Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Segment reporting · 4,075 characters as filed

Note 10 BUSINESS SEGMENTS We have two reportable segments: PaperPie and Publishing. These reportable segments are business units that offer different methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. Our PaperPie segment markets its products through a network of independent Brand Partners using a combination of internet sales, direct sales, home shows, and book fairs. Our Publishing segment markets its products to retail accounts, which include book, school supply, toy and gift stores, museums, trade and specialty wholesalers, through commissioned sales representatives, and our internal tele-sales group. See Note 7 for the impact of our updated Usborne distribution agreement on the Publishing segment. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the rest of the Company. We evaluate segment performance based on earnings before income taxes of the segments, which is defined as segment net revenues reduced by cost of sales and direct expenses. Direct expenses are composed of payroll, commissions, general and administrative, and operating and selling expenses. Corporate expenses, depreciation, interest expense, other income, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments but are listed in the Other row below. Corporate expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management, warehouse operations …

Note 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim condensed financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
