FranklinCovey Announces 4th Quarter / Full Year 2008 Operating Results

Monday, November 17th, 2008
FranklinCovey Announces 4th Quarter and Full Year 2008 Operating Results
Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE:FC) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. The Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008 are difficult to compare to prior periods due to the Company’s sale of its Consumer Solutions Business Unit (CSBU) to a new private equity-funded entity known as Franklin Covey Products, LLC, which was effective July 6, 2008. The CSBU was primarily responsible for sales of the Company’s consumer products, including the popular FranklinCovey Planner(TM), binders, and related accessories, to consumers and small businesses through retail, wholesale, Internet, and call center channels. Due to the Company’s 19.5 percent voting interest and continuing involvement with Franklin Covey Products, LLC, the Company will not present the financial results of the CSBU in a discontinued operations format at August 31, 2008 or in future periods.Following the sale of the CSBU, the Company will focus its full resources and efforts on the continued expansion of its training, consulting, content-rich media, and thought leadership businesses. Franklin Covey remains a global business with directly owned offices and licensees that currently operate in 147 countries.

some ideals for bags and briefcases from Franklin Covey

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

What is your favorite collection this season?

Hands down, my favorite collection this season is the Limited Edition Park City Collection, You could shop all over Europe and never find a better bag for work and weekend. I like so many things about this bag: it’s the perfect size to carry the matching Park City binder, your wallet, keys, phone, and water bottle. Plus, I love the materials; while the suede dresses it up, the patent leather balances it out so it fits right in anywhere.
