The Publishing divisions net revenues reduced 41.6% to $1,365,500 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $2,339,300 for the same quarter a year ago. This decrease in sales resulted from temporary store closures influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of our publishing consumers temporarily closed in March, following the guidance from their local authorities to prevent the spread of the pandemic, and are reopening at varying times over the summer months.
Per Mr. White, “Due to the closures of many schools during the quarter, we experienced increased demand for educational materials in homes. Our increase in active UBAM consultants and our ability to receive orders online and deliver directly to our consumers’ homes resulted in our increased UBAM revenues during the quarter. We are excited to see this increase in demand for our products continue through the summer and into the fall as parents continue to limit outside activities and look to homeschooling options for the fall semester. We are also excited by the continued growth in active consultants. We are seeing our recruiting numbers climb to new levels as families look for non-traditional income streams to supplement or replace their income levels maintained previous to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
