NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS             (unaudited)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATIONThe consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for all periods presented, have been made.
"H&R Block," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to H&R Block, Inc., to H&R Block, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or to H&R Block, Inc.'s operating subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context.
On June 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company's fiscal year end from April 30 to June 30. The Company's 2022 fiscal year began on July 1, 2021 and will end on June 30, 2022. As a result of this change, the Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-Q that included the financial information for the transition period from May 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 (Transition Period). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our April 30, 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K and our June 30, 2021 Transition Report filed on Form 10-Q.
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATESThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the evaluation of contingent losses arising from our discontinued mortgage business, contingent losses associated with pending claims and litigation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, fair value of reporting units, and related matters. Estimates have been prepared based on the best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS – Our operating revenues are seasonal in nature with peak revenues typically occurring in the months of February through April. Therefore, results for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
On March 21, 2020, the federal tax filing deadline in the U.S. for individual 2019 tax returns was extended from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020, shifting a portion of revenues and expenses from that tax season into the six months ended December 31, 2020. This extension impacted the typical seasonality of our business and the comparability of our financial results.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – Our discontinued operations include the results of operations of Sand Canyon Corporation, previously known as Option One Mortgage Corporation (including its subsidiaries, collectively, SCC), which exited its mortgage business in fiscal year 2008. See note 9 for additional information on litigation, claims, and other loss contingencies related to our discontinued operations.

As of December 31, 2021, deferred revenue related to POM was $126.7 million. We expect that $93.1 million will be recognized over the next twelve months, while the remaining balance will be recognized over the following five years.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Tax Identity Shield® (TIS) deferred revenue was $18.5 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Deferred revenue related to TIS was $28.3 million and $28.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. All deferred revenue related to TIS will be recognized by April 30, 2022.
NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
EARNINGS PER SHARE – Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of shares of common stock issuable upon the lapse of certain restrictions or the exercise of options to purchase 5.1 million shares for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 5.3 million shares for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations during the periods.

The decrease in the weighted average shares outstanding is due to share repurchases completed in the current and prior fiscal years.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – During the six months ended December 31, 2021, we granted 1.5 million shares under our stock-based compensation plan. We granted awards of 0.6 million shares under our stock-based compensation plans during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in shares granted compared to the prior year is a result of the change in timing of grants due to the change in our fiscal year. Stock-based compensation expense of our continuing operations totaled $6.4 million and $13.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and $5.6 million and $13.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost for stock options totaled $0.6 million, and for nonvested shares and units totaled $51.8 million.
