* Derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 30, 2020.

The Company had 342 sales employees at August 31, 2021, a decrease of 31 or 8.3% from the prior year quarter. The Company’s sales force is divided into sales focus teams (SFT’s). The Company had 100 SFT’s as of August 31, 2021, an increase of 5 from the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT’s in fiscal year 2021. The Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model.
