s employment, all other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package or other amounts described in subsection 7.2 above.

-5-

7.4           Termination upon Death or Disability. If Company terminates Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s Disability (as defined below), or if Executive’s employment is terminated due to the death of Executive, then Executive shall become entitled to the Standard Entitlements. Except as provided below, Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except those (if any) as may then be established under Company’s then existing severance and benefit plans and policies and applicable to all employees at the time of Executive’s death or such Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to the death or Disability of Executive, then Executive shall be entitled to receive a Severance Payment in an amount which is equivalent to (i) six (6) months of Executive’s base salary then in effect on the date of termination, minus (ii) the aggregate amount that Employee is entitled to receive under Company’s paid life insurance policy or disability insurance policy, such remaining amount to be payable to Executive in equal installments (but no less frequently than once per calendar month) over a period of six (6) months, in accordance with Company’s regular payroll cycle, beginning on the first payroll date following the date on which the general release referenced in Section 7.2 has become effective. In the event of Executive’s death, all such payments contemplated in this Section 7.4 shall be made to such person as Executive will designate in a notice filed with Company or, if no such person is designated, to Executive’s estate. In addition, upon the Disability or death of Executive, Company shall pay (or reimburse) the monthly premiums for the continued benefit of Executive or Executive’s immediate family, as applicable, of group health care coverage continuation pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, for a six-month period (in addition to the “Severance Payment” contemplated hereunder, the “Severance Package”). As used herein, the term “Disability” shall mean that Executive has been unable to perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement as the result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld.). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least 30 days’ written notice by Company of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of Executive’s duties hereunder before the termination of Executive’s employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

7.5           Resignation of Other Positions. Should Executive’s employment terminate for any reason, Executive agrees to immediately resign all other positions Executive may hold with or on behalf of Company.

7.6           Application of Section 409A.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A Regulations”) that is to be paid based upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be paid unless and until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of Executive’s separation from service shall be paid to Executive before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is the first day of the seventh month after the date of Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

-6-

(b)           Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code and Company shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts in administering this Agreement and any payments or benefits to be provided to Executive to ensure that Executive is not subject to any such taxation. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. However, Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, except for Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to Executive, Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in any other taxable year; (2) the reimbursement of eligible expenses or in-kind benefits shall be made promptly, subject to Company’s applicable policies, but in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d)           For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

If the Board of Directors believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, the Board of Directors may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work and/or activities or resign employment with Company (if Executive elects to not discontinue such other work or activities).

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Greenwood Hall, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “Greenwood Hall”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is an emerging education management solutions provider that delivers end-to-end services that support the entire student lifecycle including offerings that increase student enrollment, improve student experience, optimize student success and outcomes, and help schools maximize operating efficiencies. Since 2006, we have developed and customized turnkey solutions that combine strategy, personnel, proven processes and robust technology to help schools effectively and efficiently improve student outcomes, expand into new markets such as online learning, increase revenues, and deliver enhanced student experiences. Our Company currently has 158 employees and has served more than 62 education clients and over 75 degree programs.

Basis of Presentation

On July 23, 2014, Greenwood Hall (formerly Divio Holdings, Corp. (“Divio”)) and its wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) consummated the transactions contemplated under a Merger Agreement, dated July 22, 2014, by and among Divio, Merger Sub, and PCS Link, Inc. (“PCS Link”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into PCS Link with PCS Link remaining as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and PCS Link became a wholly owned subsidiary of Divio. As a result of the Merger, the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCS Link common stock exchanged all of such shares (other than “dissenting shares” as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1300) for a combined total of 25,250,000 shares of common stock of Divio, representing approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares on the effective date of the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Divio Holdings, Corp. changed its name to Greenwood Hall, Inc.

The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” with PCS Link as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the legal acquirer. Although, the Company acquired PCS Link from a legal perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of PCS Link accompanied by an issuance of stock by PCS Link for the net assets of Greenwood Hall from an accounting perspective. This is because Greenwood Hall did not have operations immediately prior to the Merger, and PCS Link became the operating company as a result thereof. The board of directors of Greenwood Hall immediately after the Merger consisted of five directors, four of whom were nominated by PCS Link. Additionally, PCS Link’s stockholders owned 71% of the outstanding shares of Greenwood Hall immediately after completion of the transaction.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2017 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 6, 2016. As contemplated by the SEC under Article 8 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwood Hall, PCS Link, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenwood Hall (“PCS Link”), and University Financial Aid Solutions, LLC (“UFAS”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Greenwood Hall”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Through our affiliate UFAS we provided complete financial aid solutions. During 2013, UFAS ceased operations and is presently winding down its affairs. As a result, UFAS is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. 

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of February 28, 2017 and has continued to incur a loss from operations during the first six months of fiscal year 2017.

The Company has historically funded its activities through cash generated from operations, debt financing, the issuance of equity for cash, and advances from stockholders. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company generated $1,241,995 in financing activities.

Management intends to become profitable by continuing to grow its operations and customer base. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Research and Development

Costs relating to designing and developing new products are expensed in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contracts are typically structured into two categories, (i) fixed-fee service contracts that span a period of time, often in excess of one year, and (ii) service contracts at agreed-upon rates based on the volume of service provided or a flat monthly subscription fee. Some of the Company’s service contracts are subject to guaranteed minimum amounts of service volume.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. For fixed-fee service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of contract performance. Costs incurred under these service contracts are expensed as incurred.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments received from customers for which the Company’s revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue once the criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance may be made. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectable. 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used are as follows:

Classification	Life
Equipment	5-7 Years
Computer equipment	7 Years

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted shares during the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, when their effect is anti-dilutive.

Variable Interest Entities

Generally, an entity is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns.

University Financial Aid Services, LLC was 60% owned by John Hall and Zan Greenwood, who at the time held a combined 92.5% of our common stock and served as directors of PCS Link. John Hall is the CEO of the Company and Zan Greenwood served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer through June 2013. The equity owners of UFAS have no equity at risk, Greenwood Hall has funded UFAS’ operations since it was formed in 2010, and we have the ability to exercise control over UFAS through our two stockholders / directors.

Based on our assessment, we have determined that UFAS is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary, as defined in current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of UFAS. To date, the Company has not allocated any income or loss of UFAS to noncontrolling interests as the noncontrolling interests never had any equity at risk. As previously discussed, UFAS ceased operations during 2013 and is presently winding down its affairs. The Company does not anticipate having any future involvement with UFAS after it is dissolved.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising amounted to $3,550 and $18,040 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and, $10,759 and $37,278 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs related to stock options and other equity awards are determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Under this method, compensation cost is calculated based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance FASB ASC 718-10, amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. Stock-based compensation was $21,450 and $98,750 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and $56,944 and $98,750 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. This expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity-Based Compensation. 

Derivative Liabilities

We account for warrants and conversion features as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants and conversion features classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Some of our warrants and conversion features were determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Instruments classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as assets or liabilities are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate.

During the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $57,445 and $20,486, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $463,037 and $222,735, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three levels of hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.” Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Level Input:	Input Definition:
Level I	Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level II	Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level III	Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

For certain of our financial instruments, including working capital instruments, the carrying amounts are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Our notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

February 28, 2017  

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	1,238,620	$	1,238,620

August 31, 2016  

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	846,583	$	846,583

The assumptions used in valuing derivative instruments issued during the year ended August 31, 2016 were as follows:

Risk free interest rate	0.68% - 0.71	%
Expected life	0.08 Years – 2.00 years
Dividend yield	None
Volatility	100.0	%

The assumptions used in valuing derivative instruments issued during the six months ended February 28, 2017 were as follows:

Risk free interest rate	1.00% - 2.19	%
Expected life	0.84 Years-10 years
Dividend yield	None
Volatility	70.1% - 111.0	%

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability related to these instruments for the six months ended February 28, 2017:

Value at August 31, 2016	$	846,583
Issuance of instruments		1,161,043
Change in value		(421,316	)
Net settlements		(347,690	)
Value as of February 28, 2017	$	1,238,620

The derivative liabilities are estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary input affecting the value of our derivatives liabilities is the Company’s stock price, term and volatility. Other inputs have a comparatively insignificant effect.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards 

There were no recently issued accounting standards during the period ended February 28, 2017 that impacted our consolidated financial statements or ongoing financial reporting.

NOTES PAYABLE

3. NOTES PAYABLE

On October 14, 2016, the Company executed a new credit agreement (“Moriah Agreement”) with Moriah Educational Management LLC (“Moriah”). The Moriah Agreement provided for a revolving loan (“Revolving Loan”) for up to $3,500,000. The Revolving Loan may be drawn in tranches of not less than $500,000. On October 14, 2016 (“Advance Date”) the Company borrowed the full $3,500,000 (“Principal”). Interest on the Revolving Loan shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days and shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of advances at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (B) Seven and Three Quarters Percent (7.75%), or (ii) Ten Percent (10.0%), but in no event in excess of Fourteen Percent (14%) per annum unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing. The prime rate was 3.5% on the Advance date. The Principal is due and payable, with all accrued and unpaid interest on October 13, 2018 with monthly payments of $29,167 starting on April 1, 2017. The Moriah Agreement contains a prepayment penalty. If the Company pays the entire unpaid Principal before April 30, 2017, a penalty of three percent (3%) of the then-outstanding Principal under the Revolving Loan. 

As part of the Moriah Agreement, the Company issued two warrants to Moriah for the purchase of the Company’s common stock:

The Moriah Warrant is for the purchase, for a period of seven years, of up to 3,500,000 shares of the Company common stock at a purchase price of $0.12 per share, which is adjustable downward (“Ratchet-down”) if the Company issues share of its common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock at a price below $0.12. The Company has determined the Ratchet-down provision causes the Moriah Warrant to be a derivative, accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Moriah Warrant to be recorded as a liability on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of the October 14, 2016, the fair value of the Moriah Warrant was approximately $23,000, which was recorded as a discount to the Revolving Loan and amortized as an expense over the life of the Revolving Loan. As of February 28, 2017, the fair value of the Moriah Warrant was approximately $76,833.

Moriah Put is for the purchase, for a period of five years, of up to 8,125,000 shares of the Company common stock at a purchase price of $0.14 per share, which is adjustable downward (“Ratchet-down”) if the Company issues share of its common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock at a price below $0.14. Also, the Moriah Put grants the holder of the option to sell all or any portion of the Moriah Put or the Moriah Put Shares (“Put Option”) for which the Moriah Put has been exercised to the Company for a total purchase price of up to One Million One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,137,500), pro-rated for any portion thereof, representing a purchase price of Fourteen Cents ($0.14) per Moriah Put Share, subject to adjustment. The Put Option may be exercised at any time and, if for a portion thereof, from time to time, during the fifteen-day period (the “Put Period”) commencing on the earliest of (1) the date when Moriah receives written notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to prepay the Revolving Loan, which notice shall be delivered by the Company to Moriah so as to be received by Moriah no later than fifteen days prior to the proposed date of prepayment; (2) the date of Moriah’s acceleration of the Obligations following an event of default, or (3) September 29, 2018

The Company has determined the Ratchet-down and Put Option provisions causes the Moriah Put to be a derivative, accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Moriah Put to be recorded as a liability on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of the October 14, 2016, the fair value of the Moriah Put was approximately $1,137,500, which was recorded as a discount to the Revolving Loan and amortized as an expense over the life of the Revolving Loan. As of February 28, 2017, the fair value of the Moriah Put was approximately $1,137,500.

Also, the Moriah Put provides the Company call the Moriah Put (“Call Option”) so long as any portion of this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company’s Common Stock has both (a) an average closing price greater than $0.50 per share, and (b) an average daily trading volume in excess of 300,000 shares, in each case for the immediately preceding ninety (90) consecutive trading days and continuing through the call notice period or such earlier date as the Moriah Put is exercised or transferred, the Company shall have the irrevocable right, but not the obligation, to demand automatic exercise, in whole or in part, by the Holder. The Company has determined the Call Option to be a derivative asset in a accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires the Call Option to be recorded as an asset on the date of issuance and revalued every reporting period, with the increase or decrease in fair value recorded as a loss or gain in the Company’s statement of operations. As of October 14, 2016 and February 28, 2017, the Company has determined the Call Option fair value to be approximately $0.

Under the Moriah Agreement the Company has the following reporting and financial covenants:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

6. INCOME TAXES

The difference between income tax expense attributable to continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to pre-tax income (loss) is mainly related to an increase in the valuation allowance, partially offset by state income taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred income tax assets are mainly related to net operating loss carryforwards. Management has chosen to take a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred income tax asset until such time as management believes that its projections of future profits make the realization of the deferred income tax assets more likely than not. Significant judgment is required in the evaluation of deferred income tax benefits and differences in future results from management’s estimates could result in material differences.

A majority of the Company’s deferred tax asset is comprised of net operating loss carryforwards, offset by a 100% valuation allowance at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016.

As of February 28, 2017, the Company is in process of determining the amount of Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards (“NOL”) available to offset future taxable income. The Company’s NOLs expire at various dates through 2037. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income, to the extent the Company generates any taxable income, and thereby reduce or eliminate future federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change as defined in Section 382. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change has occurred, or were to occur, utilization of the Company’s NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The Company could experience an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of events in the past in combination with events in the future. If so, the use of the Company’s NOLs, or a portion thereof, against future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs before utilization.

Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed, if applicable, from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.

Legal Matters 

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings in the normal conduct of its business.

On August 26, 2016, Zantine Greenwood (“Greenwood”), a former officer and founder of the Company, commenced a proceeding in Arbitration alleging that the Company had breached its obligations under a consulting agreement entered into by and between Greenwood and the Company on or about July 24, 2014 (the “Consulting Agreement”).  The Company did not appear at the Arbitration.  On September 23, 2016, the Arbitrator issued an award to Greenwood against the Company in the sum of $236,251.  On October 26, 2016, Greenwood filed a petition to confirm the award in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BS165962. The Company opposed the petition and requested that the court vacate the award, asserting that the arbitration provision in the Consulting Agreement was void under applicable law and therefore the Arbitrator had no jurisdiction over the dispute. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and between the Company and Greenwood, dated January 9, 2017, the Company agreed to pay Greenwood $115,000 plus 5.5% simple interest in monthly installments of $10,000 until payment in full in exchange for a release of any and all claims against the Company arising from or relating to the dispute.  Conditions to the settlement were that the Court vacate the award and retain jurisdiction until all payments have been made, which Order was entered by the Court on February 15, 2017.

On March 11, 2016, StoryCorp Consulting, Inc. and David R. Wells filed suit against the Company and the John R. Hall, in his individual capacity, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (Central District) for breach of contract and promissory fraud/false promise, among other things, seeking an amount of not less than $ 100,000. The Company believes that it has a strong defense and is vigorously defending against this lawsuit, but the potential range of loss related to this matter cannot be determined, as the pleadings are still not resolved, but are expected to be resolved in 2017, at the earliest. No trial date has been set. If we fail in defending any such claims or settling those claims, in addition to paying monetary damages or a settlement payment, the outcome of this matter could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of the Merger, the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCS Link common stock exchanged all of such shares (other than “dissenting shares” as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1300) for a combined total of 25,250,000 shares of common stock of Divio, representing approximately 71% of the total outstanding shares on the effective date of the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Divio Holdings, Corp. changed its name to Greenwood Hall, Inc.

The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” with PCS Link as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the legal acquirer. Although, the Company acquired PCS Link from a legal perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of PCS Link accompanied by an issuance of stock by PCS Link for the net assets of Greenwood Hall from an accounting perspective. This is because Greenwood Hall did not have operations immediately prior to the Merger, and PCS Link became the operating company as a result thereof. The board of directors of Greenwood Hall immediately after the Merger consisted of five directors, four of whom were nominated by PCS Link. Additionally, PCS Link’s stockholders owned 71% of the outstanding shares of Greenwood Hall immediately after completion of the transaction.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2017 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 6, 2016. As contemplated by the SEC under Article 8 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwood Hall, PCS Link, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenwood Hall (“PCS Link”), and University Financial Aid Solutions, LLC (“UFAS”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Greenwood Hall”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Through our affiliate UFAS we provided complete financial aid solutions. During 2013, UFAS ceased operations and is presently winding down its affairs. As a result, UFAS is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

Going Concern

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of February 28, 2017 and has continued to incur a loss from operations during the first six months of fiscal year 2017.

The Company has historically funded its activities through cash generated from operations, debt financing, the issuance of equity for cash, and advances from stockholders. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company generated $1,241,995 in financing activities.

Management intends to become profitable by continuing to grow its operations and customer base. If the Company is not successful in becoming profitable, it may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Costs relating to designing and developing new products are expensed in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contracts are typically structured into two categories, (i) fixed-fee service contracts that span a period of time, often in excess of one year, and (ii) service contracts at agreed-upon rates based on the volume of service provided or a flat monthly subscription fee. Some of the Company’s service contracts are subject to guaranteed minimum amounts of service volume.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. For fixed-fee service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of contract performance. Costs incurred under these service contracts are expensed as incurred.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments received from customers for which the Company’s revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue once the criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the collectability of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance may be made. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Company’s accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectable.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used are as follows:

Classification	Life
Equipment	5-7 Years
Computer equipment	7 Years

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted shares during the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, when their effect is anti-dilutive.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

Generally, an entity is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns.

University Financial Aid Services, LLC was 60% owned by John Hall and Zan Greenwood, who at the time held a combined 92.5% of our common stock and served as directors of PCS Link. John Hall is the CEO of the Company and Zan Greenwood served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer through June 2013. The equity owners of UFAS have no equity at risk, Greenwood Hall has funded UFAS’ operations since it was formed in 2010, and we have the ability to exercise control over UFAS through our two stockholders / directors.

Based on our assessment, we have determined that UFAS is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary, as defined in current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of UFAS. To date, the Company has not allocated any income or loss of UFAS to noncontrolling interests as the noncontrolling interests never had any equity at risk. As previously discussed, UFAS ceased operations during 2013 and is presently winding down its affairs. The Company does not anticipate having any future involvement with UFAS after it is dissolved.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising amounted to $3,550 and $18,040 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and, $10,759 and $37,278 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs related to stock options and other equity awards are determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Under this method, compensation cost is calculated based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance FASB ASC 718-10, amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. Stock-based compensation was $21,450 and $98,750 for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, and $56,944 and $98,750 for the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. This expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity-Based Compensation.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative Liabilities

We account for warrants and conversion features as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants and conversion features classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Some of our warrants and conversion features were determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Instruments classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as assets or liabilities are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate.

During the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $57,445 and $20,486, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company recognized a change in value of the derivative liability of $463,037 and $222,735, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three levels of hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.” Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Level Input:	Input Definition:
Level I	Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level II	Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level III	Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

For certain of our financial instruments, including working capital instruments, the carrying amounts are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Our notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

February 28, 2017  

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	1,238,620	$	1,238,620

August 31, 2016  

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	846,583	$	846,583

The assumptions used in valuing derivative instruments issued during the year ended August 31, 2016 were as follows:

Risk free interest rate	0.68% - 0.71	%
Expected life	0.08 Years – 2.00 years
Dividend yield	None
Volatility	100.0	%

The assumptions used in valuing derivative instruments issued during the six months ended February 28, 2017 were as follows:

Risk free interest rate	1.00% - 2.19	%
Expected life	0.84 Years-10 years
Dividend yield	None
Volatility	70.1% - 111.0	%

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability related to these instruments for the six months ended February 28, 2017:

Value at August 31, 2016	$	846,583
Issuance of instruments		1,161,043
Change in value		(421,316	)
Net settlements		(347,690	)
Value as of February 28, 2017	$	1,238,620

The derivative liabilities are estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary input affecting the value of our derivatives liabilities is the Company’s stock price, term and volatility. Other inputs have a comparatively insignificant effect.
