We note your response to prior comment 5. We note from your disclosure on page 7
that you exclude Hong Kong and Macau from your definition of "PRC" or "China" for
reference to specific laws and regulations adopted by the PRC. Please revise to
remove the exclusion of Hong Kong and Macau from such definition. Clarify that all
the legal and operational risks associated with having operations in the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) also apply to operations in Hong Kong and Macau. In this
regard, ensure that your disclosure does not narrow risks related to operating in the 1.

PRC to mainland China only. For example, we note your disclosure on page 4 that
"Hong Kong does not have similar regulations as of the PRC to extend oversight and
control over offerings that are conducted overseas." Where appropriate, you may

PRC law and describe any risks and consequences to the company associated with
those laws.

orders with each of these customers. Additionally, please tell us the number of
purchase orders the company entered into with each of these customers during this

orders with the word "primarily", please describe the other types of agreements you
have with these customers.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(m) Revenue recognition, page F-12
We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 17 to clarify how the
distinctness of performance obligations is evaluated in contracts with customers.
Please further explain to us in reasonable detail how you determined that your
promises are highly interdependent and interrelated. Refer to the examples in ASC 5.

606-10-55-136 through 55-150K and the basis for conclusion in BC32 and BC33 of
ASU 2016-10.
6.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 17. You state that
contracts with customers often contain multiple performance obligations and that you
evaluate each promised good or service in a contract to determine whether it is
distinct. For each of the Contract Scenarios described in your revised disclosure, we
note that the promises in the contracts are considered a single performance obligation.
Please revise your disclosures to clarify that you have contracts that contain multiple
promises to deliver goods or services, rather than referring to your contracts as having
multiple performance obligations.
7.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 18. Please provide us
with a more comprehensive accounting analysis as to why IT professional services do
not meet the criteria in ASC 606-10-25-27(c). Explain why your performance does
not create an asset with an alternative use, considering your services are tailored to
customer needs. In addition, explain why you do not believe you have an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date, considering your typical
engagement letters permit clients to terminate the engagement without penalty at any
time, as noted from your disclosure on page 20, and considering your typical payment
terms described on page 75.
8.We note your revised disclosure of the breakdown of revenue among products and
services in response to prior comment 20. Please further explain how you determined
the categorization of each item. We note your disclosure that you cannot allocate
revenue to individual components such as hardware, software, or services, so revenue
is categorized based on the predominant characteristic of the combined deliverable.
Please explain how you determined that services were the predominant characteristic
for each of the contract scenarios under Revenue from Services.
(n) Cost of revenues, page F-18
9.Please explain to us how you allocate cost of revenue among products and services
and how it correlates to the allocation of revenue to products and services. Describe
the nature of the costs included in each category and why the margins on revenue
from services contracts are so much higher than the margins on revenue from products
contracts.
