Results of Operations, page 30
We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 6, however we reiterate the
comment. Please provide a more informative discussion and analysis of your results of
operations. For example:
•Expand your discussion and analysis to include results of the three-month period
ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
•With respect to changes in net revenues for each period presented, please enhance
your discussion to disclose the degree to which such changes were impacted by price
changes or volume of goods or services being sold or the introduction of new
products or services. Refer to Item 303(b)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K.1.

•Revise and expand your disclosures to discuss any material trends related to changes
in costs. In this regard, you identified hosting costs as one of the drivers of the
increase in cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2023. However, hosting and data center bandwith costs as
presented on page 31 decreased significantly for the three and six months ended June
30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 while during the
same periods installation and labor costs increased significantly.
2.Please provide a comparative analysis of operating expenses for the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022 in tabular form.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 33
3.We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 8 and we reissue the
comment. For example, the reported amount of net cash used by operating activities
decreased $5.2 million, or approximately 48%, in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.
Please provide an analysis of the reason(s) for this variance. Refer to item 303(b) of
Regulation S-K regarding analysis of material changes in line items from period to period.
Also refer to the introductory paragraph of section IV.B and B.1 and B.2 of Release No.
33-8350 for guidance regarding the content of the analysis. For example, when preparing
the discussion and analysis of operating cash flows, address material changes in the
underlying drivers (e.g., cash receipts from the sale of goods and services and cash
payments to acquire materials for manufacture or goods for resale) rather than merely
describe items identified on the face of the statement of cash flows, such as the
reconciling items used in the indirect method of presenting cash flows.

generated by those companies listed under "key customers."
