Our quarterly results also may fluctuate depending on the timing of the start of the various schools' semesters, as well as shifts in our fiscal calendar dates. These shifts in timing may affect the comparability of our results across periods. Our fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of April.

The ASU requires upfront implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (or hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to be amortized to hosting expense over the term of the arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. We have adopted this standard effective April 28, 2019 (first day of this fiscal quarter) prospectively for all implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (or hosting arrangement) that is a service contract after the date of adoption. Under previous accounting guidance, we capitalized certain implementation costs, primarily related to digital and consumer data platforms, to property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and depreciated these implementation costs to depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the term of the service contract once the asset was ready for its intended use. The adoption of this standard will impact our condensed consolidated financial statements to the extent that implementation costs which were previously capitalized and depreciated as described above, will be included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations under this adopted guidance. We expect to incur additional costs to implement cloud computing arrangements during the remainder of Fiscal 2020 and expect the implementation costs capitalized to prepaid expense in the condensed consolidated balance sheet will increase accordingly.</font></div></div>
