Amendment Description

Legacy Education Alliance, Inc., the “Company,” is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 1 of Part I “Financial Information,” (ii) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” (iii) Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures,” and (iv) Item 6 of Part II, “Exhibits.” We have also updated the signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, and our financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101. No other sections were affected, but for the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety, as amended, our Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Except as stated herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q with the SEC on May 15, 2017 and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Original Form 10-Q.

 

We have determined that our previously reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 overstated Revenue, understated Direct Course Expense, Total Operating Costs and Expenses, overstated Income from Operations, Income Before Income Taxes, Net Income, Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (Unaudited) and Deferred Course Expenses, Total Current Assets, Total Assets, understated Deferred Revenue (current portion), Total Current Liabilities, and Total Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). We have made necessary conforming changes in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” resulting from the correction of these errors.
