Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenue Recognition, page 61
1.We note that during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company began shipping
Hub Devices with features that function independently from its proprietary software
subscription (“distinct Hub Devices") that are recognized as a separate performance
obligation in hardware revenue. We further note that when distinct Hub Devices are
included in a contract, the hosted services performance obligation is comprised of only the
Company’s proprietary software. Please help us better understand why when the distinct
Hub Devices are included in a contract, they are recognized as a separate performance
obligation from the hosted services performance obligation. We refer you to ASC 606-
10-25-19 through 22.

2.In your "Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures" section, you disclose that
under the supervision and with the participation of your management, including your
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, you conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set
forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Please clarify whether you performed an
assessment of the effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting
as December 31, 2022.
3.We note your disclosure that this report does not include a report of management’s
assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of
the company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by
rules of the SEC for newly public companies or emerging growth companies. Since this is
your second 10-K these transition rules no longer apply. Please amend your filing to
include management's assessment of internal control and revise your Exhibit 31
certifications, accordingly. Identify in your report which version, 1992 or 2013, of the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission’s Internal Control – Integrated Framework you utilized when performing
your assessment of internal control over financial reporting.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
You may contact Morgan Youngwood, Senior Staff Accountant at 202-551-3479 or
Stephen Krikorian, Accounting Branch Chief at 202-551-3488 with any questions.
