accordance with SAB 74 rather than the disclosures required by ASC 606-10-50. Please
tell us how you considered the disclosure guidance set forth in ASC 606-10-50 for your
revenue that is subject to ASC 606 (e.g. explanations of your performance obligations,
transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, significant judgments
applied, determining the timing of satisfaction of each performance obligation, election of
practical expedients, etc.). We remind you of the guidance in Rule 10-01(a)(5) of
Regulation S-X, which would elicit both annual and interim periods financial statement
disclosures prescribed by new accounting principles and practice in each quarterly report
in the year of adoption.
3.We note your accounting policy for the recognition of maintenance revenue. Please
describe to us the basis in GAAP for this policy.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy

action by the staff.
