3. | We note your response to prior comment 16. You indicated that in 2018 you signed an agreement to provide application engineering services for total consideration of 11.56 million. You also decided to not recognize revenue prior to obtaining evidence of customer acceptance. In addition, payment terms were set in a manner that the remaining consideration in the amount of 8.56 million will be paid only upon customer acceptance, with the exception of 3 million, which represents a down payment for the project. Please tell us how you accounted for the down payment of 3 million related to this agreement. |
Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, on December 7, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a tier-1 partner to provide application engineering services and, in February 2018, entered into a Statement of Work that described the services to be performed for such partner.
The Company accounted for the down payment of 3 million related to those agreements as deferred revenue because all fees due in connection with the provision of the application engineering services, including such down payment, are subject to customer acceptance.
The down payment is included in the deferred revenue disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Deferred Revenue on page F-14 of the Amended Registration Statement: As of December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $1.3 million, $3.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
