Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2023
Consolidated Statements of Income
We note your response to comment 1. Given that you initially stated in your response
letter dated May 22, 2024 related to comment 3 that you would revise the cost of sales
line item to include the parenthetical to note that it excludes amortization of intangibles
and remove the gross profit subtotal and now have concluded that the missing
amortization of intangibles is immaterial and will no longer comply with the requirements
in Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(C) of Regulation S-K and SAB Topic 11:B, please provide us with
your full materiality analysis in accordance with SAB Topic 1:M that includes how you
calculated the amount of excluded intangible asset amortization given that a portion of the
composite intangible asset includes a technology component.

2.We note your response to comment 2. Considering the significance of total consolidated
revenue to the Consolidated Statements of Income and the other financial statements
provided, please provide us with a comprehensive materiality analysis prepared in

immaterial to your consolidated financial statements, including the amount of revenues

of goods and services, obligations for returns, refunds, and other similar obligations, and

12A, (b) significant judgments for the method used to recognize revenue over time and
why the method faithfully depicts the transfer of the services with reference to ASC 606-
10-50-18, and (c) variable consideration and any other obligations with reference to ASC
606-10-50- 20.
