Monty Corporation is preparing the comparative financial statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal years ended May 31, 2017, and May 31, 2018. The income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, was $1,778,000 and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, was $2,461,000. In both years, the company incurred a 10% interest expense on $2,316,000 of debt, an obligation that requires interest-only payments for 5 years. The company experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $583,000 on February 2018. The company uses a 40% effective tax rate for income taxes.

There were no preferred dividends in arrears, and the company had not issued any convertible securities, options, or warrants.

On October 1, 2016, Monty sold an additional 500,000 shares of the common stock at $20 per share. Monty distributed a 20% stock dividend on the common shares outstanding on January 1, 2017. On December 1, 2017, Monty was able to sell an additional 776,000 shares of the common stock at $22 per share.
