The condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October 27, 2018 include the financial results of Student Brands in the DSS segment, and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October 28, 2017 include the financial results of Student Brands from the date of acquisition on August 3, 2017.
On August 21, 2018, we acquired the assets of PaperRater.com, a leading website that offers students a suite of writing services aimed at improving multiple facets of writing.  PaperRater’s services include plagiarism detection, grammar feedback, and an AI-based writing score predictor, and are highly complementary to Student Brands’ existing writing service offerings. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October 27, 2018 include the financial results of PaperRater in the DSS segment from the date of acquisition and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October 28, 2017 exclude the financial results of PaperRater.
